While the three Holy Lands were trying to take the inheritance that Taichu Path left behind, Yan Han became a thorn in their sides. As long as Yan Han was still alive, he would've always been a threat to the Holy Lands.
After all, Yan Han was too amazing. He had been unable to fight back against Lu Xuan, losing his aura as a strong expert.
However, this did not mean that the higher-ups of the Holy Lands would forget the existence of Yan Han.
Lu Xuan couldn't find Yan Han, but the Holy Lands could easily find anyone that they wanted.
Once Yan Han was quickly found, a fierce chase began.
At first, Yan Han had fled everywhere. Having almost been killed, he dragged his badly injured body all around the place.
In the end, he sacrificed his last Guardian who had stayed behind to block the pursuers. That allowed Yan Han to escape.
