"At this pace, I should be able to leave Soul Pacifying Valley before nightfall and reach Soul Pacifying Town, the first town leading from the Hun Clan's independent space to the outside world." Hun Han looked at the map given to him by a Hun Clan elder and muttered to himself.
Like the Ancient Clan's, the entrance to the Hun Clan's independent space had been built upon a vast, boundless lake. Beyond the lake lay a dense little forest. The magical beasts within had long since been cleared out by someone, so after leaving Qin Lan, Hun Han encountered no magical beasts to block his path.
"I wonder how Aunt Qin is doing?"
A trace of worry filled Hun Han's eyes as he thought, That black-robed man said Aunt Qin possesses the cultivation of a Half-Saint. She should be able to handle those black-robed men, right? But who exactly wants to kill me?
Hun Han was a transmigrator, and his mental age was vastly mismatched with his physical age. No profit, no harm. Anyone who wanted to kill someone had to have a motive. The question was, what was their motive?
Hun Han was Hun Tiandi's thirteenth son. The answer was obvious: they were after the position of Young Clan Leader of the Hun Clan. Other than that, Hun Han could not think of any reason to kill him.
"Something's not right. Do they even have brains? In their eyes, I awakened a Divine Grade Bloodline. Even though I'm only at Fighting Qi, First Stage, my future achievements won't be too shabby. With my talent, I have the ability to contend for the position of Young Clan Leader of the Hun Clan. But that cheap father of mine doesn't like me at all."
Hun Han was puzzled. He had always kept a low profile, and because he had been unable to cultivate before, almost no one in the Hun Clan had interacted with him. If they had not come to assassinate him over the position of Young Clan Leader, then what was their purpose?
If it truly was for the position of Young Clan Leader, there was no need to kill Hun Han at all. After all, everyone in the Hun Clan had seen how cold Hun Tiandi was toward him. Killing Hun Han was completely unnecessary!
"Forget it. I'll go to Soul Pacifying Town first and wait for Aunt Qin!"
Knowing the story of Battle Through the Heavens, Hun Han was like someone blessed with a god's-eye view. He knew that in a little over ten years, turmoil would once again sweep across the Dou Qi Continent. To refine the embryonic Emperor Pill, Hun Tiandi would sacrifice countless descendants of the Hun Clan. Later, in order to defeat Flame Emperor Xiao Yan, Hun Tiandi would ruthlessly use many Hun Clan experts as sacrificial pawns.
Hun Han had no desire to become one of those unlucky victims. Since he had already left the Hun Clan's independent space, he was not foolish enough to involve himself in the Hun Clan's affairs.
As for Hun Tiandi's tragic fate of being sealed away in the end, that cheap father had never treated Hun Han well anyway. Before leaving, Hun Han had kowtowed three times to him. He did not intend to interfere any further. Let fate take its course!
"Whew... I finally made it out of the forest."
Hun Han let out a long breath. Standing at the entrance of the valley, he saw a lush green meadow spread out before him. It was summer in this part of the world. Countless small white daisies dotted the grass ahead, along with scattered golden yellow flowers standing among them. Butterflies fluttered within five hundred meters, while three kilometers away, he could vaguely see smoke from the residents of Soul Pacifying Town lighting their fires.
"It's beautiful!"
Hun Han licked the Foundation Lollipop in his hand and could not help praising the sight.
Before Hun Han could relax, a figure shot toward him from the tree behind him.
The attack came suddenly, and it was his first battle. Before Hun Han could react at all, a terrifying force sent him flying through the air in a low arc before he crashed heavily fifty meters away.
Hun Han spat out blood, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked up ahead. The man wore fiery red robes and had a handsome, refined appearance. He seemed to be just over twenty years old. At that moment, he stared at Hun Han in surprise, seemingly not expecting him to survive a single punch.
The red-robed young man could not help exclaiming, "Is this the terror of the Primordial Sacred Body? He's clearly still only at the Fighting Qi stage, yet he can withstand a punch from a Da Dou Shi. Though I only used thirty percent of my strength."
Primordial Sacred Body?
Hun Han was confused. Why did everyone in the Hun Clan seem to understand him better than he understood himself?
In the Battle Through the Heavens world, a cultivator's realms were divided into Fighting Qi, First through Ninth Stage. After that came Dou Zhe, Dou Shi, Da Dou Shi, Dou Ling, Dou Wang, Dou Emperor, Dou Zong, Dou Zun, Dou Sheng, and the legendary Dou Di.
Hun Han was currently only at the Fighting Qi stage, yet he had endured a Da Dou Shi's punch. Even if it had only contained thirty percent of the opponent's power, it was enough to show how extraordinary the Primordial Sacred Body was!
A faint ripple came from the forest. Several black dots also rose into the air from Soul Pacifying Town and rushed this way. It seemed the disturbance here had already caught the attention of Qin Lan, who was still fighting, as well as the Hun Clan experts hidden within Soul Pacifying Town.
Seeing this, the red-robed young man drew a longsword. The sword was crimson like fire, and as Dou Qi flowed into it, blazing flames immediately surged forth.
The red-robed young man's gaze sharpened, and he said arrogantly, "Looks like there's no time left. I really don't want to, but given the situation, I have no choice but to use this move. What a disgrace to me!"
For a Da Dou Shi to kill a six-year-old child, a weakling still at the Fighting Qi stage, was indeed disgraceful.
"Die!"
Black-tier High-grade Skill: Blazing Flame Slash
With a wave of the red-robed young man's hand, the flames within the sword shot forth and formed a blade of light. Before that crimson blade light even fell, the flowers and grass on the ground more than ten meters away rapidly withered and blackened.
At last, the blade light descended straight down. Flames instantly swallowed Hun Han's figure. When the firelight faded, a terrifying black scar a hundred meters long and over twenty meters wide remained on the ground.
All the flowers and grass on the ground had turned to ash in that instant. Hun Han was nowhere to be seen. A light breeze blew past, and one could faintly smell the rotten-egg stench of scorched flesh.
Just then, the few black dots flying out from Soul Pacifying Town arrived in this area.
I actually had to use two moves on him. Kid, you can die satisfied now! the red-robed young man thought.
However, the red-robed young man never could have imagined that in an unknown place in the northwestern corner of the Dou Qi Continent, space rippled. A six-year-old child in a long aqua-blue robe was spat out from the distorted space.
