Chapter 417 Alone

The Horizontal Imperial City in February had gradually warmed up. When Xu Han opened his eyes in the door, the first ray of sunlight in spring entered Xu Han's eyes through the window. Xu Han subconsciously reached out to block the light. He felt that it was a bit dazzling.

It had been a long time since he had seen such sunshine.

Ever since the Dragon Gate Gathering, Yan Zhan had felt that the swordsman was more stable than him. He had spent a large sum of money to buy a mansion in Horizontal Imperial City. First, it was convenient for everyone to do things, and secondly, it was good for Master Wei to cultivate his body.

Therefore, the rich man waved his hand and bought this house, which was flawless in terms of decoration, location, and style.

In this courtyard, Yan Zhan had reserved a small courtyard for everyone, so Xu Han was no exception

After arriving at Great Xia, several deathly battles made Xu Han realize that he was missing something.

In terms of cultivation techniques, he had the unparalleled Grand Derivation Sword Technique that even immortals were envious of. In terms of cultivation, he had 365 acupoints, nine True Essences in his body contiguous, his pylorus wide open, and his sword intent surging like the sea. Even cultivators in the Realm of Flame Dust were unable to compare to Xu Han.

However, Xu Han still had his own shortcomings.

Killing moves or trump cards.

However, he lacked such a thing, and he lacked a True Spirit that belonged to him.

Although both the sealed Asura and the demonic beast were Xu Han's True Spirit and possessed tremendous power, the reason why they had condensed such a True Spirit was to refine the two powers that surged in his body at that time. In the end, it was an expedient measure at that time.

What Xu Han needed was a True Spirit that belonged to him, and he also needed a set of strategies that belonged to him to deal with his enemies.

Therefore, ever since he arrived here, Xu Han had kept the door closed. He stayed in his own small courtyard all day long and instructed others not to disturb him. He needed a relatively quiet environment to condense his True Spirit, or to comprehend a set of methods that could be used against his enemies.

In the past month, he had tried his best to accomplish this. Although he thought hard every day, it had little effect.

He also knew that this matter was something that could not be rushed, so he simply put away the sword intent that lingered around his body and walked out of his courtyard for the first time in a month.

…

"Xiao Han, are you out of seclusion?" Chu Chouli, who was pulling Ning Zhumang into the courtyard, was the first to see Xu Han leave. The middle-aged man quickly walked over and pulled Xu Hanyan with a smile on his face. "Come, you came at the right time. Have some breakfast."

Xu Han could tell that the middle-aged man's concern for him was not fake. He nodded and was about to say something.

"Big Brother Chu, Big Brother Ning, you guys come and taste the pastries I made" A voice sounded. A graceful woman walked over with a steamer that was still steaming hot. She placed the steamer on the table and turned her head to look at this place.

At that time, her gaze met Xu Han's in midair.

The woman's body trembled as if she had been heavily injured, but Xu Han's brows furrowed as if he was extremely unhappy.

Xu Han stared at the woman for a long time before saying, "Why are you still here?"

When the woman heard this, her expression was rather embarrassed. She stood there awkwardly, not knowing how to respond to Xu Han, so she could only choose to remain silent.

However, Xu Han's attitude did not improve at all because of the woman's embarrassment.

At that moment, his brows furrowed even deeper, and the voice he spat out grew louder. "Let me ask you, why are you still here?"

"I… I…" Perhaps she really didn't know how to explain it, or perhaps she was just shocked by Xu Han's bad attitude. The woman stammered for a while, but in the end, she couldn't say anything.

The murderous aura between Xu Han's eyebrows grew heavier and heavier.

Chu Chouli, who was standing at the side, also seemed to have smelled the gradually becoming strange and solemn atmosphere on the field. He quickly laughed and said, "What's wrong? Xiao Han, Miss Zhen has been cooking delicious food for you all these days. She is responsible for your daily meals. She and Brother Hu are also taking care of Master Wei. What are you doing?"

"Wow, it smells good! What are you going to eat today?" Right at this moment, Yan Zhan's voice suddenly came from not far away. He led Xue Ning into the room with a smile on his face. As if he hadn't noticed the strange atmosphere in the room, he went straight to the steamer that was emitting a steaming heat and fragrance and said excitedly.

As he spoke, he took out a piece of cake from the steamer and handed it to Xue Ning beside him. However, this was the first time he seemed to notice Xu Han coming out of seclusion. He immediately said with a smile, "Brother Xu, are you out of seclusion?"

"Come, let's try Miss Zhen's pastries."

Xu Han looked at the pastry handed over and then looked at Zhen Yue, who had a nervous expression on his face. At that time, he put away his troubled thoughts and took the pastry and sat down to eat.

Seeing this, Yan Zhan immediately smiled in satisfaction and called for everyone to eat.

Although he and Chu Qiuli had tried their best to stimulate the atmosphere throughout the entire process, Xu Han and Zhen Yue remained silent.

…

Until he finished his breakfast, Xu Han ignored everyone's request to leave the room alone and went straight to Master Wei 's courtyard.

Master Wei's complexion was much better. When Xu Han arrived, the old man was leisurely sitting alone in the door drinking tea. He was not surprised at all by Xu Han's arrival.

"Why did you get anything this month?" Seeing Xu Han, the old man asked with a smile.

Xu Han shook his head and replied truthfully, "I have no clue."

"You have had many opportunities along the way, but you have also learned quite a lot. If you want to condense a True Spirit that suits your heart and comprehend a set of techniques that conform to your cultivation, you must remember that you are the Master and they are your servants. No matter how lucky you may be one day, you can always remember these words in your heart. "As outsiders say, whether it's evil ways or mighty righteousness, as long as you can drive it, doing good and doing evil, it won't be enough for you to do it in a single thought."

Xu Han felt that the old man's words seemed to be true, but it was difficult to understand the mysteries behind them.

He simply nodded and remembered the old man's words.

"Actually, I have another question for you when I come to see Mr. Xu." Xu Han said seriously.

However, the old man, who had always known nothing about Xu Han, did not wait for Xu Han to say anything and interrupted him. At that time, the old man waved his hand and pointed at his chest.

"Remember, no one can always give you an answer according to your own will. As long as you feel that it is right, then go ahead and do it." The old man said leisurely. After saying that, he slowly closed his eyes, as if he was enjoying the pleasant spring scenery in the morning.

Seeing that it was useless to say more, Xu Han cupped his hands towards the old man and left the courtyard.

…

"Xiao Han, listen to me. I think Miss Zhen is really good. Look…"

As night fell, the streets of Crossing Imperial City were filled with people.

Chu Chouli anxiously whispered in Xu Han's ears.

And what about Xu Han?

He took two golden roasted meats from the barbecue stall owner and tossed them into Xuan'er and Aowu's mouth, who were thirsty for food. As for the big fellow's nagging, Xu Han had long since gained immunity. He naturally walked forward without listening and enjoyed this rare leisure.

Master Wei is right. He seems to have fallen into a misunderstanding.

There was too much power in his body, the powerful physical body brought about by the Asura Art, the boundless sword intent cultivated by the Great Evolution Sword Art, the demonic energy in his right arm, the starlight left behind by the surveillance, and the terrifying power that came from the temporarily sealed Heavenly Punishment Sword. Xu Han always thought that he would be able to combine these techniques together and cultivate a True Spirit, or perhaps he would be able to comprehend a technique.

However, in reality, all of these powers were extremely powerful. It was impossible for them to completely merge into one. Rather than doing so, it was better to use some method to separate them, but at the same time, they could also display their full might.

Of course, this was only a preliminary idea. Xu Han had some clues, but he might not be able to fully implement them. Therefore, he might be able to sort out the thoughts in his heart after walking out.

'"Little Han, look at us now. We can't go back to Great Zhou. But that girl Qing has become the emperor and that girl Hong Jian has become the head of the Tian Ce Mansion . I'm not talking about anything else, but we still need to be a good match for each other. Otherwise, one day, you'll be together with them. One emperor and one manor head. You can't suppress it!"

"It's good that you look at Miss Zhen Yue. If you want to have buttocks, chests, and obedience, it's good for you too."

Along the way, not only did Chu Chouli's incessant chatter not have any intention of stopping, on the contrary, he felt that it was getting even more intense.

Even Xu Han was tortured to the point that his brain hurt. He simply stopped and turned to look at the middle-aged man beside him.

"What's wrong?" The middle-aged man was stunned, not knowing why, but he was inexplicably guilty.

"Didn't I tell you to send them away before I went into seclusion?" Xu Han asked.

"I'm still concerned about your life!" Chu Chouli replied with a wronged expression.

Hearing this, Xu Han immediately smiled bitterly and shook his head. Sometimes, he really didn't understand whether Chu Chouli was really foolish or fake.

He simply said, "Big Brother Chu, you should know that following us is not a good thing for her. We still have a lot of trouble."

Hearing this, Chu Chouli was stunned. Then, just as Xu Han thought that the big man understood his meaning, the middle-aged man blinked his eyes and said with a mocking expression, "So you like her? So you don't want her to follow you?"

Hearing this, Xu Han felt helpless.

He knew that this fellow in front of him was determined to make fun of him, so he could only shake his head and say, "Forget it, I'll explain this to her myself."

After saying that, he no longer had the mood to continue with Chu Chouli. He turned around and led Xuan'er and Aowu towards the street corner.

This time, the middle-aged man did not catch up with Xu Han at the first possible moment.

He just stared blankly at the youth who had left. At that time, the streets of Heng Imperial City were still packed with people. However, the youth who was walking inside was alone. He walked in the middle of the streets, but he did not fit in with the crowd.

The middle-aged man's expression finally fell silent. He said in a voice that only he could hear clearly, "I just don't want you to be too lonely on this road."
