Upon hearing this, Wang the Master felt a sudden jolt in his heart, and began to worry internally. The day before, when he and other senior officials received the notice from Li Feiyu that Han Li would come to Luoyi Peak at noon the following day, some of them immediately proposed to take preventive measures during the meeting—perhaps even to eliminate Han Li outright—on the grounds that he was too dangerous and difficult to manage. However, this suggestion was vigorously opposed by another group, who argued that such a move would be too risky and could easily backfire if unsuccessful, and insisted that they first engage in talks and then make a decision. Those who wished to act immediately countered with strong objections, citing the risk of leaks due to prolonged delays and the growing uncertainty over time. In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that the claim of Han Li's danger was merely a pretext—what truly motivated certain individuals was their desire to secure Han Li's cultivation techniques and gain benefits from him. Even those who opposed taking action likely harbored the same thoughts, merely expressing them with more gentle and subtle methods. Facing the Master of the Palace, the two parties argued fiercely, their faces flushed with passion, and by the time the meeting was about to conclude, neither had convinced the other—still passionately disputing. Finally, it was the surviving senior disciple in gray robes who could bear it no longer. With a calm statement, he silenced the room instantly. "Have you not considered that once you've eliminated this Doctor Han, his elders will surely come knocking?" This single remark acted like a bucket of cool water, instantly refreshing the overheated senior leaders. "Indeed! This young doctor is already so accomplished. There must surely be senior immortals behind him. If we abruptly eliminate him now, what will become of us when his elders arrive—to say nothing of the fact that we ourselves would have no place to retreat to!" "Only after realizing that the harm done to this Han physician—indeed, the very cause of his death—had been inflicted upon himself did those who originally advocated taking decisive action all change their stance. Though a couple of self-interested individuals still attempted to hold firm, the consensus had settled on a gentle and respectful approach toward Han Li. Now, upon hearing Han Li suddenly utter such a profound remark, Wang Men-zhu naturally felt a bit uneasy, suspecting that he possessed extraordinary insight—perhaps having learned of the arguments from yesterday—and thus was issuing a warning to him. Nevertheless, Wang Jue-chu, as the head of the sect for many years, had both depth and experience far beyond the ordinary. He quickly recovered from the influence of the Heavenly Eye Technique and regained his composed demeanor. 'Why, Doctor Han, have you said this? Our entire sect holds you in the highest regard and is deeply grateful to you,' Wang Jue-chu thoughtfully assessed, deciding to further gauge the tone of Han Li's response. 'But I've heard, isn't it true, that someone intends to do me harm?' Han Li smiled faintly and replied calmly. Master Wang was initially startled, but upon seeing that Han Bing showed signs of being about to become angry, he gradually eased his concerns. Since the other party had not spoken in an angry tone and had come alone to see him, it seemed that Han might only have heard rumors, not full knowledge of the meeting's details. This suggested that there was still room for reconciliation between the two sides. "Han Physician may have misunderstood the situation. Indeed, yesterday our door did have several traitors who sought to forget their obligations and betray us. But please rest assured—these individuals have already been apprehended and are under strict supervision. After all, the majority of our members still hold deep gratitude toward Doctor Han and would never act in a way that favored the enemies while causing pain to the allies." Master Wang, after weighing the situation carefully, delivered these words with a sense of principled determination. Don't think that showing kindness to others will necessarily earn them gratitude—after all, human hearts are the most difficult to read. To those who consider themselves important figures, it's quite ordinary for them to be ungrateful and utterly indifferent to their obligations, as if it were as common as drinking water. This is one of the reasons Han Li stayed closed doors after returning to the valley—he deliberately allowed these senior figures to cool down, so that their ambition wouldn't burn out their rational judgment. Later, when Li Feiyu delivered a message to meet with the senior leaders, Han Li made no intention of attending their scheduled meetings. Even though his current strength far exceeds that of ordinary martial artists, if the others employed underhanded tactics, there would be countless ways to eliminate him. For safety's sake, he had specifically arranged to meet with the Master of the Wang Gate a full half-day earlier, secretly and alone. Yet just now, he had only lightly probed the other party, and already Wang Door Master had revealed his vulnerabilities—clearly, these senior figures of the Qi Xu Sect have seriously considered taking action against him. But that matters little! Whether they truly intend to act or merely wish to consider it, he will remain calm and undisturbed. For once he completes this transaction with this leading figure of the Qi Xu Sect, he will depart far away, cutting all ties with them. "I've already said this!" said Han Li, gazing steadily at Wang Juewu for a moment before suddenly speaking in a mysterious tone. "I assure you, after meeting you today, I will leave this place and journey to distant lands—possibly never returning to Caixia Mountain again. Before my departure, I would like to strike a mutually beneficial agreement with the Door Master." "An agreement?" Wang Door Master was first startled upon hearing that Han Li intended to leave, but then puzzled further when he learned that Han Li wished to enter into a transaction with him. "What possible agreement could there be between himself and this renowned Dr. Han?" He couldn't help feeling a bit uneasy. ... When the noon hour arrived, at the time they had agreed to meet, Han Li was nowhere to be found at the main hall of Luoyi Peak. Instead, the Grand Master of the Wang Sect entered last, full of energy and spirit. Immediately, the Grand Master declared that they no longer needed to wait for him, as Han Li had already left Caixia Mountain and had vanished without a trace. He estimated that Han Li would likely depart from Jingzhou, possibly even crossing the entire nation of Yue. With that, all the complications had been resolved. Upon hearing this, everyone present stared at one another in astonishment, wide-eyed and speechless, the entire hall falling into silence. "If the person is already gone, then what's the point of all this planning? What's to be done? What should we do?" they thought, helplessly.
