On the morning of the second day, the group of people set out again.
The journey to Yanzhou was longer than expected, Because Master Wei has to find stalls in cities and towns to earn tolls every day, Everyone had no choice but to follow the route of arriving at the town every day. Naturally, this method would inevitably lead to detours. Fortunately, the grand gathering of the Dragon Hidden Temple would only begin in March of next year, and there was still plenty of time. Everyone had no objections to this.
"Master Wei, I heard that at our destination today, there is a famous delicacy called Quicksand in Wuzhou Town. According to legend, the top quality pork ribs are placed on the iron plate, covered with yellow sand, seasonings and green onions."
Just after breakfast, Chu Chouli, who was chewing on steamed buns, arrived in front of Master Wei and began to talk to the old man. As for the purpose, it was obvious that he had made a lot of money yesterday. Thus, Chu Chouli wanted to instigate the old gentleman to make a tooth sacrifice today.
Looking at Chu Chouli, who had put all his effort into this gossip, Ning Zhumang shook his head helplessly and turned to look at Xu Han, who was beside him. "Brother Xu seems to have made some progress in his cultivation," Ning Zhumang said.
"Yes, thanks to your guidance, sir, we have already reached the Heavenly Hunt Realm." Xu Han nodded and said without any hesitation.
He knew very well that Ning Zhumang's cultivation was already at the Great Evolution Realm. He could see through this old gentleman's extraordinary abilities, let alone Ning Zhumang's?
"Master Wei is indeed an expert." Ning Zhumang raised his head to look at the old man who was slowly moving forward by the big box and turned a blind eye to Chu Chouli, who was chattering like a fly, and sincerely praised him.
However, after he finished speaking, his expression darkened slightly, as if he was in the mood to say something, so he hesitated to say anything.
Xu Han looked at all of this and placed the black cat on his shoulder on Aowu's head. Then, he asked Ning Zhumang, "Is Headmaster Ning worried about Ziyu?"
Ning Zhumang was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he still said truthfully, "I've been looking for her in the Chen Kingdom for nearly half a year. I haven't even sneaked into the Imperial Palace to find any trace of her. Even Meng Liang, who went with her to the Chen Kingdom, disappeared."
Hearing this, Xu Han frowned slightly. Of course, he had heard Ning Zhumang say this long ago. He only wanted to confirm Fang Ziyu's safety. The best way was to contact Liu Sheng, who was ranked in the Senluo Palace. However, Xu Han did not have a particularly good way to accomplish this, so he had put this matter on hold.
But now that Fang Ziyu's whereabouts are unknown, it is indeed quite disadvantageous for Fang Ziyu to drag it down. Xu Han thought for a while before saying, "Don't be impatient. Wait until the next stop in Wuzhou Town, I'll think of a way. Perhaps I can find the whereabouts of Fang Ziyu."
Ning Zhumang was stunned for a moment, then his face revealed joy. He was very clear about Xu Han's temperament. Although he was young, he was rather calm and dignified. Since he had said so, it seemed that he was not lying.
"Then I thank Brother Xu." At that time, Ning Zhumang was going to bow to Xu Han.
However, Xu Han did not dare to accept his kindness and hurriedly extended his hand to support Ning Zhumang at that time. He said, "There is no need for Headmaster Ning to do this. Ziyu and I are close friends. These are just matters within Xu's reach."
"Brother Yan, run! Leave me alone!"
As the two of them prevaricated, a woman's exclamation came from afar.
It was accompanied by the sound of swords and sabers, as well as the fluctuations triggered by the washing of True Essence.
The four of them stopped at that time. Chu Chouli bore the brunt and hid behind Master Wei . Meanwhile, Xu Han and Ning Zhumang exchanged glances. Their expressions were solemn as they were about to carefully sense where the True Essence fluctuations came from.
However, at this moment, two figures suddenly flew out of the dense forest covered in snow and landed impartially on the road between the people.
Everyone stared intently at him, but they couldn't help but have strange expressions when they saw him.
These two figures were neither others nor the man and woman who gave generously for Master Wei 's shadow play yesterday.
At this moment, their expressions were in a sorry state, their clothes were torn apart, and the man's body carried more than ten injuries of all sizes. The two of them struggled to support each other as they stood up and looked at Xu Han and the others. Obviously, they recognized them as well. At that time, the woman hurriedly said, "Everyone, leave quickly!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, several figures shot out of the dense forest and surrounded everyone, including Xu Han.
The leader was an old man dressed in gray. His hair was white, and his body was thin but not old. On the contrary, he was walking with a tiger in the wind. Xu Han's eyes narrowed at that time, and he could tell that the old man's cultivation was not ordinary. He was afraid that he was an expert in the Great Evolution Realm. At this moment, the old man noticed the existence of the crowd. He stepped forward and cupped his hands towards Xu Han and the others. He said in a deep voice, "The Crimson Firmament Sect of Qi Province has cleaned up the door. Everyone, please do me a favor."
Chu Chouli had told Xu Han long ago that Great Xia Jianghu was known as a sect of three sects and twelve towns.
The three sects mentioned were the Demon Heaven Sect, the Extreme Extreme Sect, and the Crimson Firmament Sect.
Obviously, he could be ranked among the three sects. This Crimson Firmament Sect was obviously a huge monster. At this moment, it was much easier for this old man to raise such a name to scare Xu Han and the others so as not to cause any complications.
At that time, Xu Han glanced at the old man. Before he could say anything, the severely injured man shouted, "Bah, what are you cleaning up? Ning'er has already left your Crimson Firmament Sect. You old thief clearly have a personal grievance in your heart and want to do something bad!"
"Hmph! Yan Zhan! You are a demon, I am a righteous path. There is no need for me to use an excuse to kill you. It is only natural for me to kill you. No matter what you say, today is destined to be the day of your death!" The old man said sternly. The dozens of experts with cultivation above the Heavenly Hunt realm beside him instantly moved. They seemed to have formed a formation around the old man, sealing off the path of the man named Yan Zhan.
"Is that so? If you want my life, you need to see if you, Lu Houde , have the guts to take it!" The middle-aged man named Yan Zhan shouted at that time, At that moment, the woman beside him was gently sent out of the ring of battle. At that moment, the man's clothes were stirred up. A majestic aura surged out of his body. His hair was raised, and four huge chains extended from his back. Two of them were firmly inserted into the ground. Two of them wrapped around his arms and were finally held in his hand.
The two sides were about to start a war.
But at this moment, an extremely discordant voice suddenly rang out.
"Yan Zhan, Yan Zhan of the Devil Heaven Sect, so you are the Devil Heaven Sect Elder who eloped with the female disciple of the Crimson Heaven Sect?" A sloppy middle-aged man said loudly, looking at the man in front of him with curiosity, as if he could not feel the atmosphere around him. In the end, he didn't forget to look at Yan Zhan up and down, and said in a surprised tone, "It's not necessarily much better than someone Chu. How come no pretty girl is willing to elope with someone Chu?"
Yan Zhan, who had a solemn expression on his face, was also confused by this big fellow's unreasonable actions, so he didn't know how to respond for a moment.
On the other side, the old man named Lu Houde regarded Chu Chouli's actions as a provocation. His eyes lit up with killing intent, and he immediately shouted, "You're courting death!"
As soon as these words left his mouth, he and the experts surrounding Yan Zhan suddenly moved.
These disciples of the Crimson Firmament Sect obviously had a murderous intent, and their attacks were fierce, taking Chu Chouli and Yan Zhan's face.
Seeing this, Xu Han thought to himself. Although Chu Chouli's behavior was a little strange, he would never drop the chain again. It was indeed strange to suddenly participate in this matter, but the current situation clearly did not allow Xu Han to think about it.
"Be careful!" At that time, he shouted and his body suddenly moved forward. Ning Zhumang's reaction was not slower than Xu Han's, and he also rushed forward at that time.
With a clanging sound, the sword on Xu Han's back was unsheathed. Three thousand sword shadows poured down like a rainstorm, attacking everyone behind but outside the rain of swords.
At that time, Ning Zhumang landed on the front of Chu Chouli. True essence surged in his body, and a huge red lion suddenly appeared behind him. At that time, the lion let out a long roar and True essence surged. The old man's direct slaughter was completely shattered by this roar.
However, no one noticed that Master Wei, who had been watching the situation from afar with narrowed eyes, had a change in expression when he saw the sword in Xu Han's hand that triggered the three thousand sword shadows. He lowered his eyebrows.
Lu Houde, who had never expected to encounter such an unexpected change in the border region of Long Zhou, also had an extremely gloomy expression. He looked at Xu Han and the others in shock and uncertainty for a long time before he said in a deep voice, "Do you mean you want to go against our Crimson Firmament Sect?"
At this moment, Yan Zhan, who was standing at the side, came to his senses. He didn't want the Jianghu artists that he had offered a tael of silver yesterday to be such hidden experts. But even so, he still said, "I appreciate your kindness, but it's just a matter of Yan. I don't want to implicate you. If you really want to help me, please help me take good care of Ning'er. I will stall these people to death."
Hearing this, Xu Han curled his lips. He smiled bitterly in his heart. If Chu Chouli hadn't suddenly become muddled, why would he have come to this muddy water? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his eyes and glared fiercely at Chu Chouli. The burly man knew that he was in the wrong and laughed foolishly. Xu Han felt helpless towards this. He could only look at the old man with a calm expression and cupped his hands and said, "Please spare me. Senior, please return."
Lu Houde was obviously not an easy person. How could he be fooled by Xu Han's simple words? He immediately sneered and said, "What if I don't return?"
Hearing this, Xu Han raised his head to look at the snowflakes that were getting heavier and heavier, and said regretfully.
"The heavy snow is pouring down. In just a hundred breaths, it can cover three feet. It just so happens to cover up the corpses of everyone."
