Chapter 264 Lord Manor Head

In the Tian Ce Mansion, a youth sat cross-legged.

His eyes were tightly closed, as if an old monk was meditating.

However, two silhouettes, one purple and one red, silently appeared behind him. They were red like Asuras, grinning their teeth and wearing armor. The purple dragon-headed sparrow had a high head and a ghostly aura.

His entire body was filled with a dense yellow sword qi, and there was a faint image of a wandering dragon within it.

After a few breaths, the youth's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and all the strange phenomena around him disappeared at that moment. Everything around him returned to calm, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion, not happening.

"Sigh …" Then, the youth sighed deeply.

That day, the Heavenly Punishment Sword and the demon arm created a streak of blood essence and a streak of demon essence in his body.

At this critical moment, Xu Han had no choice but to take the risk and refine the four new leaves in his sword seed into sword essence. Even the three elements of heaven, earth, and people in his body could snatch control of his body from this blood essence demon essence.

Although he had never heard of such a thing before, Xu Han had truly accomplished it. With this, he successfully suppressed the demon essence and blood essence in his body. However, nearly half of the sword intent in his body had already been converted by the Blood Demon Duality. However, Xu Han did not have the ability to reverse Yin and Yang. Helplessly, he tried to convert these two powers into True Spirit. Perhaps it was because Xue Yuan and Yao Yuan had already brought along a trace of intelligence from Xing Tian Sword and Yao Arm, and when they realized that they were unable to snatch Xu Han's body, they were actually able to easily condense into a True Spirit under Xu Han's urging in order to survive.

Of course, this so-called True Spirit was only an embryonic form, but the power it displayed was obvious to everyone.

Even if a Heavenly Hunt Realm expert was under this True Spirit, it would still be difficult for them to have a united enemy.

This encounter was not an exaggeration, but it had brought Xu Han great benefits. His strength had almost taken a qualitative leap. In the past, he had to spend a bit of effort fighting against experts of the Netherpassage Realm, but now, ordinary Heavenly Hunt Realm could hardly have a match for him.

Logically speaking, Xu Han, who had obtained such benefits, should have reason to be happy.

But in fact?

A blessing in disguise is not a blessing in disguise.

Xu Han was unable to escape from this principle of interdependence between misfortune and fortune.

Although the True Spirit formed from Demon Yuan and Blood Yuan gave Xu Han powerful strength, at the same time, Xu Han could feel that his demon arm was no longer as quiet as before. There were faint signs of awakening, and the same was true for the Heaven Punishing Sword. Moreover, because this duality had been refined by Xu Han into his own True Spirit, Xu Han was connected to their Qi and Qi, so he could no longer cut off contact with them.

Xu Han could not imagine what kind of impact this would have on Xu Han in the long run, but he was slightly uneasy.

…

Thinking of this, Xu Han couldn't help but sigh. He walked out of the room and discovered that the sky was already dark.

Before he could sigh, the people outside the room who had been waiting respectfully for a long time surrounded him.

"Manor Head, Gu Fan, the grandson of Gu Changyue, has been killed in the Hongyan Pavilion."

"Manor Head, Zhao Xingzheng's fourth son, Zhao Rushen, died in the suburbs of Chang'an."

"The land of the Gu Clan in the west of the city has been seized and 80,000 stones of grain has been collected."

"The Zhao Clan's horse farm in the north of the city has been seized and more than 700 warhorses have been seized."

…

Xu Han listened to the reports of the Tian Ce Mansion 's actions in the past two days. He looked at the exhausted expressions on the faces of the Tian Ce Mansion Army, but his eyes flashed with a burning light.

This was the first time he truly felt the weight on his shoulders.

At that moment, he nodded and signaled for everyone to stand up. Only then did he sincerely say, "Thank you, everyone."

On that day, after burying the thirty-seven dead Tian Ce Mansion Army soldiers, Xu Han began to plan his revenge on the Gu and Zhao families and the Zhao Clan.

The first was naturally to continue seizing the assets of the two families. The second was to find an opportunity to uproot the direct descendants of the Gu and Zhao families one by one. Of course, most of these so-called direct descendants did not have much real power. After all, there would be some guards around the true backbone of the Gu and Zhao families 's great cause. Xu Han did not intend to touch these tough bones so quickly. He wanted to give the other party a deterrent and tell them that the Tian Ce Mansion was definitely not a bully who feared the weak and feared the strong.

Years of wandering had taught Xu Han a lesson. The richer one's family was in this world, the more arrogant one was, the more afraid they were of death.

As long as you put on the posture of risking your life, the other party will be more or less afraid.

After Xu Han stabilized his body, this third step was on the agenda.

"Subordinate's duty." Upon hearing Xu Han's words, the Tian Ce Mansion Army all knelt down once again.

The things they had done in the past few days were indeed dangerous, but these Tiance Prefecture troops were all from the old tribes of Tiance Prefecture back then. They had been slaughtered by a few Heavenly Hunt Realm experts and killed more than 30 of their comrades. Wasn't there a burst of anger in their hearts? Taking this opportunity to vent his emotions, he was quite happy.

"Everyone, go down and rest first. Tomorrow, we have bigger things to do." Xu Han smiled and said when he saw them like this.

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and saw a wisp of pleasant surprise in each other's eyes.

What could be bigger than what they had done these past few days? Everyone naturally couldn't understand for a moment, but since Xu Han had said this, his actions during this period of time were definitely not empty words. When they thought of this, everyone became somewhat impatient.

Xu Han comforted them a few times before he left one after another.

…

After everyone left, Xu Han discovered that behind them, a woman dressed in red was hugging Xuan'er and looking at him with a smile.

"Hongjian" Xu Han was stunned. Just as he was about to say something, the black cat in the girl's hand let out a cheer. It lightly jumped from the girl's embrace to his shoulder. It continuously rubbed Xu Han's neck with its head and let out a soft grunt.

Xu Han was tickled by him. He hurriedly reached out to stroke the black cat's head and comforted, "It's fine, Xuan'er."

"Xuan'er is no longer seriously injured. Her injuries are recovering very quickly, but Qing told me that she did almost nothing, so Xuan'er's body healed by herself." At that time, the red-clothed girl slowly walked to Xu Han and reached out to stroke Xuan'er.

Hearing this, Xu Han was stunned again. He looked at the black cat on his shoulder in surprise. His gaze landed on the spot where he had been injured by the sword that day. The wound there couldn't help but disappear, and black hair had also grown out. He couldn't tell that he had suffered serious injuries.

Xu Han thought of Xuan'er's enormous appearance that day, and his heart trembled slightly.

Although he was with Xuan'er day and night, he knew very little about this black cat.

Whether it was the spirit it had displayed before or the power it possessed that was different from its peers, Xu Han realized that it was not simple.

"Xuan'er, what exactly are you?" Xu Han couldn't help but ask at that time.

"Miao?" Hearing this, Xuan'er tilted her head in confusion and looked at Xu Han for a while, as if she did not understand what Xu Han meant. After a few breaths, the black cat no longer pondered Xu Han's question and rubbed its head against Xu Han's neck again.

Its amber eyes narrowed into crescent moons at that time, and its face was filled with a look of enjoyment, as if it liked to interact with Xu Han.

Xu Han was also slightly stunned, and then he smiled valiantly.

Does it really matter what Xuan'er is?

As long as he knew that Xuan'er was his friend, it was enough for his family. Whether it was a demon or just an ordinary cat, it didn't matter to Xu Han.

Thinking of this, Xu Han put away the doubts in his mind and turned to look at Ye Hongjian, "How are your injuries?"

"No problem." The girl smiled and shook her head, "You can recover after a few days of rest."

At this point, the girl paused as if she remembered something and said, "After all, not everyone has the ability to reach the heavens like your Xuan'er."

Xu Han was stunned. Knowing that she was referring to Xuan'er's identity, Xu Han shook his head with a bitter smile.

"I don't know much about Xuan'er either. This is the first time I know that it can transform into such a state."

Xu Han tried his best to look sincere enough, but Ye Hongjian looked at him with a smile. Under the girl's gaze, for some reason, Xu Han clearly knew that what he said was true, but he was inexplicably guilty.

"What about your sword? And why has your right arm been tied to a white cloth and refused to show off? That day, I felt a strong demonic aura from you." Ye Hongjian narrowed her eyes and asked. There was a faint smile on her face, but there was a cunning look like a fox hidden within the smile.

Hearing this, Xu Han's expression changed slightly.

He naturally understood the meaning behind Ye Hongjian's words. She was asking Xu Han to show her his cards. After all, it was definitely not a coincidence that Xu Han had displayed all sorts of abnormal behaviors that day.

The demonic energy in his right arm could devour the sword of a True Spirit, instantly breaking through the Three Elements Realm and condensing into a True Spirit. Everything was enough to shock others, but it happened to Xu Han without exception. It was really hard not to arouse the suspicions of others.

Xu Han hesitated for a long time before finally opening his mouth to say something.

"Forget it." But at that time, Ye Hongjian smiled faintly and turned around gently, pretending to leave.

Xu Han was stunned for a moment before he reacted. Ye Hongjian's previous inquiry was more like teasing him than probing him. Xu Han secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but look at the girl's back and ask, "Don't you want to know at all?"

"What do you know?" The girl turned her head when she heard this. She looked at Xu Han, her big dark eyes blinking, looking confused.

Seeing this, Xu Han burst into laughter.

At that time, the girl's voice sounded again.

"Don't you also need to know what Xuan'er is?"

"It's like you know that Xuan'er is always Xuan'er, and to me, I know that Xu Han will always be Xu Han. That's enough."

After saying that, the girl smiled.

His teeth were as white as jade, and his face was as red as clouds.

Xu Han was stunned when he saw this. When he regained his senses, the girl had already slowly walked far away, and her voice that sounded like an oriole's cry could be heard by his ears.

"Have a good rest. Aren't you going to do something big tomorrow?"

"My Lord Manor Master."
