Chapter 677 To Risk One's Life, One Must First Clear Up One's Doubts

At the peak of the Great Abyss Mountain, grass was flying.

Even in the middle of the night, a soft rustling sound could still be heard in the forest, as if some beast was foraging at night.

Liu Sheng had already fallen asleep, but Xu Han still did not feel sleepy.

Although Ah Huang usually liked to have a hard time with Aowu, or the pride of being a Monster King made him disdain to communicate with this stupid dog, the two of them still gathered together and fell asleep at night. Xu Han sat up and Xuan'er, who was sleeping beside his head, instinctively raised her head. She opened her amber eyes wide and looked at Xu Han with curiosity.

Xu Han smiled and touched the little fellow's head. Then, he stood up. Seeing that, Xuan'er naturally leapt onto Xu Han's shoulder. It seemed as if it could see the annoyance in Xu Han's heart. It rubbed Xu Han's neck with its head, as if it wanted to comfort Xu Han.

After spending so much time with Xuan'er, Xu Han could guess the little fellow's thoughts. He smiled faintly and his heart warmed up.

Immediately after, he stepped aside and walked to the edge of the flat roof, where he sat. The Great Abyss Mountain was seven thousand feet tall. Xu Han hadn't made any calculations, but apart from the hundred thousand mountain on his back, there shouldn't be such a handsome mountain in this world. The most peculiar thing was that the foot of the mountain was covered in snow, and green plants began to grow from the mountainside to cover the entire cliff, thus forming a unique paradise.

"If we don't stop Dark Asura Hall, I'm afraid there won't be such a beautiful scene in this world ever again." Sitting on the cliff, Xu Han looked at the oasis that stretched for thousands of feet, and recalled the tragic scene from the Southern Wilderness to the Great Zhou Dynasty. He sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but mutter.

"Miao?" Xuan'er raised her head to look at Xu Han and let out a soft call, as if she was responding to Xu Han.

Xu Han lowered his head and looked at the little fellow. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect that there would be a Demon Monarch by my side. Xuan'er, you've hidden it deep enough."

Xu Han's joking tone landed in Xuan'er's ears. It seemed as if it understood what Xu Han meant. It shook its head and cried out, as if it was explaining something to Xu Han.

Even though Xu Han had been with Xuan'er for a long time, he was still unable to understand what Xuan'er was saying at this moment. He only roughly knew what Xuan'er seemed to be explaining.

Xu Han touched Xuan'er's head and said, "I understand. No matter who you are, I will treat you as Xuan'er."

When the little fellow heard this, he was satisfied. He narrowed his eyes again and rubbed his head against Xu Han's neck, as if to express the joy in his heart.

Xu Han's neck was slightly itchy from Xuan'er's rubbing. He repeatedly dodged Xuan'er's head, but who knew that Xuan'er would "not forgive others" and keep chasing after Xu Han. At that moment, a person and a cat were wrestling together. Xuan'er's throat emitted bursts of rumbling sounds. Obviously, she enjoyed being with Xu Han like this.

After playing like this for a long time, Xu Han grabbed Xuan'er, who was messing around, and simply laid on the ground with Xuan'er in his arms.

On the Great Abyss Mountain, the gray aura that enveloped the Great Zhou Territory did not seem to have affected this place. Looking up at the horizon, Xu Han could clearly see the stars flickering in the sky. The starlight poured down on his body like a waterfall. Such a beautiful scene that he had not seen for a long time caused his tired heart to gradually calm down.

Xuan'er, who was in her arms, seemed to have sensed Xu Han's state of mind as well. She gradually calmed down and crawled on his body.

This resplendent starlight reminded Xu Han of the surveillance personnel who had helped him several times. Wherever he went, there would be starlight everywhere, and the most dazzling thing was the seven stars hanging above his head.

Xu Han closed his eyes and thought of the scene when the surveillance person appeared. Streams of rays of light shone like a galaxy, vast and dazzling, panicked and dazzling. Suddenly, his brows furrowed. He remembered that time when he was trapped in the illusion that the Demon God had summoned. Even though he had used all of his abilities, he had not found any way to break the situation. At that time, he had already entered the Death Realm.

But at that moment, a golden line broke between his eyebrows, and a figure bathed in starlight jumped out from between his eyebrows.

He stepped on the starlight and threw a decisive saber at the Demon God.

As a result, the illusion shattered and Xu Han was able to see the light of day again.

At that time, the star above the figure seemed to be very similar to one of the seven stars above the watcher.

Who is he? Why did it appear in his body? Why would he save him at that time?

At that time, these questions inevitably appeared in Xu Han's heart. It seemed that what was hidden in his body was not only the thing that the ancient devils called an emperor, but also some bigger secrets.

"Miao?" As Xu Han thought about this, Xuan'er's voice sounded in his ears again.

He was pulled out of his thoughts. Xuan'er had already arrived in front of his head. She widened her amber pupils and looked at Xu Han as if she was asking him what was troubling him.

Xu Han reached out and touched the smooth hair on Xuan'er's back, muttering, "Hello, at least you know who you are."

"You can also know."

Just as Xu Han's words fell, a calm voice sounded in his ears.

Xu Han was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, streaks of red light gushed from his side and condensed into a red figure.

It's Fei Lian.

After they finished their conversation today, Fei Lian said that he had something important to deal with, so he left alone. Xu Han and the others temporarily stayed here and waited. At this moment, Fei Lian suddenly appeared. Xu Han did not expect it.

However, Fei Lian did not have the slightest bit of consciousness in this regard. At that time, he turned to look at Xu Han with a smile and continued, "I remember when you were in the Mausoleum of the Sword, you and your senior brother once said that the more you were at the Nine Deaths Stage, the more you had to have the will to survive in order to have a chance of survival." "You have doubts in your heart, and since you have obtained the method, why aren't you willing to solve the puzzles in your heart?"

When Fei Lian said this, his face was full of smiles, and he had the bearing of an elder who had been preached to solve the puzzles of the karma.

However, Xu Han's expression was strange when he heard this. He looked at Fei Lian for a long time before asking suspiciously, "Senior has been monitoring me?"

At this moment, Fei Lian's expression froze as his smile dissipated. He said embarrassedly, "It's just a casual glance from the heavens … a casual glance …"

However, such words obviously could not completely convince Xu Han. On the contrary, it caused the suspicion on Xu Han's face to heighten. It was mostly because of Xu Han's gaze that Fei Lian found it difficult to maintain the calm he had forcefully made. He could only say again, "After all, you still have my right arm on you … I have to be more or less concerned about it …"

"But that surveillance person seems to care about you very much. You have a trace of his aura on you. Most of the time, I can't spy on you. Only occasionally … Occasionally."

Hearing this, Xu Han was still skeptical of Fei Lian's words, but he also put down the grievances that had suddenly arisen in his heart. After all, as Fei Lian had said before, what was pressing on his body was not only the Demon Lord's right arm, but also the rise and fall of the entire demon race. It was reasonable for him to do so.

As a Demon Monarch, Fei Lian had read countless people. Naturally, he could guess Xu Han's thoughts from the subtle change in expression on Xu Han's face. He quickly followed the wind and coughed. "Anyway, I feel that since you want to know who you are, you should find out."

Xu Han naturally knew that Fei Lian was intentionally changing the topic, but he was not willing to pursue the matter any further. In addition, Fei Lian's words had indeed hit his sore spot. He couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile and said, "I understand what Great Lord said. However, a great battle is imminent. After this incident, I will naturally."

"Although the peak of Kunlun is 10,000 kilometers away, with your current cultivation level, you can return and return within a month. The Dark Asura Palace that you speak of must be prepared thoroughly to kill me. Without three months, they will not be able to prepare enough strength to kill me. Therefore, you know very well that you have plenty of time to unlock the confusion in your heart." When Fei Lian said this, his tone became serious again. He looked at Xu Han. His eyes, which had experienced tens of thousands of years, were incomparably deep, as if they could pierce through Xu Han's entire body with a single glance.

Under this gaze, Xu Han was defeated. He was about to say something, but the Demon Lord did not seem to intend to let Xu Han off. He said it again before Xu Han could speak.

"You're scared, aren't you?"

"You're afraid of knowing what you are, aren't you?"

The words of the Demon Lord pierced into Xu Han's heart. Xu Han's expression changed, and the words that reached his mouth were immediately swallowed by him.

"It was you who found me. You wanted to join hands with me to fight against that evil and filthy person for your clansmen and for my clansmen. If you hesitate, you will be in a close fight. Your only 10% chance of winning will be reduced by a few points because of your hesitation. I can't afford such a failure, so I want you to solve your doubts."

"Look, there are so many people betting that you will win. What are you afraid of?"

"Whether it's humans or demons, we were born in this world to fight against the heavens. The heavens want us to die, but we insist on living, so we have to fight them."

"If you really are something we don't want to face, so what? Just like how you broke your arm and fought with others, wanting to live and fight with your life, wanting to change your fate and fight with the heavens, just fight with yourself again."

"There are so many people who want to bet on you. You have to place your bet on this gambling table first and tell them that you bet on yourself to win. Only then will they and us be able to follow you peacefully, don't you think?"

Hearing this, Xu Han's expression changed again. It was only after a long time that he seemed to have figured out something and turned to look at the Demon Lord.

He blinked and said, "So…"

"Is Dajun really keeping an eye on me?"
