Liuli Island, a secluded green-tiled courtyard.
Han Zhangxiang, Ye Xin, Han Wenbin and Han Wenyue were drinking tea and chatting in the stone pavilion. The beast tide had receded for several days. At present, the chance of the monsters making a comeback was not high, but the Righteous Alliance did not dare to let down their guard, and they did not dare to run around. At least Liuli Island was still safe.
After this large-scale beast tide, Han Zhangxiang and Han Wenbin became much closer. After all, they had fought side by side. To be honest, if Han Wenbin and Han Wenyue had not come to support them this time, the Han family would have suffered heavy losses.
"Where is Fellow Daoist Han? I hope he's okay!"
Han Wenyue asked with some concern. Even the fourth-level monsters have been dispatched. If Han Changming encounters a tide of beasts, the chances of survival will be slim.
"No, Changming has good eyesight. He knows the news about the beast tide and will definitely not run around."
Han Zhangxiang said this confidently. He knew very well that Han Changming had been in the inland sea and there was no danger for him.
Han Wenbin already knew that the Han family of Ziyue Island came from Huludao in the inland sea. Judging from Han Zhangxiang's attitude, Han Changming should be in the inland sea.
Han Wenbin did not point it out, and changed the subject: "By the way, where did Brother De Biao go? Why didn't I see him today?"
After going through hardships together, Han Wenbin's name became much more intimate.
They only knew that Han Changming was a third-rank alchemist before, and did not know that Han Debiao was a physical cultivator. During this beast tide, Han Debiao's performance was very eye-catching. He rushed into the beast herd alone and killed all the beasts. He was able to escape unscathed, showing his supernatural power.
The Han family of Jinjiao Island is good at expelling insects and taming beasts, but they do not have any physical cultivation in the Jindan stage.
"Uncle Wu is not here today as he has an appointment with Fairy Liang."
Ye Xin said with a smile that after this beast tide, Han Debiao and Liang Youshan had frequent contacts and they often competed with each other, but Liang Youshan always lost.
It’s strange to say, the more Liang Youshan couldn’t beat Han Debiao, the more she wanted to compete with Han Debiao.
"It looks like it won't be long before we can have a wedding drink."
Han Wenyue joked with a smile.
"Fairy Han, you are joking. It's just a normal interaction."
Han Zhangxiang disagreed. The strength of the Han family and the Liang family was not equal. It was very difficult to let Liang Youshan marry Han Debiao. The Liang family had finally trained a female swordsman in the Jindan stage. How could they allow her to go out? It was like Han Benfu marrying a child from another immortal cultivation family. It was possible for her to marry into the family.
Based on his understanding of Han Debiao, it is impossible for Han Debiao to marry into the wife's family. What's more, Han Debiao only has more contact with Liang Youshan. It is too far-fetched to talk about marriage now.
From an empty valley, bursts of huge roars were heard from time to time, and some red flames could be vaguely seen.
Liang Youshan stood on an open space, looking into the distance.
Han Debiao was fighting with a burly man in a golden shirt. The man in the golden shirt had regular features, fair skin, and a gentle appearance.
Liang Yunlong is the strongest among the Liang family's Jindan cultivators, and is in the late Jindan stage.
Liang Yunlong controlled seven golden flying knives and rushed straight towards Han Debiao. The seven golden flying knives condensed together and turned into a giant golden python, which pounced on Han Debiao.
Han Debiao wielded the spirit-breaking stick, and wherever the stick passed, there was a continuous sound of breaking wind.
The heavy shadows of the sticks hit the golden python, which let out a painful hiss, and its body exploded, turning into seven golden lights and flying backwards. The heavy shadows of the sticks fell from the sky and smashed towards Liang Yunlong with the force of a mountain.
Liang Yunlong reacted quickly. He pinched his fingers and a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared on his body, and he retreated.
Boom!
With a loud bang, heavy stick shadows fell on the ground, and the ground suddenly exploded, leaving a crack over a hundred feet long and dust flying.
Before Liang Yunlong could stand firm, a sound of breaking air was heard, which pierced his eardrums. A huge stick swept over and hit his protective aura accurately.
With a dull sound, Liang Yunlong's protective aura was shattered.
Liang Youshan's expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed, "Friend Han, please show mercy."
The giant stick stopped, less than three inches away from Liang Yunlong's head. Liang Yunlong was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
If it was a life-and-death fight, he would have been dead. Of course, if it was just a sparring match, he still kept his trump card, otherwise it would be hard to say who would win or lose.
"Fellow Daoist Han is very profound. I admire him."
Liang Yunlong smiled heartily, clasped his fists and spoke in a warm tone.
Ziyue Island not only has Han Changming, an alchemist with superb alchemy skills, but also the powerful Han Debiao.
Han Zhangxiang’s strength is not weak either, but that is only relative to ordinary Jindan cultivators. Han Zhangxiang is mainly good at refining weapons.
"Fellow Daoist Liang, you are too kind. You are not weak either. After all, this is just a competition. If it is a life-and-death fight, it is hard to say who will win."
Han Debiao said modestly that what he said was the truth. A sparring match was just a sparring match after all, and it was hard to say whether it was a life-and-death fight.
"Friend Han, there is no need to be modest. Even if we are sparring, it would be difficult to defeat me without real skills."
Liang Yunlong disagreed. If Han Debiao didn't have real skills, there was no way he could defeat him.
"You are tired too, have a cup of tea and take a rest!"
Liang Youshan came out to smooth things over.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the three of them appeared in a red bamboo forest. Looking around, they saw thousands of red spiritual bamboos planted here. There were some flame patterns on the surface of the spiritual bamboos. The fire spiritual energy here was abundant, and the cultivators who practiced fire-attributed exercises could achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Not long after, a simple red bamboo building appeared in front of them.
The bamboo building is simply decorated with bamboo stools, bamboo chairs, bamboo beds, etc. Each piece of furniture is made of fire-type spiritual bamboo.
There was a wooden wind chime hanging at the door. When a breeze blew, the wind chime swayed gently, making a muffled "rustling" sound.
Han Debiao and Liang Yunlong sat down on the bamboo stools, and Liang Youshan took out tea leaves to make tea.
Not long after, Liang Youshan brewed the spiritual tea and came over with some snacks.
The three of them drank tea and chatted.
As they chatted, Liang Yunlong talked about Han Changming and asked with some concern: "Friend Han, your nephew won't be in any danger if he goes out at this time! Do you want us to send someone to pick him up?"
The scale of the beast tide this time is very large. If you encounter a beast tide halfway, the chance of survival is very low. Some monks are trapped on remote deserted islands, and you can send people to pick them up.
During this beast tide, the Righteous Alliance suffered heavy casualties and was in urgent need of various healing elixirs. At this time, an alchemist with superb alchemy skills could play a huge role.
Han Debiao shook his head and said, "I don't know much about Changming's specific situation. I only know that he went out. Fairy Liang went out, and it is impossible for her to specifically tell Brother Liang where she is going!"
He knew very well that Han Changming had been staying in the inland sea!
"From what I know about Changming, he will take good care of himself and will be fine."
In order to dispel Liang Yunlong's concerns, Han Debiao made up a reasonable reason.
During this period, many Jindan cultivators asked him about Han Changming's whereabouts.
"That's good. If Fellow Daoist Han comes back, please let us know. We need your help with something."
Liang Yunlong said sincerely that the Liang family hoped to take this opportunity to win over the Han family and strengthen cooperation. It can be predicted that after this large-scale beast tide, the alchemists will definitely make a fortune.
This beast tide was also a reshuffle of forces, but it was a reshuffle of forces within the Righteous Alliance.
"Hao, if Changming comes back, I will definitely tell him."
Han Debiao agreed. He had said similar things many times.
Liang Yunlong nodded, frowning slightly. He took out a red communication disk from his sleeve and gestured for a while.
"Friend Han, we have something to take care of. We are so sorry."
Liang Yunlong said in an apologetic tone.
"It's okay, we'll talk another day."
Han Debiao stood up to say goodbye, and Liang Youshan personally saw him off.
"Youshan, what do you think of Fellow Daoist Han?"
Liang Yunlong asked.
"Friend Han has great magical powers, is a straightforward person, and does things without delay. This is just my current understanding. If this person can be used by our Liang family, he will definitely be a sharp sword."
Liang Youshan analyzed.
Liang Yunlong smiled slightly and jokingly said, "You think so highly of him, how about taking him as your son-in-law?"
A blush suddenly appeared on Liang Youshan's cheeks, like a ripe apple, very tempting.
"We haven't known each other for long, so I don't know much about him. Besides, he won't be a live-in son-in-law, right?"
Liang Youshan's voice was as soft as a mosquito's.
Liang Yunlong shook his head and thought to himself, "Girls should not be kept at home when they grow up."
"I was joking. Well, our ancestor asked us to go over and discuss the war. If I'm not mistaken, it involves the division of territory and the placement of personnel."
Many forces in the Righteous Alliance suffered heavy losses and will certainly not be able to continue to develop in the outer sea. Some forces can occupy a few more islands and allocate more mortals. The redistribution of interests will certainly be troublesome, and the Liang family will definitely get the lion's share.
Liang Yunlong and Liang Youshan turned into two beams of light and flew towards the conference room, soon disappearing into the sky.
Han Debiao returned to his residence and happened to see Han Wenbin and Han Wenyue leaving.
"Friend Han, please come back another day to taste tea."
Han Zhangxiang said politely and watched Han Wenbin leave.
Back in the courtyard, Han Zhangxiang, Han Debiao and Ye Xin started chatting in the yard.
"Uncle Wu, are you interested in Fairy Liang? I can help. There are some things that are more convenient for us women to do."
Ye Xin said with a smile.
"No, there's nothing between me and her. We didn't have much contact. By the way, clan leader, has Uncle Daojing woken up?"
Han Debiao gave a brief explanation and asked about Han Daojing's situation.
"He has woken up, but his condition is very bad. He is still recuperating. Benfu is taking care of the Dao Mirror. It would be great if Changming was here so he could take a look at him."
Han Zhangxiang sighed and said that after experiencing this incident, Han Zhangxiang realized the importance of Han Changming.
Alchemy is the Han family's weak point, so Han Changming alone took up the banner. Han Benfu has just grown up and is not yet capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility.
"According to the time, my husband will soon be out of retreat. After confirming that the beast tide has receded, I will personally rush back to the Inner Sea to inform my husband! If my husband can rush back to the Inner Sea, he will definitely make a fortune."
Ye Xin suggested that with Han Changming's alchemy skills, he could definitely make a fortune and collect a batch of immortal cultivation resources at the same time.
The escape speed of the foundation-building cultivator was too slow, making communication inconvenient. Ye Xin was also very concerned about Han Changming's movements.
Han Zhangxiang nodded and said, "There is no rush for this matter. I sent someone back to the Inner Sea to inform Changming before the beast tide broke out. Calculating the time, the tribesman who reported the news should have returned to the Inner Sea."
While the Han family was bringing women, children, the elderly and the weak to Haoran City, they also sent people back to the inner city to spread the message.
After chatting for a while, they went back to their rooms to practice.
······
Red Algae Sea, Huludao.
In Qianyang Courtyard, the door of the attic opened and Ye Xue walked out. Her aura was much stronger than before. She was still in the early stage of Jindan, but not far from the middle stage of Jindan.
Han Changming had told her that he would never come out of seclusion until he reached the late stage of Jindan, and he is still in seclusion.
Ye Xue took out the communication disk and contacted Han Daohe to ask about the family's recent situation.
"Ye Xue, De Ling has also come out of confinement. Come to the meeting room when you have time. I have something to tell you."
Han Daohe's tone was gentle.
"Okay, Uncle Daohe, I'll be right there."
Ye Xue agreed, put away the communication disk, and turned into a blue light and flew away.
Not long after, Ye Xue appeared in the conference room. Han Deling was talking to Han Daohe, and both of them looked solemn.
"Uncle Daohe, Aunt Qi, is there an accident in the open sea?"
Ye Xue frowned and asked, the Han family has three Jindan cultivators in the inner sea, as long as they don’t provoke Yuanying cultivators, nothing serious will happen.
"The clan leader sent someone to inform us that a large-scale beast tide may break out in the open sea. He sent someone to inform us that if Changming comes out of seclusion, we should go to the open sea immediately."
Han Deling's tone was heavy. The last time a large-scale beast tide broke out in the open sea was more than ten thousand years ago, and the human race suffered heavy losses. If a large-scale beast tide broke out in the open sea again, the human race would certainly suffer heavy losses.
"What? A large-scale beast tide?"
Ye Xue was surprised. The family had finally made progress in the open sea, but they were going to be beaten back to their original form so quickly
"The clan leader only said it was possible, but didn't tell me the details. Hasn't Changming come out of seclusion yet?"
Han Deling asked, she had practiced hard for decades and was already in the middle stage of Jindan.
Ye Xue shook her head and said, "No, my husband said that unless the family is in demise, he will not come out until he reaches the late Jindan stage."
Because of the long distance and the difficulty in transmitting information, they did not know that the beast tide had ended.
"It's better not to disturb Changming's training. Since the clan leader knows that a large-scale beast tide may break out, he will definitely make a plan to deal with it. We don't need to worry."
Han Daohe analyzed calmly.
Han Deling nodded and said, "That's all we can do. I hope the clan leader and his people will be blessed and everything will be alright! By the way, Uncle Daohe, haven't Duanrong and the others come back yet?"
Han Duanrong is Han Changming's favorite granddaughter. She has entered the foundation-building stage. She initially followed her uncle to hunt monsters, but now she can stand on her own and lead the monster hunting team to hunt monsters at sea.
With a large number of foundation-building pills, the Han family does not have to worry about cultivating foundation-building cultivators. There are thirty-five foundation-building cultivators on Huludao. These are only the clansmen from the inner sea who have reached the foundation-building stage, and do not include clansmen from the outer sea. This is still the result of Han Daohe's control.
Based on the principle of continuous improvement, he carefully selected and focused on cultivating promising talents. Most of the clan members who were able to lay the foundation had desirable qualities. Han Duanrong was a rising star in the Han family and was very outstanding.
