Perfect: Many children, many blessings! Join the chat group!

As soon as Han Li's message came out, the group chat fell silent for a moment, then burst into laughter.

[Lin Dong: Hahahaha, Third Brother, aren't you being a bit too cautious? What danger could there be in this secret realm? We even drove out the Immortal Palace successor. Could there be someone more powerful than Di Chong here?]

[Luo Feng: That's right, Third Brother, don't worry. With our current strength, splitting up won't cause any problems.]

[Xiao Yan: Third Brother, your cautious nature is exactly like what Eldest Brother said. But to be honest, being cautious isn't a bad thing, after all, your cultivation level didn't come easily... It's just that being too cautious is a bit... you know?]

[Qian Renxue: Third Brother, why don't you come with me? We can act together and look out for each other.]

[Shi Hao: I'll come find you after I've subdued the Silver Insect King!]

Han Li looked at the messages in the group chat, his face turning slightly red.

He, a great cultivator at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, never expected to be ridiculed for being a coward today.

but……

He believed he hadn't done anything wrong.

What's wrong with being cautious?

The world of cultivation is fraught with danger, and countless people have lost their lives due to momentary carelessness.

The reason Han Li has survived to this day is because of this caution.

Just then, another message popped up in the group chat.

It was sent by Wang Lin.

[Wang Lin: I believe my third brother's actions were not wrong. The cultivation world is inherently cruel, and deadly dangers can lurk anywhere. Only those as cautious as my third brother can go further on this path...]

Han Li felt a warmth in his heart upon seeing this message.

It seems that among the people in this group, it's still the second brother, Wang Lin, who understands him best.

[Lin Dong: Second Brother is right... So, what are our plans?]

Luo Feng: How about this, let's compromise. Fifth Brother, I'll go with one team. We've worked well together before, and we're most efficient when we're together. Third Brother, you can go with Qian Renxue, Qingyi, Qin Hao, and Feng Wu. This way, we'll split into two teams, which will prevent us from being too scattered and will also ensure efficiency...

Han Li panicked when he saw Luo Feng's arrangement.

[Han Li: Sixth Brother, isn't this allocation a bit unreasonable? You and Fifth Brother are the strongest among us. If you two are on one team, what about the rest of us?]

Lin Dong's current combat strength is enough to stand alone, while Luo Feng is the most explosive fighter among them on this trip.

If these two team up, they'll definitely be able to sweep through this secret realm.

On the other hand, although Qian Renxue is not weak, she comes from the Douluo World after all, and her combat strength here still needs to be verified.

Qingyi and Fengwu are both women, so why should I let women protect me?

As for Qin Hao, he's just a greenhorn...

If you think about it this way, the people I brought with me are all elderly, weak, women and children.

Han Li felt increasingly uneasy about it.

[Han Li: Sixth brother, why don't you join my team? Let Fifth brother go with Seventh Sister and the others.]

[Lin Dong: Third Brother, are you implying that our Seventh Sister and Sister-in-law aren't strong enough? If they hear you say that, you're in for a world of hurt.]

[Han Li: I have no other intention than that I feel this arrangement is rather inappropriate...] [Zhu Chen: Han Li, I think Luo Feng's arrangement is very reasonable. Although Qin Hao is Shi Hao's younger brother, he has the Supreme Bone and Longevity Battle Armor given to him by Qin Changsheng, so his strength is definitely at the Venerable Realm. He just lacks a little practical experience.]

Feng Wu and Qing Yi were both the first generation of prodigies of the Heavenly Immortal Academy. Their combat strength was no weaker than Qin Hao's, especially Qing Yi. Since merging with the main body, her strength had already reached the peak of the Venerable Realm. Even ordinary Divine Fire Realm cultivators were no match for her.

Seeing that Han Li was somewhat dissatisfied with Luo Feng's arrangements, Zhu Chen had no choice but to step forward personally to reassure her.

[Zhu Chen: Besides... you still have Seventh Sister over there. Don't let her background in the Douluo World fool you; after years of diligent cultivation and comprehension of the Great Dao, she has already reshaped herself using the power of incense offerings. Her strength is now vastly different. With them around, you don't need to worry about your safety at all.]

Han Li, after reading Zhu Chen's analysis, also fell into deep thought.

Upon closer reflection, he realized that what Zhu Chen said did indeed seem to be true.

He had witnessed Qingyi's strength firsthand; it was indeed unfathomable.

Although Feng Wu and Qin Hao are young, they are certainly not ordinary people to have been selected to participate in the Tianyuan Secret Realm.

Just as Han Li was pondering, Xiao Yan interjected:

[Xiao Yan: Third Brother, don't you still have those two hundred Heavenly Demon Puppets I helped you refine? Even if you encounter a powerful enemy, you can just throw a few puppets to self-destruct, and you'll have plenty of time to escape. What are you afraid of?]

Han Li's lips twitched slightly when he saw the message.

What does it mean to throw out several puppets to self-destruct?
Those puppets were all personally crafted by him; they were the fruits of his labor!
How can someone just self-destruct like that?

But then again.

What Xiao Yan said makes some sense.

With puppets clearing the way, a sword formation protecting him, and Qian Renxue and the others following him, it seemed there was really nothing to be afraid of.

[Han Li: Alright, then we'll do as Sixth Brother says...]

[Lin Dong: That's more like it! Third Brother, just go ahead and don't worry. If you encounter any danger, just let us know in the group chat, and we'll be there right away!]

[Luo Feng: It's settled then. Lin Dong and I will be in one team, and the rest of you will go with Third Brother. We'll split up and collect the resources outside Thunder Emperor Palace first, then meet up at Thunder Emperor Palace.]

[Qian Renxue: Received!]

[Lin Dong: Okay, let's get started!]

After leaving the chat, Lin Dong and Luo Feng exchanged a glance, then flashed away and broke away from the group, flying off in another direction.

Seeing that the two of them suddenly changed direction, Qingyi immediately looked at Han Li beside her and asked, "Fellow Daoist Han, where did those two go?"

Han Li withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "We just discussed it and decided to split up so that we can collect resources faster. However, we will still meet at the Thunder Emperor Palace in the end."

Qingyi nodded upon hearing this and did not ask any further questions.

She knew that Zhu Chen and the others had a secret chat group where they could communicate with each other!
I guess Han Li and the others just made some decisions in that chat group.

At this moment, Feng Wu also came over and whispered to Qing Yi, "Qing Yi, why did these people suddenly break up? Were they reliable?"

Qingyi smiled slightly: "It's alright, they have their own way of doing things, we just need to follow them..."

Seeing that Qingyi seemed confident, Fengwu didn't say anything more out of trust.

The group activated their magic power to the fullest extent, speeding towards the location of the lightning-struck tree.
