At this moment, Lu Tianxiang had changed her attire and makeup, resembling a dignified and luxurious middle-aged matron, clad entirely in black with a veil covering her face, right down to her pink, bare feet that were now encased in combat boots.

She was only displaying the cultivation of the Hollow Void Stage, flying at the speed consistent with that stage, and being quite cautious not to pass over the territories of the major factions.

Lu Tianxiang did not wish to reveal herself, as being at the Myriad Phenomena Realm was too conspicuous. If Leizhou harbored any Great Grandmasters of the Myriad Phenomena Realm from Da Qian lying in wait, it was very likely they would detect her.

She was the notorious Mother Wusheng, and if recognized, she would be hunted by Da Qian again, and the foundation she had painstakingly accumulated would have to be abandoned.

But what Mother Wusheng could not contemplate was that the Cultivator of the Gangyuan Realm she mentioned possessed combat ability comparable to that of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, had Spiritual Sense akin to those in the middle to late stages of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, and was constantly covering an area over fifty thousand miles with his Spiritual Sense, having discovered her long ago.

After all, which Great Grandmaster would constantly cover a vast area with their Spiritual Sense? That would be quite taxing on their mental strength.

As Lu Tianxiang traveled, her Spiritual Sense usually only maintained coverage within ten thousand miles, since a wider range consumed more mental strength.

Lu Tianxiang flew thousands of miles forward, then suddenly came to a halt mid-air without advancing further, her eyebrows tightly furrowed.

A hundred miles ahead of her, a person stood atop a mountain peak, with their back to her, hands clasped behind them, also dressed in black.

Her Spiritual Sense stretched forth in an attempt to probe the person’s identity but was blocked by their Spiritual Sense, unable to cover the area at all.

The person posed a considerable threat to her, quite possibly being a Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm. Suddenly appearing ahead, barring her path—could they be coming for her?

Lu Tianxiang considered taking a detour, but no matter how she moved, that person seemed to firmly lock onto her, confirming her suspicion that they had come specifically for her.

Yet, when had she ever offended a Great Grandmaster to the point of having him come to intercept her in the dead of night, and how had her whereabouts been exposed?

Lu Tianxiang surmised that this individual was not an official Great Grandmaster of Da Qian; otherwise, there would be someone else arriving knowing her whereabouts.

Although the individual posed some threat to her, their realm was at best similar to hers; capturing or subduing her was far from their reach.

She, Lu Tianxiang, the celebrated Mother Wusheng, had survived till now despite being hunted by one at the third level and another at the fourth level of the Myriad Phenomena Realm.

“Who are you, sir? Why do you block my path?”

As her thoughts flowed, Lu Tianxiang spoke out, her tone cold and filled with hostility.

She did not know when she had offended this Great Grandmaster, but she still needed to capture Han Li. Having her route blocked by this person was truly vexing.

Han Li was exceedingly cautious. She had only been searching for Qiu Xuan, and yet, like a startled bird, he was ready to move his household and leave Yuanzhou.

If he discovered someone was probing for information about him, he could quite possibly abandon his family and concubines, fleeing alone—in which case, she might not be able to find Han Li again.

Da Qian was vast, and she was the wanted Mother Wusheng. She couldn’t openly look for people. Whatever she did was twice the effort for half the result. If Han Li ran to hide in the Capital City of Da Qian, then she could lose all hope.

“And who might you be?”

A robust voice resonated within the Spirit Realm they had constructed with their Spiritual Sense, allowing them to communicate freely without fear of affecting the outside world.

“I will only say this once, stand aside for me!”

Lu Tianxiang’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, her dignified and luxurious face revealing the severity of her threat, giving even Han Li a moment of alarm.

This Great Grandmaster, coming from who knows where, seemed intent on pursuing his migrating group. Han Li had merely wished to obstruct her path and make her retreat. He hadn’t anticipated her swift turn to murderous intent.

Han Li had already observed the woman carefully. She appeared to possess only the cultivation of the Hollow Void Stage, but in actuality, she was a Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, her stage slightly higher than his, yet their combat abilities should be similar.

His Divine Spirit and Spiritual Sense were much stronger than Lu Tianxiang’s. She could not see through him, but he could see through the strength she concealed.

He did not wish to do battle with a Great Grandmaster, as it could lead to injuries and reduce his strength. He still needed to protect the migrating group and deal with many crises. He had to maintain peak condition; he would rather have the Great Grandmaster back down.

But if the Great Grandmaster refused to heed reason and insisted on proceeding forward, Han Li would not be courteous. Who would win or lose would only be known after the fight.

He had the Body-Cultivating Furnace in his hand, and by consuming high-grade spirit liquid, he could swiftly repair his injuries and engage in attrition battles. Even if wounded, he could recover to his peak condition in a short time. The only downside was the considerable consumption of the high-grade spirit liquid accumulated in the Body-Cultivating Furnace.

This was his trump card, one he wouldn’t use lightly.

All thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and Han Li did not speak. Instead, he prepared in silence. Seeing that Lu Tianxiang was growing impatient, he made his move directly.

Roar!

A dragon’s roar resounded between heaven and earth, shaking all directions, as if to dispel the endless night and return the world to a bright cosmos.

One moment Han Li’s figure vanished from the mountaintop, and the next, he reappeared above Lu Tianxiang. He raised his hand and struck with a palm. A colossal dragon, composed of a vast amount of Gang Yuan blended with the true essence of martial arts, roared toward Lu Tianxiang with killing intent.

When Han Li made a move, he struck with all his power.

As Lu Tianxiang spoke, Han Li had already released the embryonic form of his all-encompassing martial arts true essence. Then, he activated his Vajra Invulnerability protective technique, causing his strength to surge. He still had two hours of invulnerability left under the Vajra state.

With the enhancement from his all-encompassing martial arts, the power of the Vajra Invulnerability protective technique increased significantly, nearly rivaling an Earth-grade superior martial art. Furthermore, Han Li had mastered this technique to perfection, making its power even more formidable.

The Dragon Suppressing Palm was likewise. Enhanced by his all-encompassing martial arts and the divine power of the Vajra Invulnerability technique, its power was almost comparable to an Earth-grade supreme martial art.

This palm strike, delivered from a high position, had astonishing power and immediately left Lu Tianxiang dazed.

She hastily defended, but failed to block it completely, only dissipating about fifty to sixty percent of its power. The remaining force slammed into her delicate body.

Lu Tianxiang was sent flying far away before she could stabilize her figure, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth, her complexion unsightly, with a murderous look covering her beautiful face.

This man has no respect for martial arts ethics!

She was careless and did not dodge!

She also did not want to battle with a Great Grandmaster, as it would expose her identity and attract Da Qian’s pursuit. Especially since Prince Wu’an was particularly furious lately, Lu Tianxiang did not want him personally hunting her down, because then she would undoubtedly be doomed.

Her intention was to intimidate the man, to scare him off so that she could continue on her way.

She hadn’t expected him to attack without a word, dealing a blow that caused her to spit blood profusely. It was utterly detestable.

If she hadn’t defended hastily, that palm strike would have inflicted severe injuries and greatly reduced her strength. Even so, she was still lightly wounded.

As her thoughts flowed, Lu Tianxiang also made her move; there was no room for hesitation at this moment.

She brought her palms together, then separated them, and instantly, star fire bloomed around her. Each flame, shaped like a white lotus, was dazzling, illuminating the night.

Each flame contained her martial arts true essence and was a part of an Earth-grade supreme technique that she had nearly perfected.

“Go!”

With a soft cry from Lu Tianxiang, the sky filled with star fire surged toward Han Li in the sky above. Each flame was powerful enough to extinguish a Grandmaster in the initial stage of the Hollow Void Realm, and now there were thousands, even tens of thousands, of them.

Lu Tianxiang was confident that even a Great Grandmaster would suffer immensely if struck by this attack and would sustain severe injuries.

But in the next instant, her expression changed. Han Li struck with another palm, a ferocious dragon roared forth, crushing countless star flames.

Even though Lu Tianxiang dodged in time, she was still grazed by the residual force, causing much of her clothing to be torn, revealing large areas of her fair skin, which was especially conspicuous in the dark night.

She looked toward Han Li, only to see that the remaining star fire that bombarded him was ground to nothing by the protective qi wall surrounding him.
