“You Yinyang Sect are no saints either.”

Jiang Baiye sneered coldly, unmoved.

She understood Yun Miaoyi very well, having dealt with her many times. Nine and a half out of ten sentences from her mouth were lies.

If Canghai Sect were really collaborating with the Yinyang Sect, the Daqian Empire would be the first to attack and annihilate Canghai Sect; even if the Yinyang Sect did provide some support, once the Daqian Empire was overthrown, Canghai Sect would also perish.

Within the Yinyang Sect territory, all the sects were of the Demon Path, but the strongest only had a Guru in the Void Realm. Once any other sect produced a Grandmaster Wanxiang, there would only be two options: leave their original sect and join the Yinyang Sect, or face destruction.

The Yinyang Sect’s control over its territory was even more stable than that of the Daqian Empire, which was related to the ruthless and unscrupulous style of the Demon Path. The Daqian Empire still had many concerns, while the Yinyang Sect would directly suppress those who did not submit.

Yun Miaoyi smiled seductively, unconcerned, and directly asked, “You’re here to search for the Body-Cultivating Furnace, aren’t you? Have you found any clues?”

“Hehe- Witch, you think I would tell you?”

“Get back to the Yinyang Sect immediately, and stop coveting our sect’s Body-Cultivating Furnace, or I will definitely kill you.”

Jiang Baiye sneered coldly, her longsword behind her seemed eager to move, its sword aura soaring to the sky, as if she would take action the next moment. “Yo, you’ve become quite capable, even thinking of killing me. Can you do it?” Yun Miaoyi stretched out her fair, jade-like hand, made gestures in the air as if pinching Jiang Baiye’s face, and seeing that Jiang Baiye was about to erupt, she immediately blinked away.

Watching Yun Miaoyi leave, Jiang Baiye did not take any action, knowing it would be futile.

Yun Miaoyi was a Core Disciple of the Yinyang Sect, and she was one of the ten great Disciples of Canghai Sect. Both had similar status, and their strength was almost equal.

The two of them had been fighting since the Pihai Realm, and it continued until the God Refining Realm, still evenly matched. Even if she disliked Yun Miaoyi, Jiang Baiye had to admit that this woman had exceptional talent, a true genius who could compete with her.

“This matter concerns our sect’s treasure, so I have to apologize to you,” Jiang Baiye murmured softly, her figure disappearing.

Yun Miaoyi was originally a Disciple of Hehuan Sect, one of the Four Sects of Leizhou, and she had been promoted all the way up until she finally joined the Yinyang Sect, becoming a Core Disciple, well-regarded within the sect.

In the past, when Yun Miaoyi secretly returned to the Daqian Empire to fight her, Jiang Baiye wouldn’t spread the word, to avoid exposing Yun Miaoyi’s identity and getting her hunted down.

The Body-Cultivating Furnace was vital to the sect’s destiny, and must be reclaimed. Yun Miaoyi was there for the Body-Cultivating Furnace too, making her one of Jiang Baiye’s strongest competitors.

She had no choice but to cause some trouble for Yun Miaoyi to hinder her search for the Body-cultivating Furnace.

After returning to Lingjun City,

Han Li just continued to lay low, still pretending to be gravely injured, not seeing any outsiders. He was healing in the backyard of Han Mansion, arranging flowers, playing with jade, eating sweet peaches, etc. He even arranged the flowers and jade into rectangles, circles, and various other shapes to admire.

As a consequence of Han Li deliberately leaking information, a message started to spread.

The old ancestor of the Han Family was invited to a Loose Cultivator gathering not long ago, but was ambushed by despicable Loose Cultivators. Fortunately, he had already cultivated to the fifth level of the Pihai Realm, greatly increasing his strength, and with the assistance of the Li Family patriarch from the manor city, he was barely able to suppress a few thieves.

After the message spread, the manor city also released news confirming the truth of the Han patriarch’s claim, and many even saw the Li Family patriarch personally visit Lingjun City to meet Han Li, the two enjoying a pleasant conversation (in reality, it was to return some Spirit Stones and to casually inquire about purchasing more Lifespan Extension Pills).

Lingjun City was abuzz, even Fengyang Manor felt the shockwaves, as Han Li’s influence greatly increased and he was paid much more attention.

In the past, although Han Li was famous in the Cultivation Realm of Fengyang Manor, it was mostly for the wrong reasons. People’s impression of him included: poor talents, a fluke advancement to Pihai Realm as his lifespan neared its end, exhausted potential, and a penchant for women and taking concubines.

Now, the Cultivation Realm’s impression of Han Li had been refreshed: likely possessed serendipitous fortune, had substantial strength, the future magnate of Fengyang Manor, and still, a penchant for women and taking concubines.

Being able to cultivate to the fifth level of the Pihai Realm in just over a decade, everyone believed that Han Li’s talents must be at the seventh grade. He must have been held back by something in the past. With about ninety years of lifespan remaining, there was a high likelihood he’d cultivate to the ninth level of the Pihai Realm.

With only a few powerhouses in the Gangyuan Realm in Fengyang Manor, they were considered the overlords. Thus, reaching the ninth level of the Pihai Realm would make one a magnate in Fengyang Manor, possessing significant influence in the neighboring manors as well.

Thus, the doorstep of Han Mansion was nearly worn through; families and powers from Fengyang Manor and the neighboring manors sent people, wishing to marry beautiful women to Han Li as concubines.

Han Li’s future prospects were bright and worth investing in. Mainly because other Pihai Realm powerhouses were difficult to deal with; only Han Li was so lustful, frequently taking concubines, making it easy to cling to his powerful coattails, a support to rely on.

The Han Family members were all smiling from ear to ear. Although frequently arranging weddings for the old ancestor was somewhat exhausting, it was worth it.

The higher the old ancestor’s cultivation, the stronger his influence, and their own status, power, and prestige grew along with it. Even the resources for cultivation and worldly wealth provided by the family had risen substantially.

As for these blessings that knocked on his door, Han Li didn’t just accept anyone. The descendants of the Han Family would first screen them, and only then would Han Li personally make his selections.

Han Mansion’s Great Hall,

The newly built great hall was spacious and imposing, lavishly decorated, and capable of accommodating hundreds. Han Li received the blessings in this hall. Old Ancestor Han had accumulated good deeds throughout his life, and taking multiple concubines was the fortune he deserved.

This time there were quite a few blessings, and even after a screening, twelve families remained for Old Ancestor Han to personally review for potential concubinage.

Inside the hall, representatives from the twelve families and powers stood on either side, each led by someone at the Innate Realm, accompanied by a stunningly beautiful young woman. Although some of these women were no longer young, their cultivation was not weak, and with techniques to preserve their youth, their appearances remained like that of young girls.

Clearly, these families understood Old Ancestor Han’s tastes, sending blessings from their own homes.

“Old Ancestor, this is my daughter, Zi Lan, who has long admired you,” said the patriarch of a cultivating family with a respectful tone, giving a signal to the young woman beside him.

Other family heads and sect leaders also spoke in turn, with one message implied in their words: Old Ancestor, kindly take them as your concubines.

Han Li looked at the maidens in the great hall, a flock of charming and beautiful women surpassing standards by a wide margin, showcasing various styles, all like tender blossoms waiting to be picked.

With some young women feeling shy under Han Li’s gaze, lowering their heads, others looked back directly, and some daring ones even closely observed their future husband.

For some of the young women who had reservations, seeing Han Li changed their attitudes. His handsomeness left them spellbound; with high status and great strength, he was simply too perfect to be their husband.

After observing for a while, Han Li waved his hand, and the descendants of the Han Family led the crowd to wait outside the hall.

It didn’t take long for the news to spread throughout Lingjun City and even Fengyang Manor: Old Ancestor Han of the Han Family had started a new round of taking concubines, causing a stir in Fengyang Manor.

Old Ancestor Han’s libertine nature remained unchanged!

This time, Old Ancestor Han intended to take quite a few concubines, each with a remarkable background. In their own powers’ domains, they were considered the most beautiful women, with numerous admirers.

Yet, each willingly became a concubine of Old Ancestor Han, causing countless cultivators to beat their chests in frustration and agony..
