Chapter 465 Sure

Nangong Jing and Nangong Zhuo were in a bad mood.

It took them a lot of effort to find a way to enter the lower floor of the tower from Xiao Ran. Compared to most newly promoted swordsmen, Nangong siblings, who had been swordsmen for five years, knew more or less about the tower. They knew that finding the entrance was one of the most important problems they had to face in the tower.

It was just that they managed to come up with this method, but the two of them were teleported to the edge of the Demon Suppressing Tower.

One had to know that the first floor of the Demon Suppressing Tower was extremely vast. Even as a Great Evolution Realm cultivator, Nangong Jing had to spend eight to nine hours to reach the center of the tower. And this delay was enough to make them fall behind most of the cultivators by a large margin…

This was a thunderbolt from the blue for the siblings who were bent on snatching away the origin demonic power of the ninth level of the Illusory Demon.

Nangong Zhuo's temperament was indifferent. There were quite a few soldiers who came to cover up the smell of water and earth. However, Nangong Jing did not have such good intentions. Along the way, he almost did not spit out a single word from her mouth.

Knowing her sister's temperament, Nangong Zhuo naturally didn't dare to touch her eyebrows, so he could only remain silent.

Although the Nangong Clan seemed to outsiders to be a great clan with a great cause and one of the three great sects in charge, its father, Nangong Zhen, was known as the number one sword dao master of the Grand Xia, enough to be on par with Mount Li, Yan Qianqiu, and Yue Fuyao of Heavenly Battle City. However, as the Crimson Firmament Sect grew bigger and bigger these past few years, the situation was not optimistic. Nangong Zhen had even placed all his hopes on Nangong Jing. Therefore, this trip to the Demon Suppressing Tower was extremely important to Nangong Jing.

At this moment, Nangong Jing, who had been rushing along with a sullen head, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"What's the matter?" Nangong Zhuo's heart trembled. He thought that he had done something to provoke his sister, so he hurriedly asked carefully.

However, Nangong Jing ignored him and turned his head to look not far behind him.

Nangong Zhuo was stunned and hurriedly turned to look.

Not far away, a youth carrying a long sword was slowly walking towards them.

"It's him?" Nangong Zhuo's expression changed slightly. This person's fierce reputation was impressive. He had personally witnessed the slaughter of three Great Evolution Realm experts in front of many swordsmen with his own strength.

At this time, the youth had already arrived in front of the siblings.

He raised his hand at that moment.

Nangong Jing frowned, and Nangong Zhuo subconsciously took a step back.

"The road is long. Would you two like to go with me?" The youth cupped his hands and asked.

Seeing that the other party was not going to make a move, Nangong Zhuo let out a long sigh of relief. He was about to answer, but before he could say anything, Nangong Jing's voice rang out first, "Not willing."

Nangong Zhuo's undead suddenly burst out. This brat was not the vegetarian master. His elder sister had rejected the other party so decisively. If the fight really started, with the battle power this youth displayed in the Swordsman Competition, the two siblings might not be opponents.

Thinking of this, Nangong Zhuo cautiously looked at the youth and became vigilant.

But who knew that the youth was not angry, and even the smile on his face had not diminished by the slightest.

He just stood there and stared at Nangong Jing without saying a word.

Nangong Zhuo looked at his older sister, whose brows were furrowing deeper and deeper, and at the teenager whose smile was more than one moment old. He was even more confused and could not understand what the two of them were doing.

Could it be the legendary method of transmitting sound through the air?

Nangong Zhuo's gaze towards Nangong Jing grew even more admiring when he thought that his elder sister would still possess such a divine ability.

…

Nangong Jing and Xu Han were in a stalemate for about a hundred breaths.

"Humph!" Suddenly, Nangong Jing let out a cold snort and turned around, "Let's go!"

Hearing this, Nangong Zhuo regained his senses. He did not dare to investigate what had happened. He could only take a deep look at Xu Han and hurriedly left with Nangong Jing.

However, just as he took this step, he suddenly came to his senses.

It turned out that Xu Han had no intention of obtaining their consent at all. He actually followed them from afar, clearly wanting to hitch a ride to the entrance. As for his older sister, she had seen through this from the beginning and tried to drive the other party away, but the other party did not pay any attention to her. That silence just now was naturally not the sound transmission he had imagined, but a confrontation.

Of course, at this moment, it seemed that the final result was that her elder sister had compromised.

Nangong Zhuo couldn't help but curse himself for being slow, but Nangong Jing had chosen to compromise because he was apparently afraid of Xu Han. Naturally, he couldn't ask for trouble from himself. He could only acquiesce in such an outcome.

Furthermore, although he was a little afraid of Xu Han, he did not have much ill feeling towards him. Instead, he felt that Xu Han had gotten rid of the three people who had been so tyrannical in Great Xia and Lu Houde , which was quite pleasant to the hearts of the people.

As a result, the three of them headed back and forth once again.

Xu Han, who was following behind the two of them, gradually noticed something.

Compared to his everywhere groping, the two of them were different. The pace of their actions was extremely purposeful. This was also the reason why Xu Han had made up his mind to follow the two of them from the beginning. In his opinion, Nangong Jing and Nangong Zhuo were important members of the Sword Handling Pavilion after all. Perhaps there would be some inside information. At this moment, it seemed that his guess was close.

Hence, Xu Han simply put up with his temper and leisurely followed behind the two of them. He did not believe that Nangong Jing would deliberately delay his journey to the upper echelons of the Demon Suppressing Tower in order to get rid of his troubles.

Very quickly, Xu Han's guess was confirmed.

Not far away in the wilderness, three black shadows suddenly appeared. They weren't cultivators who entered the tower, but three illusory demons that were born like jackals and covered in barbs and sarcomas!

The closer they went to the center, the denser the demonic energy, and the denser the existence of the Illusory Demons. Being able to meet the Illusory Demons meant that the three of them were approaching the center of the first floor of the Demon Suppressing Tower.

At this moment, the three Illusory Demons also discovered traces of Xu Han and the others. They were originally products of the condensation of demonic energy, and they only knew how to chase after flesh and blood without any intelligence or fear.

After discovering the tracks of the three, the three Illusory Demons' eyes immediately turned red as they charged towards the three of them.

The Illusory Demon Cultivation base of the first level was roughly around the Third Realm Pill Sun Realm, Such combat strength was naturally inconspicuous to Xu Han and the others. Nangong Jing, who was already in an unhappy mood, immediately found a place to vent his anger. At that moment, a long sword that flashed with cold light was held in her hand. Her body trembled and her True Essence surged as she was about to slay the three Illusory Demons.

But at this moment, a figure flashed past the two of them and rushed out.

It was Xu Han.

The sword behind him was unsheathed, and a sword light flashed past, causing the three Illusory Demons to land on the ground in an instant.

The youth's sword trembled, and purple blood dripped down. The pitch-black blade was spotless. He didn't forget to turn around and smile at Nangong Jing. "You two have worked hard to lead the way. Leave these demons and devils to me," he said.

Seeing this, Nangong Jing's anger, which had just been suppressed, immediately flew up again.

One had to know that there were rules in the Demon Suppressing Tower. Whoever killed the Illusory Demon, the demonic power would belong to him. Although Nangong Jing didn't like the demonic power of the low-level Illusory Demon at all, Xu Han's actions were more like a provocation to her.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with anger. At this moment, she stared fiercely at Xu Han, as if a flame was rising in her eyes.

The nearby Nangong Zhuo saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly pulled his usually irritable sister. After all, even if the demonic power produced by the Illusory Demon was given to them, they would not take it. Xu Han's actions did not affect them either. He was afraid that Nangong Jing would lose to Xu Han because of a battle of will. At that time, there would be no benefits for them.

Nangong Jing seemed to have thought of this as well. After a violent ups and downs, her chest finally suppressed this anger.

At this moment, the three heads of the Illusory Demons suddenly began to scatter into dust like flowing light. At that moment, three incomparably thin strands of light purple matter gushed out from their scattered bodies and flew into Xu Han's hands.

This was the origin demonic power within the Illusory Demon's body.

Xu Han scrutinized the three thin threads in his hand and suddenly frowned.

"Haha, Brother Xu, this thing is useless. Let's hurry up and go to the higher levels to find it." Nangong Zhuo, who was standing at the side, said warmly. However, before he could finish his words, Xu Han suddenly gripped his hand and the three strands of demonic energy were sucked into his body.

"This" Nangong Zhuo was stunned. This low-level demonic energy was useless to cultivators of their level. Moreover, once they absorbed enough demonic energy, the Demon Suppressing Tower would send them out of the tower. Xu Han's actions seemed to him to be akin to throwing away everything. He subconsciously wanted to warn them.

But this time, before his words could be spoken, a sharp pain came from his forehead.

However, it was Nangong Jing who fiercely rewarded him with a chestnut.

"Since Young Master Xu likes this demonic power, just give it to him. You're a petty fellow. We will all be colleagues of the Sword Handling Pavilion in the future. How can we not bear to part with these things?" At that moment, Nangong Jing's reprimand sounded.

Nangong Zhuo instantly reacted. His elder sister was clearly deceiving Xu Han because she did not know the rules of the Demon Suppressing Tower and deliberately deceived him. Originally, he wanted to tear this apart, but at that time, Nangong Jing gave him a fierce look. Nangong Zhuo immediately felt guilty and shrunk his neck, swallowing the words that had reached his mouth.

"Since Young Noble has kindly helped me and my siblings clean up these Illusory Demons, it's unlikely that all the Illusory Demons on the road will belong to Young Noble. Of course, these demonic powers will also belong to Young Noble." At that time, Nangong Jing smiled and said, as if he had changed his face.

After digesting the three strands of demonic energy, Xu Han raised his head and looked at Nangong Jing with a smile on his face.

He nodded and replied straightforwardly, "Alright!"
