Chapter 281: Penance

Leaning against the big tree, Han Xiao slowly closed his eyes, still slowly trying to breathe his body, closing his eyes and hazy Han Xiao's thoughts began to drift to more than ten years ago, thirteen years ago to be exact.

That year, he was a blockbuster.

After the Five Elements Beast was eliminated, the war in the imperial capital was finally over, although the Huating Emperor was seriously injured, at least he was still alive, with such a blindly super strong person in charge, the Huating Empire did not necessarily have no chance. At that time, there were indeed no accidents, after seeing that the Five Elements Beast and Fu Ling were both dead in the waters of Tianxin Island, the guys who were originally watching finally stood up to show their loyalty, and even two powerhouses of the Transformation God Realm came forward to take a stand for their family.

In such an incomparably harmonious situation, everything in the imperial capital seems to be beginning to develop in the most harmonious direction. Although Han Xiao caused a big mess in the waters of Tianxin Island, in the final analysis, more of the people he killed were related to the Fu family and the Chi family, so in this case, Han Xiao would naturally not be blamed, at most, there was no reward. Of course, Han Xiao didn't have any desire for a reward, he just strongly requested a state funeral for Pang Ying.

In the end, to the surprise of almost everyone, Emperor Huating personally nodded and agreed to Pang Ying's state funeral, and then on a sunny morning, Han Xiao personally held Pang Ying's Yin Zhu and buried it in a tomb that had been dug in advance on the Holy Mountain. On that day, the Pang family, who had been defeated in the field of imperial power, all had perseverance on their faces, and their eyes flashed with excitement.

After the endless glory, Han Xiao began to act more frantically, that is, in the waters of the imperial capital, he began to frantically deal with those clansmen and generals who had not had time to escape from the Fu family and the Chi family, but had already hidden, in fact, the reason why those people did not leave was because the identities of those people were more or less special, and they were basically implicated in the interests of more than one family, so that in that case there was still someone to protect them, and it was in that situation that Han Xiao killed hundreds of people, and as a result, almost the entire imperial capital nobles were angry, and Han Xiao was injured one after another in a great battle that was carefully laid out in danger, and finally left the imperial capital waters with serious injuries。

And less than three days after Han Xiao defeated the imperial capital, many wealthy families in the imperial capital suddenly rebelled, and the Fu family and the Chi family, who transferred the elite clansmen out early, also killed a horse pistol, and the most important thing is that they introduced a large number of Western pirates and Western Tongxuan realm powerhouses into the imperial capital, and as a result, the battle was almost unsuspenseful. As for the other royal powerhouses, almost all of them died in the imperial capital, which is indeed miserable.

The purpose of the Western pirates was clear, they made it clear that they wanted to make an example of the monkeys, and it was obviously the best thing to do to slaughter the entire royal family. And just after the Western pirates did this, the families in the imperial capital who were not very loyal to the royal family soon took refuge in the Western camp. Of course, there is no shortage of real hot-blooded people in the imperial capital, and even the entire family is very stubborn, those monks who are trying to keep the glory of Huating and Western monks have another bloody battle in the imperial capital, this battle has been fought for a longer time, but it is also much bloodier.

In the end, all the rebels were slaughtered, and they were basically exterminated. During this period, some monks and loose cultivators of the big families who knew that they couldn't fight but didn't want to resist, let alone surrender, also fled from the Huating Empire in a hurry while the chaos in the imperial capital continued, and finally after the Western pirates completely occupied the imperial capital and began to spread the offensive to the interior of the entire Huating Empire, those families who fled also began to migrate again, and over time, the entire Huating Empire and the sea around the empire became the current situation.

Speaking of the battle in the imperial capital, Han Xiao's own injuries after escaping from the imperial capital were actually not very serious, but he encountered an extremely thorny, even fatal, problem.

The sinister aura erupted again.

Han Xiao also knew that it was completely unnecessary for him to make such a big mess in the imperial capital at that time, if those Fu family members and Chi family really deserved to die, naturally someone would take them in, and if they didn't die, it would inevitably mean that their crimes were not to death. But Han Xiao forcibly made a move, which naturally provoked the anger of the public.

After the outbreak of the evil qi, Han Xiao could no longer suppress it, so he resisted and ran away at the same time, and finally survived, but he also found that the yin evil qi was completely mixed into his body, and this time he had no way to seal it. The yin qi has become the same existence as the demonic power, how can this be sealed, if it is sealed, even his own cultivation is also sealed.

The fortunate thing in the misfortune is that after the yin qi was completely mixed with the demonic power, although it was incompatible, it did not let Han Xiao's body have too many active influences. Of course, this kind of peace and quiet is limited to this. To put it bluntly, as long as Han Xiao doesn't go out to provoke anyone, he is a good ordinary person, and even cultivates according to his own method step by step, as long as he doesn't fight violently and mobilizes a lot of demonic power in his body, those evil qi will be well hidden in the flesh and blood.

Once you use it violently, the yin qi will begin to eat back. The backlash of the yin and evil qi is very terrifying, he will directly destroy Han Xiao's flesh and blood, making Han Xiao's body become lifeless, and then a very strange toxin will be automatically produced, Han Xiao can't figure out what the toxin is made of, and he doesn't know how to suppress it, the only way is to quickly settle down after the toxin appears, and then vomit out the vomiting blood, so that the body can only recover a little, and then you need to slowly seal the yin evil qi and demon power together, and then gradually unseal it after a period of time。

This is Han Xiao's biggest problem.

Han Xiao is not the kind of person who is boring, after escaping from the imperial capital, he actually has no regrets, in fact, the battle in the imperial capital can also be said to be his own battle of faith, but for him, that battle has been won, naturally there is no regret. After leaving, his biggest goal was of course to continue to improve his strength, and even pinned his hopes on cultivating the Xuan Soul and advancing to the true Xuan Realm, but unfortunately all of this was completely ruined because of the Yin and Evil Qi.

In the past thirteen years, the reason why he wanted to mix in the inconspicuous Scythe Pirate Regiment was because he still needed to grasp some information from the outside world, and secondly, it was indeed to repay the favor, when he fled to the South China Sea, he coincidentally encountered a powerful Void Beast, although he won the battle, but the outbreak of the evil spirit also put him in a very dangerous situation in the open sea, at that time it was the first leader of the Sickle Pirate Regiment who saved him, and then Han Xiao stayed there naturally。

The grace of saving lives is naturally the greatest favor, and Han Xiao secretly vowed to ensure the inheritance of the Scythe Pirate Group within his ability, and the entanglement with this pirate group is also like this.

However, in the past thirteen years, Han Xiao has not done nothing at all, the open sea is the open sea after all, and in the eight thousand miles of sea area that has been explored in the Black Cliff Sea, there are actually many powerful krakens and even void beasts lurking, Han Xiao is a lazy lookout who has nothing to do in front of people on weekdays, whenever he feels that his state has been adjusted, and when he goes out to sea more or less to find out the news of a powerful kraken, he will take the opportunity to walk freely and go out to hunt a powerful kraken。

The process of hunting will inevitably cause the outbreak of the Yin and Evil Qi, what Han Xiao has to do is to maintain the last calm as much as possible when the Yin Qi erupts, so as not to let his mind be lost, and at the same time, he also needs to try to kill the Kraken before the Yin Qi completely erupts, and finally he also needs to find a place to detoxify and seal himself in a shorter period of time, so as to ensure that he will not be killed by small fish and shrimp after fighting a strong enemy.

In the past thirteen years, Han Xiao has spent this kind of life, working as a lookout day after day, and then when he finds an opportunity, he will kill the powerful Kraken, of course, not to find excitement, but to kill the Kraken or the Void Beast and devour the bones. After thirteen years of accumulation, Han Xiao himself couldn't remember how many bones he had devoured, so that his terrible talent had already cultivated to the fivefold cultivation of the Yuan Spirit Realm, and even in fact, he couldn't define whether it was the fifth level of the Yuan Spirit Realm, Han Xiao only felt that the demon power in his body was dozens of times stronger than thirteen years ago.

Han Xiao is absolutely confident, if he returns to the imperial capital now to repeat the water battle on Tianxin Island thirteen years ago, he will definitely not be as embarrassed as he was back then. Of course, what makes Han Xiao even more puzzled now is that with the accumulation of demonic power in his body, it should definitely not be limited to the Yuan Spirit Realm, but the result is that he cannot be stored in the Yuan Spirit Realm, but this is not a bottleneck. If he followed the ordinary cultivation method, of course Han Xiao would not be able to improve his cultivation, but as long as he devoured the bones, his demonic power would definitely increase.

Han Xiao didn't pay too much attention to the weirdness of his cultivation state, after all, there were too many abnormalities in his body, and if he really wanted to find the reason, he couldn't find it at all. In the past ten years, he has been trying to suppress the power of yin and evil at most, and the direction of his research is naturally the divine text, after all, what Han Xiao is best at is also the divine text, but even if he has mastered many of the divine scripts that have emerged on his body, there is still no way to completely suppress or even eliminate the yin evil qi.

In fact, over the years, he has continued to hunt the Kraken and the Void Beast in a way that can almost be said to torture himself, not only to get the bones, but also partly because he deliberately wanted to talk about the Yin Evil Qi, when the Yin Evil Qi erupted, black lines would appear on his skin, and those black lines were the Divine Script, for Han Xiao, when the Yin Evil Qi broke out, it was the best time for him to observe the new Divine Script. I believe that in today's cultivation world, there are really almost no Heavenly Mandate Masters who can give Han Xiao the opportunity to come into contact with so many divine texts.

Han Xiao leaned on the big tree and slept for a long time, his drowsiness was actually due to the yin qi in his body. After years of fighting against the evil spirit, Han Xiao found that his body could be raised. The so-called "nourishment" is to let the flesh and blood of the whole body enter a dormant state, and the best way is the most ordinary method - sleep. It is to sleep for a long time, slow down all your actions, be able to lie down and never sit, be able to sleep and never open your eyes, it is to use such a slow way of survival, so that your flesh and blood always maintain the most relaxed state on weekdays, that is, you are nourishing your body.

The long sleep was interrupted by a noise, Han Xiao woke up from the big tree with sleepy eyes, rubbed his eyes and listened, Han Xiao heard the sound of a fierce quarrel outside the woods, and even a faint sound of fighting.

"It's annoying. Han Xiao muttered softly, and finally got up and walked slowly outside.

On the shore of the island, Guo Hongan and the others are now in good spirits, and there is now another group of monks confronting them opposite them, and even some of them can't hold back and start to move, but the bosses on both sides are still very imposing.

And when the two sides were confronting each other, Han Xiao suddenly came out of the woods and made the people on both sides stunned, Guo Hongan and they instantly restrained a little after seeing Han Xiao, and the monks on the other side looked at Han Xiao vigilantly, but after seeing that he was wearing a pair of tattered pants and the aura fluctuating from his body was not very strong, those people took their eyes off him again.

"What's going on?" Han Xiao asked as he walked up to Sun Shun.

"These guys came here in a small boat, and they didn't have any spiritual food supplies, and they wanted to ask us for a little bit, and we wanted them to give up a little space on the boat, so we could go together, and they got into trouble because of that. Sun Shun explained.

"Oh, that's right. Han Xiao nodded and looked at the boat parked next to the shore. The ship was not very large, and it seemed that it could carry fifty or sixty people at most, of course, if it was really on the deck, maybe it would be possible to let them leave together, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but say, "Then let's make do with it, what's so noisy." ”

"Oh, I think so too, but these people don't seem to think so. Sun Shun said with a smile.

"Then what do they mean?" Han Xiao asked.

"Boy, who the hell are you, do you have to talk about this kind of thing?" suddenly shouted the leader of the group of pirates on the other side.

Han Xiao turned his head to look at the other party, but his originally smiling face suddenly became gloomy: "Then did I let you speak?"
