Chapter 609 Sir, What I Have Been Entrusted with

Tongcheng wasn't big. With Xu Han's half-step Immortal Realm cultivation, he could easily set up several sword arrays around Tongcheng.

Naturally, this sword formation could not be said to be very exquisite. Ordinary Heavenly Hunt Realm experts could even break it with a little effort. However, to these 30,000 ordinary people, these sword formations were like lightning pools, and no one dared to cross half a step.

Tong Cheng was locked up.

It turned into a cage that no one else could enter, but the people in the city could not leave.

As the initiator of all of this, Xu Han seemed to be completely unaware of it. He led Fang Ziyu and the others, who were similarly unsure of why, into the luxurious mansion in front of the Saint Weapon Girl. He was like a local emperor who had taken over the nest of the Saint Weapon Girl.

Of course, this was a very strange decision. After all, everyone had planned to leave Tong City and even Jing Province as soon as possible. They naturally couldn't understand what made Xu Han risk being surrounded by the Yuan Cultivation Army to make such a decision.

Such worries were even more evident in the hearts of the people of Tongcheng.

With their level, they naturally couldn't understand who Xu Han was or what he wanted to do. However, this did not hinder their understanding of their identities at this moment. They were all prisoners in Xu Han's hands, and they were unable to snatch their lives from the other party in a single thought.

Although the lives of ordinary people had never been in their own hands, when the truth was so intuitively exposed to their eyes, they still couldn't help but fall into unease and fear.

Of course, Xu Han didn't need to care about what these ordinary people were thinking. All he had to do was make sure that the people in Tong City wouldn't be able to leak out everything that had happened in the past five days.

Xue Lian, the leader of the assassins, In the end, he agreed to Xu Han's request. This was a choice for him that did not have many other options, It wasn't that he hadn't thought that Xu Han would be a big shot sent by Jing Zhou. He had summoned all of them and captured them in one go. However, under the mediation of Young Master Jiang Lai, Xue Lian still temporarily trusted Xu Han. After all, their current situation wouldn't be any worse. Perhaps Xu Han would bring them a turn for the better. However, this was still a huge gamble. However, it was like a gambler with only three copper coins left. If he wanted to turn around, he had to risk his life and bet all his money on the gambling table.

That night, Xu Han sat alone in the small courtyard with the black cat in his arms. Under the angry gaze of the yellow monkey, he leisurely closed his eyes and fell asleep.

An uninvited guest pushed open the door of Xu Han's courtyard and came straight to Xu Han.

Xu Han opened his eyes and looked up and down at the confused young man. He was not too surprised by his arrival. He pointed at the stone table not far away and signaled for him to sit down. Then, he asked, "Little Prince, what's the matter?"

Li Dingxian's gaze wandered. After a while, he asked, "Why did you save them?"

To Li Dingxian, this was of course a very confusing matter. His father had always taught him to weigh the pros and cons. Although it was sometimes difficult for him to do so, he still had a hard time choosing between the lives of Great Zhou and the lives of the people of Tongcheng. In his opinion, trading the lives of 30,000 people for the lives of the entire Great Xia and even the entire world was obviously not a worthwhile business. Even in his impression, Xu Han shouldn't be able to do such a thing.

Xu Han asked, "They?"

Li Dingxian frowned. He felt that it was impossible for Xu Han not to know who they were referring to. Xu Han was playing Taiji, obviously not wanting to answer his question. The arrogant little prince did not have the bearing of a courteous servant or could not do this to Xu Han. He angrily stood up and was about to leave.

"If Little Prince is referring to the people in Tong City, then I think Little Prince has asked the wrong person. I never wanted to save them." However, Xu Han's voice suddenly sounded as the other party walked away.

Li Dingxian's footsteps were suspended in mid-air. He turned to look at Xu Han, and the puzzlement between his eyebrows became serious again.

"Just as I said before, they have already believed what the Emperor of Chu said. If you destroy this batch of holy medicines, there will be another batch of holy medicines. You can save them for a while, but you can't save them for a lifetime. They won't even remember your kindness. They will only treat you as a villain." Xu Han continued.

Li Dingxian was not stupid. After hearing this, he quickly recovered his senses. He said in shock, "So you asked Xue Lian to summon those companions to save Xue Lian and the others. Do you want to bring them out of seclusion together?"

'"But even if those thousand plus people want to leave, even if they don't have Yuan Xiu, they will inevitably be shocked by the defenders of the border. Why …" Li Dingxian paused for a moment before saying, "Could it be related to that copper plate?"

Xu Han narrowed his eyes and smiled. He did not comment on Li Dingxian's speculation.

"What about these 30,000 people? Are you just watching them get bullied by that holy medicine? That's 30,000 lives!" Li Dingxian saw from Xu Han's expression that there was nothing wrong with his guess. He couldn't help but question Xu Han loudly.

A cold light flickered in Xu Han's narrowed eyes. He said in an extremely deep voice, "I told you, I can't save them."

When he said this, he changed the topic and said, "Besides, how can the little prince, who has never done anything before, have the confidence to question me?"

'"I…" Li Dingxian, who was stabbed in the face, was speechless for a while. After a while, he said somewhat discouraged, "I… Since I've come to this point, why don't you try and see if I can save him?"

Xu Han glanced at Li Dingxian's gloomy expression and his tone suddenly softened. "Little Prince, what a person should do and what he can do is never said by others. You have to ask your own heart. Immortals and mortals alike, their lifespans are only a thousand years, and those with a short lifespan are only a few decades. Since the world is going to suffer, why not follow your heart?"

Li Dingxian's body trembled. His gaze flickered as he looked at Xu Han. He probably never thought that Xu Han would say such a thing to him at this moment, but before he could say a word of gratitude, Xu Han's voice sounded again.

"Little Prince, do what you want. I only have five days to wait for you. Well, to be exact, there are only four and a half days left."

Hearing this, Li Dingxian finally reacted. He bowed solemnly to Xu Han, but did not say anything else. After completing this salute, he turned around and strode out of Tong City.

At that time, Xu Han squinted at Li Dingxian's back and narrowed his eyes again.

If he hadn't seen wrongly, this little prince seemed to be carrying a copper coin with him, but he didn't know about it.

It wasn't until Li Dingxian's figure completely disappeared from Xu Han's sight that Xu Han withdrew his gaze and raised his head to look at the sky.

It was night, and there were no clouds in the sky, and the starlight on the dome was dazzling.

Looking at the starlight, his expression suddenly became a little melancholy. He muttered to himself, "Does Sir want me to carry this wooden box, or…"

"What about this world?"
