"At this rate, I'll be out of Soul Pacifying Valley before dark and reach the first town outside the Hun Clan's independent space." Hun Han muttered, looking at the map given to him by a Hun Clan elder.

The entrance to the Hun Clan's independent space, like the Ancient Clan's, was built over a vast, boundless lake. Beyond the lake lay a dense forest. The Demonic Beasts within had long been cleared out by those with ulterior motives. This allowed Hun Han to pass without any Demonic Beast interference after leaving Qin Lan.

"I wonder how Aunt Qin is doing?"

A trace of worry flickered in Hun Han's eyes. He thought to himself, 'The person in black said Aunt Qin has the cultivation of a Half-Saint. She should be able to handle those black-robed figures! But, who exactly wants to kill me?'

Hun Han was a transmigrator, his mind and body far from matching in age. Without motive, there's no harm. To kill someone, there must be a motive. The question is, what was the other party's motive?

Hun Han was the thirteenth son of Hun Tiandi of the Hun Clan. The answer was obvious: they were after the Young Clan Leader of the Hun Clan. Other than that, Hun Han couldn't fathom any other reason for them to want to kill him!

"That's not right, do they even have brains? Even though they saw I awakened the Divine Grade Bloodline, even with only Fighting Qi, First Stage, my future achievements wouldn't be bad. With my talent, I have the strength to contend for the position of Young Clan Leader of the Hun Clan. But, my cheap old father doesn't really favor me."

Hun Han was puzzled. He had always kept a low profile, and because he couldn't cultivate before, he barely interacted with anyone in the Hun Clan. If they weren't trying to assassinate him for the position of Young Clan Leader of the Hun Clan, then what was their goal?

If it was for the position of Young Clan Leader of the Hun Clan, there was no need to kill Hun Han at all. After all, everyone in the Hun Clan had witnessed how indifferent Hun Tiandi was towards Hun Han. Killing Hun Han would be completely redundant!

"Whatever, I'll go to Soul Pacifying Town first and wait for Aunt Qin!"

Familiar with the storyline of Battle Through the Heavens, Hun Han felt as if he had God's perspective. Hun Han knew that in a little over a decade, the Dou Qi Continent would be thrown into turmoil. Hun Tiandi, in order to refine the Emperor Grade Pill, sacrificed hundreds of billions of his clan's descendants. Later, to defeat the Flame Emperor Xiao Yan, Hun Tiandi ruthlessly used many of the Hun Clan's powerhouses as sacrifices.

Hun Han didn't want to be one of the unlucky ones. Regarding the affairs of the Hun Clan, since he had already left their independent space, Hun Han wasn't foolish enough to get involved.

As for Hun Tiandi's eventual tragic fate of being sealed, Hun Han didn't care much for that cheap old father anyway. Before leaving, Hun Han kowtowed to him three times and didn't want to get involved further. Let everything take its course!

"Hoo~ Finally out of the forest."

Hun Han let out a long sigh of relief. Standing at the entrance of the valley, a patch of lush green grass met his eyes. The season was summer. The green grass before him was dotted with countless small white chrysanthemums, with a few scattered golden-yellow flowers standing tall among them. Within five hundred meters, butterflies danced. Three thousand meters away, the smoke from bonfires lit by the residents of Soul Pacifying Town could be faintly seen.

"So beautiful!"

Hun Han licked the Foundation Lollipop in his hand and couldn't help but exclaim.

Before Hun Han could relax, a figure shot towards him from a large tree behind him.

The incident happened suddenly, and it was his first fight. Before Hun Han could react, his body was struck by a terrifying force. He left a low parabolic trajectory in the air before landing heavily fifty meters away.

Hun Han spat out a mouthful of blood, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked up. He saw a person dressed in fiery red clothing, with a delicate appearance, seemingly only in his early twenties. The person looked at Hun Han in surprise, as if they hadn't expected Hun Han to survive a punch from him without dying.

The young man in red couldn't help but exclaim, "Is this the terror of the Primordial Sacred Body! Even though he's only at the Fighting Qi stage, he could withstand a punch from a Great Dou Master. Although, I only used thirty percent of my strength for that punch."

Primordial Sacred Body?

Hun Han was confused by this. How could the people of the Hun Clan know more about him than he knew himself?

In the Battle Through the Heavens plane, the cultivation of fighters was divided into nine stages of Fighting Qi. After that came Fighter, Dou Master, Great Dou Master, Dou Ling, Dou Wang, Dou Huang, Dou Zong, Dou Zun, Dou Sheng, and the legendary Dou Di.

Currently, Hun Han was only at the Fighting Qi stage. To be able to withstand a punch from a Great Dou Master, even if it was only thirty percent of their strength, was enough to show the extraordinary nature of this Primordial Sacred Body!

Faint fluctuations could be heard from the forest. From Soul Pacifying Town, several black dots were also seen in the sky, rapidly approaching. It seemed the commotion here had already attracted the attention of Qin Lan, who was in combat, and the hidden experts of the Hun Clan in Soul Pacifying Town.

Seeing this, the young man in red took out a long sword. The sword was as red as fire, and under the infusion of his Dou Qi, it immediately erupted with blazing flames.

The young man in red's eyes were sharp, and his tone was arrogant. "It seems there's no time. Although I don't want to, the current situation forces me to use this move. This is truly a disgrace to me!"

For a Great Dou Master to kill a six-year-old child, a weakling at the Fighting Qi stage, was indeed a disgrace.

"Die!"

Black-tier High-grade Dou Skill · Blazing Flame Slash

With a wave of the young man in red's hand, the flames from the sword shot out, forming a blade light. Before the crimson blade light fell, the flowers and grass on the ground, more than ten meters away from it, rapidly withered and turned black.

Finally, the blade light fell straight down. Flames instantly engulfed Hun Han's figure. When the light dissipated, a terrifying black line, a hundred meters long and over twenty meters wide, was left on the ground.

The flowers and grass on the ground had all turned to ash in that instant. Hun Han's figure was nowhere to be seen. A faint breeze blew, and one could still faintly smell the stench of burnt flesh, like rotten eggs.

Just then, the few black dots that had flown from Soul Pacifying Town had arrived in this space.

"You actually forced me to use two moves. Kid, you can die without regret!" the young man in red thought to himself.

However, the young man in red never dreamed that in a nameless place in the northwest corner of the Dou Di Continent, space rippled, and a six-year-old child in a water-blue robe was spat out by the space.
