Hidden Blade

Chapter 619 Advice

After Xu Han left, a group of people arranged everything and arranged for the people in charge of the vigil to fall asleep.

Autumn winds blew by from time to time in the night, lifting the campfire in the camp, causing the dead trees on both sides to creak.

Zhou Yuan's closed eyes suddenly opened. He looked around and carefully observed the trajectory of the night watchmen. He was very patient, like a lynx hunting its prey. In order to find a good opportunity to hit it, he could crawl on the ground for several hours.

Soon, Zhou Yuan saw the loophole in the vigil patrol. He found a path that could avoid the ears and eyes of the night watchman and leave this place.

He raised his head a little higher, and his muscles on his thin body tensed up, like a full string, unsheathed sword, ready to attack.

Another gust of autumn wind blew past, scattering the dark clouds in the sky. A starlight landed in front of him, illuminating Xiao Nineteen's sleeping face. Zhou Yuan frowned. "It's not that I don't follow you. I'm indeed not your master. Plus.. Ai.. Anyway, the Dark Asura Palace isn't something you can provoke."

After saying that, Zhou Yuan was about to leave, but he suddenly seemed to recall something. He groped in his bosom for a while, then took out a piece of yellow paper and placed it in Xiao Nineteen's hand. Then, he let out a long sigh as if he had something on his mind and ran towards the direction of leaving the camp.

Zhou Yuan, who was already over seventy years old, was not very strong. After running for fifteen minutes, Zhou Yuan stopped breathlessly.

He bent his body and placed his hands on his knees, panting heavily.

"Finally escaped. These little bastards managed to escape the territory of Dark Asura Hall with great difficulty. They also want to go against those fellows from Chang'an. Isn't this courting death? That fellow is in Chang'an! Grandpa Zhou won't accompany you to send him to his death!" After resting for half an hour, Zhou Yuan proudly raised his head and muttered to himself. Then, he looked around to find a direction to leave.

"Master." But at this moment, a tender voice came from behind Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan was shocked. He turned around and saw the sleepy Nineteen standing behind him with a puzzled expression, looking at him playfully.

"You .. you're awake?" Cold sweat broke out on Zhou Yuan's forehead. He turned his head to look in the direction of the camp, only to see that everyone was still asleep. Only then did his suspended heart relax a little.

"Master, why are you here so late?" Little Nineteen didn't doubt that he was there. He just tilted his head and looked at Zhou Yuan and asked.

'"Eh" Zhou Yuan was momentarily stupefied. He stammered for a long time and could only say, "It's too hot. Come out and take a walk.."

"Hot?" Little Nineteen was very clever. She looked at the bleak autumn wind and the withered trees, and immediately frowned, "How could Master be hot in this autumn?"

After saying this, Xiao Nineteen seemed to have realized something. His expression instantly collapsed. He curled his lips and tears surged in his eyes, as if he would burst into tears in the next moment.

This frightened Zhou Yuan. If Nineteen really cried out, it would definitely attract the attention of everyone in the distance. It would be difficult for him to run anymore. Thinking of this, Zhou Yuan's heart skipped a beat and he was about to reach out to touch the Dragon Trapping Powder in his arms. This was something he had requested from Little Nineteen a few days ago, just in case.

However, as soon as this hand reached into his embrace, his expression changed. He suddenly remembered that before he left, his brain was burning for a moment. He thought that everyone would be in danger when they went to Chang'an, so he left the Dragon Trapping Powder to Little Nineteen.

Seeing that Nineteen was about to cry, Zhou Yuan's gaze changed.

He had thought of killing Nineteen to silence him, but when he recalled the scene of Little Nineteen desperately protecting him, Zhou Yuan was unable to do anything about it. Although he wasn't a good person, he was still trying to get revenge on a child. After thinking for a long time, he could only sigh and say, "Don't .. don't cry. I just came out for a walk, so I'll go back now."

Hearing this, Nineteen broke into tears and laughed. The speed at which his face changed made Zhou Yuan wonder if he had fallen for the little girl's words. However, before he could examine it carefully, Little Nineteen jumped to his side and reached out to grab Zhou Yuan's hand.

"Master, don't be afraid. Actually, none of them are bad people. Furthermore, 19 of them are here. If they dare to bully Master, I will fight them." As he spoke, Little Nineteen waved his tiny fist in an extremely arrogant manner.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Yuan sighed inexplicably in his heart. He let out a sigh and allowed Nineteen to hold his hand and return to the camp where everyone was staying. Deep down, he sighed, "Of course they're not bad people, but they're real idiots."

That fellow from Chang'an, how could they afford to provoke him..

..

"Do you want some?" On the morning of the second day, Xu Han, who had been raiding the city all night, sat down on the road beside the border of Jizhou and took a nap. He reached out and handed a piece of dried fruit to the yellow monkey beside him.

The yellow monkey was obviously ungrateful. It raised its head with extreme disdain and glanced elsewhere.

Xu Han helplessly smiled bitterly and turned to look at Xuan'er. Xuan'er, who had recovered from her injuries, quickly regained her senses. She opened her mouth to the yellow monkey and called out, "Meow!"

The yellow monkey had an unwilling expression on its face, but it didn't seem to dare to disobey Xuan'er's orders. It gritted its teeth and turned its head to receive the things Xu Han had handed over. But at this moment, Aowu, who had been coveting the fruit for a long time, suddenly jumped and directly snatched the fruit from Xu Han's hand, as if he was afraid that the food in his hand would be snatched away. Aowu jumped to the side and didn't chew the fruit at all, swallowing it whole.

Seeing this, the yellow monkey, who was already unhappy, was instantly enraged. He grinned at Aowu and scratched his cheeks. Then, he jumped to Aowu's side and fought with him.

Fortunately, the yellow monkey did not reveal its true body, and the two "humans" had fought back and forth. If the yellow monkey really opened fire, Aowu would have been smashed into meat sauce by now.

Seeing that the yellow monkeys had their own limits, Xu Han did not stop them. Instead, he ate dry rations while watching the farce with relish.

Just as he could see the strength, he suddenly felt something. His expression changed and he turned to his side. There were several withered trees under the autumn breeze, yellow leaves and withered grass piled on the ground, and there seemed to be nothing else.

However, Xu Han's brows furrowed at that moment. Xuan'er also narrowed her amber eyes. Even Aowu and Huang Hou, who were fighting happily, stopped their movements and looked at where Xu Han was looking.

"How long do you want to hide?" Xu Han stared at the seemingly empty space and suddenly said in a deep voice.

The empty space was completely silent, without any special changes. It was as if everything was something Xu Han had imagined out of thin air. However, Xu Han clearly believed in his own judgement. His face turned cold, and the aura around him began to surge, as if he was ready to attack the empty space.

Perhaps because he felt Xu Han's determination, the empty space suddenly distorted and a figure wrapped in a black robe suddenly appeared.

His appearance was wrapped in a black robe, and Xu Han could not see it clearly, but the aura emanating from his body made Xu Han feel as if he had met him before.

"After ascending to the Immortal Realm, you are indeed extraordinary. This technique can't conceal your perception." The black-robed man sighed and said in his hoarse voice.

Xu Han's expression changed slightly. Suddenly, he came to his senses. The person in front of him was the person who had used the Su Clan's saber technique in Tong City of Jing Zhou for a month, wanting to take his life.

"Who are you?" Xu Han asked in a deep voice. At that time, the blood energy in his body began to surge. Even in the Immortal Dimension, Xu Han had no choice but to be 100% vigilant against this mysterious person because he discovered that he was still unable to see through his opponent's cultivation.

Compared to Xu Han's imminent enemies, the black-robed man's performance could be said to be calm and gentle.

He paced slightly, his face wrapped in a hood and his expression blurred. "Are you afraid of me?" He whispered.

Xu Han did not say anything, but at this moment, both he and Xuan'er Aowu were already prepared. Once the black-robed man attacked, they could launch a full-force counterattack against him at the first possible moment.

The black-robed man seemed to have seen through their thoughts. He smiled faintly and continued, "Don't worry, I can't kill you anymore."

"Someone is staring at me."

The black-robed man said with a tone of regret.

How could Xu Han understand his unexplained words? He simply didn't accept the black-robed man's words and continued to stare at him.

"You think that you can save everyone if you go to Chang'an? Actually, every step you take is bringing you closer and closer to the abyss." The black-robed man didn't seem to be able to feel Xu Han's displeasure. He kept muttering to himself in his hoarse voice. Although Xu Han couldn't see his appearance clearly, he could guess that the face under his hood was filled with madness and fanaticism.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Xu Han no longer had the temper to continue entangling with him. He did not understand the other party's words, nor did he want to understand them.

"I have a piece of advice for you." The black-robed man said again.

"What?" Xu Han was puzzled.

The black-robed man said in a deep voice, "Don't save people who shouldn't be saved, just like in Chongzhou many years ago."

At that time, Xu Han's expression changed. After Chongzhou saved Qin Keqing, he was planted with the Dragon-Snake Twin Technique. Only then did he have this situation. However, he rarely mentioned this matter to anyone. Why would this black robe know? Who was the person he said he shouldn't have saved?

Xu Han felt somewhat uneasy. He took a step forward and loudly asked, "What do you mean?"

"Remember, it's better for you to find some things yourself than for me to do them for you" The black-robed man said as his body slowly faded away, as if he was about to disappear from Xu Han's sight.

Xu Han's heart tightened. He hurriedly stepped forward to grab the black-robed man's body, but when he reached out his hand, it was empty. The man's figure had long since disappeared.

Only his ghostly hoarse voice still rang in Xu Han's ears.

"Remember what I said, otherwise you and I will live forever in sorrow."
