Chapter 396 Face Of Ancestors

Heng Imperial City was very close.

A journey of four to five days was nothing to the crowd. Master Wei continued to set up a daily stall to earn that not-so-generous reward. Chu Chouli was still relying on Yan Zhan to eat and drink nonsense every day. Their plan to intoxicate Ning Zhumang was still going on, but every time they failed, and the original intention of this matter was no longer important. What was important was that they had to defend their dignity as men on the wine table.

As for Aowu and Xuan'er, the two little fellows didn't have any worries of one kind or another. They ate and slept every day, ate and sneaked out when they were free. Xu Han knew Aowu's abilities, so he didn't care much about it. Recently, Zhen Yue had also stopped for a while and obediently followed everyone on their way. The reason why her four Diamonds were so close to Chu Chouli and the others was because they had drunk wine before.

Compared to everyone else, Xu Han had something on his mind.

The thing in his body woke up again…

He knew very well that it was the cold and gloomy aura that had almost devoured him in Chang'an City. He didn't know if this awakening meant that the thing was no longer satisfied with lurking in his body, but wanted to break out of the cocoon. For this reason, Xu Han really wanted to talk to Master Wei. After all, the only person who could help Xu Han now was this old man.

However, strangely enough, Master Wei had deliberately avoided Xu Han since that day. Every time Xu Han mentioned this matter, the old man would always talk about him around. Xu Han could not do anything about it, so he could only give up in the end.

Four days passed in a flash. On this day, everyone set off again. If nothing else happened, they would arrive at the end of the journey, Heng Imperial City, by nightfall according to the plan.

Everyone was excited.

Although it was only the beginning of January, and there was still a long time before the Swordsman Convention started in March, there were many Jianghu Rangers rushing to Horizontal Imperial City on the official roads.

Compared to those elegant chivalrous warriors dressed in brocade clothes with swords on their waists, Xu Han and the others weren't surprised by their attire. However, Xuan'er, who was sleeping on Aowu's head, attracted a few gazes along the way. However, it was only a slight glimpse and was not taken seriously.

By noon, the magnificent city in the distance had already begun to show signs in front of everyone.

Because it was all due to the horse path, his feet were not moving faster than he had imagined. He estimated that everyone would arrive at Heng Imperial City in an hour or two before nightfall.

There was plenty of time, and it just so happened that it was snowing. Everyone sat down on the roadside tea stall to rest. For this reason, they also ordered a sumptuous refreshment. Of course, this money was paid by Yan Zhan, the wealthy man.

This middle-aged man seemed to have endless money in his arms. These days, Chu Chouli had been eating and drinking along with him. Yan Zhan had never frowned. He was happy that Chu Chouli had spoken frankly. Yan Zhan was the best friend he had ever made in his life.

…

The tea stalls on the roadside were very crude, It was only a few bamboo poles supporting the curtain cloth, but business was booming. Most of them were dressed up by people from Jianghu. Apart from the upcoming Swordsman Conference, the most talkative content was the politics of Great Xia. What caused Xu Han and Ning Zhumang's expressions to change was the news that Great Xia seemed to be preparing to use force against Chen Zhouguo.

The two of them exchanged glances. Just as they were about to figure out the whole story, Xue Ning, who was sitting beside Yan Zhan, suddenly turned pale. This usually gentle and quiet girl suddenly stood up and said, "Hurry up and leave!"

Xu Han and the others were confused when they heard this. After seeing Xue Ning's abnormal state, Yan Zhan stood up first and said to the crowd, "Let's go!"

Such a move could no longer be described as sudden, and could even be considered somewhat inexplicable.

Everyone looked at Yan Zhan doubtfully, but Yan Zhan was anxious. He said to everyone again, "Let's go!"

Everyone was still puzzled, and after a dozen breaths of puzzlement, they were enlightened.

A group of people dressed in white clothes embroidered with blazing patterns rushed over from not far away and directly arrived outside the tea stall where everyone was drinking tea, surrounding the three floors of the stall.

Everyone, including Xu Han and the others, who were drinking tea in the tea stall were stunned at that moment. They all stood up and watched the group of white-clothed people that suddenly surged out with vigilance.

"The Crimson Firmament Sect is handling matters. Please evade us if we are idle!" At this moment, a hoarse voice sounded from behind the group of white-clothed men.

Crimson Firmament Sect.

One of the three sects of the Great Xia Sect, one of the twelve towns, had a high status. Even if Great Xia's country pillar encountered the ruling figures, it would definitely get three points. How could these ordinary Jianghu people who drank tea at the tea stall dare to provoke them?

After hearing the name of the Crimson Firmament Sect, everyone's expressions changed drastically. They all fled this place. Even the stall owner was afraid of causing a fire. He didn't even have time to argue about the tea money, so he hurriedly fled this place.

However, Xu Han and the others did not take any action. It was not that they did not want to, but that they understood that the disciples of the Crimson Firmament Sect were coming for them.

This was not a particularly difficult thing to understand, especially when he saw Lu Houde leading several men and women in their thirties and forties towards them with laughter. This conclusion was obvious.

Xu Han didn't have time to investigate how Xue Ning sensed this matter. He glanced sideways at Master Wei and saw that the old man was still quietly drinking tea. Xu Han felt a little relieved. At that time, he looked at Lu Houde and asked, "What's wrong? Does the grand Crimson Firmament Sect not keep its promise?"

Compared to Lu Houde, who had fought before, Xu Han was even more fearful of the pair of men and women who walked out with him. They were both thirty or forty years old, and their auras were condensed. Xu Han could not see their cultivation clearly, but he could probably guess that they were all experts of the Great Evolution Realm.

"Is the demonic outsider worthy of my word?" Lu Houde , who was over half a century old and had a horned beard, narrowed his eyes and sneered.

"Master, Master, Mother! This disciple and Big Brother Yan truly love each other. Besides, Big Brother Yan has already left the Demon Heaven Sect. Please let us go." At this moment, Xue Ning, who was standing at the side, seemed to be extremely afraid of the man and woman who had suddenly appeared. He quickly walked to the front of the crowd and said to the two of them.

Only then did Xu Han and the others realize that the man and woman who had followed Lu Houde were Xue Ning's master and mother.

"Humph! Wave hooves!" However, her pleas were not forgiven by her master and mother. At that moment, the middle-aged woman with a harsh expression let out a cold snort and mocked her sinisterly.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a cold-shining iron chain shot straight towards the woman's location like a venomous snake.

The woman's eyes narrowed. After sensing the power contained within the iron rope, she did not dare to increase it. She saw that her clothes were stirred up and a python covered in fire was able to gush out from her sleeve and directly hit the iron rope.

The two collided and created a wave of air. At that time, Yan Zhan's body quickly stepped forward and drove to Xue Ning's side. He waved his sleeve and shattered all the air waves in the sky.

"I, Yan Zhan, am not your Hu Man'er's turn to teach you a lesson!" Then, he looked at the middle-aged woman and said coldly. His body moved slightly without showing any traces, blocking Xue Ning's body behind him.

"Yan Zhan, you still want to use your tongue when you die. I want to see if you still have such leisure and elegance when I destroy your entire body's strength and send you and this little bitch into the Heaven Burning Furnace." The middle-aged woman was obviously not a good person. She spoke at that time, and the man beside her, Lu Houde, and even the hundred disciples they had brought with them all put on airs at that time.

This was the Vermillion Bird Five Flames Formation!

When he met Yan Zhan, Lu Houde and dozens of disciples had formed this formation, and the power of the formation was extremely terrifying. At this moment, the formation was several times larger. For a time, the surrounding flames surged, as if they were in an immortal furnace.

Yan Zhan clearly realized that the trouble this time had already exceeded everyone's endurance. He said with a heavy expression, "Everyone, I am truly fortunate to be able to accompany you, but the feast under the heavens has all ended. I will shoulder the burden of today's matter."

The meaning behind Yan Zhan's words was naturally obvious. He knew that he was unable to defeat them, so he wanted to shoulder this matter alone, so he didn't want to drag them down.

However, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted.

"Yan Zhan, what are you talking about? Is I, someone from Chu, that greedy person who fears death?" Chu Chouli hid behind Xu Han at that time and said with an indignant expression.

Seeing that he was helpless against Chu Chouli, who was still playing with treasures at this time, Xu Han shook his head and took out the sword on his back without hesitation. Ning Zhumang, who was standing beside him, drew his sword and stared coldly at Lu Houde and the others who had already formed a battle formation.

Seeing everyone like this, Yan Zhan's heart was moved, but it was precisely because of this that he was even more unwilling to implicate everyone.

So he opened his mouth to speak again, but this time, before he could say anything, he was interrupted again.

This time, he was interrupted by a hand.

A hand full of wrinkles.

It suddenly stretched out and lightly patted Yan Zhan's shoulder. Yan Zhan was stunned. Just as he was in a daze, Master Wei, who had been quietly drinking tea at the side, walked past him, carrying his wooden chest, which had never left his body before, and strode to his side.

"This is none of your business." The old man said this, but he looked up at the horizon.

However, Yan Zhan still knew that this was meant for him.

However, what he didn't understand was how this matter could have nothing to do with him. If it wasn't for him and Xue Ning, how could the Crimson Firmament Sect bite them to death?

"Come out." But at that time, Master Wei 's voice sounded again. This time, it was not for him.

It was facing the horizon, facing a distant place.

"After all, he is Wu Xiaohe's descendant. Doesn't hiding humiliate our ancestors? Don't let this old man laugh at you."
