This is your residence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard's words brought Han Zhan back from his daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this expansive land of at least ten acres, akin to a small estate, was the \"big villa\" Gongyang Jin mentioned?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure this is the place?\" Han Zhan asked again, seeking confirmation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Lord Geng Jiu, this is it. Every core member holds a very noble status within the Anti-Xia Alliance, enjoying privileges and treatment second only to the Alliance Leader.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the guard's explanation, Han Zhan calmed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had somewhat underestimated the status of core members in the Anti-Xia Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan nodded and walked in with Nuannuan, while the guard stayed behind to keep watch on the perimeter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It really feels... like a dream...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nuannuan said hesitantly, for she was but a pitiful soul hiding to survive, living on the lowest rung of Fulong City until today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After meeting Han Zhan, it seemed her fate had undergone a tremendous change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan glanced at this starry-eyed little girl but said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he brought Nuannuan was that it was almost evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After evening, if the black shadow reappeared, Han Zhan could take action immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another reason was that Han Zhan wanted to understand why only Nuannuan and he could see and touch the shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grand villa prepared by the Anti-Xia Alliance was fully equipped with every necessity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place felt more like a private holiday estate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside the well-decorated villa was a personal training ground, which made Han Zhan even more satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come with me,\" Han Zhan said, turning his face to Nuannuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Han Zhan suddenly speak, the little girl, like a startled rabbit, thought of something, and her face instantly turned red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So... so soon...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not ready yet...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Nuannuan's words, Han Zhan frowned slightly, as if displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ready? What's there to prepare for? Come to the training ground with me now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, ah?\" Nuannuan's face turned even redder, almost dripping with embarrassment, \"Isn't it an open-air setting? Isn't it better to go to the bedroom... the bedroom...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of her words, Nuannuan's voice was laced with a pleading tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan: \"?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you talking about? Why are you blushing? Blushing like a teapot?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's almost evening; the shadow could appear at any time. We need the training ground; it's spacious there for action. To the bedroom? Are you going to sleep with those shadows?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan said, sounding surprised and strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nuannuan froze for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the day's experiences were too surreal, staying by Han Zhan's side gave her such a sense of security that she had forgotten about the shadow's night assaults!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her impression of Han Zhan in her mind transformed from a handsome rogue to a powerful and handsome elder brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought it would be about repaying the life-saving debt, and in an open setting like the training ground, isn't that how novels describe it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Nuannuan covered her face and rushed toward the personal training ground without looking back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving Han Zhan behind, scratching the back of his head in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The personal arena was quite spacious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the day's battle, Han Zhan simply ate something, quietly waiting for nightfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl Nuannuan, after Han Zhan's reminder, once again remembered the fear of being chased by the bizarre shadow, and began to feel anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't long before Fulong City's sky darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nuannuan was about to bring a plate of fragrant roasted potatoes to Han Zhan when her pupils suddenly dilated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be careful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Nuannuan having to say it, Han Zhan already felt the chill from behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without thinking, he drew the Moonlight Longsword and slashed behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, unlike before, the collision brought the sound of clashing metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sparks illuminated behind him, revealing the bizarre shadow holding a pitch-black longsword, indeed arriving as expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stronger?\" Han Zhan raised an eyebrow, scrutinizing the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seemingly casual backhand slash just now was actually executed with Tier Six full power, yet the opponent blocked it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In our previous encounter outside the Anti-Xia Alliance, those fifteen shadows were only as strong as newly awakened Tier One Awakened, perhaps even less.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today, there's only one shadow in the arena, but its strength has reached Tier Six Peak?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan's perception of spiritual power fluctuations wouldn't be wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze fell on the longsword in the black shadow's hand before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Using a sword? If I remember correctly, none of the previous shadows used swords.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the shadow changing because I intervened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan was still pondering, while the shadow launched its attack again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The longsword in its hand transformed into a dark streak, slicing through the night at an almost imperceptible speed, striking from a tricky angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan's heart tensed, seeing its sword technique and strikes, it seemed like a master!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With heightened vigilance, Han Zhan charged forward with the Moonlight Longsword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang, clang, clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intense sound of sword clashes rang out once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a series of exchanges, Han Zhan and the bizarre shadow separated temporarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan had at least seven or eight new wounds on his body, making Nuannuan instinctively shout in concern, \"Big brother!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Nuannuan noticed a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Big brother Han Zhan was clearly outmatched in the sword skill contest, falling behind the shadow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm fine.\" Han Zhan set down the Moonlight Longsword, the pitch-black sword of the opponent causing a lingering pain after cutting through him, making him wince slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his sword skill was inferior to the strange shadow, he had other tricks up his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heaven's Origin, Condense!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising his left hand, Han Zhan formed a Finger Technique, aimed at the shadow, and whispered softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Moonlight Sword Energy that had dissipated in the clash suddenly reformed, puncturing the shadow into a hedgehog in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a new use of the Nuwa Stone of Heavenly Origin, which Han Zhan had comprehended from the Mechanical Sect's Virtual-Real Technology inside the Mechanical Sect Mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scattered sword energy didn't completely disappear into the ether but broke down into the smallest particles, and the purpose of Heaven's Origin was to reconcentrate them, causing a second attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Catching the shadow off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadow, riddled like a hedgehog, soon shrank and fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the trembling voice of the little girl Nuannuan suddenly sounded again in Han Zhan's ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big... brother... it's, it's not dead!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1108,"2026-06-10T05:31:13.179Z",1,"novelbin.me","a553f208c226a90e095ccda281d2bac84344cab2fb4a7de1a46a2565ba64e75e","i-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-chapter-257","i-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-chapter-255",617,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-cover.jpg"]
