Chapter 140 Changing Heavens

Xu Han sat in the small porch window and played with the token in his hand.

If he remembered correctly, this token should be the Tian Ce Mansion 's Manor Master's Token.

He had seen it in the Headmaster.

However, he was very puzzled as to why Yuan Xiucheng had such a token that could command three thousand red-robed officials and thirty thousand Tian Ce Mansion Army.

Xu Han kept in touch with Yuan Xiucheng during the years he had left Dark Asura Hall, exchanging information that was beneficial to each other from time to time.

Xu Han was greatly touched by the death of the Headmaster.

He had stayed with the Headmaster for half a year, so he could not say how he understood the owner of the Tian Ce Mansion.

However, he was very confident in the strength of the Headmaster. He was a person who could step into the Earthly Immortal Realm at any time as long as he wished. His death must have been deliberately caused by someone.

The Headmaster was his master, a righteous and experienced one.

He's dead.

Xu Han naturally couldn't sit idly by.

But to get revenge, one had to know who the enemy was. Thus, he released the raven a month ago and asked Yuan Xiucheng, who was in Dark Asura Hall, for this information. However, the other party had used the raven to send him this Tiance Prefecture's Manor Lord's Token.

Not to mention how valuable this Manor Lord Token was, just the information it had revealed to Xu Han was enough to make him think deeply.

With Yuan Xiucheng's status and cultivation in the Dark Asura Hall, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a fantasy to forcefully seize the Manor Lord Token from the Headmaster. The only explanation was that the Headmaster had given it to him by the Headmaster himself.

Thinking back to the four years of cooperation between him and Yuan Xiucheng, when Yuan Xiucheng's style was clearly out of place with the Dark Asura Palace, many things became clear.

Yuan Xiucheng was a member of the Tian Ce Mansion.

Such a conclusion was not difficult to speculate, and at this moment, he had already sent back the Manor Lord's Token to Xu Han, and was ready to showdown with him.

However, after arriving at this conclusion, an even more terrifying guess appeared in Xu Han's mind.

After he sold himself into the Dark Asura Hall, under the guidance of Yuan Xiucheng, he joined forces with him and was brought to Chongzhou all the way to participate in the assassination of Long Congyun.

Coincidentally, he was assigned to the operation to silence the disciples of the Xuanhe Peak, and even more coincidentally, Qin Keqing was amongst the Xuanhe Peak 's troops. With Yuan Xiucheng's understanding of Xu Han, he could not help but know that Xu Han was destined to be unable to attack Qin Keqing, so Xu Han's escape had become a foreseeable matter.

Afterwards, under the command of Yuan Xiucheng, he headed east and encountered the Vast Ocean Stream on his way to being hunted down.

In addition, after a series of events, the Headmaster accepted Xu Han as his disciple in an extremely simple manner, and Yuan Xiucheng happened to be a member of the Tian Ce Mansion.

All these coincidences connected together…

It seemed to have formed a huge spider web that enveloped Xu Han.

The Tian Ce Mansion…

It seemed to be an existence even more terrifying than Dark Asura Palace, but why was it him? Exactly where was he worth this series of calculations? Judging from the posture of Yuan Xiucheng sending this Prefecture Head Token back, there was a strong tendency to push him onto the Heavenly Policy Prefecture Head.

Xu Han could not understand, but he felt as if a huge boulder was pressing down on his heart, causing him to be unable to breathe.

"Brother Xu, what is this?" As Xu Han thought about this, a few breaths of sound suddenly came to mind.

Xu Han was stunned. He subconsciously put the Manor Lord Token back into his embrace. He turned around and looked at the sound, only to see Song Yueming arrive in the courtyard at an unknown time.

"It's just an item bestowed by the elders of the family." Xu Han casually perfunctorily suppressed the panic in his heart. He smiled and asked, "Today, Elder Sikong convened a mountain gate meeting. Brother Song did not attend. Why did you come to my place when you have time?"

"That's something that only direct disciples and elders and deacons can participate in. Why would an inner sect disciple like me join in the fun?" Song Yueming shook his head nonchalantly and then walked to Xu Han's side.

Hearing this, Xu Han finally reacted. Previously, Fang Ziyu, Ye Hongjian, and even Zhou Zhang had all gone to this Sect Meeting. Xu Han thought that every Linglong Pavilion disciple had to attend, but he didn't want to misunderstand.

"Then why did Brother Song come to find me?" Xu Han asked again.

"Brother Xu, what are you talking about? Can't I, someone from Song Dynasty, have a chat with Brother Xu? Why must I come here?" Song Yueming was a little unhappy.

However, Xu Han narrowed his eyes and looked at Song Yueming with a smile, not answering.

How could Song Yueming withstand Xu Han's gaze? He quickly lost.

"Brother Xu, who knows me, also." The youth scratched his head with a flushed face. "Actually, I came to find Brother Xu for last night's matter."

"What happened last night? You mean Elder Sikong's Heavenly Tribulation?" Xu Han asked.

"Yes." Song Yueming nodded. "I heard people say that Elder Sikong's dao heart was unstable yesterday because of our evacuation. He almost crossed the tribulation."

"There is such a saying?" Hearing this, Xu Han was stunned. This was the first time he had heard of this.

"Yes." Song Yueming nodded and continued, "I heard that Elder Ding Jingcheng and the others clashed with Sect Leader Ning yesterday for the sake of retreating or staying. In the end, it was Elder Zhong who stood on Sect Leader Ning's side that allowed us to retreat."

"Then does Brother Song feel that Sect Leader Ning's actions are inappropriate?" Xu Han asked with a smile on his face.

Song Yueming knew that although Xu Han was about the same age as him, his horizons and thoughts were much better than his. He was sincerely seeking advice and naturally had nothing to hide. "Elder Sikong took the risk to summon the Heavenly Tribulation for the sake of our Linglong Pavilion's thousand-year-old inheritance. It's fine if we can't help him. We still want to escape at this critical moment. To be honest, every time I thought of this last night, I felt very uneasy. I just feel ashamed of Elder Sikong, and also ashamed of the Book of Sages I've read."

"So Brother Song also ran away yesterday?"

"Run away." Song Yueming replied in a low voice. At that time, his head also lowered. It seemed that he really couldn't let go of this matter.

"Why are you running?" Xu Han asked again. The smile on his face was even more intense, but he felt that Song Yueming was as pedantic as those old pedants.

"Afraid of death." Song Yueming's voice was even lower, as if the thought of being afraid of death was a very embarrassing thing for him.

"Live well. Why do you want to die? Isn't it normal for people to be afraid of death?" Xu Han raised his eyebrows and asked again.

"This is different." Song Yueming didn't approve of Xu Han's words. He raised his head and said seriously, "There is a saying that life is what I want, and righteousness is what I want. You can't have both of them. You have to sacrifice your life for righteousness. This is what the sages said. How can you be wrong?"

"Then does Brother Song think he is an unjust person?" If it was someone else arguing with Xu Han about this matter, Xu Han would most likely jump up and smash that person's elm head into pieces. However, Song Yueming's temperament was already used to it, so Xu Han patiently said.

"In front of the righteousness of life and death, I am truly a little timid." Song Yueming's expression darkened at that time, and he was very annoyed.

"Brother Song feels timid, but I have a different opinion. Brother Song would like to hear it." Xu Han looked at the annoyed youth and smiled valiantly.

"Huh?" Song Yueming raised his head and looked at Xu Han doubtfully.

"The matter of Elder Sikong crossing the tribulation is already extremely dangerous. If he was careful, he shouldn't have attracted a heavenly tribulation on this Chongju Peak and put all the disciples in danger. This is one of them."

"Second, the thousand-year Dao Inheritance of the Linglong Pavilion is not based on an Earth Immortal, but on tens of thousands of disciples. In the end, the foundation of the Linglong Pavilion is the disciples of each generation. If he sacrificed the lives of tens of thousands of disciples for the sake of an Earth Immortal, it would be better to say that it was for the sake of protecting the so-called glory of the number one sect in the world than for the sake of preserving the Dao of the Exquisite Pavilion. "Brother Song has his own considerations as to which is more important."

"Third, Brother Song's words about life and death and righteousness. Then I dare to ask, if tens of thousands of disciples had stayed in Chongju Peak at that time, not to mention whether this would be helpful to Elder Sikong's tribulation, just one point. Just who is righteousness between this person's life and death and the Linglong Pavilion's inheritance?"

These three points of Xu Han's were so comprehensive that Song Yueming could not refute them.

"This… Brother Xu, you mean there's nothing wrong with what Sect Leader Ning did yesterday?" Song Yueming asked in a daze.

"Naturally." Xu Han nodded. "I think Elder Sikong Bai will only praise Sect Leader Ning after hearing about this. He won't be dissatisfied at all."

Xu Han replied confidently, but he secretly added in his heart, if Sikong Bai really did it for the sake of the Exquisite Pavilion…

After hearing Xu Han's words, Song Yueming's somewhat gloomy mood finally improved.

Boom!

But at this moment, a loud explosion erupted, and the door of the small porch window was kicked open by someone from the outside.

A man with a long sword on his waist led several figures into the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, Xu Han and Song Yueming, who were in such a strange state, immediately stood up.

Song Yueming asked, "Senior Brother Lang, what do you mean?"

This person was called Lang Chaosha. He was the disciple of Long Congyun who had been punished by Ning Zhumang to face the wall of the Grand Ocean Peak. He was also the third ranked personal disciple of the Chongju Peak.

"How can you interfere in the affairs of the Sword Hall?" Lang Chaosha clearly didn't come with good intentions. He raised his eyebrows and said coldly at that time. Then, he looked at Xu Han, who was standing beside him.

"Xu Gueqing, right? Elder Sikong, please come up with me, Xuanhe Peak."

"If Elder Sikong wants to see me, I naturally won't dare to refuse." Xu Han said with a calm expression, but his gaze turned to the door that Lang Chaosha had kicked to the side, and his voice suddenly became gloomy and cold. "But no matter what, I am still a guest appointed by Sect Leader Ning. Isn't Brother Lang too arrogant?"

"Sect Leader Ning? Haha."

But who would have thought that Lang Chaosha would sneer in exchange for the banner Ning Zhumang brought out by Xu Han?

"From today onwards, the Linglong Pavilion no longer has the term 'Headmaster Ning'."
