“Su Han, where are the enemies?”
Yuan Xingkong quickly landed beside Su Han and asked in a deep voice.
“Daozi, is there any danger?”
Linghua Old Dao arrived soon after.
He had obviously returned from the sect and spoke out.
“They ran away.”
Su Han replied with a smile.
“So, how many enemies were there in total?”
Yuan Xingkong raised his eyebrows, realizing something was amiss.
“If you count it, one. Qingsongzi from the Yin Shen Temple, a true cultivator of the Dao.”
Su Han thought for a moment and replied.
Su Han waved his hand and replied with a smile.
“You two grandmasters, please don't believe him. This is actually a Heavenly Demon. He has possessed the young master... This is Su Han!”
Seeing this, Su Wen and Su Wu hurriedly shouted.
Yuan Xingkong and Linghua Old Dao fell silent.
The former glanced at Su Han and said faintly, “What scheme are you up to again, kid? Are they all kept in the dark?”
Su Han raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised:
“Temple Master, aren't you afraid that I really am a Heavenly Demon who has possessed him?”
“Afraid of what? I can see through your aura at a glance, kid. Like a dragon, like a tiger. How could a so-called Heavenly Demon simulate such an aura?” Yuan Xingkong crossed his arms and said with a smile.
Linghua Old Dao stroked his beard and nodded slightly, “Indeed, indeed. Daozi has cultivated a pure and tranquil heart. Even if a Heavenly Demon is terrifying, it couldn't possibly possess a Daozi with a pure and tranquil heart.”
Upon hearing these words, Su Wen and Su Wu were immediately bewildered.
They looked at each other.
It seemed everyone present except them was kept in the dark.
Su Han glanced at the sky. The Yin Shen Mirror had already disappeared, obviously taken back. He smiled slightly and said, “Two seniors, please don't blame me for concealing things. The situation was too critical, and I couldn't reveal the truth. Now, please listen to my detailed explanation.”
He recounted the situation just now in detail.
Yuan Xingkong and Linghua Old Dao were immediately shocked. The two looked at each other. It hadn't been long since they last met, and Su Han had already subdued a Heavenly Demon and even allowed it to successfully possess Xuan Yue Daozi?
Linghua Old Dao couldn't help but click his tongue.
As a true cultivator, all demons were great enemies, especially Heavenly Demons, the enemy of enemies. No one knew better than him how difficult they were to deal with, yet Su Han had subdued one.
Wasn't he said to be the future Daozi of the Louguan Dao?
However, he also expressed some concern, saying:
“Daozi, you must be vigilant at all times. Heavenly Demons are cunning and unpredictable. They may have ways to escape the soul contract. Such demons can easily devour their masters!”
Su Han nodded in response:
“Please rest assured, Elder Linghua. I have insurance. If it dares to betray me, I can instantly burn it to death. Besides, since it has been defeated by me, I am not afraid of being backlashed by it.”
Yuan Xingkong nodded:
“That's the spirit of a martial artist. Linghua Old Dao has already said the other things I wanted to say, so I'm too lazy to repeat them.”
“Moreover, since that's the case, I won't pursue the matter of you suddenly calling the two of us over. This is a new wooden token for you to take, but I hope next time it's truly a life-threatening crisis.”
“This is also a new talisman. Please use it sparingly, Daozi.”
Linghua Old Dao also handed Su Han a yellow talisman and said helplessly. Although he had taken the broken pagoda and rushed back as quickly as possible, he was still halfway there when Su Han lit the talisman.
In his urgency, he had to use his natal divine ability to travel through the void, which allowed him to arrive so quickly, but the cost was also a great consumption of energy, almost damaging his vitality.
“Understood. Please rest assured, you two. I will never misuse it again.”
Su Han nodded in assurance.
He also understood the principle of "the boy who cried wolf" and "playing tricks on the feudal lords with beacon fires". Although he didn't intentionally play tricks, objectively, he had indeed made one of the two make a trip for nothing.
Putting himself in their shoes, he would also be dissatisfied.
“Rather than you not misusing it, you should strive to advance to the Qi Barrier as soon as possible. Don't forget what I said before. Experts and talents from all over the Da Li Dynasty are gathering in Ping'an County.”
“Judging by the time, many people are about to arrive.”
Yuan Xingkong said indifferently.
“So soon?”
Su Han was a little surprised. This efficiency was a bit high.
But thinking about it, he didn't find it strange. After all, Yuan Xingkong's public statement was that the Eternal Underworld that had appeared here, although dangerous, was also a place containing opportunities.
In short, everyone was here to seek treasure.
Naturally, they were eager.
“That's why I told you to cultivate diligently.”
“Since you chose to stay in Ping'an County, you have to bear that pressure. Although I can protect you for a while, I don't have the strength of a teacher after all, so it's difficult to do so for a long time.”
“Who told you to occupy this aura golden dragon that is too conspicuous.”
Yuan Xingkong sighed and looked up at the golden dragon in the sky.
“They also care about this aura golden dragon?”
Su Han raised his eyebrows.
“I think they might care even more, it's too conspicuous.”
Linghua Old Dao said quietly.
Su Han was speechless. He understood. The special effects were too high.
One million for a dragon, right?
However, this aura golden dragon was, after all, formed by the convergence and manifestation of all the dragon energy within the eight hundred miles of Ping'an County. Even he couldn't restrain it, but he didn't want to restrain it either.
The path of a martial artist was to compete for victory and keep winning.
Regardless of the outcome, one must have this ambition.
Otherwise, one would have no chance with the martial arts myth, the ultimate realm of the world.
Su Han pondered, it seemed he had to speed up his cultivation.
“Temple Master Yuan, there's no need to put so much pressure on Daozi. With the two of us here, I believe those experts and talents won't be too presumptuous. Oh, right, I've already brought that treasure.”
Linghua Old Dao spoke and waved his sleeve.
A dilapidated, only three-story tall, and better called a spire than a pagoda, floated in front of Su Han, emitting a faint spiritual rhythm and some mystery.
Su Han raised his eyebrows, and new information appeared before his eyes.
This is...
“Xuanhuang Pagoda (Damaged): A treasure originating from the Louguan Dao. In the Dragon Conquest War a thousand years ago, it was blown up due to insufficient Xuanhuang Mystical Qi, leaving only the three-story spire. However, the Xuanhuang Mystical Qi within has withered, and it can only mobilize a little spiritual rhythm for self-protection.”
Linghua Old Dao continued to explain:
“According to the sect's records, to unleash the power of this pagoda, one needs high-level Heaven and Earth Mystical Qi, Xuanhuang Mystical Qi. Unfortunately, this Qi is extremely difficult to find, and I, the old Dao, have never obtained it.”
“Otherwise, its power might be even greater.”
He sighed, unable to help but lament in his heart.
Back then, their Louguan Dao also had many treasures, and the classics were as vast as the sea. Who would have thought that a thousand years later, it would have declined to this point?
Even Xuanhuang Mystical Qi could not be found.
“Xuanhuang Mystical Qi? Are you talking about these?”
Su Han activated the Xuanhuang Dao Mark in his body, evolving the Xuanhuang Canopy, and letting down the Xuanhuang Mystical Qi, the aura spreading out, no longer hiding.
