Chapter 339 Suddenly, It Was the Same As Before

The sage once said that if a person lives in the world without foresight, there will be immediate worries.

Zhen Yue did not understand what the true meaning of this was, but according to her understanding, even if she was alive, she would always be accompanied by troubles.

She felt that these words made sense, so she remembered them.

For example, her current situation had become extremely difficult.

Ever since that little Mu Wang Mu Qingshan accepted Jizhou, Senluo didn't seem to be willing to face this little prince head-on, so he chose to gradually hide his power underground, and some necessary things began to hire some non-staff personnel to participate with a large sum of money. Zhen Yue and her four subordinates happened to be the lucky ones.

The lucky guy's words were quite appropriate here.

Although Zhen Yue had lived in Jianghu for many years, she knew very little about Dark Asura Palace before this. He only knew that it seemed to be an organization that had both killers and intelligence agencies. It was a fair-minded organization that had connections with the underworld and the white path. In addition, the price offered by the other party was not cheap. Therefore, Zhen Yue accepted this transaction and used it as a hidden line to contact various merchants in Great Zhou and entrust them with goods.

Senluo Palace was just like the rumors, very fair. As long as things were done properly, the amount of money that should be paid was not small. Zhen Yue and the others, who had been scratching their heads in the Great Zhou Kingdom for several years, were naturally very satisfied with their current life.

But it lasted until a few days ago.

Jianghu, to put it nicely, there are naturally stories of those youths wielding swords and riding white horses in the wind that Mr. Shuoshu told me.

But apart from this, Zhen Yue, who had been around for many years, also knew very well that the depths of Jianghu were more dirty and dirty than the imperial court. She did not care about the business of Dark Asura Palace, so how could she care about it?

However, a few years ago, an old couple who had helped him suddenly sent news that their young son had gone missing. The old woman was saddened and died without swallowing a single breath. Zhen Yue went back to mourn. After knowing what had happened, she was determined to help the old couple find their youngest son. Only after this investigation did she discover that Dark Asura Hall was not only engaged in the business of killers and intelligence.

Apart from these accidents, they also seemed to be doing a lot of buying off young children. Nine out of ten children stolen in Jizhou every year had a great connection with them.

Along the way, Zhen Yue brought Hu Ma and the others to lift the branch helm of the Dark Asura Palace in the border of Jizhou and brought back the stolen child. However, she also offended the Dark Asura Palace and was chased after all the way.

At this moment, they met the lord in the carriage. Not only did he disperse the Dark Asura Palace's wolf-like assassins, he also promised to let them take him away from Great Zhou to Great Xia. He could pay them a few generous entanglements, enough to let them start their lives in Great Xia with a new identity. However, the other party's request was very strange. He wanted them to find a caravan that had already been used as cover. Furthermore, it had to be a caravan that he had designated. Thus, there was the matter of crossing the antler plains with Boss Gan.

Now that the person had made a request not to detour, but the offer made by Zhen Yue could not be refused no matter what. She vaguely realized that something was wrong, but she, who clearly knew the Dark Asura Palace's abilities, chose to remain silent and accept this dangerous deal.

…

"What about you? What do you want?" After that person finished speaking, his gaze landed on Xu Han, who was standing beside him.

It was unknown if it was because the person in the carriage attached importance to Xu Han that surprised everyone, or if they wanted to know what kind of answer Xu Han would give. In short, everyone's gazes landed directly on Xu Han at that time.

The youth with a black cat on his shoulder lowered his head. He pondered for a long time before raising his head again and asking, "Are you from Dark Asura Hall?"

"Yes." The man did not hesitate much and quickly answered the youth's question.

However, when Zhen Yue and the others heard this, they were stunned again. They were originally being chased by the Dark Asura Palace, but the person who didn't want to help them escape from this pursuit was also a member of the Dark Asura Palace.

Xu Han was not surprised when he received this answer that he already knew, so he raised his head again and said, "I want a piece of news."

"What news?" The person in the carriage asked.

"Seven years ago, in Shangyun City, Azure Province, was a youth who entered the Gu Forest dead or alive?"

"You even know about the Gu Forest." The tone of the people in the carriage finally changed a little at that time, but he quickly suppressed this strange expression and asked again, "Name."

"Liu Sheng."

Xu Hanyan said. This question had always been in his mind. For example, the lives and deaths of the people in the Gu Forest were recorded in the Dark Asura Palace. Of course, a small portion of them escaped the surveillance of the person in charge because of the monsters that ran rampant in the Gu Forest, leaving behind an unknown record of life and death. However, in a sense, such a record was equivalent to death.

However, Xu Han was unwilling to accept this, especially after finding Liu Xiao and Liu Mo, the desire to understand Liu Sheng's life and death became even more intense. This person in front of him was clearly the best opportunity. Since he could avoid pursuing Zhen Yue and the others, it meant that his position in the Dark Asura Palace was definitely not low. Perhaps he had the ability to organize a thorough investigation of the Gu Forest.

However, what Xu Han hadn't expected was that after hearing the word Liu Sheng, the calm man's expression suddenly froze, as if he was rather shocked.

"What is your name." It wasn't until more than ten breaths later that the man asked again.

"Xu Han." Xu Han answered truthfully. Previously, Gui Puti had already erased all information about him from the Dark Asura Palace. At this moment, he was naturally not afraid to tell his identity truthfully.

"Xu Han" The man muttered this name. His hand hidden in the shadow of the carriage involuntarily stroked the dagger with the word "cold" engraved on its sleeve. After a long time, he said, "You will get the answer you want."

…

Great Zhou, the land of the Azure Province.

Within the dark and ghostly Gu Forest.

The Gu Forest had been cast a secret technique by a great power, so it was difficult for ordinary people to detect his existence. The demonic energy in the center of the Gu Forest was pervasive, and the corpse of a huge creature was lying within. His flesh and blood had long decayed, but the purple demonic energy was still flowing out from his bones. It was the nutrients of the Gu Forest, and it was also the source of the endless emergence of the demonic creatures in this Gu Forest.

Above the giant's head was the dense demonic aura surrounding it.

A little monk with red lips and white teeth was sitting cross-legged.

His brows furrowed tightly, and beads of sweat were constantly lying on his forehead, as if he was fighting against some invisible enemies.

A figure wrapped in darkness suddenly appeared beside the little monk. He silently looked at him for a long time, and there was not the slightest ripple in his cold eyes.

"You still can't do it." The black shadow sighed and said.

The little monk slowly opened his eyes. A dense pitch black color surged in his eyes. In the depths of the pitch black, there was a faint white light struggling desperately in the boundless darkness. It was like a warrior who had fallen into a state of death, resisting desperately and endlessly.

"Why?" The little monk looked at that person and asked. His face was a little confused, but the sweat on his forehead still hadn't faded away. Instead, it was a trend that was getting fiercer and fiercer.

"Someone has planted a good intention in your heart. You are not his match, or you do not wish to do so yourself." The black shadow said softly.

"But if I can't, Dingdang will die, right?" The little monk asked again.

"Yes." The black silhouette's tone was low, and it carried an indescribable vicissitude.

"But I don't want her to die." The little monk said again.

"Then let me help you." Said the black shadow, his eyes shrouded in the shadows suddenly glowing with scarlet blood.

"Help me? How?"

"Do you believe in Buddhism?" Black Shadow asked.

The little monk subconsciously wanted to nod his head, but when he thought of the cold eyes of the people in Liu Jia Village, he suddenly hesitated.

So he answered truthfully, "I don't know…"

"The old monk said that good rewards good and evil rewards evil, but I can't see good rewards, I can only see evil rewards…"

"The old monk also said that as long as you let go of the butcher's knife, you can become a Buddha on the spot. If the villain puts down the knife and becomes a Buddha, then what about those good people who died in his hands?"

The little monk muttered to himself like this. The more he spoke, the more puzzled his eyes became. He could not understand this principle, but this principle seemed to have been stabbed into his mind by life. If he couldn't get rid of it, he would feel a splitting headache every time he thought about it.

The black shadow looked at the little monk in front of him. A strange expression flashed in his cold eyes.

It was a gaze of contempt and pity, extremely complicated.

"Very simple."

"When there's one thing your faith can't do to make you better, then…"

As the black shadow spoke, he suddenly stretched out his hand and gently pressed it against the little monk's head. A dense black gas suddenly gushed out from his hand and poured into the little monk's body like a tide.

At that time, his voice also became deep, carrying a demonic aura. It was like the chanting of a ghost in the mountains at night. It was fascinating, but it also contained killing intent.

"Then," he said, "kill it."

After saying that, the black gas in his hand suddenly surged. The little monk's body trembled at that moment, and the aura around his body suddenly became strange.

The last strand of white light in his eyes stubbornly shone a few times under the rolling black gas, and finally returned to calm amidst his unwillingness.

At that moment, the little monk's eyes became pitch black, like a pair of empty black holes. Anything it looked at could not escape the fate of being devoured.

Thus, he let out a long and mournful howl, like an evil beast.

At that time, the dense demonic energy in the Gu Forest surged into his body from his eyes like a tide. At that moment, his aura became majestic, dignified, and arrogant.

The black shadow stared at everything, and the bloody light in his eyes became even brighter.

"Yes, that's right."

"This is what you look like…"

"Dongjun, you can't suppress him in the end!!!"
