BTTH: Chapters 8-15

Chapter 8 Book Collection Pavilion

...

"Feng'er, are you sure that he saw that wild animal?" In a magnificent room, a middle-aged beautiful woman dressed in brocade dignifiedly sat on the bed and asked the 6-year-old boy who was standing in the centre of the room.

"Mother, child is sure that Uncle Xiao Luo saw it. Father not only met and talked to Hun Han, but he also hugged him!" Hun Feng answered the middle-aged beautiful woman.

"What a good Hun Han, he is worthy of the surname Hun, he is a wild animal! A wild animal!" the middle-aged beautiful woman scolded sharply.

Looking at the gloomy appearance of the middle-aged beautiful woman, Hun Feng was stunned, he did not understand why his mother was so irritable today.

The middle-aged beautiful woman calmed down after she realised her gaffe. While looking at Hun Feng, she asked: "Did your Uncle Xiao Luo hear what they talked about?"

Hun Feng replied respectfully: "No. Although the door was open at the time, due to the distance between him and them, Xiao Luo Uncle did not hear what they said."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged beautiful woman frowned: "Really?"

Although Hun Feng is only 6 years old, he understands the mind of the middle-aged beautiful woman before him, he added: "Mother, do not worry, Uncle Xiao Luo recorded how long they talked. According to Uncle Xiao Luo, father did not talk long with Hun Han, he probably did not say anything important to him!"

The middle-aged beautiful woman replied without thinking: "You cannot take him lightly."

"Mother!"

Hun Feng looked at the middle-aged beautiful woman, curling his lips, he said proudly: "Actually, you do not need to care too much about him. Even though he may have a strong Dou Di Bloodline, he also has the Dou Di Bloodline of the Xiao Clan. If he wants to become the Hun Clan's Patriarch, there will be a lot of opposition in the Clan! What is more, he is still only a Dou Zhi Qi right now. While I am a 2 Star Dou Zhe! Tomorrow is also the day that he leaves the Imperial Capital!"

The middle-aged beautiful woman reminded: "You still cannot take him lightly. Any child your father has is your competitor."

Hun Feng nodded, "Child understands."

The middle-aged beautiful woman paused, her eyebrows remained furrowed, her eyes flashed with a dark light: "No, I am still worried about that wild animal. Since he is leaving tomorrow; I will make sure he does not even think about returning. After 6 years, finally, this day has arrived!"

Hearing this, Hun Feng was shocked, he said: "Mother, do not do anything you should not!"

The middle-aged beautiful woman pouted. Though she chuckled evilly afterwards: "Do not worry, your mother is not that stupid. Naturally, this kind of dirty matter must be taken care of by others. It just so happens that in this Imperial Capital, I am not the only one who hates that animal."

...

For a superpower to endure the test of time, in addition to fresh blood, it also needs unique high-level techniques.

The Hun Clan, as one of the Eight Ancient Clans, has the most numerous, the most types, and the most versatile techniques in the Dou Qi Continent.

The Book Collection Pavilion is one of the forbidden areas of the Hun Clan.

To guard against intruders, the Book Collection Pavilion was not built in the Imperial Capital, but a mysterious location known only to the upper strata of the Hun Clan.

There is a place in the Hun Clan with a formation that can transport one to the Book Collection Pavilion.

At this time, fifty-sixty 6-year-old children had been waiting for a long time to enter the Pavilion. These 6-year-olds each had a Bloodline at or above Grade 5 and a Cultivation Base at or above 7 Star Dou Zhi Qi.

In another place in the Hun Clan's Imperial Capital, were Hun Clan children who did not meet the requirements, they have already bid farewell to their parents one after another and had been transported to govern a Town, Region, City or to join the Army.

"Grand Elder!"

"Grand Elder!"

"Grand Elder!"

...

The whispers all stopped when a black-robed old man appeared, all the children saluted the old man very respectfully one after the other.

"Hm."

The old man in the black robe waved his hand, creating a strong wind that lifted all the children.

"Huh, Hun Han!"

"Why is he here?"

"Didn't he fail to meet the requirements?"

When these children raised their heads, they noticed that behind the old man, was a person who was the same age as them. That person was Hun Han.

"Could it be..."

Regarding this, Hun Feng became thoughtful. He was intelligent by nature, and he had already guessed the reason why he was here.

The Elder's eyes gathered all of the children, he explained: "The Patriarch has ordered, that although his son, Hun Han's Cultivation Base may not have reached the requirement, his Bloodline has, thus, an exception has been made. Hun Han can enter the Book Collection Pavilion and choose a Dou Qi Technique. After doing so, he will immediately leave the Imperial Capital, go to a region and govern it for the Clan!"

Hu~

"I thought he could stay?"

"Yes, I thought that as well, who knew that I would be wrong. Unexpectedly, the Patriarch still does not like him."

"After such a long time, he still has to leave the Imperial Capital. I heard that he kneeled in front of the Palace all day yesterday, was it just to enter the Book Collection Pavilion?"

Some children began to whisper.

Hun Feng's expression returned to normal, he inwardly muttered: "Turns out that this is what you obtained from father yesterday. However, do you think that after entering the Book Collection Pavilion and obtaining a high-level Technique, you will have a chance to return? Humph, naive! My mother has already begun to act!!

"Well, everyone, be quiet. Those who make noise will have their qualification to enter the Book Collection Pavilion stripped."

The Grand Elder of the Hun Clan is worthy of being the Grand Elder, with a few words, the children shut their mouths obediently, even Hun Feng did not dare to say anything.

Immediately, the Hun Clan Grand Elder touched his ring, flicked his finger, and took out a dark token.

It is unknown what material the token is made of, but there are obscure runes on it. Despite being beneath the sun's rays, the token did not reflect the sun's rays, it was as if it had swallowed it.

"Dark Soul Order!" A child blurted out.

"Dark Soul Order!"

Hun Han looked at the token, as the Thirteenth Son of Hun Tian Di, Hun Han also knew something about the Dark Soul Order.

Rumour has it that if you want to enter the Book Collection Pavilion, you can only rely on the Dark Soul Order. As for the Dark Soul Order, there is only one, and it was usually in the Patriarch's possession. Only when the Book Collection Pavilion is opened, would it be temporarily given to the Grand Elder to use.

Moreover, with regard to the Dark Soul Order, it is said that it is also related to another forbidden land of the Hun Clan. However, since he does not want to stay in the Hun Clan, why would he care about the Clan's forbidden land? Besides, it is unknown where the forbidden land is, nor its purpose.

Anyway, Hun Han did not care anymore. As soon as he finishes Signing In at the Book Collection Pavilion, he and his Aunt Qin Lan will leave the Hun Clan Realm. He does not care about the disaster that will strike this Clan in the future, nor does he want to become part of Hun Tian Di's sacrifice and a stepping stone to the Dou Di Stage.

"Everyone enter the formation!" The Grand Elder commanded.

Hearing him, all the children stepped into the formation.

The Grand Elder then used the Dark Soul Order in his hand, he made complicated handprints and hand signs before utilising a strand of Dou Qi to penetrate the Dark Soul Order. Afterwards, the Dark Soul Order shook slightly, it started producing ripples of energy. Under the influence of these energy ripples, the formation on the ground lit up with a dazzling light. Then the formation flashed, and everyone disappeared.

Chapter 9 Almighty All-Rounder Attributes

After stepping into the teleportation formation, everyone's vision darkened, and a strong force sucked their bodies. When they opened their eyes, they were completely shocked by the scene in front of them.

Currently, in front of Hun Han and the others, appeared a large Pavilion occupying an area of over a million square meters. From a distance, it looked like the Pavilion was a City rising from the ground. The Pavilion was built simple and did not have fancy architecture. An extremely old plaque hung above its main entrance. After endless years, the three words on the plaque had eroded, yet they could still tell what was written there!

Book Collection Pavilion!

The ancient writing looked like dragons and phoenixes dancing, although the words have been eroded by time, they still contained a primitive artistic conception. If a person stared at it for a long time, they would feel dizzy.

Indeed, it was worth the pride and power the Hun Clan had, even a plaque is extraordinary.

Outside the Book Collection Pavilion, there is a colourful streamer, no tree, earth or rock could cross this streamer and touch the Book Collection Pavilion.

What does this show?

It shows that the Book Collection Pavilion, one of the forbidden areas of the Hun Clan, exists alone in an Independent Realm.

Hun Han looked into the distance, he was secretly rejoicing while gazing at the Book Collection Pavilion, he rejoiced that he took the risk and acted well, otherwise, even if he searched for this Realm on his own, it is likely he would not find it and therefore, he would be unable to complete the Location Sign In Mission at the Book Collection Pavilion.

"Hahaha, finally my second Location Sign In Mission is about to be completed!" Hun Han was overjoyed, he felt excited, the rate of his heartbeat showed this.

Hun Han had not forgotten that when he completed the Location Sign In Mission for the first time, he had awakened a Saint Grade Bloodline. In other words, the rewards for Location Sign In Mission are very rich.

Now that he is about to complete his second Location Sign In Mission, how could he not be excited for the reward he will obtain?

The Grand Elder led the children and walked slowly towards the Book Collection Pavilion. While around 30 metres away from the Pavilion, he stopped and faced the lines of children behind him, he said: "Seniors, these children have qualified to enter the Book Collection Pavilion, I ask that the two seniors open the path!"

Seniors?

If he, the Grand Elder calls these people seniors, then how old are they?

The voice of the Grand Elder lingered in the Independent Realm for a long time.

The voice of the Elder who was waiting fell, and two figures appeared at the entrance of the Book Collection Pavilion. Previously, there was no one there, yet now, two people seemed to have appeared out of thin air right before their very eyes.

"Come in!"

One of the seniors waved his hand, he ripped an entrance in front of Hun Han and the others. Ripples appeared in space before the ripples formed a small gate that would allow someone in, one person at a time.

Upon seeing this, the Grand Elder stepped in, followed by Hun Han and the others.

"With so many layers of defence, I'm afraid no one can break into this place!" Hun Han admired secretly.

Even if someone obtained the Dark Soul Order and they appeared before this Independent Realm. If they wanted to enter the Book Collection Pavilion, they would inevitably alarm the enchantment, the Space Lock outside the Pavilion.

Once the person forcibly breaks the barrier, it will alarm the Hun Clan experts guarding here. You could say that it is harder to infiltrate the Book Collection Pavilion of the Hun Clan than to fly.

"Regarding the rules of Book Collection Pavilion, I will mention them again. Listen carefully, you can only enter the Pavilion that matches your Attributes. Each person can only obtain one item from inside, nothing more than that. Two hours later, even If you have not obtained something, you must come out. If you violate any of these rules, you will not be able to enter the Book Collection Pavilion for life. Whichever treasures you obtain, are up to fate. Did you understand?" The Grand Elder stood at the steps before the Pavilion's entrance and scanned the faces of the Hun Clan's children with a serious face.

"We understand!"

All the boys and girls beneath the steps responded excitedly. As children of the Hun Clan, they knew that except for 6-year-olds who reach the requirement, the only time they can enter this Pavilion again is if they make great contributions to the Clan.

Faced with something that may only happen once in a lifetime, all the boys and girls beneath the steps had nothing but excitement in their hearts.

"Now that you know, let's begin!" The Grand Elder touched his Storage Ring, flicked his finger, causing a crystal ball the size of a washbasin to suspend in front of him.

"After testing your Attributes, you can enter the Book Collection Pavilion. Remember, you can only enter the Pavilion corresponding to your Attributes. Okay, who will go first?" the Elder asked.

Hearing him, a child standing at the front touched the crystal ball excitedly, a burst of light was emitted by the crystal ball.

"Dark Attributes. Okay, go in!" The Elder glanced at the crystal ball and smiled kindly.

Seeing someone take the lead, the children got fired up and began to anxiously approach the crystal ball, each nervous about their Attribute yet excited at the same time. After all, the Grand Elder said that the Book Collection Pavilion is only open to them for two hours. Whoever enters first, would undoubtedly have more time in there.

On the other hand, Hun Han waited carelessly. For Hun Han, the most important purpose of this trip is to complete his Location Sign In Mission. Of course, if he could enter the Pavilion, how could he not take away a treasure?!

"Hun Feng, Wind Attribute and Thunder Attribute. Well, you can choose anything from these two Attributes. Go in!" The Grand Elder said with a smile.

"Yes!"

Hun Feng nodded, he stepped onto the stone steps leading to the Pavilion. However, instead of continuing onwards and entering the Book Collection Pavilion, he stood at the entrance, looking at the only remaining child, Hun Han. As his competitor, he wanted to see what kind of Attributes Hun Han possessed.

Hun Han looked at the smooth crystal ball, he hesitated for a while before touching the crystal ball lightly with his fingers.

As Hun Han's finger made contact with the crystal ball, the crystal ball fell slightly silent before turning fiery red in an instant, it was as hot and dazzling as a fireball.

"Fire Attribute?" The Grand Elder looked a little surprised. Hun Han and Hun Feng deserve to be the sons of the Patriarch, the purity of their Fire, Wind and Thunder Attribute are all top tier.

However, after the fiery red light appeared, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...colourful lights appeared in the crystal ball.

"Metal Attribute!"

"Wood Attribute!"

"Water Attribute!"

"Earth Attribute!"

"Wind Attribute!"

"Thunder Attribute!"

"Blood Attribute!"

"Dark Attribute!"

The Hun Clan's Grand Elder looked shocked, Even the Seniors Hun Clan sitting on both sides of the Pavilion opened their eyes that had been tightly closed. Someone had 9 Attributes!

"Child, you turned out to be a All-Rounder Talent with every Attribute!" The hands of the Grand Elder held the Hun Han's arms with excitement.

"Grandpa Grand Elder, is an All-Rounder Attributed Talent very powerful?" Hun Han asked curiously.

"This is not absolute. On the contrary, a person's Dou Qi and energy are limited, and he cannot bite off more than he can chew. A Dual Attributed Cultivator will have obvious advantages in the Early Stages. In the Later Stages, the Cultivator's Dou Qi Store will be insufficient. In my memory, there has been no stunning Cultivator with Dual Attributes. My suggestion is that you specialize in one of your Attributes. However, you are qualified to be a glorious Alchemist with Fire Attributes and Wood Attributes!" The Grand Elder said excitedly, he could see how far Hun Han would go down the path of Alchemy with his powerful Fire and Wood Attributes.

"Alchemist?" Hearing this, Hun Feng's eyes flashed brightly before he stepped into the Book Collection Pavilion.

"Well, yes, thank you, Grandpa!" Hun Han thanked him politely.

"Good boy, go in!" The Elder rubbed Hun Han's head.

However, as soon as Hun Han's feet stepped into the threshold of the Book Collection Pavilion, the System rang.

"Ding Dong!"

"Congratulations, you have entered the Book Collection Pavilion of the Hun Clan. Would you like to complete the Location Sign In Mission?"

"Yes!"

"Ding Dong!"

"Congratulations, you have completed the Location Sign In Mission at the Book Collection Pavilion of the Hun Clan!"

Chapter 10 New Location Sign In Mission

Good Fortune Rising Dragon Art: High Level Heaven Class Body Refining Method. The Heavens are not fair and treats everything cruelly. This Body Refining Method comes from the Barbarian Clans of the Ancient Era, using all of existence, they forged the strongest bodies to reach the highest of Realms. This Body Refining Method is comparable to a Low Level Immortal Class Dou Qi Skill and Qi Method. With a fist, one can shatter the sky and with a kick, sunder the earth. This Body Refining Method forges a body that is comparable to a True Dragon.

"Hahaha!"

Hun Han laughed a few times, the Location Sign In Mission did not disappoint him, he had obtained a High-Level Heaven Class Body Refining Method!

As a reincarnator, Hun Han knows that in the Ancient Era, humans were also a part of the savage cycle of nature, at that time, people would live and dance with death every day as they fought with beasts. To survive, humans fought hand-to-hand with Magic Beasts, and the humans' capital for doing so was their bodies. Humans in the Ancient Era had powerful bodies and would drink blood and eat raw animal flesh, they would eat and swallow Magic Cores for breakfast, unlike the Current Era where people are afraid of eating a single Magic Core, fearing that it would cause their Qi to reverse and their bodies to implode.

The humans' Cultivation of their bodies lasted until they discovered Dou Qi Cultivation, humans then began to absorb and utilise Dou Qi to create and cast powerful, destructive attacks.

Since humans found Dou Qi Cultivation much easier than Physique Cultivation, most abandoned Body Refining Methods, thus over time, the number of experts with strong bodies fell one by one. Creating the Current Era where people are aware of Dou Qi and Soul Cultivation, yet few remember the glorious Physique Cultivation. There are Cultivators out there though, who have the Blood Attribute and unconsciously use it to have slightly stronger bodies, such as Wu Hao of Jia Nan Academy, yet none fully explore and understand it.

"Ding Dong!"

"The System has issued a new Location Sign In Mission. Please Sign In at the Exploding Heavens' Faction Temple in the Black-Corner Region!"

"Exploding Heavens Faction?"

(T/N: This is a Reference to the Exploding Heavens Faction that appears in the Novel: Ultimate Scheming System)

Hun Han was stunned. He thought he was mistaken when he heard the words 'Exploding Heavens Faction'.

There are people in the Dou Qi Continent who have named their sect as 'Explosive Heaven Faction'?

What?! Who named it? It is such a domineering and awesome name!

Hun Han knew the Plot of the Novel 'Battle Through The Heavens', yet he had never heard of such a power, this left him curious for quite a while.

"Ding Dong!"

"Does the Host accept the new Location Sign In Mission?"

"Accept the Mission!"

Hun Han responded without hesitation. Signing In at a place in the Black-Corner Region would be easier than Signing In at a place like the Hun Clan's Book Collection Pavilion.

"Ding Dong!"

"The Host successfully accepted the new Location Sign In Mission, please Sign In at the Exploding Heavens Faction's Temple in the Black-Corner Region!"

The first time he completed a Location Sign In Mission, he obtained a Saint Grade Bloodline that surpassed a Dou Di Bloodline, suggesting that he would be able to rise to a Realm greater than Dou Di.

(T/N: PLEASE READ!

A Grade 10 Complete Dou Di Bloodline is equivalent to a Spirit Level Heavenly Sovereign in The Great Ruler (Sequel of Wu Don Qian Kun/Martial Universe and Battle Through The Heavens), the Peak of the Heavenly Sovereign Realm is called Saint Level Heavenly Sovereign, perhaps Hun Han's Bloodline means that he will certainly reach and will have a smoother path to becoming a Saint Level Heavenly Sovereign than others (Saint Level Heavenly Sovereign is the Peak Power in The Great Ruler, only beneath the Ranker and Great Ruler Realms, that should give you an idea of how powerful his Bloodline is)

For his second Location Sign In Mission, Hun Han obtained the Ancient, Lost, High Level Heaven Class Body Refining Method that is equivalent to a Low Level Immortal Class Qi Method, Good Fortune Rising Dragon Art.

What kind of reward will he obtain when he completes the third Location Sign In Mission?!

"Ding Dong!"

"Congratulations, the Timed Location Sign in has been completed, would you like to Sign In?"

"Sign In!"

"Ding Dong!"

"Congratulations, Hose has completed the Timed Sign In, and obtained the item: Box of Foundation Building Lollipops!"

"Ugh!"

Hun Han clicked his tongue secretly, he had already Timed Signed In once before and obtained this, this is his third Timed Signing In and he still obtained this Item.

Hun Han's Sign In System has three functions: Timed Sign In, Character Sign In, and Location Sign In. Among them, the Timed Sign In's rewards is the lowest, the Characters Sign In is the most mysterious and the Location Sign In's rewards are the most precious.

However, even the lowest-level reward he obtained, if it is found, would attract people's greed and ill intentions. After all, just by licking a sweet, a person could become a Dou Zhe, who would not want to steal it?!

After Hun Han checked, he saw that Timed Sign In's can give repeat rewards and that the next Timed Sign In is 24 hours away.

Hun Han took out a Foundation Building Lollipop and began to lick it. The sweet energy satisfied his taste buds, excited his nerves, and penetrated his blood before finally nourishing his internal organs and physique.

"Now, which Pavilion should I go to?" After stepping into the Book Collection Pavilion of the Hun Clan, Hun Han entered the Main Hall. The Main Hall occupies an area over 300 square meters and has 9 Passages that lead to the different Attributed Pavilions.

The door frame of each Passageway has a different colour. The Red Frame represents the Fire Attribute, the Blue Frame represents the Water Attribute and the Ice Attribute, the Cyan Frame represents the Wind Attribute, the Yellow Frame is the Earth Attribute, the Black Frame is the Dark Attribute, and the Silver Frame is the Thunder Attribute...there are 9 different colours, one for each of the different Attributes.

Hun Han has the All-Rounder Talent, meaning he has every single Attribute and therefore qualified to enter any of the Pavilions, however, according to the rules, he can only take one Item.

Being at a crossroads, Hun Han felt entangled, which should he choose?

The Fire Attribute is good, after all, this plane has Heavenly Flames, and there is a lot of room for growth.

The Thunder Attribute is also good, Thunder Attributed Dou Qi deals the strongest damage among all Dou Qi Attributes.

Wind Attribute is helpful as well, it can make him unpredictable and be like a ghost and difficult to capture. It is excellent for Movement and Escaping Techniques.

...

Hun Han however has the All-Rounder Attribute Talent, and according to the Grand Elder, he should specialise in one Attribute, yet each Attribute has its own charms and advantages, leaving Hun Han confused as to which one he should pick.

He felt like there are 9 stunning beautifies before him, each with different, yet tempting merits and styles, he can play with and be with all of them but can only pick one!

"Forget it, I will let God decide for me!"

Hun Han felt he could not choose, thus he simply closed his eyes, stretched out his fingers, and went in circles, while muttering something: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Climb The Mountain To Catch The Tiger, Since I Cannot Catch The Tiger As The Tiger Is Not Home, I Caught A Squirrel, How Many Squirrels Did I Catch? Let Me Count, Count Them Forward, Count Them Backward, 1,2,3,4,5. I choose you!"

(T/N: The above is a nursery rhyme, it is equivalent to the West's 'Innie Minie Monie Moe, Catch The Tiger By Its Toe, If It Hollers Let It Go, Innie Minie Monie Moe)

Hun Han opened his eyes and found that he was pointing to the Blood Attribute Passage.

"Blood Attribute?"

Hun Han was taken aback. Just now, he Signed In and obtained the High Level Heaven Class Body Refining Method. Now, he is going to choose another Blood Attribute Dou Qi Cultivation Method, would this not be redundant and a waste?

The Blood Attributed Dou Qi is a product of Body Refining Methods being used with Dou Qi Refining Methods and comes from the Ancient Era, they can be regarded as a crossover of the two Schools of Cultivation. Hun Han thought that since he already has a High Level Heaven Class Body Refining Method that would not only strengthen his Physique but also provide him with Blood Attributed Dou Qi, then there would be no need to Cultivate a Blood Attribute Dou Qi Method.

"No, this does not count, again!"

Hun Han closed his eyes again, stretched out his fingers, turned around in circles, and muttered the rhyme again: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Climb The Mountain To Catch The Tiger, Since Cannot Catch The Tiger As The Tiger Is Not Home, I Caught A Squirrel, How Many Squirrels Did I Catch? Let Me Count, Count Them Forward, Count Them Backward, 1,2,3,4,5. I choose you!"

"What, why is it this again!" Hun Han was dumbfounded as he found that he was once again pointing at the Blood Attribute Passage.

"Forget it, since God wants me to choose you, then I choose you!"

(T/N: Who else imagines Ash from Pokémon when Hun Han says 'I choose you!'?)

Hun Han made up his mind and stepped into the Blood Attribute Passage.

Chapter 11 Selecting Treasures

Stepping into the Blood Red Passage, the light dimmed, a soft light radiated from the Moonstones in the Passage.

After walking more than 100 meters, Hun Han saw a 6-story Blood Coloured Pavilion that stood on a small square. Although the Pavilion only has 6 Floors, each Floor is 10 meters tall and occupies an area of nearly 10,000 square meters.

When Hun Han stepped out of the Passage and entered this small square, Hun Han keenly sensed several Qi's envelope and scan him. Presumably, even this Pavilion, experts are guarding it.

Slowly, Hun Han approached and stood before the Pavilion. Above its entrance, was a plaque that had been eroded by time. On the plaque, in ancient characters, was written: Body Refining Pavilion!

The bronze Gate of the Pavilion was tightly closed. It seemed that there were no children of the Hun Clan who had the Blood Attribute and possessed the qualifications to enter this Pavilion.

"Junior Hun Han has come to select a treasure, could Senior please open the Gate!"

Hun Han walked toward the Pavilion, clasped his fists, bowed slightly, and spoke.

As soon as Hun Han's words fell, the bronze door slowly opened.

"Thank you, Senior!" Hun Han bowed politely again and then stepped into the Body Refining Pavilion.

Entering the Pavilion, a scent of books hit him. He could see stacks of bookshelves placed in the Pavilion. Altogether, he counted over 100 bookshelves, and at a glance, it looks like a normal library.

However, the ancient scrolls on the bookshelves are randomly placed and disorganised.

Hun Han walked to a nearby bookshelf curiously, he picked up a withered and yellow ancient scroll that had piled up dust, when he picked it up, the dust spread into the air, causing him to cough.

"High Level Huang Class Skill, Turtle Spirit Fist!"

"Middle Level Xuan Class Skill, 6 Combining Axe!"

...

Hun Han discovered that the ancient scrolls that were on the bookshelves were mostly High Level Huang Class Skills and among them, there were also Middle Level Xuan Class Skills as well, they were placed here like trash though people in the outside world would fight and kill for these Skills.

Hun Han recalled that the strongest Qi Method that the Xiao Clan of Wu Tan City had was only Middle Level Xuan Class, yet here, such techniques were placed about randomly compared to the Xiao Clan who looked after the Technique more than their descendants.

In addition to Dou Skills and Qi Methods, various Weapons were also randomly placed in the Pavilion. Hun Han found that the strongest Weapon he had found thus far was Middle Level Xuan Class.

Like Qi Methods and Dou Skills, Weapons also have Ranks, they are the following from highest to lowest: Tian, Di, Xuan and Huang, each divided into High, Middle and Low, above the Tian Weapons are Ranked Artifacts.

After Hun Han satisfied his initial curiosity, he did not stay long, he turned and headed for the Second Floor.

Perhaps, among the Low Level Dou Skills, Qi Methods and Weapons, there will be a few heaven-defying ones, however, to find such treasures, he would need a protagonist's plot armour and luck.

And currently, he has limited time, he cannot pause and comb through the trash hoping to come across a heaven-defying treasure.

As Hun Han continued to explore, he discovered that the Second Floor, like the First, contained Cultivation Methods and Skills as well as Weapons. It is just that the Level of the Techniques has reached High Level Xuan Class and so has the Level of the Weapons. Compared to the disorganised First Floor, the Items on the Second Floor were organised and placed neatly.

On the Third Floor, the Level of the Items reached Low Level Di Class, there, every Item would have its own room, he even found Tier 7 Medicinal Materials and Tier 7 Pills.

As for the Fourth Floor, the Level of the Items reached Middle Level Di Class while the Fifth Floor had Items that would get his heart to race, there were High Level Di Class Items here, even with such High Level Items, he still counted and found that the total number of these Items was in the 4 Digits.

The Hun Clan is worthy of being an Ancient Clan. Its foundation is extremely strong and deep, even a random Item here would set off a bloody storm outside.

As for the Sixth Floor, it turned out to be Tian Class Items.

There are not many rooms and Items on the sixth Floor, and many of them are empty. Even so, he still found that the total number Items on the Sixth Floor exceeded Double Digits. The Weapons he found were full of brilliance and they were breathtaking, each of them was terrifying Tian Class Weapons.

Hun Han stepped into a room that had a raised wooden platform. On the wooden platform, was a bloody long sword. The sword was 9 feet long and had an incomparably evil shine and spirit.

"Blood Drinking Sword!"

On the wooden platform, was inscribed a line of tiny characters.

Blood Drinking Sword: A Tian Class Weapon with a powerful evil spirit, it is capable of storing blood and using it to increase and burst with great combat power. It should be used with caution, it is advised that those who are not strong enough, should not take this Weapon.

Currently, Hun Han has obtained an Ancient Body Refining Method, but he lacks a Weapon.

This Blood Drinking Sword is very powerful, even if he cannot use it, he could surely sell it for a good price.

Thinking of this, Hun Han's palm moved towards the hilt of the Blood Drinking Sword.

Buzz-

As Hun Han's palm held onto the hilt of the Sword, the Sword trembled fiercely, as if it were a wife being abused, she violently resisted Hun Han's hold.

"I do not believe I cannot subdue you!" The stubborn Hun Han held fiercely onto the hilt.

However, the Sword's resistance only increased and intensified.

At a certain moment, the sword broke free and hovered in the room. Finally, the tip of the sword... turned and shot straight towards Hun Han.

"Ah!"

Hun Han screamed and closed his eyes subconsciously.

However, he did not feel any pain, when he opened one of his eyes slightly, he was horrified to see that the sword was only 5 inches away from him. Even if the treasure sword struggled, it was as if there was a wall before it that was preventing it from reaching Hun Han.

"Tian Class Weapons have their own Spirits, those who are not destined to obtain them, should not force it!"

An ancient voice sounded in the silent room. As the voice fell, the Blood Drinking Sword returned to its original position.

"Thank you Senior for your life saving grace!"

Hun Han bowed to the void before he stepped out of the room.

"There are 5 minutes left, after 5 minutes have passed, all of you must exit the Pavilion."

The voice of the Grand Elder rang from outside the Book Collection Pavilion.

"Damn it, I only have 5 minutes left!"

Hun Han was anxious; he began to look quickly in the surrounding rooms. The barriers to the rooms had been taken down, he had access to all of these Weapons, Methods and Skills but needed to not only be destined to obtain one, but he also needed to break through a thin film of Dou Qi that wrapped the Qi Methods and Skills, if he was able to do so, it would show he is qualified to obtain the Qi Method or Skill, Weapons, on the other hand, he would need to appease the Weapon Spirit to take them.

Regrettably, he did not qualify nor was he destined to obtain these Tian Class Blood Attribute Qi Method, Dou Skills and Weapons.

"I do not enough time! Forget it, I will just take away a Low Class Weapon!"

Just when Hun Han was turning to leave, he felt a subtle fluctuation that made his mind tremble.

"Huh, what's this?"

Hun Han looked at a Passage leading to deeper into the Pavilion, calming down, he felt that in that dimly lit area, there was something that seemed to be calling him!

-

Chapter 12 What Is This?

"There is indeed a strange voice coming from there. It seems that something is calling me!"

Hun Han thought it was an illusion at first, but when he calmed down, he found that it was not an illusion, but that there really was a subtle fluctuation from the corridor ahead, something was calling him!

"Is my luck that good?!"

Hun Han licked his lips, in this place where Tian Class Weapons and Techniques, there is something that is summoning him, what kind of luck is this?

As a reincarnator, Hun Han knows, that under such circumstances, the treasure that is calling him, the treasure that he will obtain is not a simple one. Being able to actively call him and choose its master shows that the Treasure's Spirit has matured.

"It does not matter anyway, I only have 5 minutes left, so I might as well take a gamble!"

Taking a step forward, Hun Han moved quickly towards the dark corridor that he could sense that summon, soon, he arrived at a room.

Standing before the room's door, Hun Han could smell something musty and dirty, it seemed that this room had not been cleaned for many years. When he opened the door and saw the inside of the room, Hun Han saw spider webs in the corners of the room, further affirming his assumption. There were a lot of Items in the room, they were stacked like trash, the room did not even have a Moonstone for lighting, this shows how indifferent the Hun Clan is towards the Items strewn in this room.

Hun Han saw knives, swords, sabres, staves, whips, every type of Weapon one could imagine, there was one of them here. The Weapons had obscure runes painted on them, causing them to give off an antique fragrance.

Perhaps, due to age, these treasures have lost their original lustre. At first glance, they look like works of art. Compared to the dazzling and brilliant Tian Class Weapons and Items he had seen thus far, these Items were like works of art, inferior art that is.

Standing at the door of this room, Hun Han closed his eyes, he could feel the subtle fluctuations become stronger.

"It's here!"

Hun Han scanned the room, he saw countless treasures and needed to find the one that called him from the huge pile before him. But the pile was so large, he did not even know where to begin!

"There is only 1 minute left, after 1 minute, everyone will be forcibly ejected from the Pavilion."

The voice of the Grand Elder rang again.

"Damn it, I have only 1 minute left!" Hun Han scanned the treasures in the room. How would he find that Item in 1 minute?!

Hu~

Hun Han exhaled a long breath, he closed his eyes, and calmly felt his surroundings.

If it were to be another 6-year-old child, at this critical juncture, they would be sweating anxiously and would be in a rush. However, Hun Han is no ordinary person. Beneath his childish face, is a mature mind like Xiao Yan.

His previous life's experience told Hun Han that the more critical a juncture is, the calmer he must be. The worst result would be leaving empty-handed.

"Last 10 seconds, after 10 seconds, everyone will be ejected from the Book Collection Pavilion!"

The voice of the Grand Elder spread to every corner of the Book Collection Pavilion.

"There!"

Hun Han was overjoyed and suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes locked in one direction. In that corner, treasures are piled more than one meter high.

Dum…Dum… Dum…

Hun Han stretched out his hand, one by one, he threw those treasures behind him, he appeared like a mole digging into the soil.

"Time is up, come out!"

The voice of the Grand Elder drifted into the Book Collection Pavilion. At Hun Han's side, a ripple appeared in space. The ripples spread rapidly and began to envelop his body.

Once his body is wrapped in the ripples, no matter what he wants to do, he will still be forced out of the Pavilion.

"That's it!"

Hun Han was overjoyed, under the treasure in front of him, he found an object emitting a hazy light.

Since his time is running out, Hun Han did not bother looking at it, the moment the ripples enveloped his body, he grabbed hold of that object.

Hun Han's vision darkened; the surrounding scenery changed rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he was once again standing before the Gate of the Book Collection Pavilion.

In front of the Gate sat the Grand Elder with a table in front of him and a pen along with sheepskin paper in his hands.

In front of the Grand Elder was many children, they had all lined up and emerged before the time was up. They were currently informing the Elder what they had obtained from the Pavilion.

There were currently two people before Hun Han in the queue, thus, Hun Han took advantage of it to take a look at the object that was calling him.

The object was a 9 feet long sword, it was black all over and had many obscure runes on it.

"Sword?"

Hun Han was taken aback. The reason why he was taken aback was that the sword was rusty.

"Did I pick the right Weapon?!"

Hun Han was stunned, this sword is trash no matter how you look at it. Moreover, Hun Han remembered that the treasure that summoned him was emitting a hazy light, currently, this sword was not giving off anything at all.

Inevitably, he would doubt if he had taken the right object!

Did he, in that urgent situation, take the wrong object?

"Okay, next!"

The voice of the Grand Elder sounded in Hun Han's ears: "Young Master Hun Han, it's your turn!"

"Ah...ok!"

Hun Han walked to the table, he placed the rusty sword onto it and waited.

"Huh?"

The Grand Elder was surprised, after all, he knew many of the treasures and Skills in the Pavilion and was currently wondering why Hun Han would pick a trash sword out of the many treasures that were in the Book Collection Pavilion.

Body Refining Pavilion, Rusty Black Sword, Hun Han!

Even though he was puzzled, the Hun Clan's Grand Elder still wrote down the relevant information of the Item and its owner on the sheepskin scroll.

The Hun Clan has a long heritage and countless treasures. The Clan makes detailed records about every Item, its owner and everything else. Once the owner of the Item dies, the Clan will recover the Item and return it to the Book Collection Pavilion.

"Rusty Black Sword?" The surrounding Hun Clan children looked at Hun Han with mocking eyes. They all wanted to laugh but did not dare to.

Hun Han glanced around, all the children who had entered the Book Collection Pavilion this time had contented expressions. Some were even holding the luminous treasures in their hands.

"Okay, this opening of the Book Collection Pavilion is now over."

Leaving the Book Collection Pavilion Realm with all the Hun Clan children in tow, the Grand Elder of the Hun Clan said to the children beside him. Finally, he touched his ring, flicked his finger, and a black token and an ancient scroll of sheepskin appeared in his hand. He said again: "Young Master Hun Han, this token is that of the Deputy Chief of the Soul Hall's Man Hall. You will be transferred to the Man Hall in the Southwestern Region of the Central Plains, to the Dead Mountain Range!"

(T/N: The Hall of Souls or Soul Hall has the following Hierarchy: Disha Halls Man Hall Earth HallSky Hall (The Man, Earth and Sky Halls are part of the Tiangang Hall)

"He will be a Deputy Chief? And that of the Man Hall?"

"He is not even the Chief of the Soul Hall but a Deputy?"

"That's right, and he is also the Deputy of the lowest Rank Man Hall, it seems that the Patriarch does not like him at all!"

Hearing this, all the children of the Hun Clan were worried about the fate of Hun Han.

Currently, Hun Han is 6 years old with a limited Cultivation Base. According to the previous rules, even if his Cultivation Base does not meet the requirement, as the direct descendent of the Patriarch, he would be the Lord of a Region, in this case of the Soul Hall.

But that is not the case with Hun Han nor does Hun Han have the protection of the experts that would come with him, is this not any different than sending Hun Han to his death?

In response to this, the Grand Elder of the Hun Clan also sighed slightly and looked at Hun Han worriedly: "From now on, you will be sent to do your duty, you are on your own!"

Chapter 13 Freedom But Not For Long

The setting sun painted the sky red; it made the clouds appear as if they were burning and the lake below appear as red as blood.

Suddenly, there was a violent fluctuation in the space above the lake. Ripples began to appear on the lake, the ripples gradually intensified over time. Soon, a large black door appeared in the space above it, from the door, emerged armoured figures with wings. They stood in two rows waiting for others after them to emerge from the gate.

Afterwards, from the dark door, emerged another dozen figures. Their leader was a white-haired old man. Behind the old man, was several young people of different ages. Among them, was a 6-year-old child, he did not fit in with the armoured figures and solemn-looking young men. The child was currently licking a lollipop with great relish.

The white-haired old man waved his hand, and everyone behind him slowly landed on the grass by the lake. Then the old man said: "Well, you all can leave, go to your designated regions and take up your positions."

"Yes Elder!"

The figures of the young men rushed in all directions. In the end, only the 6-year-old child remained behind.

The Elder looked down at the aqua robed child, he said: "Young Master Hun Han, according to the rules, I can only bring you until here."

Hun Han nodded slightly.

The Elder looked at Hun Han before he waved his hand, causing a scroll to appear and float to Hun Han.

Hun Han opened it curiously, it turned out to be a very detailed map with a few crosses here and there.

The Elder explained: "This is a map of the Central Plains. The crosses are some of the strongholds of our Hun Clan. This old man has limited abilities and can only help you this much. If I help you too much, other people will begin to become suspicious, I hope you can understand!"

Hun Han put the map into his ring, he found the content very detailed, as for the Elder's words, Hun Han could understand them very well.

Within the Hun Clan, there were open and secret fights, around 7 or 8 factions have long been formed, each of the factions supported a different child of Hun Tian Di in their path to becoming the Patriarch. If the Elder before him helped him too much, people from other factions will become suspicious and he will find himself in unnecessary trouble.

Hun Han bowed politely to the old man and thanked him: "I have remembered what happened today, If I have the chance to, I will repay this favour tenfold in the future."

The Elder looked at Hun Han with appreciation. Compared to the other outstanding children of Hun Tian Di, Hun Han also has his unique charm. It is just a pity that Hun Tian Di does not like Hun Han! Otherwise...

Sigh~

The Hun Clan Elder sighed softly, he then immediately stepped into the dark gate behind him and disappeared.

"Haha, I'm finally out!"

Hun Han laughed and danced. In the virgin forest, butterflies were dancing gracefully, birds singing beautifully and then there was Hun Han.

Hun Han scanned the surroundings and asked softly, "Aunt Qin, are you there?"

Hun Han's voice had fallen yet there was no movement, despite this, HunHan carried on speaking, he took out the black sword he had obtained from the Hun Clan's Book Collection Pavilion, he asked: "Maybe you can see the origin of this sword?"

After he finished speaking, space 10 meters away from him shuddered before Qin Lan, who was perfectly displaying her hourglass figure in her dark outfit appeared and walked out of the gate that she had formed in the void. It seemed that Qin Lan had long been there, waiting to serve him.

Dou Zun!

This is Hun Han's latest understanding of Qin Lan. Being able to create a spatial gate shows that Qin Lan has a minimum Cultivation Base at the Dou Zun Realm.

Qin Lan looked at the black sword in Hun Han's hand and asked: "Young Master, where did you get this sword?"

Hun Han replied: "It was in some random corner of the Hun Clan's Book Collection Pavilion!"

Qin Lan was stunned: "It was thrown in some random corner?"

Hun Han nodded: "Yes."

Qin Lan: "Despite my experience, I still cannot see this swords origin. Any Weapon at or above the Di Class would give off a special charm and lustre, some would even emit Dou Qi and affect the space around them while others have special abilities that would not be revealed until you become its Master. Young Master, have you become its Master yet?"

After Hun Han heard her, he was silent for a moment before he asked: "Then how would I know that I am the sword's Master?"

Qin Lan replied, "It is very simple really, try to communicate with the Sword Spirit inside. If you can communicate with the Sword Spirit and get its approval, then it means that it has recognised you and that you are its Master."

"Okay!"

Hearing this, Hun Han sat cross-legged, he began stroking the sword with both his hands, intent on communicating with the Sword Spirit.

However, Qin Lan's expression changed, a ripple emerged in space and from it, an invisible arrow shot straight towards Hun Han.

A spark appeared in the sky as the black star-shaped weapon was blocked and deflected by two short daggers that had suddenly appeared in Qin Lan's hands.

"There is an assassin!"

Hun Han's expression changed, he stood up while tightly clenching the black sword in his hands.

"Let's go!"

Qin Lan exclaimed anxiously, she made sure that Hun Han was behind her and that they were backing away from the ripple before them.

"Jie Jie Jie! My Young Master is right, this little guy has someone protecting him!" Hoarse laughter rang in the sky. Soon after the laughter, 5 black-robed men shrouded in black robes appeared, they were all standing in the sky, indicating that they were at least Dou Zong Stage assassins.

"Five?"

Qin Lan had an ugly expression on her face, she shouted: "Who are you? Do you not know that he is Hun Tian Di's son?!"

"Jie Jie Jie!"

One of the black-robed men sneered: "Of course we know, otherwise why would we be here? Have you not realised; we are here for the Thirteenth Young Master!"

"Thirteenth Young Master?"

Qin Lan noticed the other party's words and solemnly said: "Are you from the Hun Clan?"

Uh!

The five black-robed men were taken aback for a moment, and then one of them shouted: "Stop talking to her, she only has a Ban Sheng Cultivation Base, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh, follow me, we will have to bind her to get to the Young Master."

"Okay, Third Brother!" Having heard the order, the assassins moved as a group, they were trying to surround Qin Lan and Hun Han.

"Young Master, take this and go, go to Pill Tower. After Aunt Qin takes care of them, she will return and find you again!" Qin Lan stuffed a fiery red token into Hun Han's arms hands, her expression was very solemn.

"Aunt Qin, actually we can..."

"Young Master, go!"

Before Hun Han could finish his words, Qin Lan shouted anxiously.

"Aunt Qin, I mean we can both go together..."

Before Hun Han could finish speaking, Qin Lan gently pushed Hun Han, in the blink of an eye, by utilising her understanding of and the power of space, Qin Lan had transported Hun Han tens of thousands of meters away.

"Jie Jie Jie, Qin Lan, do you think you can save him by doing this?" One of the assassins sneered.

"What do you mean?" Qin Lan frowned, she felt as if she had overlooked something.

"Jie Jie Jie, to tell you the truth, we are not the only ones sent to assassinate the Thirteenth Young Master!" The Leader of the assassins smiled triumphantly.

"What?!"

Qin Lan's beautiful pupils dilated, and her expression changed drastically, she recalled the Hun Clan Disciples that had just left.

Chapter 14 Tiger Returning To The Mountain

"At this speed, before dark, I can leave this Valley and reach the Town outside the Hun Clan's Realm." Hun Han muttered to himself while looking at the map given by the Elder of the Hun Clan.

The entrance to the Hun Clan's Realm is like that of the Gu Clan, it is near a vast lake, after leaving the boundary of that lake, there will be a small forest. The beasts in the forest have long been exterminated, this also why he did not encounter any Magic Beast despite having been separated from Qin Lan.

"I wonder how Aunt Qin is?"

With a hint of worry in his eyes, he inwardly spoke: "The assassin said that Aunt Qin has a Ban Sheng Cultivation Base. She should be strong enough to defend against the assassins. I wonder though, who is it that wants to kill me?"

Hun Han is a reincarnator, making him wise for his age. Thus, he could immediately infer that someone wished to kill him, the question is though, what is the other party's motive behind this?

After thinking some more, Hun Han remembered his special identity, he is the Thirteenth Son of Hun Tian Di, making the answer obvious, the assassin must be targeting him because of this identity, they must want to get him out of the race to become the Hun Clan's Young Master and future Patriarch. Apart from this reason, Hun Han could not think of any other reason for why he is being targeted.

"No, it could be my future potential as well. With my Saint Grade Bloodline, my future achievements will certainly be high, and I would have the strength to fight for the seat of Patriarch, though my cheap father would not allow me to do so."

Hun Han was puzzled, he is a low key person, before he did not even cultivate, giving him no qualification to compete for the seat for Patriarch, so if the opponent is not assassinating him for the position or his future potential, then why did they attack him?

After all, if it is for the position of Patriarch, with how indifferent Hun Tian Di is with him, it is impossible for him to become the Hun Clan's Patriarch, making the assassination totally unnecessary!

"It doesn't matter, I will go to the Town first and wait for Aunt Qin to return!"

Since he knew the plot of the Novel, Hun Han knew what will happen in the future to the Hun Clan, a Pill containing Origin Qi will appear which Xiao Yan will take, making him the Flame Di, in response, to fight him, Hun Tian Di would sacrifice all his Clan to become the Blood Di.

Hun Han did not want to become a sacrifice for Hun Tian Di's rise; thus, he had gladly left the Hun Realm, he did not want to participate in its plots or machinations.

As for the tragic fate of his old man, Hun Han did not care, let nature take its course!

"Hu~ I am finally out of that damn forest."

Hun Han exhaled while standing at the entrance of a valley, he could see smoke rising from the Town not far away. This view was improved by the lush and beautiful greenery and flowers.

"It is so beautiful!"

Hun Han licked the Foundation Building Lollipop in his hand while he was amazed at the Town's beauty.

Before Hun Han could let out a sigh of relief for his freedom, a figure attacked him from the tree behind him.

The attack was sudden, Hun Han did not have any time to react at all. He felt a terrifying force hit him, sending him into the air before he fell 50 metres away.

Pu-

Hun Han spat out a mouthful of blood, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked up. He saw that his attacker was a man with a delicate appearance and that he was dressed in a fiery red robe. The man appeared to be in his early 20's. currently, he was looking at Hun Han in surprise. It seemed that he did not expect that Hun Han would be able to withstand his punch without dying.

The young man in the red robe could not help but exclaim: "Is this the horror of a Dou Di Bloodline?! It is obvious that he is a Dou Zhi Qi, yet he can withstand a Dou Shi's punch!"

On the Dou Qi Plane, the Cultivation Stages are as follows: Dou Zhi Qi, Dou Zhe, Dou Shi, Da Dou Shi, Dou Ling, Dou Wang, Dou Huang, Dou Zong, Dou Zun, Dou Sheng, and the legendary Dou Di.

Currently, Hun Han is an Early Stage Dou Zhi Qi, yet he can withstand the punch of a Da Dou Shi, albeit the punch was only 30% of a Dou Shi's power, it is still not something that a Dou Zhi Qi can withstand. This shows the horror of a Dou Di Bloodline, wait no, Hun Han's Bloodline is at the Saint Grade, a Grade higher than Dou Di!

Om…

Fluctuations could be felt from the Town, Hun Han saw that a few black spots had risen and they were running on space straight towards him. Come to think of it, the commotion that was happening here should have alerted Qin Lan and the assassins.

Seeing he had survived, the red-robed youth took out a long sword. The sword was as red as fire, and with the other party injecting Dou Qi into it, the sword immediately soared as it created a raging fire.

The red-robed young man in the red robe had sharp eyes and saw Hun Han looking at his sword, he said proudly: "It seems that I do not have much time left. Although I do not want to, but in the current situation, I can only use this move. This is shameful, that I, a Dou Shi have to attack a Dou Zhi Qi with this Skill!"

It is indeed shameful for a Dou Shi to sneak attack and kill a weak little Dou Zhi Qi.

"You can go die now!"

High Level Huang Class Skill- Raging Flame Cut.

With a wave of his hand, the flames on the sword became fiercer and larger, they began to burn the earth and plants in a 10 metre radius.

In the end, the sword cut down. The flame instantly swallowed Hun Han's figure. When the flames dissipated, a long black ravine 100 metres long and 20 metres wide had appeared, showing the destructive ability of the young man's attack.

The flowers and plants on the ground had long turned to ashes. In the field, there was no sign of Hun Han. A breeze blew by, from it, you could smell the stench of burnt, rotten flesh.

At this moment, the black spots that had flown out of the Town had already reached where the red-robed young man was.

"Boy, you can consider your death a worthy one, after all, not many can force me to use this Skill!" The red-robed youth thought that Hun Han had died.

However, the red-robed young man would never dream that in another region of the Dou Qi Continent, space trembled before an aqua blue-robed child fell from the void.

Chapter 15 Truth And Illusion

In the Hun Clan, the Grand Elder stood in front of Hun Tian Di and said, "Patriarch, most of the direct descendants who did not meet the requirements this year, have already taken up positions in their respective territories."

"Good!" Hun Tian Di faintly nodded.

The Grand Elder then took out an ancient scroll, handed it to Hun Tian Di and said: "All the direct descendants who entered the Book Collection Pavilion and the treasures they obtained is written here."

Hun Tian Di Tian asked: "What about Hun Feng, what did he obtain?"

The Grand Elder replied: "Young Master Hun Feng, he obtained a High Level Heaven Class Wind Attribute Dou Qi Method called Spirit Sky Storm Wind Sutta! "

Hun Tian Di praised: "He chose a Heaven Class Technique that would last him a lifetime. What about Hun Yu Tong and Hun Jian Hao, what did they obtain?"

The Grand Elder answered, "Hun Yu Tong entered the Mysterious Ice Pavilion and obtained an Ice Attribute Heaven Class Dou Skill called Heaven Wind Yellow Fist Art. As for Hun Jian Hao, he did not obtain a Dou Qi Method nor a Dou Qi Skill, instead, he obtained a High Level Heaven Class Sword, the Qingfeng Sword.!"

"The Qingfeng Sword is suitable for him, it was a good choice." Hun Tian Di said flatly, it is hard to imagine such a refined and scholarly person become a ruthless character that destroys his Clan after 10 years!

Seeing that the Grand Elder did not intend to leave, he asked: "Why, is there anything else you need to tell me?"

The Grand Elder sighed softly, he felt heartache for Hun Han, Hun Tian Di had asked about his son Hun Feng, he had even asked about two outsiders, children who were not even his! Yet he had not even mentioned a word about Hun Han.

Is Hun Han not his son? Hun Fen, Hun Yu Tong and Hun Jian Hao, all of them have a Grade 10, Perfect Dou Di Bloodline, doesn't Hun Han also have such a Bloodline? Then why does Hun Tian Di show such blatant favouritism to his other son and even outsiders, yet such cruel indifference to his son, Hun Han?

The Grand Elder said: "Young Master Hun Han obtained a Rusty Iron Sword from the Body Refining Pavilion!"

Hun Tian Di finally curiously asked about Hun Han: "A Rusty Iron Sword?" What is the Book Collection Pavilion? It is a place that the Hun Clan stores treasures they have obtained over countless years, in such a place, how could there be a Rusty Iron Sword?

Besides, in such a place full of treasures, anyone with a brain would not choose a Rusty Iron Sword.

The Hun Clan Elder replied: "Yes. We have obtained treasures from the Ancient Era and placed them in the Book Collection Pavilion. But because of their age, those treasures have lost their original brilliance. After all, they come from the Ancient Era, so we stored them in the Body Refining Pavilion. We left them in a remote room in the Pavilion, I think Young Master Hun Han did not know what it was for and entered there and finally chose that Rusty Iron Sword!"

"Oh, so that's the case!" With his curiosity satisfied Hun Tian Di nodded, yet he still chose not to mention a word about Hun Han.

Hun Tian Di saw that the Grand Elder still did not intend to leave, so he asked again: "Anything else?"

The Grand Elder stated: "Patriarch, there was a battle at the Lake outside the Hun Realm a few days ago. 5 mysterious individuals and a Ban Sheng fought at the entrance of the Valley to the Hun Realm as well. And at the entrance to the Valley, we found that a Disciple from the Hun Clan had fought with someone else and left a 100 metre long, 20-metre wide ravine. Also, there has been no news thus far about Young Master Hun Han arriving and assuming his role in the Man Hall at the Dead Mountain Range!"

"Okay!"

Regarding this, Hun Tian Di still responded indifferently. However, he clenched his hand that was beneath the table, he asked: "Have you found out the identities of those involved in the battle?"

The Grand Elder stared at Hun Tian Di and replied: "After investigating the matter further, we found that the 5 individuals were from the Ninth Madam's Clan, they were fighting the Butterfly Soul Saint, Qin Lan."

The Grand Elder with his high rank and authority knew some hidden matters of the Dou Qi Continent, he remembered that the Butterfly Soul Saint was a close-knit maid of Hun Han's mother. Since Hun Han's mother's death, the Butterfly Soul Saint had never appeared again.

Even if it were a normal person, after knowing all this information, would know that Hun Han must have been involved in an assassination attempt, this caused the Butterfly Soul Saint to reveal herself and defend him. Yet even with her interference, there was no news of Hun Han's arrival at the Soul Hall's Man Hall at the Dead Mountain Range, leaving only one logical conclusion. That something had happened to Hun Han!

The Grand Elder stared at Hun Tian Di, he saw that Hun Tian Di's eyes did not show any change in emotion, they continued to remain indifferent. Helplessly, the Grand Elder continued: "As for the Hun Clan Disciple who had fought at the Valley and left a ravine, after further investigation, we found that his name is Hun Lie. As for who he was fighting, Hun Lie claimed that he was attacked by a Magic Beast. And that as a last resort, he killed the Magic Beast and left a ravine while doing so. Since the battle left no traces of the other party, we do not know if it was a Magic Beast or someone else."

"Hun Lie is not an ordinary person, he was going to be sent to the Northwest Region by the Hun Clan. Hun Lie has a 9 Star Dou Shi Cultivation Base, if he is from the Ninth Madam's Clan or Faction, then I am afraid that it was not a Magic Beast that he killed, but Young Master Hun Han! With the difference in their combat power, it is completely possible that Hun Lie turned the Dou Zhi Qi Stage Hun Han into ashes."

"Okay, is your report finished?" Hun Tian Di responded indifferently.

"Yes." The Hun Clan Grand Elder nodded.

"In that case, go and rest!" Hun Tian Di ordered.

When the Grand Elder was about to step out of the Palace, Hun Tian Di's voice rang again: "By the way, I remember that a few days ago, Li Pan'er found that 6 spies of the Gu Clan were in the Hun Realm. In tomorrow's meeting, I will announce that Li Pan'er is the Young Patriarch of the Hun Clan!"

"Uh!" The Grand Elder stared blankly at Hun Tian Di.

The Li Pan'er that Hun Tian Di mentioned is his child from his Ninth Wife. Since Hun Han had likely been killed by the Ninth Madam's plot, and Hun Tian Di has not fully investigated what happened a few days, instead of launching a full-scale investigation, he had appointed Ninth Madam's son, Hun Li Pan as the Young Patriarch.

Could it be that the Hun Tian Di did not like Young Master Hun Han as much as he thought he did?

...

In a magnificent room

"Mother, are you telling me that Hun Li Pan is going to be the Young Patriarch of the Hun Clan?" Hun Feng asked angrily while standing in front of a bed.

"Feng'er, for now, do not covet the position of Young Patriarch. Your father is young and powerful, and he has no intention to abdicate any time soon. It is not necessarily a good thing to become the Young Patriarch so early!" The middle-aged beautiful woman spoke calmly to Hun Feng.

"It is just that you promised me that the Young Patriarch Seat is mine!" Hun Feng continued to whine.

"You are wrong, Mother did not promise you the Young Patriarch's seat. Hun Feng, you must remember that the Patriarch seat is your goal!" The middle-aged beautiful woman scolded while looking at her son.

"Yes, mother!" Hun Feng seemed to be afraid of his mother. Seeing his mother speaking so seriously, he immediately nodded.

"Now then, are you sure you can do everything I told you?" The middle-aged beautiful woman asked.

"Yes, Mother I also want to tell you good news. Ninth Madam has succeeded, Hun Han has been killed by Hun Lie!" Hun Feng said with a smile.

"Really? That wild animal is finally dead?! Just like that whore mother of his, he died so easily." The middle-aged beautiful woman smiled.

"It is just that, mother, I need to give you some bad news too. According to our cronies, there were traces of a Teleportation Star Plate at the scene of the battle." Hun Feng added.

"What?!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged beautiful woman jumped off the bed and asked: "Are you sure?"

Hun Feng nodded and replied, "At least, that's what they told me. The spies said that when they reached the scene, they found traces of a Teleportation Star Plate!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged beautiful woman trembled with anger and said viciously: "Damn it, he actually gave the Teleportation Star Plate to that wild animal! He deceived me, deceived everyone! Even now he remembers that whore!!"
