Immortal Martial Arts: Marry a Wife and Live a Long Life

Chapter 49: I Will Retreat

Tianxuan Mountain, Inner Courtyard.

At this moment, all the inner disciples and core disciples who were still at Tianxuan Mountain had gathered in the central square of the Inner Courtyard. The crowd was bustling, with people gathering in small groups and whispering to each other.

Many disciples who were out on training or on missions had rushed back, wanting to know what major event had occurred at Tianxuan Mountain.

Han Li was among them, standing in the middle of the crowd, trying not to attract attention and conceal his presence.

There were also two or three people around him who were old acquaintances, friends he had made at Tianxuan Mountain before. Although they had broken through to the Sea Opening Realm before him, they were now at the third or fourth level of the Sea Opening Realm, lower in cultivation than him.

Han Li casually chatted with his three friends, and the topic revolved around the recent events at Tianxuan Mountain. Everyone was curious about what could have happened to cause such a commotion at Tianxuan Mountain.

Before long, a figure descended from the sky and landed on the high platform at the front of the square. Standing with hands behind his back, he looked at the crowd below.

"Silence!"

Qiu Shuilin shouted, a powerful aura surging out, instantly covering the entire venue. All the disciples quieted down, focusing their attention on Qiu Shuilin.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Qiu Shuilin's eyes, and then he solemnly said, "I won't waste any more words. I have summoned you all back for an important matter."

"A few years ago, the White Lotus Sect caused chaos in Huozhou, causing great harm to countless lives. Although they were eradicated, there are still remnants hiding in Qingzhou and Huozhou, their whereabouts elusive and difficult to completely eliminate."

When Han Li heard the three words "White Lotus Sect," his brows furrowed, and he quietly retreated behind the crowd.

As he had expected, this major event at Tianxuan Mountain was related to the Martial Ancestor King. Tianxuan Mountain wouldn't take action against the White Lotus Sect for no reason, and they couldn't handle it either.

The Unborn Mother was a Myriad Manifestations Grandmaster, and even the entire Tianxuan Mountain combined wouldn't be a match for her. He didn't want to throw his life away for nothing.

It doesn't matter, I will retreat!

"To completely destroy the White Lotus Sect, Daqian has dispatched the Martial Ancestor King to guard the three provinces. The troops have already been mobilized and will launch the final attack on the Unborn Mother soon," Qiu Shuilin continued.

"If the Unborn Mother manages to escape, no matter which province she flees to, her whereabouts must be determined as soon as possible. You all will go back and mobilize the forces of your respective families to investigate as much as possible. Once any clues are found, report immediately."

The square immediately erupted into a commotion, with voices and discussions filling the air. The disciples had different expressions on their faces.

So it was to deal with the White Lotus Sect. No wonder the sect made such a big move.

Even the Martial Ancestor King, the Great Qian War God, has come. It seems that the Unborn Mother's days are numbered.

If the Martial Ancestor King takes action, even if the Unborn Mother manages to escape, she will be seriously injured. Will there be an opportunity to take advantage of that?

"Han Senior Brother, should we..." a junior named Tu, who was standing where Han Li had been, excitedly began to speak but then realized something was wrong and exclaimed, "Huh, where's Han Senior Brother?"

The other two were slightly stunned as well. Wasn't Han Senior Brother just standing next to them? When did he disappear?

Han Li was gone, but the three of them didn't pay much attention and continued their conversation, planning to inform him after the meeting.

Behind the crowd, Han Li silently watched the scene, pondering Qiu Shuilin's words. He had a rough idea in his mind.

Tianxuan Mountain was trying to reap the benefits without doing the work.

Their words sounded righteous, but if the Unborn Mother managed to escape, they wanted everyone to investigate her whereabouts. It was obvious that they wanted to mobilize the forces of these disciples' families.

The disciples of Tianxuan Mountain came from various families in Leizhou, and if they were mobilized, it would be a significant force. Combined with other sects, it wouldn't be difficult to track the Unborn Mother's whereabouts.

Qiu Shuilin didn't mention any rewards for immediately reporting any clues. It was clear that he wanted to take advantage of the situation.

The Unborn Mother was an extremely dangerous person, and investigating her whereabouts carried great risks. It was easy to be wiped out by her, so who would make the effort without a substantial reward?

If the disciples mobilized their family forces and found the Unborn Mother's whereabouts at great cost, even to the point of being wiped out, but received no reward, no one would do it.

The decision of Tianxuan Mountain coincides with Han Li's thoughts. Even if Tianxuan Mountain asks for a thorough investigation, Han Li will still slack off and will not actually investigate.

The disciples of Tianxuan Mountain who can cultivate the Sea Opening Realm and Vital Spirit Realm are very shrewd. At first, they were somewhat excited, but soon calmed down and understood the implications of Qiu Shuilin's words and knew what to do.

If the Unborn Mother manages to escape to Leizhou, they will naturally investigate, but they don't need to put in much effort. They can just deceive and fool around. If they are really lucky enough to encounter her, they will definitely report it.

On the other side, Tianxuan Peak.

Tianxuan Peak is the main peak of the Tianxuan Mountain Range. The head teacher, his relatives, and his disciples reside here. Important buildings such as the sect's main hall are also located on this peak.

On the top of the peak, two figures stand, overlooking the entire Tianxuan Mountain. One of them is the head teacher, Gong Sunyun, and the other is his daughter, Gong Sunyue.

Gong Sunyun remained silent for a long time before saying, "Yue'er, you should go to the Dao Domain."

"I won't go," Gong Sunyue refused without hesitation.

Gong Sunyun looked at his daughter and said in a deep voice, "Don't be stubborn. You know you must go."

"It's too far," Gong Sunyue looked at him and still refused.

"The Great Qian Dynasty is about to become a gathering place for storms. In the midst of hidden currents, our Tianxuan Mountain is just a small boat that could capsize and sink into the sea at any time, unable to even stir up a wave."

Gong Sunyun didn't try to persuade her further and instead said with a bitter expression on his face.

Only by standing high can one see far. Just like at this moment, he could overlook Tianxuan Mountain. As the head teacher of Tianxuan Mountain and a Grandmaster of the Empty Void Sect, he keenly sensed that the situation was constantly changing.

In this storm, Tianxuan Mountain was too weak to protect itself. Not to mention Tianxuan Mountain, even the Great Qian Dynasty with the True Martial Realm Martial King sitting in power, how could they guarantee their own survival?

As the head teacher of Tianxuan Mountain, he knew many secrets, such as the fact that the founding ancestor of Tianxuan Mountain actually came from the Dao Domain and was a disciple of the Dao Domain's Tai Xuan Sect.

The Dao Domain also has eight major forces: Baiyu Jing, Tianzong, Dizong, Renzong, Tai Xuan Sect, True Martial Sect, Pure Yang Palace, and Longhu Mountain.

Unlike the Xuan Domain, the Dao Domain is unified and belongs to the entire Dao Sect, while Baiyu Jing is the orthodox sect and ancestral land of the Dao Sect.

The other seven sects are nominally affiliated with Baiyu Jing, but in reality, they are all branches that have separated from Baiyu Jing over the course of countless years.

Tai Xuan Sect is very powerful, even stronger than the Great Qian Dynasty. Its requirements for accepting disciples are also very high, but Gong Sunyue's aptitude is not low either. It would be more than enough for her to be accepted into Tai Xuan Sect, not to mention that she is already considered a disciple of Tai Xuan Sect.

Watching his daughter's figure as she descended the mountain, Gong Sunyun's voice sounded in her ears, "Yue'er, think about it carefully."

In any case, he wanted his daughter to leave this whirlpool as soon as possible and be safe in the Dao Domain.

Gong Sunyue paused for a moment and then disappeared in an instant.

Gong Sunyun withdrew his gaze and spread his spiritual awareness, covering the entire Tianxuan Mountain Range.

When his spiritual awareness reached the Inner Court Square, Gong Sunyun happened to see Han Li frowning and retreating, and he also discerned his true cultivation level.
