Chapter 12: Space Wormhole

Xiao Zhan left speechless. As for the matter of keeping it secret, he would naturally handle it well without Xiao Han needing to give instructions.

Before Xiao Zhan left, Yi Huang gave him two Eighth-Grade Medicinal Pills—First Origin Pills.

These were Foundation Establishment Pills she gifted upon learning that Xiao Zhan's two children had not yet begun cultivation.

Presumably, with the help of these two pills, the two brothers, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, would not end up still struggling in the Dou Shi realm in their twenties as they did in the original story.

The next day, Xiao Lin returned to the Xiao Clan in the Imperial Capital, travel-worn and weary.

Amidst the envious and puzzled gazes of others, he walked toward Xiao Han's room with the air of one going to his death.

That aura of "placing oneself in a position of death to find life" infected quite a few people.

Three days later, Xiao Lin walked out of the room's door with a joyful expression.

No one knew what had happened inside; they only knew that on the second day, Xiao Zhan had appeared before everyone with a bruised and swollen face.

……

Two more days passed, and by this time, the main members of the Xiao Clan were all gathered at the Xiao Clan Martial Arts Arena.

The current Xiao Clan Leader, Xiao Zhan, displayed astonishing acting skills, sternly and tearfully denouncing the forces that had been taking advantage of their plight during these days.

His words expressed the intense guilt and unwillingness in his heart.

At the same time, he issued the order for the entire clan to withdraw from the Imperial Capital and head to Wutan City, not forgetting to express the ambitious sentiment of "I will definitely return."

This drew laughter from other forces watching from the shadows: "The Xiao Clan still thinks about coming back? It'll be a miracle if they can even make it to Wutan City alive."

And above the Xiao Clan Martial Arts Arena, Xiao Han watched the passionately performing Xiao Zhan with a playful look, laughing as he said:

"Xiao Lin, your son actually has quite a talent for acting!"

"Second Uncle, please stop mocking me." At this moment, Xiao Lin felt extremely awkward regarding Xiao Han's teasing and his own incompetent son's performance.

Looking at his face, due to making another breakthrough, he had changed from a white-haired old man into the appearance of a middle-aged man.

However, compared to Xiao Han, who looked no more than twenty, it was still not enough, which resulted in this scene: a young man lecturing a middle-aged man with the tone of an elder, full of incongruity.

What was shocking was that although these two were less than ten meters above the Martial Arts Arena, not a single person discovered their tracks.

Having seen enough of the show, Xiao Han asked: "How much longer until you reach the peak of the Dou Huang realm?"

Hearing this, Xiao Lin said excitedly: "It will take about another month. This is all thanks to you, Second Uncle; otherwise, my life would have just been like that."

Hearing the flattery, Xiao Han waved his hand indifferently,

unimpressed, "To be so slow and still have the nerve to talk about it."

……

With an elder who is a shining example before me, what can I do?

But then Xiao Han said something that surprised him immensely: "I probably won't be staying in the Xiao Clan for that long. These are two bottles of Break Sect Pills; I'll leave them with you.

If anyone else needs them later, just distribute them. Sigh! For you lot, I, a young man, have worried myself to the bone.

If any accidents happen, contact me. I'm leaving for a few days first."

Then he threw a Teleportation Jade Slip to Xiao Lin, "If something happens, crush it."

Before Xiao Lin could speak, Xiao Han had already vanished.

Looking at the Teleportation Jade Slip and the Break Sect Pills in his hand, he thought of how his Second Uncle, an elder and a great expert of the Saint Realm, still had to run around for the Xiao Clan.

While feeling moved, shame also welled up in his heart; if it weren't for the fact that they were too useless, why would he be so busy, racking his brains for the development of the Xiao Clan?

……

At this moment, the Xiao Han who was "racking his brains" in Xiao Lin's mind was lying on a flat boulder in front of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's cave.

Facing the warm sunlight, with his legs crossed, his eyes were slightly closed. Beside him, a middle-aged, purple-haired brute was serving him,

"Senior, how is this pressure?"

"Mm!"

Xiao Han gave a hum, "Not bad."

Of course, in Xiao Han's eyes, this was merely stealing a moment of leisure amidst his busy schedule; it was absolutely not laziness.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, while pounding his legs, asked Xiao Han to confirm the details:

"Senior, you mentioned last time that you wanted me to protect certain people training in the Magical Beast Mountain Range; to what extent exactly should I do this?"

"Oh, as long as they aren't facing a situation of certain death, it doesn't matter. It's fine to let them suffer some injuries or even serious injuries appropriately, and don't let them know, understand?"

At this time, Xiao Han gave his answer. Although Xiao Han hoped to protect the safety of the Xiao Clan members as much as possible,

it was impossible to let them have it as easy as if they were on a vacation in the Magical Beast Mountain Range; that would only raise a bunch of greenhouse flowers.

Afterward, as if remembering something, Xiao Han handed the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King a Storage Ring,

"These are the rewards for you and the group of Magic Beasts you have under your command.

I won't mention the effects of the Imperial Extreme Pill. The Xuan-tier Advanced Dou Technique—these are all yours.

The rest are Beast Spirit Pills, which can slightly increase the cultivation of Magic Beasts; leave these for your subordinates."

These Beast Spirit Pills were First-Grade Medicinal Pills that Yi Huang had inadvertently dug out from a corner of the inheritance; they were only effective on Magic Beasts, so it was just right to get rid of them.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was so moved he was about to cry; there was no help for it, this senior had even prepared a portion for his subordinates, so what could he do?

As for swallowing them alone, hehe, these pills were not of high grade and were basically useless to him.

But to his subordinates—those first, second, or even third and fourth-tier Magic Beasts—they were still somewhat attractive.

What's more, if he swallowed them alone and angered the senior, what if he decided to replace him?

He could still distinguish the priorities between a one-off deal and a long-term business.

He had originally worried that not allowing them to attack those humans would cause the beasts to be disgruntled, but now, who would dare to be unconvinced?

"I will construct a Space Wormhole in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range that leads directly to the Langya Pavilion in the Central Plains, right inside your cave. You are responsible for guarding this place.

If there are enemies you cannot resolve, notify me immediately."

"Yes."

A Space Wormhole? Confirmed, he is indeed someone he cannot handle.

Although the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King hides in the Magical Beast Mountain Range and does not go out, he is still very clear about where the Central Plains are.

Although he does not know what kind of force the Langya Pavilion is, could a place where this senior exists be bad?

Such a long-distance Space Wormhole is likely not something an ordinary Venerable could achieve; it should be a High-stage Dou Venerate.

……

Xiao Han clapped his hands, stretched, and yawned.

Looking at the pitch-black opening in front of him, Xiao Han nodded with satisfaction.

It will probably be much easier to go to the Xiao Clan through the Space Wormhole in the future. Although he is already a Six-Star Dou Sheng and his speed is not weak, doing this all the time is not a solution.

Thinking again that the strength of the Xiao Clan members is insufficient, "I probably still need to get them a Space Ship."

He looked back and said to the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King standing behind him,

"Guard this well,"

then walked inside.
