"Little boy, what are you doing?"

Hun Han had just stretched out his hands when a black shadow flashed in front of him, a cane hit Hun Han's hand, causing Hun Han to retract his hand in pain.

"Ao!"

Hun Han blinked and took another look at the beggar in front of him. The opponent's seemingly random strike was able to bruise his hand. Who is he? He, Hun Han has a Saint Rank Bloodline, and he can shrug off attacks from Dou Shi’s as if they are nothing, yet the other party, an ordinary beggar, can make him feel pain. Who exactly is this old beggar?

"Naturally I am going inside to rest. Didn't you just tell me I can stay the night here?" Hun Han asked in confusion while rubbing his hand.

"If you want, you can stay here for the night, but you do not need to enter the Hall!" the beggar replied flatly.

"Don't enter the Hall? Wait, you want me to sleep outside?" Hun Han asked dumbly.

"Yeah."

"Where am I meant to sleep outside?" Hun Han scanned the yard. It was not only dirty, but human bones were scattered all over the place, it is hard for him to stay here let alone sleep there.

"Yeah." The beggar nodded earnestly, he continued: "Do not worry, there are no snakes, insects, and ants here. Of course, if you want to enter the Hall, you can, but you must join my Exploding Heavens Faction!"

"What?

"Except for the Disciples of the Exploding Heavens Faction, no one is allowed to enter this Hall." The beggar said with a very solemn expression, faintly, the beggar revealed a domineering temperament, like that of an Overlord.

Immediately, he looked at Hun Han and asked: "How is it, have you decided to join my Exploding Heavens Faction? The entry fee is a measly 100 Gold Coins. Since I like you, I have given you a discount!"

Hun Han shook his head, he did not want to join the Faction, a glint appeared in his eyes before rapidly disappearing, he refused: "I do not want to. I'll stay outside for the night!"

For Hun Han, the reason he came here is to complete the System's Sign In Mission. According to Hun Han's understanding of the System, he only needs to enter the Hall to complete the Sign In Mission. At that time, he would not need to stay here any longer and could immediately leave.

In the silent night, crows cawed from time to time, light green fireflies danced and flew in the yard.

When the moon reached its peak, the surrounding temperatures had greatly dropped. It had become cold enough for people to have goosebumps, coupled with the atmosphere in the yard, anyone would be full of fear.

"He should be asleep by now, right?"

Hun Han thought inwardly, he did not want to disturb and wake the mysterious beggar, thus, he tiptoed to a window and gently pushed it open, he then jumped inside like a fish jumps into water. He was inside the Ancient Palace!

Bang

While jumping past the window, a shadow appeared and struck him, the force sent him back through the window and sprawling on the yard outside the Hall.

After hitting him, the shadow disappeared, but Hun Han noticed that it was a cane. The beggar then jumped out of the window, landing in front of him.

"Little boy, what are you doing?" The beggar asked while taking a sip of his wine.

"Senior, junior has no malice, I just want to enter the Ancient Palace. Do not worry, I will not take anything, not even a single tile!" Hun Han replied respectfully.

"No!"

“Why?"

"I have told you already, only Disciples of the Faction are qualified to enter this Hall. No one else is allowed to enter this place." The beggar reiterated.

They remained silent, they looked at each other, sparks faintly in the air.

Could it be that he could only give up the Mission?

Now that he has come this far, how could he give up so easily?! He will not be resigned to such a thing!

"Senior, I can give you money!"

"No! I said, only the Disciples of the Faction can enter this Hall."

"Senior, I apologise, but Junior can only offend you." Hun Han said with a serious face.

"Okay, then come! "The beggar smiled.

Multiple shadows appeared as Hun Han used the Middle Level Xuan Class Movement Dou Technique, Nether Ghost Shadow, to head to the window. The beggar slightly raised his eyebrows, but he remained firmly locked onto Hun Han.

As soon as the beggar’s voice fell and Hun Han moved, the cane in his hand struck, without any excess movements, the cane hit Hun Han, forcing him back.

"Uh! "

Hun Han looked at the close yet far Palace, he tried to go through different openings and directions, yet the cane consistently appeared and hit him, forcing him back and causing him to fail every time.

Overlord Fist!

Bang!

Hun Han’s fist and the cane clashed, Hun Han’s fist blocked the cane, immediately, the corners of Hun Han’s lips slightly raised, and his figure rose into the air. Just as he was about to enter the Ancient Palace, the surrounding energy fiercely vibrated. Immediately, the water vapour around him condensed into a large piece of ice that encased his entire body, only his head was left outside so he could breathe.

"Dou Huang!"

These extremely heavy yet simple words emerged from his mouth. The unsightly beggar in front of him had a Dou Huang Cultivation Base, he could mobilise the energy of the surroundings so long as they are of the same attribute as his Dou Qi.

"Do you want to continue fighting? "The beggar took another sip of his wine; he did not look at Hun Han.

"Okay, I’ll stop."

Hun Han stopped resisting.

The beggar waved his hand, and immediately, the profound ice encasing Hun Han turned into water vapour and disappeared.

Hun Han sat on the ground and looked up at the beggar, he remained silent for a long time before he asked, "Since you are a Dou Huang, why are you still a beggar? "

"Interest!"

Faced with the beggar's answer, Hun Han felt speechless, he questioned: "Since you are a Dou Huang, why are you the only member of the Exploding Heavens Faction?"

"It is because only geniuses are qualified to enter the Faction! Now then, little boy, join my Exploding Heavens Faction and become my Disciple, how about it?"

Hun Han hesitated for a moment, he glanced at the Hall, and asked, "What obligations do I need to fulfil to join the Exploding Heavens Faction?"

The beggar sternly replied: "My Exploding Heavens Faction Disciples are all free and are not restrained by rules. If you want to go, go. If you want to stay, you can stay. You must support the Faction when it is in trouble, you are not allowed to kill needlessly and do evil things! Other than this, there are no special rules!"

"Okay."

Hearing this, Hun Han said with joy: "I am willing to join the Exploding Heavens Faction, Faction Leader, can I enter the Hall now?"

The beggar shook his head and said, "Let's talk about your apprenticeship first!"

Hun Han nodded; he asked the beggar in a respectful tone. "Master, can I enter the Hall now?"

"Well. Come with me!"

With a wave of his hand, the door of the Ancient Palace opened. Stepping into the Ancient Hall, Hun Han could barely see the furnishings.

There is no special item in the Hall. Only in the centre of the Main Hall, was an altar made of white marble. The altar is not small, it is 7 meters high and 7 meters wide.

In addition, in the corners of the Main Hall, the items the beggar needed were placed. The only visible and special item in the Hall was the Ancient Altar.

"Altar?" Hun Han muttered in surprise.

"No, that is a Teleportation Array!" the beggar corrected.

"Ding Dong!"

"Do you wish to Sign In at the Exploding Heavens Faction’s Palace?"

"Sign In!"

Without any hesitation, Hun Han immediately Signed In.

"Ding Dong!"

"Congratulations, you have completed your Location Sign In Mission, Sign In at the Exploding Heavens Faction’s Ancient Palace, you have obtained the item: Talisman Secret Code."

"Ding Dong!"

"The System has issued a new Location Sign In Mission. Please go and Sign In at the Thousand Medicinal House. Do you accept the Sign In Mission?"
