"It's time for Jin Zhizhi." As Nangong Jing said this, the quarrelsome Chu Chouli and Lu Houde instantly quieted down.
However, Nangong Jing had never heard of the quarrel between the two of them before. He said to himself, "You have an hour and a half."
Two and a half hours had passed since the Copper Deacons went up the mountain, and one and a half hours had passed since the Silver Deacons went up the mountain. The Golden Deacons' trials had finally begun. However, it was not difficult to see from this shrinking time requirement that the higher the level of swordsmen, the more rigorous the trials they had to face.
Chu Chouli and Lu Houde were both stunned at that time. When they regained their senses, their expressions were completely different.
The former had an ugly expression, while the latter had a smug smile.
Regardless of whether it was Chu Chouli or Lu Houde, the beginning of the Golden Execution Trial was undoubtedly the death sentence for Xu Han. After all, Xu Han had yet to arrive at this moment, which was tantamount to giving up the Swordsman Competition.
Lu Houde knew that once Xu Han gave up the swordsman competition, Yan Zhan and Fang Ziyu would be able to participate in the competition. As the champion of the Golden Execution Rankings of the Dragon Gate Gathering, Lu Houde had the right to choose his opponent once. As long as he used it properly and selected Yan Zhan as his opponent to defeat him, then only Fang Ziyu, who had suddenly appeared, was the swordsman among Xu Han's group.
However, he was a Golden Deacon, while Fang Ziyu was the lowest-ranked Copper Deacon. The difference in status between the two was enormous. If he wanted to deal with Xu Han and the others at that time, with Fang Ziyu's status in the Sword Handling Pavilion, it would be very difficult for him to make any meaningful obstruction to his movements.
Thinking of this, Lu Houde swept away the anger he had felt in the battle of words with Chu Chouli. He understood that the battle of words was only a temporary gain after all, and he had plenty of opportunities to take good care of Xu Han and the others in the days to come.
"Let's wait and see." Lu Houde said coldly to Chu Chouli and the others at that time, and then he led Hu Man'er and Xing Zhen to the steps up the mountain.
Facing Lu Houde 's mockery, Chu Chouli, on the other hand, did not have the same thoughts as before. He didn't have much interest in the so-called identity of a swordsman, He only thought about the reason why he had decided to participate in the swordsman competition with Xu Han earlier in order to understand Xu Han's background. This matter was extremely important to Xu Han. Otherwise, they would not have traveled through half of Great Xia to arrive here with such great difficulty. However, Xu Han was unable to arrive at such an important matter. From Chu Chouli's understanding of Xu Han, unless he encountered great trouble, it was impossible for Xu Han not to arrive here.
Thinking of this. Chu Chouli's brows were tightly knitted, and the worry on his face could be said to be overflowing with words.
On the side, Yan Zhan was similarly worried about Xu Han. But his mind was more delicate, He knew very well that, Once Lu Houde and the others successfully passed the Swordsman Competition, then there will be vengeance on them, The most effective way to stop the other party's actions was to become a swordsman like him, Xu Han's absence placed all of this burden on him. Therefore, no matter how much worry he had for Xu Han, this man had no choice but to suppress his thoughts. After explaining to Xue Ning and Chu Chouli, he calmly walked onto the steps up the mountain.
When Nangong Jing confirmed that everyone was present, he wanted to announce the start of the trial. At that time, Lu Houde also glanced at Yan Zhan, Chu Chouli, and the others with serious expressions. He seemed to have seen the appearance of these people crawling at his feet and pleading for help in the near future.
With this thought in mind, Elder Lu raised his head and lifted his chest. He swept through the troubled mood of the past few days and was filled with high spirits.
However, there was a saying that this month was full of gloom and misfortune. Everything in the world had always been as difficult as people wished, especially for the recent Lu Houde.
His complacent expression hadn't lasted for too long, but a commotion suddenly came from outside the mountain gate.
Lu Houde 's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly turned his head to look, but what appeared in front of him was a scene that he did not want to see the most.
The youth with a pitch black sword on his back and a white cloth wrapped around his right arm all year round quickly skipped the dense crowd outside the mountain gate and landed in the mountain gate.
"Xiao Han!" Chu Chouli, who had been waiting for Xu Han's arrival all this while, saw the appearance of that person clearly and his expression immediately became overjoyed. He waved his hand loudly at the youth and said.
The youth smiled and landed beside Chu Chouli. He looked at the middle-aged man with a happy expression and said sincerely, "Big Brother Chu, I've made you worry."
"Haha! It's fine. It's good that you're back!" Chu Chouli laughed and patted Xu Han on the shoulder. He said happily, but his gaze was also looking at Xu Han up and down at that time.
After disappearing for more than a month, the youth seemed to have returned to his original appearance.
He was calm and silent. Although he didn't look sharp or strange, he could somehow give people a sense of peace of mind. This was probably the unique charm of this youth.
However, the middle-aged man who had put down the suspending heart did not notice that there was a bell on the youth's right arm. At that time, the thing that Zhen Yue had personally tied to the youth's body before she died.
The surrounding people also noticed Xu Han's arrival at that time. If Xu Han could be said to be an influential figure in Emperor Heng, Regardless of how brilliant he was when he defeated Li Dingxian at the Dragon Gate Meeting, It was the Crimson Firmament Sect that didn't hesitate to use the sword command to deal with Xu In the end, he caused himself a lot of trouble, This youth who didn't show his face in the rivers and lakes of Great Xia had become one of the few people who enjoyed talking about him the most after dinner. Therefore, Xu Han's arrival inevitably caused bursts of whispers from everyone. Even Nangong Jing stopped his words at this moment and looked at the young man who suddenly appeared with great interest
Lu Houde and the others had ugly expressions on their faces. Although they were unwilling to admit it, they had to admit that this youth, whose cultivation was far inferior to theirs, was a more difficult fellow to deal with than Yan Zhan in their hearts.
Facing the astonished or strange gazes cast by the crowd, Xu Han calmly accepted them. After chatting with Chu Chouli for a while, indicating that the other party was at ease, he finally turned around and walked towards the place where Lu Houde and the others were.
Everyone who knew the grudge between Xu Han and the Crimson Firmament Sect quieted down at that time. They stared at Xu Han closely and secretly guessed what kind of conflict was going to happen between the two sides. At that time, Lu Houde and the others also frowned and looked at Xu Han with vigilance. If they hadn't seen him with their own eyes, it would have been hard to believe that a Heavenly Hunt Realm youth could have caused the three Great Evolution Realm experts to fear him to such an extent.
Xu Han walked over to Lu Houde and the others in an unsightly manner. The corner of his mouth suddenly curved into a sharp arc. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the three of them, saying, "Long time no see, three of you."
