The successor of Xicheng Mountain Cave!
The impact of this news was no less than that of Lu Zhenyang's Yang Spirit Exceptional Realm.
I had never expected that in just a few months, Han Wennan would become the successor of Xicheng Mountain Cave, one of the Ten Great Caves, from a young master of an ordinary family.
Fourth Uncle Han was referring to Han Wennan when he said he was blessed by others, right?
Although Han Wennan's talent was outstanding, the Blessed Enclave had no lack of people with extraordinary talent. Take Lv Huang for example. Compared to Han Wennan, Lv Huang's talent wasn't too far off.
I could see with my Insight Power that Han Wennan was just at the Seal Celestial Master Realm.
In the Blessed Enclave, the Seal Celestial Master was the most basic power.
With the power of a Seal Celestial Master, he had climbed to the position of successor of Xicheng Mountain Cave. What had Han Wennan done?
Then, Officer Wang asked the question in my mind. "Palace Master Han, you have such a high position at such a young age. Besides your talent, you must have contributed a lot to Xicheng Mountain, right?"
Han Wennan's expression was a bit complicated. After a wry smile, he shook his head and answered, "I'm ashamed to say that I haven't contributed anything to the family. After I left Brother Zhou in the mausoleum of the Shang Dynasty, I was lucky to escape. When I woke up, I was in Xicheng Mountain Cave and became the Palace Master of the Soul Suppressing Palace."
Although he was answering Officer Wang's question, he turned to look at me.
There were too many strange things in the mausoleum of the Shang Dynasty. After Lu Zhenyang sacrificed himself, he looked neither human nor ghost. As for Han Wennan, I thought he must have died in the Blood Sacrifice Well. Since Lu Zhenyang had escaped, it was not surprising that Han Wennan survived.
I nodded and asked him, "Lu Zhenyang also appeared in the Allheaven Grand Competition today.
Brother Han and Lu Zhenyang entered the Blood Sacrifice Well together in the Yinshang Royal Mausoleum.
As far as I know, you two are the only people who came out of the Blood Sacrifice Well.
What happened to you in the well? "
On the surface, I just asked out of curiosity, but in fact, I stared at Han Wennan's expression.
Nangong had told me that he had met Lu Zhenyang in the Blood Sacrifice Well, but he hadn't mentioned Han Wennan.
The Blood Sacrifice Well was strange. It was possible that they had entered different spaces and hadn't met each other. However, I purposely asked. On one hand, I wanted to find out what had happened in the Blood Sacrifice Well. On the other hand, I wanted to test Han Wennan to see if he was lying to me.
Han Wennan has always been a straightforward person, and he doesn't have much enmity towards me.
But just like when he attacked me in the underground cellar in Shenzhen, the family behind him stood on the opposite side of me.
Han Wennan was also someone who cared a lot about his family's benefits. Thus, I couldn't tell if he was a friend or foe. I could only probe him a bit before making a decision.
Han Wennan's expression remained the same. She shook her head and continued to answer, "I went to investigate after the incident. Indeed, only Lu Zhenyang and I walked out of the Blood Sacrifice Well.
But strangely, when I entered the well, I didn't see Lu Zhenyang or anyone else.
As for me … after I went down, my chest was pierced by an invisible force, and I fainted. "
Then, Han Wennan looked at me and smiled. "Before I fainted, I lowered my head to look at my chest … It was almost the same as the huge wound that you left when you pierced Lu Zhenyang's heart in the Metaphysics Association's arena.
At that time, I thought that I was going to die.
Unexpectedly, when I woke up, not only did I not die, but I also had a fortuitous encounter. "
I frowned, but heaved a sigh of relief in my heart.
I couldn't hear clearly what had happened in the Blood Sacrifice Well from Han Wennan's words. But at least, he didn't lie to me about being with Lu Zhenyang.
So, I deduced that Han Wennan didn't have any evil intentions, so I felt much more at ease.
I nodded and ended the previous topic. "In life, fortune and misfortune come hand in hand. It's normal.
No matter what, as long as the outcome is good, it's a good thing.
Let's not talk about the past. May I know why Palace Lord Han has invited me here today? "
When Han Wennan heard my question, he became silent. After pondering for a moment, he continued, "I'm ashamed to say this. Brother Zhou and I are bosom friends. It's just that because of my standpoint, there was some misunderstanding between us. The reason I invited Brother Zhou here is to apologize to Brother Zhou and bury the hatchet. Secondly, I have something to discuss with Brother Zhou."
Han Wennan was an upright person. Previously, at the Yinshang Royal Tomb, he stood on the side of his family and told me that 'good and evil cannot coexist'. Then, he attacked me.
Because of his attack, Nangong and I were captured. If it wasn't for the appearance of the evil sacrificial spirit, I might not have been able to keep my life.
From this matter, Han Wennan and I should have had a deep grudge against each other. Apologizing was just child's play.
But on the other hand, I knew that Han Wennan had attacked me because he had no other choice. If he had a choice, he would have made the same choice when he deliberately let me go in Shenzhen.
For a moment, I was silent.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Han Wennan sighed and said, "At that time, our Han family encountered an unprecedented crisis. We used all of our family's power to ask the Metaphysics Association for a chance to bring me into the Yinshang Royal Tomb.
The safety of the entire family was on my shoulders. I had no choice. I'm sorry, Brother Zhou. "
From Han Wennan, I learned that the Han family had to give the Metaphysics Association the half of the True Dragon's Vein that they had obtained from Shenzhen so that he could enter the Yinshang Royal Tomb smoothly.
At that time, I had taken the True Dragon's Vein from the Metaphysics Association a long time ago. Although they had tried their best to find a new True Dragon's Vein, they hadn't found anything. Seeing that the Gathering of the Young Phoenix was approaching, the Metaphysics Association couldn't care less about anything else. They could only agree to protect Han Wennan to enter the Yinshang Royal Tomb smoothly in exchange for the half of the True Dragon's Vein.
According to Han Wennan, to enter the Yinshang Royal Tomb, not only did one have to be a Celestial Master, but there were also other stringent conditions.
The Han family of Qinling couldn't do it. Even the Western Mountain Grottoes couldn't do it due to certain restrictions.
I was confused. If the Han family of Qinling couldn't do it, how did Zhang Kanwen and I enter?
After thinking for a while, I recalled the entrance and the few doors that we had encountered.
In the beginning, Zhang Kanwen had temporarily raised his cultivation to the Celestial Master realm to open the door. Later on, when Zhang Kanwen couldn't open the door, I pushed it gently and it opened.
I didn't think much about it then. But now that I thought about it, the reason I could open the door was mostly due to my unique background.
After a long time, I had gotten used to the mysteries of my body. I didn't think too much about it. I just continued to ask Han Wennan, "The Han family went through a lot of trouble to get you such an opportunity. I can understand that you have a heavy burden on your body.
However, I'm curious. The Han family paid a huge price, so they must want something big too. What's their purpose in letting you enter the Yinshang Royal Tomb? "
"Purpose …" Han Wennan smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I don't know what their purpose is. Before I left, my grandfather only told me that I had to get something from the Yinshang Royal Tomb. But no matter how I asked, he didn't tell me what it was. He only said that I would understand when the time came."
I frowned. I couldn't tell if Han Wennan was telling the truth or not. Just as I was about to continue asking, Han Wennan took the initiative to speak.
"In fact, until now, I still don't know what they want. But the amazing thing is that after I went in, I did get that thing."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to remove the clothes covering his chest, revealing his chest. He continued, "I just told you that my chest was pierced in the Blood Sacrifice Well, and I became like Lu Zhenyang.
But the reason I survived wasn't because my heart was deviated. It was because my heart had become like this! "
After lifting the clothes, what was supposed to be his chest was revealed. But when Han Wennan lifted the clothes on his chest, what was revealed was a ball of gentle five-colored light.
The ball of light bloomed on his chest, as if it had replaced his heart. It pulsed along with his breathing.
I stared at the ball of light carefully. Although I couldn't tell what it was, I felt an extremely vigorous vitality from it.
After the light was revealed, the surrounding air seemed to be fresher. Every time I took a breath, I felt that my energy had increased a lot.
Han Wennan covered his clothes again and smiled bitterly, "Until now, I still don't know what it is. But because I got this thing, I knew that the Han family that I had always been proud of was just a branch of the Mountain Heaven's Cave in the West City. It was also because of this thing that our Han family not only survived the crisis, but also returned to the Mountain Heaven's Cave in the West City. And I also got the position of the Palace Master of the Soul Calming Palace!"
Han Wennan's voice seemed to be a little sorrowful. After saying that, the room fell into silence again.
I didn't know what the five-colored light was, but it could make the Han family return to the Mountain Heaven's Cave in the West City, and it could make Han Wennan sit on the position of the Palace Master of the Soul Calming Palace. Naturally, it wasn't a simple thing.
But judging from Han Wennan's expression, his days in the Mountain Heaven's Cave in the West City were not as he wished.
But in life, how many people could have everything they wanted?
I sighed and opened my mouth. I wanted to say 'forgive', but the word 'forgive' was said by a man like me, and it was said to another man. It was a little weird.
After a moment of silence, I wanted to lighten the atmosphere, so I changed the topic and joked, "Brother Han, you said that there was another thing that you asked me to come here for. Why didn't you say anything all of a sudden?
Don't tell me you want me to guess it myself?
Hearing that, Han Wennan seemed to understand what I meant. He smiled and the haze on his face disappeared. He also joked with me, "Then Zhou Yi, why don't you make a guess?
How about this, if you guess correctly, the Mountain Heaven's Cave in the West City will not be enemies with Wangwu Cave in the Allheaven Grand Competition. Moreover, we will do our best to help Wangwu Cave keep its position as the champion. What do you think? "
His words shocked me.
Among the Ten Great Caves, the Mountain Heaven's Cave played an important role.
The Mountain Heaven's Cave in the West City was ranked third. In terms of strength, it was comparable to the Wangwu Cave when Wang Can's father was still alive. Now, it was a peak existence and had a very high chance of fighting for the position of champion. Han Wennan gave up the title of champion just because of a few simple words?
He even wanted to help Wangwu Cave?
I felt that it was absurd. Previously, when Lu Zhenyang said that he would give up the title of champion, I could understand. After all, Spiritual Mountain Blessed Land only relied on him. He had the full power to represent Spiritual Mountain Blessed Land. Moreover, he did have something to ask of me.
However, Han Wennan's position in the Mountain Heaven's Cave in the West City was quite awkward. Yet, he didn't hesitate to give up the title of champion, which was really suspicious.
After pondering for a while, I could only think of one explanation. Han Wennan's request was also very important, and it was possible that the Mountain Heaven's Cave was behind it.
I never doubted Han Wennan's character, but at the same time, I never doubted his loyalty to his family.
From his words, I was worried that the Han family, or rather, the Mountain Heaven's Cave in the West City, had something to do with me.
Next to me, Wang Can looked at me with bright eyes, full of hope.
With the support of the Mountain Heaven's Cave in the West City and Lu Zhenyang's guarantee, it was almost certain that the Wang family would be able to keep the title of champion in the Allheaven Grand Competition.
In his position, he naturally hoped that I could guess it quickly.
However, I knew that it wasn't that simple. My original intention to tease him also disappeared. I ignored Wang Can's gaze and looked at Han Wennan solemnly. I shook my head. "Something that can make the Mountain Heaven's Cave in the West City pay so much must be very important.
I can't guess it. Brother Han, please enlighten me. "
Han Wennan saw that my expression wasn't right and was slightly stunned. Then, he reacted and smiled wryly. "Zhou Yi, don't misunderstand. This has nothing to do with the Han family or the Mountain Heaven's Cave in the West City. It's purely a personal request of mine."
Personal request?
I was even more confused. I still frowned and looked at Han Wennan.
He continued to explain, "Although the Allheaven Grand Competition is related to the distribution of the True Dragon Vein, the Mountain Heaven's Cave in the West City didn't have strict requirements for me. I just need to keep my position as one of the Ten Great Caves.
So, we don't want to fight for the title of champion. Naturally, we can help the Wangwu Cave. Don't think too much. "
After saying that, he didn't wait for me to guess and simply told me what he wanted.
He looked at me with bright eyes and said solemnly, "It's about an old friend. That person is also a friend of yours. She's from the Metaphysics Society … Ye Pianpian!"
Hearing him say that name, my eyes froze.
