Hidden Blade

Chapter 274 Be Courteous First And Then Armored

Xu Han sat on the bed and chatted with Qin Keqing for a long time. Then, he drank a bowl of rice porridge under Qin Keqing's supervision before the other party left peacefully.

The night was getting dark.

Sitting at the head of the bed, Xu Han was unable to fall asleep. He stood up.

The Purple Firmament Realm's physical body cultivation allowed his body to recover extremely well. Although he still felt weak in this short period of time, it was no longer as difficult for him to stand up alone as before.

Clang!

With a crisp sound, the sword on his bedside was unsheathed.

The blade of the sword was scarlet red and covered with viper-like patterns. Xu Han placed it in his hand and stroked the blade of the Heavenly Punishment Sword. However, his heart was filled with thoughts.

Before heading to Big Yellow City, Yue Chengpeng, the young master of Heavenly Battle City, had already brought Xu Han what Sikong Bai and the Long Night Division had planned.

"With the Sword Punishing the Heavens, it is extremely vicious."

"Holding this sword, I can kill father, and I can kill king."

He muttered the so-called Supreme True Man 's motto and frowned.

Since Sikong Bai and Zhu Xian wanted to kill the Emperor, this Heavenly Punishment Sword was naturally an extremely important step in their plan.

And that immortal was currently living in Zhu Xian's mansion, which was only ten miles away from him.

Having such a precious treasure and being watched by an immortal was certainly not a good experience.

Moreover, he was now connected to Xing Tian Jian's heart and blood. If the sword was taken away, he would not be able to say how much damage it would cause to him.

Thinking of this, Xu Han felt even more annoyed. He put away the sword in his hand and was about to return to the bedside.

Dong.

Dong.

..

But at that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Without any doubt, Xu Han walked to the door and opened it.

However, the figure in front of him caused his body to tremble.

"Long time no see, Young Master is well." That person smiled faintly. He seemed to have anticipated Xu Han's shock.

However, Xu Han did not immediately reply to the visitor's greeting. He was stunned for a long time, but the other party did not urge him. He just stood there quietly and smiled at him.

After about a dozen breaths of time, Xu Han calmed down the shock in his heart and asked, while the vigilance between his eyebrows became increasingly intense.

This was the Tian Ce Mansion.

Xu Han used the corner of his eyes to look into the distance, as if he wanted to confirm something.

However, none of these subtle movements had been concealed from the visitor's eyes.

"Don't worry, I didn't alert anyone, nor did I hurt anyone." That person laughed again.

Xu Han knew that the other party did not have a reason to deceive him, so he felt slightly at ease. However, the gaze of the person who looked at him was still vigilant. He asked in a calm voice, "Why are you here so late?"

Hearing this, the man raised his head to look at the sky.

It was winter and moon, and it was rare to see no snow in Chang'an. The starlight was bright, and the silver waterfall was as bright as day.

"Follow me."

The man said this and turned around to leave.

Xu Han was stunned. He stood there and hesitated for a long time before catching up.

..

Inside the courtyard of Zhu Manor.

Sikong Bai sat tall in the first seat of the room, and the deacons of the Exquisite Pavilion sat on both sides. There was no lack of people that Xu Han was familiar with. For example, the two proud disciples of Long Congyun, Lu Feng and Lang Chaosha, although their appearances hadn't changed, their eyebrows were shrouded in killing intent. The aura around them was condensed, clearly the aura of the Heavenly Hunt Realm.

In just a few months, everyone's cultivation had already made such a qualitative leap. If it were to spread out, it would probably shock the people of the world to the point of losing their big teeth.

"What do you think of Ran Qingyi's words today?" The immortal raised his eyebrows and asked softly.

"The Great Zhou Imperial Clan is weak. Sooner or later, Zhu Xian will replace them. The world will definitely be in chaos. The disciple Ran Qingyi said that it is not without foundation. Thinking about Xu Han from his appearance to his departure, there are too many doubts. In addition, all the information Ran Qingyi provided shows that the Heavenly Punishment Sword is very likely to be on Xu Han." Lang Chaosha had been bullied and humiliated by Xu Han in the Linglong Pavilion back then. He had always harbored hatred towards Xu Han. Now, he heard that Xing Tian Sword was in Xu Han's hands, so he naturally wished for Sikong Bai to kill Xu Han earlier, causing him to feel extremely humiliated.

"Indeed, the time when the Vastsea Current disappeared was extremely close to the time when Xu Han appeared. Moreover, that black cat was quite similar to the black cat that followed Canghai back then. Disciple also thought that Xu Han was probably the descendant of the Vastsea Current. Not only did he possess the Heavenly Punishment Sword, he even possessed the Great Defying Sword Scripture that was lost in our sect back then. "Elder Sikong should make a move first and hold this Heavenly Punishment Sword in our hands. Only then will we have the ability to play against the Longevity Division." Immediately, that Lu Feng also stood out and echoed.

Sikong Bai did not comment on this. After hearing their words, he nodded slightly and turned to look at the purple-robed youth who did not make a sound.

"Yueming, tell me, what do you think of this matter?"

The purple-robed youth who was sitting at the side silently heard this. He stood up and walked in front of Sikong Bai. He lowered his head and cupped his hands, saying, "Does Master want to hear the truth or lie?"

"Naturally, it's the truth."

"This matter is inappropriate." The purple-robed youth said this without thinking after hearing Sikong Bai's response.

"Oh?" Sikong Bai raised his eyebrows as if he was interested and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Master, just imagine how powerful Pan Heng is in the Great Zhou Empire. It is not too much to say that he is covering the sky with one hand. How about Zhu Xian being a hero in the world? It is not too much to say that he is a treacherous and treacherous hero."

"Since he knew that Xing Tian Sword was in Xu Han's hands and was spying on the throne of Great Zhou, why did he leave such a good thing to Master?" The purple-robed youth asked.

Sikong Bai frowned slightly and was deep in thought, but Lang Chaosha beside him was unwilling to let Song Yueming steal the limelight. He stood up and said, "It's just that even if Xing Tian Sword is in hand, he wouldn't dare to trend such a divine artifact, so he sold it to an elder to win the good fortune of an immortal." "I know Deacon Song and Xu Han are quite close, but this matter concerns the rise and fall of the Exquisite Pavilion. Since Deacon Song has crippled the public service for personal reasons, isn't it too much of a concern for our sect's thousand-year inheritance?"

Everyone present knew about Xu Han's personal relationship with Song Yueming. Hearing Lang Chaosha's words, they immediately turned their gazes towards Song Yueming. Even the immortal's gaze became uncertain at that time.

However, Song Yueming did not panic at all. He waved his hand and his purple robe surged. At that time, his eyes were wide open as he stared at Lang Chaosha. He shouted, "Lang Chaosha! What kind of alarmist words are you talking about? Your mouth is full of flattery. You want to frame our Exquisite Pavilion in an irrevocable place? What exactly is your intention?"

At that time, Song Yueming's aura was imposing, like a surging wave of sword intent. His killing intent instantly broke out and directly enveloped that Lang Chaosha.

Under his imposing aura, Lang Chaosha, a Heavenly Hunt Realm expert, was instantly pale, unable to produce the slightest bit of resistance.

In just a few short months, Song Yueming's cultivation had advanced to the Realm of Flame Dust. His age was not much older than Xu Han's. At such a young age and with such cultivation, there was no one in the world who could compare to him.

"Deacon Song, it's easy to say. Junior Martial Nephew Lang is also a Heart Sect. Even if his ideas are different, he won't be able to sink the sect." Seeing this, someone hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly. It was a white-haired old man who had once been a great saber dao expert in the Exquisite Pavilion, Qing Ru Xi.

"Humph!" Hearing this, Song Yueming glanced at the old man, then coldly snorted and withdrew his aura. Lang Chaosha, who was still facing Song Yueming, was immediately pardoned. He stood there with a dispirited expression, his face filled with fear and fear.

Lu Feng, who had always been in cahoots with Lang Chaosha, looked at the displeased look in the eyes of the immortal on the grandstand. Thinking that he had found Song Yueming's weakness, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Deacon Song can't tolerate dissidents. Could it be that you think that this Linglong Pavilion is your Song Yueming's world? If you bully others like this, why don't you kill me next?"

As he said that, Lu Feng took a step forward, his face filled with righteousness, his neck stretched out to be slaughtered.

Facing Lu Feng's righteous accusation, Song Yueming only glanced at him faintly. Then, he looked at Sikong Bai, who seemed to be quite unhappy on the stage, and cupped his hands. "Master, think carefully. Xu Han has a heavy army in Jizhou. Zhu Xian dares not touch him, but he threw it to Master. This is clearly a strategy to drive off the tigers and devour the wolves the wolves. Could Master not see it?"

Hearing this, Lu Feng did not wait for Sikong Bai to respond. He sneered again, "Elder Sikong is an immortal. Tens of thousands of soldiers have been defeated, but it's just a sword strike. Besides, if the Jizhou army really wants to avenge Xu Han, we will retreat to the Linglong Pavilion. When the elder holds the Heavenly Punishment Divine Sword, there is nothing to fear." I see that you, Song Yueming, are crippling your public service because of selfishness and want to preserve that old acquaintance of yours! "

Although Lu Feng's attitude was arrogant, his words were not unreasonable. How could an immortal's strength be compared to a mortal's?

Even though Lin Shou had gathered the strength of a hundred thousand soldiers back then and shattered the dream of the Li Dynasty ruling the world with one arrow, Lin Shou was already dead. How could there be a second Lin Shou in this world? More than a hundred thousand troops Sikong Bai wanted to defeat them with the power of a single battle, but it wasn't difficult to defeat them one by one with the Immortal's divine dragon's ability to see the beginning and not the end.

Everyone looked at Song Yueming suspiciously.

"Yueming, Lu Feng's words aren't bad. Tell me, what exactly is there to fear about Xu Han?" At that time, the immortal on the stage spoke with a faint tone of displeasure that could be heard clearly by anyone.

However, Song Yueming did not panic anymore. He cupped his hands and whispered, "Master, do you remember that saber strike in the World-saving Palace of the Dao Discussion Assembly?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room instantly quieted down.

No one could forget that saber strike. Before he arrived, he had defeated the Immortal with a single saber strike. Everyone present finally came to their senses. What exactly did Song Yueming mean by fear? That Yuan Guilong had not died yet. If Xu Han was truly touched, Sikong Bai would not be able to withstand his revenge, let alone the Exquisite Dragon Pavilion. Immediately, everyone's faces changed, and Lu Feng, who had just spoken, became even more pale.

"Then what does Yi Yueming mean? Could it be that this old man of the Heavenly Punishment Sword is going to surrender?" Sikong Bai also came to understand at this moment. He looked at his disciple with satisfaction and asked.

"This sword concerns the rise and fall of my Exquisite Dragon. Naturally, it cannot." Hearing this, Song Yueming smiled faintly. He said in a deep voice, "We should be courteous first, but we mustn't harm people's lives."
