“Then I really must thank you, Daoist Chu,” Han Li said with a slight bow, his manner polite.

Chu Dingqian informed Li Feiyu of the location of The Li Manor, then he disappeared; he needed to go back to the Imperial Palace’s forbidden area to enter seclusion and properly cultivate the Devil Fetus. What happened next would depend on Li Feiyu.

Han Li gazed deeply at the Imperial Palace, a mysterious light shimmering in the depths of his eyes. Was Chu Dingqian’s second life truly Chu Zhenxiong?

If it were all true, then Chu Dingqian’s hasty departure was to prepare for his reincarnation, wasn’t it?

Han Li really wanted to investigate and spy on Chu Zhenxiong’s secrets, but he restrained himself. He knew he shouldn’t harbor such curiosity.

Curiosity could kill not just the cat, but also a man.

No matter what Chu Zhenxiong had in mind, if there indeed were a third life looking to trouble him, then he could easily crush it when the time came.

Three to four hundred years would be more than enough for Han Li to elevate his cultivation to an exceedingly high level. Squeezing an Emperor Wu from the True Martial Realm to death would be as easy as pie, wouldn’t it?

Withdrawing his gaze, Han Li’s figure disappeared from the sky above, and in the next instant, he appeared over The Li Manor.

The Capital City of the Daqian Empire was split into southern and northern cities by an east-west avenue. The southern city was for commoners, while the northern city was the noble district. In the center of the northern city was the Imperial Palace, with the manors of nobility to the east.

The Li Manor was located in the northeast of the Capital City, occupying the best location in this district, centered within the district. It was originally Prince Wu’an’s residence, but now it had become Han Li’s.

This manor was extremely grand and imposing, exuding sheer magnificence. It spanned a vast area and was roughly divided into the front, middle, and rear routes. Within it were numerous palaces and pavilions, with resting hills and turning corners, multiple eaves and columns, painted ceilings, relief sculptures on the steps, red doors, and windows – all forming this splendid residence.

“This manor is really not small,” Han Li remarked, his tone one of surprise. On this matter, Chu Zhenxiong had truly put in a great deal of effort.

This Li Manor alone took up one-twentieth of the northeastern district. It’s worth noting that the Capital City was a massive city that housed over a hundred million people.

“It’s just a bit too deserted.” Han Li sighed softly. It seemed he needed to hasten using this identity to take a wife and concubines, otherwise living here would be too lonely.

In The Li Mansion were numerous servants, including all sorts of maids and guards. The maids were responsible for food, drink, and taking care of the master’s daily life, while the guards were responsible for the security of The Li Manor.

Although he knew Li Feiyu did not need them, Chu Zhenxiong had still arranged for a large number of cultivators with decent cultivation levels to act as guards. The guard leader was at the Initial Stage of the Hollow Void Realm, and there were quite a few cultivators in the God Refining and Gangyuan Realms a well.

Han Li planned to use them for the time being, as he, alone, would not be able to handle many tasks – for instance, organizing a grand wedding banquet would require many hands.

Upon entering The Li Mansion, Han Li’s Spiritual Sense fluctuated slightly, summoning the mansion’s butlers, managers, guard leaders, and so on to come for an audience.

He took a seat at the head of the main hall in The Li Mansion, and after waiting quietly for a while, the butler, managers, leaders, and others arrived, all submissive and respectful.

Seeing them hesitate in silence, Han Li spoke indifferently, “From now on, you may address me as ‘Old Ancestor’.”

“We pay our respects to the Old Ancestor!”

In the main hall, a large group of people bowed in unison, their tone extremely respectful, not daring to be the slightest bit careless.

Before coming here, they had been instructed that The Li Manor was prepared for an Emperor Wu of the True Martial Realm, who would be arriving in a few days, and they would serve the master of The Li Manor from then onwards.

Previously, Han Li’s imposing figure had been deeply etched into their minds, and his command had been thunderous. They all knew that he was a true Emperor Wu of the True Martial Realm.

The future of the Daqian Empire for the next four hundred years would rely on the protection of the master of The Li Manor. They could offend the Daqian ancestors, but they absolutely could not offend the master of The Li Manor.

If they could win the favor of the master of The Li Manor, receive wonderful cultivation techniques, be bestowed with resources, or even be taken on as disciples, it would truly be an ascension to the heavens.

Everyone knew that Chu Zhenxiong, the old ancestor of the Qian Dynasty, would not live much longer. The real support for the Qian Dynasty was the master of The Li Manor.

With a slight lift of his right hand, everyone instinctively straightened their bodies but still kept their heads lowered, listening to the words of the Old Ancestor of The Li Manor.

“Introduce yourselves,” Han Li commanded.

“Yes,” they responded.

Quickly, the group in the main hall introduced themselves one by one, but Han Li only remembered three.

The butler of The Li Manor was named Zhong Shan, at the pinnacle of the God Refining Realm, 368 years old, seeming honest and simple, a man who kept to himself; the leader of the guards was Feng Busui, at the Initial Stage of the Hollow Void Realm, 485 years old, a rugged man, but with careful attention to detail hidden under his rough exterior.

However, it was the Head Maid named Die Yi who caught Han Li’s attention, necessitating a few extra glances. She was at the initial stage of the God Refining Realm, with Fourth Grade aptitude, and was only 154 years old. There was hope for her to advance to the Myriad Phenomena Realm in the future.

Han Li was interested in her, not because of her cultivation, talent, or potential, but mainly because the woman was exceedingly beautiful, with bright eyes and white teeth, autumn water-like pupils, and a gentle disposition, still a virgin, which moved the heart of the Old Ancestor Han Li.

“Chu Zhenxiong really is considerate,” Han Li mused to himself.

When he set conditions for Chu Zhenxiong, the fifth was that due to his cultivation technique, he would occasionally take in some beautiful female cultivators. Chu Zhenxiong agreed readily.

Han Li had not yet taken action, but Chu Zhenxiong had already arranged for a beautiful female cultivator to be sent over. This was really considerate, and of course, it would be even better if she had Fourth Grade aptitude.

“Die Yi, stay behind,” Han Li commanded as he waved his hand. Zhong Shan, Feng Busui, and the others filed out, leaving only Die Yi in the room.

Being scrutinized by a powerful Emperor Wu of the True Martial Realm, she felt somewhat uneasy. Although she had been informed of some situations when she was arranged to join The Li Manor, Die Yi was still nervous.
