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

Chapter 55: Sensing an Ambush

He had been following most of these principles himself, such as hiding his true abilities, concealing his intelligence, being cautious, seeking truth, and speaking carefully.

After studying the Dao for decades, he had become quite proficient in these areas.

He had even practiced self-restraint and emotional control to some extent. Self-restraint did not mean giving up all desires, and emotional control did not mean forgetting emotions. It meant controlling the six desires such as greed and lust, as well as mastering one's own joys and sorrows, among the seven emotions.

As for doing good deeds? Han Li did not comment on it. He often did good deeds and had his own code of conduct, with his own definition of what is good.

"Master, I'm leaving."

Han Li bowed deeply to Gongsun Yun, then turned and left without looking back.

Watching his departing figure, Gongsun Yun sighed softly. He had given all the instructions that needed to be given. Whether Tianxuan Mountain could survive this great calamity would now depend on fate.

After leaving Tianxuan Mountain, Han Li flew to a sparsely populated area and then used the Step-Gallop Stance to travel thousands of miles in a single step, heading towards Lingjun City.

Lingjun City was over two hundred thousand miles away from Tianxuan Mountain in a straight line. In the past, it would have taken him a long time to fly there, but with his mastery of the Step-Gallop Stance, it would only take him a couple of hundred steps, not much time at all.

Huozhou City, Wang Residence.

Wu Anwang was fishing by the pond. There was no hook or fishing line on his fishing rod, yet he was able to catch fish.

"Wonderful," exclaimed a middle-aged scholar dressed in a blue Confucian robe, clapping his hands in approval.

After fishing for a while, Wu Anwang put the fishing rod aside and casually asked, "How is the operation going?"

The middle-aged scholar put down his book and said seriously, "Wan Guiyuan and Yang Tianxiong have already carried out your plan and will have results within the month."

Wu Anwang picked up the fishing rod again and sat like an old fisherman, patiently waiting.

Eliminating the remnants of the White Lotus Sect was just a small matter. He only cared about two major issues: one was the opportunity to advance to the True Martial Realm, and the other was when the mysterious force that had been causing trouble in the Great Qian Dynasty would make its next move.

The middle-aged scholar also picked up his book and continued reading, a hint of amusement appearing on his face. If one looked closely, they would see three large characters on the cover of the book.

Chaotic Territory.

One after another, voices sounded continuously, revealing a clear understanding of the situation in the Xuan Domain and the Great Qian Dynasty. Even Wu Anwang's intentions were crystal clear.

Leizhou, Fengyang Prefecture.

On a five-thousand-zhang high mountain, Yun Miao wore revealing clothes, her hot figure fully exposed, as she sat on a large rock, lazily shaking her crystal-clear bare feet.

This was a place that Han Li had to pass through on his way back from Tianxuan Mountain to Lingjun City. Jiang Baiye and Yun Miao had been guarding here for almost a year, waiting for Han Li's return.

Both women were Soul Refining Realm cultivators, and their spiritual awareness could cover a radius of hundreds of miles. They were constantly monitoring a large area, not letting anything escape their notice. They would rotate their shifts every so often.

They had purchased a lot of the latest information about Han Li and knew that he had been accepted as a closed-door disciple by Gongsun Yun, the head of Tianxuan Mountain. It was obvious that he would be given a large amount of resources and treasures.

However, the two women were not afraid at all. How could a Vital Spirit Realm cultivator escape their grasp, no matter how powerful his treasures were?

They were both outstanding women of their respective sects, possessing a large number of treasures and cultivating their sect's unique techniques. Their strength was not something that ordinary Soul Refining Realm cultivators could compare to.

"Hey, Jiang Baiye, how much longer do you think Han Li will take to return to Lingjun City? Will he not go back?"

After enduring for an hour, Yun Miaoyi couldn't hold it in any longer and shouted at Jiang Baiye, who was meditating behind her.

Jiang Baiye reluctantly opened his eyes, feeling annoyed with Yun Miaoyi, but he couldn't pretend not to hear her, otherwise Yun Miaoyi would use her spiritual sense to disturb him.

"Wait another year, if Han Li doesn't return, we'll go and capture him and his family." After Jiang Baiye finished speaking, he closed his eyes again.

They had long known the reason why Tianxuan Mountain was calling back its disciples, so they were certain that Han Li would return to Lingjun City.

But if Han Li were to hide in Tianxuan Mountain and not return for a long time, then Jiang Baiye would have to do something against her own will. She had to retrieve the Body Nurturing Furnace, otherwise the Canghai Sect would have a hard time surviving this calamity.

Considering how much Han Li valued his concubine and descendants, if he learned that the Han Mansion was in trouble, he would most likely rush back immediately.

"A year is too long, six months, at most six months." Yun Miaoyi muttered, but she realized that Jiang Baiye ignored her. Yun Miaoyi didn't mind, as she was willing to wait for six months.

She didn't have the patience to continue waiting here with Jiang Xiaoniu.

One hundred and eighty miles away, a figure stood in the sky, frowning as he looked ahead.

This person was Han Li, who had returned from Tianxuan Mountain.

Although he had the ability to travel a thousand miles in a single step with the Step-Gang Treading the Stars technique, his speed was extremely fast. However, Han Li was cautious and released his spiritual sense along the way to avoid encountering any powerful ambushes.

With his speed, even if he couldn't win, he could still escape. The speed of the perfected Step-Gang Treading the Stars technique was comparable to that of an ordinary Myriad Manifestations Grandmaster.

There were no Grandmasters in Leizhou, and if he encountered danger, he would run away. Even an Empty Void Grandmaster wouldn't be able to catch up to him.

He had just stepped here and his spiritual sense had already covered the area. He saw two beautiful figures on a distant mountain and heard their conversation.

These two Soul Refining stage women were actually waiting for him, and it seemed like they had been waiting for quite some time.

"Sure enough, it's an ambush." Han Li muttered to himself. He had acted cautiously out of prudence, but he didn't expect that someone would actually ambush him.

Two powerful Soul Refining stage cultivators, if it weren't for the fortuitous encounter and his promotion to the Soul Refining stage at Tianxuan Mountain, he would probably have fallen into their hands.

Han Li carefully examined the appearance of the two women and found that he didn't recognize them, which puzzled him.

Why would someone ambush him for no reason?

And they even said that if they couldn't wait for him, they would go and capture his family. It was obvious that the two women knew him well and knew where his weakness lay.

Did the Hehuan Sect find out that Cui Ping was going to be killed by him and send people to assassinate him?

Han Li shook his head. The woman with the hot figure seemed to have cultivated demonic techniques, but the other woman was definitely not from the Hehuan Sect.

If the Hehuan Sect had really found out, they wouldn't be so polite. They would have already killed him and destroyed the Han family in Lingjun City.

Did news of the Birth Transformation Pill formula leak out? Did news of him possessing the Body Nurturing Furnace spread? Did the Great Qian Imperial Tutor find out that he had taken in the remnants of the Lin Clan as concubines?

After thinking it over, Han Li determined that only these few things would bring about big trouble. The last possibility was very small, for the same reason as the Hehuan Sect.

Han Li took a deep look ahead, turned around and bypassed the two women, returning to Lingjun City first.

For him, it was just a few extra steps. He would plan slowly after returning, whether it was the Birth Transformation Pill formula or the Body Nurturing Furnace, both were of great importance.

He didn't have the confidence to deal with those two Soul Refining stage women. Since they dared to ambush him, their methods were probably not simple.

He preferred to plan first and then act, reducing the risk. After all, he still had at least six months.
