Xiao WuYe's Sudden Contact

Watching Gu Qingya leave Langya Pavilion, Xiao Han was somewhat surprised. This Ancient Races really had some sense, as they didn't interfere with the Langya Pavilion.

If that's the case, Xiao Han will let the other party experience the "hospitality" of their Langya Pavilion.

However, Xiao Han's original idea of taking action against Shadow Prison had to be put on hold for the time being. After causing such a commotion, it would be difficult to explain if he were to strike Shadow Prison again.

"Hmm!" Xiao Han nodded silently to himself, "Let those rats live a few more days!"

Returning to the Langya Realm, looking around, only a few Elder were still maintaining the daily operations of the Langya Pavilion.

While Xiao Han was talking with Gu Qingya, Ye Jianxin and Yi Huang had already gone to Sound Valley to propose marriage.

Xiao Han couldn't help but sigh inwardly; this commotion was quite significant.

As soon as he turned around, Xiao Han caught sight of a dazed figure. Xiao Han chuckled and said, "Sheng Han, you've been thrown down here."

Hearing Xiao Han's teasing voice, Ye Shenghan turned around and bowed, saying, "Senior Uncle!"

The expression on his face could be as serious as he wanted.

He then began to explain seriously, "Aunt Huang said that Xin'er and I cannot see each other before the official wedding, so..."

Ye Shenghan didn't finish speaking, but Xiao Han understood what he meant. Yi Huang valued these kinds of rules quite a bit, except, of course, when he and Yi Huang got married.

Even if these rules seem pointless, people already have children, so what's the point of having so many rules?

Looking at his serious and rigid nephew in front of him, Xiao Han felt that he needed to give the latter some premarital enlightenment. He wondered how his junior nephew had fallen for this silly goose.

"Sheng Han..." Xiao Han said earnestly, "Don't always have such a stern face towards Xin'er..."

Xiao Han was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed, and he stopped the words that were about to come out.

"Until your father and the others return, Langya Pavilion will be temporarily managed by you and Xiao Wu."

The Langya Pavilion should be much more peaceful recently. Ye Shenghan and Xiao Wu have both broken through to the Dou Sheng and have begun to take over some of the Langya Pavilion's affairs. Maintaining the Langya Pavilion for a few days should not be a big problem.

Then, Xiao Han felt a little uneasy and specifically reminded him, "Keep an eye on Xiao Wu for your senior uncle."

"My senior master needs to leave for a while."

Before Ye Shenghan could answer, Xiao Han immediately disappeared.

This series of actions took less than ten seconds, leaving Ye Shenghan stunned on the spot.

Half a day later, Xiao Han appeared with a solemn expression on the summit of a mountain range in the Southern Region of Central Plains.

At that moment, he saw an ordinary-looking figure, the kind that would be easily lost in a crowd.

"Ancestor!" As soon as Xiao Han appeared, this person hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects. Just from this address, one could easily know the other party's identity as a member of the Xiao clan.

"Wu Ye, what brings you to meet me in person?" Xiao Han asked, frowning.

In fact, Xiao Zhan was not the most powerful person in the Xiao Clan family. Almost all of the Xiao Clan's true experts were gathered in Central Plains.

Xiao WuYe is the most fortunate person in the Xiao Clan, and even Xiao Han, who has a knack for attracting wealth, is quite envious of his opportunities.

If Xiao Han can encounter treasures just by walking around, then Xiao WuYe can obtain a legacy simply by jumping off a cliff.

It has only been twenty years since Xiao WuYe came to Central Plains, and he has encountered several inheritances that match his Dou Qi attributes.

Five years ago, he was extremely fortunate to obtain the complete inheritance of a Dou Sheng Expert who was known as the Shadow Killing Saint thousands of years ago. The cultivation included in the inheritance allowed Xiao WuYe to jump from Five Star Dou Zun to Half-Saint level in just over a year without any obstacles.

Then, with the addition of a Saint Ascension Pill given to him by Xiao Han, he easily advanced to the Dou Sheng level, becoming one of the three strongest members of the Xiao Clan besides Xiao Han. As for the other two, they were also enviable figures.

However, none of that mattered; Xiao Han was quite displeased.

The Xiao Clan is extremely special in Central Plains, and Xiao Han has recently received considerable attention. They have been secretly communicating with each other without tacit understanding.

This time, Xiao WuYe unusually took the initiative to see him, which Xiao Han originally thought meant that some big trouble had arisen that needed his help.

However, when he rushed over, he saw that the other party looked radiant and seemed to be living a very comfortable life. Was he just here to play a trick on him?

Seeing Xiao Han's displeasure and confusion, Xiao WuYe immediately explained, "I have taken the liberty of contacting you, Ancestor, because I need your help with something."

"What is it?" Xiao Han asked, puzzled.

Xiao WuYe is now a Dou Sheng, and a Dou Sheng who is also skilled in assassination. If he is well prepared, he may even be able to assassinate a two-star or even Three-Star Dou Sheng.

Apart from those old monsters, almost no one in the entire Central Plains could rival him, and he really couldn't guess what trouble Xiao WuYe would encounter.

However, Xiao WuYe's next words made Xiao Han feel that destiny was on his side!

Xiao WuYe solemnly said, "I hope that you, Ancestor, can help me gain a foothold in Shadow Prison!"

Xiao Han's heart skipped a beat upon hearing the name: "Shadow Prison?!"

Tell me more!

"Yes!"

Xiao WuYe then recounted in detail his grudges and entanglements with Shadow Prison.

In fact, this is closely related to the legacy of that Dark Night Killing Saint.

When Xiao WuYe received the other party's inheritance, he also inherited some of the former's items, including a strangely shaped purple-gold dagger.

Xiao WuYe, who had been mingling in Central Plains for many years, recognized the meaning of the dagger at first glance—it was proof of his identity as Shadow Prison Assassin.

The power and mystery of Shadow Prison are well known, and it also has some extremely strange rules.

Firstly, Shadow Prison only checks identification documents, not the person, when accepting assassin missions. In other words, even if you kill a Shadow Prison Assassin and obtain their identification documents, you can take their place later.

Xiao WuYe naturally thought the same way. As a rogue cultivator with no ties, joining Shadow Prison would be more beneficial than harmful to him.

However, he wasn't so stubborn. After all, it was an extremely rare purple-gold dagger. He guessed that this Shadow Killing Saint was not an ordinary Gold Badge Assassin in the Shadow Prison, but probably held a very high position.

The moment the other party's identification appears, you'll most likely come into the Shadow Prison's sights.

Therefore, he was also advancing to the Dou Sheng level, and only joined the Shadow Prison last year after he had gained a certain level of confidence.

However, events have shown that Xiao WuYe still greatly underestimated the status of that Shadow Killing Saint.

When he took the Purple-Gold Dagger to an office in Shadow Prison and revealed his identity, within just two hours, five masked figures exuding a terrifying aura appeared before him.

The Shadow Killing Saint, one of the founding elders of Shadow Prison, holds a very special position. He disappeared for unknown reasons many years ago, and Shadow Prison has never given up searching for him.

If Xiao WuYe hadn't been a successor of the Shadow Killing Saint, his life would probably have ended the moment he was surrounded.

However, this was only the beginning of trouble. Due to the prolonged disappearance of the Shadow Killing Saint, and after a fruitless search, the other party is now preparing to re-select a strong individual to enter the Elder Seat.

Xiao WuYe's sudden appearance clearly infringed upon the interests of a significant portion of the Shadow Prison, but since the former was legitimate and possessed considerable strength, both sides ultimately compromised.

"So..." Xiao Han said doubtfully, "You want to duel with the winner, how can I help you?"

Xiao Han was also glad that Xiao WuYe was cautious. If the latter hadn't joined Shadow Prison at the beginning, instead of at the Mid-Stage One-Star Dou Saint, he probably would have been eliminated by now.

But Xiao Han was powerless to do anything about it; how could he possibly interfere with the selection of personnel for Shadow Prison?

However, Xiao WuYe said with absolute certainty, "Ancestor, you can definitely help me."

He then began to explain in a serious tone, with words constantly flowing from Xiao WuYe's mouth, causing Xiao Han's lips to curl into an exaggerated smile.
