Chapter 442 - Shan Lan
That voice was like a thunderclap, rumbling as it came from afar, and the note contained a strong sense of anger.
The moment he heard the shout, Tang Huan felt an incomparably majestic imposing aura, like a surging wave, roaring and rus.h.i.+ng over. In an instant, the garden seemed to have turned into a violently churning ocean, a terrifying pressure that seemed to grind people into fine powder.
Tang Huan"s heart trembled, from the aura, he could determine that the person who came was powerful, and was most likely a Martial Saint of the Peak Stage Nine.
"Hu!"
In a moment of Tang Huan"s thought, the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" and the Five Colors Spiritual Pills were already madly revolving, and a strong imposing manner immediately roared out from their body. However, it did not spread far, but continuously lingered around them, resisting the pressure that was as vast as the ocean.
"Huh?"
A low cry of surprise sounded out, and immediately after, a white figure appeared in Tang Huan"s line of sight.
A moment ago, that figure had just appeared on a rooftop several tens of meters away, but it didn"t even take a blink of an eye for him to arrive in front of Tang Huan. With a distance of less than three meters, the person who arrived was actually a white-clothed female with snow-white hair, who had a rather young and beautiful complexion.
However, Tang Huan could feel that this woman was only a beauty, she was definitely not young at all.
"Who are you?" The white clothed female frowned slightly, and quickly sized Tang Huan up before her gaze landed on the Dragon and Phoenix Spear in Tang Huan"s hands.
"I am Tang Huan, greetings senior!" Tang Huan cupped his hands and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"You are Tang Huan?" The lady in white"s expression eased up a little and said, "Did you kill all of these "Secluded Night Divine Palace" a.s.sa.s.sins?"
"Exactly."
Tang Huan nodded and smiled.
Of the corpses left in the garden, two of them were archers. They still had a few "Phantom Arrows" left on them. As long as they could identify these arrows, they would be able to quickly determine the ident.i.ties of the corpses.
"You"re lying!" The woman in white sneered.
"Elder..."
Tang Huan remained calm, but his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately started to explain. But before he finished speaking, the white clothed female pointed to the body lying on the ground a few meters away and said: "The other killers died by your hands, he was the only one, there was no way you could have killed him!"
The person the lady in white was referring to was the archer who died in the hands of the Fat Old Man.
The other killers had all died under Tang Huan"s Dragon and Phoenix Spear, their bodies clearly marked with marks, but this archer"s body did not have any injuries.
This was the biggest flaw.
"Senior, you"re right. I actually forgot about this person."
Tang Huan thought about it and then laughed, "This a.s.sa.s.sin did indeed die to another senior. The spear intent activated by that senior is just too powerful."
"This junior was originally guessing his ident.i.ty, but after hearing the name senior just called out earlier, this junior realized, he should be the "Spear Saint" Ye Chongshan? I never thought that we would meet the old man from the "Spear Saint" here.
"Supposedly, the "True Flaming Rainbow Spear Technique" this junior cultivates comes from Senior Spear Saint." As he finished speaking, Tang Huan"s eyes were filled with reverence and wors.h.i.+p.
"Enough, stop pretending!"
However, the lady in white did not hold back and poked Tang Huan, "Where did Ye Chongshan go?"
"Amongst those "Secluded Night Divine Palace" a.s.sa.s.sins, one of the archers that was able to use the Nine Star Linked Pearl escaped over there. Senior Ye chased after him." Tang Huan laughed awkwardly, he then raised his hand and pointed towards the direction of Black Costume Old Man.
"Nine Star Linked Pearl?"
The lady in white frowned, her gaze landing on the golden arrows that were dozens of meters away, she stared straight at Tang Huan, "Where did he really go?"
"That"s right!" Tang Huan nodded without hesitation.
"Alright!" The woman in white nodded, then suddenly sped away in the opposite direction.
"Senior, you walked the wrong path."
Seeing that, Tang Huan was stunned for a moment before recovering, and anxiously shouted out. The direction she was heading towards, was in the direction of where the old fatty had left to. However, the white-clothed female acted as if she didn"t hear his shout at all. She was as quick as lightning, and in the time it took to snap a finger, she had already disappeared.
"What is the ident.i.ty of this woman?"
Tang Huan"s face changed slightly.
Although he had only spoken a few words to her, Tang Huan had already understood how powerful she was. An incomparably tyrannical power, just one of a kind. What made Tang Huan even more dejected was that, as if she could read minds, she could actually see through his lies.
This caused Tang Huan to be extremely worried.
Judging from her shout when she appeared, there seemed to be a deep grudge between her and the old fatty. With the old fatty"s current condition, once he fell into her hands, how could he still be alive? Earlier, when the old fatty was fleeing in a hurry, could it be that he was worried about encountering this woman?
Thinking about it, Tang Huan became even more worried, he moved, and chased after the lady in white.
"Tang Huan! "Stop chasing!"
But just as Tang Huan ran out more than ten meters, a low shout resounded in his ears.
Tang Huan stopped subconsciously and turned around. A tall figure appeared in the garden in a flash. It was the Great Clan Elder of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, Shen Guan.
"Grand Elder?" Suspicion flashed across Tang Huan"s eyes.
"Tang Huan, do you know who that was?" Shen Guan"s expression was a little strange. Without waiting for Tang Huan"s reply, he smiled and said, "Her surname is Shan and her name is Shan Lan."
"Shan Lan?"
Tang Huan was startled, "Could it be that the senior also glorifies the descendants of the Sacred Emperor?" At that age, even if she was the same age as Shan Shan, and was also a descendant of the Sacred Emperor, she would definitely be Shan Shan"s elder.
"She isn"t a descendant of the Saint King, she"s the sister of the Saint King." Shen Guan laughed involuntarily.
"Sister …" "Sister …"
Tang Huan was slightly shocked, "Then isn"t she over a hundred years old?"
Her age was actually older than Tang Huan had guessed. "Little sister of the Saint King"s Mountain and River, then wouldn"t she be a character of the same generation as that old fatty? " The old fatty had the "Flowing Rainbow Spear" forged by the Sacred Emperor and he had an extremely high status in the Glory Empire. Not only did he know Shan Lan, he was probably very familiar with him.
If that was the case, why were the two of them still in the same boat?
"That"s right."
"Senior Shan Lan and Senior Ye Chongshan"s relations.h.i.+p is a little complicated, so there"s no need for us to get involved."
"It"s more complicated. Could it be that they were once lovers?" An extremely bold idea popped out of Tang Huan"s mind. Hearing Shen Guan"s words, he suddenly came to a realization, that when Shan Lan talked about the old fatty, he was not only infuriated, but also spoke with dense resentment.
