Han Tian and his wife were reasonable people. They knew Qin Hanchu didn't want to elaborate on the specifics, so they didn't press him.
With the Savage Golden Ape guarding them, the Han family would never dare to cause trouble.
As the four returned to Hantian City, news of the Han Family Fort incident was already being spread by various merchant guilds like the Myriad Realms Pavilion.
These merchant guilds all had their own communication channels.
Within a few short days, the Han Family Fort incident had spread throughout the main continent.
The Wind Demon Sect.
When Nangong Yu learned that Qin Hanchu could summon the Savage Golden Ape, she immediately sensed something was amiss.
The Savage Golden Ape in the Profound King realm, wasn't that the one in the ruins?
She believed that Qin Hanchu must have obtained a powerful legacy.
That ancient book, a top-tier spiritual artifact, must be in Qin Hanchu's possession.
As long as he controlled that ancient book, he could activate the teleportation array.
Upon realizing this, she immediately informed her grandfather.
Upon hearing this, Ancestor Nangong took Nangong Yu to Hantian City.
As soon as Qin Hanchu and the other three returned to Hantian City, a Spiritual Saint powerhouse from the City Lord's mansion said, "City Lord, Ancestor Nangong has been here for many days."
Han Tian said to Qin Hanchu, "Is he here for the ruins?"
Qin Hanchu smiled, "He'll need to be able to defeat Xiao Jin to have the right to negotiate."
Han Tian chuckled, "Even the entire Wind Demon Sect is no match for someone in the Profound King realm."
"Then there's nothing to worry about."
At this time, the Savage Golden Ape was still by Qin Hanchu's side.
Since it had already been exposed, there was no need to continue hiding.
Besides, the Savage Golden Ape could shrink its body, so it wasn't inconvenient.
As the four entered the City Lord's mansion, Ancestor Nangong, with Nangong Yu, walked towards them.
Seeing the Savage Golden Ape behind Qin Hanchu, Nangong Yu secretly transmitted a message to her grandfather, "This is the Profound King realm Xuan Beast from the ruins."
"Fellow Daoist Nangong, thank you for waiting," Han Tian said with a smile.
Ancestor Nangong chuckled, "It is I who have intruded and disturbed you."
"Please, come inside."
Under the City Lord's wife's invitation, everyone walked into the main hall.
"Fellow Daoist Nangong, for what purpose do you seek me?" Han Tian asked knowingly.
"Fellow Daoist Han, it was our Wind Demon Sect that allowed your daughter and son-in-law to enter the ruins."
"Since he has obtained the legacy of the ruins, shouldn't he share some benefits with our Wind Demon Sect?"
Ancestor Nangong cut straight to the chase, demanding benefits.
Mrs. Han smiled, "Fellow Daoist Nangong, have you forgotten something? My daughter and son-in-law's spots were exchanged for by us with a thousand high-grade spiritual herbs."
Ancestor Nangong's expression was a little awkward. He said, "We are not asking for it for free. We can use resources to purchase resources from the ruins."
"I cannot make this decision, as the ruins belong to Hanchu," Han Tian said.
"Young friend Qin, you are only at the Spirit King realm."
"There should be many resources in the ruins that you cannot use."
"Why not sell them to us," Ancestor Nangong said to Qin Hanchu.
"Within the ruins, your granddaughter mobilized a large number of disciples to hunt me and Axiang."
"Do you think I would negotiate with an enemy?"
"To put it bluntly, the only reason I didn't kill Nangong Yu was because I was considering my father-in-law's feelings."
Qin Hanchu had not forgotten what Nangong Yu had done.
The only reason he hadn't killed her before was to avoid revealing that he had obtained the ruins.
If he had known that his exposure would come so soon, he would have killed Nangong Yu.
Ancestor Nangong and Nangong Yu were surprised by Qin Hanchu's directness.
For a moment, neither of them knew what to say.
"Is what he says true?" Ancestor Nangong asked Nangong Yu.
"He's slandering me. How could I have tried to kill Axiang?" Nangong Yu hastily denied.
Qin Hanchu smiled, "Whether it's true or not doesn't matter. In any case, your Wind Demon Sect will not get any resources from me."
Seeing Qin Hanchu's resolve, Ancestor Nangong was very frustrated.
However, considering Qin Hanchu's current strength, Ancestor Nangong dared not show his anger.
According to Nangong Yu's account, there was more than just one Savage Golden Ape in the ruins.
Besides the Savage Golden Ape, there were several other cultivators in the Profound King realm.
In this world, just one Profound King realm expert was enough to become a overlord.
Yet, Qin Hanchu had several Profound King realm experts behind him. This was definitely not something the Wind Demon Sect could provoke.
If they fell out, the Savage Golden Ape behind Qin Hanchu could annihilate the entire Wind Demon Sect.
"If that is true, I apologize on behalf of my granddaughter," Ancestor Nangong said.
"There's no need. You may leave," Qin Hanchu said.
Ancestor Nangong looked at Han Tian, who remained silent.
His personal relationship with Ancestor Nangong was only good on the surface.
In the martial world, only kinship and love could be considered relatively firm.
"Farewell." Ancestor Nangong had intended to purchase Profound King realm martial arts and resources, but he never expected his granddaughter to have attempted to kill Qin Hanchu and his companions.
If he had known this earlier, Ancestor Nangong would never have come to embarrass himself.
Although Nangong Yu harbored hatred in her heart, she dared not show it.
Qin Hanchu's current strength was not something she could provoke.
If she angered Qin Hanchu, even her grandfather couldn't save her life.
In the following days, Qin Hanchu began to cultivate in seclusion within the City Lord's mansion.
With the help of the Heavenly Soul Flower, he could attempt to break through to the Spirit Venerable realm.
Once he reached the Spirit Venerable realm, his combat power would be even stronger.
Before entering seclusion, Qin Hanchu found three suitable cultivation techniques for Han Tian and the other two from the ruins.
The cultivation techniques in the ruins were high-level techniques from the great world, which would greatly help the three of them improve their strength.
Time flew by, and five months had passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, over a dozen Profound King realm experts arrived at the peak of Sky Pillar Mountain.
These Profound King realm experts were all ancestors of overlord-level forces on the main continent.
They had gathered here with Qin Hanchu as their target.
Ever since they learned that Qin Hanchu possessed a Profound King realm Xuan Beast, these forces had begun investigating Qin Hanchu.
During this period, they learned the truth of the matter from Ancestor Nangong.
To destroy Qin Hanchu, Ancestor Nangong falsely claimed that there were multiple mid-grade Profound Artifacts in the ruins.
These Profound King realm experts, while high and mighty in this world, were all paupers in larger worlds.
In fact, among so many Profound King realm experts, only one or two possessed Profound Artifacts.
Upon learning that Qin Hanchu possessed multiple mid-grade Profound Artifacts, how could these people sit still?
To succeed, they united and intended to seize the mid-grade Profound Artifacts from Qin Hanchu.
On Sky Pillar Mountain, the group held a meeting.
After reaching a consensus, twelve Profound King realm experts simultaneously flew towards Hantian City.
A month later, these twelve individuals landed directly at the City Lord's mansion.
When Han Tian and his wife saw these twelve individuals, their expressions became extremely flustered.
These were twelve Profound Kings. Even if Qin Hanchu had multiple Profound King realm servants, it would be difficult for them to be a match for these people.
"Qin Hanchu, come out and meet us!" Han Family Ancestor ignored Han Tian and his wife, his voice echoing through every corner of the City Lord's mansion.
