Chapter 1140 - Shao Yang"s Plot!
It was late in the evening, but the jungle was still looking increasingly gloomy.
"Whoos.h.!.+"
On top of the giant tree, Tang Huan"s figure suddenly appeared, closely followed by four other figures. They were Geng Xi, Chou Rui, Yin Yu and Yu Zi Chen.
After a series of twists and turns, these four experts, who were at the peak of the Seventh and Sixth Cycle of the Void Transformation Stage, were all killed by Tang Huan in one go.
They had all stayed in the "Ancient Clear Heaven Domain" for a very long time, at the very least for more than ten years. And the longer they stayed, the more they had a deep understanding of the "Ancient Clear Heaven Domain", which made Tang Huan gain quite a bit. After all, before this, his understanding of the "Ancient Clear Heaven Domain" came from the memories of Hu Chan, Mei Xun, Xia Lu and a few hundred other puppets. Hu Chan"s memories were two thousand years old, and what Ji Xun and the others knew were all rumors.
Relatively speaking, Geng Xu, Chou Rui, and the others had a much more accurate understanding of the "Ancient Clear Heaven Domain."
"Everyone, we …"
In the midst of mind instructs (in a second), the "Myriad Sword Heavenly Diagram" had already returned to the Dantian, Tang Huan smiled slightly, but before he finished speaking, his eyes focused on a branch a hundred meters away from him, and he said indifferently: "Senior Shaoyang, since you are here, why not come out and see for yourself?"
Shao Yang was the white robed old man who had invited people to refine the "Dark Ink Mysterious Iron" outside Skypiercing City. Tang Huan had learned his name from the memories of Geng Xun and the others.
"Shao Yang?"
Geng Xun and the other three were slightly shocked, almost at the same time they turned to follow Tang Huan"s gaze, but that direction was completely empty, without a single person. Not only that, they did not even sense anything amiss. The four of them exchanged glances subconsciously, all feeling somewhat puzzled.
"Little brother, you"ve seen through everything with ease. You"re truly amazing!"
Right at this moment, a vigorous laughter suddenly sounded out, and a white figure actually appeared on the originally empty branch. It was Shao Yang.
In just a flash, he and Tang Huan were already only a dozen meters apart.
"Brother Shao!"
Geng Xun"s expression changed slightly. A hint of surprise also appeared in the eyes of Chou Rui and the other two.
Although the mighty powerful experts of the Seventh and Sixth Cycle of the Void Transformation Stage were controlled by Tang Huan"s "Puppet Soul Seal", none of them were convinced. In their opinion, the reason why he had been reduced to such a state was because of the internal strife, allowing Tang Huan to obtain such a great benefit.
If the four of them had worked together, Tang Huan would have disappeared from this world long ago.
They never would have thought that Tang Huan"s Perception Ability had actually reached such an astonis.h.i.+ng level. They never realized anything, not only did Tang Huan detect that there was someone nearby, he could even accurately determine the ident.i.ty of that person … The difference between the two was simply too great.
"May I know the purpose of Senior Shao Yang"s visit?"
Tang Huan smiled leisurely, but he was already on guard in his heart. The fact that Shao Yang was hiding on the side was absolutely not a coincidence. Towards a top Ranker at the Void Transformation Stage, Tang Huan did not dare to be negligent at all. As long as anything was amiss, he would immediately use "Void Escape" to leave.
"If this old man were to say that I came here by chance, I"m sure you wouldn"t believe me." Gengxu and the others nodded slightly as Shao Yang smiled, but an expression of disbelief flashed across his face. It was likely that he never expected that Tang Huan and Gengxu would get along so harmoniously.
"..."
Tang Huan laughed without saying a word.
Shao Yang smiled again, "Little brother, actually, this old man is following brother Geng and the others. The Divine Weapon Catalogue s and smithing materials of the Heaven Rank Divine Armament were quite precious, and there were many people coveting them within the Tong Tian City. "Yesterday, when little brother left, there were a lot of people chasing him. I was worried that little brother might have some accidents, so I came to see if there were any problems. If there are any, I can help little brother."
"Oh?"
Tang Huan cupped his hands and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Then, I really have to thank Senior Shao Yang."
As he spoke, a sense of ridicule surfaced in Tang Huan"s eyes.
Tang Huan did not believe Shao Yang"s explanation. With so many people from Tong Tian City chasing after them, their cultivation level was comparable to Geng Xu and the others, so why was it that Shao Yang did not follow anyone else but Geng Xun and the others? Maybe Shao Yang was directly following him!
Moreover, now that he recalled what Shao Yang said before he left yesterday, it was obvious that he antic.i.p.ated their meeting today. This likely meant that Shao Yang had long since guessed that someone would be able to trace his tracks, and he himself had long since been prepared to follow him.
It was just that Tang Huan didn"t quite understand Shao Yang"s intentions.
Was he planning to s.n.a.t.c.h the Divine Weapon Catalogue and materials back? The reason why he did not go back on his word and did not attack outside of Tongtian City was because he did not want to ruin his own reputation?
"Brother, if you say it like that, then you really have to blame me for harming you."
Shao Yang laughed and said, "This old man didn"t even have the time to do anything and little brother has already taken care of the problem."
"Speaking of which, this old man still underestimated little brother, to actually be able to subdue Brother Geng Xi and the other three. This isn"t something that anyone can do, in the future, even this old man, who was at the Void Transformation Stage, would be willing to admit defeat if he were to see little brother."
Hearing Shao Yang"s words, Geng Xun and the other three looked at each other with ugly expressions.
They had already come to their senses. Even if they had not been sent into Tang Huan"s cave, once Tang Huan had appeared, they would not have been able to steal the Divine Weapon Catalogue and artifact forging materials. Because the moment they made a move, Shao Yang, who was concealed nearby, would definitely help Tang Huan.
Shao Yang who had reached the Void Transformation Stage was not someone they could contend with after reaching the peak of the Void Transformation Stage.
"You"re too kind, too kind."
Shao Yang obviously did not understand why Geng Xu and the other three would become Tang Huan"s friends, and his words contained a probing intention. Tang Huan pretended not to understand and said smilingly, "Senior Shaoyang, the days are already getting late. If there"s nothing else, then we"ll be taking our leave."
With that, Tang Huan made a gesture to leave.
"Wait!" "Wait!"
When Shao Yang saw this, he hurriedly stopped Tang Huan and said somewhat helplessly, "Little brother, to be honest, the reason this old man followed you here is because I want to help little brother out, and because I have a request."
"So that"s how it is."
Tang Huan"s eyes flashed with a hint of understanding. He had already faintly guessed Shao Yang"s intention of tormenting himself like this.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, Tang Huan would definitely die. In the face of danger, Shao Yang"s sudden appearance to save Tang Huan from the fire and water, to Tang Huan, this was a great favor he had done.
At this time, no matter how much request Shao Yang had for Tang Huan, even if his request was a little excessive, Tang Huan would not refuse.
Shao Yang had never expected that Tang Huan would actually possess a s.p.a.ce like the "Illusory Sword Heavenly Palace", which would directly send Geng Xun and the others into the cave, and then use the opportunity of their internal strife to control them one by one with the "Puppet Soul Seal", causing all their plans to fail.
