The man looked at Shen Nian with interest and said, "It depends on how you choose."
What is extremely strange is that he is standing on the driftwood and does not seem to be moving faster, but the position between him and the boat seems to have suddenly become closer.
"We are already involved, and judging from this man's attitude, he doesn't want anyone to escape."
Lin Wangbei looked at the man in the sea and shook his head at the general behind him, "With this man's cultivation level, even if he wants to escape, it will be difficult for him to escape."
When he and the few troops who followed him left Jiankang and fled to the sea, Helan Heiyun had not yet spread the things about Emperor You's descendants to the world. Not much is known about what happened later, but the cultivation level of Hai Hai was too high. Even if a person with this kind of cultivation level is far away from the Three Saints of Nantian, it seems to be far higher than any spiritual realm practitioner.
And this man in the sea is obviously not one of the famous strong men in the world.
Such a person calls this young man his master, and the enemies he encountered before seem to be more powerful than this man in the sea.
Although he did not know at this time that the enemy Shen Nian had encountered before was the Demon Sect, but to him, this was a huge cloud of doubt, which was higher than the ordinary human world and the world of practitioners. Such doubts, for the Southern Dynasty, It seemed to be a huge threat to the entire world, more important than his wandering to the border army, and he wanted to find out what was going on.
"I don't know who you are, but since the practitioner who has been by your side to support you has died, and the father who arranged everything for you is no longer in the world, then the only person you can rely on is yourself. .”
He said softly to Shen Nian in front of him: "You must be stronger. If cowardice is also death, and pride is death, then at least you should be proud in front of the enemy."
Lin Wangbei and his subordinates certainly have their own pride.
On the battlefield, even when victory is certain, those proud frontier soldiers will fight to the end.
"Thanks."
Such a voice struck Shen Nian's mind like the chaotic energy of the stars. He felt that such a voice was useful to him. He sincerely thanked him again, then took a deep breath and looked at the driftwood. A man said, "I don't understand what you mean."
Compared to Shen Nian at this moment, the man on the driftwood looked even prouder.
Although he was wearing very ordinary clothes, he had his hands behind his back and had the aura of controlling the world.
His face was also very unfamiliar to Shen Nian, because like many people, Shen Nian was only familiar with their auras and their true essence, but there were many of them that Shen Nian had never seen before.
This man was thought to be dead many years ago. The monk mentioned his name to Shen Nian back then, but the time was so far apart that Shen Nian couldn't even remember his name at this time.
"Why didn't you ask me first why I was able to find your whereabouts and track you down here?" The man did not answer Shen Nian's question immediately, but asked calmly.
Shen Nian calmed down a little.
He did not think carefully about the other party's words. What was swirling in his mind at this time were Lin Wangbei's words instead.
He thought of the monk in white's decisive blow before his death.
He thought again of the Demon Sect's determination when it dealt that blow to him.
He was a little ashamed.
"Why can you chase me here?"
He looked at the man and nodded, and said truthfully: "What's your name? It's been so long, I don't even remember your name."
The man on the driftwood was slightly startled. He seemed to think about this issue for a moment, and then he said, "Aren't you afraid that this will appear too dismissive and make me feel a little bit humiliated?"
Shen Nian was silent for a moment, and then said: "I can't control your feelings, and since many years ago, it seems that you will no longer be influenced by me."
The man on the driftwood slowly raised his head. Shen Nian's words didn't seem to cause any change in his mood.
But the distance between him and the big ship seemed to be getting closer in an even weirder instant, so much so that ordinary boatmen on the ship could easily see the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes.
"My name is Gao Huan."
The man looked at the faint flowing clouds in the sky above the big ship. He seemed to be recalling, "Many years ago, when I was still in the Northern Wei Dynasty, someone suddenly found me, appreciated my talents and talents, and passed them on to me who was superior to those at that time. Of course I am grateful for all the skills from the Northern Wei sect, but what happened next has always made me feel extremely humiliated, because the person who said he appreciated my talents and talents at the time did not say that I practiced After you have practiced the technique to a certain level, I will continue to dedicate my true energy to you during my practice."
Shen Nian bit his lip and said softly: "I don't know how you obtained the technique."
The man who called himself Gao Huan laughed with emotion and said: "Of course you didn't know that at that time, you were just a swaddling baby when I obtained the skills, but when I started to dedicate to you When you were in Zhenyuan, you were just a child who had just started practicing cultivation. But what could be more humiliating to me than this? Even if I didn’t practice your martial arts, in the Northern Wei Dynasty, I was destined to be the object of competition among many sects. , with my talent and hard work, I must be one of the people with the highest cultivation level in the Northern Wei Dynasty. However, a person like me is actually enslaved by a child who has just been exposed to it. "
"I know that I can't influence your thoughts, but I am certain that no matter how extraordinary your talent is, and even if you have inherited the best skills among the Northern Wei sects at that time, you will not be as powerful as you are today." Shen Nian. Taking a deep breath, he looked at Gao Huan, "So it's not an accident, but it took you many years to finally cut off contact with me, but in this case, according to you, you got it again You have powerful cultivation techniques and you don’t need to be enslaved by me, so why are you so dissatisfied?"
Lin Wangbei and several of his subordinates glanced at each other, and they all saw the deep shock in each other's eyes.
Whether it is Shen Nian or this man named Gao Huan, they actually said that the best skills among all the Northern Wei sects are not as good as the skills practiced by Gao Huan, but the skills practiced by Gao Huan must be The constant supply of true energy to this young man was completely beyond their knowledge.
"Of course it's not an accident, and of course I will be dissatisfied because it took me many years of hard work to finally find a way to cut off contact with you. For people like me, the first half of my life seems to have been spent on this matter." Gao Huan He laughed self-deprecatingly, "The most important thing is that even if I cut off contact with you, I still can't walk in the world openly, because if you find out that I am still alive, someone will naturally come to kill me."
Shen Nian's face turned pale again, not because of fear, but because he couldn't argue.
"You are too young, and in your opinion, everything seems to be taken for granted. You don't care about the thoughts of those who provide you with true energy every day. But the fact is, I am afraid that many people will not be willing to accept this. In fact, many people have the same idea as me, but they are not as good as me. They cannot understand the method of cutting off, or in other words, they are not courageous enough to challenge their own destiny."
Gao Huan looked at Shen Nian with sarcasm and said, "I'm afraid you still don't understand. Your father asked Tian Chanzi to protect you while wandering in the sea. Was it because he was afraid of external enemies at the beginning? What he was afraid of was only those like Someone like me."
"Many people should have thought that the way to completely change their destiny is to completely exterminate the mother body with skills like yours, or to take your place and become the real mother body." Gao Huan then said slowly.
When he finished speaking, he had reached the vicinity of the ship, and the waves beneath him surged.
The waves only rose to a height of several feet, but his body rose into the air very smoothly and landed on the bow of the ship.
"So it's not a coincidence."
He looked at Shen Nian with a smile and said: "After I found a way to cut off the contact with you, I quietly came to the sea. Like you, I have been wandering on the sea for many years, and even many times, I have secretly spied on your shells many times, and I have been looking for and waiting for such an opportunity."
Shen Nian lowered his head.
He felt even more sorry for the white-robed monk.
Listening to this man's story, he truly understood that if this man hadn't been unable to defeat the white-robed monk, he might have already encountered something unexpected.
"Over the years, I have thought of countless ways, and I have been looking for the whereabouts of the Nine Nether King Sword that was born today. In my opinion, as long as my cultivation level can surpass Tian Chanzi, or as long as I can get With this imperial sword, I can defeat Tian Chanzi." Gao Huan continued with emotion: "It's just that I didn't expect that after all, there would be another person who wanted to defeat his own destiny, and that person would be better than Tian Chanzi and me. Everyone must be strong, and today, that person should have found the legendary iron coffin and obtained the Nine Netherworld King Sword. But it doesn’t matter, I finally got you."
"It's really hard. I spent countless efforts to crack the technique that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. It has been lurking in the sea for many years, but we didn't notice it at all." Shen Nian looked at Gao Huan and said, "So In that storm, you were actually there."
Gao Huan nodded and said: "That person is too powerful, I don't want to take risks, my target is only you, so in the storm, I only follow your traces, but the only surprise is that this person discovered Jiu If I had known the location of the Netherworld King's Sword earlier, I would have tried to kill him even if I took the risk."
Shen Nian sneered, "So your idea is to get the skills I practice from me?"
Gao Huan laughed and said: "You finally understand what I mean. I can let you live well and continue to be my nominal master, but you must make a real contribution."
Shen Nian looked at Gao Huan and said, "Do you want me to be your puppet to help you hide it from the rest of the people and give you enough time to become stronger than any of them?"
Gao Huan stopped his smile, looked at him seriously, and said coldly: "I don't want you to refuse my proposal."
"Do you think you can truly control your own destiny in this way?" Shen Nian sneered and said, "Haven't you ever thought about how the person who got the Nine Nether Hades Sword today locked my Qi? Even if I really Even if he accepts your proposal, he won't give you enough time to grow, and you will be nothing more than his prey."
"Thank you for your kindness."
Gao Huan looked at him indifferently and said: "It's just that I'm much older than you, so I will be more realistic than you. Before considering whether the treasure in my hand is hot, I will try to get the treasure in my hands first. And... Since I can cut off the Qi connection with you, I think maybe I can also find a way to escape from his perception."
After a pause, he continued with strong confidence, "The key is that I am much stronger than you now. As long as you hand over your skills to me, in this era of spiritual desolation, as long as I have continuous With my true energy replenished, there is no way he can kill me."
Shen Nian laughed.
He is really happy.
He was somewhat grateful to Lin Wangbei, because Lin Wangbei was right, people should maintain their pride at all times.
Moreover, this conversation with Gao Huan made him feel that there was no way to become an enemy of the Demon Sect, because since Gao Huan could cut off the Qi connection with him and find a way to change the technique, he might also be able to.
As long as you have the courage, there will always be a way.
Just like now, even if he really doesn't have much real energy in his body, he still feels that he may not die in Gao Huan's hands.
"I originally thought that I only knew how to practice in the past, and my thoughts were really naive, but now it seems to me that you are even more naive than me." He looked at Gao Huan with a smile and said.
Gao Huan was slightly startled, his brows furrowed unconsciously.
He didn't understand the meaning of Shen Nian's words.
Shen Nian looked at him and continued mockingly: "How could you be so naive as to think that... I will follow your wishes, obey your arrangements, and tell you all the techniques I know?"
Gao Huan's expression suddenly changed. He suddenly realized that this young man did not seem to be as willful and useless as he thought. His eyes instantly turned cold and he said in a cold voice: "Even if you don't want to, I still have many ways to pry you open." You can use your mouth, but then you will probably be worse than dead."
"You and I will advance and retreat together. He has said so much that he will not let anyone leave alive easily. I will lend you some real energy when the time comes." Shen Nian did not talk to him anymore, but turned his head and looked behind him. Lin Wangbei said this.
Lin Wangbei and others had no time to respond. At this time, Gao Huan suddenly thought of a possibility. Before Shen Nian's voice disappeared, a murderous intention had already fallen directly towards Lin Wangbei behind Shen Nian.
He can be sure that Shen Nian has almost no real energy in his body at this time, and there is no threat to him. In this case, as long as Lin Wangbei and others are killed first, Shen Nian can completely cut off the use of Lin Wangbei and others. of true essence.(To be continued)
