Xu Han stood in front of a mansion at the peak of Zhong Ju Peak and hesitated for a long time.

    Finally, he reached out and knocked on the door of the mansion.

    The one who opened the door was a boy with red lips and white teeth. He was quite cute.

    "I''m Xu Han" Xu Han hurriedly cupped his hands and said.

    "Xu Han, right? Martial Uncle has already instructed you to come today. Let''s go. I''ll take you to see Martial Uncle."

    After saying that, the boy turned around and led Xu Han towards the depths of the mansion.

    Xu Han was stunned for a moment before he took a step forward to catch up with the boy.

    Yesterday, Chen Xuanji personally came to deliver a letter to Xu Han. The content of the letter was very simple. It was more like an invitation than a letter. Xu Han was invited to the mansion today to meet the owner of the mansion.

    The mansion was not big, but it was better than others.

    The items in the mansion looked extremely simple, from antiques to calligraphy and paintings, they were obviously rare in the world, but they weren''t flashy. On the contrary, they had a sense of simplicity.

    Xu Han followed the boy through the main hall of the mansion and arrived at a spacious open space.

    The floor was paved with fine stones, smooth and spotless.

    A red-clothed old man was sitting cross-legged and recuperating with his eyes closed.

    His figure was somewhat skinny, his head of white hair seemed to be messy, but in fact, it was combed in a rather orderly manner, coupled with his thick beard, making him look like a dignified lion.

    Although they had never met, Xu Han had already determined that this old man in front of him was the purpose of his trip, the Great Evolution Sword Immortal Zhong Changhen.

    "Xu Han greets Senior Zhong." This was the first time Xu Han had seen a Sword Dao Grandmaster of Canghai Liu''s level. He couldn''t help but feel some ripples in his heart. He respectfully cupped his hands in greeting at the first possible moment.

    "Yes." Zhong Changhen nodded. At that moment, his eyes opened. His cloudy eyes did not reveal the sharpness of Xu Han''s imagination. Instead, they resembled an ordinary old man. This was exactly the same as Chen Xuanji, his master disciple. The so-called''true person does not reveal his appearance ''and''not reveal his appearance'' was probably what he said.

    Seeing this, the boy beside him also knew what was going on, so he retreated.

    At that time, Xu Han sized up Zhong Changhen, and Zhong Changhen also sized up Xu Han in front of him.

    There was a moment of silence between the two of them.

    "That''s right." Zhong Changhen nodded in satisfaction and stood up.

    Xu Han was naturally puzzled. Zhong Changhen''s opening remarks also made Xu Han a little uncomfortable. However, out of respect for this Sword Dao Grandmaster, Xu Han subconsciously cupped his hands to express his gratitude.

    But before he could say anything, Zhong Changhen said it again, and the question of what was good was resolved at that time.

    "This Monster Lord''s arm is indeed not bad."

    Xu Han''s words were swallowed back, and a chill rose from his stomach. Dense sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.

    This was the second person besides Ning Zhumang to see through his roots.

    Ning Zhumang''s motives were unknown, but he didn''t have any intention of harming him. As for this Zhong Changhen in front of him, Xu Han didn''t understand his intentions.

    Instinctively, he bent his body and circulated the Qi around him. In just an instant, he had adjusted himself to the perfect state. He could attack instantly or escape as fast as he could.

    Even though these tricks might seem insignificant or even childish to this Great Evolution Sword Immortal''s subordinate.

    However, Xu Han had never been in the habit of being slaughtered by others.

    ''"I want to kill you. Even if you escaped from the Exquisite Pavilion, I can still take your head from a thousand miles away. So…" Xu Han''s abnormal appearance naturally could not be concealed from the eyes of this Sword Dao Grandmaster. He gently looked at Xu Han and said indifferently. Then, he turned around and walked towards a house in the mansion.

    "So, you should come and talk to me."

    Zhong Changhen walked away very easily without the slightest bit of precaution, as if he wasn''t worried that Xu Han would escape.

    In fact, it was exactly as he had said. Even if Xu Han had escaped from the Exquisite Pavilion, it would not be difficult for him to catch up with Zhong Changhen with his ability.

    Therefore, after a slight hesitation, Xu Han put away his thoughts of escaping. Whether Zhong Changhen was an enemy or a friend, it was still good to talk about it first. Moreover, if he really wanted to harm them, why would he let Chen Xuanji deliver a letter to his door? Wouldn''t it be better to make a direct move instead of saving a lot of trouble?

    Thinking of this, Xu Han took a deep breath and calmed down the panic in his heart. Then, he followed Zhong Changhen''s footsteps.

    …

    The two people in the room sat opposite to each other on the short couch.

    Xu Han''s gaze was gloomy, and his expression was exceptionally vigilant.

    In contrast, the Great Evolution Sword Immortal was much more relaxed.

    "Senior, why did you come looking for me?" Seeing that Zhong Changhen had no intention of speaking, Xu Handuan couldn''t stand the silent atmosphere and took the lead to ask.

    "Zhu Mang told me about you." Zhong Changhen did not answer the question.

    Hearing this, Xu Han was stunned. He was already surprised. If Zhong Changhen had only seen through his roots when they met this time, with Zhong Changhen''s cultivation, although it was a bit strange, it was normal. However, he had already invited him earlier, which was obviously unreasonable. Putting aside Xu Han''s foundation, he was still only a guest. Even if he had the identity of Ye Hongjian''s fiance, he wouldn''t let the Great Evolution Sword Immortal invite him personally. At this moment, it sounded like it had something to do with Ning Zhumang. Thinking of this, Xu Han''s heart calmed down a little. After all, the contact with Ning Zhumang did not seem to have any intention of harming him. Instead, he was protecting him everywhere. Although he did not know why he told Zhong Changhen, he thought that since Ning Zhumang had done so much before, there was no reason to harm him at this moment.

    "Then what does Senior want to do after knowing this?" Xu Han asked in a deep voice. Even though he understood the reason behind the matter, he still hadn''t completely put down his guard against the old man in front of him.

    "Nothing, I just want to give you a reason to stay in the Exquisite Pavilion." The old man narrowed his eyes. At that time, something was placed on the table in front of the two of them. Then, it was pushed in front of Xu Han.

    It was a book, a somewhat old book with yellow pages.

    When Xu Han saw the four big words on the title page, even with Xu Han''s temperament, he couldn''t help but tremble, and his face was filled with shock.

    "This is the Thousand Words Sword Scripture?" He couldn''t help but shout softly. Even though he tried his best to keep himself shocked, at this moment, his breath became uncontrollably heavy.

    The Thousand Words Sword Scripture was the supreme cultivation method of the Shedding Body Linglong Pavilion, the Universal Scripture. However, after several generations of improvement, it had long since become one of its own. In the entire world, it was also one of the world''s top sword cultivation methods. According to this method, the Linglong Pavilion had produced countless Sword Immortal powerhouses.

    And now, this sword technique that could be compared to the Great Evolution Sword Technique was placed in front of Xu Han. No wonder he was unable to control himself for a while.

    "Senior?" However, Xu Han had a good temperament after all. After a short period of shock, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhong Changhen. Although the Thousand Words Sword Scripture was good, the Great Evolution Sword Technique that Canghai passed down to him wasn''t lacking in the slightest. There were some things that he couldn''t chew on. Xu Han still had some understanding of his talent, so when he came to his senses from his shock, he suppressed the greed in his heart.

    "Don''t you want to learn?" Zhong Changhen raised his eyebrows at that time, as if he was very surprised that Xu Han could wake up in such a short period of time.

    "People in this world, if you give, you ask." Xu Han smiled faintly.

    "Senior, since you have given me such a bargaining chip as the Thousand Words Sword Scripture … I secretly speculate …"

    "Thinking about it, what Senior wants is definitely enough for me to seduce him with my life."

    "As for me, I cherish my life very much, so I don''t dare to dream of it."

    Xu Han''s answer exceeded Zhong Changhen''s expectations. The Great Evolution Sword Immortal''s eyes immediately lit up with interest.

    "Then don''t you want to hear my request first?"

    "Senior is a Sword Dao Grandmaster. If you are willing to speak, I will naturally listen respectfully." Xu Han nodded and said. His attitude was respectful, but he was neither humble nor arrogant, which made Zhong Changhen unable to find anything wrong.

    He secretly nodded in his heart, but his face remained calm as he looked at Xu Han and said.

    "Let me teach you swordsmanship."

    Xu Han had thought of many things Zhong Changhen wanted, such as the whereabouts of the Vast Ocean Stream and where the Heavenly Punishment Sword was. However, he never expected Zhong Changhen to say such a thing.

    Xu Han had already made the matter clear. Since Zhong Changhen had taken out such a heavy bargaining chip, he would definitely ask for something.

    And Xu Han was not a mountain villager, so he would not believe that the good news of losing the pie on this day would fall on his head. Since Zhong Changhen had said this, Xu Han could not find any words to describe his current mood except that he found it inconceivable.

    He frowned and looked at Zhong Changhen, but Zhong Changhen smiled at him.

    Seeing that the other party did not seem to have any intention of changing his tone, Xu Han pondered for a moment before finally asking, "Senior, do you think I am that easy to bully?"

    "Of course not." Zhong Changhen shook his head as if he had expected Xu Han to ask such a question. He looked at Xu Han with an extremely serious expression and said, "It is precisely because I heard Zhu Mang talk about your temperament that I do not intend to beat around the bush with you. What I said just now is exactly what I asked for. There is not the slightest bit of nonsense."

    Zhong Changhen''s tone and expression were indeed extremely serious, and Xu Han also felt that there was no need for the other party to fabricate such a ridiculous lie in an attempt to deceive him. However, he still couldn''t believe the old man he had met for the first time.

    "Why?" He asked with a calm voice and a frown.

    This matter was still too unimaginable. No matter how loud Zhong Changhen''s name was or how confident he swore, Xu Han was still unable to dispel the doubts in his heart.

    The old man had clearly anticipated Xu Han''s question.

    A terrifying sword light burst out from his turbid eyes at that time. He looked straight at Xu Han, his hoarse voice, and said word by word.

    "For my master."

    "The master who was personally killed by me!"
