The reason Han Li didn't return to Yellow Maple Valley was because he had formed a grudge with Yellow Maple Valley. In the novel "Mortal Cultivation Legend", Han Li's sworn brother Li Feiyu was suspected by Yellow Maple Valley's Law Enforcement Elder of embezzling the sect's high-grade magic tools and was imprisoned for trial. After being tortured, Li Feiyu admitted that he had taken the magic tool, but he had been instructed by Han Li. When Patriarch of Law Enforcement found Han Li's identity token in Li Feiyu's storage pouch, he believed that Han Li was also involved in this matter. After a discussion between Yellow Maple Valley's Sect Master and Law Enforcement Elder, they decided to execute Li Feiyu and give Han Li a chance to redeem himself by returning to the sect to hand over the magic tools he had stolen. If Han Li could hand over the magic tool within a month, then he would let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, he would be viewed as an enemy of the sect and would be killed without exception. Han Li was unwilling to hand over the Azure Essence Sword that he had obtained from Doctor Mo. Moreover, he knew that once he returned to the sect, he would definitely be tortured and even executed. Thus, he decided not to return to Yellow Maple Valley. While waiting for the TV series, he could also click on the link below to read the classic original work of " The Legend of Mortal Cultivation "!
