- The Mission to Save People and Han Trung B?o's Love ??
One day, while Han Th??ng ????? was guarding at Celestial City ?, Han Trung B?o ??? and Han Kh?ng B?o ?? arrived together. Han Trung B?o said: "Han Th??ng ?????, let's go. We have a long-term mission ???. Bring all your important belongings with you."
Han Th??ng ????? immediately complied, packing all his possessions. He was naturally poor ??; after gathering all his assets, he only had a few bottles of medicinal pills ??, a few bottles of liquid medicine ??, about 10 medium-grade spirit stones ??, his weapon ???, and basic equipment—that was the entirety of his wealth.
The three immediately set off. They leaped across high treetops ??, trod on water ??, and traversed forests ???. They did not rest, day or night, because the mission was urgent ??.
Han Th??ng ????? asked Han Kh?ng B?o ??: "What grade is this mission, what is its content, and what is the reward ???"
Han Kh?ng B?o ?? shook his head and said: "This mission has no grade. The content is simply to save people ??. A good official ?? was exiled to the far west with his entire family for defying the king ??. That official was beheaded, leaving only his widow and orphans, without a place to rely on."
Han Th??ng ????? was surprised: "Then, what are the conditions to complete this mission?"
Han Kh?ng B?o ?? shook his head, looking clueless ??, and continued: "I heard that this family are descendants of our Master's clan. We need to protect them thoroughly ??."
Han Th??ng ????? nodded in understanding, then looked at Han Trung B?o ??? and said: "What's wrong with Fourteenth Senior Brother? He's so worried and rushed ??, not at all like his usual gentle and calm self."
Han Kh?ng B?o ?? chuckled and said: "He's in love ??, that's why ??."
Han Trung B?o ???, hearing his two junior brothers mention him, frowned ?? and said: "Focus, we'll be late now." With that, he flew ahead ??.
A day later, Han Trung B?o ??? said: "This is too slow ??, I'm afraid we won't make it in time. You two follow behind, I'll go ahead here."
Han Trung B?o ??? took out his small flying boat ???, enlarged it, and inserted 5 medium-grade spirit stones ??. In a flash, he shot into the night sky ?? and vanished.
- The Cruel Choice and the Explosion ??
Upon arrival, Han Trung B?o ??? changed out of his Profound Ice Sect ?? clothes, put on a commoner's outfit, and climbed onto the roof ?? of the house at the transit station.

The prisoner's family consisted of 10 people ???????????: an old woman ?? over 80, two young girls, and the rest were children, both boys and girls. Han Trung B?o ??? used a sound transmission technique, speaking softly so that only one young girl, named Ti?t H?nh ??, could hear him, causing her to jump up in joy.
Han Trung B?o ??? said: "Be calm, my little love. Slowly sit down. I see you clearly right now. Don't worry at all, I'm here. I will protect you and your family to safety ???????????..."
The girl Ti?t H?nh ?? obediently sat down, flashing a beautiful and happy smile ??, nodding and shaking her head repeatedly.
Afterward, the young girl went to her worried and anxious grandmother and said: "Grandma, the Immortal has arrived ??. Our great ancestor, Han Th??ng Nhan, sent his disciple here to help us." The old woman bowed in thanks to heaven and earth: "Thank you, Immortal. Thank you, heaven and earth. Our family is saved ??."
That night, they ate all the food they were given and slept soundly ??.
The days that followed were a long journey ???. The soldiers ?? led the exiles on a months-long trek through many places. Besides Ti?t H?nh's ?? family, there were many other families traveling with them. Every time they passed a city or a village, the number of women ?? in the group dwindled.
The exile soldiers ?? often secretly took the beautiful young women and sold them to brothels or slave markets ??. Han Trung B?o ??? saw everything but didn't know what to do, as he couldn't help much alone ??.
However, every time a soldier dared to touch Ti?t H?nh's ?? family, he taught the soldiers a lesson right away ??. Because of this, her family safely passed through many stations.
But with every guard post they passed, the escorting soldiers were replaced. The later groups of soldiers ?? abused their power even more than the previous ones. Some even directly humiliated the female prisoners on the spot, pushing the limits of Han Trung B?o's moral threshold to its breaking point.
He was like a ticking time bomb ??; a mere touch could detonate it. And the fuse was lit ??.
When a soldier seized Ti?t H?nh ?? to humiliate her, his rage exploded ??. The Three-Star Profound Ice Saber ?? in his hand, normally used to kill monsters, now turned to kill men ??. Any soldier who charged was instantly slain by a single strike. Those who were wise enough to run away ?? survived.
Han Trung B?o ??? knelt down, the surge of emotion passed, and reason returned ??. He had just broken all the rules of the Profound Ice Sect ??. If this matter were exposed, he would surely be expelled ??.
Looking at the people around him and the girl he loved, the question that had echoed throughout the journey resurfaced: "Should I stay with the person I love, abandoning the sect, or should I sever this romance, to avoid disrupting my Dao Heart and focus solely on cultivation?" ??
He took a deep breath and resolutely decided: "Everyone will die sooner or later. There's no need to cling to the path of immortal cultivation. It's enough to live a lifetime without regrets." ?
He looked into the eyes of all these people; they all needed him. All of them were descendants of loyal and righteous people who died for a great cause, and they were truly worthy of protection ??.
With his reason and emotion clear, he stood up, pursued all the fleeing soldiers ????, and brought back their clothes ??. He put one on and gave the rest to the other men in the exile group, instructing them to pretend to be the escorting soldiers ??.
Instead of going directly into villages and cities to change guards as before, they changed direction ??, traveling along different paths. They used the exile escort uniforms to enter cities for payment or exchange. Since Han Trung B?o ??? had been observing for some time, the soldiers' rules were easy to circumvent, allowing them to overcome most obstacles. ??
