Immortal Martial Arts: Marry a Wife and Live a Long Life

Chapter 45: One Step Too Late

Tianxuan Mountain's summons?

Han Li furrowed his brows, his thoughts quickly shifting, unsure why Tianxuan Mountain would issue such a summons.

In history, Tianxuan Mountain has issued several summons, all involving major events with far-reaching consequences.

But there is currently no major event happening in Leizhou, and even the Wusheng Old Mother, who was causing trouble in Qingzhou and Huozhou, has been low-key for a long time.

Could it be because of the Martial Peaceful King?

This thought flashed through Han Li's mind, which he only learned about in the past few days.

Half a month ago, a group of important figures from the three provinces gathered in Huozhou City to welcome the arrival of the Martial Peaceful King from the imperial capital.

The Martial Peaceful King is the ninth prince of the former emperor, and the current Qian Emperor is the first prince. The source of their conflict naturally lies in the throne.

The Martial Peaceful King is skilled in warfare and has repeatedly annihilated the armies of the Great Scenic Dynasty during their battles, even killing a Grandmaster, earning great military achievements and having a significant influence in the military.

During the reign of the former emperor, the Martial Peaceful King had always guarded the northern border to defend against the Great Scenic Dynasty, making him one of the most powerful contenders for the throne.

Although the current Qian Emperor has also reached the Myriad Manifestations Realm, he relies more on his identity as the Crown Prince, accumulating various supreme resources.

The call for the Martial Peaceful King's ascension has always been high, with a large following in the Great Qian Dynasty, surpassing even the Crown Prince. However, when the former emperor abdicated, it was the Crown Prince who inherited the throne.

What surprised both the inside and outside of the Great Qian Dynasty was that the Martial Peaceful King seemed to have no objections to this, ensuring a smooth transition of the highest power in the Great Qian Dynasty.

Despite the Martial Peaceful King's behavior, the current Qian Emperor did not relax his vigilance. The Martial Peaceful King's power and influence were too great, and the resistance to regicide and usurpation was not insignificant.

The Qian Emperor was self-aware. He was inferior to the Martial Peaceful King in terms of talent, cultivation, ability, and influence. But who let him sit on this position?

Sitting on the throne, holding the highest power in the Great Qian Dynasty, he did not want to be driven out one day, so he placed some restrictions on the Martial Peaceful King to test his reaction.

For example, he transferred him from the northern border back to the imperial capital and changed his title from a one-character title "War King" to a two-character title "Martial Peaceful King."

The Qian Emperor also dared not act recklessly. The Martial Peaceful King is one of the top combat forces in the Great Qian Dynasty, with extremely strong strength. He only wanted to reduce the Martial Peaceful King's power and influence, without any intention of harming him.

The outside world has always speculated on how the Martial Peaceful King would deal with the Qian Emperor's actions. What surprised the outside world once again was that the Martial Peaceful King actually ignored them and stayed quietly in his mansion, rarely going out.

Although the Martial Peaceful King has become low-key, no one inside or outside the Great Qian Dynasty dares to ignore his existence.

For example, this time, when the Great Qian Martial Peaceful King arrived in the three provinces, he directly took control of the power. The governors of the three provinces and the chief of the Jingye Department, all Myriad Manifestations Grandmasters, had to obey his orders without any objections.

Han Li thought it was very likely that there was no news of any major enemy attacking Tianxuan Mountain. If there really was a major enemy attack, summoning Sea Opening Realm cultivators would be of little use and wouldn't be of much help.

After considering it for a while, Han Li thought it would be better to go. If he openly defied Tianxuan Mountain's summons, his door would be directly cleared.

When he arrived at Tianxuan Mountain, he could also collect the resources he had accumulated for nearly twenty years, see the situation, and take it easy. If the situation wasn't right, he could leave early.

The favors from Tianxuan Mountain were not worth Han Li risking his life. He could seek revenge for Tianxuan Mountain when he became stronger.

"Returning to the sect should be sooner rather than later. I will set off this afternoon."

Looking at the beautiful concubines around him, Han Li pondered.

Liu Yuxin, Li Mingmeng, Qiuyue Yao, and other concubines hesitated to speak, but in the end, they said, "Husband, be careful on your journey. We will be waiting for you at home."

They also knew that it was a matter of great importance and that Han Li had no choice but to go. After all, his cultivation was only at the Sea Opening Realm, and his strength was not enough to be seen in a major sect like Tianxuan Mountain.

Lin Yiwu and Lin Yiyin, the sister duo, were not worried. They had a good understanding of Han Li's true strength. Being at the peak of the Vital Spirit Realm was considered high-level in Tianxuan Mountain.

Han Li gave some instructions to his concubines and left some backup plans in the Han Mansion before leaving with peace of mind.

A day after Han Li left Lingjun City, two stunning figures quietly sneaked into the Han Mansion to investigate.

They were Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi.

The seventh-grade formation that Han Li secretly purchased and set up couldn't stop the two women at all. They were both exceptional talents in their respective sects, with numerous skills and both being Soul Refining realm cultivators.

The two women searched the Han Mansion several times, only to find that Han Li was not at home. There were only a group of concubines resting and playing in the backyard.

After obtaining information from Fengyang Mansion, Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi rushed to Lingjun City. Fengyang City was tens of thousands of miles away from Lingjun City, but the two women traveled at an incredible speed and arrived in less than half a day.

They were worried that someone else might get ahead of them, and they were also afraid that Han Li would receive the news and escape in advance. Now, the worst-case scenario had happened.

"Could it be that Han Li really received the news and ran away in advance?" Yun Miaoyi muttered.

She wanted to teach Han Li a lesson. Since she couldn't defeat the true cultivators of Tianxuan Mountain, she would take it out on Han Li.

Han Li was fond of women and liked to take concubines, right?

Coincidentally, she was skilled in this area as a member of the Hehuan Sect and Yin Yang Dao. She could give some of her sect's junior sisters and senior sisters to Han Li to enjoy.

Jiang Baiye shook her head and whispered, "Han Li couldn't have known in advance that we were coming."

"Moreover, all of Han Li's concubines and descendants are still here, including the two new concubines he recently took in."

According to the intelligence records, although Han Li was promiscuous, he treated his concubines well and valued his family's descendants. He would rather stay in the Han family and help them develop than go to Tianxuan Mountain. This shows how much he values his family.

"That makes sense."

Yun Miaoyi stuck out her small tongue and licked her lips, eager to try. "How about we capture all of his concubines and have his descendants send him a message, asking him to come back and save them?"

Han Li's concubines were all very attractive, especially the two new ones. They were incredibly beautiful. Although they were slightly inferior when compared individually, the combination of the two sisters was even more alluring.

Yun Miaoyi was very interested in Jiang Baiye and had been tempting her to join Yin Yang Dao and cultivate together, but Jiang Baiye had always refused.

If she couldn't play with Jiang Baiye, playing with Han Li's concubines would also be good. After all, Han Li's concubines were all good-looking and had various styles, which suited her taste.

"Whether the Life Nurturing Furnace is still on Han Li or not is uncertain. Even if it is, it has nothing to do with those concubines," Jiang Baiye said coldly, staring at Yun Miaoyi.

As women, although she didn't like Han Li's behavior, she could see that Han Li's concubines were living well in the Han family.

She understood Yun Miaoyi well. If those concubines fell into her hands, she would probably cause some trouble.

"Narrow-minded," Yun Miaoyi pouted, but didn't mention it again. She was just speaking out of interest.

The two women didn't give up and continued to explore the Han Mansion. They found that Han Li was indeed not there. Although there were some treasures, they didn't catch their attention.

However, the two women received a piece of news. Yesterday, news from Tianxuan Mountain reached the Han Mansion, and Han Li immediately left Lingjun City and returned to Tianxuan Mountain.

Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi exchanged glances, both seeing a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes. They were a step too late and didn't know if they could catch up now.

Afterward, the two women disappeared from the Han Mansion and headed towards Tianxuan Mountain, intending to intercept Han Li on the way.
