Chapter 588 Excuse Me, Madam. Take off Your Clothes
"Come! Xiu'er, hurry up and kneel down to your benefactors."
Inside the bloody inn, the Qian couple pulled the still unsettled boy to kneel in front of Liu Sheng. The three of them thanked Liu Sheng and the others for their kindness and gratitude, and they didn't stop until Liu Sheng and the others helped them up. Fang Ziyu and Meng Liang brought tea for the three of them to drink, and only then did they calm down the unease in their hearts.
Of course, everyone was focused on comforting the Qian Clan couple who had suffered a great calamity, while Xu Han stood at the side and watched the seven corpses that couldn't stand up and the blood that had already flowed all over the ground. He frowned and revealed a bitter smile.
To be able to kill such a villain was naturally a joyous thing, but after killing him, what would happen?
Xu Han and the others could leave in one go, but the real trouble for the three members of the Qian Clan had only just begun.
Thinking of this, Xu Han walked to the front of the couple. The Qian Clan seemed to feel something as they raised their heads to look at Xu Han.
He smiled and said, "I think the two of you should tell us what happened in Phoenix Cloud Town now, right?"
…
Ever since Cui Ting had taken Jiang Zhichen and Qiu Fuping hostage more than a month ago and erected the Chu character profound flag on the land of the three continents, the Emperor of the State of Chu, who had never seen a single general, Wen Chen, or ordinary people, had issued an edict sealing the borders of the three continents. The land of the three continents was only open to people, but no one was allowed to leave.
Immediately after was another edict, whereby all those within the territory who were under the age of ten or twenty, regardless of gender or status, would be sent to the Sacred Palace.
As for what this Qian Clan couple was sent to the Sacred Palace for, as an ordinary citizen, they naturally had no way of knowing. However, according to the rumors, five out of ten of these people who were sent into the Sacred Palace were carried out of the Sacred Palace one by one. The rest, although they left the Sacred Palace alive, their temperaments changed greatly. Whether it was their words or their actions, they were filled with almost fanatical worship towards the mysterious Emperor.
Many times, things like humans weren't as rational as they thought. Under such an atmosphere, the people in the Land of the Three Continents were quickly divided into two factions. The former was filled with blind worship for the so-called Emperor of Chu, while the latter was filled with fear towards the Sacred Palace. The former was proud that there were children in the Sacred Palace, while the latter avoided them.
Of course, it was clear that the couple in front of him belonged to the latter.
After hearing the couple's story, everyone frowned. Even Xu Han was a little confused.
With his understanding of Dark Asura Hall, The so-called Sacred Palace was nothing more than the place where the Asura or Half Demon was created, However, neither Xu Han nor Liu Sheng had changed their temperaments as such parties. In the Qian couple's narrative, the Saint Weapon they created seemed to have become an admirer of the Emperor of Chu in a short period of time. Xu Han did not understand how the Dark Asura Palace did this.
"Benefactors, since Lord Lu… has come under orders to capture his son, if he hasn't returned for a long time, Lord Lu will definitely suspect him. Let's take advantage of the fact that the other party hasn't noticed and leave first." Just as Xu Han was secretly pondering this matter, the shopkeeper Qian suddenly walked over to Xu Han and carefully said in his ear.
"Who is Lord Lu?" On the side, Fang Ziyu listened to Shopkeeper Qian, a Lord Lu Jun, and a Lord Lu not only had some doubts.
"That's true." Shopkeeper Qian's attitude towards Xu Han and the others had undergone tremendous changes after experiencing the previous events. Upon hearing this question, he hurriedly explained, "Benefactor, this is the case. Lord Lu's son is the Holy Weapon who was baptized by the Holy Palace's Holy Energy. He is also the mayor of our Phoenix Cloud Town."
"Ever since the Emperor ascended to the throne, all the satraps in Jing Prefecture have been held by Saint Weapons. They have generally carried out His Majesty's orders thoroughly without showing the slightest bit of mercy."
Hearing this, Li Dingxian stepped forward and said, "Does that mean that the three continents are full of trusted followers of the Thief Emperor?"
Shopkeeper Qian was stunned. He was probably not used to Li Dingxian's address as the Great Chu Emperor, but he still nodded and said, "I'm afraid so."
"Then where can you escape to?" Li Moding frowned and said. Unlike Li Dingxian, who was filled with anger, the Li family's prince still had some guilt in his heart. From his point of view, it was only natural for him to protect the people for the emperor, but now that the people of the three continents had fallen into such a situation, they naturally couldn't avoid the blame as imperial clans.
Hearing this, the faces of the three members of the Qian Clan darkened, and they were also filled with worry about their imminent escape. But that shopkeeper Qian quickly said, "Even if we die, the three of us will die together." As he spoke, the cowardly middle-aged man stretched out his hand and embraced his wife and children. His eyes lit up with a divine light, and that light flickered with determination like iron.
Probably every husband or father in this world is like this. They always stand up when their wives or sons need them and prop up the world with their thin bodies. This point had nothing to do with status or cultivation, it only cared about the heart.
"Why don't we take them out of the border?" After all, Fang Ziyu was kind-hearted. Seeing this scene, his heart was naturally moved. At that time, he turned to look at Xu Han and said hopefully.
However, before Xu Han could speak, Meng Liang, who had always been obedient to her, said in a deep voice, "It's not difficult for us to leave the border, but once Cui Ting is alerted, it will be difficult for us to enter. If we can't reach Great Zhou and destroy this Dead Chu, more ordinary people will suffer."
"Then should we just watch them die?" Fang Ziyu stamped his feet in anger.
Meng Liang was naturally unable to hold back Miss Fang's temper and immediately became speechless.
Right at this moment, the previously silent Xu Han suddenly walked out to the side of the seven corpses and began to carefully carry the corpses one after another.
Everyone knew that Xu Han had always been calm, and they thought that he could think of some way to help the three Qian Clan members escape. They immediately turned their gazes to Xu Han.
He flipped through the dead corpses one by one, as if he was looking for something. Finally, he stopped beside a relatively thin corpse. He looked at the corpse, then at the woman Qian. His gaze was burning, making Madam Qian a little uncomfortable.
After a few breaths, Xu Han suddenly withdrew his gaze and walked over to Madam Qian.
Probably because Xu Han's gaze was too strange, the three members of the family were somewhat afraid and subconsciously took a step back.
However, Xu Han didn't seem to feel anything about it. He hooked his body and looked at Madam Qian's rather curvaceous figure. Suddenly, he said, "Excuse me, Madam, take off your clothes."
