Hidden Blade

Chapter 345 Survival Path

Lunar Temple!

The moment Liu Sheng said those words, everyone present was stunned.

Regardless of whether it was for ordinary people like Boss Gan or traveling in Jianghu like Zhen Yue, Lunar Temple was a lofty and immortal-like place for them.

Those bandits who had committed crimes in the antlers, and even killed without blinking an eye, were these scholars who were full of benevolence, righteousness, and morality. This kind of truth obviously could not be digested by everyone at the first possible moment.

At that time, Xu Han also frowned. He had already told Liu Sheng about the speculation that the enemy on this trip was likely Lunar Temple. However, Liu Sheng did not care and continued to go stubbornly. At first, Xu Han thought that Liu Sheng did not trust him, but now, it seemed that Liu Sheng had something to rely on. Therefore, even though he knew that Lunar Temple was interfering with him, he still wanted to meet him.

He really didn't understand what Liu Sheng had to rely on to have such courage.

However, he had to admit that the current Liu Sheng was different from the youth he remembered.

Just as he was thinking about this, the conversation on the field continued.

"The Lunar Temple and my Dark Asura Palace have never crossed paths. Do you all want to fight to the death with my Dark Asura Palace?" Liu Sheng asked in a deep voice, with a faint anger in his tone. Because of the obstruction of the Lunar Temple, it was extremely difficult to transport the demon cores. The activities he carried out in Great Xia required the support of the demon cores, regardless of whether it was his status as a semi-demon or the large number of Asuras under his command. The disruption of the transportation of the demon cores undoubtedly hindered the development of these matters. Naturally, Liu Sheng could not have any goodwill towards these Confucian scholars.

"Our palace has always respected His Highness the King of Ksitigarbha. How could it be like what Your Excellency said? In the end, isn't it for Your Excellency that we are doing this?" The white-robed scholar in the lead whispered. The corner of his lips curled into a smile.

"Me?" Liu Sheng was stunned. Obviously, he did not understand what the other party meant.

"Daoist is quite interested in an existence like you. I would like to invite you to the palace for a gathering." The smile on the scholar's face became even more intense.

At this moment, Liu Sheng finally recovered his senses. Although these demon cores were extremely important to him, it was not difficult for him to obtain a few demon cores with the Lunar Temple's inheritance. However, the other party had risked offending the Dark Asura Palace by constantly killing the merchants who were transporting the demon cores to and from the merchant caravan. From this, it seemed that it was actually to lure him out.

The only thing he could attract the attention of that Supreme True Man was his status as a half-demon.

Thinking of this, Liu Sheng's expression immediately turned extremely ugly.

He understood that he seemed to have fallen into a trap. As an existence like the Lunar Temple, the trap they had set was obviously not something that could be easily broken.

"If Young Master Liu is willing to come back with us, he can suffer less, but if he has to resist desperately" The white-robed scholar said again, The white robe that he was about to beat suddenly stirred up at that moment. True black gas continuously gushed out from the rift in his clothes. The same was true of the many Confucian scholars he brought behind him. The black gas around their bodies constantly gathered at that time, and in the end, it actually enveloped everyone like dark clouds.

Everyone's expressions instantly changed. With their surveillance, had they ever seen such a scene?

However, Liu Sheng was obviously not the kind of person who was willing to surrender. At that time, his clothes bulged and the aura around him rose. The strangest thing was that one of his eyes had turned purple. Although one of his eyes had returned to normal, the brilliance that flickered inside was aggressive.

A terrifying force seemed to be awakening from Liu Sheng's body.

Xu Han frowned. He could not explain why he was somewhat displeased with the power in Liu Sheng's body. Of course, this kind of rhetoric did not seem to be appropriate. Rather than saying that he was displeased, it was more appropriate to say that he felt uncomfortable. When the black robe appeared in Chang'an that day, Xu Han seemed to have sensed this feeling before.

Just when everyone thought that a great battle was about to begin, the white-clothed scholar raised his eyebrows and saw his index finger slightly bent. Then, he lightly flicked his finger, and the black gas behind him gushed out and headed straight for Liu Sheng.

The purple light in Liu Sheng's right eye was flourishing, and a huge force was about to surge out, but it was at that moment.

The black aura instantly arrived around him. That power seemed to be extremely destructive to the power in his body. Just by touching it slightly, Liu Sheng's rising aura dissipated like smoke. Then, the black gas wrapped around his body like a poisonous snake. At that time, his body was immobilized like a chain.

'"My Lunar Temple is known as the Lunar Temple for thousands of years, but it can actually be deduced. Young Master Liu thought that we would not be prepared to deal with a half-demon like you in advance?" When the white-robed scholar saw his hand, his eyes narrowed and his expression was unconcealed.

"Half a demon?" When such words entered Xu Han's ears, his expression instantly changed, and his gaze towards Liu Sheng became strange. This was not the first time he had heard such words, and his heart couldn't help but be a little confused.

If Liu Sheng was also a half-demon, then it was very likely that he had forgotten about the past for the same reason.

The aura he had just displayed was very similar to the black robe that had tried to devour Qin Keqing's dragon qi. In other words, it was a black robe, which meant that Supreme True Man was probably a half-demon. As for Qin Keqing, it was as Mr. Lu had said..

However, was this strange aura really a blessing to the Half Demon?

Xu Han could not think clearly, and the situation before him clearly did not allow him to think about it.

"It's not just you, even the people behind you are all in my scheme. But don't worry, they won't be so lucky. There's only one path left for them." The white-clothed scholar's voice came to mind again, and his eyes narrowed as a cold light suddenly appeared inside.

Although he did not say anything else, he could not understand what he was trying to say.

Everyone's expressions instantly became even uglier. Even Zhen Yue and the others' faces turned deathly pale at that moment. Whether it was the Lunar Temple's reputation or the powerful aura emitted by the black energy that filled the sky, none of them had the slightest courage to resist.

But just as Zhen Yue was in despair, a youth suddenly stepped out and passed her by.

"I'll give you a way to survive. Bring him out of here and I'll protect your lives."

The youth's tone was cold, but it carried an unquestionable certainty. After saying this to her, before Zhen Yue could regain her senses, the youth suddenly jumped forward.

At the same time, the sword on his back was unsheathed.

As a result, a dazzling sword light lit up and boundless sword intent surged out.

The light was like a blazing sun rising from the east after a long night.

It cut through the night and tore through the darkness.

It also stung everyone's eyeballs.

Even so, Zhen Yue still looked straight at the light.

She thought that this was perhaps the most dazzling scene she had ever seen in her more than twenty years of life.
