Chapter 424 Sword-wielding Order

There were not many pedestrians on the streets of Crossing Imperial City.

Zhen Yue stood outside the manor and took a deep look at the courtyard. Beside her, Hu Ma and the others were urging her to leave. Not far away, the apostles sent by Dark Asura Palace were quietly waiting.

"Boss, don't look anymore. It was someone who wanted to drive us away!" Hu Ma said with a frown.

He was somewhat indignant in his heart. It was true that Xu Han had saved them. If Xu Han hadn't released the Dark Asura Palace from their pursuit, they wouldn't have been able to receive the Dark Asura Palace's escort as they were now.

However, he still felt that Xu Han's attitude was too harsh, especially towards Zhen Yue.

Zhen Yue waited for a long time, but in the end, she did not see Xu Han come to see him off. She lowered her head in disappointment, turned around, and followed everyone to the messenger sent by Dark Asura Palace.

The leader was Yuan Xiucheng , one of the Ten Halls of the Dark Asura Palace that she and Xu Han had met that day!

The man wore a spring-like smile on his face. He bowed and pointed to the carriage behind him. "Miss, don't worry. I will definitely send you and your brothers to a safe place."

Hearing this, Zhen Yue nodded and whispered, "Thank you, Big Brother Yuan."

After saying that, she looked at the courtyard for the last time and finally stepped into the carriage.

…

In the manor, the middle-aged man's face was filled with grief.

"Little Han, I've told you so many times, why don't you listen to me? She's such a nice girl, why do you have to drive her away?"

"Even if you want to chase her away, there's no need for you to have such an attitude, right?"

"Even if you have a bad attitude, they will leave. Is it still okay to meet them?"

The more Chu Chouli spoke, the angrier he became. He surrounded Xu Han with a tone filled with sorrow for his misfortune and anger.

Ning Zhumang, who was sitting at the side, watched his nose and heart and drank his tea. He turned a blind eye to this situation.

Xue Ning frowned and sat at the side. Although she did not say anything, the expression on her face showed that she was dissatisfied with Xu Han's actions.

At this moment, Yan Zhan stood up and walked to Chu Chouli's side. He patted Chu Chouli's shoulder with a smile and said, "Brother Chu, you don't need to do this. In fact, Brother Xu is doing this for the good of Miss Zhen and the others."

"Why is it for Miss Zhen's own good?" Chu Chouli clearly did not understand Yan Zhan's words. He frowned and asked back.

"Brother Chu knows what happened yesterday." Yan Zhan smiled and said, "That Crimson Firmament Sect has an immortal heart. Yesterday, they used Miss Zhen's absence to deceive Brother Xu. Obviously, they have been staring at us all the time. Isn't Miss Zhen going to suffer this calamity if she follows us?"

"Although it was just a scam yesterday, the enemy was in the dark and I was in the open, but who knows if they will really kidnap Miss Zhen?"

Hearing this, Chu Chouli's expression slightly slowed down. He muttered, "How about this…"

But soon, the middle-aged man's expression changed again. "But this is the Royal City. Those people from the Crimson Firmament Sect dare not use force here even if they have the guts to do so."

Yan Zhan smiled and was about to say something.

At that time, Xue Ning, who had been quietly listening to all of this, suddenly changed her expression. Her eyes suddenly turned white, and at that time, her entire eyes were replaced by white things. Waves of white light shot out from her eyes.

At that moment, her body began to tremble, and dense traces of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Xue Ning!" Yan Zhan quickly noticed Xue Ning's abnormality. He quickly walked forward and hugged the girl's body. He anxiously asked, "Xue Ning! What's wrong with you?"

But at this moment, Xue Ning didn't seem to be able to hear anyone else's words. She grabbed Yan Zhan's hand tightly and said in an extremely low and hoarse tone, "Hurry up and leave."

"Hurry up and leave…"

"Immortal …"

"Swordsmanship!"

This kind of change was unexpected, but it was just as they were hesitating.

Boom!

A loud explosion came from outside the manor.

The rumbling sound was extremely loud, and there was also a violent tremor wrapped around it.

Everyone regained their senses and looked in the direction of the courtyard entrance. They could vaguely hear a group of hurried footsteps rushing towards them.

Not long after, a group of people rushed into the courtyard where everyone was, surrounding Xu Han and the others on the third floor.

At this moment, Xu Han and the others stared intently. There were both soldiers wearing armor and disciples wearing the unique clothes of the Crimson Firmament Sect. Moreover, there was a hatred and killing intent on everyone's faces. It was obvious that they had come with ill intentions.

"I don't see Blood Blade in the Imperial City. I'm sitting at home with a friend, but I don't want to suffer from the heavens. May I know what you mean by that?" After all, Xu Han was Xu Han. He quickly regained his senses and looked at the people around him. He asked coldly.

In this Heng Imperial City, the absence of the Blood Blade's words was not a rumor in Jianghu, but a practical rule.

It was rumored that Li Dongjun, who was still named Grand Xia State Master, was unwilling to see this blade appear in the city. In order to cater to this State Master, the Imperial Court set down the rule of not seeing the Blood Blade in Horizontal Imperial City.

Of course, Li Dongjun had long since disappeared. Although this rule still existed, it was no longer an iron law.

As long as you have enough determination and want to bear the consequences, the rules can also make way for you.

Obviously, Lu Houde , who had walked out of the open passage, had already made up his mind to do so.

He looked at Xu Han with a sinister smile. A bronze token in his hand was repeatedly tossed up and caught by him. Beside him was the Li Clan's prince, Li Moding !

"You surnamed Xu, do you really think you can rest easy just by hiding in the Crossing Imperial City?" He asked with a complacent expression, but his eyes flashed with fanaticism. He couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to return the resentment he had accumulated over the past few days to the youth in front of him.

Xu Han frowned. Judging from the expression on Lu Houde's face, it was not difficult for him to deduce that Lu Houde's actions had clearly been planned for a long time. As for the crux of all this, if he thought back to Xue Ning's words, he was sure that the other party dared to put up such a large formation in the Crossing Imperial City to surround them, it was obviously related to the token in Lu Houde's hand.

The sword command.

Xu Han muttered this phrase in his heart, but he had to admit that he had never heard of it before.

"What? Prince Li and Elder Lu can't afford to lose, can they? Come and find me to report the enmity at the Dragon Gate Meeting?" But on the surface, Xu Han still asked calmly, unwilling to reveal the turbulence in his heart in front of his opponent.

"Young Master Xu, how can you think like this?" Li Moding laughed and said at that time. Although he had a brilliant smile on his face as a peacemaker, the schadenfreude in the depths of his eyes could not be concealed from Xu Han's eyes.

"The victory or defeat of the Dragon Gate Association depends on your own abilities. Young Master Xu has such a cultivation at such a young age. We are naturally convinced. I came here today for official business, not for personal grievances."

Li Moding 's expression turned serious as he spoke, and his previous smile dissipated at that time.

"The Crimson Firmament Sect sues Xu Hanyan Zhan and the others for seizing the sect's most precious treasure. The Sword Handling Pavilion Master has requested a sword command. Jianghu matters have occurred. This king will only bring his troops here to protect this courtyard. Everyone is arrogant, but there is one thing that should not harm ordinary people!" After saying that, the Li Clan's prince retreated. The guards also followed Li Moding and dismissed all the outsiders within a mile of the courtyard, while the guards surrounded this place.

Seeing this, Lu Houde said, The expression on his face became even more serious. He took out the sword command in his hand and inserted a True Essence into it. At that moment, the simple token trembled violently. His body paused and he flew over Xu Han and the others. Then, a golden light shot out from the token. A golden barrier enveloped the entire area from a hundred feet above the dome.

The expressions of Xu Han and the others who had never seen such a scene changed.

"Under this formation, unless an immortal makes a move, no true essence fluctuation can break through the formation triggered by the sword-wielding command." At this time, Yan Zhan finally calmed down Xue Ning, who had undergone a strange change. He winked at Chu Chouli and asked the burly man to bring Xue Ning to the backyard, while he came to Xu Han's ear and said this.

"The Sword Handling Token is something that was refined to settle some disputes in Jianghu that must be resolved in Horizontal Imperial City. There are only ten in the Sword Handling Pavilion, all of which are in the hands of Pavilion Master Xiao Ran. It will cost a great price to obtain this item. It seems that the Crimson Firmament Sect is going to kill us all this time."

After all, Yan Zhan was a native of Great Xia, so he was very clear about these rules.

Hearing this, Xu Han and Ning Zhumang exchanged glances and saw a serious expression in each other's eyes.

"Little brat, I'll settle this with you today." Seeing Xu Han and the others acting like this, Lu Houde's anger was mostly out of his heart, but he naturally wouldn't let Xu Han and the others off like this.

If Xu Han and the others hadn't stolen the invitation cards of his disciples, making it difficult for him to explain to the sect, why would he have paid such a high price to obtain this sword-wielding order?

Moreover, aside from this, the Golden Crow True Fire that concerned the safety of the next Heavenly Tribulation gave Lu Houde sufficient reason to kill these people and force him to ask about the whereabouts of the Golden Crow True Fire.

Once he did this, not only would his sect leader not punish him for the Dragon Gate Gathering, he would also reward him greatly for such a great contribution.

Thinking of this, Lu Houde 's eyes immediately lit up with fanaticism.

"Formation!" He let out a loud shout at that time, and hundreds of disciples immediately lined up behind him. Hu Man'er and her husband, Xing Zhen, immediately stood on both sides of Lu Houde.

The three Great Evolution Realm experts, together with the battle formation formed by the hundreds of elite disciples, unleashed an unimaginably terrifying power in front of Xu Han and the others at that moment.
