Chapter 355: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes, Two Choices

Han Jue fell into hesitation.

Should he go over?

The only ones who knew the Divine Summoning Art were his Disciple and Dao Companion.

It was a once-in-a-millennium occurrence, so they must have encountered a big trouble.

Han Jue did not hesitate for long and decided to go.

A black vortex appeared in front of Han Jue. Sitting on the thirty-sixth grade samsara world-ending black lotus, he flew into it together.

Without a supreme treasure with him, he felt uneasy in his heart.

Even though he was already in the God Realm, he still remained cautious.

…

Within the dark world, blood Qi permeated, and the earth was covered with skeletons.

Fang Liang, Immortal God Ji, and Han Ming gathered together.

The three of them were trapped within a golden magic formation. Outside the formation, countless demons swarmed over, coming wave after wave, frantically impacting the golden magic formation in an attempt to break through it.

Various terrifying roars resounded through the world, deafening.

Immortal God Ji gritted his teeth and cursed, "Brat, can you really call your Grandmaster or not! If it really doesn't work, then I will use a forbidden technique!"

Fang Liang gritted his teeth and said, "If you cast the forbidden technique again, your soul will surely suffer heavy damage, and there will be no possibility of reaching the Emperor Realm. Furthermore, casting the forbidden technique might not necessarily allow us to escape."

He looked in all directions, grinding his teeth.

Han Ming stood behind the two of them, his expression changing unpredictably.

Just at this moment.

A patch of black vortex appeared above the heads of the three. Following closely, a burst of purple light descended, and the three of them revealed expressions of pleasant surprise.

Han Jue had really come!

A figure appeared within the purple light. He sat upon a lotus seat, his true appearance impossible to pry into, and the lotus seat could not be seen clearly either.

Immortal God Ji shouted, "Brother Guan Yu, you have finally come!"

Han Jue was stunned for a moment, almost forgetting this name of his.

He immediately checked the strongest person in the surroundings.

The strongest was only at the Emperor Realm. Han Jue couldn't even be bothered to remember his name; he was from the Demon Race.

Han Jue asked, "What is going on?"

Fang Liang said awkwardly, "This is the Demon Abyss. We were hunted down by the Demon Court and accidentally stumbled into this place. Grandmaster, I'm sorry, I originally didn't want to trouble you… But… there is one of your blood relatives here…"

Han Jue glanced sideways at Han Ming.

He could sense that Han Ming's Bloodline Qi was close to his, but he wasn't fond of it.

Han Jue's gaze condensed, and all the demons outside the golden light magic formation completely dissipated, just like clouds and smoke.

Immortal God Ji, Fang Liang, and Han Ming were stunned, completely dumbfounded.

Han Ming asked in astonishment, "They retreated?"

Fang Liang abruptly turned his head to look at Han Jue and said, "No, it was done by Grandmaster. Divine Thought!"

Han Jue said meaningfully, "You certainly know quite a bit. It seems you've had quite a few opportunities before."

He certainly hadn't forgotten that Fang Liang's soul had traveled through time to the primeval era. Heaven knows how long this brat had stayed in the primeval era.

Immortal God Ji asked in astonishment, "They're all dead? Then…"

"Hurry up and leave."

Han Jue interrupted, sounding somewhat impatient.

After speaking, he prepared to escape back into the black vortex.

"Wait! I am…"

Han Ming suddenly stepped forward and spoke.

Han Jue stopped and said, "I almost forgot about you."

With a wave of his right hand, Han Ming directly turned into a blood mist, splashing all over the ground, and two souls followed, falling into his hands.

Fang Liang and Immortal God Ji were not stupid either, instantly understanding the situation.

"Why does this fellow have two souls?" Immortal God Ji frowned.

Fang Liang said with sudden realization, "The guy just now was not Grandmaster's biological younger brother…"

Han Jue put the two souls into his palm, dropped a sentence, and then left:

"Remember, unless it is someone you know, do not easily trust others."

Han Jue then returned through the black vortex, going back into the Innate Cave Mansion.

The black vortex dissipated. Immortal God Ji and Fang Liang hurriedly left, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

On the way of fleeing, Immortal God Ji couldn't help asking, "What Realm is your Grandmaster at now?"

Fang Liang's expression was complex as he said, "At the very weakest, it's the God Realm, even stronger than an Immortal Emperor…"

"How is that possible… He came out of the same Mortal Realm as us, and he has never undergone Ascension."

"Perhaps my Grandmaster has an identity we have never known about."

"Oh? What identity?"

"I already said it's unknown. Are you a fool?"

"Brat, you are becoming increasingly audacious. Have you forgotten how I took care of you in the past?"

"Times have changed; you might not necessarily be my match."

"What a joke. Aside from hiding, can you defeat me?"

…

After returning to the Innate Cave Mansion, Han Jue called Enlightenment Sword outside. He flipped his right hand and released the two souls.

One of them was Han Ming, and the identity of the other person was unknown.

Han Jue used the Simulation Trial to detect his identity.

[Zhou Qianzi: Sixth-turn Immortal Emperor, Innate Human Race]

Han Jue looked at Zhou Qianzi and asked, "Why did you want to perform Possession on him?"

Zhou Qianzi trembled and said with a shivering voice, "I was just injured and wanted to temporarily reside in his Physical Body. I had no malicious intent…"

Han Ming looked at Han Jue with a complex expression, feeling even somewhat excited in his heart.

Formerly under the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor, Han Ming had always unconvinced by Han Jue. Later, after going out to gain experience, he finally understood the sinister nature of the human world.

Han Jue's appearance this time made him feel familial affection even more.

The most crucial thing was that Han Jue saw through Zhou Qianzi's disguise in an instant, making him full of admiration.

[Han Ming's Favorability toward you has increased. Current Favorability is 6 stars.]

Han Jue ignored this prompt, stared closely at Zhou Qianzi, and said, "Do you really think I will believe you? I have plenty of ways to make you confess."

He directly threw Zhou Qianzi into the thirty-sixth grade samsara world-ending black lotus.

"Ahhhhh—I'll talk! I'll talk! I am a Disciple of the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor!"

Zhou Qianzi screamed in terror, as if he had encountered the most terrifying torture in the world.

Following that, Han Jue released him.

Han Ming curiously stared at the thirty-sixth grade samsara world-ending black lotus. What on earth was hidden inside this black lotus?

Zhou Qianzi's soul trembled nonstop and he shouted, "The Reincarnation Immortal Emperor hoped to use your younger brother to find you, so I performed Possession on Han Ming in an attempt to get close to you. I was also forced by circumstances; it was all forced upon me by the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor!"

[Zhou Qianzi has developed hatred toward you. Current hatred degree is 5 stars.]

Han Jue's gaze condensed, and Zhou Qianzi's soul subsequently scattered.

He couldn't be bothered to ask more; as long as he knew who the mastermind behind the scenes was, that was enough.

Han Jue's gaze turned toward Han Ming.

Han Ming lowered his head, not daring to meet his gaze.

Everything before his eyes was telling him that Han Jue's strength far exceeded his imagination, and might even be as terrifying as the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor. Otherwise, why would the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor target Han Jue in such a roundabout way?

Han Jue hesitated.

How should Han Ming be dealt with?

Or should he just kill him?

But Han Ming didn't have any thoughts of harming him, and he had a blood relative relationship with his present life. Killing him directly would be too inhumane.

Han Jue calmly spoke, "You and I are actually very strangers. As for familial affection, I will not acknowledge it. I was abandoned since childhood. To put it bluntly, the reason you can live until today is because your value stems from me; otherwise, the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor wouldn't have raised you at all."

"I give you two choices. First, directly reincarnate. Your relationship with me will make you even more dangerous in the future, and the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor will still target you. I can think of a way to let you have a good reincarnation."

"Second, cultivate on the island and you must not reveal our relationship. Leave after the calamity ends. From then on, you and I will have no further ties. In the future, you and I will have even less of a brotherly relationship. If you threaten me, I will kill you."

Hearing this, Han Ming abruptly raised his head and said in a deep voice, "Then reincarnation it is! It's not like I want to curry favor with you!"
