Chapter 176: Proud and naïve

The man looked at Shen Nian with interest and said, "It depends on how you choose." ”

Strangely, he stood on the driftwood, seemingly moving at a faster pace, but he and the boat seemed to have suddenly become closer.

"We're already in the middle of it, and judging by the way this man looks, he doesn't want anyone to escape. ”

Lin Wangbei looked at the man on the sea and shook his head at the general behind him, "With this person's cultivation, even if you want to escape, it will be difficult to escape." ”

When he and the few generals who followed him left Jiankang and fled to the sea, Helan Heiyun had not yet spread the affairs of the descendants of the Emperor of Youdi to the world, and he didn't know much about the descendants of the Emperor of Youdi and the later affairs of the Demon Sect, but the cultivation of this person on the sea was too high, and the person with this kind of cultivation, even if there was a distance from the Three Saints of Nantian, seemed to be far beyond any cultivator of the Divine Thought Realm.

And this man at sea is obviously not one of the famous powerhouses in the world.

Such a figure called the young man his master, and the enemy he had encountered before seemed to be stronger than the man at sea.

Although he didn't know at this time that the enemy Shen Nian had encountered before was the Demon Sect, but for him, this was a huge cloud of doubt, surpassing the ordinary human world and the world of cultivators, such a cloud of doubt seemed to be a huge threat to the Southern Dynasty and the entire world, more important than his going to the border army, and he wanted to find out what it was.

"I don't know who you really are, but since the cultivator who has been by your side to help you is also dead, and the father who arranged everything for you is no longer in the world, then the only person you can rely on the most is yourself. ”

He whispered to Shen Nian in front of him, "You have to be strong. If cowardice is death, and pride is death, then at least be proud in front of the enemy. ”

Of course, Lin Wangbei and his subordinates have their own pride.

On the battlefield, even if it is certainly impossible to win, those proud frontier troops will still fight to the death.

"Thank you. ”

Such a voice hit Shen Nian's mind like those chaotic star vitality, he felt that such a voice was useful to him, he sincerely thanked him again, then took a deep breath, looked at the man on the driftwood, and said, "I don't understand what you mean. ”

Compared with Shen Nian at this time, the man on the driftwood looked even more proud.

Although he was wearing very ordinary clothes, he carried his hands behind his back, and he had the momentum of controlling the four seas.

His face was also very unfamiliar to Shen Nian, because like many people, Shen Nian was only familiar with their aura and their true element, but there were many of them that Shen Nian had never seen.

The man was thought to have died many years ago, and the monk had mentioned his name to Shen Nian back then, but it was so far away that Shen Nian couldn't even remember his name at this time.

"Why don't you ask me first, why can I find your whereabouts and be able to track you here?" The man did not answer Shen Nian's question immediately, but asked lightly.

Shen Nian calmed down a little.

He didn't think carefully about the other party's words, but what was hovering in his mind at this time was Lin Wangbei's words.

He thought of the decisive blow of the white-clothed monk before he died.

He thought again of the Demon Sect's resoluteness when he struck that blow at him.

He was a little ashamed.

"Why did you catch up with me?"

He looked at the man and nodded, and said truthfully, "What's your name?" It's been so long that I can't even remember your name." ”

The man on the driftwood was slightly stunned, but he seemed to think for a moment on this issue before he said, "Aren't you afraid that this will seem too contemptuous and make me feel a little almost humiliated?"

Shen Nian was also silent for a moment before he said, "I can't control your feelings, and since many years ago, it seems that you will not be swayed by me. ”

The man on the driftwood slowly raised his head, and Shen Nian's words didn't seem to cause any change in his state of mind.

It's just that the distance between him and the big ship seems to be even more weird and closer, so that ordinary boatmen on the ship can easily see the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes.

"My name is Gao Huan. ”

The man looked at the faint clouds in the sky above the big boat, and he seemed to be recalling, "Many years ago, when I was still in the Northern Wei Dynasty, suddenly someone found me, appreciated my talent and talent, and passed on to me the exercises that were above all the Northern Wei sects at that time, of course I was grateful, but what happened next has always made me feel extremely humiliated, because the person who said at that time that he admired my talent and talent did not say that after I practiced the exercises to a certain extent, I would continue to dedicate my true yuan to you in my practice." ”

Shen Nian bit his lip and said softly, "I don't know how you obtained the exercises. ”

The man who called himself Gao Huan laughed with some emotion and said, "Of course you didn't know at that time that when I obtained the exercises, you were just a baby, and when I started to dedicate the True Yuan to you, you were just a child who had just come into contact with cultivation, but what could make me feel more humiliated than this? Even if I don't practice your exercises, in the Northern Wei Dynasty, I am destined to be the object of competition from many sects, and with my talent and hard work, I must also be one of the highest people in the Northern Wei Dynasty." Yet a man like me was enslaved by a child who had just come into contact with him. ”

"I know I can't influence your thoughts, but I'm sure that no matter how extraordinary your talent is, even if you get the inheritance of the best exercises among the Northern Wei sects at that time, you won't be as powerful as you are today. Shen Nian took a deep breath, he looked at Gao Huan, "So it's not an accident, it's that you spent many years later, and finally cut off contact with me, but since that's the case, according to you, you have obtained powerful cultivation exercises again, and you don't need to be enslaved by me, so why are you still so dissatisfied?"

Lin Wangbei and several of his generals glanced at each other, and they all saw the deep shock in each other's eyes.

Whether it was Shen Nian or this man named Gao Huan, they actually said that the best exercises among all the Northern Wei sects were not as good as the exercises that Gao Huan cultivated, and the exercises that Gao Huan practiced had to continuously provide this young man with true yuan, which was completely beyond their cognition.

"Of course, it's not an accident, and of course I'm dissatisfied, because it took me many years to finally find a way to cut off contact with you, and someone like me seems to have spent the first half of my life on this. Gao Huan 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'm still alive, someone will naturally come to kill me." ”

Shen Nian's face turned pale, not because of fear, but because he couldn't argue.

"You're too young, and it seems to you that everything is taken for granted, and you don't care about the thoughts of the people who give you the true essence every day. But the truth is that I am afraid that many people will not accept such a fate willingly, 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, or rather, they are not brave enough to challenge their own fate. ”

Gao Huan looked at Shen Nian with sarcasm, and said, "I'm afraid you still don't understand, your father let the cicada protect you in the sea, was he afraid of foreign enemies at first? ”

"Many people should think that the way to completely change their destiny is to completely extinguish the mother body that has exercises like yours, or rather, to take your place and become the real mother. Gao Huan then said slowly.

By the time he had said this, he had reached the vicinity of the ship, and the waves were surging beneath him.

The waves were only a few feet high, but his body had risen extremely smoothly and landed on the bow of the boat.

"So it's not a coincidence. ”

He looked at Shen Nian with a slight mockery, and said: "After I found a way to cut off contact with you, I have quietly come to the sea, and I, like you, have been adrift at sea for many years, and even many times, I have spied on your shell ship 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 really understood that if this person hadn't been able to defeat the white-robed monk, I'm afraid he would have already suffered an accident.

"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 can surpass the Heavenly Cicada, or as long as I can obtain this Emperor Sword, I can defeat the Heavenly Cicada. Gao Huan continued with emotion: "It's just that I didn't expect that after all, there was another person who wanted to overcome his fate, and that person was stronger than me and the Cicada, 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, and it took countless efforts to crack the exercises that have been passed down for nearly a thousand years. We have been lurking in the sea for many years, and we have not even noticed it. Shen Nian looked at Gao Huan and said, "So in that storm, you are 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 accident is that this person found the location of the Nine Nether King Sword, if I had known this, I would have tried to kill him even if I took a risk." ”

Shen Nian sneered, "So your idea is to get the exercises I practiced from me?"

Gao Huan laughed and said, "You finally understand what I mean, I can let you live well and let you continue to be my nominal master, but you must really give." ”

Shen Nian looked at Gao Huan and said, "Do you want me to be your puppet to help you hide from the rest of the people, give you enough time, and become stronger than any of them?"

Gao Huan restrained his smile, looked at him seriously, and said a little coldly: "I don't want you to refuse my proposal." ”

"Do you think that in this way, you can truly control your own destiny?" Shen Nian sneered and said, "Haven't you ever thought about how the person who obtained the Nine Nether King Sword today locked my qi? Even if I really accepted your proposal, he wouldn't give you enough time to grow, and you would just be his prey." ”

"Thank you for your kindness. ”

Gao Huan looked at him lightly and said, "It's just that I'm much older than you, so I'll be more realistic than you, and before considering whether the treasure in my hand is hot, I will try to really get the treasure in my hand." And also... Since I was able to cut off contact with your qi, I thought maybe I might be able to find a way to escape his senses. ”

After a pause, he continued with strong confidence, "The point is that I am much stronger than you now, as long as you give me your exercises, in this era of spiritual famine, as long as I have a continuous replenishment of true yuan, it is impossible for him to kill me." ”

Shen Nian laughed.

He was really happy.

He was a little grateful to Lin Wangbei, because Lin Wangbei was right, people must maintain their pride at all times.

And this conversation with Gao Huan made him feel that there was not any way to be the enemy of the Demon Sect, because since Gao Huan was able to cut off the connection with his qi and find a way to change the exercises, he might be able to.

As long as there is courage, there will always be some way.

Just like now, even if he really didn't have much true yuan in his body, he felt that he might not die in Gao Huan's hands.

"I used to think that I only knew how to practice, and my thoughts were really naïve, but now in my opinion, you are even more naïve than me. He looked at Gao Huan with a smile and said.

Gao Huan was slightly stunned, and his brows furrowed unconsciously.

He didn't understand the meaning of Shen Nian's words.

Shen Nian looked at him and continued with a mocking look: "How can you be so naïve as to think ...... I will follow your arrangement as you wish, and tell you everything I know?"

Gao Huan's face changed suddenly, he suddenly found that this young man didn't seem to be as willful and useless as he imagined, his eyes instantly became cold, and he said coldly: "Even if you don't want to, I have many ways to pry your mouth open, but at that time, I'm afraid you will be worse than dead." ”

"You advance and retreat with me, he has said so much, it will not be easy for people to leave alive, and I will borrow your true yuan when the time comes. Shen Nian didn't talk to him again, but turned his head and said this to Lin Wangbei behind him.

Lin Wangbei and the others didn't have time to respond, Gao Huan at this time had suddenly thought of a possibility, and before Shen Nian's voice disappeared, a killing intent had already fallen directly towards Lin Wangbei behind Shen Nian.

He can be sure that Shen Nian has almost no true yuan in his body at this time, and there is no threat to him, in this case, as long as Lin Wangbei and the others are killed first, they can completely cut off Shen Nian's borrowing of Lin Wangbei and the others' true yuan.
