C96 (1/2)
You have to understand that in the entire Divine Sword Villa, one Scarlet Emperor has reached the ninth stage.
One meteor went up to the eighth level.
Then, it was time for Shen Jian Nong to lose under the seventh stage.
The other four manor lords had not even reached the sixth stage.
But who were these people? The Scarlet Emperor's daughter and the shooting star could suppress their powers and ascend, but they could actually fly into the Immortal World very early. They were two rare talents that could only be seen once in ten thousand years.
Apart from the two of them, the other five Manor Lords were also at the peak of their strength, and none of them were weaker than Wu Mu.
”Experience!”
”He's simply a heaven defying person!” Yi Cang Song spoke with a strange tone, ”This sword technique, this style, I'm definitely not that good!”
”No wonder even the Sword Master said that this child is extraordinary!”
”However, the Sword Master also said that although this child is extraordinary, his temperament is slightly lacking!”
They all knew long ago that this General Xiang was an extremely freakish genius, but they still couldn't help but be shocked when they saw him in person.
When Immortal Sword Nong saw Xiang Han pass the third stage, although he had used up a lot of energy, he had indeed passed. This pavilion's name was named 'Sword Inquisition Tower' and was a barrier set up by the Sword Master. Anyone from the Divine Sword Villa would definitely have to pass through ten levels before they would be allowed to undergo the Celestial Tribulation.
This had always been the Sword Master's rule, and no one had a choice.
For example, the strongest person in the Divine Sword Villa, in their eyes, the Mortal World Sword Sovereign would be number one, and the second would be the big sister, the Scarlet Emperor. Even this Scarlet Emperor would not be able to pass the ninth floor, so it could be seen how difficult the tenth floor was.
They were all at the Large Success stage, but Xiang Han was only at the Soul Division stage!
When Xiang Han came out, he could see clearly that the various manor lords were much more enthusiastic than before.
”Fellow Daoist Xiang, this time you have come to the Immortal Sword Villa, I will let you go on a private trip to the Sword Inquisition Tower, but if you come again, then you won't be able to do it, because this place is considered to be one of the roots of my Divine Sword Villa, and other than members of my Divine Sword Villa, no one else is allowed to come here!” The Scarlet Emperor smiled and looked at Xiang Han, waiting for his reply.
Xiang Han laughed involuntarily, as expected, gains must be gained, and gains must be lost, it would naturally help his cultivation, but on the other hand, the Immortal Sword clan were all servants of the Sword Master, so he was unwilling to give up.
Thinking up to here, Xiang Han let out a long sigh, ”Equator friend, I'm afraid I can't follow your orders!”
The Scarlet Emperor said with a look of regret, ”If that's the case, then let's just leave it then. Fellow Daoist Xiang's friend is a bit difficult to deal with, but for him to owe you a favor, this transaction is worth it!”
Xiang Han was delighted!
He was not afraid of anything else, he was only afraid of the Divine Sword Villa threatening him.
Hearing the Scarlet Emperor's words, Xiang Han's good impression of the Immortal Sword Villa increased, and he immediately said sincerely: ”This is indeed me owing your esteemed clan a favor, if there is a need in the future, I will definitely do so!”
The Scarlet Emperor girl laughed it off!
”Your friend's berserk state is caused by his killing intent. His killing intent is too strong, and I heard that there is an item called the Demon Suppressing Stone in the Sealing Snow Yuan Dynasty's treasury, located north of the Qin Nation! This stone is formed from the blood and bones of a scholar supporting the Yuan Dynasty. If you can obtain this stone, you will be able to suppress this murderous intent! ”
Xiang Han thought back to some of the rumors he had heard.
The Sealing Snow Yuan Dynasty was wider and more powerful than the Great Qin.
The Duke of Qin had also mentioned that if he wanted to rule the world in one fell swoop, his greatest enemy would be this Sealing Snow Yuan Dynasty!
Now that the Duke of Qin had annihilated the Chu Clan, he was going to destroy Shu in the future.
It was only because the three kingdoms rested their lives that they had the power to fight against the Sealing Snow Yuan Dynasty.
”The suppression of Confucianism!” Xiang Han was slightly disappointed.
Several manor lords had obviously seen Xiang Han's disappointment. Yi Cang Song couldn't help but ask, ”Brother Xiang, why is this?”
Xiang Han bluntly said, ”To be honest, I have already thought of this earlier. Moreover, I had my friend follow a doctor in the Qin Nation for a year, but the Confucianism did not suppress my friend's madness for long!”
The few of them were shocked when they heard this.
The reason why the Confucian Dao suppressed evil was to avoid demons. A doctor who used the righteous energy of heaven and earth to suppress them could actually not suppress the killing intent of a cultivator. What kind of killing intent was this?
”However, I still have to thank all of you. Perhaps the Demon Suppressing Stone that the monk has transformed into is very powerful!” Xiang Han laughed bitterly.
In fact, everyone was clear in their hearts that if even a living scholar could not suppress them, how could the teachers after death do so?
Xiang Han suddenly had a flash of inspiration as he thought in his heart: Something's not right! There was something wrong with that! The seven people of the manor obviously knew that I was a general of the Qin, so they naturally had some relationship with San Gong and the other Confucian Scholars. They wanted to suppress me using Confucianism, presumably because I hadn't entered the manor yet, but they actually didn't tell me the real method!
Thinking of this, Xiang Han's heart sank.
”There's no need to be disappointed, Brother Xiang. Maybe there's another way!” ”If the Daoist Path is unable to suppress it, then perhaps training in some extremely profound techniques of the heart will have some miraculous effects!”
Xiang Han immediately didn't want to stay in the villa any longer, so he said, ”If that's the case, then I'll find another way. This time, everyone, let's talk some other time. How about we meet again another day?”
The Scarlet Emperor said: ”Whatever, something will happen to my villa in the future, so there will be no need to keep fellow cultivator Xiang!”
Xiang Han nodded, bowing goodbye to the manor lords. Only then did he transform into a great roc and leave.
Only after Xiang Han left did the Scarlet Emperor's daughter let out a long sigh, ”What a pity, we can't use it for our Villa!”
Shen Jian Nong nodded his head and said, ”If he joins our villa, there's no harm in teaching him. However, if he insists on not joining, then we won't lose him!”
All the manor lords nodded their heads.
The Scarlet Emperor continued: ”Alright, since everyone is here, let's go to the Sword Saint Mountain. Master has summoned for an important event! The shooting stars have already gone, I will go as well! ”
Not long after Xiang Han left, he received a summons from the King of Qin. He then headed straight for the Fire Serpent River, where the Great Qin and the Shu Empire intersected.
Fire Serpent River. The river water was red. Rumor has it that it was dyed red by the blood of the soldiers from both countries, thus giving it a name.
”Junior apprentice-brother, your estate-treasure is rather boring. Can you release me?” Xiang Han had transformed into a great roc, but his spiritual consciousness was locked onto Han Xian'er. Upon hearing her words, he immediately stopped and landed on the ground.
Then, he released Han Xian'er from the magic treasure.
”Xian'Er, it's my fault for being inconsiderate. Your cultivation level is currently locked and unable to cultivate. If I take you in, it'll be like you're in jail!” Xiang Han said in shame, ”Since the summoning order is not limited to a day, how about we walk there?”
Han Xian'er tugged at the red dress in front of her chest, the heat was unbearable now that she had locked onto it with spiritual energy.
”Alright then!” Han Xian'er forced a smile.
At this moment, a horse carriage came from not too far away, and Xiang Han stepped aside.
The carriage came to a halt as it passed by the two of them.
A young boy stuck his head out. This young man was pure and bright, his childish aura had yet to leave his body, and he was wearing luxurious clothes. It was obvious that he was born into a rich family.
”My two uncles, there's no store in the village in front of this place, so why are you here?” A young man's voice rang out.
Xiang Han smiled. He had been cultivating for too long, so he hadn't gone far in the mortal world. Now that he heard the young man's words, it felt like he was back in the Nanyan Town of a long time ago.
”My wife and I originally came here on horseback. I don't know why, but the horse was frightened, so we had to walk!” Xiang Han said casually.
Han Xian'er's pretty face turned red when she smelled her wife's name.
The young man then realized something, ”If that's the case, why don't you follow us? If you walk like this, you will probably have to walk for a few months before reaching Su Mu City!”
Xiang Han and Han Xian`er looked at each other and smiled before nodding, ”Then I'll have to trouble you!”
Just at this moment, another beautiful woman walked out of the carriage. She frowned and said, ”Second master, we are tired. It would be a bit inappropriate to pull two people.”
However, the youth said, ”Aunt, it's alright. Father has taught us since we were young that it's convenient for us to go out with others!”
The beautiful woman couldn't control the youth, so she could only give up.
