Chapter 255 Deal With The Empress! Han Li Travels With Simei! The Death Of Yan Nanxiao! Dumbfounded
Chapter 255: The Deal with the Empress! Han Li Takes Four Beauties on a Trip! Yan Nanxiao's Death! The Dumbfounded White Emperor.
Han Li seemed to be deep in thought.
The White Emperor's pursuit of Empress Huangyue failed, so he shifted his target to Qin Shiyin. Since Qin Shiyin didn't agree, he planned to use force?
Qin Shiyin anticipated this and wanted to escape the predicament, so she approached him, wanting to use his hand to kill the White Emperor. She was willing to be his Dao companion for this.
Han Li estimated that this was what Qin Shiyin meant.
Between the White Emperor and him, Qin Shiyin chose him. She would rather seek refuge under him, enjoying his favor, than let the White Emperor take advantage. Tsk tsk.
It must be his handsome and charming appearance that captured the heart of this Heavenly Sovereign Realm Empress.
The White Emperor is one of the ten supreme beings in the Yuan Kun Realm and the master of the powerful White Emperor City. He is already formidable in terms of strength, and he also has many immortal treasures protecting him. Killing him would be extremely difficult and troublesome.
In the past, Han Li would definitely not agree.
Previously, he needed to lurk and develop quietly, with time on his side. As long as he didn't cause trouble recklessly, he could become stronger by being cautious. There was no need to do such shocking things.
But now, it's different. He wants to take the four beauties on a trip and conveniently deal with the White Emperor while exploring the endless Yuan Kun Realm.
The White Emperor is his enemy, and White Emperor City is a hidden snake lurking in the dark, always wanting to take a bite out of Han Li.
If there's an opportunity, Han Li doesn't mind dealing with the White Emperor, causing further damage to the already weakened White Emperor City.
And now, the opportunity has come.
White Emperor City is currently in a "weakened" state, and the White Emperor would never expect Han Li to make a move against him at this time. Plus, with Qin Shiyin as an insider, this combination should yield great profits.
Han Li's goal is to plunder the rare cultivation resources of White Emperor City, such as immortal qi, immortal stones, immortal medicines, and immortal scriptures. This will not only supplement the lacking foundation of the Holy Mountain but also further weaken White Emperor City, leaving no chance for them to cause trouble.
As for the reactions of other powerful forces, Han Li doesn't really care. As long as he doesn't go overboard, those powerful forces won't join forces to trouble him. At most, they will speak up for White Emperor City, which doesn't bother Han Li.
After all, there were five powerful forces that plundered the White Emperor City's Taibai Immortal Territory in the past. Han Li is just following in their footsteps. It's all the same.
Moreover, this time, Han Li is going out with a famous reputation. He was invited by Qin Shiyin, the Heavenly Sovereign Realm Empress of White Emperor City.
All these thoughts flashed through Han Li's mind, and he made a decision, smiling and saying, "Since you put it that way, Shiyin, I will definitely agree."
Upon hearing Han Li use a more intimate form of address, Qin Shiyin frowned slightly, but then quickly recovered, thinking about their deal.
After a pause, Qin Shiyin continued, "I have some important information here."
Next, Qin Shiyin had a secret conversation with Han Li, a satisfied smile appearing on her face. She said, "I'll be waiting for you in White Emperor City," and then disappeared.
Han Li continued to stand there, his eyes shining with a divine light. Qin Shiyin had revealed many of the core secrets of White Emperor City to him.
As one of the four Heavenly Sovereign Realm Great Emperors of White Emperor City, Qin Shiyin held a very high position and had access to most of the city's secrets. Only the most core secrets were known only to the White Emperor himself.
"I didn't expect the core fragment of the Heaven-defying Jade Talisman to appear. Tsk tsk, the White Emperor is really a good person." Thinking of what Qin Shiyin had just said, Han Li's tone was somewhat gloating.
He already had a fragment of the Heaven-defying Jade Talisman, which he obtained from Lin Xiao, the "Child of Qi Luck."
It had been decades since he obtained this fragment, but due to his low profile at the time, Han Li hadn't had the opportunity to search for the rest.
On one hand, this fragment was not the core fragment and couldn't sense the other fragments. On the other hand, he had gradually obtained many Celestial Immortal and True Immortal treasures, so he wasn't particularly eager for the Heaven-defying Jade Talisman.
Of course, if there was an opportunity, Han Li still wanted to obtain it. After all, it was an unparalleled Celestial Immortal treasure, possessing power comparable to True Immortal treasures. It was similar to the Human Dao Sword, both carrying extremely powerful principles.
Han Li didn't expect the core fragment of the Heaven-defying Jade Talisman to appear in the Fenghu God Continent, but all of this was not important. No matter whose hands the core fragment of the Heaven-defying Jade Talisman was in now, it would eventually fall into Han Li's hands.
As for the White Emperor?
It's just helping him keep it safe.
According to the previous agreement, after Han Li killed the White Emperor and obtained the core fragment of the Creation Jade Talisman, he was supposed to hand it over to Qin Shiyin.
Qin Shiyin said that she also has a fragment of the Creation Jade Talisman, which is what she relied on to rise to power, and she has nothing to hide from Han Li.
Although Qin Shiyin didn't say it, Han Li also understood that this is probably one of the important reasons why Qin Shiyin came to find him. Without Han Li's help, Qin Shiyin would not be able to obtain the core fragment of the Creation Jade Talisman, and she would have to give up the one she has.
In the end, Qin Shiyin is likely to lose everything.
Han Li agreed, but he had one condition: he would only give it to her after Qin Shiyin married him, including the fragment he has in his hand.
Compared to Qin Shiyin, the Heavenly Sovereign Realm Empress, Han Li doesn't value the Creation Jade Talisman that much, even if the combined power of the three fragments may rival that of top-tier Celestial Immortal weapons.
He has many Celestial Immortal weapons, but he only has one Heavenly Sovereign Realm Empress as his Dao companion.
Moreover, isn't Qin Shiyin his?
There's no need to make such a clear distinction.
After regaining his thoughts, Han Li returned to the Chengdao Peak and saw Lutianxiang, Gongsun Yue, Yun Miaoyi, and Jiang Baiye, the four beautiful wives, still enthusiastically chatting. Han Li didn't interrupt, just silently enjoying the harmonious scene.
Looking at beautiful women always brings joy to people's hearts. This may be what they call "a feast for the eyes," especially when it's four stunningly beautiful women.
When the four beautiful wives finally finished their discussion, it was already half an hour later. Han Li didn't know how they had so much to talk about, but he was relieved.
During this time, Han Li arranged the matters of the Chengsheng Mountain and waited for Lutianxiang, Jiang Baiye, Yun Miaoyi, and Gongsun Yue.
"Husband, when are we leaving?" Yun Miaoyi's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Lutianxiang, Jiang Baiye, and Gongsun Yue also looked over, waiting for Han Li to make a decision.
"Of course, we're leaving now," Han Li said with a smile.
"That's great."
"We can finally go out and have a look."
"The Yuankun Domain is vast and has a hundred famous scenic spots. Why don't we visit them all?"
"Let's go, we must see them all."
Upon hearing this, Lutianxiang, Jiang Baiye, Yun Miaoyi, and Gongsun Yue had smiles on their faces and kept talking non-stop.
They were happy to be able to go outside, but they were even happier that Han Li could accompany them.
Han Li waved his hand, and a majestic golden war chariot appeared in the air. It was exquisitely decorated and pulled by nine quasi-emperor-level flood dragons.
The predecessor of this war chariot was the Divine Chariot, which was only a top-grade divine weapon. Later, Han Li used the Creation Stone to evolve it into a top-grade imperial weapon, serving as a means of transportation. The nine flood dragons were also the result of evolution.
Now that they were going out, they naturally needed a means of transportation. Han Li didn't want to fly with his four beautiful wives. Wouldn't it be more enjoyable to ride in a war chariot?
He could also discuss the Dao and explore life with them in the chariot.
"Let's go."
Han Li took the lead and entered the luxurious golden war chariot. The interior space was very large and equipped with various facilities to meet Han Li's various needs. It was extremely luxurious.
Lutianxiang, Jiang Baiye, Yun Miaoyi, and Gongsun Yue looked at each other and also walked in one after another.
Soon, the Divine Chariot broke through the air and disappeared from the top of Chengdao Peak.
The vast land of Fenghu Shen Zhou.
At the Falling Goose Ridge.
Yan Nanxiao flew down and landed on a mountain top, feeling quite good.
He had been traveling from the Black Dragon City of the Great Liang Dynasty to the Purple Moon Holy City for quite some time now, and had long since left the territory of the Great Liang Dynasty.
At this moment, he was within the territory of the Extreme Ice Palace, having just experienced a thrilling battle.
Along the way, with the help of the core fragment of the Heaven-defying Jade Talisman, Yan Nanxiao's aptitude had further improved, and his cultivation had advanced from the sixth level of the Vital Spirit Realm to the early stage of the Soul Refining Realm.
Thinking about the spiritual fruit he had just obtained, Yan Nanxiao's face was filled with a smile.
That spiritual fruit was of great help to a True Person in the Soul Refining Realm, and by refining it, Yan Nanxiao was confident that he could break through to the mid-stage of the Soul Refining Realm within a year.
He had expended quite a few trump cards for this spiritual fruit, using all his abilities. Fortunately, his combat power had greatly increased recently, making him much stronger than an ordinary early-stage Soul Refining Realm cultivator. Otherwise, he would definitely not have been able to snatch the spiritual fruit.
Thinking that the Shen family of Tian Nan City had already set off on their wedding procession, Yan Nanxiao's expression turned somewhat unsightly. But when he thought that the Shen family would also be using the inter-provincial teleportation array in the Purple Moon Holy City, a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.
"Yueqing, wait for me," Yan Nanxiao murmured.
He chose to take the teleportation array in the Purple Moon Holy City because he wanted to see Shen Yueqing for the last time, even if it was just a glance.
As for whether they would meet, Yan Nanxiao knew that the chances were very slim. He was only in the Soul Refining Realm, and his traveling speed was very slow, not to mention the need to avoid various dangers.
On the other hand, the Shen family of Tian Nan City attached great importance to the wedding procession. It was likely that the Divine Origin Realm ancestor would personally escort them, along with several True Martial Realm Martial Kings, traveling in vehicles such as war chariots and cloud ships, making their speed much faster and safer than his.
After thinking for a moment, Yan Nanxiao took out the spiritual fruit and directly consumed it. The violent medicinal power surged within his body, wantonly destroying his meridians, but Yan Nanxiao didn't care at all.
In the next moment, a cool force rushed in, quickly refining all the medicinal power, extracting it into a purer form, and helping Yan Nanxiao break through.
Feeling that his body was in good condition, Yan Nanxiao prepared to leave. He wanted to refine the spiritual fruit while on the road and couldn't afford to waste time here, otherwise he would really miss the opportunity.
Just then, Yan Nanxiao's figure froze, staring blankly ahead, his face showing a mix of confusion, shock, panic, and various other emotions.
A figure appeared in the distant sky and in the next instant arrived at the Falling Goose Ridge, overlooking the slender figure on the mountaintop.
Although the White Emperor's arrival was just a clone and his cultivation was hidden, he was still a Heavenly Sovereign Realm expert. The terrifying gap in life level made Yan Nanxiao extremely uncomfortable.
In his eyes, the White Emperor was boundlessly majestic, radiating boundless imperial light. The magnificent immortal sound came, Yan Nanxiao's gaze became unfocused, his mind occupied. He involuntarily lowered his head, unable to withstand this trace of aura, his legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground, even his forehead touching the ground.
"It's you."
A smile appeared on the White Emperor's face. Following the clues given by Qin Shiyin, he had spent some effort and finally found his target.
A force surged out from the core fragment of the Heaven-defying Jade Talisman and entered Yan Nanxiao's body, barely clearing away the influence, but Yan Nanxiao still couldn't stand up.
"Who are you?"
Yan Nanxiao wanted to raise his head, but couldn't. His forehead, face, back, and so on were covered in sweat, and a great fear spread to his physical body and soul.
"I am the White Emperor."
The White Emperor's indifferent voice resounded between heaven and earth.
In the instant of his arrival, he had concealed this place, and anything that happened here would be impossible for the outside world to know.
"The White Emperor?"
Hearing this, Yan Nanxiao's face showed a look of astonishment and shock, which quickly turned into excitement and eagerness.
He had been planning to go to the White Emperor City to seek apprenticeship and learn from the White Emperor. With the power of the core fragment of the Heaven-defying Jade Talisman, he would surely rise rapidly and become an unparalleled genius in the White Emperor City, attracting the attention of the White Emperor.
At that time, he had the possibility of being accepted as a disciple by the White Emperor, receiving the White Emperor's cultivation, and having an unlimited future.
Once he became a Heavenly Sovereign Realm Emperor, or even a Celestial Immortal, he could join forces with his master, the White Emperor, to confront Han Li and seek revenge.
However, he had only just set off when the White Emperor personally rushed over from the White Emperor City. Could it be that he foresaw the future?
Yan Nanxiao felt that this was very likely.
Although the White Emperor suffered a miserable defeat at the hands of Han Li, he was ultimately the supreme figure at the peak of the Heavenly Sovereign Realm. Perhaps he could glimpse the future.
The White Emperor saw Yan Nanxiao's achievements in the future through the images, so he came early to accept him as a disciple and cultivate him carefully in order to confront Han Li together in the future.
Yan Nanxiao fantasized about a bright future, and for a moment, his fear disappeared. He desperately shouted, "Under the White Emperor's command, I want to become your disciple and am willing to pay any price for it."
Yan Nanxiao was just a fledgling cultivator who didn't yet know how cruel the cultivation world could be. He truly believed that the White Emperor had come to accept him as a disciple.
Otherwise, why would the White Emperor specifically come to find him?
The worst possibility was that he came for the core fragment of the Creation Jade Talisman, but Yan Nanxiao deliberately ignored this thought. The White Emperor was too powerful, and he could only think positively about everything.
After all, if the White Emperor wanted to deal with him, he wouldn't have any power to resist.
"Hahaha~"
Looking at the slender figure who lowered his head respectfully and was extremely obedient, the White Emperor suddenly burst into laughter.
"Then give me your life and the core fragment of the Creation Jade Talisman."
None of Yan Nanxiao's thoughts could escape his notice. In an instant, he peered into all of Yan Nanxiao's memories and thoughts, but the White Emperor didn't care.
Although Yan Nanxiao had a grudge against Han Li and also wanted to confront him, was Yan Nanxiao qualified?
What level was Yan Nanxiao at? He actually had a common enemy with him and wanted to fight alongside him.
It was too troublesome to cultivate Yan Nanxiao, and it would waste time and energy. It was uncertain whether he would grow successfully in the future. It was better to just kill Yan Nanxiao directly and take away the core fragment of the Creation Jade Talisman.
With the core fragment of the Creation Jade Talisman in his hands, he could quickly gather all the fragments, much faster than if they were left in Yan Nanxiao's hands to gather dust.
"No! No! Great White Emperor, you can't do this to me."
Yan Nanxiao was dumbfounded, terror descending upon him, causing him to struggle desperately. He didn't want to die.
He had just obtained an unparalleled opportunity not long ago, with the assistance of the core fragment of the Creation Jade Talisman. In the future, he would at least become a Heavenly Sovereign Realm Emperor. How could he die here?
He still had to ascend the Holy Mountain and challenge Han Li to a duel, reclaiming Shen Youqing, his childhood sweetheart. How could he die?
In this instant, countless thoughts flashed through Yan Nanxiao's mind, filled with endless unwillingness. But under the gaze of the White Emperor, he died, disappearing without any power to resist.
The White Emperor beckoned, took the bronze fragment in his hand to observe it, confirmed its authenticity, and then erased all traces here before returning to the White Emperor City.
With the core fragment of the Creation Jade Talisman, and once he obtained the fragment in Qin Shiyin's hands, he could secretly search for all the fragments of the Creation Jade Talisman.
However, before that, he had one more thing to do, which was to deal with Qin Shiyin.
Compared to completing the transaction, the White Emperor preferred to take advantage without paying the price of a Celestial Immortal. He also wanted Qin Shiyin's body and her fragment of the Creation Jade Talisman.
Regarding this, the White Emperor had already made plans.
However, when the White Emperor's clone returned to the White Emperor City, something unexpected happened.
PS: There will be a second update tonight.
