Space Wormhole

Xiao Zhan left speechless. As for keeping things secret, Xiao Han did not need to give any instructions; he would naturally handle it properly.

Before Xiao Zhan left, Yi Huang gave him two Eighth Grade Pills—One Origin Pills.

They were Foundation Establishment Pills she gave after learning that Xiao Zhan's two children had yet to begin cultivating.

With the help of these two pills, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li should no longer end up like in the original work, still circling around the Dou Shi realm in their twenties.

The next day, Xiao Lin returned to the Imperial Capital Xiao Clan travel-worn and weary.

Under the envious and puzzled gazes of others, he walked toward Xiao Han's room with the air of a man going to his death.

That momentum of surviving by first casting oneself into death infected quite a few people.

Three days later, Xiao Lin walked out of the room with joy on his face.

No one knew what had happened inside. They only knew that on the second day, Xiao Zhan appeared before everyone with a bruised nose and swollen face.

Two more days passed. At this moment, all the main members of the Xiao Clan had gathered at the Xiao Clan's Martial Arts Arena.

The current Xiao Clan Patriarch, Xiao Zhan, displayed astonishing acting skills. With a stern voice and torrents of tears, he denounced the factions that had taken advantage of their misfortune during these days.

Between his words, he revealed the intense guilt and unwillingness in his heart.

At the same time, he issued the order for the entire clan to withdraw from the imperial capital and head to Wutan City, while not forgetting to express a grand ambition along the lines of "I will definitely return."

This caused the other factions secretly watching to burst into laughter. "The Xiao Clan is still thinking of coming back? It'll already be good enough if they can make it to Wutan City alive."

And above the Xiao Clan's Martial Arts Arena, Xiao Han watched Xiao Zhan's passionate performance with a mocking expression and said with a smile:

"Xiao Lin, that son of yours really does have some talent for acting!"

"Second Uncle, please stop making fun of me." At this moment, Xiao Lin was extremely embarrassed by Xiao Han's teasing, as well as the performance of his disappointing son.

Looking at his face, because he had made another breakthrough, he had already gone from a white-haired old man to looking middle-aged.

However, compared with Xiao Han's appearance of no more than twenty years old, it still was not enough. This led to such a scene: a young man scolding a middle-aged man in the tone of an elder, filled with a sense of dissonance.

What was shocking was that these two were less than ten meters above the Martial Arts Arena, yet not a single person discovered their traces.

After watching enough of the show, Xiao Han asked, "How much longer until you reach Dou Huang Peak?"

Hearing this, Xiao Lin said excitedly, "About another month should be enough. This is all thanks to you, Second Uncle. Otherwise, this life of mine would have ended here."

Hearing the flattery, Xiao Han waved his hand without a care, completely unmoved. "You still have the nerve to say it when you're this slow?"

With an outstanding elder before me, what can I even do?

But soon after, Xiao Han said something that filled him with immense surprise. "I probably won't stay in the Xiao Clan for that long. These are two bottles of Sect Breaking Pills. I'll leave them to you.

"If anyone else needs them later, hand them out. Sigh! For your sake, this young man has truly worried himself sick.

"If anything unexpected happens, contact me. I'll leave for a few days first."

Then he tossed Xiao Lin a Teleportation Jade Slip. "If something happens, crush it."

Without waiting for Xiao Lin to speak, Xiao Han vanished.

Looking at the Teleportation Jade Slip and Sect Breaking Pills in his hand, and thinking of how Second Uncle, an esteemed Dou Sheng Realm powerhouse, still had to rush all over the place for the Xiao Clan, a feeling of emotion rose in his heart, mixed with shame. If not for the fact that he and the others were too useless, how could they have made him so busy, racking his brains for the Xiao Clan's development?

At this moment, Xiao Han, who was "racking his brains" in Xiao Lin's mind, was lying on a flat boulder before the cave of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Facing the warm sunlight, he crossed one leg over the other and had his eyes slightly closed. Beside him, there was also a burly, middle-aged man with a head of purple hair attending to him.

"Senior, what do you think of this strength?"

"Mm!"

Xiao Han gave a hum. "Not bad."

Of course, in Xiao Han's eyes, this was merely stealing a little leisure from a busy schedule. It was definitely not laziness.

While pounding his leg, the Amethyst Winged Lion King confirmed the details with Xiao Han:

"Senior, last time you said you wanted me to protect certain people training in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. To what extent exactly should I do that?"

"Oh, as long as they aren't facing certain death, it's fine. It's acceptable to let them suffer some injuries, or even serious injuries, when appropriate. Also, don't let them know. Understand?"

At this moment, Xiao Han gave his answer. Although Xiao Han hoped to protect the Xiao Clan members' safety as much as possible, he could not let them feel as relaxed as though they had entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range for a vacation. That would only raise a bunch of flowers in a greenhouse.

Afterward, as if remembering something, Xiao Han handed the Amethyst Winged Lion King a Storage Ring.

"These are the rewards for you and the group of magical beasts under you.

"I won't explain the effect of the Royal Extreme Pill. The Xuan-Tier Advanced Dou Technique—these are all yours.

"The rest are Beast Spirit Pills. They can slightly increase a magical beast's cultivation. Leave those for your subordinates."

This Beast Spirit Pill was a first-grade pill Yi Huang had unintentionally dug out from a corner of her inheritance. It was only effective on magical beasts, so it was perfect to get rid of here.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was so moved he nearly cried. There was no helping it—this senior had even prepared shares for the beasts under him. What else could he do?

As for swallowing them all for himself? Heh. These pills were not high in grade, and were basically useless to him.

But to the first-, second-, and even third- or fourth-rank magical beasts under him, they still held some appeal.

More importantly, if he kept them all and angered this senior, what if the senior replaced him?

He could still tell the difference in priority between a one-time deal and long-term business.

He had originally been worried that forbidding them from attacking that group of humans would cause disunity among the beasts. Now, who would dare object?

"I'll construct a Space Wormhole in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range that leads directly to Langya Pavilion in the Central Plains. It'll be inside your cave. You'll be responsible for guarding this place.

Notify me immediately if an enemy you can't deal with appears."

"Yes."

A Space Wormhole? That settled it. As expected, this was someone he could not handle.

Although the Amethyst Winged Lion King holed up in the Magical Beast Mountain Range and never went out, he was still very clear on where the Central Plains were.

Though he did not know what sort of faction Langya Pavilion was, could a place where this senior existed possibly be lacking?

For a Space Wormhole across such a vast distance, an ordinary Dou Zun probably could not accomplish it, right? He had to be a High Level Dou Zun.

Xiao Han clapped his hands, stretched lazily, and yawned.

Looking at the pitch-black opening before him, Xiao Han nodded in satisfaction.

In the future, getting to the Xiao Clan through the Space Wormhole should be much easier. Although he was already a Six-Star Dou Sheng now and his speed was not weak to begin with, doing it that way all the time was still not ideal.

Then he thought of how the Xiao Clan's strength was insufficient. "Looks like I'll have to get them a Space Ship too."

He turned back and said to the Amethyst Winged Lion King standing behind him, "Guard it well,"

then walked inside.
