“It’s actually true.”

Lu Tianxiang muttered to herself, somewhat dazed. She had been counterattacked by a cultivator at the peak of the Hollow Void Stage, left seriously wounded, captured, and even forced into marriage.

“There’s no need for that; think about Wan Guiyuan and Yang Tianxiong, didn’t I severely injure them as well?” Han Li said with a smile.

Despite his words, he was not in the least bit arrogant. He was well aware of his own situation. His actual attack power was only at the first layer of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, perhaps even weaker than Lu Tianxiang.

His successive victories over three Great Grandmasters relied entirely on surprise attacks.

After Lu Tianxiang was ambushed by him, her strength diminished, his defensive cultivation technique was formidable and his speed fast—she was no match for him.

Wan Guiyuan and Yang Tianxiong were already not at their peak condition and were engaged in battle with Lu Tianxiang, slightly lowering their guard, which allowed him to take advantage of a surprise attack.

Though his offensive power was akin to the first layer of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, his abilities in other aspects were far beyond just the first level of that realm.

His spiritual sense was comparable to the late-stage of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, his speed matched the peak of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, and his defense was on par with the later stages of the Myriad Phenomena Realm. In terms of overall strength, he was indeed stronger than the three Great Grandmasters.

Regaining her focus, Lu Tianxiang looked at Han Li with complex emotions and said faintly, ‘Why reveal your true cultivation level to me?”

She was aware that Han Li was a very cautious man, adept at concealing his abilities. Yet now, he had disclosed his real power, wasn’t he afraid that she might leak this information?

“You are my wife,” Han Li stated succinctly with just five words.

“Heh, not yet,” Lu Tianxiang snorted coldly, her heart whispering to herself, “Wife, huh?”

While Han Li’s actions and words did affect her to some extent, it was only a slight disturbance. After all, she was no young girl, and who’s to say Han Li wasn’t just putting on a show?

Suddenly, Han Li’s brow furrowed a little, and he withdrew the hand that had been wandering over her delicate body, saying indifferently, “I’ll be right back.”

As soon as his words fell, without waiting for Lu Tianxiang to respond, Han Li vanished.

The Han Family’s moving convoy had just entered Qingzhou by a little more than two hundred miles when the cultivators with malicious intentions could no longer restrain themselves and began to accelerate towards the Han Family’s convoy.

Han Li wouldn’t allow them to disturb the Han Family’s relocation. He appeared above the nine cultivators in a flash, then snapped his fingers.

Nine invisible sword energies came into existence out of thin air, imbued with an intent to slaughter all beings, cut through space, and directly pierced the foreheads of the nine cultivators, leaving a hole between their brows.

In an instant, all nine cultivators met their demise.

Their divine spirits and bodies extinguished at that moment, dying very peacefully, never knowing the whereabouts of their enemy.

With a flick of his fingers, several sword energies completely destroyed their corpses, and the traces of the battlefield were erased by the sword energies.

With a single thought, nine space rings landed in his hands. Han Li merely glanced at them before casually putting them away.

“Just as expected, dirt poor!”

Two from the Gangyuan Realm, seven from the Pihai Realm—the total of spirit stones, spirit pills, spiritual artifacts, spirit talismans, and so on, inside their space rings didn’t even amount to two hundred thousand spirit stones.

After a moment of complaining to himself, Han Li stepped forward, returning to the carriage in what was barely the time it takes for two breaths.

Crushing a few minor cultivators without a second thought, Han Li didn’t care in the slightest. If they dared harbor ill intentions towards him and had no value, then death was the right outcome for them.

As Lu Tianxiang pondered about what Han Li might be up to, she was taken aback when, after hardly more than a couple of breaths, Han Li returned, appeared beside her, and effortlessly wrapped his arm around her slender waist.

“Huff-” Lu Tianxiang’s breathing quickened. She instantly forgot what she was thinking about and focused on how to make Han Li behave.

Clearly, she hadn’t come up with any countermeasures, and was being wantonly taken advantage of by Han Li, causing her pretty face to be covered with a blush.

As sunrise and sunset came and went, night fell once again. The Han Mansion’s moving caravan had long left the desolate border area between the two states and was now encamped on a plain.

Along the way, Han Li had taken action several times, killing some clueless cultivators of the Gangyuan Realm and even one from the God Refining Realm, amassing a total of six to seven hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

This caused Han Li to feel somewhat emotional, indeed, “without unearned wealth, a man isn’t rich; without night grazing, a horse isn’t fat”.

The Han Family sold so many Spirit Pills and Spiritual Artifacts but didn’t earn as many Spirit Stones as he had with just a few moves.

“Murder and arson for a gold belt” truly lived up to its reputation.

With so many powerful cultivators dead, the border bandits no longer dared to provoke the Han Family’s migrating caravan, knowing that it concealed a highly skilled God Refining master.

Lu Tianxiang leaned against the carriage window, admiring the night sky, greatly missing the days spent by Erhai, free and authoritative, in control of everything. She deeply disliked her current fragile appearance.

The moonlight was pure and hazy, cascading down from the sky like a stream, resembling a silver river falling from the ninth heaven.

Han Li’s figure appeared silently within the carriage, his eyes flickering with a burning desire as he observed Lu Tianxiang.

Lu Tianxiang exuded a mature, noble, and demure temperament, possessing both the innocence of a young girl and the maturity of a young wife.

With her hands propping her chin as she admired the beautiful night, she was still as a virgin, not only naturally beautiful but also exuding a fresh and refined air, radiating a powerful allure all around her.

“The night is beautiful, but the beauty is even more so.”

Startled by the sudden voice, Lu Tianxiang realized Han Li was already seated beside her, not knowing when he had appeared.

Han Li’s right hand directly blocked her slender waist, pulling her over to rest in his arms.

“Don’t move.”

As Lu Tianxiang was about to react, Han Li whispered in her ear, the warm breath sending her into a slight frenzy.

Seizing the moment when Lu Tianxiang was distracted, Han Li’s left hand became restless, causing Lu Tianxiang to grow fearful, worried about what Han Li might do.

“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything rash,” Han Li said, nibbling on her earlobe. “Hmph,” Lu Tianxiang scoffed, ‘That’s what you said last night.’ “I have a secret, do you want to hear it?” Han Li breathed into her ear.

Lu Tianxiang was wary yet asked, “What secret?”

“Actually, I possess a treasure of very high grade, incredibly difficult to refine. It has consumed a great deal of my energy,” Han Li said, lost in his memories.

After obtaining that treasure, in order to refine it and claim it completely, Han Li circulated his cultivation technique, forcibly infusing massive amounts of Gang Yuan into the treasure’s interior.

At first, the treasure reacted violently, struggling fiercely, seeming unwilling to be refined by him and resisting his entry.

Even though Han Li was of high cultivation and profound in his practice, his forceful entry revealed the pathway to the treasure’s core was very narrow, as if no one had ever entered before, indicating he was its first owner.

Han Li was very patient, in no rush, gently drawing out the Gang Yuan and then pushing it back in again, planning a war of attrition to wear down the treasure’s resistance.

After hundreds of repetitions of this process, he finally refined the treasure. His Gang Yuan could effortlessly enter its interior, moving freely and smoothly.

Han Li had finally acquired his life’s first treasure, a treasure of immense power, which would provide him with significant assistance..
