Han Ping Departed Once His Work Was Done
"So, the rampant demons in the Xu Kingdom have nothing to do with you."
Han Ping stared into Lady Su's eyes.
Lady Su replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "That's natural. I've been exiled to this Xu Kingdom for two thousand years. If I wanted to raise Human Race, I'm afraid you wouldn't even need to lift a finger. The once-in-a-century Southern Yin Inspector would suppress me. If you don't believe me, just look at my demonic power."
As she finished speaking, she released her demonic power. There was no trace of blood around her, and within that pure demonic power, there was even a light of destiny.
"Um."
Han Ping nodded slightly. "In that case, Fellow Daoist Su, please cleanse all the demons and monsters in the Xu Kingdom."
Lady Su did not refuse. "That's easy. I will issue an edict in a moment to summon all the demons that are wreaking havoc on my Xu Kingdom to the ancestral temple and suppress them one by one. However, I will have to trouble you, fellow Daoist, for this matter. My soul has been suppressed by that demonic dragon for too long, and my cultivation has not yet recovered."
"No problem, I am originally from the Xu Kingdom, and I will not hesitate to slay demons and monsters for the Xu Kingdom."
Han Ping agreed without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Lady Su's face showed a hint of surprise. "Fellow Daoist is actually from my Xu Kingdom? Why have I never heard of you before?"
Han Ping said, "I have been away from home for decades, and apart from me, there are no other cultivators in my family. It's normal that you haven't heard of me."
"I see."
After muttering something, Lady Su said, "Fellow Daoist Han is from my Xu Kingdom. I wonder how I can help you?"
She was a cunning old fox who had lived for thousands of years, so naturally she wouldn't simply think that Han Ping was the kind of cultivator who was wholeheartedly patriotic.
Someone like the other party has long since severed all ties with worldly affairs, so their actions this time must have a purpose.
"You're quite the clever fox."
Han Ping didn't beat around the bush and stated bluntly. "My intention to have my Han family permanently stationed in Haozhou is only nominally under the rule of the Xu Kingdom."
"Can."
Lady Su agreed without hesitation.
If the other party were to seize it by force, there would be no way to stop them. But by ceding a small place like Haozhou, we can gain a powerful ally. Why not?
"Let's begin."
Han Ping said calmly.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment."
As she spoke, Lady Su took out a jade pendant from her storage ring. After she made a hand seal, several Dao Light emitted from the jade pendant and flew towards the horizon.
"The other eight demons should arrive at the ancestral temple before this evening. Please wait a moment, fellow Daoist."
Han Ping didn't speak, but simply stood there quietly waiting.
Several hours later, as the sun set, eight demons carrying Heavenly Demon flew towards the royal city from all directions.
The people and cultivators in the royal city felt a chill run down their spines when they saw the eight Yao Qi.
Even the king of the Xu Kingdom retreated into the palace, not daring to show his face easily.
Soon, eight demons descended in front of the ancestral temple. Before they could even speak, a huge magic seal descended from the sky.
"No!!!"
With a scream, the eight demons perished instantly, leaving only eight demon cores in place.
Han Ping casually took six demon cores and said, "The remaining two are yours. I'm not the kind of person who hoards all the good stuff."
"Thank you, fellow Daoist."
Lady Su spoke, she bowed slightly, but when she looked up, she was shocked to find that the other person had already disappeared.
"It's a pity I didn't get to interact with this person more."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a familiar voice came from not far away. "Ancestor, if you wish to have some interaction with this person, it's quite simple. Just choose a woman with cultivation talent from among your descendants and marry her into the Han family of Haozhou."
Hearing this, Lady Su's eyes lit up. "Huihui, you're getting smarter and smarter. We'll do it your way, but we can't rush it. Summon the King first; I have something to tell him."
"Promise."
After finishing his Temple Keeper Su, turned and left.
When Han Ping returned to the Han residence, it was already night. In addition to the Han siblings and Mandala, there were several other women in the residence, all of whom were homeless people who had been given medicine.
Seeing their pitiful state, Han Xiulin took them home.
Compared to the composure of the Han siblings, these girls were filled with anxiety.
Your great-uncle is back.
Mandala, who had been sitting silently in the main seat, stood up as she spoke.
Upon hearing this, the Han siblings' faces lit up with joy, and they quickly walked out of the hall, followed closely by the girls.
"My lord, you're back."
"Grandson/Granddaughter greets Grandpa Uncle."
No need for formalities.
Han Ping said it casually.
Mandala smiled and asked, "Young master, your trip seems quite easy."
Han Ping nodded slightly. "That old fox from the Su family wasn't the culprit. After I helped her deal with the real culprit, I still needed the title of Yongzhen in Haozhou."
Upon hearing this, everyone present showed expressions of surprise.
Mandala said, "My lord, I have already ordered the food to be prepared. Let's eat and talk."
"Good."
Han Ping then followed the others to their seats.
"Hiss... I never expected there to be so many twists and turns."
After hearing his great-uncle's description Han Xiuyuan subconsciously gasped and exclaimed in amazement.
Han Ping patted him on the shoulder. "Now you know how dangerous cultivation is, right? Do you still want to continue cultivating?"
"Think."
Without a second thought, Han Xiuyuan blurted out that if his great-uncle hadn't cultivated, the Han family wouldn't have achieved its current status, let alone be able to avenge his parents.
Han Ping was very satisfied with the boy's answer, "Good, then starting tomorrow, I will teach you two siblings how to cultivate. If any outstanding talents emerge from the Han family in the future, they can also be sent to my sect for cultivation."
"Grandpa, you still haven't told us which sect you're cultivating in."
Han Xiulin asked cautiously.
She only knew that her great-uncle was very powerful, but she knew nothing about his experiences over the years.
Several little girls nearby also cast curious glances at Han Ping.
Han Ping took a sip of wine and said, "The sect your grandfather belongs to is called the Dao-Seeking Academy, one of the sacred cultivation grounds of the Profound Continent. The Dao-Seeking Academy is too far away for you now. What you need to do now is to focus on cultivation and strengthen my Han family."
As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Han Xiuyuan.
Han Xiuyuan felt a little uncomfortable under Han Ping's gaze and subconsciously asked, "Grandpa, why are you looking at me like that?"
Han Ping said unhurriedly, "I'm thinking, shouldn't you also arrange a few marriages?"
