Chapter 339: Han Xin must join the Yin-Yang School!

In the vast Yunmeng Marshes.

Donghuang Taiyi was fleeing for his life.

Su Xuan said he gave him a quarter of an hour.

No one knew if Su Xuan would go back on his word.

And even if it were a quarter of an hour, Donghuang Taiyi felt it was not safe. After reaching the Grandmaster realm, one could perceive another's aura and then grasp that thread of aura, which was called "Locking the Soul from a Thousand Miles." Su Xuan's strength far exceeded that of a Grandmaster, so if he did not run fast enough, it was still possible for the other party to find him.

Donghuang Taiyi unleashed all his skills. The obstacles in the Yunmeng Marshes that were difficult for ordinary people to cross, such as lakes and swamps, were like flat ground to him.

Even after the quarter of an hour had passed, he maintained his full-effort posture and continued to run.

No one knew how long he had been running.

When all his strength was exhausted, he, wearing his mask, lay panting on the ground.

Donghuang Taiyi had never been as exhausted as he was at this moment, nor had he ever been as relieved.

He did not believe that, having fled this far, Su Xuan could still catch up to him.

This meant he had escaped the life-and-death crisis brought by Su Xuan and had temporarily survived.

As long as he was alive, there was still hope.

This was Donghuang Taiyi's consistent view.

Although Su Xuan was powerful, as long as he was still alive, he would always have a chance to surpass Su Xuan and take back everything that belonged to him.

Right now, he had lost to Su Xuan, which only meant the Huang Shi Heavenly Book was not powerful enough.

He needed more power.

And as it happened, Donghuang Taiyi knew of another place that could grant him even greater power.

Shushan!

Shushan referred to the mountains in the Shu region, and also to a heritage hidden within the land of Ba and Shu.

The heritage of the Nine Li!

In the past, when Did Chi You was defeated, most of the Nine Li tribes led by Did Chi You were incorporated into the Yan-Huang tribes, but a small portion still carried Did Chi You's heritage and hid in the deep mountains. They continued the customs of the ancient era, practicing the way of witchcraft and poisons.

Years ago, after the Yin-Yang School separated from the Daoist School, they went to Shushan and plundered a portion of the Shushan heritage. It could be said that the Yin-Yang School's cultivation arts themselves had shadows of the Shushan lineage within them.

But right now, Donghuang Taiyi felt it was not enough; he needed to obtain more of the Shushan heritage.

If he could obtain the entire heritage of the Shushan tribe and fuse it with the existing cultivation arts of the Yin-Yang School, combined with the principles comprehended from the Huang Shi Heavenly Book, by combining the strengths of the three lineages, he might be able to take a new path and break through to a realm above Heaven-Man.

For people of the current era, Heaven-Man was already the limit.

But in the ancient era, that was not necessarily the case.

Donghuang Taiyi had comprehended the Huang Shi Heavenly Book and also confirmed the existence of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, making him more determined in this matter.

In the Yunmeng Marshes.

After Su Xuan defeated Donghuang Taiyi and Yan Fei killed Xing Hun, they did not leave.

Instead, they temporarily stayed in the Yunmeng Marshes.

Fortunately, Chu Nan Gong had two houses here; one was already there, and the other had been built by Donghuang Taiyi and Xing Hun. Now that Xing Hun and Donghuang Taiyi were dead and fled, this room became vacant, so Su Xuan and Yan Fei staying here could not be considered occupying a magpie's nest.

A lone man and woman sharing a room, if they were strangers, it would inevitably be a bit awkward.

Fortunately, Su Xuan and Yan Fei were not strangers.

Time passed like this for several days.

Su Xuan still had not opened the Huang Shi Heavenly Book; he had no intention of comprehending it here. Regarding the Huang Shi Heavenly Book, he planned to wait until he returned to comprehend it; this heavenly book was clearly an extraordinary object.

If he really comprehended something, should he go into seclusion or not?

This was a wilderness, clearly not a good environment for seclusion.

But to give up the things comprehended and give up seclusion was truly a bit regrettable.

So, it was better to treat it as a surprise, a blind box, and wait until he returned to open it.

It was on this day that Chu Nan Gong took the initiative to find Su Xuan.

"I said, I will not return to the Yin-Yang School!"

"Does Nan Gong think that I am staying here to persuade you to return to the Yin-Yang School?" Su Xuan looked at Chu Nan Gong and asked calmly.

"Isn't it?"

Chu Nan Gong raised his eyebrows.

If Su Xuan and Yan Fei stayed here for a day, that would be fine; it could be understood that they had come from afar and, after completing the battle with Donghuang Taiyi, were preparing to rest for a while. Normally, resting for a day or two would be enough.

But looking at the posture of Su Xuan and Yan Fei, it seemed they were prepared to continue staying here.

Chu Nan Gong could not help but interpret it as Su Xuan and Yan Fei wanting to put pressure on him to force him to return to the Yin-Yang School.

It was not Chu Nan Gong bragging; although he was not a match for Su Xuan and Donghuang Taiyi, he was still an expert at the peak of Heaven-Man. There were not many such experts in the world.

Su Xuan's desire to invite him back to the Yin-Yang School was understandable.

"I know that Nan Gong has left the Yin-Yang School for many years and is very unfamiliar with the current Yin-Yang School, so you do not want to return. Regarding this, I do not force it. Yan Fei and I are staying here because there are still some matters to handle, so we have been delayed for a few days, not expecting to cause Nan Gong a misunderstanding."

Chu Nan Gong listened to Su Xuan speaking slowly. Through these few days of contact, he also discovered another difference between Su Xuan and Donghuang Taiyi.

That was, Su Xuan never alienated those weaker than him because he possessed powerful strength.

"Is that so?"

Chu Nan Gong's raised eyebrows relaxed.

He could not help but let out a sigh of relief.

But immediately after, Su Xuan's next sentence made his heart tighten again, and he became vigilant once more.

"As far as I know, after Nan Gong left the Yin-Yang School, you took in a few disciples. You do not have to return to the Yin-Yang School, but your disciples are still considered people of the Yin-Yang School, and they must return!"

Upon hearing Su Xuan's words, Chu Nan Gong was silent for a while and said: "I do not know where Lord Master Xuantian got this news, but I want to say that I have never taken in any disciples!"

"Is that so?"

Su Xuan had an expression of disbelief, then looked at Chu Nan Gong and said another sentence: "I can ignore others, but Han Xin must join the Yin-Yang School!"

Chu Nan Gong's heart was shaken.

He did not expect Su Xuan to know this person.

Although he lived in seclusion in the Yunmeng Marshes, this did not mean he stayed inside the Yunmeng Marshes all the time. Sometimes, he would go out to walk in the land of Chu. Among them, he would not hesitate to guide some young people he found pleasing to the eye.

Han Xin was a young man he had once guided.

This person was intelligent and had a talent for military strategy, so he had taught Han Xin for a long time.
