Instigating

Ling Han insisted on staying here, so the Karmic Life Heavenly Venerable and the others did not persuade him further, and left.

Even if Ling Han guessed correctly, and the balance between the three great Heavenly Venerates would be broken when a fourth Fourth Tier Heavenly Venerate arrived, Ling Han would be the only one that could take hold of that fleeting instant. Otherwise, someone with the strength of a First Tier or Second Tier Heavenly Venerate would only be instantly killed by a Fourth Tier.

Ling Han's companions left, hoping that there wasn't anybody as overbearing as these blocking the entrance in the other three palaces.

Ling Han waited patiently. In any case, he was not wasting time, as he was presently modifying the Fists of Fury.
