Hidden Blade-Chapter 30 There Must Be a Duty For the Heavens to Descend Upon Me

The Headmaster of the Tiance Prefecture didn't understand what Canghai Liu was thinking, and neither did Xu Han.

But in the end, the Headmaster agreed to accept Xu Han as his disciple in front of Canghai Liu.

At that time, a smile appeared on Canghai Liu's face from the bottom of his heart.

However, for some reason, that smile suddenly stabbed at Xu Han.

The next day, Canghai Liuliu bid farewell to the Headmaster and led Xu Han and Xuan'er on their way again.

They had already arrived at the border of You Zhou, and with their footsteps, they would be able to reach the destination in Canghai Liuliu's mouth, Great Abyss Mountain , within ten more days.

The journey that had suddenly begun seemed to have finally come to an end, but Xu Han's heart was inexplicably uneasy.

In the past half a year, Xu Han had never asked about the past of the Vast Ocean Current. Compared to the Sword Mausoleum traitor, he was a fierce and evil person. All Xu Han knew was that there were more words like stubbornness, stubbornness, and desperation for face.

In the end, he still didn't understand the current.

Thirty years ago, Xu Han did not know why he had injured his fellow disciples, stealing swords from the sword tomb of the Mausoleum of the Swords, and then betraying his sect.

Xu Han did not know how he had gone from being a traitor in the Southern Desolate Sword Mausoleum to angering the entire Great Zhou Empire.

Thirty years later, Xu Han still didn't know why he stubbornly wanted to go to Great Abyss Mountain .

Actually, Xu Han did not care. Whether Canghai Liuliu was good or evil had nothing to do with him. He just felt that Canghai Liuliu treated him well, so he wanted to repay him. That's all.

However, in Crooked View City, Xu Han could still remember the conversation between Canghai Liu and the Headmaster of Tiance Prefecture. He could vaguely feel that Canghai Liu was leaving him a path of retreat. It was this point that made Xu Han uneasy.

Eight days passed.

Perhaps it was because they were already far away from the Central Plains, or perhaps the weather in Youzhou was too harsh.

On these eight days, they had never encountered those annoying flies again.

They walked very smoothly and arrived at the foot of the Great Abyss Mountain .

As night fell, the wind and snow arrived as usual.

Xu Han found some dry wood in the withered forest not far away and brought it back to the cave where they lived. Then, he lit a campfire to keep them warm.

Canghai Liu wiped away the scarlet sword quietly. Xu Han glanced at him and silently walked to Xuan'er's side to pick it up. It was as if every day before, he began to absorb the berserk demonic energy in his body.

Xu Han had done this a hundred times and was already familiar with it.

After absorbing the demonic energy and refining it in the snow with the Asura Art, more than two hours had passed.

Xuan'er had already fallen asleep beside the campfire, while Canghai Liuliu was still wiping the sword in his hand.

Xu Han sat there silently. He hesitated slightly, but in the end, he couldn't help but ask, "Is this sword what those people want?"

Regardless of whether it was the clerks of the Long Night Division or those Jianghu raiders who chased after profits, they had asked Canghai Liuliu about the whereabouts of a sword more than once. Canghai Liuliu was frank about the sword that he had made Xu Han carry on his back. However, for some reason, those people did not believe it. Instead, they felt that Canghai Liuliu was playing with them.

However, Xu Han had a hunch that this sword was the one that the entire Great Zhou Empire, the Imperial Court, and the Jianghu Empire flocked to!

"Yes." Canghai Liu nodded, but did not look back at Xu Han.

He was still wiping the sword.

"Did you steal that sword from the Southern Desolate Sword Mausoleum?" Xu Han asked again in a distracted manner. In the past, Xu Han would never pursue these things that Canghai Liuliu was unwilling to tell him. However, the Great Abyss Mountain was right in front of him, and Xu Han felt somewhat uneasy in his heart. That was why he had asked such a question.

Clearly, Canghai Liu did not expect Xu Han to ask such a question. He paused to wipe his sword before nodding after slight hesitation.

Why steal swords?

This question immediately appeared in Xu Han's mind. He almost blurted it out, but for some reason, he hesitated. In the end, he did not ask and swallowed the words that had reached his mouth.

Perhaps even he himself was not telling the truth. Was he afraid of not being answered, or was he afraid of answers that he did not want to believe?

The two of them fell into silence again. f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦

The bonfire burned the dry firewood and gave off a crisp crackling sound, echoing in the silent snowy night.

"How did you see the Great Evolution Sword Technique?" Canghai Liu finally finished wiping the sword. He carefully put it away and then looked at Xu Han to break the strange silence between the two of them.

"Mm. I've finished reading it. Although I'm puzzled, I've already memorized it." Xu Han nodded in response.

The Great Evolution Sword Technique was the cultivation method of the sword seeds planted in Xu Han's body by the sea. The sword seeds planted before were only its general principles. This method allowed cultivators to cultivate from the Treasure Aquarius Realm to the Great Evolution Realm. Naturally, it was broad and profound. With Xu Han's current horizons, he could not completely understand it.

"Where are you confused? Tell me about it." Canghai gossiped.

Xu Han was stunned. "Those are too tedious. I might not be able to remember them even if Senior hasn't cultivated yet. Why don't I wait until I reach that level before asking Senior for advice?"

After Xu Han finished speaking, he looked straight at Canghai Liu, as if he was waiting for some of the answers he had hoped for.

Hearing this, Canghai Liu was stunned for a moment before nodding his head in a low voice.

"Oh."

"The cultivation method depends on yourself. No matter how much I talk about it, it's not as practical as comprehending it yourself."

Canghai Liu replied.

Hearing this, Xu Han's body trembled. He raised his head to look at Canghai Liuliu. The campfire reflected the youth's pitch-black eyes, and the light inside flashed.

"Senior …"

"We're going up the mountain tomorrow. Let's rest early." Just as Xu Han spoke, he was interrupted by Canghai Liuliu. Then, he lay down without turning back and fell asleep beside the campfire.

Xu Han calmly looked at Canghai Liuliu, who had already closed his eyes. He remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a deep sigh and helplessly sleeping with him.

…

Great Abyss Mountain .

It was a demon mountain.

The monsters in the mountains were overwhelming, and if a person entered, there would be no life or death.

Legend has it that in ancient times, the Great Demon revolted, and an immortal sealed it in a bottomless abyss. In order to prevent future troubles, the immortal used a supreme divine ability to move over a mountain to fill up the abyss, and the Great Abyss Mountain came from this.

Of course, the history was too long, so no one knew whether the legends were true or false.

However, the Great Abyss Mountain was actually stung by all sorts of monsters, and even the most powerful cultivators of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not dare to waste their lives in it.

Ever since they arrived within a hundred li radius of the Great Abyss Mountain yesterday, Xu Han had faintly smelled something unusual. However, the hundred li radius of the Great Abyss Mountain was as if it was rumored to be empty.

When they arrived at the Great Abyss Mountain through layers of snow, the scenery in front of them changed.

The Great Abyss Mountain and the snow-capped Nether Continent were like two worlds.

If it was Ling Lie's snowstorm that turned the entire Nether Continent into a vast white world, Great Abyss Mountain was an oasis within that vast white world.

"Miao!" Xuan'er squatted on top of Xu Han's head and looked at the towering mountain wrapped in dense woods. Her eyes were wide open, and her face was filled with shock and curiosity.

Although Xu Han tried his best to remain calm, the strange expression in his eyes also revealed the astonishment in his heart.

He couldn't help but have an illusion that compared to the vibrant Great Abyss Mountain in front of him, the snow-covered Nether Continent outside might be the most ferocious place. 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m

"Let's go." Canghai Liu raised his head to look at the mountain in front of him. A bright light flashed in his eyes. Then, he stopped talking and led Xu Han and the black cat towards the Great Abyss Mountain .

The unexpected appearance of Great Abyss Mountain truly shook Xu Han's heart at the beginning, but he would not let go of his vigilance because of this.

Xu Han, who had worked as an assassin for Dark Asura Hall for two years, understood one thing.

Sometimes, the more beautiful and harmless things looked, the more deadly they were.

However, after walking for a long time, Xu Han, who was vigilant, did not encounter any trouble as he had imagined.

The "Asura Art" he cultivated allowed him to accurately smell a faint demonic aura pervading the forest. It must be something that only elves could leave behind when they came out. Although Xu Han had never seen the legendary monsters, he could vaguely sense that something was following them.

Whether it was an elf or a wild beast, Xu Han was not sure.

"Don't worry, they won't attack me." However, Canghai Liuliu, who was walking ahead, seemed to have sensed Xu Han's doubts. He looked back at the solemn Xu Han and said indifferently.

Hearing this, Xu Han was stunned. He knew that the Vast Ocean Current could sense the trailers as well. However, he did not know why the Vast Ocean Current was so sure.

But now that Canghai Liu had spoken, Xu Han felt a little relieved.

"Where are we going?" He put away his worries, then thought of something else and asked Canghai Liu.

"Mountain peak." Canghai Liu's answer was simple and clear.

After Canghai Liu met the Headmaster, Xu Han faintly sensed that something was amiss. At this moment, he thought for a moment and finally mustered up his courage. Then, he asked, "What exactly are you going to do? Or is there something on the top of the mountain?"

Hearing this, Canghai Liu smiled. He turned around and looked at Xu Han again, but his footsteps never stopped.

"I remember you telling me that you were a beggar before."

"You used to ask your own people why they were alive?"

"Then tell me, you feel that since living is such a difficult thing, and everyone still has to work so hard to live, then living must have its meaning.

"The heavens told us to come to this world, so we must have arranged our own mission."

"You're still looking for your own mission."

"And I…"

Canghai Liu paused for a moment before turning his head towards the towering mountain peak and speaking heavily.

"I'm fulfilling my mission."
