Chapter 143: Xiao Han, Who Is About to Travel Far

"What, the great Ice Saint has returned!" Yi Huang sneered repeatedly; if an outsider were to see this scene right now, they might be shocked out of their wits.

That Pavilion Master of the Langya Pavilion, the Ice Saint who is rumored to be incredibly powerful and even capable of forcefully repelling the Soul Hall Hall Master, is now standing motionless with perfect posture,

looking straight ahead without casting a glance to either side.

"That goes without saying; if I don't come home, where else would I go?" As if he did not hear the strangeness in Yi Huang's words, Xiao Han said with a radiant smile.

"I'll let it slide this time, but don't be so reckless next time, daring to go just anywhere;

aren't you afraid of something going wrong?"

Yi Huang seemed very satisfied with Xiao Han's answer,

and after a routine complaint, she gave it no further thought.

"Tell me, how many good things did you get this time?" Soon, Yi Huang's attention shifted again, and she began to ask about Xiao Han's harvest this time.

Currently, she was full of anticipation. According to what Xiao Han said before, he had ransacked nearly ten Dou Sheng powerhouses in one go; there would definitely be no shortage of good things.

What's more, Xiao Han had also carved a piece of meat off the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan; thinking of this, Yi Huang felt even more pleased.

Regarding that bunch of annoying fellows, after this sudden backstabbing by the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, Yi Huang's limited patience had long since been worn away.

"The items are all here." Xiao Han flipped his hand, and a crimson Storage Ring appeared in his palm, engraved with a pattern of ten thousand beasts,

faintly emitting a scorching sensation.

"Good stuff!" Yi Huang's eyes lit up,

her vision filled with golden shapes.

This Storage Ring was of extraordinary quality; if she was not mistaken, it should be that rather famous Red Flame Storage Ring,

a one-of-a-kind existence in the Dou Qi Continent.

Since the Storage Ring used to hold the items was so high-grade,

Yi Huang looked forward to the good things inside even more.

"These are..." Yi Huang only took a slight look,

and was instantly captivated.

"They are all Earth Tier High Grade Dou Techniques and Cultivation Methods!" Yi Huang's beautiful eyes widened suddenly, and she exclaimed.

"There should be more than just these!" Yi Huang calmed down in an instant and said with certainty.

Although the number of these Earth Tier High Grade Cultivation Methods and Dou Techniques was quite terrifying, and could even compare to the Scripture Pavilion of the Langya Pavilion, if one were to say these were worth a pile of Dou Sheng powerhouses, Yi Huang would never believe it.

"This is just the beginning," Xiao Han said with a smile.

"There are also these." As he spoke, Xiao Han took out two more Storage Rings of equally impressive quality, one cyan and one yellow, and handed them over.

"Hiss~"

"So many Medicinal Herbs, you really are a lion opening its mouth wide!" Yi Huang first looked at the items in the cyan Storage Ring and was shocked by the mountain of high-grade Medicinal Herbs piled up inside.

She even saw many of the Medicinal Herbs required for that specific Medicinal Pill formula. Her confidence in completing a certain task grew even stronger.

"This one is specifically left for you few." Xiao Han gestured toward the yellow Storage Ring. Naturally, Xiao Han had already pre-screened the good items.

Many resources suitable for people with extremely close relationships to Xiao Han, such as Yi Huang and Ye Jianxin, had been gathered in one place, including Medicinal Herbs, Dou Techniques, and Medicinal Pills; now it was just right to hand them over to Yi Huang for distribution.

"These are... Ninth Grade Medicinal Pills!" Feeling the energy fluctuations and the medicinal fragrance in the Storage Ring that even the jade bottles could not block, Yi Huang was extremely astonished; this guy could even extort Ninth Grade Medicinal Pills—his level had truly risen!

"And Heaven-Tier Dou Techniques..." Yi Huang could already face this calmly,

it was only a Heaven-Tier Dou Technique,

and it wasn't as if she didn't have any.

However,

when she turned her gaze to a few pieces of jade emitting a bewitching blood-red glow, her expression suddenly became complex, "Demon Phoenix Blood Jade?!"

Yi Huang had imagined her reaction to seeing Demon Phoenix Blood Jade countless times; perhaps it would be excitement, or perhaps disdain, but now that it was here, she only felt full of complexity.

"Why do you want these things? They are useless to us." Yi Huang was not sulking, but stating a fact.

Demon Phoenix Blood Jade was just a special material with a very narrow range of use; apart from members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and certain extremely special Medicinal Pills, it was completely useless. Yi Huang had absolutely no need for such things.

"Those old mangy birds offered these conditions at the time, and I thought I might as well take them all, just in case," Xiao Han said in a flat tone.

"Waste of resources!"

Yi Huang whispered a curse, but the smile at the corner of her mouth could not be suppressed. That offhand remark from back then had actually been remembered by someone until now; how could she not be moved!

"How do you plan to deal with the Soul Hall?" After accepting Xiao Han's spoils, Yi Huang smiled.

"Soul Hall?" Xiao Han pondered for a moment, as if seeking Yi Huang's opinion, "What about you?"

"In my opinion..." Yi Huang drew out her words, "let's maintain the same relationship with the Soul Hall as before. Fight when we should, as long as we control the scale."

A war of Dou Shengs was actually the scene Yi Huang least wanted to see, because no matter how powerful the Langya Pavilion was, it could never compare to the Soul Hall, which had the Soul Clan as its backing.

But for Dou Zuns and those below, such as Dou Zongs, it wouldn't be so troublesome; with the Cultivation Secret Realm and the Gathering Yuan Array, the cultivation speed of the Langya Pavilion's Disciples and Elders far exceeded other forces, and their core combat power formed extremely quickly—if they continued to fight, the Langya Pavilion had no reason to be afraid!

"Great minds think alike!" Xiao Han praised.

Immediately, under Yi Huang's eye-roll, Xiao Han continued: "In a while, the Soul Hall will probably send people over to discuss the terms of a ceasefire. It will be up to you then!"

"A ceasefire agreement?" Yi Huang said in surprise; for both sides, a ceasefire was just a matter of words, but signing a ceasefire agreement was not the same—this would be announced to the entire Central Plains.

This meant that the Soul Hall had completely abandoned the idea of a large-scale attack on the Langya Pavilion and was preparing to switch to covert actions.

As long as the Langya Pavilion could hold steady, this so-called ceasefire agreement, which might become a scrap of paper, would be maintained for a very long time.

"Can we set conditions?" Yi Huang's next words made Xiao Han feel somewhat helpless,

"Hey, don't be too greedy!"

He had already gotten quite a few good things from the Soul Hall this time; if he cut more meat from them, wasn't he afraid they would turn hostile?

"What, where do you want to run off to this time?" Yi Huang said suspiciously.

"I need to go to other continents outside the Central Plains to investigate some things." Xiao Han did not hide his itinerary and said directly.

"Investigate what?" Yi Huang's brows furrowed slightly; the Langya Pavilion also had its own intelligence system in other regions—what kind of matter could it be that required Xiao Han to go in person?

"You should still remember the ruins from back then, right?" Xiao Han said, implying something.

"Does it have something to do with those guys?"

Yi Huang asked with a grave expression. She naturally had a deep impression of the Sealed World that had caused Xiao Han's cultivation to suffer a great loss ten years ago; now that he had just brought it up, she recalled it immediately.

"Yes, there are some bad suspicions that need to be verified."

Xiao Han said; if the Soul Clan and the Evil Clan were truly collaborating, then the Soul Hall, as a subordinate force of the Soul Clan, would certainly have things related to them appear.

After all, Evil Qi was a novel power; apart from the Evil Clan, he and Yun Lei Jing Ling were likely the only ones on the entire continent who could recognize it now. Perhaps because it was too sinister, the Soul Hall did not dare to use it wantonly in the Central Plains.

But outside the Central Plains, there were no such scruples; at most, people would just say the Soul Hall had developed some terrifying methods, but they would not pay it too much mind.

This was a place where everyone swept the snow from their own doorstep and did not care about the frost on their neighbor's roof. No one would pay attention to the life or death of those outside the Central Plains.

"Rest assured, there aren't any experts in those places," Xiao Han comforted her again.

"Fine, I'll let you out for a few more years," Yi Huang said, pouting in displeasure. What he was doing was serious business, and his safety was guaranteed, so she had no reason to stop him.
