Chapter 382: Quid pro quo
Under this quiet waiting, time is also passing quietly, unconsciously, the time of a stick of incense has passed, but in the sect station of the Great Sui Sect, there is no sign of fighting as everyone imagined, not even a little momentum is dissipated, everything seems calm. Ethereal.2.
Looking at the Great Sui Sect in front of him, which was still calm, Xiao Han's brows furrowed slightly, this scene seemed to be a little different from what he thought in his heart.
Everyone continued to wait here, and soon, an hour passed, and the two Xuanzun of the Great Qin Empire finally came out of the Great Sui Sect.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Han showed a look of disappointment in his eyes, but it was only a flash, the plan of the two Xuanzun of the Great Qin Empire to solve this matter was very different from what he thought in his heart, and in his heart, he never wanted this matter to be settled so easily, after all, he was hit hard by the Xuanzun of the Great Sui Sect, if it weren't for the identity of the protector of the Great Qin Empire that made the Xuanzun of the Great Sui Sect jealous, I am afraid that it would be difficult for him to leave the Great Sui Sect that day.
Because the Xuanzun of the Great Sui Sect had already become greedy for the origin power of the Twin Star Immortal Projection.
The two Xuanzun of the Great Qin Empire came to everyone, and their faces were not very good-looking, with a little gloomy, especially Ying Ji, who had a little cold flickering in his deep eyes.
The thirteen Xuanzong and Xiao Han of the Great Qin Empire observed their words and looks, and when they saw the two Xuanzun of the Great Qin Empire showing such a look, everyone's hearts sank slightly, and the expressions on their faces became serious in an instant, and they all realized in their hearts that the outcome of the matter was probably not good.
"Two seniors, what is the outcome of the matter?" Xiao Han couldn't help but ask, among the people present, only he had the highest status, and it was only suitable for him to ask questions in this situation.
Ying Ji said: "Xiao Han, the grievances between you and the Great Sui Sect will end here!"
Hearing this, Xiao Han's face changed suddenly, he pondered for a while, and asked, "Two seniors, is the strength of the Great Sui Sect very strong? ”
Ying Ji shook his head and said, "It's not, the Great Sui Sect is not to worry, there is another hidden situation here, Xiao Han, the two of us want to rush back to the Great Qin Empire immediately, so we will go first." ”
"Congratulations to the two seniors!" Xiao Han arched.
"Congratulations to the Protector of the Country!" The thirteen powerhouses of the Great Qin Empire also bowed and saluted.
Ying Ji glanced at the thirteen strong men and said, "You will assist Xiao Han to protect the country and handle the affairs here, and then those who should come back will come back!" After dropping these words, Ying Ji and Shen Wansan immediately left here, both of them were very fast, and they disappeared at the end of the sky in an instant, leaving in a very hurry.
Looking at the distant figures of the two Xuanzun, Xiao Han and the thirteen powerhouses of the Great Qin Empire did not look very good, from the demeanor of the two Xuanzun, they all realized that there was probably something big about it recently, and it was related to the Great Qin Empire.
"Let's go back!" Xiao Han greeted everyone, then turned around and left.
"A few people, please stay!" Suddenly, a voice came from behind, and I saw Yang Jian, the sect leader of the Great Sui Sect, flying up, and finally standing in front of Xiao Han.
Seeing that the person who came was Yang Jian, the sect leader of the Great Sui Sect, Xiao Han's face immediately sank, and he said coldly: "Sect Master Yang Jian, I don't know what else you have to do." "If it weren't for a Xuanzun hiding in the Great Sui Sect, Xiao Han would have been eager to seriously injure Yang Jian again.
Yang Jian smiled freely, seemed to have completely forgotten the unhappiness of his life a few days ago, and arched his hand: "Protector of the country, our old sect master invites you to sit in my Great Sui Sect for a while." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Han's face changed, and the faces of the thirteen powerhouses of the Great Qin Empire also became a little cold in an instant.
Feeling the hostility from everyone, Yang Jian smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to worry, our old sect master just wants to chat with the Protector of the Nation and increase the feelings between each other, and will not do anything unfavorable to the Protector of the Nation, after all, our Great Sui Sect does not want to be an enemy of your Great Qin Empire." ”
The faces of the thirteen powerhouses of the Great Qin Empire suddenly softened, and they looked at Xiao Han one by one, if it was someone else, they would have refused for Xiao Han a long time ago, but the other party invited this time was a Xuanzun.
Xiao Han hesitated, although he didn't know how the old sect master of the Great Sui Sect used to make the two Xuanzun of the Great Qin Empire no longer pursue the last incident, but the words that Ying Ji said when he left made Xiao Han feel a lot more relieved - the Great Sui Sect was not worried.
Thinking of this, Xiao Han was also a lot relieved, and simply agreed to Yang Jian's agreement, and said: "If you don't go, I still think that I, Xiao Han, am afraid of your Great Sui Sect, but since the old sect master of your Great Sui Sect wants to talk to me, then let me see what he wants to talk to me about!"
Xiao Han turned his head to look at the thirteen powerhouses of the Great Qin Empire and said, "You guys wait here for a while! As soon as the words fell, Xiao Han no longer hesitated, and flew directly towards the sect station of the Great Sui Sect.
Xiao Han, under the leadership of Yang Jian, came to the back mountain of the Great Sui Sect, and finally stopped in front of a cave.
"Protector of the country, the old sect master is inside, forgive me for not being able to go in with you. Yang Jian stood in front of the cave and said to Xiao Han.
Xiao Han didn't speak, walked into the cave alone, walked a hundred meters in the passage, and finally came to a very empty space, the space was very bright, and countless fist-sized night pearls were embedded on the roof of the cave, providing light for this cave.
The furnishings in the cave are very simple, only a stone table of ordinary material in the center, it can be seen from the thick layer of dust accumulated on it that this cave has not been cleaned for a long time, not only the tabletop, but even the ground is no exception, and even Xiao Han can leave a clear footprint on the ground every time he takes a step.
Xiao Han glanced around, and now there was no one in this cave, just when he felt a doubt, a sound came out from the side, only to see a stone door being opened, and an old man in a black suit appeared in Xiao Han's eyes.
The old man has a childish face, but his body is very burly, with a bear's waist and a leopard's back, standing there as if he is a shield, two meters tall, and even a head taller than Xiao Han.
Looking at this old man, Xiao Han's eyes flashed, and a trace of imperceptible fierceness flashed in the depths of his eyes, without thinking about it, he also guessed in his heart that this old man must be the Xuanzun of the Great Sui Sect.
Xiao Han stood there and quietly looked at the Xuanzun of the Great Sui Sect, did not speak, nor saluted, Xiao Han did not have the slightest good impression of this Xuanzun in his heart, the scene of this Xuanzun who injured himself a few days ago still made him remember it vividly.
The old man didn't care about Xiao Han's rude behavior, his bland eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the void, and he seemed to be able to see Xiao Han's secret clearly, and said with a light smile: "No wonder you can serve as the protector of the Great Qin Empire with the strength of Xuanzong, your talent is really extraordinary, and you can reach the realm of Xuanzong at such a young age." ”
Xuanzun of the Great Sui Sect paused, and seeing that Xiao Han didn't speak, he continued: "There is a hurdle of life and death from the breakthrough of Xuanwang to Xuanhuang, and this hurdle is also the only dangerous bump in the cultivator's life, and from Xuanhuang to Xuanzong, you only need to control the vitality of heaven and earth, this step, although it isolates the vast majority of people who have reached the peak of Xuanhuang, so that they will stop here for life, but as long as there are some opportunities, they can break through this obstacle and step into the realm of Xuanzong." ”
"As for breaking through from Xuanzong to the supreme realm of Xuanzun, it is much more difficult than the previous two bottlenecks, because if you want to become a strong person in the Xuanzun rank, you must comprehend the mystery of heaven and earth, and this mystery of heaven and earth is not so easy to comprehend as the vitality of heaven and earth, and it is far from enough to have cultivation talent. In the cultivation realm, there are countless talented people, and it is not impossible for people to break through to Xuanzong under the age of fifty, but among these people, there are only a handful of people who can really break through to the realm of Xuanzun, and among them are either isolated in the realm of Xuanzong by the mysteries of heaven and earth all their lives, or they fell halfway. ”
Hearing these words, Xiao Han frowned slightly, and said expressionlessly: "Senior, you asked me to come here, don't you just want to talk to me about this?"
Great Sui Sect Xuanzun smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, you listen to me first." Xiao Han, I know that you are the first place in this year's 'Adventure Heroes Club', and you have entered the 'Cave Heaven' cultivation. Although it is said in the cultivation realm that anyone who has entered the 'Cave Heaven' cultivation has a high probability of breaking through to the realm of Xuanzun in the future, but this is only a possibility, think about how many years the City of Adventurers has existed in the cultivation realm, the 'Adventure Heroes Association' will spawn a person who enters the 'Cave Heaven' cultivation every fifty years, so many years have passed, there are countless people who have entered the 'Cave Heaven' cultivation, but how many people can really break through to the Xuanzun realm in the end!"
Xuanzun of the Great Sui Sect looked at Xiao Han's face and continued: "Xiao Han, I have a painting scroll, which I appeared in a Xuanzun cave hundreds of years ago, which recorded the perception of breaking through from Xuanzong to the Xuanzun realm, back then, I successfully broke through to the Xuanzun realm with this painting scroll, although this painting scroll is of little use to Xuanzun, but it is a priceless treasure for Xuanzong, because it records a shortcut to the road to Xuanzun. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Han had already roughly guessed what the Great Sui Sect Xuanzun was thinking about in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a sneer, and said, "Senior, you said so much, it's just that you want to exchange this scroll for what you want from me, right!"
"That's good!" Xuanzun of the Great Sui Sect didn't beat around the bush anymore, and directly stated his purpose: "Xiao Han, the old man can give you this scroll for free, but the condition is that the old man wants to know the secret of your mysterious power, including the secret of how to obtain and cultivate this power." ”
Xiao Han shook his head without hesitation and sneered: "I'm sorry, senior, please forgive me for not being able to agree!"
The Great Sui Sect Xuanzun was not angry, this result was already expected by him, and patiently persuaded: "Xiao Han, you should think about it! Although you have mastered this power and can make you the first person under Xuanzun, but in the face of the strong people of the Xuanzun rank, you are as weak as an ant after all, and you will not lose by exchanging the secret of this power for a shortcut to the Xuanzun realm." ”
"Don't think about it, senior, if you don't have anything else, then I'll leave first. Xiao Han arched his hand, and already had the intention of leaving.
"Xiao Han, if you are not satisfied with this quid pro quo, I can add some other things. "The Great Sui Sect Xuanzun still doesn't give up, and it seems that he really wants to know the secret of that power.
Xiao Han's heart sank slightly, the Xuanzun of the Great Sui Sect cared so much about the origin power of the Twin Star Immortal Artifact projection, this was not a good thing, although he was a little worried in his heart, Xiao Han still did not let go, and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint my seniors, because no matter how valuable things I exchange, I won't reveal the slightest secret, seniors, you still have to die of this heart!" After dropping these words, Xiao Han turned around and left here, although the other party was a Xuanzun, he didn't have the slightest fear in his heart.
After Xiao Han left, the gentle face of the Great Sui Sect Xuanzun also became a little cold in an instant, looking at the entrance of the cave where Xiao Han disappeared, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he sneered: "Toast and don't eat and drink!" With these words, the air in the entire cave became frozen in an instant, and at this moment, time seemed to stop passing.
After leaving the Great Sui Sect, Xiao Han's mood also became heavy, the origin power of the Twin Star Immortal Artifact Projection was actually remembered by the Xuanzun of the Great Sui Sect, which was definitely a potential threat to him, although he had the support of the Great Qin Empire behind him, the Great Sui Sect did not dare to deal with himself blatantly, but he was afraid that they would secretly make a move.
After Xiao Han and Chennan's group reunited, everyone also saw the change in Xiao Han's expression, and immediately someone asked with concern: "Protector of the country, Xuanzun of the Great Sui Sect didn't do anything to you, right?"
"He was greedy for the power in me. Xiao Han said with a solemn face.
Hearing this, the faces of more than a dozen powerhouses in the Great Qin Empire changed, and they were worried about a Xuanzun, which was not a good thing, and they all guessed the possibilities that would arise in the future.
"Protector of the country, just go directly to the Great Qin Empire! In the Great Qin Empire, the Xuanzun of the Great Sui Sect will never dare to do anything to you. Zuo Ci proposed.
"Not yet, I still have a lot of things to do here, okay, let's not discuss this for now, let's get out of here first! Xiao Han said.
A day later, several people returned to the palace of the Jinpeng Empire again, and as soon as they landed from the sky, a soldier wearing silver-white armor immediately ran over from a distance, knelt down on one knee in front of Xiao Han, and said, "Tell the Lord Protector of the Country, the treasury has been cut, and all the materials have been packed in this storage ring." ”
