Chapter 713 I Am the Evil of the World

A group of people hastily finished their lunch, and Xuan'er and Fei Lian hadn't returned yet. Everyone was bored and had nothing to do.

Liu Sheng and the others who had left suddenly returned.

When they saw Xu Han and the others who had been waiting on the Great Abyss Mountain for a long time, they were first shocked, and then their faces revealed expressions of joy. It was unknown when Xu Han had become the backbone of this group of people's hearts. With such a great battle imminent and Xu Han here, everyone present felt somewhat relieved.

"Ah Sheng, Brother Song, Senior Brother, Headmaster Ning." Xu Han saluted the visitors in unison. Then, he looked at the two old men who were also following behind them. This time, Xu Han's expression became much more solemn. He respectfully bowed to the two of them and said, "This junior greets Senior Yue and Senior Yan, two Sword Immortals."

Xu Han had long heard of these two Sword Immortals. When he had just betrayed the Dark Asura Palace, he had mentioned them to Canghai Liu when he was talking to him. People said that Yue Fuyao in Heavenly Battle City and the Li Mountain Sect were the two most outstanding sword cultivators in the world apart from the Southern Desolate Sword Mausoleum. The former Xu Han had some interactions with him in Chang'an, and Yue Fuyao had chosen to stand on Tiance Prefecture's side that year, forcing both Long Night Division and Xu Han to the brink of death. However, at that time, Xu Han relied on Yue Fuyao's son Yue Chengpeng's leniency to escape from Chang'an City. In this way, the grudge between the two of them could be considered to be completely erased.

As for Yan Qianqiu, this was the first time Xu Han had met him. However, whether it was the relationship between Master Wei and the Mount Li Sword Sect or the relationship between Meng Liang and Yan Qianqiu, Xu Han had a good impression of this old man. Now that he saw him, he was also a fairy, and his demeanor was quite heartbreaking.

"Brother Xu, having such a cultivation at such a young age is truly admirable to both of us. This senior is not worthy of the word." Yan Qianqiu, who was dressed in black, said with a smile.

Yue Fuyao, on the other hand, was much more indifferent. He only sized Xu Han up and down and did not say anything. Xu Han did not know if he was because of what had happened back then, or if his temperament was already like this. He didn't think too much about it. After all, no matter what happened back then, Yue Fuyao was willing to come here to help. It was a great fortune for Xu Han, so he naturally wouldn't be petty to the point where he couldn't care about the past.

After the group greeted each other, Meng Liang stepped out and looked at Xu Han seriously. He said with a deep gaze, "It's good that you're back, Xiao Han. How was your trip to Kunlun?"

Everyone present looked at Xu Han with concern when they asked this question. Everyone knew that Xu Han had gone to Kunlun to search for his own background. However, Xu Han did not say that they did not ask much. At this moment, Meng Liang's question was also a question that had been settled in everyone's hearts for a long time.

However, Xu Han smiled and said, "It went smoothly."

These words were full of perfunctoriness. They could not conceal anything from the crowd, nor could they conceal anything from Meng Liang. Meng Liang frowned. Seeing that Xu Han did not intend to say anything further, he hesitated for a moment before asking.

He only took a deep look at Xu Han at that time and said earnestly, "I hope you can remember that no matter what happens, we are all brothers. Everyone present is your friend."

Meng Liang's sudden sensation greatly exceeded Xu Han's expectations. He smiled and said, "Junior Brother knows."

Although Xu Han answered straightforwardly and had an extremely relaxed expression on his face, Meng Liang was still worried. He looked deeply at Xu Han, but in the end, he was unable to find any clues about his heart from his junior brother's face. He sighed slightly. This Xu Han, who was only in his early twenties, sometimes gave him an undetectable feeling.

Thinking of this, Meng Liang secretly sighed in his heart. However, he quickly sorted out his mood and swept his gaze over everyone present. He then said, "Since everyone who should have come is here, then let's tell everyone what we've seen in the past few days."

From Meng Liang's tone, it was clear that what he wanted to say was extremely important. Everyone put down their doubts and looked at Meng Liang.

Meng Liang's gaze darkened as he said, "We have sneaked into Tianshan Pass these past few days to gather information. The Great Zhou Empire is heavily dispatched. Almost all the remaining grain in the Great Zhou Empire has been dispatched to Tianshan Pass. It will be no faster than three days and no slower than five days. The army will definitely move out of Tianshan Pass and head towards Great Abyss Mountain."

Hearing this, although everyone had anticipated the upcoming battle, after hearing this news, everyone present couldn't help but fall silent at that time.

"At this moment, the defense of the Heavenly Mountain Pass is empty. We have the ability to burn a portion of that grain, but … Hmph!" Just as everyone was silent, Liu Sheng, who had never spoken, suddenly stepped out and walked to Xu Han. He said this, but in the end, he coldly snorted and looked at Meng Liang, who was beside him with great dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Xu Han realized that there seemed to be some unhappiness and conflict between Liu Sheng and Meng Liang because of some things.

He frowned. It seemed that Meng Liang had lost a good opportunity when he heard Liu Sheng's words. However, Xu Han also knew that both Meng Liang and the people accompanying him could be called heroes of the world. There must be a reason for missing such a good opportunity. Therefore, Xu Han did not accuse anyone. Instead, he turned to Meng Liang and asked, "Senior Brother, what is going on?"

Meng Liang smiled bitterly when he heard this. He looked at Xu Han and then at Liu Sheng, who had a calm expression on his face, before saying, "Brother Liu, I understand what you're feeling, but I've already said the truth."

"Tianshan guanzhong people are indeed thin, want to surprise burned hay naturally not difficult. However, if the Dark Asura Palace wanted to kill the Demon Monarch to obtain the blood essence they needed, they would definitely need to climb the summit of the Great Abyss Mountain. "As for how majestic the Great Abyss Mountain is, coupled with the pressure that the Demon Lord has accumulated after hibernating for tens of thousands of years, it is impossible for ordinary soldiers to reach the summit. Therefore, if Senluo Palace wants to take down the Demon Lord, they can only send those high-end Holy Sons and Marquis level combat strength. As a result, the so-called army is only at the bottom of the mountain."

Meng Liang slowly said a great deal, but everyone, including Xu Han, did not understand why.

Meng Liang seemed to have realized this as well. At that moment, a bitter smile appeared on his face. He said bitterly, "To be honest, I received a message from Chen Guo earlier. It has been snowing heavily for more than two months now. If this continues, the heavy snow will cause disaster and it will be difficult for many grain fields to plant green seedlings on time. This year, we can still rely on the grain in the national treasury to maintain it, but next year, there will inevitably be a famine. It's a pity that the grain will be destroyed."

The people present were not stupid people, Meng Liang's words to this extent, the people naturally understood what Meng Liang was planning, he wanted to seize a large amount of food in Heavenly Mountain Pass, in order to help Chen through the famine.

But at that time, Liu Sheng snorted coldly and said, "If we can't win this battle, how can there be another year?"

'"It's good to have a thought about everything. Besides, those Saint Son Saint Weapons or the ordinary army of the Dark Asura Palace are mostly bewitched by that sacred medicine. If we can win, they will not be unable to save us. It is not their life force that has been ruined, but the life force of the entire world." Meng Liang apparently did not intend to quarrel with Liu Sheng and only replied softly.

Liu Sheng's face darkened when he said that he didn't want to hit the smiling man, but it wasn't easy to get angry.

At this time, Xu Han also understood the reason for the quarrel between the two of them. However, as Meng Liang said, it was not important whether the grain was destroyed or not. He patted Liu Sheng on the shoulder and said, "Alright, Ah Sheng, let's do as senior brother says. Let's start preparing for the Great Abyss Mountain Battle."

Ever since Liu Sheng left Dark Asura Hall, although his temperament was somewhat strange, and he was extremely indifferent to most things, and sometimes could even be called cold-blooded, he had never refuted Xu Han's words. But today, for some reason, after Xu Han said those words of relief, Liu Sheng reached out and patted away Xu Han's hand. He said coldly, "Humph, being kind to the enemy is cruel to yourself. How can you have a chance of winning if you care so much about the future? Since those people are swallowed by the holy medicine, they will only die. Isn't it ridiculous to think of saving them?"

However, these words undoubtedly touched Ye Hongjian's pain. Her parents were bewitched by the holy medicine. Although they were cured by Xu Han, in the depths of her heart, Ye Hongjian still had some sympathy for those who were bewitched by the holy medicine. Hence, after hearing Liu Sheng's words, Ye Hongjian could not suppress the anger in her heart for a moment. At that time, she stepped forward and retorted, "According to what you said, you were controlled by the Dark Asura Palace back then, shouldn't you also be guilty of a thousand deaths?"

These words undoubtedly aroused the anger in Liu Sheng's heart. Liu Sheng looked at Ye Hongjian and his eyes instantly turned pitch black. At that moment, killing intent surged out of his body.

"What? Do you still want to make a move?" Meng Liang was also angry. He had clearly told Liu Sheng this truth several times on the way here, and the other party had also agreed to it. Why did he suddenly mention this matter at this time? Furthermore, he had a very unforgiving posture. Meng Liang was naturally unwilling to be outdone. He actually pulled out the sword in his hand and looked at Liu Sheng with a cold gaze.

Both sides refused to give way to each other and put on airs.

This situation was obviously unexpected. Su Mu'an saw that the situation was getting out of control and quickly shouted, "Big Sister Hongjian, hurry up and persuade them. Big Brother Liu Sheng was controlled by Dark Asura Palace and he couldn't help it. Moreover, he was in that situation just to save the Lord Manor Master. How could you speak like that?"

"What? You think I'm wrong?" Ye Hongjian looked coldly at Su Mu'an and asked in a cold voice. Her tone was not good, and she also regarded Su Mu'an as an enemy.

"Ai! I say, you old witch, Su Mu'an kindly advised you. How can you treat him like this?" Nineteen, who was standing at the side, seemed to not be able to look over and shouted loudly at that time.

"Aiyo, my little ancestor, let's not get involved in such a thing!" However, Zhou Yuan was extremely anxious when he saw this. He hurriedly pulled Nineteen and pleaded loudly.

"Hmph! Master is usually cowardly and fearful of things. He doesn't want to participate in anything." Unexpectedly, Zhou Yuan's persuasion allowed Nineteen to find an opportunity. She turned to look at her master discontentedly and muttered.

"Wet behind the ears." Seeing the quarrel, Ye Hongjian snorted coldly, her tone full of contempt.

On the other side, Meng Liang and Liu Sheng had almost raised their auras to the peak. Seeing that they were about to make a move, Ye Hongjian's eyes narrowed as she held a sword in her hand. Sword intent surged all over her body, as if she intended to participate in this matter.

"Why can't Xiao Nineteen talk about things as they are? What does this have to do with age? I see you sneakily following Young Master Xu all day long. That's what you call a chicken crowing and a dog robbing! You're disdainful!" However, there was already a fight over there, but just as Ye Hongjian was about to make a move, a voice filled with ridicule came from her ears.

Ye Hongjian was stunned. She turned around and saw that Qin Keqing was sneering at her. Ye Hongjian seemed to understand the other party's thoughts. She simply put aside her thoughts and turned to look at Qin Keqing. At that time, she retorted, "I am married to Xiao Han Ming. Why don't we do anything? That's our business. How can you, an outsider, interrupt?"

'"Hmph, we're going to marry each other? If Young Master Xu didn't have a hidden illness back then, how could he have mixed up with such an arrogant young lady like you? Young Master Xu has risked his life and death for me a few times. Don't you know who he's pretending to be?" Qin Keqing did not care about Ye Hongjian's words and continued to mock her.

"Who are you pretending to be? If you hadn't pretended to be pitiful and helpless all day long, do you think Xiao Han would have glanced at you? Did he really treat half of the steamed bun back then as a token of love?" Ye Hongjian did not show any weakness and continued to retort.

The more they talked, the angrier they became. In the end, they let go of their auras and wanted to fight each other.

For a moment, the flat roof was divided into three groups. One group was arguing about grain, the other group was accusing the other of being a disciple or a master, and the last group was for Xu Han.

The three sides kept talking nonchalantly, and the atmosphere became even more strange, and a fight had even begun.

Xu Han, who had originally intended to stop the situation, suddenly put away his thoughts after the situation gradually got out of control. He retreated to the side with a calm brow and watched these people quarrel with each other. His expression gradually became gloomy and cold. It was difficult for others to know what was on his mind at this moment.

At this moment, the only Guang Lingui who hadn't participated in this sudden quarrel stepped forward and walked to Xu Han's side. He looked at the people on the flat roof who were fighting or quarreling with each other and said with a calm expression, "There is a great evil hidden in human nature, and you can stimulate the evil in their bodies. What exactly are you?"

Xu Han turned to look at the monk in surprise and asked curiously, "Why are you able to avoid this matter?"

"I'm not a complete person. Some things have long been segregated. Since they don't exist, how can they be magnified?" The monk said this, but his gaze was still fixated on Xu Han, "Benefactor hasn't answered our question yet."

Xu Han also looked at the monk for a while, and then he suddenly reached out and shook his hand at the crowd. At this moment, streaks of black gas were drawn out from the crowd and poured into Xu Han's palm.

Regardless of whether it was the people who had just fought with each other, or the two sides who had fought with each other, they all stood there in a daze the moment the black gas was extracted. They couldn't understand why they could do such a thing with one glance at each other.

However, Xu Han did not care about the astonishment of the crowd. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the monk. A pitch-black light flashed in his eyes, and then he whispered.

"I… Is the evil of the world."
