Han Li's Hope and Despair

Tai Ming paused briefly, then continued:

"Very well, Han Li, considering your impending demise, I'll tell you one more piece of news."

My Ancestor received a letter when he killed an Evil Cultivator at the Golden Core Peak!

Within a year, the leader of the Soul Devouring Cult will surely break through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage!

Once they break through, the Nine Splendor Sword Sect will surely be destroyed!

With its millennia-old heritage, even if the Soul Devouring Cult wins, it will be a Pyrrhic victory!

At that time, the Eastern Sky Dragon Sea Region will be leaderless and in chaos!

Hearing Tai Ming's words, Han Li was greatly alarmed!

His eyes were filled with shock. The first Ancestor of the Nine Splendor Sword Sect was at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. If the leader of the Soul Devouring Cult broke through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, then...

"Tai Ming! Now that you know about this, why didn't you report it to the Nine Splendor Sword Sect!"

By concealing this information, how is your Ancient Blade Sect any different from a traitor?!

"Hahaha..." Upon hearing Han Li's words, Tai Ming burst into wild laughter!

His face then contorted with rage as he snarled, "Traitor? What a joke!"

Throughout history, the victor is king and the loser is villain!

How can you call him a traitor!

The Nine Splendor Sword Sect has ruled the Eastern Sky Dragon Sea Region for too long, and now it's time for a change of leadership!

Only when the Nine Splendor Sword Sect and the Soul Devouring Cult are both severely weakened can the waters of this sea become turbid.

Only when the waters turn muddy will the struggle for supremacy reignite!

And my Ancient Blade Sect will surely emerge victorious from this struggle!

Become the new overlord of the Eastern Sky Dragon Sea Region!

Hahaha..."

At this point, Tai Ming burst into maniacal laughter, as if he could already see the Ancient Blade Sect becoming the overlord!

Han Li scoffed at this, coldly mocking:

"Hehe, your Ancient Blade Sect only has one Half-step Nascent Soul, while the Heavenly Sword Palace has three Half-step Nascent Soul."

The Qingyun Sect has as many as four members at the Half-step Nascent Soul. Besides these two forces, there are several other forces whose strength is no weaker than your Ancient Blade Sect!

What makes you believe that the Ancient Blade Sect can stand out in the competition among numerous powerful factions?

It's ridiculous!

"Heh, why should I? It's because the last Nascent Soul Pill of the Nine Splendor Sword Sect will belong to my Ancient Blade Sect!"

Once the Ancestor breaks through to the Nascent Soul, his Kingly Aura will surely awe the entire audience!

Alright, that's enough said, Han Li. Hand over your treasures, and True Person grant you a complete corpse!

Don't say you don't have any. You're a useless person with Four Spiritual Roots. It's absolutely impossible for you to have reached the Foundation Establishment Peak at the age of sixty-one without any treasures!

Don't even think about jumping off the cliff! Behind you is the Desolate Spirit Cliff; if you jump, you'll be torn to pieces!

After saying that, he walked step by step toward Han Li, looking at Han Li, who was forced into a desperate situation, as if he were looking at a lamb to the slaughter!

Upon hearing this, Han Li gritted his teeth, and then, as if having made a decision, leaped off the cliff!

He roared:

"Tai Ming! Ancient Blade Sect! If I, Han Li, do not die today, I will avenge this blood feud one day!"

Upon seeing this, Tai Ming was startled and quickly stepped forward to try and grab the falling Han Li, but it was too late.

Watching Han Li fall off the cliff, Tai Ming slammed his fist into the ground.

Boom!

The ground cracked instantly!

Damn it! Han Li! Good! Very good!

I'd rather die than hand over the treasure!

Hateful!"

Tai Ming was merely raging in a state of impotent fury; he would never dare to jump off the Desolate Spirit Cliff.

A cultivator who has lost their Spiritual Qi and has not Body Refinement is no different from an ordinary person!

He had no desire to experience it.

"Hmph! If he jumps off the Desolate Spirit Cliff, this kid will definitely die a horrible death!"

Mission accomplished! The entire Han Family wiped out!

Let's go!

"Yes, Fourth Elder!" The ten Foundation Establishment Peak behind him replied respectfully, and then followed Tai Ming away from the place.

Under the cliff.

Han Li forced himself to swim ashore through the wastewater, suppressing his nausea.

"Vomit!"

After vomiting a bellyful of waste water, he lay on the ground and sighed.

"Fortunately, no one knows that I cultivate Law Body Dual Cultivation. If my Body Refinement cultivation hadn't reached the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage today, I would be dead by now."

Cough... cough cough...

After a bout of coughing, Han Li vomited a mouthful of black blood.

"No, the injuries are too severe; even walking is difficult. He needs to recover first."

Thinking of this, Han Li flipped his right hand, and Little Green Bottle emitting a blue light appeared in his palm.

He took a drop of the blue liquid from it and swallowed it.

The next moment, a miraculous scene unfolded.

Even though the Cultivation Method wasn't activated, Han Li's body was rapidly recovering under the influence of the drop of green liquid.

Before long, his injuries had mostly healed.

Looking at the Little Green Bottle in his hand, Han Li exclaimed, "Little Green Bottle, you've saved my life again!"

He then put the Little Green Bottle back into his body and stood up to observe his surroundings.

It's so dark...

We can't climb up from here; it would be troublesome if Tai Ming sent people to keep watch up there.

Walk around and see if there's another way out. We can't mobilize any spiritual energy here, so be careful!

And so, Han Li continued walking, guided by his intuition, and along the way encountered several Blood Patterned Cracked Face Monsters.

However, they were all First Stage creatures; there wasn't even a single Second Stage one.

Having successfully avoided all the forks in the road, we arrived at the entrance to Peach Blossom Spring.

"No way out? This is a dead end!"

Han Li looked up at the narrow strip of sky above him. "Damn it! Is this the only way to climb up?!"

A nameless anger rose in his heart, and he punched the stone in front of him.

The stone immediately moved aside, giving way a body length!

It emitted a dazzling light!

Seeing this, Han Li's eyes were filled with excitement. "Could it be... a great fortuitous opportunity?"

This incredible wealth has finally come to me Han Li!

Very good!

If I obtain the fortuitous opportunity within, I, Han Li, will surely increase my strength greatly! I will avenge my Lineage!

We must not be careless! We must not be careless!

There might be danger inside!

With this thought in mind, Han Li took out a Clan Suppressing Treasure Blade, Third-grade Mid-tier Dragon Slaying Saber, and held it horizontally in front of him.

With this treasured sword in hand, I can slay any enemy!

He took a deep breath and walked into the crevice.

Bang!

The Dragon Slaying Saber fell to the ground with a thud.

"This..."

Han Li stared at the potholed landscape before him, his body trembling, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Peachy!

He was an Alchemy Master and was extremely familiar with certain spiritual peaches.

Many of them are of the Third Stage!

There were even other heavenly materials and earthly treasures, because the residual life force was too strong!

And it's safe to say that peach trees once grew in all those pitted holes!

More importantly, this Spirit Soil is not completely dry yet, which means that these peach trees were dug up not long ago!

This proves he was a step too late!

"Ah! Damn it!"

Which damned thing dug up all the treasures here!

When will I ever get my revenge?!

When will I get my revenge?!

Meanwhile, on the other side...

In a patch of grass.

Zhang Xuanchen felt a persistent itch in his nose and wanted to sneeze, but he forced himself to hold it in.

His eyes are now red and filled with tears.

"Who's insulting me? You son of a bitch, don't let me catch you!"

P. S.: This Han Li is not the same as that Han Li. Please do not associate him with that powerful figure.
