Han Tian and his wife had long anticipated this outcome, so they nodded in understanding.
"Were they killed, or did they escape?" Madam Han inquired.
Qin Han Chu replied, "Killed."
Upon hearing this, Madam Han's expression grew even more somber.
"Everyone, you are dismissed. Hantian City has nothing further to do with me from this point on," Han Tian said, addressing the crowd in the square.
Hearing this, the onlookers understood what Hantian City was about to face.
Those who had previously pledged to go through fire and water now fled.
Opposing a family from the Great World was akin to courting death.
Ancestor Shuangji also sent a telepathic message to Lan Yan and Hong Luan, urging them to leave quickly.
Hong Luan looked at Qin Han Chu and said, "Be extra careful. There's not much we can do to help you."
Qin Han Chu smiled, "I understand. You take care too; perhaps we'll meet again in the future."
The two nodded and then departed with Ancestor Shuangji.
"Let's go. I've made arrangements for Hantian City."
As a Xuan King realm expert, Han Tian's important belongings were all stored within the Myriad Realms Treasure Pavilion's storage space, so there was no need to pack.
"Where are we going?" A Xiang asked.
Han Tian and his wife looked at Qin Han Chu, eager to know his plans.
"Come with me. I'll take you somewhere to lie low."
"I also have some matters to clarify."
With that, Qin Han Chu took A Xiang's hand and flew away.
Han Tian and his wife followed closely behind, and the four of them left the place together.
After leaving Hantian City, Qin Han Chu summoned a Xuan Beast of the Xuan Venerable realm.
Riding the Xuan Beast, they directly traversed the Boundless Sea.
Within the Donghua Great World, the Xiao family was merely one among countless families.
Yet, despite this, the Xiao family still had a Xuan Saint level expert as its foundation.
In the Great World, a clan without a Xuan Saint expert was not even considered a proper family.
Young Master Xiao's father was the patriarch of the Xiao family.
In any world, these so-called patriarchs were merely puppets managing trivial affairs.
True powerhouses were preoccupied with cultivation and had no time to manage the messy matters of the clan.
Although merely a puppet managing affairs, the patriarch was the face of the family, hence their strength resided in the second tier.
Young Master Xiao's father was precisely such a martial artist of the Xuan Venerable realm!
In addition to his own strength, the patriarch naturally wielded a certain degree of authority.
Apart from the Xuan Venerables and Xuan Saints within the family, all other clansmen were subject to his command.
It was precisely because of this that Young Master Xiao was so arrogant and overbearing.
Both the Xiao family's territory and its medium-sized world were, in his eyes, his own backyard.
Young Master Xiao never imagined that he would be killed in a medium-sized world.
In the Great World, all families and sects constructed Blood Spirit Towers!
The so-called Blood Spirit Tower was the sacred place for storing the blood spirit lamps of the clansmen.
Those qualified to enter the Blood Spirit Tower were the core members of the family.
Within the Blood Spirit Tower were countless small compartments.
Each small compartment held a blood-colored oil lamp.
At this moment, the blood spirit lamp bearing Young Master Xue's name suddenly extinguished.
As it went out, the Blood Spirit Tower abruptly emitted a black beam of light.
The martial artist guarding the Blood Spirit Tower, witnessing this, rose in shock.
Upon seeing Xue Gongzi's name, his eyes filled with panic.
The young patriarch had been killed!
Despite his panic, the man rushed out of the Blood Spirit Tower and hurried towards the patriarch's location.
A moment later, an enraged roar echoed through the clan.
Not long after, hundreds of Xuan King realm experts and several Xuan Venerable realm experts headed towards the medium-sized world where Qin Han Chu was located.
Leading them was Young Master Xiao's father.
With his son killed, the patriarch father naturally had to personally seek out the enemy.
By the time they arrived at the medium-sized world, Qin Han Chu had already led the Han family through the Boundless Sea and activated the return teleportation array.
The next instant, Qin Han Chu brought the three back to the Ice Lake.
The Ice Lake now lacked its thick ice layer, its cold waters emitting a chilling mist.
"The protector's body has sunk into this Ice Lake. He fled here and died," Qin Han Chu told Madam Han.
"Allowing you to live fulfilled his mission as a protector," Madam Han said.
Qin Han Chu replied, "Let's go. My world of growth is not here; we still need to travel."
Under Qin Han Chu's guidance, the four of them headed towards the teleportation array leading to Blue Star.
Qin Han Chu's return to Blue Star was for refuge, and he also intended to uncover Blue Star's secrets.
Only the Heavenly Dao Spirit of the Great World had the qualification to select the Chosen One.
This indicated that Blue Star must hold its own secrets.
According to North Cold Xuan Emperor, the Chosen One would benefit more from cultivating in their own Great World.
Qin Han Chu wished to investigate secrets while simultaneously strengthening himself.
"Why are the cities here different from ours?"
"What are those things running on the ground and flying in the air? How do they move without elemental propulsion?"
As they flew over a city from high above, A Xiang pointed at the urban landscape and asked.
Qin Han Chu explained, "The martial arts in small worlds are very backward, thus giving rise to technological products. Those running on the ground are cars; they are driven by electricity."
"Technology?" A Xiang was very curious.
During their journey, Qin Han Chu explained the concept of technology to the three.
One day, Qin Han Chu led the three into a world teleportation array.
When they opened their eyes, they had returned to the bottom of the Soul Burial Cliff.
The sudden appearance of Qin Han Chu and the other three startled the guards stationed at the teleportation array.
In an instant, hundreds of people surrounded them.
"Who are you people? Return to your own world immediately!" The guard leader was only a Martial King realm expert, individuals as insignificant as ants in Qin Han Chu's eyes.
Even A Xiang could casually swat these people away.
"I am Qin Han Chu, disciple of Hu Qing Shan."
"Where is Jiu Feng?"
"Jin Hailu, Tang Siwei, Lin Ying. They can all vouch for my identity."
Qin Han Chu stated.
"Go notify Commander Jiu Feng!"
These people were unaware of Hu Qing Shan's true name, but they knew Jiu Feng and the trio of Jin Hailu.
Qin Han Chu's ability to mention their names indicated he was not an enemy.
A moment later, Jiu Feng, wearing a bamboo hat, walked over.
Upon seeing Qin Han Chu, she exclaimed, "You're back!"
"Where are King Shura and my master?"
Qin Han Chu could sense that Jiu Feng's strength had reached the Elemental Battle Saint level.
"At Dragon Gate," Jiu Feng replied after her shock subsided.
"Where are Hailu and the others?"
In this world, Jin Hailu and the others were his friends.
Since he was back, it was only proper to see them.
"They've also gone to Dragon Gate."
Receiving this answer, Qin Han Chu nodded, "I'll go find them."
Jiu Feng hummed in agreement, saying no more.
Under Jiu Feng's command, the guards dispersed.
Qin Han Chu led A Xiang and the other two up Soul Burial Cliff.
However, as soon as they reached Soul Burial Cliff, Han Tian exclaimed, "What's happening? Why is my power draining?"
