Supreme Sword Sovereign-Chapter 66 – Mysterious Azure Cloud Pavilion

Under the puzzled gazes of the two men,

Gu Han's expression remained calm as he nonchalantly stowed the barely touched spiritual food into his storage ring.

"This is good stuff."

Seeing the two staring at him, he explained.

"It can't go to waste."

"..."

The corners of their mouths twitched violently.

After a long while,

"Sigh..."

Minister Wu let out a wry smile.

"This kid, he's really unfathomable."

"Interesting!"

Minister Feng laughed heartily.

"I'm starting to like him! Forget it, let's head back too. Commander Zhou should be back by now."

"That sounds good, so let's... Wait a minute!"

Minister Wu seemed to suddenly remember something, his expression turning odd.

"Did we... forget something?"

"Now that you mention it, I also..."

Suddenly,

The two men looked at each other and exclaimed in unison: "Yuan Crystals!"

Earlier,

When Gu Han was distributing Yuan Crystals... he had left them out.

"Sly!"

"Crafty!"

"Let's get them from him!"

"Fine, you go!"

"Why don't you go?"

"I can't swallow my pride!"

"You can't, but I can?"

"..."

Amidst their argument,

The two gradually walked away.

Leaving behind... a group of people who had lost everything, looking as if they had lost their souls.

"Let's go."

Han Fu didn't even glance at them as he prepared to leave.

"Instructor Han."

He Zhong sighed.

"They..."

"Fair wager, naturally they must accept the loss. It was their own choice, no one else to blame!"

"Yes, I understand."

"Instructor Han!"

From behind,

Mei Yun's enthusiastic voice reached them.

"Shall we go together?"

Hearing this,

Han Fu's pace suddenly doubled!

"..."

Mei Yun felt like crying again.

It seemed like his luck hadn't changed at all from before...

***

At this moment,

Inside the back residence,

Du Teng was uncharacteristically grim, his face so dark it seemed water might drip from it, yet he remained silent.

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

"Uncle Master."

Jiang Hong braced himself and said, "I will make him pay for this!"

"You?"

Du Teng's face was expressionless.

"Forget it!"

Although he was unclear about Gu Han's exact strength, he was well aware of the terror of Azure Cloud Pavilion and understood that anyone they took interest in was no weakling.

At this point, he had no hope for Jiang Hong.

"..."

Jiang Hong's face turned beet red.

"Old Du."

Yu Hua gritted his teeth.

"This boy is extremely arrogant and doesn't take you seriously at all. He must not be spared!"

Du Teng glanced at him but said nothing.

The atmosphere grew even heavier.

"In a few days,"

After a long pause, he suddenly brought up another matter, "it will be the Martial Academy's trial, deep into the Barbaric Wilderness Forest... Heh!"

"Old Du."

Yu Hua seemed to realize something.

"Are you saying..."

"I didn't say anything."

Du Teng's eyes were deep as he slowly stood up, "How to handle this, you can discuss among yourselves. Whatever you need, you can ask Tian Heng. As for the rest, I will not inquire!"

With that,

He actually stood up and left.

"Casualties?"

Jiang Yi's face showed a cold light.

"Indeed, every Martial Academy trial, there are always some unlucky ones who die in the Barbaric Wilderness Forest!"

"Great idea!"

Chen Fang's eyes lit up.

"Making a move in the Barbaric Wilderness Forest is undetectable, and all blame can be pushed onto the demonic beasts!"

This gamble,

Both had bet all their fortunes, hoping to make a windfall, but ended up losing everything, naturally hating Gu Han to the core.

"The plan is good."

Yu Hua frowned slightly.

"The Martial Academy trial, with three deputy heads present, Commander Zhou is easy to deal with, but the other two... it might be hard to deceive them!"

"No matter!"

Jiang Hong suddenly spoke up.

"I'll talk to Commander Zhou. When the time comes, we'll find an excuse to distract them!"

Defeated by Gu Han,

And continuously mocked by Old Du,

His pride and self-esteem were shattered.

The interest in defeating Gu Han head-on had faded.

He just wanted Gu Han dead!

"Excellent!"

Yu Hua was overjoyed.

"Just to be safe, I'll discuss with Pavilion Master Tian. This time... he must not be allowed to return alive!"

***

Inside the inn,

Seeing Fatty and the others enter the Heavenly Grade Room as if they owned the place, Murong Chuan was speechless.

You guys...

Really treat this place like your own home!

"Senior."

Gu Han didn't notice his expression and took out a storage ring.

"Here are ten million Yuan Crystals..."

Huh?

Murong Chuan perked up.

Could it be...

This kid, after staying for free for so many days, has had a change of heart and wants to compensate me?

Soon,

He realized he was wrong.

"Senior."

Gu Han was earnest.

"These Yuan Crystals, please pass them to Brother Chen, tell him, whether it's medicinal pills, spiritual herbs, or anything else that can replenish Soul Force, no matter the cost, he must help me purchase them!"

"..."

Murong Chuan, who was initially disdainful, sighed inwardly.

Sigh...

This kid.

Rather than spending a single Yuan Crystal, he's willing to shamelessly freeload off the Heavenly Grade Room, but he's willing to spend so much for a girl...

He's got heart!

"It's a small matter."

He nodded.

"I'll just tell Qian Liu later."

Such a small favor,

He would help whether it was once or twice, naturally, he wouldn't refuse.

Moreover,

He couldn't bear to refuse.

"Thank you, Senior!"

Gu Han bowed solemnly.

"By the way,"

Murong Chuan felt a bit sentimental.

"Ten million Yuan Crystals... haha, where did you get them?"

"I won them!"

Gu Han was somewhat proud.

He didn't hide anything and told Murong Chuan about the banquet.

"Poison pill?"

Murong Chuan's eyes widened.

"This Du Teng is quite famous in Jade Lifting Sect, not for his cultivation level, but for his unpredictable poison skills! You ate his poison pill... didn't die, and even broke through?"

"Senior."

Gu Han started to bluff again.

"I think, I must be the legendary body immune to all poisons!"

"..."

Murong Chuan's lips twitched.

Being from the Murong Family, his knowledge was naturally higher than that of Wu and Feng.

Body immune to all poisons?

You just made up that name, didn't you!

He was somewhat skeptical.

"Du Teng is sinister and vicious, he never lets go of those he resents. You made him lose face so badly, even with those two around, he shouldn't have let you leave so easily."

"I think,"

Gu Han pondered.

"It must have something to do with Azure Cloud Pavilion."

"Azure Cloud Pavilion!"

Murong Chuan was shocked.

"They approached you?"

"They said they want to give me a test."

"No wonder!"

Murong Chuan was filled with emotion.

"No wonder even Du Teng didn't dare to touch you. Being noticed by them is like having a natural protective talisman!"

"Senior."

Gu Han was curious.

"Do you know a lot about Azure Cloud Pavilion?"

"I can't say I know much."

Murong Chuan shook his head.

"I'm not a member of Jade Lifting Sect, and I only know what the young miss has told me. This Azure Cloud Pavilion is very special within Jade Lifting Sect. Although there are only a few members, each one is far stronger than the likes of Jiang Hong! As for the true details of Azure Cloud Pavilion... I'm afraid only the elders know!"

"So mysterious?"

Gu Han pursed his lips.

"No wonder they want to test me and didn't even give a heads-up."

"Be content."

Murong Chuan glanced at him.

"I've been in the Great Qi Dynasty for so many years, and you're the first person they've actively sought to test. Others can't even beg for such an opportunity, and you're complaining."

"Senior."

Gu Han stroked his chin.

"I always feel... that Azure Cloud Pavilion and I might clash."

"..."

Murong Chuan turned and walked away.

Talking to this kind of person is too uninteresting!

Just as he was about to go upstairs, he seemed to remember something and paused for a moment.

"By the way, there's one more thing about Azure Cloud Pavilion."

"What?"

"There seems to be a madman in there!"

"A madman?"

Gu Han was startled.

"Who?"

"I'm not sure."

Murong Chuan shook his head.

"Once, the young miss returned to the family with serious injuries, and it was said to be at the hands of that madman. Moreover, the young miss said... that person is a true madman!"

A madman?

Gu Han was a bit surprised.

Although he didn't know the exact cultivation level of Murong Yan, he was well aware of her divine power.

Someone who could make her suffer must be terrifyingly strong!

But...

What does that have to do with being mad?

Just as he was about to ask more, where could he see Murong Chuan's figure?

"Senior."

He pursed his lips and deliberately called out.

"That ten million Yuan Crystals I gave you, I exchanged them with my life, so please don't take any kickbacks!"

Upstairs,

Murong Chuan, who was instructing Qian Liu, stiffened.

"Remember."

He instructed with a deadpan expression, "Record exactly how much is spent, not a single Yuan Crystal can be missing, understood?"

"Yes! Yes!"

Qian Liu was sweating profusely in fear.

***

In the Heavenly Grade Room,

Fatty had said something to anger Manager Li and was being chased around for a beating.

On the side,

Ah-Sha and Jiang Feng watched with great interest.

Gu Han pretended not to see, instructed the two a few words, and then entered a quiet room, taking out all the remaining resources on his body.

After this incident,

He felt the urgency of time even more.

Whether it was the test from Azure Cloud Pavilion or the threat from Du Teng and the others, he needed strong power to cope. Relying on others was only a temporary solution; true strength came from within.

With that thought,

He stuffed several spiritual herbs into his mouth and closed his eyes.

The spiritual energy in the Heavenly Grade Room was already rich, and now with the addition of a large number of Yuan Crystals, it almost turned into a spiritual mist, completely concealing his figure.

As one acupoint barrier after another was broken,

His cultivation level,

Also began to climb at a very stable pace.
