Chapter 1526: Oh My God, Is This World Really This Dangerous?

"... I didn't imagine wrong—this is Ahli's Grandmaster Dama?"

Xu Yan's gaze was dazed, her spirit shaken, unable to contain herself.

"Unless we all saw it wrong."

Song Xueming had calmed considerably; she turned her head and gave Su Han a deep look, saying, "But I feel the chance that we all saw it wrong is far too low."

Xu Yan was stunned by the appearance of Grandmaster Dama, while Song Xueming was stunned by what Grandmaster Dama had said.

Su Han saved the world—during the time we were completing our missions in the Main God Space, what exactly happened in the real world? Another apocalyptic crisis?! Oh my god, if I remember right, the Underground Cavern Crisis only ended not long ago—was this world always this dangerous? "No need to thank me; that was merely a task I had to complete."

Su Han spoke with complete calmness.

Grandmaster Dama shook his head, not believing Su Han's words.

Given Su Han's strength and status, if he didn't want to, who in this world could force him to complete a task? So Grandmaster Dama concluded this could only mean Su Han himself wished to protect the world.

But since Su Han refused to admit it, Grandmaster Dama would not force him to.

After all, Su Han's kindnesses to him, he kept firmly in his heart.

That was enough.

"Young Lady Zhao Linger! Young Lady Xu Yan! And... Young Lady Song Xueming!"

Grandmaster Dama gave the three girls a slight nod, his voice tinged with emotion, "It has been a very long time since our last meeting."

"To see you all grown to this level, I am deeply pleased."

"You are too kind; you once gave us great help as well."

Zhao Linger cast a thoughtful glance at Su Han.

Long ago, Zhao Linger had wondered why, after participating in several Main God Space missions, the state's attitude toward her shifted abruptly from suspicion and surveillance to indulgence and vigorous cultivation.

But now... seeing how Grandmaster Dama treated Su Han, she finally understood why.

"I never expected—I've been under your care since so long ago,"

Zhao Linger let out a bitter laugh, "And saving the world... brother, you never once told me anything about this..."

"I already said it—the Underground Caverns were destroyed by me. Doesn't that count as saving the world?"

Su Han's single sentence shut down all Zhao Linger's doubts: "If I destroyed the Underground Caverns, do you think I wouldn't have had contact with the state?"

Zhao Linger's expression shifted several times before finally nodding.

She would not dwell on this further.

She realized she had no way to refute Su Han's words.

"By the way,"

Zhao Linger suddenly remembered something and said, "You and Grandmaster Dama have things to discuss, right? In that case, I'll take my friends to tour the castle first."

"If you want to listen, staying won't hurt."

Su Han gave Zhao Linger a deep look, pointed at Grandmaster Dama, and smirked, "This guy came here purely to thank me and reconnect.

Nothing urgent—no need to leave."

His purpose had been bluntly exposed, but Grandmaster Dama made no denial, only smiled and rubbed his nose.

"Grandmaster Dama, walk with me for a moment."

Su Han walked slowly ahead.

Grandmaster Dama followed closely behind Su Han.

As for Zhao Linger and the others, they still couldn't suppress their curiosity and trailed after Su Han.

After all, Su Han had already said there was nothing to hide—they had no reason to deliberately avoid listening.

Along the way, Grandmaster Dama reported much intelligence regarding the Undead Catastrophe, even revealing what the state had gained from studying the remains left behind by the Undead Catastrophe, and asked whether Su Han wanted a copy delivered.

Su Han naturally refused.

After all, even if the body of the Undead Catastrophe's master, the Black Dragon King, had come into his hands, he'd treated it as a snack.

The research derived from ordinary Undead Catastrophe skeletons might benefit Huaxia, but would he care? Of course not. Still, though Su Han didn't care, Grandmaster Dama's attitude deeply pleased him.

As they strolled and chatted, Su Han and Grandmaster Dama walked through the castle garden for half an hour.

Half an hour later.

Grandmaster Dama then took his leave.

Su Han made no effort to retain him.

Watching Grandmaster Dama depart from his castle, Su Han turned and fixed his gaze on the three girls behind him, each with a different expression.

"You three—have you satisfied your curiosity thoroughly?"

"Of course!"

Xu Yan's face was calm, but inside she was shaken and bewildered.

From Grandmaster Dama's earlier conversation with Su Han, she had roughly understood the events of the Undead Catastrophe in Jingdu and Su Han's role in it.

More importantly, she clearly heard Grandmaster Dama's words... if Su Han wished, he could take residence in the Huaxia Ten Provinces Grandmaster Residence.

What did that mean? In other words, if Su Han chose to, he could easily become the supreme commander of Huaxia's transcendent practitioners.

The way Su Han calmly refused...

In Xu Yan's eyes, it automatically carried the aura of regarding fame and fortune as dirt—absolutely stunning.

"I thought you were just casually traveling across worlds, hiding your identity as... that Grandmaster of Jianghai City."

Zhao Linger shook her head and complained, "But I never imagined you were the final line of defense for the real world..."

"Brother, you've once again shattered my understanding of you."

Su Han shook his head—saving the real world was only the beginning. Hadn't he saved countless dimensional worlds? Still, though he mentally scoffed, he said nothing further on the matter.

"... Wait...! Grandmaster of Jianghai City?"

Song Xueming caught the key point, staring at Su Han in shock, "Brother Su Han—you're that Grandmaster of Jianghai City?"
