It was unknown if it was the tone Xu Han was speaking in, or if it was something strange that only Luo Mo could feel. After hearing this, Luo Mo's expression changed slightly. He looked at Xu Han with deep eyes. Although he did not speak, the cold light between his eyebrows restored a breath.
Xu Han acted as if he hadn't seen this. He looked at Huang Yu behind Luo Mo with a smile and asked, "Brother Huang, can I ask when did you meet Elder Luo Gu Ming ?"
Huang Yu hadn't expected Xu Han to ask him a question at this moment. He was slightly stunned, but perhaps he was also shaken by Xu Han's previous words, so after hesitating, he still said, "It's almost 11 o'clock."
"What did you say?" Xu Han asked again.
Huang Yu continued, "The Sect Leader has ascended to the Immortal Realm … and …" After saying this, Huang Yu paused for a moment and looked at Luo Mo in front of him, as if he was seeking confirmation of something. However, the black-robed immortal's expression was cold at this moment, and he did not care about the gaze Huang Yu had given him.
"Brother Huang, if you want Elder Luo to die in peace under the Nine Springs, please tell me the truth." Xu Han's voice sounded again at that moment.
Hearing this, Huang Yu felt as if he had been stabbed in the ribs. His body trembled, and he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Also, Headmaster Luo is preparing to marry the daughter of the Scarlet Firmament Sect Elder Wu Mingqiu in the mountain gate."
Everyone's expressions changed when they heard this.
Luo Mo married the daughter of Wu Mingqiu, one of the three immortals of the Crimson Firmament Sect. This meant that the Sunset Cloud Valley would completely fall towards the Crimson Firmament Sect. Naturally, it was self-evident how this would affect the situation in Great Xia.
"How is it?" Xu Han asked again.
This question caused Huang Yu to fall into silence again. Of course, this silence was not because of the same reason as before, but because he did not immediately understand what Xu Han was asking.
However, after all, he had been in Jianghu for many years, and soon came to his senses. At that time, he said, "Elder Luo has some objections to this matter."
Objection?
This word was naturally extremely obscure, but those familiar with the situation in Sunset Cloud Valley in the past few years all understood that Luo Gu Ming hated the Crimson Firmament Sect to the bone, so how could it be as simple as the word dissent?
The Scarlet Firmament Sect's suppression of Sunset Cloud Valley over the past few years was practically unconcealed. In order to protect the sect, the Luo brothers had tried their best to find a way out. In the end, they relied on Luo Gu Ming to enter the Sword Handling Pavilion at the cost of reducing their lifespan and completely cutting off their own path of immortality. Only then did the Scarlet Firmament Sect restrain its status as a Golden-cloak Swordressed Swordswordswordsman. There was even a rumor that behind the death of the Sunset Cloud Valley's Cactus Sect was the shadow of the Crimson Firmament Sect.
Previously, Sunset Cloud Valley had no choice but to choose between the Sword Handling Pavilion and Crimson Firmament Sect in order to continue the sect. However, now that Luo Mo had arrived at the Immortal Dimension, Sunset Cloud Valley had a bargaining chip to settle down. With Luo Gu Ming 's stubborn temperament, it was impossible for him to agree to this marriage. Thinking of this, everyone more or less understood what Xu Han was going to say, so their gazes towards Luo Mo immediately became strange.
"What do you want to say?" Luo Mo naturally felt this. His gaze became gloomier and gloomier, and a trace of undetectable killing intent appeared in his tone.
However, Xu Han still ignored the immortal's words. He looked at Huang Yu and continued to ask, "Brother Huang, can you tell us when you released the Flowing Shadow Pigeon that sent the message?"
This time, Huang Yu did not hesitate. He only thought for a while before saying, "Because of the middle turn, the fact that it took some time to investigate the situation and avoid the spies, it was almost 11 o'clock when the Flowing Shadow Pigeon was released. It was almost midnight."
"Brother Huang also said that the Luo Clan is still preparing for the wedding. Sunset Cloud Valley is located at the junction of Yong Province and Yan Province. Although it is not far, it is still a thousand kilometers away. How long does Brother Huang think it will take to reach the mountain gate with the speed of a Flowing Shadow Pigeon?"
"About three hours."
"Yes." Hearing this answer, Xu Han nodded his head. "Three hours later, the Flowing Shadow Pigeon arrived at the mountain gate. At the end of the morning, before it was time, Headmaster Luo came to my mansion to ask for your forgiveness." I've heard of this before. This immortal's might is different from ours. In the past, I didn't think much of this, but today I know that I'm ignorant. "So it turns out that an immortal actually has such ability. It is thousands of miles away and can arrive in an hour. I really admire him."
After saying this, Xu Han finally looked at the black-robed immortal for the first time. The corners of his mouth and eyebrows smiled even more.
At this moment, the crowd also came back to their senses, their faces filled with shock. Of course, these people also included Huang Yu, who knew everything about Xu Han before.
Because he was shocked and saddened by Luo Gu's death, he didn't think about it carefully. Only now did he wake up after hearing Xu Han's words. His gaze towards Luo Mo was filled with surprise and disbelief.
Luo Mo's eyebrows sank as he said, "So what? Brother and I are very close. When we received the Flowing Shadow Pigeon, we were already in great pain. We naturally didn't do what he wanted to do at the first possible moment and rushed here with all our might. Do you think it would be difficult for us to arrive as immortals for an hour?"
Whether it was impossible for an immortal to travel a thousand miles in an hour was debatable. After all, there were very few immortals in this world, and no one would really have the time to do such calculations. Hence, the question Xu Han had thrown out was obviously something that could not be verified.
However, Xu Han did not reveal the slightest bit of frustration. He only had a calm brow and a bitter expression as he asked, "So, after receiving the news of the death from the Flowing Shadow Pigeon, Headmaster Luo rushed to Heng Imperial City, right?"
Luo Mo only gave Xu Han a cold glance, which was considered a tacit acknowledgement, but he did not answer.
This was enough for Xu Han.
He smiled faintly and turned to look at Huang Yu, who had a strange expression on his face. "Then how many more Flowing Shadow Pigeons did Brother Huang release?" He asked.
Huang Yu seemed to have thought of something. At that time, he said in a deep voice, "I always carry only one Flowing Shadow Pigeon with me. That day was also the same."
"Oh." Xu Han nodded his head in understanding, but this word was intentionally dragging on the end of the sentence. "Then this is strange."
As he spoke, he glanced at Chu Chouli behind him. The other party quickly understood and nodded his head. Then, the middle-aged man walked up to the stage with an arrogant expression and took out something wrapped in grey cloth from his bosom.
He opened the cloth and saw a rotten and rotten corpse of a Flowing Shadow Pigeon appear in the grey cloth. At the ankle of the corpse, there was still a piece of unopened letter paper.
At that time, Xu Han looked at Luo Mo with a gloomy expression and smiled, "Then who owns this Flowing Shadow Pigeon that was unfortunately taken down by my Big Brother Chu?"
