Xiao Han, About to Travel Far
"What, the Ice Saint has returned!" Yi Huang sneered repeatedly. If outsiders saw this scene, they would probably be shocked.
The legendary Ice Saint, who was said to be incredibly powerful and could even forcefully defeat the Langya Pavilion Master Soul Hall Master, was now standing motionless, upright, staring straight ahead.
"Of course, where else can I go if I don't go home?" Xiao Han said with a bright smile, seemingly oblivious to the oddity in Yi Huang's words.
"Let it go this time, but don't be so impulsive next time. You dare to go anywhere and aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
Yi Huang seemed quite satisfied with Xiao Han's answer, only making a routine complaint before giving it no further thought.
"Tell me, how many good things did you get this time?" Soon, Yi Huang's attention shifted again, and she began to ask Xiao Han about his haul.
Now, the former was filled with anticipation. According to Xiao Han's previous statement, he had robbed nearly ten Dou Sheng Experts in one go, so there would definitely be plenty of good stuff.
What's more, Xiao Han had also taken a chunk of flesh from the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, and thinking of this made Yi Huang feel even more pleased.
After the sudden betrayal by the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, Yi Huang's already dwindling patience with those annoying guys had long since run out.
"Everything is here." Xiao Han flipped his hand, and a crimson Storage Ring appeared in his palm, engraved with a pattern of myriad beasts, faintly radiating a scorching heat.
"What a wonderful thing!" Yi Huang's eyes lit up, her gaze filled with golden shapes.
This Storage Ring is of exceptional quality. If she is not mistaken, it should be the famous Crimson Flame Storage Ring, a unique existence in the Fierce Qi Continent.
Since the Storage Ring used to hold things is so high-end, Yi Huang is even more looking forward to the good stuff inside.
"These are..." Yi Huang only examined them briefly before being instantly captivated.
"These are all Earth Rank Advanced Dou Techniques and cultivation methods!" Yi Huang's beautiful eyes widened suddenly, and she exclaimed in surprise.
"There should be more than that!" Yi Huang calmed down in an instant and said with certainty.
Although the number of these High-grade Earth-tier Cultivation Method and Dou Techniques is quite terrifying, even comparable to the Langya Pavilion's Scripture Repository, Yi Huang simply does not believe that they can be worth as much as a group of Dou Sheng Expert.
"This is nothing," Xiao Han said with a smile.
"And these too." With that, Xiao Han took out two more Storage Ring of equally high quality, one green and one yellow, and handed them over.
"Hiss~"
"So many medicinal herbs, you're really asking for the moon!" Yi Huang first glanced at the items in the cyan Storage Ring, and was shocked by the mountain of high-grade medicinal herbs piled up inside.
She even spotted many of the medicinal herbs needed for the prescription. Her confidence in completing the task grew stronger.
"This is specially reserved for you few." Xiao Han gestured to the yellow Storage Ring. Naturally, Xiao Han had already selected the good items in advance.
He gathered together many resources suitable for Yi Huang and Ye Jianxin, who were very close to Xiao Han, including medicinal herbs and Dou Techniques pills, and now it was time for Yi Huang to distribute them.
"These are... Ninth Grade Pill!" Feeling the energy fluctuations and fragrance of the pills in the Storage Ring that even the Jade Bottle couldn't block, Yi Huang was extremely surprised. This guy actually managed to extort even Ninth Grade Pill from her. His skill level has improved!
"And there are Heaven Tier Dou Technique..." Yi Huang was already able to take this calmly, but it was just Heaven Tier Dou Technique, it wasn't like she didn't have one.
However, when her gaze fell upon several pieces of jade radiating a bewitching, blood-red light, her expression suddenly became complicated. "Demon Phoenix Blood Jade?!"
Yi Huang had imagined her reaction to the Demon Phoenix Blood Jade countless times. Perhaps she would be excited, or perhaps she would be indifferent. But now, she felt only complicated emotions.
"What do you need these things for? We have no use for them." Yi Huang wasn't being stubborn; she was stating the facts.
The Demon Phoenix Blood Jade is a special material with a very limited audience; it is useless except for members of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan and certain extremely special elixirs. Yi Huang has absolutely no need for such a thing.
"Back then, I thought I'd take the risk and accept whatever conditions those old bastards offered," Xiao Han said calmly.
"What a waste of resources!"
Yi Huang muttered a curse under her breath, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips. How could she not be excited that someone had remembered her unintentional remark from back then?
"What do you plan to do with the Soul Hall?" Yi Huang asked with a smile after accepting Xiao Han's spoils.
"The Soul Hall?" Xiao Han pondered for a moment, seemingly seeking Yi Huang's opinion, "And you?"
"In my opinion..." Yi Huang drawled, "We should maintain the same relationship with the Soul Hall as before. We should fight when necessary, as long as we control the scale."
The Battle of the Dou Sheng was actually the scene that Yi Huang least wanted to see, because no matter how powerful Langya Pavilion was, it could never compare with the Soul Hall, which had the Soul Clan as its backer.
However, it's not so troublesome for Dou Zun and Dou Zong below them. With the existence of the Cultivation Secret Realm and Gathering Yuan Array, the cultivation speed of disciples and Elder of the Langya Pavilion far exceeds that of other forces, and the core combat power is formed at an extremely fast speed. If the fight continues, Langya Pavilion has nothing to fear!
"Great minds think alike!" Xiao Han praised.
Immediately, despite Yi Huang's disapproving look Xiao Han continued, "After a while, the Soul Hall will probably send someone to discuss a ceasefire. Then it'll be up to you!"
"A ceasefire agreement?" Yi Huang asked in surprise. For both sides, a ceasefire was just a matter of a word, but signing a ceasefire agreement was a different story. It was something that would be announced to the entire Central Plains.
This means that the Soul Hall has completely abandoned the idea of launching a large-scale attack on the Langya Pavilion and is preparing to take action covertly instead.
As long as Langya Pavilion can maintain its stability, the so-called ceasefire agreement, which may become worthless, will remain in place for a long time.
"Can you name your terms?" Yi Huang's next question left Xiao Han somewhat helpless.
"Hey, don't be too greedy!"
He's already gotten a lot of good stuff from the Soul Hall this time. If he takes more, isn't he afraid they'll turn on him?
"What, where are you planning to run off to this time?" Yi Huang asked suspiciously.
"I need to go to other continents outside of Central Plains to investigate some things," Xiao Han said frankly, without hiding his whereabouts.
"Investigate what?" Yi Huang frowned slightly. Langya Pavilion also had its own intelligence system in other regions. What could be so important that Xiao Han would need to personally intervene?
"You should still remember the Ruins from back then, right?" Xiao Han asked meaningfully.
"Is it related to those guys?"
Yi Huang asked with a solemn expression. Of course, she had a deep impression of the Sealed World that had greatly damaged Xiao Han's cultivation ten years ago, and now that the other party had mentioned it, she immediately recalled it.
"Yes, some of our suspicions need to be verified."
Xiao Han said that if the Soul Clan and the Evil Clan really cooperated, then the Soul Hall, as a subordinate force of the Soul Clan, would definitely have something related to it.
After all, Evil Qi is a novel power, and outside of the Evil Clan, it's estimated that only he and Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice can recognize it across the entire continent. Perhaps because it's too sinister, the Soul Hall doesn't dare to use it extensively in the Central Plains.
However, outside of Central Plains, there is no such concern. At most, people will say that the Soul Hall has developed some terrifying methods, but they will not pay too much attention to it.
This is a place where everyone sweeps the snow from their own doorstep, ignoring the frost on others' roofs. No one cares about the lives or deaths outside the Central Plains.
"Don't worry, there aren't any strong people in those places," Xiao Han reassured him.
"Fine, I'll let you out for a few more years," Yi Huang said, pouting unhappily. The other party was doing legitimate business, and their safety was guaranteed, so she had no reason to stop them.
