Chapter 598 Unexpected Goodbye

"What is that?" Fang Ziyu stuttered as he stared at the humanoid creature in the giant cage.

"Finished! Finished!" However, before Xu Han could respond to Fang Ziyu, the skinny old man let out an extremely unpleasant howl, "This cloth can isolate the aura of strangers. Do you have any demonic powder covering your bodies? This demonic creature will wake up soon after smelling the scent of humans. Let's quickly run!"

The old man said seriously. Seeing the panicked expression on his face, it didn't seem to be a lie.

However, Xu Han did not show any signs of panic. He withdrew his gaze from the young boys and girls and looked at the humanoid creature behind the giant iron cage once again.

The hall was too dark for him to see clearly. He took a few more steps forward. Seeing that, Fang Ziyu was about to warn Xu Han to be careful, but Liu Sheng patted her shoulder and signaled her not to act rashly. Fang Ziyu could only temporarily suppress the worry in his heart, but his gaze was still fixed on Xu Han.

"Grandpa, grandpa, you're courting death! Can't you stop pulling the little one? The little one is old and the little one is young, can you spare the little one's life?" Seeing that Xu Han was so bold, the skinny old man's heart raised to his throat. He looked at Liu Sheng and begged with a charming smile.

However, Liu Sheng did not pay attention to his words. He glared at the old man fiercely. The killing intent surging between his eyebrows made the old man realize that if he made any sound, the young man in front of him would kill him without hesitation. He immediately stopped.

Xu Han walked to the cage and stared at the creatures inside.

It was a 50-meter-long creature. To him, this huge cage was a little crowded. He sat on the ground, his entire body covered in needle-like hair. His eyes, the size of a lantern, were tightly shut, and from time to time, he let out a deep breath. Even though he was in a coma, and even though he was pierced into his body by the silver cone, Xu Han still felt the pressure that flowed out of his body like a waterfall.

This was… a… Demon King!

Xu Han suddenly came to his senses, and at this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Sir, Yuan Yanluo is here."

The skinny old man's eyebrows immediately lit up with joy. He was about to call for help, but a suffocating force came from his throat. The voice that reached his mouth was immediately stuck in his throat and could not be spat out.

"Sir?" The person outside the room did not hear the response from inside and asked again.

The old man, who was almost unable to breathe, repeatedly gave Liu Sheng a pleading gaze. Only then did Liu Sheng relax the strength in his hand.

"Cough cough … you … ask Lord Yuan to wait a moment, I will come out in a moment." This time, the skinny old man had learned a lot. He followed Liu Sheng's instructions and said to the people outside the room.

"But … Yuan Yanluo is almost outside the door." The person outside said hesitantly.

The old man's face immediately revealed a bitter expression. He was extremely afraid that Xu Han and the others would fight to the death with Yuan Yanluo and kill him along the way. He repeatedly looked at Xu Han and the others and begged for mercy.

At this moment, Xu Han withdrew his gaze from the ape and walked to the entrance of the hall. Then, he lowered his voice and said, "Let him in."

The skinny old man was shocked. He could see the killing intent in the young man's heart from Xu Han's gaze. Although he did not understand how this young man had the confidence to fight against a Yama who was almost invincible in the old man's heart, he still said to the door in order to save his life, "Then invite Lord Yuan in."

…

Yuan Xiucheng walked in the dim corridor with a heavy brow. His gaze was cold, and his black robe casually swayed as he walked, like a ghost flaunting in the night.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor, long and continuous.

His mood wasn't too good. Ever since the failure of the Demon Suppressing Tower's plan to seize the Demon Lord's Blood Essence, his status in the Dark Asura Palace had deteriorated. In addition, he had been deliberately suppressed by a great figure. At this moment, Lord Yama's current situation in the Dark Asura Palace could be said to be extremely awkward.

Whether it was the failure of the former or the suppression of the latter, it all came down to the youth named Xu Han, the youth he had brought out of Upper Cloud City in the Azure Province. His growth had already far exceeded his control, which made Yuan Xiucheng very unhappy.

It was said that the house was leaking during the night rain, Recently, something had gone wrong in the territory of Jing Zhou that he was in charge of, A group of people led by Jiang Lai was actually able to resist the effects of the holy medicine. Not being controlled by him, they even joined forces and almost destroyed a new batch of holy medicines. Fortunately, Yuan Xiucheng's defenses in the Sacred Palace were quite tight. Otherwise, if this batch of holy medicines were destroyed, Yuan Xiucheng would probably be unable to preserve his Yama's position.

Yuan Xiucheng intentionally wanted to use the river to lure out those traitors that might still exist in Jingzhou, At the same time, there were people who wanted to investigate how Jiang Lai resisted the control of the holy medicine. However, the demon masters sent to him by the Dark Asura Palace were obviously inferior to the other demon masters. After two days, they had nothing to gain. There was no other way. Yuan Xiucheng could only invite that strange old man. With his profound knowledge and understanding of the demon race, he should obtain something.

However, this old man's temper was very strange. He had a fanatical interest in the demon race that was almost morbid. Even if Yuan Xiu had not reached the last resort, he was unwilling to make contact with him.

In less than fifteen minutes, Jing Yuan reached the door of the old man's hall. A pungent smell came from the hall. Yuan Xiucheng frowned even deeper. He secretly cursed, "If Xu Han hadn't interfered, how could he have fallen to the point of personally inviting this old man?" Thinking of this, his hatred towards Xu Han grew even more intense.

He thought that after taking care of Jing Zhou, he would definitely send people to find traces of Xu Han and find out the youth who dared to betray him, so that he could taste the price of betraying him.

Thinking of this, he gave the guards on both sides a look, and the two of them immediately understood that they were about to walk and push open the thick doors of the hall.

The icy coldness on Yuan Xiucheng's face dissipated at that time, and a warm smile climbed onto his forehead, "Elder Zhou, long time no see …"

He said with a smile. Then, he stepped forward. However, as the door of the hall was pushed open, it wasn't the old man's bent body that appeared in front of him. Instead, it was the shadow of a sword wrapped in a pitch-black sword that covered the sky.

In the depths of the sword light, the youth who he wished to crush his bones into ashes charged towards him with an icy cold expression.

Yuan Xiu's cultivation was like a dream. He was somewhat dazed, unable to distinguish whether everything in front of him was a real existence or an illusion created by his obsession. It wasn't until the cold blade of the sword cut open his black robe that he finally came to his senses.

As a result, his pupils dilated and his eyebrows blossomed with rage.

He stared at the youth and gritted his teeth and called out his name.

"Xu Han!"
