Chapter 562 Lotus Blossom When Extinguished

Half an hour passed.

Luo Mo was continuously defeated by Xu Hanling's attacks, and he still needed to summon some demonic energy to defend against Xu Han's attacks from time to time, delaying his progress.

Luo Mo also didn't want to sit idly by and wait for death. He tried many methods, and even thought of using demonic energy to directly pour Xu Han to death, causing this youth to explode to death. However, Xu Han's body was like a bottomless pit. He had almost summoned half of the demonic energy in his body, but he was still unable to avoid being swallowed by Xu Han's whale. However, this youth did not reveal the slightest abnormality.

After exhausting all sorts of methods and still being unable to gain any advantage, Luo Mo did something that none of the people present could have imagined and escaped!

Yes, he escaped.

Without any warning, he suddenly summoned the devil energy around him and carried the afterimages away.

Such an unforeseen event caused the surrounding people to be stunned, and the Sunset Cloud Valley disciples brought by Luo Mo looked at each other in dismay.

There was probably nothing more inconceivable in this world.

However, Xu Han did not have so many strange thoughts. He narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction where Luo Mo had escaped. After hesitating for a while, he finally put away his thoughts of cutting down the roots.

Of course, the reason for this wasn't because he couldn't bear it or because he was soft-hearted. In fact, Xu Han was known for his ruthlessness when facing enemies.

Luo Mo was an immortal after all, If he wanted to escape, If Xu Han used the devil energy he had absorbed from Luo Mo, he could catch up. After a long battle, it was possible to kill an immortal. However, such a method would definitely consume a large amount of devil energy. Even Xu Han himself would be seriously injured. Rather than doing so, it was better to preserve his strength and prepare for more trouble.

"I'll leave this place to you." Xu Han then turned his head to look at the stunned Nangong Jing and the others. He paused for a moment and walked out of the Sword Palace without looking back.

…

Chang'an, within the Tian Ce Mansion .

Mr. Lu frowned.

He's upset.

Ever since Yuwen Nanjing was personally given the throne of God by him, it had been endless, like a drizzle outside the window.

It was the end of June, and the summer was coming to an end, as if to welcome the coming autumn. These days, there was always such a continuous drizzle in Chang'an City. Normally, aside from the heat of summer, the coolness brought by such a light rain was always refreshing, but now, the rain made Mr. Lu very upset.

Originally, he thought that the moment Sikong Bai died, the Linglong Pavilion would die in name, and Yuwen Nan Jing would immediately stop flying over the Tian Ce Mansion , but in reality, Mr. Lu still underestimated Yuwen Nan Jing's determination.

In the past four to five days, the Tian Ce Mansion 's finances had been cut off, and the imperial edicts that cut off the number of manor troops had reached Mr. Lu's hands one after another. The old man couldn't understand why Yuwen Nan Jing was so hostile to the Tian Ce Mansion . If it wasn't for the Tian Ce Mansion , where would Yuwen Nan Jing come from today?

She was even willing to believe Zhu Xian, who was almost trying to usurp the throne, but she was also unwilling to believe Tiance Prefecture.

The most irritating thing was that under the leadership of Zhu Xian, the Long Night Division began to search for evidence from people close to the Tian Ce Mansion . There was no need for them to feel guilty if they wanted to. Moreover, how many people in this troubled Chang'an didn't have any troubles with them?

For a moment, everyone in Chang'an City was in danger, and the situation of the Tian Ce Mansion had also become awkward.

Mr. Lu felt a slight pain in his brain. He rubbed his temples and looked at the thick stack of documents in front of the desk. He knew that he still had to be busy, so he sighed deeply and once again buried his head in reading the document.

"Mr. Lu!" However, at this moment, a soldier suddenly walked into the room. He knelt down in front of the old man and cupped his hands in greeting.

"What is it?" Mr. Lu looked at the documents in his hand and asked without raising his head.

The soldier's expression changed slightly, but after a few breaths, he said in a deep voice, "Long Night Priest Zhu Xian requests to see you!"

The old man's hand that was flipping through the documents paused. He raised his head and looked at the soldier. He frowned deeply and said, "What is he doing here?"

…

Outside the Tian Ce Mansion , the azure-clothed woman holding an oil-paper umbrella quietly looked at Zhu Xian who had been invited into the Tian Ce Mansion . She frowned slightly and had a worried expression on her face.

"Can he convince them?" After a long while, the green-clothed woman asked.

As soon as she finished speaking, the space beside her started to wriggle. A figure wrapped in a black robe appeared next to the green-clothed woman.

"Why not?" The black shadow said in a low voice.

The green-clothed woman murmured, "The old antiques of the Tian Ce Mansion have always fished for fame. In their eyes, fame is more important than anything else. Let them…"

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the black shadow, "Nothing is impossible. Everyone in this world has their own desires, from a muddle-headed gangster to a seemingly untainted immortal. This desire is a human weakness. If you use it well, an immortal emperor is also a bargaining chip that you can use."

When the green-clothed woman heard this, her eyebrows slightly raised. She glanced at the black figure with interest and said, "Looks like you are very confident?"

The black shadow shook his head, "It's not confidence. It's just that people have lived for a long time and have seen many people before, so he understands something."

"All right and wrong, good and evil in this world are the terms imposed on this world by those who are willing to do so."

'"Even a hungry calf will starve to death for the sake of its mother's milk. Human nature is self-serving, and evil will arise from it. Where is so much goodness and justice? The essence of this world is evil. The Tian Ce Mansion and Great Xia's Cui Guozhu are also good. If there is a desire in their hearts, they are destined to become pawns in our hands."

Hearing this, the green-clothed woman's expression changed slightly. In the end, she could not completely agree with what the black shadow had said. Even though the other party was the true owner of the Dark Asura Palace, he had to admit that she had also come together for her own sake.

She fell silent and didn't say anything.

The black shadow seemed to have noticed her strange behavior. He turned his head to glance at her and did not say anything more on this topic.

"Hurry up and get rid of the trouble here. It's time to reap the harvest after laying a net for so many years." The black shadow said.

"Huh?" Hearing this, the green-clothed woman couldn't help but be stunned. She understood very well what the so-called "catch" meant.

The black shadow also guessed what she was thinking. He extended his hand and patted the green-clothed woman's shoulder gently, but his body gradually became blurry and hollow at that time.

However, his voice still rang in the woman's ears.

"At the end of autumn, in the Southern Wilderness."

"The Sword Mausoleum will be destroyed, and the lotus flower will wither."
