Chapter 611 Last Time

Deep into the night, the stars were sparse, and the moon was dodged by

However, when the army stopped, Yuan Xiucheng recognized the two youths standing in front of the army with a single glance.

How could he forget them? That winter in Upper Cloud City, he had brought them out. That was the turning point of their fate. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the two of them. The large saber halberd behind him was unsheathed, and its killing intent was cold. He only needed to give an order before it would pour out.

Yuan Xiucheng did not ask them to attack immediately. He felt that this was a very memorable moment, so it was only natural that he should say something.

"Xu Han, Liu Sheng." He muttered the names of the two of them softly, his tone low, his narrowed eyes shining with a light that was incompatible with the night, like a sea of clouds surging, like a huge wave landing on the shore.

"Commander Yuan has lost a lot of weight after not seeing him for many days." However, Xu Han clearly did not have the sadness that Yuan Xiu felt when he cultivated this feeling. He said coldly, and his words were filled with killing intent.

These unkind words did not arouse Yuan Xiucheng's dissatisfaction. He smiled and continued, "Both of you were once Yuan Mou's powerful right and left arms. We are filled with emotions when we meet today. Shouldn't the three of us temporarily put down our weapons and drink a pot together?"

Xu Han was stunned. He never thought that Yuan Xiucheng would make such a suggestion at this moment. He did not respond to Yuan Xiucheng immediately.

Yuan Xiucheng smiled even more. He narrowed his eyes and looked behind Xu Han and Liu Sheng. The figures of the fleeing people were still visible. He was very sure that Xu Han could not refuse his request. Therefore, he did not wait for Xu Han to respond and handed a glance to the Lord Marquis behind him. The other party understood, but did not hesitate at all.

Immediately, two soldiers walked out of the army, lifted a table, and placed a pot of sake and three wine glasses on it.

Yuan Xiucheng, who was dressed in green, stepped forward and whispered to the two, "Please."

However, as he had expected, Xu Han, who wanted to buy more time for everyone, suppressed the suspicion in his heart and walked to the desk. He sat down cross-legged with Liu Sheng.

Yuan Xiucheng respectfully poured wine for the two of them one by one. Then, he raised his cup and faced the two of them, "Let's meet each other. I'll propose a toast to the two of you for this cup."

The two of them pressed their cups and did not move. Obviously, they did not understand what kind of medicine Yuan Xiu had bought in the gourd.

After that, Yuan Xiucheng filled his glass again. Then, he stretched out his hand to play with the glass and asked, "Brother Xu, what do you think of Tiance Prefecture?"

Hearing this, Xu Han was silent and did not answer him. He only stared at Yuan Xiucheng with bright eyes.

Yuan Xiucheng was still not annoyed. He looked behind Xu Han and smiled meaningfully, "Brother Xu, let's talk while Yuan Sanjiu is still in the mood to chat with you."

Xu Han's eyes narrowed. He knew what Yuan Xiucheng meant, so after pondering for a moment, Xu Han finally said, "It's not to deceive the world and steal fame. It's far from being fair. Like you and me, like the rest of the world, good and evil are mixed together. That's all."

Yuan Xiucheng raised his eyebrows, as if he was somewhat surprised, "I didn't expect that in Brother Xu's heart, Yuan Sanjiu hasn't been considered a great traitor or evil yet."

Xu Han took a deep look at the other party. He actually raised his cup and bowed to Yuan Xiucheng, then drank it all in one gulp.

"I look at things. I never look at good or evil. I only distinguish right from wrong."

Yuan Xiucheng smiled and asked, "Is Brother Xu right or wrong to look at me with his gaze?"

Xu Han was dumbfounded. It wasn't that he wasn't willing to respond to Yuan Xiucheng's question, but he didn't know how to respond.

Seeing this, Yuan Xiucheng drank three cups of sake in a row. His cheeks flushed red and he said again, "My brother is known as the Saber King of Mobei. Everyone in the world knows that he is famous for his viciousness. Even if the word Yuan Guilong is mentioned now, it is enough to frighten most of the immortals in the world."

"But he's dead."

"He died at the hands of that Shen Wushuang from the Lunar Temple. He died there with your Senior Martial Uncle."

"They died for this world, but no one in the world knows. Look at the Scarlet Firmament Sect's sect master, Xie Min Yu. He survived three tribulations and claimed to be the number one person under Shen Wu Shuang. But what is he doing? Xiaoying Gougou, chattering endlessly, thinking that he was skilled in calculations, but he did not know that he was just a chess piece; "If you look at all living beings in this world again, Da Chu will devour dragons, and the dead dragons will hang high above the city walls. No matter what, Great Xia has protected them for more than two hundred years. Not to mention their food and clothing, their situation is countless times better than Chen Zhou's."

"But what about them? A mere sacred medicine made their hearts change. They changed their country's surname. They didn't know that the so-called sacred medicine would only wear intestinal poison. It was truly ridiculous."

Saying this, Yuan Xiucheng's smile became even more intense. He drank three times the sake, his face flushed red, and his eyes narrowed, his gaze hazy.

Xu Han looked at Yuan Xiucheng who had lost his composure and frowned. He asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to say?"

Yuan Xiucheng poured himself another glass of sake and smiled, "Yuan Guilong, Mo Chen Zi, and Mu Yushan are all worthy of being called heroes no matter what." But similarly, they are also very stupid. They used their lives to repair this world that was riddled with holes, but they never thought that such a world was worth their lives to exchange for. "

"A catastrophe is imminent."

'"I don't know why the people in the sky always want to kill Brother Xu, but there is a bigger world outside. There are stars and flowers blooming everywhere. I like Brother Xu. I think we can work together to get something from this world and jump out of this world. Isn't it beautiful to be free from this world?"

The so-called catastrophe is imminent, The so-called Myriad Domains of the Universe were all things that Xu Han had obtained from some faint clues. He did not expect Yuan Xiucheng to know this clearly. He was a little surprised, but he kept it in his heart and did not reveal it. He said in a deep voice, "I always thought that Lord Yuan abandoned Tiance Prefecture to join Dark Asura Hall because the other party had given him enough chips. Now it seems that I underestimated Brother Yuan."

"Brother Yuan's heart is filled with a myriad of miles of sea rivers. It looks like Senluo Palace can't accommodate Brother Yuan."

Yuan Xiucheng smiled and raised his glass to Xu Han. Then, he drank it all alone. After finishing all this, he raised his head again and looked behind Xu Han. The crowd that was running there had long since disappeared.

"They're safe now. Brother Xu can go find them now."

Hearing this, Xu Han's expression changed slightly. He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, "Why, don't you kill me?"

"Brother Xu, are you kidding me? I just said that I would join hands with Brother Xu. How could I kill Brother Xu?" Yuan Xiucheng laughed.

Xu Han naturally did not believe his words. He asked, "So Lord Lai Yuan brought this army here just to drink with me?"

Yuan Xiucheng stood up and helplessly shrugged his shoulders. "This is the truth, whether Brother Xu believes it or not." When he said this, he suddenly paused and said in a gloomy tone, "Follow me to the south. Brother Xu will encounter many things that you don't want to believe, but they are destined to happen."

Xu Han didn't know if it was an illusion of his own, but he felt that Yuan Xiucheng seemed to have some intention when he said this, as if he had seen through something. This caused Xu Han's heart to inevitably feel a little uneasy.

He and Liu Sheng also stood up. Although he did not understand what made Yuan Xiucheng suddenly change his temper, since the other party let him leave, there was no need for him to stay. At that time, he cupped his hands together with Liu Sheng towards Yuan Xiucheng and turned around to leave.

The moment he took that step, Yuan Xiucheng's voice sounded again. He said, "Brother Xu, it's going to be difficult, but don't forget that if necessary, someone Yuan will always be Brother Xu's friend."

Hearing this, Xu Han paused, but did not turn around. After nodding slightly, he and Liu Sheng disappeared into the night.

…

Yuan Xiucheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the two figures that had disappeared into the night. The smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

Of course, he wanted to kill Xu Han. This point became even more intense after Xu Han disrupted his plans in Yan Guang City. Moreover, the transaction between Senluo Palace and Shen Wu Shuang had clearly mentioned this point. Killing Xu Han was the best bargaining chip Yu Yuan could use to consolidate his current position.

However, Xu Han's growth had already reached a level that was enough to cause people's hearts to tremble. It was not an easy task to kill him. Yuan Xiucheng had weighed the chips in his hands. A Saint Marquis and seven Saint Sons did not have much chance of winning against Xu Han, who was already terrifyingly strong and had another Demon King submit.

However, these weren't the reasons why Yuan Xiucheng truly relaxed his killing intent. He was good at calculating. If he wanted to, he could even gather the army of Jing Province to rush forward and consume Xu Han's life and death. This was still a worthwhile business for him.

However, he did not do so for a simple reason.

The night he waited for Xu Han to lead the army out, someone found him. He gave him something that shouldn't have appeared in this world. It was this thing that made him change his mind.

"My lord, did you just let them go like this?" At this moment, Lord Sheng Hou approached and asked Yuan Xiucheng, puzzled. "He probably went south for the Great Xia Emperor as a lobbyist. If Xia and Zhou join forces, wouldn't I, Da Chu, be in danger?"

Hearing this, Yuan Xiucheng finally regained his senses. He glanced at the anxious Saint Marquis and swept his gaze over the anxious face of his loyal sect. The corner of Yuan Xiucheng's mouth couldn't help but reveal a pity smile.

Saint Marquis?

Your Majesty?

What's the point? However, they were all ants crawling in the darkness. They thought that they were plotting tricks, but in the end, they were all dolls in the hands of those people who were high above them.

Yuan Xiucheng shook his head and smiled bitterly. Only then did he understand how childish his previous thoughts were.

However, he did not have the intention to correct this Lord Sheng Hou's thoughts. He nodded his head cooperatively and said, "Oh, what Lord Sheng Hou said is very reasonable. It seems that I have miscalculated."

When Lord Marquis Sheng Hou heard this, his tender face revealed a wisp of complexion. He then said, "Then I will lead the troops to pursue them now? I think they will not be able to go far with their elders and young ones." After saying that, Lord Marquis's face was filled with excitement.

"There's no need for that. Since they want to go south, they must pass through Jing Xiu Pass in Jing Zhou. Why don't you stay there and wait for trouble?" Yuan Xiucheng laughed.

When the Marquis heard this, he was stunned and said hesitantly, "But …"

Although he wasn't smart, he wasn't stupid. Since he wanted to chase after Xu Han, he could just kill him directly. He couldn't understand why he was so different from Xu Han.

Yuan Xiucheng seemed to have seen through his doubts. He said, "Come to your ears."

The Marquis did not suspect that he had hurriedly approached him. After hearing Yuan Xiucheng whisper a few words in his ear, the Marquis's face instantly revealed an expression of enlightenment. Afterwards, he hurriedly bowed towards Yuan Xiucheng and said, "Thank you for your guidance, my lord."

Yuan Xiucheng only lightly nodded his head and said, "This matter is of great importance. If Lord Sheng Hou is able to handle it properly, then His Majesty will surely reward you with a dragon-supporting merit after ruling the world."

When he said this, the Marquis trembled and his face flushed red. He said, "Lord Yuan, don't worry. I will do my part for His Majesty. Even if I die, I will still be proud."

"Yes. I will naturally inform His Majesty of your words. That thief Xu Han is currently on his way. Your Majesty, hurry up and set off. I will host a banquet to welcome Your Majesty when you return from your successful journey." Yuan Xiucheng said again, his tone already emitting a hint of impatience.

However, the Divine Marquis, who was dazed by the great merit he was about to obtain, naturally couldn't feel this. He nodded gratefully and bowed several times to Yuan Xiucheng before he stood up and led the 100,000 strong army to stagger the path of Xu Han and the others and rush to Jing Xiuguan in another direction.

The hundred thousand troops were vast and mighty, and when they left this time, yellow sand filled the sky and the earth trembled.

Yuan Xiucheng, who was standing on the spot, looked at the army that was gradually moving away. His eyes narrowed again. He muttered, "They say that a hundred thousand troops will kill Xu Han. Haha, you guys, you can't kill Xu Han. If you go to the underworld, you can try and see if you can kill that Yama and open the way for your Emperor in the Yellow Springs."

After saying those words, Yuan Xiucheng's robes suddenly began to surge, and black gas gushed out from beneath his robes.

The black gas continued to entangle and entangle. In the end, it turned into a black figure. He stood beside Yu Yuan Xiucheng. After narrowing his eyes and looking in the direction where the army had left, he suddenly said, "How does it feel?"

Yuan Xiucheng shook his head and replied in a deep voice, "Not good."

"Although they are a bit stupid, how can we compare to them in the eyes of those people?" As Yuan Xiucheng spoke, he turned to look at the black figure beside him and said, "Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be some sorrow of a rabbit dying and a fox dying."

But after saying this, Yuan Xiucheng put away his thoughts of continuing on this topic. He then asked, "How did you get that thing?"

The black shadow smiled and said, "Those fellows in the sky are too afraid of Wei Changming. There are rules that exist in this world. The number of heavenly tribulations is nine to one. However, in order to kill Wei Changming, they broke the rules and used the tenth heavenly tribulation."

"In the end, Wei Changming was taken away by the surveillance team. This already riddled with holes in the world became even more damaged. This way, there was an opportunity for that thing to come to this world." The black shadow patiently explained to Yuan Xiucheng.

Yuan Xiucheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Looks like you've already reached this stage. Well, you've always been like this all these years. Everything is a step ahead of me."

Hearing this, the black figure did not reveal much complacency. Instead, he sighed and said, "However, I'm standing a little taller than you, so I can't help but wake up a little bit sober than you every time. That's all."

"What should we do next?" Yuan Xiucheng asked again, "According to the time, we seem to be walking a little slower. Those guys are probably going to start again …" After saying this, Yuan Xiucheng intentionally looked up into the sky, as if he was pointing at something.

"We have already set down the chess pieces that should be laid down, and the game of the cloth has already been settled. All we have to do now is wait …" The black shadow said softly, his narrowed eyes gradually shining with some light. "But recently, I've discovered something interesting, and we've always ignored him before."

The conversation between the two continued, but their tone was extremely strange. It didn't seem like they were just cooperating, but more like good friends they had known for decades.

"What is it?" Yuan Xiucheng asked.

"Something that escapes the eyes of those great figures in the sky like us." Black Shadow said.

"What? You mean you want to get rid of him?" Yuan Xiucheng asked again.

"That's not necessary. After all, he hasn't done anything out of line yet. Let's take a look." Black Shadow said. Clearly, his words today seemed to be much more than before.

Hearing this, Yuan Xiucheng did not pursue it any further. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Does that mean we can only continue waiting now?"

"Are you impatient? You've waited for so many years, but you don't want to wait for a while?" Black Shadow asked.

"That's not true. It's just a play. You've watched it over and over again. You're familiar with every plot and every line. No matter how ups and downs it is, you'll still find it boring." Yuan Xiucheng said helplessly.

The black shadow did not deny this. He suddenly stretched out one of his hands, causing black gas to surge behind him. The black gas in his direction quickly distorted the surrounding space, turning it into an incomparably pitch black passageway.

"Let's go," he said. "Whether you like it or not, we have to watch the play."

Yuan Xiucheng shrugged his shoulders again. Without saying anything else, he followed the black figure and walked into the pitch-black passageway.

When the army left, this place was already empty. Only the voices of the two people who had stepped into the darkness were still faintly heard.

"By the way, how many times is this?"

"The nineteenth and last time."

"Is that so? That's right, it's time to end this endless cycle of reincarnation."
