Chapter 2362 Arrival in the Old Land

At this moment, the interior of the Xuanzhou was unusually quiet; you could hear a pin drop.

Wang Taohua and Lu Hansheng stared at each other at close range, neither willing to back down, locked in a fierce and irreconcilable confrontation.

The oppressive and gloomy atmosphere intensified, and the void seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

Honestly, Lu Hansheng had reached his limit and almost took action.

If Lu Hansheng had intervened, Wang Taohua wouldn't have been suppressed. This is because the royal token Wang Taohua carried contained a trace of the Taiwei Emperor's will, enough to resolve most dangers in the world.

"Old Lu, we're almost at our destination."

Rong Che broke the silence.

"where?"

This was Lu Hansheng's first time in Dizhou, so he naturally didn't know where he was.

"You'll find out later."

Rong Che was worried that if he uttered the words "old land," Lu Hansheng would turn around and leave. To prevent this from happening, he decided to keep it a secret for the time being.

Everyone present wanted Lu Hansheng to suffer.

Ye Liujun kindly reminded him, "Old Lu, don't say anything careless later, or you might get into big trouble."

"What do you mean?"

Lu Hansheng turned to look at Ye Liujun, his brows furrowing slightly, a sense of unease creeping over him.

His intuition told him that he shouldn't continue.

However, this is a matter of face, so how can we back down?

If we were to be intimidated by Wang Taohua, a quasi-emperor, how embarrassing would it be if word got out!

Lu Hansheng was very confident in his own strength, and even if he encountered any trouble, he could sweep it away with the sword in his hand.

"Means nothing."

Ye Liujun gave a perfunctory answer, clearly unwilling to explain.

If you don't want to talk about it, fine, Lu Hansheng didn't bother to ask further.

Several hours later, they arrived at the old land!

Upon arriving at this place, all the emperors felt an unusual pressure, their faces turned solemn, and their hearts tightened slightly.

"This is... old soil!"

Shen Wuyun stared at the vast land in front of him, where a large expanse of red mist, imbued with the laws of time, lay hidden from view, leaving one in awe and fear.

Based on the scenery he saw, Shen Wuyun was able to determine where he was. His eyes were deep and slightly gleaming.

"Old soil!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Hansheng felt a chill run down his spine, sensing something was amiss.

Lu Hansheng had some information about the old land.

Legend has it that a million years ago, an earth-shattering war took place in China. After the great battle, the battlefield turned into dust.

Some say that an extremely terrifying being lurks within the old land.

Emperor Taiwei!

In an instant, Lu Hansheng thought of these things.

Lu Hansheng would naturally try his best to understand these top figures in China and the world. But there was no need to waste time delving into someone like Wang Taohua.

If Lu Hansheng had done more investigation or talked to Ye Liujun and the others a little more, he would have known what kind of background Wang Taohua had.

Why did you come here?

Lu Hansheng turned his gaze to Wang Taohua and questioned her.

"Let me broaden your horizons."

The other party had a sharp tongue, so Wang Taohua naturally wouldn't give them a pleasant look.

"I am aware of the affairs of the old land. However, what does this have to do with you?"

Lu Hansheng said dismissively.

Ye Liujun and Rong Che exchanged a knowing glance, thinking to themselves, "You naive guy, Old Wang really does have connections with Jiutu."

Shen Wuyun, adopting a spectator's mentality, remained silent, ignoring the fact that it was none of his business.

"To be honest, Emperor Taiwei is my elder brother."

Since they were already back in the old town, Wang Taohua stopped hiding and faced Lu Hansheng with a half-smile.

"Huh?" Lu Hansheng was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha..."

Lu Hansheng had naturally heard of who the Taiwei Emperor was.

How could the terrifying being in the rumors possibly be related to Wang Taohua?

Lu Hansheng didn't believe a word Wang Taohua said and burst into laughter, amused by the joke. It was the funniest joke he'd heard recently, and he couldn't help but laugh.

After laughing for a while, Lu Hansheng noticed that the others were all very serious and solemn. Sensing something was amiss, he slowly suppressed his playful smile, narrowed his eyes, and began to think.

"What's wrong with you?"

Lu Hansheng glanced at Ye Liujun and the others, and, not knowing the situation, asked directly.

"Old Lu, take my advice, let's apologize!"

Perhaps wanting to indulge in a bit of verbal sparring, or perhaps out of a good intention, Ye Liujun offered another earnest and heartfelt admonition.

"How could I possibly apologize to the weak?"

Lu Hansheng rejected the suggestion without hesitation. Then he added, "Little Fireman, don't put on airs in front of me. With your abilities, you're not good enough to be my brother."

Ye Liujun was already used to Lu Hansheng's way of speaking, and at this moment, he showed no anger. He shook his head and sighed softly, a hint of pity appearing in his eyes: "Alas!"

In truth, no one knew the extent of Wang Taohua's relationship with Emperor Taiwei. However, judging from Wang Taohua's confident demeanor, it seemed she could indeed persuade Emperor Taiwei to intervene.

"Oh! I see!" Lu Hansheng's eyes darted around, and he suddenly realized.

The emperors felt a slight tremor in their hearts, sensing something was amiss. They thought to themselves, "Could it be that he has seen through something and is planning to leave?"

Having finally arrived at the old land, if Lu Hansheng were to slip away, wouldn't all our efforts be wasted, and we'd have come all this way for nothing, with no excitement to watch?

Lu Hansheng's next words dissuaded the emperors from having this idea.

He pointed at the crowd with his folding fan, boasting that he had seen through everything, and confidently declared: "You all conspired to deceive me, hoping to make me back down and turn the tables on me. From now on, I will often make fun of this incident."

Lu Hansheng also knew that he often bullied the emperors, so it was highly likely that the emperors would join forces to set a trap.

Everyone thought Lu Hansheng had backed down, but they didn't expect it to be like this.

"I saw through him, and he was speechless, not knowing how to refute me."

Seeing the emperors' expressions change slightly and their silence, Lu Hansheng became even more certain of his judgment.

Following Lu Hansheng's lead, Rong Che showed a hint of disappointment and sighed softly, "Ah...right, your insight is terrifying. You saw through this. What a pity!"

"You actually resorted to such clumsy tactics, it's truly shameful."

Lu Hansheng didn't believe in his heart that Wang Taohua could be connected with the legendary terrifying figures, so he just thought it was a farce.

Even if Wang Taohua was once qualified to ascend to the throne, she is now only a quasi-emperor. How could an ant like her possibly climb up to a mountain that has reached the pinnacle of the Great Dao?

"Since you're not afraid, let's go in!"

Wang Taohua strode ahead.

"I've already seen through your scheme, so what are you still insisting on? Do you think I wouldn't dare to go in?"

In Lu Hansheng's view, Wang Taohua was still putting on an act, stubbornly holding on.

Snap!

Lu Hansheng was not about to back down and followed closely behind.
