Chapter 548: Han Xin must join the Yin-Yang School!

~8 min read 1,404 words

In the vast Yunmengze.

Donghuang Taiyi was running 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 for a quarter of an hour, Donghuang Taiyi felt it was very unsafe. After reaching the Grandmaster Realm, one could perceive the aura of others and then grasp this thread of aura, which is called "locking the soul from a thousand miles away." Su Xuan's strength far exceeded that of a Grandmaster; if he did not run fast enough, he could still be found by the other party.

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

Until the quarter of an hour had passed, he still 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 a mask, lay panting on the ground.

Donghuang Taiyi had never been as exhausted as he was at this moment, and at the same time, he had never felt as relaxed as he was at this moment.

He did not believe that even after he had fled here, Su Xuan could still catch up to him.

This meant that 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 lost to Su Xuan, which could only mean that the Huang Shi Heavenly Book was not powerful enough.

He needed more power.

And as it happened, Donghuang Taiyi also knew of a place that could give him more powerful strength.

Shushan!

Shushan refers to the mountains in the Shu region, and also refers to a heritage hidden within the Bashu land.

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 merged 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 and practiced the Dao of witchcraft and poison.

When 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 techniques themselves had shadows of the Shushan lineage hidden within them.

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

If he could obtain the entire heritage of the Shushan clan and integrate it with the existing cultivation techniques of the Yin-Yang School, combined with the principles realized from the Huang Shi Heavenly Book, and combine the strengths of the three lineages, perhaps he could take the opportunity to walk a new path and then break through to a realm above the Heaven-Man.

For the people of the current world, the Heaven-Man is already the limit.

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

Donghuang Taiyi realized the Huang Shi Heavenly Book and also confirmed the existence of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, and he became more and more firm in this matter.

In Yunmengze.

After Su Xuan defeated Donghuang Taiyi and Yanfei killed Xinghun, they did not leave here.

Instead, they temporarily lived in Yunmengze.

Fortunately, Chu Chu Nangong had two houses here. One was originally there, and the other was built by Donghuang Taiyi and Xinghun. Now that Xinghun and Donghuang Taiyi were dead and fled, this room became vacant. Su Xuan and the other two living here could not be considered as "the dove occupying the magpie's nest."

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

Fortunately, Su Xuan and Yanfei were not strangers.

Time passed like this for a few days.

Su Xuan still had not opened the Huang Shi Heavenly Book. He had no intention of realizing it here. Regarding the Huang Shi Heavenly Book, he was prepared to wait until he returned before realizing it. This Heavenly Book was clearly an extraordinary object.

If he really realized 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 realized and give up seclusion just like that 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 Chu Nangong 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 Chu Nangong and asked calmly.

"Isn't it?"

Chu Chu Nangong raised his eyebrows.

If Su Xuan and Yanfei rested here for a day, it would be fine; it could be understood that they came from far away, and after completing that battle with Donghuang Taiyi, they were prepared to rest for a while. Normally, resting for a day or two would be enough.

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

Chu Chu Nangong inevitably understood that Su Xuan and Yanfei wanted to put pressure on him to force him to return to the Yin-Yang School.

It was not that Chu Chu Nangong was bragging; although he was not Su Xuan's or Donghuang Taiyi's opponent, he was still an expert at the peak of the Heaven-Man level. There were not many such experts in the world.

Su Xuan's idea of inviting him back to the Yin-Yang School was also 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 to the Yin-Yang School. Regarding this matter, I do not force it. This time, Yanfei and I are staying here because there are still some things that need to be handled, so we have been delayed for a few more days. I did not expect to cause a misunderstanding for Nan Gong."

Chu Chu Nangong listened to Su Xuan's slow narration. Through these few days of contact, he also discovered another difference between Su Xuan and Donghuang Taiyi.

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

"Is that so?"

Chu Chu Nangong's raised eyebrows relaxed again.

He could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But immediately after, Su Xuan's next sentence made his heart jump again, and he gave birth to vigilance once more.

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

After Chu Chu Nangong heard Su Xuan's words, he was silent for a while and said, "I do not know where Lord 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 Chu Nangong and said another sentence, "I can not care about other people, but Han Xin must join the Yin-Yang School!"

Chu Chu Nangong's heart shook.

He did not expect that Su Xuan actually knew this person.

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

Han Xin was exactly a young man he had once guided.

This person was naturally intelligent and had quite a talent in the art of war, so he had taught Han Xin for a long time.
