Legend of Heros in Han Dynasty - C49

After all the people had left, Xiao Ya was still surprised, as if she still hadn’t found out about the situation. Blinking her large eyes, she asked, “Why did these people leave just like that?”

Young Master Han chuckled. “They’re all women. They naturally won’t do anything if I treat them to wine. Then, they’ll leave one by one with their tails between their legs!”

Xiao Ya was half believing and half doubting as she glared at Young Master Han. She turned her head to look at Elder Xiao and asked, “Grandfather, is what big brother said true?”

When Elder Xiao heard this, he chuckled and said, “This … “Un, it should be true!”

At this point, Elder Xiao already knew that Young Master Han’s level of cultivation was incredibly high. As a member of the Northern Witchcraft Sect, these Devil Sect women had been rampant in the martial arts world recently. He had no idea what they were up to.

Young Master Han originally only wanted to secretly help the Xiao family’s old master and his son out of their difficult situation before taking his leave. He hadn’t thought that Old Man Xiao would have so much experience in the martial arts world that he had already figured out Young Master Han’s background.

Xiao Ya, on the other hand, was at a loss. She couldn’t help but be surprised when she saw the ferocious looking girl quietly retreating.

Elder Xiao turned around and bowed towards Young Master Han. “So this young brother is the great disciple of Master Scholar Han. This old man has truly made a wrong judgement. If Little Ya is willing to accompany this young brother into the capital, I too will be relieved!”

When Young Master Han saw that Elder Xiao was actually bowing to him, his originally lazy demeanor immediately became solemn. He moved to the side and cupped his hands. “Elder Xiao sure is a bad boy. I don’t actually have anything to do with the wine master!”

In the martial world, the Master Wine Master was a household name, and his senior brother was a popular person in the capital. With just this level of relationship, no sect dared to come out and make things difficult for him.

Elder Xiao had been a bit disappointed when he heard that Young Master Han had no connections with Apothecary Han. He had wanted to investigate his background, but he gave up when he saw that there were hidden difficulties.

“Let’s go to the town and stay for the night. It’s already late!” Young Master Han chuckled and suggested to Elder Xiao.

Elder Xiao had yet to speak when Xiao Ya suddenly jumped up and giggled. “That’s great! This time we must rest well. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a rest!”

As he spoke, he pulled Young Master Han by the hand and led the way. Elder Xiao also sighed and followed behind him. The three of them walked half a kilometer and saw a small temple at the side of the small town.

Elder Xiao said, “This time, I’m afraid that the people from the Voodoo Cult have already been alerted. We’ll stay in this temple for the night and travel tomorrow morning. I have some dry rations to eat, so let’s eat!”

As he spoke, he took off the bag on his back and, without waiting for Young Master Han and Xiao Ya’s response, he dug out some pancakes and divided them between Young Master Han and Xiao Ya.

Young Master Han didn’t hold back either and began to chew the pancake. He poured some wine and swallowed it, giving it a different flavor. The three of them walked up the stone steps and knocked on the door. After a long time, no one came to open the door, so the three of them had no choice but to take a nap while leaning against the eaves.

After a while, Xiao Ya fell asleep with a sweet expression on her face. Her canines were grinding loudly in her dreams, as if she had entered the land of dreams.

Young Master Han sat up to cultivate as he slept. Elder Xiao was already standing on the stone steps, his hands behind his back, no one knew when he’d moved.

“You’re awake? This old one has a few words to ask you! ” Elder Xiao’s tone was rather serious at this moment.

Young Master Han nodded his head and said to Elder Xiao, “Young Master obviously knows what Elder Xiao wants to ask, but you cannot tell him now. I hope that Elder Xiao will forgive me!”

Elder Xiao sighed when he heard this. It was obvious that he was disappointed. However, he did not give up and said: “Young Hero Han, come over here.”

When Young Master Han heard this, he walked to Elder Xiao’s side. Elder Xiao slowly lifted up his robe, revealing a silk cloth wrapped around his chest.

What made Young Master Han even more flabbergasted was that these silk cloths were all stained with blood and had intestines sticking out of them, emitting a rancid smell.

“This …” Young Master Han was shocked.

Elder Xiao sighed and said sorrowfully: “I have been possessed by the Divine Magus Palm and have not been in this world for a long time, but the thing I am most worried about is that young lady Xiao Ya. I want to entrust her position to me to help me bring her to the palace.

At this moment, even if Young Master Han wanted to decline, he didn’t know what to do. One had to know that right now, he couldn’t help but bear a deep grudge against the sea of blood.

However, Elder Xiao was too serious and couldn’t decline, so he could only stand there in a daze.

Elder Xiao saw that Young Master Han did not agree and was extremely anxious. He said: “Young Hero, this meeting with the martial arts world is also a form of fate. If Young Hero agrees to this matter, then I will repay you with a hundred thousand taels of gold!”

“Ten thousand taels of gold?” Yun Zheng was shocked. A duke or general? A wealthy merchant or a strong man might not even be able to take out ten thousand taels of gold? Then what was Xiao Ya’s identity?

Elder Xiao saw that Young Master Han was startled and thought that Young Master Han’s heart was moved. He took out a black ring from his pocket and threw it at him, saying, “If you’re in the imperial capital, someone will naturally come to you with this ring on your finger. As long as you ask him for ten thousand taels of gold, there’s absolutely no problem.”

When Young Master Han took a look, he saw that this exchange was incredibly dark, as if it had been forged from black jade. A lifelike flying dragon was carved into the ring, soaring through the air.

“Hand it over!”

At this moment, two arcs of light suddenly flashed as two black figures appeared in the air. One of them directly grabbed at the ring in Young Master Han’s hand while the other attacked Elder Xiao.

The movements of these two people were strange. However, their attacks were merciless, and each of their attacks were fatal. Especially those that were attacking Elder Xiao, their attacks were extremely ruthless and tyrannical. They simply wanted to kill them with one strike.

Young Master Han and the newcomer were also secretly shocked when they exchanged blows. This was because the martial arts cultivation of these two was incomparably strong, seemingly above Elder Xiao’s.

Not only that, the two of them were vicious and merciless. Every move of theirs was a move that would take the life of the opponent, leaving no leeway.

“Bam!”

At this moment, the person who was attacking Elder Xiao let out a loud cry and grabbed onto Elder Xiao’s abdomen. Elder Xiao’s abdomen had already been poisoned by the voodoo toxin. This grab made him scream in pain.

However, at the same time, Elder Xiao’s right hand quickly pierced into that person’s chest. With a fierce kowtow, he shattered a few ribs on that person’s chest.

When Young Master Han saw that Elder Xiao had been viciously attacked, he made a sudden slashing motion and a powerful demonic light shot towards the person in front of him. This person was overwhelmed with shock when he saw the demonic light and hastily retreated.

However, no matter how fast he retreated, how could he endure Young Master Han’s blow? With a loud boom, an arc of light shot out from his chest and pierced through his spine, causing blood to spurt into the air.

“You … Are they from the Demon Sect? ” That person turned around and pointed a finger at Young Master Han before he died. He fell to the ground in a trance, his eyes wide open in death.

The other person saw his comrade die and had his ribs broken by Elder Xiao. There was no way to escape, so he could only beg, “Protector Xiao, please spare my pathetic life!”

“Spare your dog life?”

Elder Xiao’s gaze suddenly turned ruthless as he stepped forward and stomped down. He actually stomped on that person’s head until it became minced meat. With just a little force, Elder Xiao immediately staggered and fell onto the stone steps.

This fight had already alarmed Xiao Ya. She saw that his sleeping eyes had awoken and he immediately pounced over, supporting Elder Xiao as he cried, “Grandfather … “Grandfather!”

Elder Xiao’s gaze hardened as a slight smile appeared on his shrivelled face. He beckoned at Young Master Han with all his might and said, “Little brother …” I want to ask you a question… Just one sentence! ”

Young Master Han hurried over and asked respectfully, “Elder Xiao, don’t worry. Young Master Han will definitely complete the task you’ve entrusted to me!”

Elder Xiao smiled ruefully when he heard this. He grabbed Young Master Han’s hand and said with great difficulty, “What you used just now was a devil …” I would like to ask about your master’s sect. Would you mind telling me the truth? ”

The Heavenly Demonic Zither immediately appeared in front of Elder Xiao. Elder Xiao looked at the Heavenly Demonic Zither and was immediately shocked. He grabbed Xiao Ya and said with a trembling voice, “The Heavenly Demonic Zither …” “The Heavenly Demonic Zither, this …”

As he spoke, he spat out a mouthful of blood, which splattered across the stairs.

Xiao Ya didn’t know what to do. She hugged Elder Xiao tightly and cried, “Grandfather …” Grandfather, what’s wrong? ”

Obviously, Elder Xiao knew about the Sky Demon Zither. Of course, he knew that the person in front of him was a disciple of the Sky Demon Martial School. Although the Sky Demon Martial School was located in the southern border, its reputation was disorderly.

Young Master Han thought Elder Xiao hated the idea of sending out his voice and snorted. “Elder Xiao, don’t worry. A sword can kill and save people. Although Young Master Han is a demon sword, his killing intent is all in my heart!”

“This… Little brother, you misunderstand. However, you will naturally understand this matter in the future. Please remember what you promised me … “Send Xiao Ya to the capital …”

After Elder Xiao finished his last sentence, he suddenly tilted his head and breathed his last.

Xiao Ya threw herself onto Elder Xiao’s body, swaying for a moment before she fainted from crying. Young Master Han could only help Xiao Ya lie down on the steps and knock on the temple door.

This knock was unexpected. The temple door creaked open and a fat Daoist walked out shakily. He bowed towards Young Master Han and asked with a trembling voice, “This …” If you have any orders, please feel free to tell me… I will go and make the arrangements! ”

Young Master Han nodded his head and said, “You heard the door crack in the temple just now, right? It’s best not to spread the news of this matter, and bury this scholar well as well. As for those two fellows, drag them to the back of the mountain for me!”

When the fat Daoist heard this, his face creased. However, when he saw Young Master Han’s expression, he was immediately shocked and hastily said, “Good, good, this humble one will do as you said!”

Young Master Han was secretly amused. An ordinary Daoist warrior had refused to open the door when he knocked at first. This fight had scared them out of their wits. After giving out orders, he didn’t linger and picked up Xiao Ya.
