Chapter 272 1 Blade

The rain in the Gu Forest became heavier and heavier.

The rain slammed against the ground, releasing a series of dripping sounds.

The heavy rain seemed to engulf and drown the pitch-black world.

The youth walked calmly in the rain.

Blood mixed with rain continuously flowed out of his heart-shaking wounds.

Hunger, coldness, and death follow like maggots on a tarsal bone.

He tightly gripped the dagger in his hands, one with "Sheng" carved on it and the other with "Frost" carved on it.

He was already very weak, but he still held the two daggers.

He knew that this would be his only hope of surviving in this pitch-black forest.

Yeah, I have to live.

Xiao Han, you have to live too.

As the youth thought about this, he finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell into the heavy rain.

…

Liu Sheng regained consciousness from the dream that had troubled him for many years.

Xiao Han?

His eyes glowed with blood. The two daggers that he had always carried with him were once again taken out of his bosom and held in his hand.

He frowned and stared fixedly at the handwriting on the dagger.

It was already late and there was no candlelight in the room, but the dense night did not affect his sight.

It was unknown when he had such a skill.

He could not remember who Xiao Han was, or perhaps other than his own life, Liu Sheng, the only person he remembered was the name Xiao Han. However, other than that, all the memories of the past had long disappeared from his mind.

Of course, there was also that dream.

The heavy rain, the dark forest, and the youth who had faintly fallen into a pool of blood.

Who was he? The owner of this dagger? Or his closest relative?

Liu Sheng could not remember, but he was always troubled by it.

He felt that he should go and see him and answer all the questions in his heart.

Undoubtedly, this was very important to him.

…

"Are you thinking about the past again?" A murmur suddenly sounded in the darkness.

Liu Sheng raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice.

The man was dressed in a black robe, and his body almost merged with the dense night in the room. Even with his night vision, Liu Sheng was still unable to see the man's appearance clearly, but he knew who he was.

He felt the aura coming from that person and raised his eyebrows.

"Deacon Yuan… Oh, no, shouldn't I call you Judge Yuan now?" Liu Sheng put away the two daggers without revealing any traces and said in a deep voice.

"It's just a name. As long as you're willing, you can call me whatever you want." The figure in the darkness said indifferently.

"How are things going with Xia Chao?" The figure then asked.

"Cui Ting has gained momentum and has taken over Long Zhou again. Next, he will petition the Imperial Court to leave Ji Zhou again." Liu Sheng stood up and replied.

"Chen Country." The figure in the darkness spat out two words that were not relevant to the conversation.

Liu Sheng's body trembled as he looked at that person in confusion.

"The Sword Dragon Guan Mu Clan's army suffered heavy losses. Big Yellow City is waiting to be rejuvenated. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Chen Country." However, the silhouette in the darkness had no intention of discussing with him. He spat out those two words again.

Liu Sheng frowned, "Is this what the Ten Halls of Yama mean?"

The room suddenly fell into silence.

After a few breaths, the candles in the room suddenly lit up and the black aura surrounding the figure dissipated. At that time, Liu Sheng finally saw the figure's appearance clearly.

Of course, he did not change his appearance. What changed was that his red python robe had already been replaced with a white brocade robe embroidered with a black dragon.

The man looked at Liu Sheng, his scarlet lips slightly raised. He smiled and said, "I am Yama."

"What" When Liu Sheng saw the clothes on that person's body clearly, a wisp of dense shock appeared in his eyes.

"Let me see, what did that Song Emperor Yama say to you? Did he say that I'm a spy for Tiance Prefecture? Did he say that I should be on guard?" The man seemed to have anticipated Liu Sheng's shocked expression. He smiled faintly and said softly in front of Liu Sheng.

This was indeed what Emperor Song Yanluo had said to Liu Sheng. Or perhaps, at the upper echelons of Dark Asura Palace, Yuan Xiucheng was a spy of the Tian Ce Mansion. This matter was something that everyone had tacitly acknowledged.

No matter how one looked at it, it was inconceivable that such a spy could sit in the Ten Halls of Yama's seat.

"So what? King Ksitigarbha trusts me, or he understands me, so …" The man stopped his footsteps. He extended his hand and gently pointed between Liu Sheng's eyebrows. The veins on his slender and fair arm were coiled like a venomous snake. "Go tell Cui Ting that what he wants to attack is not the Sword Dragon Pass, but the Chen Kingdom's Changwu Pass!"

As he said this, the man's mouth clearly carried a faint smile, but a dense aura enveloped Liu Sheng.

After a moment of silence, Liu Sheng finally nodded obediently.

"Yes." He replied in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Yuan Xiucheng revealed a smile. He withdrew the finger he had pressed on Liu Sheng's forehead. At the same time, the terrifying might that enveloped Liu Sheng's body also dissipated.

"With Zhu Xian in Great Zhou, he will be in the possession of our Dark Asura Palace sooner or later, but Munch of the Chen Kingdom is a hard bone to chew on."

The man said again.

These words caused Liu Sheng's expression to change slightly. Actually, there was no need for a man to explain this to him. However, he seemed to have said it casually. It was like a kind of teaching. The man seemed to have seen through his doubts and continued, "Do a good job. King Ksitigarbha values you very much. If this matter is done properly, the Ten Halls of Yama will have your place."

Liu Sheng did not care about the so-called position of Yama, but once he became one of the Ten Halls of Yama, it meant that he could mobilize the vast majority of the Dark Asura Hall's strength, so it would not be so difficult for him to figure out his own background.

He looked at the man in front of him and finally said to the dialect, "Thank you."

"Alright, I'll leave the matters of Great Xia to you." The man did not respond to Liu Sheng's gratitude. He smiled faintly and acted as if he was about to leave.

"Aren't you staying?" Liu Sheng was stunned. The Dark Asura Palace had just established itself in Great Xia. How could the palace be at ease and hand over everything here to him without sending a Yama to supervise it? This was somewhat unjustifiable.

"I still have some important matters to attend to. If I have time, I can experience the grand occasion of the Great War of Chen Xia with you."

"Something important? What is it?" Liu Sheng frowned again. The situation in Great Xia was related to the next plan of Dark Asura Palace. He really could not think of anything that could compare to this.

When the man heard this, he raised his eyes to the south. His gaze was so deep that it seemed as if he could cross many mountain paths and reach the lofty Academy.

"Let's go take a look. The last and most brilliant blade in the world."
