Chapter 1014: Chapter 210 Leaving and Defending (7K)_3

But Li Hao’s calmness surprised her a bit.

“Senior, if we leave here, when can we return?”

Li Hao asked.

He didn’t forget the words of the middle-aged warrior saying that if one cultivates to True Immortal, it is impossible to return to the Land of All Saints unless a strong person opens the Mystical Gate or one cultivates to extremely strong strength.

“You can’t bear to leave?”

The Red Tassel Spear woman was a bit surprised. Being able to step into the True Realm is what countless people from the Fake Realm aspire to, yet he is reluctant to leave the Fake Realm.

“There are Immortal Emperor Fake Realm relics. Once I report this, a large army will definitely be dispatched to suppress it again, but I can’t guarantee the specific date—it might be immediately or it might be decades later.”

The Red Tassel Spear woman said.

After all, from Li Hao’s account, the Immortal Emperor relic only nurtured two or three monsters like Li Hao, indicating the conditions were not good. She would also report this truthfully.

Li Hao understood what had attracted the other party.

Suddenly, he regretted saying too little earlier. If he had said there were many, the upper echelons behind her would likely send someone immediately to liberate the Land of All Saints.

However, his false report might mark him for accountability in the future.

“Since that’s the case, I will wait for you here.”

Li Hao said, though he yearned to see the vastness inside the True Realm, he was more concerned about his friends in the Land of All Saints and acquaintances in the Mortal World compared to this unfamiliar place.

Ren Qianqian, Emperor Yu, Feng, Sword Master, and others.

Moreover, his cultivation method differed from others, so the loss wasn’t significant.

At Holy Level, he might be very dangerous in the True Realm, but in the Land of All Saints, with his current strength, he was absolutely safe.

“Brother, you…”

The middle-aged warrior was a bit dazed, unexpected that Li Hao, who had fought alongside him for three years, would choose to stay in this long-worn place he had grown tired of.

He was silent for a moment, suddenly realizing that Li Hao stayed here to fight with him, simply to accompany and assist him in breaking through the Ancient Road Battlefield.

He looked at Li Hao with complex emotions and said: “Brother, after three years together, I haven’t told you my name. I am Nangong Jian, and next time we meet, I will protect you!”

Upon hearing this, Li Hao smiled. Over three years, they never asked each other’s names but fought side by side multiple times, forming a genuine friendship.

“No problem.”

Li Hao responded with a smile.

“What about you?”

Nangong Jian asked.

“Haotian.”

Li Hao replied.

“Good, I’ll remember it.”

Nangong Jian silently remembered the name in his heart, then looked deeply at Li Hao.

“Are you sure you want to stay? Right now, there’s tension and war everywhere outside; in the worst case, it might be a long time before there’s enough power to clear this place completely.”

The Red Tassel Spear woman said seriously to Li Hao.

She knew that after countless years, a Fake Realm could only nurture two or three existences like Li Hao, indicating it was extremely barren.

Previously, they found other Immortal Emperor Fake Realms, some of which were already deserted, with hardly any Holy Level beings and very simplistic cultivation systems.

“Hmm, I can wait.”

Li Hao said.

Even in the True Realm, his cultivation speed wouldn’t increase much, instead facing various dangers. Rather, he might as well hide in the Land of All Saints, to deeply refine his many Artistic Skills.

If the seven Artistic Skills currently mastered were cultivated to the Tenth Stage, it would certainly be a huge improvement.

Moreover, in the Land of All Saints, no one can threaten him now.

Seeing Li Hao truly unmoved, the Red Tassel Spear woman shook her head slightly, thinking perhaps Li Hao stayed because of a special attachment to the Fake Realm due to being a descendant of the Immortal Emperor, unwilling to leave.

She didn’t persuade him further, only saying: “I will slay all of this Ancient Demon’s army, then send someone to guard the Mystical Gate, lest some Ancient Demon attack and consume it. This empty battlefield may soon be occupied by other Ancient Demons; you better return to the Immortal Emperor Fake Realm soon.”

Regarding this Immortal Emperor bloodline, she didn’t want to see Li Hao in trouble.

Saying this, she gave Nangong Jian a glance, then turned to leave.

“Brother, wait for me.”

Nangong Jian said earnestly to Li Hao.

He was already at the bottleneck of True Immortal and believed that once he reached outside, soon he would break through to become a True Monarch, when he could personally welcome Li Hao.

Before leaving, Nangong Jian went to the bronze chariot and took out the neatly stacked bones inside.

“Brothers, I’m here to take you home!”

Looking at those bones, Nangong Jian’s eyes were moist, and he was emotionally moved.

The Red Tassel Spear woman, seeing so many white bones, her expression changed slightly. Though she was eager to return, she remained silent and didn’t urge Nangong Jian, watching him carefully store all those bones in his Heaven and Earth Space.

“Let’s go.”

Nangong Jian stored the bones, leaving the bronze chariot and said to the Red Tassel Spear woman.

Afterward, he turned and gave Li Hao one last glance.

Li Hao waved his hand to say goodbye.

Soon, Nangong Jian and the Red Tassel Spear woman disappeared from Li Hao’s sight.

Before leaving, Nangong Jian glanced at the meat of the Ancient Demon Commander, giving Li Hao a look. He didn’t expose Li Hao’s ability to cook Ancient Demons, keeping it a secret.

He knew how astonishing this means was—if exposed, Li Hao and his backing forces might become coveted treasures, but if without backing forces, he could become a puppet piece manipulated!
