Hidden Blade

Chapter 23 Stand By And Move

Xu Han and Black Cat Xuan\'er followed the soldiers under the headmaster for three whole days.

They were extremely cautious. They were marching along a secluded mountain path, and there were three people patrolling at all times. Xu Han had been carefully hiding for the past three days, but he had not found any chance to save them.

And as the soldiers of the Long Night Division marched at night, In order not to lose them, Xu Han had no choice but to give up on absorbing demonic energy for the black cat every day. Xuan\'er was sensible and forcefully endured these three days, but her spirit was much weaker than the previous few days. Xu Han did not know if it would cause irreparable damage to the black cat if this continued.

On the other side, although their current location was still some distance away from Great Zhou\'s capital, Chang\'an, once they entered Liangzhou, that place was no different from the southern part of Xuzhou. The patrolling troops could be said to be everywhere, and even Senluo\'s influence in Liangzhou was extremely weak.

At that time, it would be even more difficult for Xu Han to save Canghai Liuliu.

Just as Xu Han was so anxious that he couldn\'t restrain himself from attacking several times, things turned around.

It was the fifth day that Canghai Liu was escorted away.

Xu Han, who had been following the group of soldiers from afar, suddenly discovered that other than him, there seemed to be someone following the claws of the Longevity Division.

At the same time that he discovered that group of people, that group of people also discovered Xu Han.

However, strangely enough, they did not seem to be surprised by Xu Han\'s existence at all. They only maintained sufficient vigilance towards him, but did not have any intention of attacking him or talking to him.

Xu Han was very curious about this, but he was weak after all. He did not dare to provoke him on his own initiative, so he could only wait and see what would happen.

However, as time passed, more and more stalkers appeared.

From their attire or accent, Xu Han was keenly aware that the stalker that suddenly appeared did not come from the same route. He carefully observed them and found that these people could be divided into seven or eight sects. Each of them had about thirty to forty people in size.

Although there was no conflict between them, they were on guard against each other.

Xu Han was surprised and puzzled at first, but then he suddenly understood.

Canghai Liu had said that there were many people in the Great Zhou Empire who wanted to kill him, and these Jianghu people gathered behind the Long Night Division must be the people that Canghai Liu had said wanted to kill him.

Xu Han was not stupid. No matter how fierce and evil Canghai Liu was, no matter how many people in the world wanted to kill him. But now that he had fallen into the hands of the Long Night Division, waiting for the fate of the Vast Ocean Stream, it was probably even more terrifying than death.

Logically speaking, these righteous warriors should be able to put away their righteous indignation and wait in peace to see the tragic end of the ocean currents. Why did they still follow the Longevity Division so desperately? To offend a terrorist force that even Dark Asura Hall did not dare to offend?

People in this world, no matter how high-sounding they were, didn\'t care how high-sounding their mouths were.

However, things in this world would never change.

As the saying goes, all the Xi Xi in the world is for profit, and all the bustling people in the world are for profit.

Thinking back to the sword that the Commander of the Long Night Division had mentioned when he interrogated Canghai Liu, it seemed that the reason why Canghai Liu had been chased by the black and white streams of the Great Zhou for so many years was because there were some unknown secrets behind it.

Of course, Xu Han didn\'t have the mood to dig deeper into this. His idea was very simple. Canghai Liuliu had saved him, so he couldn\'t watch Canghai Liuliu die helplessly.

As for the rest, what did it have to do with him?

However, because the number of people gathered in Jianghu gradually increased, Xu Han was no longer afraid of losing the group of people from the Long Night Division. He could spare some time every day to absorb the demonic energy in his body for the black cat, so as to alleviate his pain.

Just like that, another five days passed.

There were more and more Jianghu forces following behind the Long Night Division army, and the people of the Long Night Division seemed to be on guard. They began to consciously speed up their march, and they were about to cross the Xuzhou territory and enter Liangzhou.

As for Xu Han, who was mixed up in the Jianghu forces, he gradually felt restless and uneasy in the crowd.

He knew that these people would probably make a move within two days.

…

Luo Tiancheng was very irritated.

A few days ago, he received a secret decree from the Chief of the Long Night Division, Zhu Xian , asking him to bring people to capture the Sword Dao Master, Canghai Liu, who had been wanted by Great Zhou for dozens of years.

Although the secret decree promised him a reward that was enough to make anyone jealous, Luo Tiancheng was still very uneasy.

It was the ocean current.

The Southern Desolate Sword Mausoleum\'s traitor, Canghai Liu.

Even though the decree had said that Canghai Liuliu had fought against Yue Fuyao , who was fighting against the Heavenly Battle, he was seriously injured.

But a skinny camel was bigger than a horse, how could he provoke a mere general of a small city in Xuzhou to fight against Yue Fuyao ?

But how could Zhu Xian of the Long Night Division be someone he could disobey?

After hesitating for a while, Luo Tiancheng finally led his elite subordinates away.

In the end, he was still unable to resist the temptation of the generous reward in Zhu Xian \'s decree.

However, what he never expected was that this notorious Vastsea Current in Jianghu was actually so weak. However, he had paid the price of less than 30 people under him and captured him alive.

Next, as long as he was brought to Chang\'an, the capital of Great Zhou, then Luo Tiancheng would be endlessly rewarded.

Luo Tiancheng was not dazed by the upcoming beautiful future. The journey to Chang\'an from Xuzhou was far away, so what kind of variables would there be if he didn\'t keep them together? Therefore, he led his troops out day and night, picking out some remote mountain paths to drive.

He had thought that this would be safe, but who knew that their whereabouts would still be exposed?

There were more and more people in Jianghu behind him. Even though he saw Liang Zhou right in front of him, Luo Tiancheng felt even more uneasy in his heart.

On this day, they arrived at the Red Leaf Ridge on the border of Xuzhou.

In just a day\'s time, they would be able to cross this mountain range, and on that side was the territory of Liang Zhou. When they got there, the Jianghu forces would no longer have any chances.

Luo Tiancheng arranged for his soldiers to sit down and rest for a while, and then he wanted to lead them to Liang Zhou overnight so that they wouldn\'t have a long night\'s sleep.

For this reason, he checked the situation of the ocean currents. The old man lay leisurely in the prison cart specially prepared for him, with a dog-tailed grass pulled from somewhere in his mouth. From the looks of it, he did not seem to feel the slightest bit worried about his own situation.

Every time Luo Tiancheng saw Canghai Liuliu\'s appearance, he would hate him to the point of itching his teeth, but there was nothing he could do about it.

When we get to Jingdou, you\'ll feel better.

Luo Tiancheng secretly said in his heart, then turned around and closed the iron door of the prison carriage.

At this time, the personal guard handed over a water bag. Luo Tiancheng took it and lifted his head to take a big sip.

It was June, and the sun in Xuzhou was fierce. Even at night, the air was still filled with undissipating heat.

Luo Tiancheng finished drinking the water and reached out to wipe the water stains from the corner of his mouth. Just as he was about to instruct the soldiers below to prepare to set off again, his mouth opened. His expression suddenly sank as if he had sensed something. He shouted, "Be careful!"

Before he could finish his words, the distant dense forest was filled with hurried voices that pierced through the air.

The soldiers under Luo Tiancheng were still considered elites. They immediately reacted and took out their long sabers from their waists, sending all the things that had exploded flying away.

Only then did Luo Tiancheng see clearly that the things that flew over were shockingly sharp arrows that shone with a cold light.

His mind sank, knowing that the Jianghu Grasslands were finally unable to restrain themselves, so he chose to take action.

As if to respond to his thoughts, this thought arose. Suddenly, a loud shout of killing came from all directions. At that moment, figures jumped out of the forest and surrounded Luo Tiancheng and the others.

Both sides were extremely clear about each other\'s intentions, so they naturally omitted the fake tactics of swordsmanship.

In the blink of an eye, Luo Tiancheng , who had regained his senses, was able to lead his soldiers into a mess with the Jianghu Grasslands.

For some reason, the Jianghu people who had received news that Canghai Liu had been seriously injured seemed to be people of all walks of life. A total of 400 people were inextricably linked to the 50 elites under Luo Tiancheng , and it was actually difficult to obtain an obvious advantage for a time.

Xu Han, who was hiding in the distance, frowned as he watched all of this and thought to himself.

How many people wanted to kill Vastsea Current? Why did they rush over with such goods?

Could it be that someone else was secretly manipulating it?

Such a question crawled into Xu Han\'s heart. However, no matter what, he did not have time to hesitate anymore. He could only temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart and carefully observe the situation on the field to find the best time to save the Vast Ocean Current.

Although the three sects and nine sects couldn\'t stand on the stage, there were still many people. After paying the price of hundreds of corpses, Luo Tiancheng \'s men gradually showed signs of exhaustion.

Seeing that victory was imminent, the Jianghu Grasslands\' eyes turned even redder, and the attacks on their hands became even more ferocious.

Some people said that Luo Tiancheng \'s troops had been defeated by their attacks.

In less than a hundred breaths of time, apart from Luo Tiancheng and a few personal guards who had fled into Red Leaf Ridge in a sorry state, the rest of the soldiers had all fallen under the swords of this group of Jianghu grass.

Xu Han, who was watching from afar, cursed at the trash in his heart. In just fifteen minutes, Luo Tiancheng and the others had already retreated.

Because of this, Xu Han\'s plan to take advantage of the chaos to rob the Vast Ocean Current was fooled.

Moreover, because these Jianghu people took over, their numbers were huge, making it much more difficult for Xu Han to save the Vast Ocean Current.

Just as he was regretting, another round of fighting suddenly sounded from the quiet battlefield.

Xu Han was stunned. He hurriedly turned his head to look again, only to see that the people who had just fought side by side had somehow started fighting again. The scene instantly turned into a mess.

Only then did Xu Han realize that these people were originally united temporarily. Now that the sea of vicissitudes had flowed into his hands, he naturally refused to accept anyone. He feared that he would have to fight to the death again.

Thinking of this, Xu Han\'s eyes lit up. He bent over and jumped towards the battlefield.

He knew that the opportunity he was waiting for had finally come!
