Outside the cave, Han Tian and his wife, along with the strong cultivators of the Wind Demon Sect, were waiting.
Just then, Qin Hanchu and Axiang walked out first.
Seeing them both safe and sound, Han Tian and his wife revealed smiles.
"Father, Mother!"
Axiang walked to Han Tian and his wife's side with a smile.
"Any gains?" Han Tian asked.
Axiang replied dejectedly, "No gains at all, and we almost died in there."
"This is not some ruin, but a powerful individual choosing an heir."
"We thought no one met the requirements, and after falling unconscious, we were inexplicably sent back."
Qin Hanchu said.
While Qin Hanchu and Axiang were speaking, Nangong Yu and the other two walked out with grim expressions.
"Why are there only you three?"
Nangong Yu's grandfather also heard Qin Hanchu and Axiang's words.
When he saw Nangong Yu return, he was clearly relieved.
But then, he felt something was amiss.
Why were only three people walking out, and it seemed like no one was behind them.
Nangong Yu had to recount what had happened.
Upon learning the course of events, the members of the Wind Demon Sect were furious.
That artifact spirit had deceived them!
Not only did they gain nothing, but they also lost hundreds of their core combatants at the Spirit King realm.
"It's already fortunate that those five managed to return."
"Anger is useless."
"Even the slaves and spirit beasts of that person alone are not something we can contend with."
Han Tian said to Nangong Yu's grandfather.
After a brief conversation, the two parties parted ways.
Sitting on Han Tian's spirit beast, the four of them headed back towards Hantian City.
Along the way, Qin Hanchu recounted his experiences inside to Axiang.
Qin Hanchu did not reveal everything.
These were his secrets.
"Rest for a while after we get back, and next month I'll take you back to the Han family." Han Tian said as they neared Hantian City.
"Has the Old Ancestor come out of seclusion?" Axiang asked.
"Yes."
Han Tian was a clansman of the Han family, a hegemonic force on the main continent.
It was precisely because of this connection that forces like Tianque Fortress dared not provoke Hantian City.
Of course, the Han family was merely the overlord of this small world.
When facing forces like the Demon Spirit Mountain, the Han family was merely a subordinate.
"I have to go too?" Qin Hanchu asked.
"Yes, you're going together." the City Lord's wife said.
"I am from the Baili family. If I go to the Han family, will it bring unnecessary trouble to the Han family?"
Qin Hanchu did not want to go to the Han family, which was why he said this.
"If we don't say anything, who will know you are from the Baili family?"
"Just go as Qin Hanchu."
The City Lord's wife said.
Qin Hanchu no longer refused. He nodded in agreement.
"Han Chu and I will go to the Han family by ourselves. We'll consider it training along the way." Axiang said.
"That's fine too. If you encounter danger, remember to show the Han family's token."
Although the Han family's token was not a 'get out of jail free' card, it was enough to make many people wary.
"Then we won't return to Hantian City and will start our journey early." Axiang said to Qin Hanchu.
Qin Hanchu summoned the Snow Eagle, and the two of them flew onto its back.
"Be careful on the road, and don't get entangled with powerful spirit beasts."
The City Lord's wife cautioned.
"Got it." Axiang smiled.
Under Qin Hanchu's command, the Snow Eagle carried the two of them towards another direction.
"Should we send someone to follow them?" Han Tian asked the City Lord's wife.
"It's time she experienced the outside world."
"With Hansu accompanying her, there shouldn't be too many major problems."
The City Lord's wife said.
Han Tian nodded slightly, looking at the departing duo with some worry.
Sitting on the Snow Eagle's back, Qin Hanchu asked, "Do you know the route?"
"Of course. I am a clansman of the Han family, how could I not know the way to the Han family?" Axiang said with a smile.
Three days later, Qin Hanchu and Axiang landed outside a city.
This city was affiliated with the Wind Demon Sect, and its City Lord was a cultivator at the Spirit Saint level.
The reason they entered the city was mainly because they were hungry.
Upon entering a restaurant, they ordered some food.
While eating and chatting, Qin Hanchu and Axiang were quite happy.
But at that moment, a man looked at Axiang and mocked, "Who would have thought that such a fat pig would be liked by someone."
"Watch your mouth."
Although Qin Hanchu knew Axiang's current appearance was a disguise, he still couldn't allow this fellow to insult Axiang.
After all, Axiang was his cousin!
"What? Angry?"
"Can't you find a woman? You even want this kind of woman?"
The youth not only did not shut up but also became even more mocking.
Qin Hanchu stopped wasting words and threw a punch.
Despite the youth's loud boasts, he was actually only at the War God level.
Under Qin Hanchu's fist, the youth was directly sent flying out of the window.
With a loud crash, he landed on the street outside.
Cough cough...
The youth spat out blood and glared at Qin Hanchu in pain, cursing, "You dare to hit me, you're courting death!"
"Still want to be beaten?"
As soon as the words fell, Axiang also made a move.
The youth was completely dominated, and soon his hands and legs were broken.
In this martial world, broken hands and legs were not considered very serious matters; at most, it was just suffering.
The two of them had shown restraint in their actions, not intending to take the youth's life.
The conflict between the three attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
Just then, the City Guard rushed over.
"What's going on? Who dares to cause trouble in the city?"
The City Guard Captain reprimanded.
"Brother, you must avenge me."
Upon seeing the City Guard Captain, the youth who had been beaten into a pig's head cried out.
It was only then that the City Guard Captain recognized that the one being beaten was his own brother.
"You dare to hit my brother, you're courting death!"
"Take them down!"
The City Guard Captain pointed at Qin Hanchu and Axiang and bellowed.
Although these City Guards were only at the War God level, they represented the City Lord's Mansion.
Anyone who dared to resist was essentially going against the City Lord's Mansion.
Generally, no one dared to resist these City Guards.
But these City Guards had met their match today.
"Anyone who wants to be beaten, feel free to come forward." Axiang snorted coldly.
Seeing Axiang's arrogance, the City Guard Captain angrily shouted, "Attack!"
Seeing the captain's order, a group of people charged towards Axiang.
Qin Hanchu stepped forward and directly unleashed the Great Sword Slash!
As soon as the Great Sword Slash was unleashed, the City Guards were frightened and quickly scattered.
They could feel the terrifying power of the Great Sword Slash.
While the City Guards were afraid, the City Guard Captain was not.
"Still daring to resist arrest, you're courting death!" The City Guard Captain hurled a punch, and immense power clashed against the Great Sword Slash.
Explosions erupted everywhere, and waves of energy spread outwards.
The City Guard Captain had thought that Qin Hanchu's Great Sword Slash had been destroyed by his attack.
But to his surprise, the Great Sword Slash directly shattered his counterattack and continued to descend.
"Break again!"
The City Guard Captain was greatly alarmed and quickly threw another punch.
Under this strike, Qin Hanchu's Great Sword Slash was finally dispersed.
However, this single exchange allowed the City Guard Captain to feel Qin Hanchu's power.
