He had taken possession of Lin Xuan's body. Lin Xuan's resentment toward Han Changming ran too deep, indirectly affecting him.
With his current strength, he still would not be a match for Han Changming if they met.
A dark radiance flared from Lin Xuan's body, enveloping him completely.
A long, narrow valley rang with thunderous explosions from time to time, accompanied by deafening peals of lightning that made the earth and mountains tremble.
Han Debiao stood outside the valley, his expression grave.
After a while, amid a miserable howl, a streak of yellow light flew out of the valley—it was the Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape.
The Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape was covered in bloody wounds, more than half its fur had been scorched away, and the smell of burnt flesh wafted from its body.
The Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape flailed wildly, letting out miserable cries, its eyes filled with terror.
Han Debiao frowned tightly. Judging from the Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape's reaction, the restriction here was exceedingly powerful.
According to the map in his possession, there was a mountain here called Hundred Herbs Peak. Going by the name, it should have been a spiritual herb garden.
Han Debiao headed toward Hundred Herbs Peak, only to be blocked by a restriction. If he took a detour, he might trigger other restrictions. Some could be withstood, but others might not be so easily endured.
After giving it some thought, Han Debiao decided to find a place to cultivate in seclusion. It would not be too late to leave once the restrictions weakened.
A true man did not suffer immediate losses. Knowing the restrictions had grown stronger yet forcing his way through anyway would be sheer folly.
Han Debiao left with the Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape and arrived at a concealed cave.
