Chapter 22 Long Night Division
Just what kind of person was Canghai Liuliu? In less than a month's time, Xu Han was unable to see him clearly.
However, there was at least one thing that was certain. The Vastsea Stream was definitely not the kind of person that was rumored to be a great traitor and evil person in Jianghu.
Xu Han's attitude towards Canghai Liu's sudden change was already doubtful, but Canghai Liu's resolute attitude was naturally not something he could change.
However, just now, he suddenly understood something.
If Canghai Liu really wanted to leave them behind, with his feet, Xu Han and the black cat would not be able to catch up no matter what. However, they managed to catch up, and they even staged a scene in which Canghai Liuliu pulled out his sword and faced him.
Previously, Xu Han had been taken aback by the killing intent surging out from Canghai Liu's body, so he had no time to think about it.
But at this moment, he calmed down and carefully examined it, only to discover that something was wrong.
Since Canghai Liu was determined to drive them away, he only needed to use all his strength to rush forward, so why bother letting them catch up?
The only explanation for this was that Canghai Liuliu was injured. He was so seriously injured that he couldn't even shake them off.
The Dark Asura Hall would definitely know about this news, otherwise, they would never have dared to send an Asura to attack Xu Han. Since Senluo Palace knew that as long as they were willing to spend money, it meant that the entire Great Zhou Jianghu should know.
In the Great Zhou Empire, there were more than a million people who wanted to kill Canghai Liuliu?
Then, one could imagine the fate of the Vast Ocean Stream.
He was so anxious to chase Xu Han and the black cat away, largely because he didn't want to implicate them.
Xu Han thought carefully about Canghai Liu's expression today. It was very likely that those enemies had already set their sights on Canghai Liu!
It was precisely because of this that Xu Han stood up impatiently and led the black cat, who was still somewhat confused, to chase after Canghai Liuliu once again.
…
Fortunately, although the Vastsea Current had already walked for several hours, Long Ji City's terrain was dangerous, surrounded by mountains. There was only one way for the Vastsea Current to leave, so Xu Han did not chase in the wrong direction.
It was just that for someone like Canghai Liu to want to kill someone at what realm, one could imagine what Xu Han could do. Actually, he did not know in his heart what kind of realm he wanted to kill. However, Canghai Liuliu had saved his life several times. If Xu Han knew that Canghai Liuliu was in danger, but he didn't care, Xu Han wouldn't be able to do anything.
Therefore, he didn't think about these things. He just wanted to find the Vast Ocean Current as soon as possible and then act according to the situation.
With this thought in mind, Xu Han's footsteps quickened a little. The black cat also jumped onto Xu Han's shoulder and anxiously looked around. It had always been intelligent, but now, it realized that something was wrong. It was also very worried about the situation of the Vast Ocean Current.
Fortunately, Xu Han had made a breakthrough in his cultivation realm. In addition, the sword that weighed more than ten jun had been taken away by Canghai Liuliu. At this moment, Xu Han's body was as light as a swallow, and his speed was extremely fast.
He chased after them for less than two hours.
Xu Han suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood drifting from the forest not far away.
He was shocked, and his speed suddenly slowed down. The black cat on his shoulder also sensed it and quietly stood on Xu Han's shoulder without making a sound.
Following the direction where the smell of blood came from, Xu Han slowly walked towards the forest. He could vaguely see that there seemed to be a flash of fire in the forest. He was alert in his heart as he bent down and slowly crawled in the direction of the flickering flames like a wild beast.
"Vast ocean currents! Vast ocean currents! I didn't expect you to have this day."
When Xu Han arrived at a place ten zhang away from the flames, he completely stopped. He did not dare to advance any further. He could only observe the situation from afar in order to come up with a complete plan. At that moment, a mocking voice sounded.
Xu Han was shocked and hurriedly looked over.
There were dozens of corpses lying on the ground, blood flowing everywhere, almost converging into a stream. It was clear that there had been a fierce fight not long ago.
"Tell me, where exactly is that sword?" Xu Han could vaguely see a voice questioning something, but the trees in the forest blocked his line of sight, preventing him from seeing it too clearly. Xu Han gritted his teeth, climbed a distance and looked again.
However, the sight of him entering the destination shocked him.
A middle-aged man with a gloomy expression was pointing at an old man who was sitting paralyzed on the ground.
Behind him stood several figures dressed in armor.
Judging from the style of the armor, it didn't look like it was made by folk, but rather more like the troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
As for the old man who was sitting on the ground with a dispirited expression, it was undoubtedly Vast Ocean Current.
"People from the Imperial Court?" Xu Han was stunned, but he didn't expect that the Imperial Court's troops would arrive so quickly.
"Sword? What sword? This old man only has this sword on him. Lord Guan can take it if you like." Canghai Liu, who was covered in injuries, smiled as he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said this. Then, he handed over the red longsword in his hand.
The middle-aged man was stunned. He looked at the sword that Canghai Liu had handed over. It was different from ordinary treasured swords, but if it was the fierce sword that the entire Great Zhou's Jianghu was flocking to, it would probably be too far off.
Moreover, with such a vicious sword, how could Vastsea Current hand it over so easily?
Therefore, Canghai Liu's actions were more like teasing him in the eyes of the middle-aged man.
"Humph!" He let out a cold snort and kicked away the ten-jun heavy sword. His gaze towards Canghai Liu was already filled with killing intent. "I advise you not to refuse to accept your punishment! I came here in the name of the Emperor to retrieve the sword. If you continue to be so stubborn, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Your Majesty? Which Your Majesty? Why do people from the Imperial Court still travel in black armor?" Canghai Liu didn't care about the man's extremely vile attitude. He sneered, "I think he sealed that Zhu Xian from the Long Night Priest to wish the first one's life, right?"
He looked miserable, but the expression on his face was extremely relaxed, as if he didn't care about his current situation at all.
"Very well! Vastsea Current is indeed Vastsea Current. Someone, lock it up for me and bring it to Liang Zhou. Hand it over to His Majesty!" The middle-aged man was extremely annoyed by Canghai Liu's unyielding attitude, but he didn't dare to do anything to him. He shouted with a gloomy expression, and two soldiers walked out from behind him. They took out a pair of handcuffs that shone with a strange cold light and locked Canghai Liu's hands. Then, they escorted him towards the team.
"Liang Zhou? What a good place! But Lord Guan, you have to be careful. There are many people in the Great Zhou Empire who want my Canghai Liuliu's life. Don't forget that I haven't been delivered yet. I …" Canghai Liuliu didn't have the slightest bit of consciousness as a prisoner. At that time, he said happily.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He punched heavily into Canghai Liu's abdomen. Canghai Liu's face turned pale, and he immediately fainted.
Xu Han and the black cat, who were watching this scene from afar in the forest, subconsciously hid their faces and looked sideways. The old man was still unforgiving at this juncture.
…
When the group of people escorted Canghai Liuliu far away, Xu Han and Black Cat finally arrived at the position they were standing at.
Xu Han picked up the sword that was kicked flying by the middle-aged man and placed it on his back. He turned around and examined the fallen corpses.
Then, his expression instantly became serious.
Although he had been in Dark Asura Hall for the past four years, people who did such a thing naturally had to know a little about the imperial government, what they could provoke, and what they could not provoke. Those to please, those don't deal with.
These were all things that he had to learn by heart.
As for the Longevity Division, it did not belong to the first four. In the words of the instructor when he entered the Asura Grounds, the three words "Longevity Division" could be avoided, but could not be avoided, so he fled.
The intertwined and incomparably powerful Dark Asura Hall was still like this when facing the Longevity Division. Then, one could imagine what kind of existence this Longevity Division was.
Just now, the middle-aged man led by Xu Hanguan kicked the ten jun heavy sword several zhang away with a light kick. In that case, his cultivation level would not be lower than the Three Yuan Realm, at least one level higher than the Arhat Realm . Adding on the ten soldiers behind him, Xu Han did not feel that he had a chance of winning. This was also the reason why he had watched helplessly as the group of people brought Canghai Liuliu along, but had never made a move.
This was because if he attacked at that time, not only would he not be able to save Canghai Liuliu, he would even risk his own life.
Xu Han was not that reckless.
Since the man said that he wanted to escort Canghai Liuliu into Liangzhou Mian Sheng, he thought that Canghai Liuliu would not have any life-threatening consequences in the short term. Xu Han still had enough time to think carefully about how he should be rescued.
Thinking of this, he placed the black cat on his shoulder once again and followed the group of soldiers who were escorting the ocean currents into the night.
