Upon arriving in the Outer Sect Area, Han Li gathered his descendants and spoke of the plans to relocate to Yuanzhou. He also mentioned his intentions to cultivate his offspring before letting them make their choice.

Since Han Yongfan and the others had mediocre aptitudes, merely seventh and eighth grade, Han Li did not force them; staying at Tianxuan Mountain might not necessarily be a bad thing.

For descendants like Han Yonglin and Han Yongyun, who had fifth and sixth-grade aptitudes, Han Li intended to take all of them to Yuanzhou for careful cultivation.

After some consideration, Han Yongfan and the others unanimously agreed, willing to relocate with the family to Yuanzhou.

Previously, Han Li hadn’t managed them directly, only sending them to train at Tianxuan Mountain, where their aptitudes weren’t valued highly and the competition was fierce, leaving them with few resources.

Now, each of them had reached the Third Realm, which was much faster than the pace at which Han Li had cultivated in his younger years, mainly due to the many resources provided by the Han Family.

If they didn’t follow the family, being too far away, the Han Family wouldn’t be able to continue providing cultivation resources, and they would merely be ordinary Foreign Disciples at Tianxuan Mountain with slow cultivation progress.

If they followed the family to Yuanzhou, with their current cultivation levels, they would certainly receive focused training from “old Dad”.

In the Han Family, their aptitudes were among the best, or else they wouldn’t have been sent to Tianxuan Mountain in the first place. Returning to the family would mean concentrated resources on them, which was much better than staying on Tianxuan Mountain.

Han Li naturally understood their thoughts and did not say much; aside from those few with fifth and sixth-grade aptitudes, their talents were the best, and he could provide them with substantial cultivation support.

Afterward, with a wave of his hand, Han Li used Gang Yuan to lift Han Yongfan and the others, disappearing from Tianxuan Mountain.

Traveling rapidly all the while, Han Li led them on the journey. Along the way, he inquired about his children’s recent conditions, understanding their difficulties and any questions they had about cultivation.

When Han Li stopped, they had already returned to Lingjun City, where, with another wave of his hand, he placed Han Yongfan and the others on the plaza of the Han Mansion.

After looking around several times to confirm that this was indeed Lingjun City’s Han Mansion, Han Yongfan and the others were astounded.

Because Han Li had rarely interacted with them previously, his current attentiveness to their well-being and inquiries about their conditions filled them with joy and excitement, to the point that they lost track of time.

Now reflecting on it, they realized that not much time had passed, less than half a day, and they had already returned to their family!

Such incredible speed; just how high was their father’s cultivation?

At least the Great Masters of the Gangyuan Realm did not possess this speed; was their father already at the exalted God Refining Realm?

The God Refining Realm masters were few and far between even on Tianxuan Mountain, holding positions of high prestige as Elders, and Han Yongfan and the others had hardly ever seen one.

Han Yongfan and the others wanted confirmation but did not dare to ask outright, their hearts brimming with joy at their good fortune in returning with their father.

If their father truly was a God Refining Realm master, the Han Family would become a powerful Cultivation Family in the future, and they, as children of a God Refining Realm master, would enjoy access to an abundance of cultivation resources, making their future prospects to reach the Gangyuan Realm highly promising.

“Prepare yourselves. We will relocate in ten days,”

Han Li left this message and then left the central plaza to return to the back courtyard.

Just as he had deliberately revealed his cultivation when he left, he also intentionally displayed it upon returning, aiming to bolster the family’s confidence and reduce external troubles.

As the days went by, Han Mansion staff from the outside gradually returned and preparations for the relocation were steadily completed. The members of the Han Family were both apprehensive and hopeful about the future.

They had lived in Lingjun City for decades, formed emotional attachments, and created many familiar relationships, all of which they were now bidding farewell during this time.

Traveling from Leizhou, crossing Qingzhou and Jizhou to reach Yuanzhou was a long journey with an uncertain future. They felt uneasy, worried about the dangers they might encounter along the way.

They were filled with anticipation for the future, as Han Li had already promised, after migrating to Yuanzhou, all benefits would be significantly increased.

The news of the Han Family’s migration had also spread throughout Lingjun City and even throughout Fengyang Manor. No one knew why the ancestor of the Han Mansion, renowned for taking in concubines, had decided to migrate.

Could it be that Leizhou had too many beauties for taking in as concubines, and he wanted to change his taste by going to Yuanzhou?

The impact of the Han Mansion’s migration was immense, involving all aspects, from the Mortal World to the Cultivation Realm. There had been close attention paid to this matter lately.

Upon learning the news, the ordinary citizens of Lingjun City were dumbstruck. The Han Mansion absolutely couldn’t migrate. What would they do if the Han Mansion left?

The ancestor of the Han Family took several, even a dozen concubines each year. Every time he took a concubine, he would hold a three-day banquet with an endless stream of dishes, allowing them to eat meat and fish for free, and lead a good life.

In the hearts of the citizens of Lingjun City, the ancestor of the Han Family was like a god descended to earth, bringing them good fortune. If the Han Mansion moved away, they would no longer enjoy free banquets.

In recent days, a large number of people had come to the outside of the Han Mansion to plead, requesting that the Han Mansion not move away and beseeching the ancestor of the Han Family to love them once more.

Among them were ordinary citizens, as well as many who had benefited from weddings hosted by the Han Family, and merchants who had business dealings with the Han Family…

The voices were loud, and some even employed moral coercion, but they could not influence the decision of the Han Mansion. Han Li simply didn’t care. Did they really think he was a philanthropist?

For decades, it could be said that at least a million people in Lingjun City had benefitted from the grace of the Han Mansion. Han Li asked for no return, but he absolutely would not allow them to overstep their bounds.

For the forces in Lingjun City, however, this was a great opportunity. With the Han Mansion, the overlord of Lingjun City gone, they could divide up the various benefits left by the Han Mansion and indulge to their heart’s content.

With the Han Mansion no longer there to dominate, they would have more room for development and wouldn’t have to worry about the issue of beautiful female cultivators with qualifications. It was a concern they had harbored previously.

The ancestor of the Han Family continuously took beautiful female cultivators with qualifications as concubines, and his descendants also chose beautiful women when taking wives and concubines. Some beautiful women cultivators with inferior qualifications were willing to marry into the Han Family’s descendants.

Who could blame them? The Han Family was powerful with many strong members, and their descendants had good genes, right?

Now things were looking up. After the Han Mansion moved, Lingjun City would belong to them. One could imagine that for a while in the future, Lingjun City would erupt in strife, filling the power vacuum left by the Han Family’s departure.

The other forces in Fengyang Manor were just watching the drama unfold. The Han Mansion’s decision to move had nothing to do with them, and they couldn’t gain any benefits, so they were just going to sit back and enjoy the show.

Some forces with interests tied to the Han Mansion felt helpless. After the Han Mansion moved away, they naturally could no longer receive spirit pills, weapons, and other cultivation resources, and they were also unable to interfere with the Han Mansion’s decision.

Then there were those related to the Han Mansion through marriage, such as the families of Han Li’s beautiful concubines. They were quite depressed and had sent quite a few people to the Han Mansion recently to contact those concubines.

To have them whisper sweet nothings and persuade the ancestor of the Han Family not to migrate, or if he must migrate, at least to another manor within Leizhou.

These families and forces had offered their daughters as concubines to Han Li in hopes of clinging to his coattails and relying on the strength and influence of the Han Mansion. Now that the Han Mansion was moving to Yuanzhou, their plans had fallen through.

For these marital ally families and forces, Han Li still had arrangements. He hadn’t truly abandoned them, although it was impossible to take them all with him.

Han Li bestowed upon each marital ally family numerous spirit pills and weapons, most of which were ungraded, a small portion were Ninth Grade, and some Eighth Grade spirit pills and weapons, as well as formations.

All these could enhance the strength of the marital ally families and accelerate their development.

For Han Li, these were trivial matters, but they could give his concubines peace of mind and ensure their undivided loyalty.

As for Seventh Grade spirit pills and Spiritual Artifacts, Han Li had also refined quite a few, but he did not bestow them upon these marital ally families. They lacked the strength to protect these treasures, which would only invite endless trouble, and could even lead to their annihilation.
