Urban Invincible Overlord

Three years ago, after that great battle, Han Dachun returned to the Han Family ancestral residence immediately to visit his grandfather, Han Tianxing.

Han Tianxing is the current head of the Han Family, and his cultivation has reached the late-stage Nascent Soul. He holds a significant position in the Central State cultivation world.

Although Han Dachun is a direct descendant of the Han family, due to the early death of his father and the passing of his mother shortly after giving birth to him, he rarely received the attention and resources from his branch of strong cultivators.

If it weren’t for his good fortune, acquiring some opportunities, and having decent cultivation talent, he might not have even stepped into the Core Formation Stage.

On that day, when Han Dachun knelt before his grandfather and truthfully confessed the entire incident, his heart was actually filled with unease.

After all, Han Qianye was also from the direct lineage of the Han family, and his grandfather, Han Tianjiao, was also a late-stage Nascent Soul expert with considerable influence in the clan.

Although Han Qianye didn’t die by his hands, it was because of him that he died. If Han Tianjiao were to hold a grudge and pursue the matter, even being Han Tianxing’s direct grandson, he might not end well.

However, to his surprise, after hearing his account, Han Tianxing not only did not blame him but also fell silent for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, "You said you have a previous acquaintance with Yang Fei, the direct disciple of Wan Daorong from the Shang Qing Sect?"

"Yes, Grandfather." Han Dachun’s heart stirred, and he quickly responded respectfully, "Disciple met Yang in an accident, and we have some ties. If not for Yang’s assistance, disciple would have died at the hands of Han Qianye and those from the Mu Family."

Han Tianxing nodded slightly, a gleam of contemplation in his eyes.

Wan Daorong, the peak master of Shangqing Sect’s Tianshan Peak, was well-known for his excellent character, holding a prestigious position throughout the Southern Domain, respected by all, not to mention being a late stage Peak of Divinity Transformation Realm top-tier expert.

Yang Fei, being Wan Daorong’s direct disciple, naturally held a significant status.

If Han Dachun maintained a good relationship with Yang Fei, receiving care and guidance from him would undeniably be a great benefit for the Han Family.

"You did well," Han Tianxing said solemnly, "That scoundrel Han Qianye colluded with the Mu Family against his own clan. He deserved to die! You need not worry about this matter, I shall handle it."

Han Dachun was elated and hurriedly bowed, saying, "Thank you, Grandfather!"

"However," Han Tianxing turned his tone, "You mentioned Yang Fei doesn’t want to expose his involvement in this matter?"

"Precisely," Han Dachun nodded, "Yang is currently traveling through the Central State and wishes to keep a low profile. He asked me to ensure secrecy, not letting outsiders know he is connected to the disappearance of the Mu Family cultivators."

"Hmm, this matter should indeed not be publicized," Han Tianxing nodded, "Since he doesn’t want to reveal his identity, our Han Family will naturally keep this secret for him. Ensure that Fairy Qingyang also keeps her mouth shut, not to let any information leak out."

"Grandson understands."

Han Tianxing immediately went to see the ancestor in Divinity Transformation Realm who had been in seclusion for years, reporting the matter in full detail.

The ancestor was enraged upon learning that Han Qianye had colluded with the Mu Family to harm his own kin.

"Good for Han Qianye!" The ancestor’s voice echoed throughout the hall, filled with killing intent, "I have long stated that for the Han Family to endure, internal unity is necessary; good competition amongst peers should be cultivated, but malign competition and colluding with outsiders against own kin must be prohibited. Are they taking my words lightly?"

"Please quell your anger, Ancestor," Han Tianxing said respectfully, "The matter has already occurred; probing further is futile. Currently, the most important thing is to ensure the Mu Family doesn’t discover anything or realize the involvement of our Han Family’s descendants."

"Hmm," the ancestor snorted coldly, "I’ll personally oversee the Mu Family’s side. Han Tianjiao’s branch will certainly need some admonishment!"

With the ancestor personally suppressing the matter, Han Qianye’s grandfather, though dissatisfied, effectively restrained the experts of his lineage, prohibiting them from causing any more disturbances.

Thus, the storm that worried Han Dachun didn’t truly happen, being quietly pushed down.

Concurrent with this, Fairy Qingyang received acknowledgment from the Han Family, with Han Tianjiao personally assisting with secret techniques to nurture her damaged Primordial Spirit, and providing regular care over three years.

After three and a half years, Fairy Qingyang’s injuries had greatly improved, though not completely healed, her cultivation had recovered to nearly eighty percent of its peak.

If things proceed smoothly, within thirty years, she could return to her former peak state.

Meanwhile, Han Dachun hadn’t been idle these years either.

Despite suffering minor injuries during that great battle, he recovered quickly. Returning to the family, he focused on cultivation, gradually digesting the sequence of fierce battles he had experienced over the years.

As the saying goes, "There is great terror and opportunity amidst life and death."

Han Dachun had decent talent but previously had been constantly on the move, lacking time for focused cultivation. Now, with the Han Family providing abundant resources and guidance from elders, his cultivation made significant progress.

In just three and a half years, he reached the peak of mid-stage Core Formation.

Han Tianxing, witnessing this, began to place more importance on this grandson, increasing the allocation of cultivation resources to Han Dachun by several times.

Han Dachun naturally sensed the change in the family’s attitude, secretly celebrating.

Simultaneously, he continued worrying about the Mu Family sending experts to investigate the matter.

On that day, when Han Qianye colluded with Mu Family experts to assault him, it was suppressed by the ancestor, but the annihilation of the Mu Family cultivators, including several Core Formation stage experts, surely wouldn’t let the Mu Family rest easily.

Indeed, three and a half years passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, a cultivator wearing a blue robe descended at the entrance of the Han Family’s mountain.

"Mu Family’s Mu Qingchuan, here to meet the Han Family Master!" The elder’s voice spread widely, reverberating across the sky above Han Family’s mountain gate.

Han Tianxing, upon hearing the name "Mu Qingchuan," couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Mu Qingchuan’s cultivation was already middle stage Nascent Soul, holding a significant position in the Mu Family. His personal arrival was undoubtedly for the missing Mu Family cultivator team.

Though aware of the underlying issue, he had to greet him politely with the Mu Family’s overall strength being far superior to the Han Family, Han Tianxing didn’t dare act presumptuously, and personally welcomed him.

Shortly after, Mu Qingchuan was guided into the Han Family’s grand hall for discussions.

After the two took their seats as host and guest, and after the serving maids offered spiritual tea, Han Tianxing asked, "May I know the purpose of Qingchuan Taoist friend’s visit today?"

Mu Qingchuan, not adhering to formalities, directly replied, "Han Family Master, to be honest, my visit is to investigate the disappearance of a Mu Family cultivator team."

"Oh?" Han Tianxing feigned surprise, "People from the Mu Family have gone missing? That is indeed rare. For a power as extensive as the Mu Family in Lannan Domain, dare anyone lay hands on Mu Family members?"

"Humph!" Mu Qingchuan snorted coldly, "That team included several Core Formation stage experts, led by elite disciples from my Mu Family exploring a relic in Central State. Unexpectedly, they went without return, even their life soul lamps extinguished simultaneously."

"Such a thing happened?" Han Tianxing said gravely.

Mu Qingchuan stared into Han Tianxing’s eyes, "According to my investigation, the site of the relic is not far from the Han Family. Doesn’t the Han Family Master have any news these past years?"

Upon hearing this, Han Tianxing’s expression immediately darkened, "Is Qingchuan Taoist friend suspecting my Han Family?"

"The Han Family Master misunderstands." Mu Qingchuan quickly shook his head, "I’m merely stating facts. After all, the relic is quite close to Han Family’s territory. If Han Family claims total ignorance, it seems hardly believable, right?"
