Chapter 577

Thousands of miles apart, can take a life.

These words fell into Ying Zheng's ears, obviously causing another shock to Ying Zheng.

One must know that for people in the Jianghu, being able to take someone's life from dozens of meters away was already an extremely remarkable thing.

And because such things were difficult to achieve, the Hundred-Step Flying Sword of the Guigu school became famous in the Jianghu.

The Hundred-Step Flying Sword, controlling the sword within a hundred steps; within a hundred steps, one sword takes a life.

This was an extremely exquisite sword technique.

Long before Gai Nie finished his apprenticeship, the successive descendants of Guigu had already made this sword technique famous in the Jianghu.

But even the Hundred-Step Flying Sword only took lives within a hundred steps.

Su Xuan was very strong.

Ying Zheng had always known this, and even more so, he knew that even if thousands or ten thousand people formed an array, Su Xuan could easily slaughter them all. But this was a head-on battle.

With Su Xuan's strength, if he said he could take lives from several miles or dozens of miles away, Ying Zheng wouldn't be too surprised.

He never expected that Su Xuan would say he could take Zhao Gao's life from thousands of miles away.

Perhaps these words were too arrogant and too shocking.

Ying Zheng was silent for a long time, and his heart was also agitated for a long time, before he came back to his senses and asked Su Xuan: "Is what the State Preceptor said true? Can the State Preceptor really kill Zhao Gao from thousands of miles away?"

Su Xuan smiled faintly and did not directly respond to this question.

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, realizing that his words were a bit abrupt, appearing too impatient and not steady at all.

Given the strength Su Xuan had shown in the past, this didn't seem to be something that needed to be shocked about.

After all, even Chi You, who was suspected of having attained immortality in the ancient years, died at the hands of the State Preceptor. One must know that he was a figure suspected of being an immortal. Besides that, the State Preceptor also found the legendary immortal mountain and brought back the things left behind by the ancient Xuanyuan Huang Di.

It was just a Zhao Gao. Since the State Preceptor said he could kill him, then he could definitely kill him.

Ying Zheng's thoughts flickered, and he said to Su Xuan: "I will wait for the State Preceptor's good news!"

……

Returning to the State Preceptor's mansion.

After all, it was a mansion built by Ying Zheng at a huge cost for himself. Su Xuan would occasionally come here to stay. Whenever he stayed here, Hong Hong Lian would hear the news and come to reminisce with him.

Of course, that was in the past.

After Su Xuan returned from the sea on the Mirage, Hong Hong Lian changed her way and moved directly into Su Xuan's State Preceptor mansion.

Rather than staying in Xianyang, not knowing when Su Xuan would come to Xianyang.

It was better to just live here. Anyway, as long as Su Xuan came to Xianyang from the headquarters of the Yin-Yang School, he would always come to this State Preceptor mansion.

"You're back!"

When Su Xuan came here, Hong Hong Lian was wearing light-colored clothes, her tone gentle.

Su Xuan nodded.

"You came back just in time. I just made a few dishes. Come and taste them!" Hong Hong Lian said to Su Xuan, full of confidence.

Su Xuan heard this, and his eyebrows raised slightly.

He didn't know who Hong Hong Lian had listened to, or if the saying "to capture a man, you must first capture his stomach" had already spread in this era.

When Su Xuan returned from the sea and saw Hong Hong Lian again, she suddenly had a special fondness for cooking.

This clearly didn't fit Hong Hong Lian's style!

One must know that the Chi Hong Lian in the original work was a person proficient in poison and ruthless.

Even if the current Hong Hong Lian hadn't joined Quicksand and hadn't followed the Regarding Baiyue assassin group to practice poison and martial arts, she was still a princess of a former dynasty. The style of a cook completely didn't suit her status.

If she really had talent, that would be fine, but the dishes Hong Hong Lian made had a taste that was hard to describe.

A person who is bad at something but doesn't know it—that describes Hong Hong Lian!

Although that was the case, it was the other party's good intention after all. Su Xuan had known Hong Hong Lian's heart for a long time, and he didn't directly say that the other party's dishes were problematic, but followed Hong Hong Lian's words and ate a few bites. Of course, after eating, he still gave Hong Hong Lian a slight comment.

He didn't directly say that the dishes Hong Hong Lian made could be used as poison to poison people.

He only said that the taste was a bit better than before and there was progress.

"Really?"

Hong Hong Lian was indeed a bit skeptical when she heard Su Xuan's words.

Well, it couldn't be said that she didn't know her level at all. It was precisely because she knew her level that she was a bit skeptical of Su Xuan's words.

"Really."

Su Xuan nodded.

Without waiting for Hong Hong Lian to continue asking, he said: "You continue to study it yourself. I have some things to do and need to go into seclusion for a few days."

This time, there really was something to do.

After all, he had said in front of Ying Zheng that he could kill Zhao Gao from thousands of miles away. Now, Ying Zheng was waiting for his good news in the Zhangtai Palace.

After saying this, Su Xuan left here and went to the secret room for seclusion.

Hong Hong Lian looked at Su Xuan who was going into seclusion, and a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes. Then, she looked at the brightly colored dishes on the table, thought for a while, picked up her chopsticks, picked up some, and took a bite.

After this bite, she felt that all kinds of tastes were lingering in her mouth.

She wanted to vomit, but couldn't!

……

For Su Xuan, wanting to find Zhao Gao was not a difficult thing.

Back then, when he was in Xianyang, he had many contacts with Zhao Gao. Under multiple contacts, in order to prevent Zhao Gao from plotting any 440 conspiracies, he naturally left some traces on the other party.

Although Zhao Gao was a eunuch, he also had some strength. Placed in the Jianghu, he was also a master-level expert.

Unfortunately, the person he was facing was Su Xuan.

A Grandmaster expert had the ability to lock souls from thousands of miles away and could lock onto another's aura. If Su Xuan were a Grandmaster and left traces on Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao might have noticed, but Su Xuan was not a Grandmaster, but an expert even more powerful than the Heaven-Human level.

Even when he left the mark on Zhao Gao, Su Xuan had just achieved the Yang Spirit and had not yet combined Yin and Yang to achieve the Yang Spirit. But the mark left by Su Xuan's Yang Spirit strength on Zhao Gao was not something Zhao Gao could detect. At the same time, such traces, as long as no accidents occurred, would exist even if Zhao Gao died of old age normally.

After closing the door of the secret room, Su Xuan closed his eyes.

The next moment, an illusory figure flew out from his body; it was his Primordial Spirit.

Su Xuan's current Primordial Spirit was much stronger than the one he had just achieved after returning from Many Loulan and going into seclusion. This was all thanks to the life essence from Many Loulan.

The next moment, Su Xuan's Primordial Spirit flew out of the secret room, using the art of divine travel to wander the world and head toward the Mobei direction.
