Chapter 1143: Time Ring
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The City of Justice, as well as the surrounding islands, had established trial battlefields.
The so-called trial battlefields were actually the beaches of the City of Justice and the surrounding villages and towns. According to the distance from the sea, they were divided into different levels.
For example, the reef beach could be called one of the lowest trial battlefields.
Han Fei’s idea was very simple. The later generations could go directly to sea to fish, but there was no so-called safe area in the sea at this time.
Therefore, he simply adopted the fighting style of the Scattered Stars Island.
Of course, after they drafted various policies, Han Fei and Ximen Linglan went to sea again. The reason was simple. The resources of the Avenger had been consumed by more than 60% a month after the establishment of the City of Justice..
The low taxation in the City of Justice could only maintain a daily supply and demand balance.
The Avenger fleet was like ghosts swimming on the sea. They would return once a year. Under normal circumstances, other ships would return, but the main ship wouldn’t.
As for Jia Wuxing, because he had broken through to be an Explorer, he was left to supervise in the city, which made him very frustrated.
At this moment, it was about the end of the year. The ten accompanying ships had mostly gone back once.
Unlike the former fleet of the Avenger, the current fleet’s array had changed. A powerful embryonic ship had appeared. This was all thanks to Han Fei.
Han Fei was carving arrays at the bottom of the ship, and no creatures dared to approach him.
Ximen Linglan appeared beside Han Fei. “The big clans seem to be really quiet now. After many collisions with the City of Justice, it’s said that the big clans have moved to the north.”
Han Fei said casually, “No, it’s just the big clans’ forbearance. I said that we have 500 years, but in fact, it would be good if we have 50 years. If those Venerables recover, the big clans will definitely infiltrate the City of Justice again.”
“50 years? So soon?”
Han Fei smiled and said, “For Venerables, 50 years is nothing. If necessary, let alone 50 years, they can even endure 500 or 5,000 years. Although I have the support of the people, there are still too few strong masters. You need to make a breakthrough as soon as possible.”
Ximen Linglan frowned. “As long as I can completely devour the Dao runes of those Venerables, it’s only a matter of time for me to become a peak-level law enforcer. 50 years, maybe.”
Han Fei said with a smile, “Don’t underestimate your potential. The quality of spiritual heritage only decided the speed of your cultivation. However, diligence makes up for weakness. You have the bones of Venerables, so it’s impossible for you to be slower than those Heavenly Talents. What’s important is to enter the peak-level Explorer realm and the Venerable realm. That’s what you need to pay attention to. Your Great Dao has been confirmed. Becoming a peak-level Explorer is no problem for you. Breaking through to the Venerable realm is the key to you.”
Ximen Linglan said indifferently, “What about you? Are you suppressing your realm again?”
Han Fei chuckled. “I’m used to it.”
Ximen Linglan asked in confusion, “I’ve never understood why you’re suppressing your realm. If you become an Explorer, I’m afraid few Explorers can match you.”
Han Fei thought to himself, If I continue to make breakthroughs, there will be too many things that will change. At this moment, the City of Justice has just been on the track. I dare not!
Han Fei smiled. “Because I walk a different path. This path is extremely difficult. I have to perfect every realm.”
Ximen Linglan’s eyes were solemn. “So difficult to walk on? What is it?”
Han Fei glanced at her and said casually, “Invincible.”
Ximen Linglan felt like a mountain was slamming against her chest. Invincible? In this world, who dared to say that he was invincible? If Han Fei wanted to take this path, didn’t it mean he wanted to take the path of the strongest?
However, after witnessing Han Fei’s many miracles, she felt that Han Fei had always been the strongest.
“I believe you. I’ll wait for you to become a Venerable and even a King. However, we have plenty of time. We should go back now.”
“Um!”
…
At the port of the City of Justice.
Someone was running wildly at the port. “The Avenger is back.”
A large group of law enforcers and Hidden Fishers followed and came to welcome them.
Everyone shouted in unison, “Welcome back to the city, City Lord.”
Jia Wuxing stood on the deck. “How is it? Captain, Marshal Han, is there anyone breaking through to be an Explorer? Guarding the city every day, I feel my brain is already rusty.”
A thin man among the crew members of the Avenger was pushed out. He looked helpless.
Jia Wuxing roared, “Yang Xiaogao, you’re already an Explorer? Good, good. From today on, you’ll be in charge of the city. I’m going back to my ship. Hahaha, you’re truly my good brother.”
Yang Xiaogao was speechless. “No, Old Jia! You’re so familiar with the City of Justice. I can’t do it!”
Jia Wuxing said angrily, “That’s bulls * it. I don’t do anything except to sign documents and check inventory every day. Anyone can do this job. If you’re my bro, take over this job. I promise I’ll have a new explorer replace you next year.”
Ximen Linglan said with a black face, “Okay, you’re too loud. Anything big happened in the city this year?”
Jia Wuxing waved his hand. “Captain, don’t worry. Nothing happened. Marshal Han’s plan is being carried out as planned. This year, we had 356 new Law Enforcers and 3108 new Hidden Fishers. We can’t remember the rest. Anyway, many people have improved. This is all because of you and Marshal Han.”
Han Fei was satisfied with the data. It was already unbelievable that so many strong masters could be born in a year in such an era.
Of course, this was the first year, and the effect of a large number of resources integrating was not necessarily so good in the future.
Ximen Linglan’s eyes lit up, and she looked at Han Fei. “So many.”
Han Fei smiled casually. “It doesn’t matter. This is only the first year. In ten years, Explorers will definitely emerge.”
Jia Wuxing shouted, “It’s a pity that becoming an Explorer has to pass the heavenly tribulation. This year, three people took the heavenly tribulation and all died.”
Han Fei frowned and said, “Next time someone wants to pass a heavenly tribulation, ask him to hold it back for a year, and we’ll help him transcend it when the Avenger returns.”
Jia Wuxing nodded quickly and suddenly said, “Oh, by the way, Marshal Han, do you know a person named Cao Xuan? This person said that he had your father’s last wish and belongings to give to you. However, he insisted on seeing you. I simply locked him in the city lord’s mansion.”
Ximen Linglan asked in surprise, “Who are you talking about? Wang Han’s father?”
Han Fei frowned. “Take me there.”
The city lord’s mansion.
Cao Xuan was not in a hurry. He knew that as long as Marshal Han didn’t return to the Great Wilderness Village, he would definitely not find what his father left him. This was an opportunity. He had to see Marshal Han in person.
Besides, although he stayed in the city lord’s mansion, the rich spiritual energy in the city lord’s mansion could help him continue to polish his realm. Once he became a Hidden Fisher, he would definitely not be weak.
Buzz!
Suddenly, three figures appeared in Cao Xuan’s yard.
Jia Wuxing shouted, “Marshal Han, it’s this kid. He doesn’t trust me and refuses to give me anything.”
Cao Xuan was shocked. If he guessed right, this young man and the cold and arrogant woman were Marshal Hani and the city lord.
Cao Xuan rose quickly and said respectfully, “Cao Xuan greets the city lord and Marshal Han.”
Han Fei said casually, “You said you had my father’s belongings?”
What Han Fei could think of was the wooden turtle and the bag of things that he forgot to take away before he left.
Cao Xuan hurriedly said, “A year ago, I received a teaching task in the Great Wilderness Village. Because the former residence of the city lord and Marshal Han became a place people yearned for, I boldly moved into Marshal Han’s home and accidentally discovered a secret. Marshal Han, I don’t think you know.”
Han Fei’s pupils constricted slightly. “Where is it?”
Cao Xuan quickly said, “The thing is actually on me. I’ve been carrying it with me.”
Jia Wuxing was stunned. “That’s impossible. I’ve checked it out.But I didn’t find anything!”
Cao Xuan smiled in embarrassment. “Actually, it’s nothing special. So, Master Jia didn’t notice it.”
As he spoke, Cao Xuan took out the letter and the ring from a table in his room.
Jia Wuxing was lost for words. “Why didn’t you hide something so important?”
Han Fei patted Jia Wuxing’s shoulder and said, “You don’t understand. The most dangerous place is the safest place. Your attention has been placed on the most valuable places on him.”
When Han Fei saw the ring, his pupils constricted. Is this… the Time Ring?
He had always neglected a problem. He thought that it was his soul that transmigrated through the time, but why did the Time Ring follow him here? But now seeing the Time Ring, he immediately realized something.
Silently, Han Fei put away the ring and opened the letter.
Ximen Linglan and Jia Wuxing were both looking at Han Fei, because Han Fei was frowning.
In fact, Han Fei’s mind was filled with thousands of thoughts: Since it was in the Reincarnation Soul Realm, it wasn’t a surprise that he was picked up.
He had been thinking, How can I get out of the Reincarnation Soul Realm? However, at this moment, he suddenly thought of the simplest question. Did he really come to the Reincarnation Soul Realm?
After all, the top five Soul Realms all had a way to leave.
However, he didn’t know how to return to the Reincarnation Soul Realm. Many of the geniuses of the big clans in the Thousand Star City had entered the secret realm, but had he ever encountered one?
“No, not once, and not even any trace.”
At this moment, Han Fei was thinking, The Beast King and the others said that the Time River is extremely difficult to cross. Then, what if the Time River and the normal Reincarnation Soul Realm are two different places?
Han Fei suddenly took a deep breath. The entrance he came in… was inside the Fifth Soul Realm!
At this moment, when he saw the Time Ring, Han Fei thought of the Time Dragon Carp. Could it be that what he accidentally entered was not one of the Soul Realms?
If that was the case, would anything happen if he put on this Time Ring? Could it be that this was the way out?
Ximen Linglan: “What’s wrong?”
Han Fei gave the letter to Ximen Linglan without hesitation.
Under the stunned gaze of Ximen Linglan, Han Fei looked at Cao Xuan and said lightly, “Yes, it’s quite important. I can give you a few choices. One is to board the Avenger, but I won’t give you any compensation; the second is to teach you a heaven-level divine-quality body refining technique; the third is for you to bring it up.”
Han Fei knew that Cao Xuan must have been waiting for him for a full year for something. This was human nature. But he didn’t know when he had become someone else’s opportunity.
The Time Ring Cao Xuan brought was indeed extremely important. He was willing to give this opportunity to him.
Cao Xuan immediately perked up and straightened his body.
Get on the Avenger? Not a random person could board it. It was said that no one on the Avenger was weak.
However, the heaven-level divine-quality body-refining technique was also very desirable.
Even if he took the third choice, he could ask for a large number of resources. Considering Marshal Han and the city lord’s generous personality, as long as they could afford it, they would definitely pay.
However, Cao Xuan saw the hope of becoming a real powerhouse from the first choice. Compared to the temptation of the latter two, which was only temporary, if he could enter the Avenger…
Cao Xuan’s eyes were firm. “I choose to board the Avenger.”
Jia Wuxing rubbed his head and immediately shouted, “Boy, if you choose the latter two, I really want to slap you to death. Do you even need to think about it? Damn it, you are definitely the weakest one on the Avenger.”
…
Since the rise of the City of Justice, human beings had been living a better life. Besides, the fancy city planning had revived the city and the surrounding villages.
The reef beach had become a place for the youths of the Great Wilderness Village to cultivate. And this cultivation had changed from the initial training to actual combat. There would be strong masters who took over related missions to come to supervise and prevent accidents.
After a year of development, a bounty hall was built next to the village leader’s home. All kinds of bounty missions began to gradually change from the city to the village.
The people in the City of Justice were no longer confined to the City of Justice. Instead, they would travel to the surrounding villages and towns to see if there were suitable missions.
On this morning.
In the Great Wilderness Village, under the peach trees at Han Fei’s door.
Hearing the noise outside, Yu Shuai impatiently pushed the door open and said angrily, “What are you all shouting about? The trial will start in half an hour… Huh, who are you?”
Yu Shuai suddenly saw a man and a woman standing under the peach trees at the door. The woman was standing and her momentum was daunting.
The man was squatting and carving a stone tablet. However, there were no words on the tablet. There were complicated lines drawn on it, which looked like an array.
The man looked back at him, and Yu Shuai instantly shivered and exclaimed, “I am Yu Shuai. Nice to meet you, Marshal Han. Nice to meet you, City Lord Xi’men.”
Yu Shuai broke into a cold sweat.
A year ago, he had watched the whole process of the Avenger entering the city! Didn’t the teachers all live in Han Fei’s home? Why were these two here?
“Huh? City Lord?”
“Marshal Han? Are you Marshal Han?”
“Wow! I’ve met Marshal Han!”
The children were in an uproar. What they idolized most now was Marshal Han, because the people on the Avenger bragged most about Han Fei’s story.
After all, Han Fei was more violent. He could tear apart strong enemies with his bare hands.
Whoosh!
The children ran and shouted, “Marshal Han is here, Marshal Han is here.”
Han Fei smiled and carved a name with both hands: Wang Lun.
Han Fei put the stele down and put half of it in the soil. He said with a smile, “It’s okay. You can continue to live here. I probably won’t come back.”
Yu Shuai didn’t dare to speak either, mainly because he didn’t know what to say.
Han Fei glanced at the big house next door and said lightly, “Let’s take a look!”
Ximen Linglan nodded slightly.
Han Fei stepped on the array, and mysterious lines appeared. Assisted with a Spirit Gathering Array, a small array was formed after about a hundred seconds.
However, Yu Shuai did not dare to underestimate this array. The spiritual energy here instantly became several times more intense. Furthermore, he could see with his naked eye that there was a knife intent circulating in the array. It was a killing array.
Outside the killing array, there was a barrier. This barrier alone was not something ordinary people could break.
And this was just to guard a stele.
When Yu Shuai was still looking at the stele in a daze, and when the group of children were still excited and thinking whether to come up to greet Marshal Han, they saw the two of them disappear with a swish.
Next door, the library was still closed, but an old man was already sitting on a chair, his face expressionless.
When he saw Han Fei and Ximen Linglan, the old man looked up with a smile. “Miss, you’re awesome. You’ve become the city lord.”
Ximen Linglan’s eyes were complicated. “Grandpa Xu, I just learned that you actually have the strength of a peak-level Hidden Fisher.”
The old man laughed. “It doesn’t matter. Wang Han, have you awakened your spiritual senses?”
Han Fei nodded slightly and cast the Divine Healing Technique on the old man, but it didn’t work.
The old man shook his head and said, “Don’t waste your effort. My injury has existed for too long. It can’t be treated. Besides, I was injured by a very strong cultivator. Only the strength of a Venerable can heal it.”
Ximen Linglan suddenly said, “So, Grandpa Xu, you knew everything back then?”
The old man grinned and said, “Wang Lun used to be a soldier under me and once asked me to take a look at this boy. When I came, I found out that this boy is very talented. Wang Lun once measured his Spiritual Heritage: Level Seven. But when I came to take a look, his Spiritual Heritage was Level Nine. However, when the Ximen family persecuted you, I came here with you, thinking that if this boy rose to prominence, Miss could rely on him.”
The old man said leisurely, “But I didn’t expect that as soon as we came, you two met…”
The old man rambled on for a long time before slowly saying, “The big clans won’t give up. Miss, you haven’t grown enough. Only when you are no longer afraid of Venerables can you really defend the City of Justice.”
Ximen Linglan nodded. “Even if I can’t, Wang Han can.”
The old man was noncommittal and said lightly, “Go back! The City of Justice has just risen. I’m still waiting for its glory.”
Ximen Linglan said, “Grandpa Xu, are you not going back with us?”
The old man chuckled. “The Great Wilderness Village is good, really good. I didn’t die on the sea before, so I can live the rest of my life in peace. Miss, can you bear to let me go back?”
“Someone can take care of you.”
The old man shook his head. “I won’t cause trouble for others. Everyone has their own things to do. The same goes for me. If a sea demon dares to set foot in the Great Wilderness Village in the future, I can still kill him.”
Han Fei smiled. “Not bad.”
The old man looked at Han Fei with a smile. “Right? You know me… Go about your business. I’ll wait and see.”
The children who came later didn’t see Han Fei and Ximen Linglan again. Instead, the tombstone and peach trees in front of Han Fei’s house became the holy land for future generations, and many people came to observe.
After leaving the Great Wilderness Village, Han Fei and Ximen Linglan only stayed in the City of Justice for three days to make arrangements for the city planning before going to sea again.
…
Twelve years later.
In the sea outside the City of Justice, Yi Yue flew over. “Captain, it’s the Dongfang family’s ship. They seem to have encountered a great demon in the Explorer realm and are fighting.”
Ximen Linglan’s eyes were cold. “Everyone, sail there and grab it.”
Yi Yue was already a peak-level law enforcer. She sneered and said, “It’s only been 12 years, but they have already begun to take action. They have repeatedly crossed the line. Especially in the past two years, they have snatched many of our resources.”
Ximen Linglan said, “This is the nature of big clans. Now they are just scrambling for resources. Once they have enough confidence to plunder resources, internal conflicts will start.”
Han Fei flew over from a big black ship and said indifferently, “The City of Justice has already grown into a scale. They just want to pick the fruits of our labor. The civil war will last for a few years at most, but the current City of Justice is no longer what it used to be. Once they succeed, as long as the existing pattern remains unchanged, they have hundreds of years to slowly make people forget the existence of the Avenger.”
“Cough!”
Han Fei’s body shook slightly, and seeing this, Ximen Linglan’s heart trembled, and she quickly asked, “How are you doing?”
Han Fei shook his head. “I’m fine. It’s probably just some of my remaining memories.”
Ximen Linglan said, “Is it because you can’t suppress your realm anymore?”
Han Fei smiled. “Not bad, not bad. After this matter is over, I’ll go to the Grand Myriad Mountains and have the beast king give me a body check.”
Ximen Linglan nodded. “I’ll go with you.”
Han Fei waved his hand. “No need. You should guard the Avenger. I’ll be back soon. Ten days at most.”
On the other side, huge waves were surging, and knife light filled the sky. A Clam Girl was fighting a human.
“Hey! How many years has it been since the battle of the Venerables ended? How dare you come to the human domain? Your shell is not bad. I’m taking it.”
The Clam Girl had no desire to continue fighting and retreated while fighting.
Suddenly, the Clam Girl was shocked. She put away the long silk in her hand and closed the shell.
Shua!
However, she was one step too late. A black light appeared instantly and rushed in before the clam shell closed.
“Ahhh~”
A shrill scream came from the clam, “Don’t eat me ~”
On the other side, Dongfang Ming’s expression changed drastically. The saber beam slashed at the void, facing the two scimitars.
Crack!
“What? An advanced Explorer, Ximen Linglan?”
“Roar!”
A hundred beasts appeared in the sky, and a thought flashed in Dongfang Ming’s mind. “Wang Han is here too. Has the Avenger arrived?”
Splash!
A huge Blood Shadow Shark, with thousands of bloody marks appearing in the air, seemed to be blocking Han Fei and Ximen Linglan.
However, he was only an intermediate Explorer. How could he be a match for these two? Han Fei used the Draw Technique with irresistible force, and the Void Lines directly grabbed the Blood Shadow Shark.
As for Ximen Linglan, who was already an advanced Explorer, she turned into a mist and entered the battlefield, her double blades instantly piercing through Dongfang Ming.
“Pfft!”
Chi la!
Half of Dongfang Ming’s body exploded, but he managed to block the attack with the Blood Shadow Shark.
Of course, his spiritual beast died in the end. The battle between the strong ended in the blink of an eye, not to mention that he was ambushed by two strong masters.
Dongfang Ming shouted, “Ximen Linglan, the big clans have already moved away. There’s no need to kill anyone to compete for resources, right?”
Han Fei turned the Infinity Water into a knife and instantly cut through the void that had just been torn apart by Dongfang Ming. He said coldly, “I’ll kill anyone who dares to cross the boundary. Recently, many boats from the City of Justice have disappeared. You did it, right? Kill.”
Han Fei’s voice rumbled like thunder, echoing hundreds of kilometers away. Nobody dared to approach him.
“Wang Han, you are instigating a war.”
“Roar!”
What responded to him was still the Hundred Beast Soul Subduing Roar. When the black fog poured over and the two parties slashed again, Dongfang Ming had no chance to speak anymore and died.
On the other side, Yi Yue had already led her people into the enemy’s ship to wipe them out.
As for the Clam Girl, at the moment Little Black swallowed her, Han Fei sensed Little Black was in danger and immediately took Little Black back.
“Humph! Go to hell.”
Han Fei’s Sacrificing Punch erupted, and terrifying energy dispersed, blasting the Clam Girl into the seabed.
Hum!
When Han Fei was about to attack again, energy escaped from his only major acu-point, making Han Fei’s body tremble slightly.
Seeing this scene, Ximen Linglan said, “I’ll do it. You take a rest.”
Han Fei frowned. He knew that he couldn’t hold it anymore.
“Alas, I can’t hold on much longer.”
