Xiao Han Returns to the Sect
A streak of Flowing Light streaked across the sky above the Huan Continent, eventually stopping above Langya City. This blatant and undisguised behavior inevitably attracted the attention of the city's disciples Elder.
Everyone was stunned at first, then flew into a rage.
Arrogant! Absolutely outrageous!
The pain inflicted by the two Profound Demon Emperors had not yet completely subsided, and the entire Langya Heavenly Palace was burning with resentment. Today, this action had completely ignited the powder keg within the Langya Heavenly Palace.
"I'd like to see which damned fool dares to cause trouble at our Langya Heavenly Palace!"
In case of an emergency, a disciple will go to report it, while several Elders will prepare to meet the uninvited guests together.
However, before they could even set off, orders had already been issued from higher up.
"Each should perform their own duties!"
Although the Elder was unwilling, he did not disobey the order, and then a line of conspicuous text appeared in the sky.
"Welcome back to the sect Palace Master!"
"The Palace Master is back?"
Everyone blinked and looked at the large characters on the horizon, and the whole city immediately erupted in excitement.
Back when the Profound Demon Emperor invaded, everyone in the Langya Heavenly Palace knew that the Palace Master had secretly left. Otherwise, how could a single Profound Demon Emperor have broken through Immortal Grade Spirit Array that already had a master?
"It's good that the Palace Master is back! Now we're just waiting for the Palace Master to give the Evil Clan a lesson."
An unknown disciple murmured.
This was also the will of the vast majority of the Langya Heavenly Palace members. It can be said that what calmed Langya Heavenly Palace down after the attack was the absence of Xiao Han, the sect leader, who was waiting for them to lead the counterattack.
Anyway, the continent opposite is the territory of the Extraterrestrial Evil race, so there's no shortage of opponents. Even if we can't reclaim the lost territory, we can't let the Extraterrestrial Evil race have an easy time.
At this moment, Xiao Han had already met Ice Emperor. The commotion and conversation below reached his ears, causing his expression to slightly harden. He asked softly:
"How many powerful figures arrived? Were the losses heavy?"
Upon hearing this, Ice Emperor paused for a moment, then calmly said:
"The losses weren't too severe, and we managed to capture those two Profound Demon Emperor completely."
"Only..."
"Our initial estimate was slightly off, and we accidentally allowed one of the Demon Emperor to break through the Grand Array. Although it wasn't for long, we still lost some disciples and Elder."
"How was the Grand Array breached?" Xiao Han's face darkened completely. If Yang Ling and the others hadn't come, Xiao Han probably would have started beating them up.
The Grand Array has been broken?
Xiao Han had discussed contingency plans with the Ice Emperor beforehand. Considering the Elder's limited strength, he specifically requested that they only hold out against an enemy at the Profound Demon Emperor level for a quarter of an hour, which was quite lenient.
Is that still not enough?
Seeing Xiao Han's unfriendly expression, Ice Emperor, unusually, said a few kind words for the group.
"It's not their fault, we were just unlucky to run into an opponent who was proficient in Spirit Array."
"Do Extraterrestrial Evil race have such people?"
Xiao Han couldn't help but be surprised. Perhaps it was the blessing of Heaven that made the Extraterrestrial Evil race, despite their strange and powerful abilities, have a major flaw—they cannot Spirit Array.
Xiao Han was shocked when he heard Ice Emperor mention "special talent".
"We were lucky this time; at least the person is dead and can't cause harm elsewhere."
Ice Emperor could only console themselves with this thought.
"That's true."
Xiao Han nodded in agreement.
Many defenses in the Great Thousand World rely on the geographical advantages formed by Spirit Array to resist the Extraterrestrial Evil race. Encountering such a powerful figure is quite troublesome.
"But you're in trouble too."
Ice Emperor looked at the crowd below, their tone troubled.
"These kids have been clamoring for revenge, and we're about to lose our temper."
Doesn't he want revenge?
The key issue is that Langya Heavenly Palace's strength doesn't allow it! The Extraterrestrial Evil race is no pushover, and Xiao Han and his two high-level combatants alone are simply not enough.
Xiao Han remained silent for a moment. This matter was indeed difficult to handle. The main members of the Langya Heavenly Palace were almost all former members of the Four Great Spirit Sects. In the short term, the sect divisions still existed. His strength and achievements were only enough to gain the recognition of his disciples, but not enough to eliminate the influence of the past. It was impossible to forcibly suppress everyone's thoughts.
Moreover, he was unwilling to suffer this loss!
But there are more important things to do now.
Where are Yang Ling and the others?
Looking around but not seeing any familiar faces, Xiao Han asked in confusion.
"Of course he's gone into seclusion."
Ice Emperor shook their heads helplessly.
"This was a bit too much of a shock."
Having witnessed firsthand the heavy casualties suffered by the sect due to its own insufficient strength, even with countless objective and fair reasons to exonerate itself, it cannot escape the fact that its strength is weak.
After this battle, Yang Ling and the others immediately handed over their missions and went into seclusion.
"Then I sent the Elder currently in charge of sect affairs to find you."
Ice Emperor knew that Xiao Han wouldn't seek out the Elder without a reason, and understood perfectly.
The brief conversation came to an end. Xiao Han, remembering his initial purpose, pulled the person beside him...
"The most urgent matter is dealing with this kid."
"Taking over a continent is no easy task."
"Take over the mainland?"
Upon hearing this, Ice Emperor's eyes lit up.
"Is he from that continent?"
"Let me introduce myself."
Xiao Han looked at the figure beside him.
"Junior Liu Qingyang of the Heavenly Azure Continent greets Senior."
Liu Qingyang had just overheard the conversation between the Ice Emperor and Xiao Han and learned that Langya Heavenly Palace was in a similar situation to the Heavenly Azure Continent. He felt a sense of empathy for them and had a great deal of goodwill towards the Langya Heavenly Palace. In addition, given Xiao Han's past help to them, he basically decided to lead his subordinates to join them.
Xiao Han happily showed Liu Qingyang's excellence to Ice Emperor:
"Don't underestimate this one."
His talent is no less than mine.
Not inferior to me?
Ice Emperor remained noncommittal. Xiao Han's talent was indeed unparalleled; otherwise, he wouldn't have broken through realms one after another in just a few years.
However, knowing Xiao Han's confidence, he also roughly understood that Liu Qingyang was exceptionally talented; otherwise, he would not have received such praise from the other party. He secretly looked up to Liu Qingyang.
Then, Xiao Han dropped another bombshell.
"Moreover, he is the Plane Master of the Heavenly Azure Continent."
"The Plane Master? Him?"
Ice Emperor's eyes suddenly widened, and then she looked at Liu Qingyang more carefully.
After a long silence, Ice Emperor's voice, filled with doubt, rang out.
"Tell me, what gave you the ability to pull a Plane Master into our sect?"
It's no exaggeration to say that any Lower Plane is an invaluable treasure, especially a continent with Plane Master.
Those who gain recognition from the plane are already incredibly powerful and talented, but with the support of the entire continent, they far surpass ordinary geniuses.
Furthermore, Plane Master essentially possesses the resources of an entire continent, capable of easily establishing a colossus. Such an extraordinary individual would never need to be subordinate to anyone else.
Could it be that Xiao Han's charm has skyrocketed to the point where a mere tremor of his body would cause others to bow down in submission?
Ice Emperor's suspicions didn't last long, as Liu Qingyang answered his questions.
"Senior is too kind. If it weren't for Senior Ice Saint, I and all living beings on the Heavenly Azure Continent would probably have been destroyed. Becoming the Plane Master would have been inseparable from your help."
"Your sect shares similar goals with Tian Lan, so my joining is not unusual."
What's the meaning?
Ice Emperor cast a curious glance at Xiao Han, "Dude, you also saved the world on this trip?"
"Cough cough..."
Xiao Han coughed lightly a few times.
"I'll explain that to you later. Right now, I need to take this kid to the Great Thousand Pavilion. In the meantime, make the necessary arrangements and have the sect prepare."
"Tell them that the Heavenly Azure Continent successfully integrates into the Langya Heavenly Palace will be the day of our revenge."
