Chapter 539 Ink Dyeing

It was as vast as a shocking wave, and the pressure that was as majestic as a mountain swept over one layer after another.

Under such pressure, the faces of the people in the Yan Clan turned pale and their hearts went cold.

At this time, the night was full and the sleep was deep.

However, that vast pressure not only intimidated everyone in the Yan Clan, The overlapping aftershocks spread out like tides, He woke up the sleeping Heng Imperial City. Candles lit up in the darkness, At that time, the citizens of Heng Imperial City walked out of their rooms one after another. When they arrived on the streets, most of them did not have any cultivation or only possessed the ability to reach the lower three realms. Naturally, they were unable to pinpoint exactly where the power that suddenly surged in the Royal City came from. However, this did not prevent their hearts from jumping in fear under this pressure.

They looked at each other with horror and fear written all over their eyes.

Among the experts of the Yan Clan, there were only a lot of fear and horror in their eyes.

Sometimes, fearlessness came from ignorance. For Xu Han and the others, the closer they climbed to that realm, the more reverence they had for such a person.

However, no matter how reluctant and surprised Xu Han was at this person's arrival, he had no choice but to grind his teeth and walk out of the door. He came to the white-robed man who stood out of thin air and bowed respectfully to him. He said in a low voice, "Xu Han greets Headmaster Luo."

The white-robed man, Luo Mo, the newly promoted Immortal, looked at Xu Han with a low eyebrow and spat out an ice-cold word, "Where is he?"

Xu Han wasn't sure what the immortal was thinking. He handed a calm gaze to the worried people beside him and calmly said to the immortal, "Headmaster Luo, please follow me."

Luo Mo nodded his head. There was no anger on his face as everyone had imagined. Instead, he was surprisingly calm.

His body also slowly landed in front of Xu Han, and then he nodded again, saying, "Thank you for leading the way, Young Master Xu."

Xu Han remained silent. He respectfully cupped his hands and walked forward to lead the way. Luo Mo also slowly followed.

The two of them had a respectful conversation and a calm attitude. Everyone imagined that if they didn't agree with each other, they would fight. There was a difference between heaven and earth. Whether it was Ye Hongjian or Huang Yu, who belonged to Sunset Cloud Valley, they were all confused. However, after regaining consciousness, the group of people didn't have to think too much and hurriedly followed the two of them.

…

Outside the courtyard gate where Luo Gu Ming had died, there were many swordsmen standing.

However, this group of swordsmen were obviously not fellow travelers. One was a confidant brought by Nangong Jing, and the other was a hot potato that was smashed into Xu Han's hand.

Nangong Jing also knew that this kind of method probably wouldn't yield much, but as Fang Ziyu had said, it was better to do something than to do nothing.

However, as the pressure spread out, both sides unconsciously stopped their work. When Xu Han led a white-robed Luo Mo to appear in front of everyone, the crowd of swordsmen paused.

According to Nangong Jing's instructions, one side was responsible for questioning the other side. Although it was silent for a while, the other side even unconsciously retreated to both sides when they were still tens of feet away from each other, clearing a path for the two of them to walk in the crowd.

Very quickly, Xu Han led Luo Mo to Luo Guming's room door. For the sake of convenience, Luo Guming's corpse remained the same as before his death and was not moved in the slightest.

Xu Han stood still at the door. Luo Mo and Ye Hongjian, who were far behind him, also stopped in their tracks. Luo Mo's expression was still as calm as a statue, but Ye Hongjian and the others, who had been worried that Luo Mo would suddenly attack, couldn't help but cast a puzzled gaze at Xu Han at this moment.

Xu Han turned to look at Ye Hongjian and the others and said, "Wait here. I will accompany Headmaster Luo inside."

Ye Hongjian and the others were naturally worried about this, but Xu Han did not give them a chance to refute. After saying this, he turned to look at Luo Mo and extended his hand to say, "Sect Leader Luo, please!"

The other party nodded and stepped in.

Although everyone was uneasy, However, when they saw this scene, they could only suppress their worries and choose to believe Xu Han. However, they couldn't help but gather their True Essence. They thought that whenever the slightest movement came out of this room, they would brazenly attack and rescue Xu Han. This determination wasn't shaken by the fact that Xu Han was a high and mighty immortal.

…

In the door.

Luo Guming's corpse was still lying quietly on the ground. Blood flowed everywhere, and the door was filled with a rotten stench as time passed.

Xu Han stood quietly by the side and remained silent.

Luo Mo was also silent.

The man who was almost unperturbed silently stared at the ice-cold corpse. Even at this moment, the expression on his face was still incomparably calm.

Only the most intense of emotions, or the most ruthless of reason, can keep one so calm in the face of the unjust death of their loved ones.

However, regardless of whether the Luo Headmaster Sect in front of him belonged to the former or the latter, Xu Han knew what he would do, either for himself or for others to see.

"He died just like that?"

After about a hundred breaths of time, Luo Mo finally spat out his first sentence after entering the room.

"Yes." Xu Han nodded his head and did not explain much. He believed that the flying pigeon released by Huang Yu had already let the Sect Leader know everything. Of course, there were some things that Xu Han did not know, but there was no conclusive evidence to prove that it was useless to say anything before.

Luo Mo didn't expect Xu Han's reply to be so clean. He couldn't help but retract his gaze from the corpse for a short while and turned to Xu Han. "Is that all Young Master Xu has to say about this?"

Hearing this, Xu Han shook his head. "Will the sect master believe me when I say so?"

Luo Mo's eyes narrowed at that moment, and his gaze towards Xu Han instantly became a bit strange.

"Actually, Headmaster Luo is a smart person. You can tell right from wrong with a single glance. The only difference is whether the headmaster is willing to believe it or not. If I am willing, I will not say if the headmaster is right or wrong. If I am unwilling, I will dig out my heart and liver to give the headmaster a look. The headmaster may not care about it." Xu Han's voice rang out again. His tone was also extremely calm, and there was not the slightest bit of panic when a catastrophe struck him.

Luo Mo still chose to remain silent, but his gaze towards Xu Han suddenly became somewhat gloomy and cold. At that time, his clothes were also stirred up, and a vast might began to surge out of his body and rush towards Xu Han.

Under that pressure, Xu Han felt that his breath was blocked, and his chest felt as if it was being struck by a heavy hammer, causing his heart to tremble and his courage to split. He had no choice but to use the sword intent around him and the Undying Realm's physical body to resist this pressure, so that he could barely stand and not kneel under this immortal pressure.

"Xiao Han!"

"The surname is Xu!"

"Brother Xu!"

Everyone outside naturally felt this at the first possible moment, and they all shouted loudly at that moment, about to rush into the room.

"Humph!" The white-robed Luo Mo glanced in the direction of the voice and let out a cold snort. Then, he flicked his finger and a sword light flew out.

As a result, the door of the room exploded, and the people who were about to charge towards them all retreated violently at that time.

Seeing this, Huang Yu thought that Luo Mo's killing intent was an unexpected step forward and said, "Sect Leader, there's something fishy about this matter. Don't act impulsively!"

Obviously, this middle-aged man whose cultivation was not at the Netherpassage Realm had some weight in Luo Mo's heart. Luo Mo was slightly stunned as he looked at Huang Yu and asked, "Why are you pleading for them? You said that Xu Han was the one who did this!"

"At that time, I saw Elder Luo die inexplicably, His heart was filled with sorrow and anger. There was something wrong with his words, However, after thinking about it carefully, he said, "Although this oddity is not enough to exonerate Xu Han, it does not rule out the possibility that the murderer might have killed someone else. If the truth is not clear, then Xiao Anaconda has always protected him and will inevitably bring disaster to Sunset Cloud Valley. If the murderer is someone else, then the sect leader's actions will fall into the hands of that person and make Elder Luo die in discomfort!" Actually, as Xu Han had said before, Luo Guming's death was extremely strange. Huang Yu, who had calmed down, thought carefully for a moment, but he felt that Xu Han's suspicion was far inferior to another guess, so he suddenly changed his attitude.

Hearing this, Luo Mo also pondered. He lowered his head and pondered for a long time. The people around him also recovered from the previous battle. They once again gathered their True Essence and were ready to attack again at any time. On the other hand, Xu Han, Luo Mo's primary target, was still calm and did not show any signs of panic.

Another ten breaths passed.

This wasn't a long time, but for Ye Hongjian and the others, it was as difficult as several years.

Luo Mo seemed to have figured out something and suddenly put away the aura around him. He glanced at Xu Han and said in a deep voice, "You have three days to find out the real culprit."

Without waiting for Xu Han to respond, he looked at Huang Yu and said, "Go, bring him home with me."

Then, the Cactus Sect suddenly turned around and was about to leave. From the beginning to the end, he did not look at the corpse of that fellow brother any longer.

Huang Yu came back to his senses and looked deeply at Xu Han. He hurriedly picked up Luo Guming's cold corpse and quickly followed Luo Mo's footsteps.

Seeing this, Ye Hongjian and the others heaved a sigh of relief. They quickly arrived in front of Xu Han and wanted to inquire about Xu Han's situation.

However, before he could say anything, Xu Han suddenly took a step forward and shouted at the back of Luo Mo, who was about to leave, "Headmaster Luo!"

Luo Mo's footsteps paused slightly, but he did not turn around.

"Sunset Cloud Valley is not Linglong Pavilion…"

"Sect Leader Luo, do you want to make that blank space? Please think about it."

Luo Mo's body trembled imperceptibly when he heard this, but he quickly put away this peculiarity and walked out again. His footsteps seemed as if he had figured out something, becoming incomparably resolute.

With a single step, a pitch-black color spread out from his white robe like ink. Very quickly, his body and the night became one. It was no longer possible to distinguish between them. Thus, along with Huang Yu, who was following behind him, their figures instantly merged into the night and disappeared.
