Chapter 385 Secret

Xu Han couldn't understand why Mr. Wei, who had just acted as if he didn't care about anything and didn't respond, had appeared in front of him with such a disgraceful appearance.

However, this was clearly not the time to tangle with these things. He was slightly stunned. He hurriedly took a step forward and walked to Mr. Wei. He cupped his hands and said, "Sir, please hurry up and take action!"

As he spoke, he bowed to the old man once again.

However, just as he started, the old man stretched out his hand and once again pressed down on Xu Han's bowed body, "I said there's no need to bow, I'll do it." The old man grumbled angrily. He finally let out a long sigh, as if he was helpless.

Then, under Xu Han's surprised gaze, the old man quickly walked between Ning Zhumang and Ghost Subhuti.

The two of them, who were exerting their full strength to exert their internal strength towards each other, were both shocked by the old man's arrival. Ning Zhumang knew that Mr. Wei would not harm him, but he was shocked, but he did not have much fear.

Ghost Subhuti couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

She hadn't noticed that the old man was hiding under the bed. This meant that the other party's cultivation was not ordinary. At least, it was similar to her, or even stronger. At this moment, she was even more of an enemy than a friend.

"Who are you?" Gui Puti glanced sideways at the old man who was walking in front of him and asked coldly.

The old man chuckled and said, "It's better to resolve enemies than to form enemies. Don't be too murderous, girl …" He didn't seem to notice the displeasure in Ghost Subhuti's words at all.

"Female doll?" However, the old man's kindness did not receive the response that Ghost Subhuti deserved. Instead, it caused the baleful aura between the young girl's eyebrows to become even more serious.

Others might be puzzled, Xu Han knew very well that although his Second Martial Niang looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, based on her acquaintance with Mo Chen Zi, her actual age was still more than fifty years old. Not to mention being on equal footing with Mr. Wei, who looked to be in his early sixties or seventies, she should never be called a doll.

Ghost Subhuti was obedient and lovely in front of Mo Chen Zi, but after leaving Mo Chen Zi, her violent temper as a Ten Halls Yama was no longer bound and restricted by anything.

At that time, the aura around her surged, and the violet energy behind her surged towards her body like a tidal wave. At the same time, the light in her purple eyes surged, and the aura on her body climbed up again. A certain change was about to happen to her body.

At that moment, Mr. Wei narrowed his eyes and bent his fingers under his sleeve. Then, he flicked his sleeve, and three things suddenly flew out into the air, heading towards Gui Puti, Ning Zhumang, and Yan Zhan.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Three crisp sounds rang out almost at the same time.

At that time, the three things collided fiercely against the foreheads of the three of them, and it was only at this moment that the crowd at the side could clearly see that the three things were actually three copper coins.

When the three seemingly light copper wires landed on the foreheads of the three of them, the bodies of the three experts who possessed at least the Great Evolution Realm trembled, and the True Essence circulating around their bodies seemed to have been completely dispersed by some sort of irrevocable edict at that moment.

The three of them retreated one after another. Their expressions were solemn, and the astonishment in their eyes was even more unconcealed. At this moment, they were all staring blankly at their own hands. Obviously, they could not completely understand what had just happened.

Of course, they quickly reacted and turned to look at the person who had caused all of this, Mr. Wei, who was still smiling at them.

"The Heavenly Art of Devouring Demons is incomparably tyrannical. It is indeed not a righteous path. I believe that you have your own experience, so why impose right and wrong on others?" At that time, Mr. Wei spoke like this, but his gaze was on Gui Puti who was standing beside him.

Ghost Subhuti's expression became even uglier. She could clearly feel the strength of this old man. However, with a seemingly insignificant move, she managed to resolve the battle between the three Great Evolution Realm cultivators. With such strength, even if they weren't Immortals, they wouldn't be far off.

Although Ghost Subhuti's temper was violent, it wasn't to the point where he didn't know whether to die or not.

She glanced fiercely at Ning Zhumang and then turned to glance at Xu Han before saying, "Since Senior wants to protect his life, Ghost Subhuti will give Senior this face. Only next time … Hmph!"

After Gui Puti finished speaking, he paused for a moment and then said to Xu Hanyan, "Little fellow, I have sent him to you. Don't bring him with you the next time we meet."

Then, her body paused and she was about to flee outside the house.

"Wait!" Seeing that, Xu Han hurriedly stopped Ghost Subhuti, who was about to leave, and signaled for Ning Zhumang not to be impulsive. Then, he called Chu Chouli to the side to let the middle-aged man, who had almost been forgotten to the side, cut off the ropes on Zhen Yue and the others who were tied tightly, and handed them to everyone to settle down. Only then did he hurriedly catch up to Ghost Subhuti, who had left.

Ghost Subhuti did not stop because of Xu Han's shout, but his pace was obviously slower. He was obviously intentionally waiting for Xu Han.

Xu Han didn't want to expose this. He quietly followed behind Gui Puti and followed her out of the room to the main hall of the inn.

The owner and shopkeeper in the inn were scared out of their wits by the previous fight. Naturally, they did not dare to stop him and squatted in the corner of the hall trembling. Xu Han secretly smiled bitterly, but he still followed Gui Puti to the alley outside the inn.

There were several red-clothed judges, more than ten black-and-white impermanents, and hundreds of purple-robed Asuras lurking there. Seeing the arrival of Ghost Subhuti, they all revealed their figures and bowed respectfully to him.

This caused Xu Han to be shocked. If it wasn't for the fact that Gui Puti was his Second Martial Niang and that Mr. Wei was in charge, there would have been a real fight. With the formation outside the room, even if there were a few more Great Evolution Realm experts like Yan Zhanning and Zhumang, everyone would have ended up with a miserable end.

"Step down, it's none of your business." However, Ghost Subhuti didn't feel anything strange in Xu Han's heart at all. At that time, he casually waved his hand and the dense crowd of people beside him retreated in an instant, disappearing without a trace.

Although he couldn't sense their aura, Xu Han knew very well that the so-called retreat was only to hide in the dark. If someone really attacked Gui Puti, he would probably be eaten clean by the jackals hiding in the dark in the next moment.

"Little fellow, should I say that your life is bitter or better? Why is there an old fellow behind you wherever you go?" Ghost Subhuti, on the other hand, sized Xu Han up and down again at that time and said meaningfully.

Xu Han smiled bitterly and shook his head, "To be honest, I don't know the background of that Mr. Wei. It's just that it would be very helpful for me to meet someone along the way."

"Help?" Before Xu Han could finish his sentence, The purple-eyed girl was interrupted by Gui Puti. She leaned against the stone wall of the alley behind her. One foot landed on the ground and the other was lifted up. Her long hair fell down naturally, and she said with a calm expression, "There is no free lunch in this world, and there is no pie falling from the sky. Don't forget what your previous master, the Headmaster of Great Zhou, did to you."

These words undoubtedly pierced into Xu Han's pain.

His expression changed slightly, and he instantly fell silent, not knowing how to continue this topic.

"What? Even Mo Chen Zi and my Second Mother bear grudges?" Gui Puti raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Disciple doesn't dare. Martial Uncle died because of me. This kindness will never be forgotten by this disciple!" Xu Han hurriedly cupped his hands and said. His tone was sincere, so it was naturally not a lie.

For this reason, Gui Puti looked deeply at Xu Han for a long time, seemingly wanting to confirm whether he was playing tricks or sincerely speaking.

"That bastard, his mind is full of righteousness. If he doesn't die today, he will die tomorrow. He has such a temperament that no one can stop him" Mo Chen Zi's tone changed slightly. Although she tried her best to tease him, Xu Han could still hear the trembling in her tone clearly.

"Second Martial Niang" Xu Han felt guilty and wanted to say something to comfort her.

"Let's not talk about that bastard anymore." Ghost Subhuti interrupted her, and a faint smile returned to her face. However, this time, this smile landed in Xu Han's eyes, causing him to feel somewhat distressed.

"Tell me about you. When I left Great Zhou, I heard that there were quite a few people secretly searching for you. Where are you going next?"

"I want to check my background" Xu Hanyan said. However, the details of the Chang'an incident made him hesitate. He didn't know if he should tell the person in front of him all the details.

"Is that so?" Surprisingly, Ghost Subhuti nodded his head at that time. He didn't even have the intention of carefully examining the meaning behind Xu Han's words. "That's good. It's better not to stay in a place like Great Zhou."

Hearing this, Xu Han was slightly stunned.

In the current Great Zhou, Yuwen Nan Jing, known as the Eternal Emperor, had ascended to the throne. How could it be a place of right and wrong if the prosperity of the country and the people were to be restored?

Xu Han was puzzled, but he didn't want to delve deeper into this matter. At that time, he changed the topic and asked, "Second Martial Niang said just now, it seems that she has already put Ziyu into the sect."

Seeing Xu Han's hesitant expression, Ghost Subhuti, who had always liked to move but didn't like to be quiet, was enraged.

"Just say what you want to say. Squeezing around is even more annoying than that bastard!" She snorted coldly and said in a rather displeased tone.

Xu Han smiled bitterly. He quickly cupped his hands and revealed his worries.

'"Ziyu is naturally blessed to be valued by Master Niang. I just heard from Headmaster Ning that the so-called' Heavenly Art of Devouring Demons' doesn't seem to be suitable for her body. Does Master Niang …"

"Bah! How can a heartless person like him judge our Demon Devouring Heaven Suppressing Technique? Ziyu has our bloodline in his body, so he can cultivate this technique! That heartless person, I've been searching for him for so many years, but I don't want to be the head of the Linglong Pavilion. If it weren't for that old fool stopping me, I would have taken his dog life for my crescent sister now!" As Ghost Subhuti spoke, a murderous aura surged from his forehead.

From the conversation between Ghost Subhuti and Ning Zhumang, as well as what Ghost Subhuti had said, Xu Han roughly understood a bit.

Fang Ziyu's surname was Fang, and the imperial family of the previous dynasty was also surnamed Fang. In addition, this so-called "Heavenly Art of Devouring Demons" should be a secret technique cultivated by the imperial family of the previous dynasty. Coincidentally, Fang Ziyu was the successor of the bloodline of the imperial family of the previous dynasty.

However, how did this have anything to do with Ning Zhumang? Perhaps it was because of the girl they spoke of as Crescent Moon.

Xu Han could roughly guess that this should be a story of a decent disciple falling in love with the descendants of the orphans of the previous dynasty. It was difficult for both sides to gain the recognition of the forces behind each other, so they had no choice but to elope hand in hand in the end.

However, Xu Han did not know how the last girl named Crescent Moon died or how Ning Zhumang brought Fang Ziyu back to the door. However, judging from Gui Puti's expression, it was clear that he had a very good relationship with the woman named Crescent Moon. It was even possible that he was a close relative of his bloodline. Xu Han, who did not know what had happened, did not dare to speak rashly. He could only remain silent once more and ponder in his mind how to find out Ziyu's situation before he could feel at ease.

However, just as such a small thought arose, Ghost Subhuti saw through it. She rolled her eyes at Xu Han, and the killing intent that had covered her cheeks had finally dissipated a little.

"You can rest assured about Ziyu. The Demon Devouring Heavenly Technique is indeed harmful to the descendants of the royal family with thin bloodlines, but Ziyu's bloodline is far beyond her mother's crescent moon. She is my disciple and your senior brother Meng Liang's sweetheart. You can rest assured that I will not harm her. I will let her return once she completes her previous cultivation."

Hearing this, Xu Han finally calmed down.

He hurriedly cupped his hands towards Gui Puti again and said, "Thank you, Second Martial Mother."

…

Afterwards, the two of them talked a lot, most likely Gui Puti. Xu Han listened quietly.

For example, when Meng Liang went to the Sword Mausoleum to guard the tomb, Chen Xuanji turned a blind eye to Fang Ziyu…

For example, although she had already removed Xu Han from the Dark Asura Hall, Yuan Xiucheng, who had once brought Xu Han into the hall, was now on par with Gui Puti and had become one of the Ten Halls of Hell. She could not see through this person, so Xu Han had to be more vigilant against him.

For example, he asked Xu Han about the cultivation progress of the Asura Technique, and didn't forget to supervise it during that time. He also patiently explained to him many of the difficulties Xu Han had encountered in his cultivation.

Although Ghost Subhuti's attitude was rather vicious and his words were mostly frivolous, Xu Han could still sense that Ghost Subhuti was concerned about him. Of course, this concern clearly came from his love for Mo Chen Zi, but Xu Han still enjoyed it.

More than an hour passed after the conversation.

Ghost Subhuti yawned and waved his hand. "Well, it's getting late. I went back early. It's easy to get wrinkles when I sleep too late, especially when I'm a woman of my age."

This kind of words came from a girl who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, which made people feel somewhat ironic. However, Xu Han, who knew the other party's age, was unable to say anything about it. It was just that he couldn't help but feel that it was a little strange.

"Second Martial Niang …" However, he still called out to the other party before he left.

"Huh?" Gui Puti looked at Xu Han doubtfully.

"Disciple, there's one more thing." Xu Hanyan said.

"Also? What's the matter? Quickly tell me!" Gui Puti said impatiently, but his departing steps stopped in a cooperative manner.

Xu Han, who knew the other party's temperament, naturally did not care about this matter. At that time, he whispered, "About Ah Sheng…"

"Ah Sheng?" Gui Puti was stunned, as if he didn't react for a moment. Who exactly was the Ah Sheng that Xu Han was talking about?

However, her expression quickly changed. She looked at Xu Han with surprise, "Do you know him?"

"Yes." Xu Han nodded. He didn't hide anything. He told Liu Sheng what happened to him and Liu Sheng at the Shangyun City Gambling House in the Azure Province a few years ago and what happened to Liu Sheng in the Gu Forest that he had sacrificed his life to save him.

'"A few months ago, I met Ah Sheng in the antler plains again, but he doesn't seem to remember me at all. From his conversation with those Lunar Temple killers, it seems that he has become a half-demon. What exactly is that thing? What is Ah Sheng's current situation?"

Hearing this, Gui Puti lowered his head and remained silent for a long time before he said in a low voice, "You can't participate in Liu Sheng's affairs … I don't want you to get involved. Listen to me, everyone has their own destiny and is good to him."

Xu Han, who had long since realized that things were not simple, said, Hearing what Ghost Subhuti said, he was still a little surprised. He looked deeply at Gui Puti and said, "Disciple's life was saved by Ah Sheng. I can accept that Ah Sheng did whatever he wanted to do anywhere, but what disciple can't accept is that he doesn't even remember who he is. This is wrong, I won't allow him to live in such a lie!"

Xu Han's tone was firm, causing Gui Puti to pause and look up.

At that time, it was already late, and the sparse starlight shone on the youth's side.

The face that had been sliced through countless tribulations was inscribed with determination that was almost taken for granted.

She had seen this kind of appearance many times. On that dead man, she knew that she could not convince Xu Han, so she sighed deeply, "When Ziyu finished cultivating, I will let her bring you what you want."

…

After bidding farewell to Xu Han, the purple-eyed girl walked alone in Longzhou Town, which had long since fallen asleep.

In the empty alley, the moonlight leaned out from the bottom of the clouds and sprinkled down the light. The moonlight pulled the girl's body very long, very long…

She suddenly stopped and stretched out her right hand.

Her pure white arms were like the moonlight in the sky, beautiful and moving.

Then, her ring finger and index finger collided, and a crisp sound rippled out at the entrance of the alley.

Hundreds of figures appeared around her at that time. They knelt in front of the girl, bowed and bowed. It was as if taking a glance at the other party was arrogant to them…

The girl swept her purple pupils across the crowd and opened her bright red lips under the moonlight. "Did you all hear that?"

"Yes." The hundreds of voices said.

Such an answer was naturally within Ghost Subhuti's expectations. She pondered for a while before saying, "He is very important."

Those who knelt in front of her looked at each other, not knowing what this moody Yama meant, but they still said, "Yama, don't worry, we will swear to protect Judge Liu to the death."

"I'm talking about Xu Han. His life was bought by that bastard! His life is more important than anything else!" Ghost Subhuti said again, his tone becoming even more gloomy.

The people who came back to their senses hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Yama. We won't mention anything about today to anyone."

"Is that so?" When Gui Puti heard this, his red lips lit up with a faint smile. "So, do you understand what I mean?"

"Of course I understand! We can learn from the sun and moon in the center of Yama. We will not hesitate to go up the Saber Mountain and down the sea of flames …" The people who had angered Ghost Subhuti said repeatedly at that time.

However, Gui Puti shook his head, "Something's wrong…"

"I mean…"

"Only the dead can best keep this secret…"

After saying that, the expressions of the crowd suddenly froze, and they stayed at this moment forever.

Ghost Subhuti's petite body stepped forward, as if he had turned a blind eye to everyone.

In the next moment, a shallow bloody scar appeared on the necks of everyone, and then their heads fell off from their necks.

Blood gushed out, flickering hot and red under the moonlight, just like a young girl's cherry lips…
