A Scapegoat-Then Tang San Will Have to Suffer

The group couldn't bear to look at the master and apprentice's identical wicked smiles. They were supposed to be from the Spirit Hall, who worshipped the Angel God, so why did they always give off a villainous vibe?

"Should we stay a few days to lure out that man in black and deal with him?"

Out of caution, Azure Luan still made the suggestion.

"No need. When we leave, just have Sister Yan and Grandpa rearrange the poison array. No one else will be able to find this place."

Han Li shook his head. After he left, the Plane Consciousness would re-seal this place.

At that time, not only Tang Hao, but even if the entire Clear Sky Sect came as a group, they would be misled to other places and would have virtually no chance of getting in.

"Don't worry, Xiao Li can handle it."

Broad Hill chimed in, saying that if he was worried about Han Li before, now that Tang Hao was really going to deliver himself to Han Li's doorstep, he would probably be played to death by Han Li.

"Alright, then let Xiao Li do it."

Azure Luan thought for a moment, considering Han Li's combat strength and the other person's situation. She was only startled by his aura and hurriedly fled. Moreover, Broad Hill clearly knew something, so she agreed directly.

"Alright, shouldn't we reorganize this area?"

After they finished talking, Dugu Bo pointed to the severely damaged basin and said with some heartache.

This is a top-quality medicinal herb field; thankfully, they had already collected all the precious herbs beforehand.

As for the seeds, they are still buried in the soil, but judging from their current state, the situation needs to be reassessed.

"I overlooked that point."

Han Li also glanced around at the situation, feeling a bit of a headache.

This was a miscalculation on his part. He hadn't expected that the commotion during the condensation of his Soul Core would be so great. The environmental damage was almost entirely caused by the spatial elements, resulting in such a tragic situation.

"Let's stay another day and tidy this up; we'll need it later."

Han Li made his decision almost without much thought; he had originally planned to leave after today.

The group nodded, and under Dugu Bo's guidance, the three women began to check the medicinal herb seeds they had planted earlier, while Broad Hill and Azure Luan dealt with the scattered stones and leveled the ground.

As for Han Li, he activated his elemental vision and domain to calm the surrounding energy so as not to affect the others.

After Han Li took the Soul Bone from the corpse Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the energy concentration there actually decreased.

Fortunately, he did not take everything away; he only took the Soul Bone. The complete skeleton and some residual blood remained below. Maintaining the status quo was not a big problem; at most, the effect would be slightly worse.

While sorting through the surrounding energy, Han Li silently comprehended the relevant rules of ice and fire.

Because they were under the watchful eyes of the Divine Realm, and since none of them knew anything about the gods, Han Li refrained from saying certain things.

After obtaining the Soul Bone of the Icefire Dragon King, the gains he mentioned earlier were actually just scraps. His greatest gains were the broken divine Godhood Shard of the two, and the understanding of the rules of ice and fire that remained in the pure spiritual will after the resentment was purified.

The former gave him the ability to slowly accumulate power and then quickly leapfrog through realms, while the latter, although having Plane Consciousness meant that Han Li wouldn't find it difficult to comprehend the rules, could still save him some time.

Overall, this was the biggest gain from his plan; everything else was just something he deliberately showed to the Divine Realm.

With this groundwork laid, he has revealed his potential to become a god on his own. In the eyes of the Divine Realm, he has also completely opposed the Soul Beast. So, the Divine Realm probably won't pay too much attention to the childish things he does on the continent in order to collect faith.

Han Li silently considered his current actions and quickened his pace.

Soon, the group finished their tasks and reunited. Looking at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Basin, which had finally recovered some of its former glory, they showed expressions of satisfaction.

"It's past noon, let's just prepare dinner. Perfect timing, we're planning to head straight back tomorrow after we leave here."

Broad Hill suggested.

"Great, it's rare to see Master in such an interest."

Han Li immediately chimed in, saying that the matter had been resolved and that everyone's strength had improved considerably, which was indeed something to celebrate.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's begin."

Broad Hill glanced at the few people still standing there and urged them on.

So, in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the group got busy. Tian Meng, whose nest was not yet completed, was also conscripted and taken outside by Dugu Bo to hunt prey.

They waited until the last rays of the setting sun before the group of people and the animal began their celebration. Laughter, songs, and the aroma of food filled the entire basin, creating a beautiful scene.

It wasn't until late at night that the basin gradually quieted down, and the group returned to their respective Stone Chamber, some cultivating and others sleeping.

As for Tian Meng, it lay in the basin, with the sky as its blanket and the earth as its bed, and drifted off to sleep.

It's perfectly normal for Soul Beast to sleep in the wild, especially since it doesn't have to worry about attacks from other Soul Beast here, so it's sleeping soundly.

The next day, around 10 a. m., everyone gradually emerged from the Stone Chamber, having already packed up their belongings.

Meanwhile, Tian Meng was still busily building its nest.

After chatting privately with Tian Meng for a while, Han Li said goodbye and walked outside with the others.

It wasn't until the poison array was rearranged and they were preparing to leave Sunset Forest that Broad Hill remembered something and pointed inside.

"Won't that big worm starve to death? What if it tries to steal the medicinal herbs?"

Hearing his master's words, Han Li couldn't help but shake his head and smile, "Don't worry, Master, I left a back door for it. And with its current ice attribute strength, as long as it doesn't do anything reckless, it won't be difficult for it to pass through here safely."

"As for the medicinal herbs, do you think it would dare to?"

"It really doesn't dare."

Broad Hill thought of Tian Meng's performance and learned about its previous experiences and behavior, and shook his head with amusement.

"In that case, there is no place more suitable for it than here. No wonder it looks so happy."

The group chatted and laughed, and before long they had left Sunset Forest.

"Alright, let's not go to Heaven Dou City. Let's part ways here. Remember to write back later."

On the plains outside the forest, Broad Hill glanced at the four of them and casually declared her farewell.

"Aren't you going to see Qian Renxue?"

Han Li asked a question subconsciously.

"No, just take a message back for me. I've already spent quite a bit of time out here, and there are some things I need to tell your Grand Uncle-Master before I go into seclusion."

"I don't want to drag this out any longer and then be overtaken by you."

Broad Hill shook her head in refusal, and then added a self-deprecating remark.

He had already discussed everything with Han Li last night, so there was no point in going back to Heaven Dou City. Besides, it would be a good thing for Han Li and Xiao Xue to spend more time together.

"Alright, let's part ways here."

Han Li cast an inquiring look at the group, and after receiving confirmation, he answered.

"That's settled then. We're leaving. You can go back on your own."

The three Titled Douluo left a message, spread their wings, confirmed their direction, and soared into the sky, quickly disappearing from the group's sight.

"Alright, let's go back too."

After watching the three disappear, Han Li and the three women turned and began their journey home. —In their new mansion in Heaven Dou City.

After Han Li returned, he greeted the three of them and then went straight into his room.

In his Spiritual Space, Han Li looked at his Good Son, who now had some patterns in the sphere of light, and his brain raced.

After a long pause, he spoke.

"You mean you're going to enter another period of slumber?"

Hearing his question, the Little Light Orb moved closer to his feet.

"Yes, Father, your promotion has once again spurred my evolution. Although I can continue to hold on for a while longer, I hope to enter a period of slumber as soon as possible."

"I have a premonition that when I awaken again, I will have all the power and be able to help you even more."

The Little Light Orb was very sincere.

"Yes, you can enter a state of slumber now."

Han Li tapped the armrest and made his decision.

"Praise be to you, great father."

The Little Light Orb excitedly danced around Han Li, expressing its joy.

After chatting for a while, the Little Light Orb withdrew from consciousness and disappeared into the Spiritual Space to go into slumber.

Han Li did not immediately leave, but instead tried out various operations on his own, though he still seemed a bit rusty.

Although the Plane Consciousness has fallen into slumber, its relevant permissions have been transferred to Han Li.

No, to be precise, Han Li himself possesses the highest authority, and the Plane Consciousness is the administrator he bestowed upon him.

However, his strength was too weak before, and his understanding of the rules was also vague, which is why he could not make direct contact.

Now, he possesses Godhood Shard, albeit a broken one, and he has mastered his own Ice and Fire Origin, albeit only at the entry level. But without a doubt, he is qualified to take matters into his own hands.

"Actually, there's not much difference."

Stiffly operating the various functions that his Good Son had previously demonstrated so smoothly, Han Li, covered in sweat, comforted himself.

You're a new driver, it's not like you can't use it, right?

"Next, it's time to make some noise and get them to temporarily drop their attention. I have to say, these eyes are a bit annoying."

After taking over the authority, Han Li clearly felt the attention from the Divine Realm. Although it was still somewhat vague, it undoubtedly made him a little irritated.

"Don't blame your brother for being inhuman, Tang San. Who told you to be the one chosen by Asura? No one is more suitable to be a shield than you. I can only choose to make you suffer a bit."

Han Li murmured something under his breath, choosing the person to attract attention without any hesitation.

"With faith and authority, I'm really becoming more and more of a charlatan. Perhaps I should try organizing a pre-divine meeting?"

Han Li chuckled to himself and exited the Spiritual Space.
