Hidden Blade

Chapter 739 An Enormous Secret

"Wake up."

"Wake up!"

"Wake up!!"

Xu Han's ears were filled with a seemingly indistinct voice. It was the voice of a woman. Her tone carried a trace of anxiety and worry, as well as an aura similar to that of Xu Han. However, Xu Han could not remember who the owner of the voice was.

"Wake up!"

The voice was still ringing in Xu Han's ears, and the anxiety in his tone increased by a breath.

In his daze, Xu Han had already forgotten what kind of situation he was in. He only subconsciously opened his eyes slowly and with difficulty under the urging of the voice.

The purpose of entering was a vast white world.

Xu Han was no stranger to such a world. He had entered such a world more than once. It could be a divine sea of consciousness or a barrier opened by a major power.

Not surprisingly, Xu Han suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart. He pondered over his previous situation with a calm brow.

Although Xu Han's consciousness had temporarily stagnated, which made his brain ache, But after all, at this level, His resilience was far superior to an ordinary person's, Xu Han pondered for a moment before realizing what had happened. However, this did not make Xu Han feel any sense of rejoicing. Instead, it made him realize that the Crisis Ghost Corn was still spying on this world. As he fell, the Ghost Corn that feared him would definitely return. And before he fell, he did not complete the last step of all his plans.

Thinking of this, Xu Han's brows furrowed. He tried to break free from this boundless white world, but at this moment, he discovered that his limbs and bones no longer had the slightest bit of strength. They were so weak that they were inferior to ordinary people.

Although Xu Han had already guessed that the place he was in was extremely special, and it was far from something that could be broken by relying on strength, he couldn't help but feel worried when he thought of the dangers facing the world he was in. And because the power around him had somehow dissipated, Xu Han could do nothing even if he wanted to. Therefore, he could only look at the vast white world around him after a moment of silence. He said loudly, "It would be too much trouble for Your Excellency to set up such a barrier. If you want to trap someone like Xu, then I'm sure Your Excellency must have something else to do. Since that's the case, why not show yourself?" ? Is it a man who fears the head and tail? "

Of course, this was an extremely clumsy method of provocation, but Xu Han could not figure out the other party's origins, so he could only give it a try based on the idea of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

"But I'm not a man at all, am I?"

What Xu Han did not expect was that when his voice fell, a gentle voice came from the depths of the vast white world.

That voice came from the surroundings of the vast white world. Xu Han subconsciously raised his head and looked around. However, the world around him was still empty, and there were no figures or living creatures.

Xu Han frowned. He did not care whether the voice was male or female. However, he was secretly shocked that the other party was able to silently trap him in this world. It seemed that his cultivation was definitely not ordinary. He suppressed the peculiarities in his heart and pretended to be calm as he continued, "Men and women are good. Taking advantage of others' danger is not the work of a decent gentleman. What do you wish to do? Why don't you show yourself?"

"Haha." A clear laugh came from all over the world like a silver bell. "Smart tongue, you are thousands of times better than him in this aspect."

The voice said, Xu Han suddenly gushed out red objects from all directions in the world. They were like layers of gauze, surging in all parts of the world. Then, under the guidance of an invisible aura, these objects suddenly gathered towards Xu Han. In the blink of an eye, they turned into a fiery red figure in front of Xu Han.

Fire red, this kind of rhetoric was somewhat inappropriate for the figure's body.

She was dressed in a long red palace dress. On both sides of her long black hair, a small strand of hair was tied up by red ribbons, which fell on her shoulders. Her dripping lips were bright red, and from time to time, flames appeared in her black pupils. The strangest thing was that the woman's feet were naked, except for a bell tied to her right ankle.

From the moment she appeared, Xu Han could clearly feel that the temperature of this world seemed to have risen by a lot. Even though the other party did not intentionally activate the slightest bit of power, Xu Han, who was standing in front of her, could still feel a wave of heat pounding his face.

Therefore, Xu Han felt that words like fire red were not suitable for the woman in front of him. She seemed to be a ball of fire, a ball of fire that had never been extinguished since ancient times.

Apart from this feeling, Xu Han also smelled a familiar scent from this woman's body.

He vaguely felt as if he had seen this woman somewhere, or felt the aura pouring out of her body, but he said it was not true.

Seemingly sensing Xu Han's puzzlement, the woman standing in front of him actually smiled at Xu Han.

Naturally, Xu Han would not let go of his vigilance because of this. He continued to ask with deep eyes, "Who are you?"

The woman did not answer Xu Han's question immediately. Instead, her gaze fell on Xu Han. She looked back and forth. Her gaze was rather strange. It was not a measurement between enemies, nor was it a gaze between old friends. Instead, it was more like a lover who had reunited for a long time, carefully observing every tiny change in the other party.

What was even stranger was that under the gaze of the other party, Xu Han's heart actually surged with a certain kind of emotion. There was longing, guilt, reluctance, and throbbing in his heart. Xu Han was very clear that these emotions did not originate from him, but from some sort of emotion that came from the will hidden in his body. However, due to Xu Han's current situation, he was unable to trace the source of this. He could only look at the woman with even greater vigilance and ask again, "What exactly do you want to do?"

The woman still did not respond to Xu Han. She still focused her gaze on Xu Han and did not shift her gaze for a moment. Fortunately, she did not ignore Xu Han's question this time, "Take a look at you."

However, the answer she gave was ambiguous, and at the same time, Xu Han couldn't help but feel unhappy at being teased by the other party. However, Xu Han understood that he was currently under the eaves. For his own life, for the sake of getting out of this world, and for the sake of hiding the Heavenly Secrets of this world before Gui Gu Zi could kill him again, Xu Han had to temporarily suppress the anger in his heart. He said again, "Do I know Your Excellency?"

The woman shook her head decisively.

Then she turned around with her hands behind her back and paced back and forth in the white world. The bell at her ankle rang under her movements, and the voice echoed in the white world. "I just wanted to see what the person he chose and the world he wanted to protect looked like."

Xu Han frowned again. In the end, he did not like the other party's pretentious and profound manner of speaking, Especially at this juncture, Xu Han didn't seem to have delayed a single breath of time. It's a little more dangerous for that world, Although he tried his best to use the gentlest method possible to solve the sudden trouble before him, However, Xu Han's patience was finally exhausted. His eyebrows suddenly surged with killing intent, "Your Excellency has laid down such a barrier, and I will be trapped within it. If you still wish to continue this nonsense, I apologize for being unable to accompany you."

However, Xu Han's solemn words did not make the woman restrain herself. Instead, she lowered her head and covered her face with a chuckle. Her eyes were like autumn water, truly full of charm. Then she said coquettishly, "But if Young Noble doesn't accompany me, where can Young Noble go?"

Xu Han's expression changed at that time. Although he did not like the woman's frivolous attitude from the beginning, he had to admit that there was nothing wrong with the woman's words. Being in a world created by the other party's secret technique without the other party's permission, it was indeed not an easy task to rush out of this world by relying on his own strength.

However, Xu Han did not intend to give up. He closed his eyes and carefully sensed the situation in his body. He also probed the situation in this world.

He knew very well that his strength would definitely not disappear out of thin air. However, there were some secret techniques in the spirit formation created by this woman that isolated him from his own strength. As long as he could find the spirit formation's array hole and break its seal, he would be able to break through this spirit formation's obsession and rush out of the woman's restraints.

However, just as Xu Han had thought before, this was not an easy task in itself. Moreover, how could the woman in red standing beside him let him do this?

After a hundred breaths of time, Xu Han squeezed his brows together with his tightly closed eyes. The white world formed by this barrier was far stranger than Xu Han had imagined. He did not find anything after some scouting, Just as he was at a loss, The red-clothed woman beside him who hadn't said anything to disturb him suddenly sighed. "You absorbed the remnant soul of that half-demon back then, and devoured too much of the Emperor's power, At this moment in your body, The two wills competed endlessly, One of them was born by the will of the heavens, One was the only god known in the universe, "Even if the power gathered in your body is less than one percent of their peak, such an existence is far from something you can contend against. Although your divine sense is imprisoned in this barrier, it is also because of this barrier that you can temporarily avoid the attacks of those two godly wills."

Hearing this, Xu Han's heart trembled slightly. He had just exhausted all the solutions in his body, but he had not sensed the powerful power that should have existed in his body. At this moment, he realized that he was not here with his body, but with his divine sense imprisoned here. He couldn't help but be shocked, but he pretended to look calmly at the woman in red, "So, you trapped me in this barrier for my own good?"

The woman in red could hear the displeasure and suspicion in Xu Han's words, but she did not take it to heart. Instead, she changed her frivolous posture and her expression became solemn. "I don't have the heart to go through so much trouble for you. I just don't want his painstaking efforts to be wasted."

Xu Han was not a fool, although he still did not know what this woman was doing. However, there was one thing Xu Han could confirm. If the other party had the intention to harm him, there was no need for him to make such a troublesome move. Just by watching all of this quietly, and without even needing her to do anything, Gui Guzi would personally destroy Xu Han and the world Xu Han lived in.

However, Xu Han's heart was still filled with doubts about the woman. After hearing the woman's words, he frowned again and asked, "Him?"

In his conversation with the other party, the other party had mentioned such words more than once. Xu Han was very curious as to who she was referring to by "him".

The woman's burning eyes dimmed a little, but in the blink of an eye, she said in a calm voice, "The heroes who descended with the evil of this world are the ones who saved the dead in the starry sky. They are also the source of your soulless body's will, and they are also my husband."

Xu Han's heart trembled. How could he not guess what she meant when the woman spoke to such an extent?

The man the woman spoke of was the master of the pair of master and disciple that the emperor had spoken of. The master of the famous overseer of the universe, Xu Han had thought that he was the reincarnation of that man more than once. However, such an absurd idea didn't last long before it was exposed by the emperor. However, in his heart, there was a little bit of emotion that he couldn't understand about that man, but it was extremely special. After knowing that the woman in front of him was actually that person's wife, Xu Han couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

At this moment, Xu Han suddenly remembered the phoenix phantom that he had seen flying out of Ye Hongjian's body when he was unconscious.

His gaze towards the woman became even more frightened as if he had realized something.

"It's you? You're from Hongjian 's body.."

The woman did not wait for Xu Han to finish what he said. She nodded her head very straightforwardly. He then said, "It's me, but you don't have to worry. It's just that there's a trace of the Phoenix bloodline hidden within that girl's body, so we're staying in her body. It's good for her but not bad for her." "Since you know who I am, I think it's time for you to let go of your ridiculous vigilance. Not only did I not intend to harm you, I even prepared a big gift for you," the woman said with a solemn expression.

Xu Han actually had many questions hidden in his heart. For example, what kind of relationship did he have with that man, and how his fleshly body, which was supposed to be just a body, developed intelligence, He knew that the woman in front of him must know the answers to these questions, but at the same time, he knew that the outside world was once again shrouded in the shadows of those ghost valleys. He had no choice but to suppress the questions in his heart. At that time, he asked in a low voice, "What?"

The corners of the woman's mouth curled into a smile. She looked at Xu Han with all sorts of charm and then whispered, "A big secret."
