A streak of green light shot down from the sky, its dazzling tail extending extremely long. Looking from below, it looked like a rainbow flying freely in the sky. It came from the end of the sky and cut the sky in half, then headed towards the end of the other side.
Han Jin had decided to help Jeddes. Gibran and the others didn't say anything in front of him, but behind his back, Gibran and Léger went to Han Jin and raised their objections. What Han Jin didn't expect was that Léger was particularly agitated.
Léger wasn't a fool. Guevara and Lang Ning's actions couldn't be hidden from him. This time, he and Han Jin were completely open. Some people said that a leader must be someone with both integrity and talent. However, in this world, integrity and talent weren't important. What was important was strength. Léger was only a grade 8 thief, so he admitted that he wasn't qualified to be a lord. Han Jin was the best choice for everyone. If he forced himself, not only would he hurt everyone's feelings, but he would also become a laughingstock.
In fact, the one who influenced him the most was Guevara. Without Guevara's nurturing, his father, the Knight of Conrad, wouldn't have been able to leave the village. At most, he would have become a shoemaker, a carpenter, or a Farmer. He used to believe that his father was right, but Guevara abandoned him. It was because of his persistence and conviction that he was abandoned, so Léger was very sad. Of course, the abandonment here had a special meaning. Guevara abandoned his own ideas and his determination. If someone wanted to hurt Léger, Guevara would definitely save him.
Everything was determined by human nature. If Léger was a person who liked to be stubborn, he would definitely hate Guevara, Han Jin, Lang Ning, and the others. However, Léger was very pure in some aspects. He remembered Guevara's nurturing and also remembered that during his most painful and desperate times, it was Han Jin, Sunier, and the others who stood by his side and fought side by side with him. They saved Lang Ning and finally took control of Riptide.
He never doubted Guevara's intentions, and also trusted his friendship with Han Jin and the others. However, someone had to be wrong. Otherwise, where did the conflict come from? Léger chose to remain silent, waiting for the facts to prove that he was right. Even if he knew that Lang Ning had launched a series of actions in the army, he still didn't say a word.
Winter wasn't the best time to start a war. Even if they could completely wipe out the Beitman's army, the army couldn't immediately launch a counterattack. Lang Ning had set the date of the final battle at the beginning of spring, so Léger didn't want Han Jin to leave. If Lang Ning won, everything would be fine, but what if he lost? Zagunéd and Dismark were eyeing him covetously. The Beitman's ambition was beginning to show. Cold Shadow City's sudden emergence, Wild Willow City's attitude was unclear, and there was also Woodrow who took advantage of the situation. If Lang Ning lost, they would have to gather everyone's strength to survive. Han Jin couldn't leave. There were too many people's eyes on him. This time, the Isolated Cliff City's full support in helping Lang Ning purchase military supplies was definitely related to Han Jin's existence. However, Han Jin was different. Han Jin was too young, and youth meant hope. Han Jin had enough time to draw a blueprint for the future. How could Isolated Cliff City ignore this?! Han Jin was powerful and had good connections. Even the daughter of the Grand Duke of Solomon was Han Jin's partner, not to mention Guevara. Han Jin also had a territory, an army, and a great influence in the mercenary world, which was full of powerful people. Furthermore, he was very likely to win a significant victory. If such a young man was not worthy of funding, then the people of Isolated Cliff City must be blind!
However, Han Jin had already made a decision, and he wouldn't change it.
In fact, for Han Jin, his companions were both a kind of help and a kind of burden! Just like in the battle with Caroline and Betty, if Edwina hadn't made a move, Han Jin would have had a great chance to escape even if he couldn't win. It was because of Edwina's death that Han Jin had no choice but to fight with his life on the line. That was already beyond the scope of a normal battle. Han Jin was fighting for his pride and for his partners.
If he faced danger by himself, then he would have much more freedom. With his flying sword, Earthmeld, and the blessing of the Faked Earth Corpse, he could fight and leave whenever he wanted. No one could trap him.
Moreover, because of the Heaven and Earth Evil Qi, he had already regarded Nicholas as his mortal enemy! He had never thought that there would be someone in this world who could achieve Dao! Of course, this was the Dao of Demons! Although Jeddis had repeatedly emphasized that Nicholas had unfathomable strength, he knew very well that Jeddis had underestimated Nicholas. Those who could trigger the Heaven and Earth Evil Qi were either demons or great demons. The only difference was that Nicholas didn't know how to use Dao techniques. But who knew if Nicholas didn't have similar techniques?!
Not only was he his mortal enemy, but he was also his natural enemy! There was no room for compromise between the Xuan Sect and the demons. Often, there would be a battle to the death. The demons hoped to convert the Spiritual Power of Heaven and Earth into Evil Qi, while the Xuan Sect hoped to convert the Evil Qi into Spiritual Power. When it came to living space, no one would back down! Although Han Jin never thought of himself as a member of the Xuan Sect, he still had the feeling that they had a common enemy. Moreover, he had a faint feeling that those legendary demigods were all Dao Masters! What was their Dao? What was the difference between it and the Dao that he pursued?
No matter what, he couldn't allow Nicholas to expand his influence freely. Compared to him, Zaganide and Dismark were nothing more than a speck of dust.
Looking at the horizon, he still couldn't see the end of the forest. Han Jin frowned slightly. Jeddis had said that he didn't know the exact location, but if he went straight southwest, he should be able to get out of the forest in about three months. Of course, the speed of his flying sword was much faster than walking. Preliminary calculations showed that it would take about five to six days to get close to the sphere of influence of Iron Fist City. But today was already the fifth day, and all he could see was the dense forest. Could it be that he was going in the wrong direction?
That was impossible! If he was trapped in a magic circle, getting lost was nothing, but getting lost in nature was a big joke. Cultivators were extremely sensitive to heaven and earth, the sun, the moon, and the stars. Although this was a strange world, Han Jin had been here for two years and was already familiar with the movement of the sun, the moon, and the stars. He should be going in the right direction. It was Jeddis' judgment that was wrong.
While he was thinking, a powerful arrow that was flying towards him woke him up. The arrow was flying at an extremely fast speed, but Han Jin had accurately judged that the arrow wouldn't hurt him, so he just shot it before the green light could reach him.
Han Jin suddenly stopped the sword light and released the Art of Spirit Possession. He turned his head and looked at the direction where the arrow came from. In fact, the Art of Spirit Possession didn't play a big role, but what he needed was a quick reaction, improved hearing, eyesight, and so on.
More than four hundred meters below him, a few figures jumped onto the branches. Then, Han Jin heard faint exclamations, "God … that's really a person! It's a person! "
Han Jin drove his sword and slowly flew toward those people. The other party only used arrows to test the Green Ray, so it didn't seem to be very aggressive. It was a good opportunity to ask for directions. He couldn't afford to delay. Jeddis had said that Nicholas had already used the Space Scroll to return to Iron Fist City. The more time he wasted, the better Nicholas' preparations would be. Once Nicholas convinced the Light Knight Order, there would be no point for him to be a messenger.
The distance between the two parties was getting closer and closer, but they were still vigilant. Han Jin could clearly see that there were about a dozen people on the other side, led by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. The rest were all strong men, each more majestic than the last. Only an old man stood beside the girl. His hair was white, but his face looked very young. He had a standard ruddy complexion and white hair, so his specific age couldn't be determined.
"Honorable guests from afar, I'm really sorry." The old man raised his voice and said, "We didn't see anyone just now, so we only thought that it was a magic tool that went out of control. Please forgive us for startling you."
"It's nothing." Seeing that the other party's attitude was very friendly, Han Jin relaxed a little and said, "Hello, this … I'm lost. Can you tell me how to get to St. Petersburg?"
"You want to go to St. Petersburg?" The old man thought for a while and said, "Go northwest, about seven hundred miles."
"Thank you." Han Jin nodded and then slowly rose.
"Wait … You want to fly to St. Petersburg?" The old man raised his voice and shouted.
"Why?"
"Then you will have to pass through the airspace of the Kingdom of Magnificent Light. You will be attacked by them."
"I'm just passing by. Why would they attack me?" Han Jin was stunned.
"You came from afar, so you don't understand. The Kingdom of Magnificent Light is a fully militarized country. No matter if you want to travel by air, river, or land, you must get their permission. Otherwise, they will treat you as an invader."
"I'm an invader? Ridiculous! " Han Jin smiled. He didn't care at all. At most, he would just fly a little higher. Want to attack me, Han Jin? Let's talk about it after I catch up with him.
Seeing that Han Jin didn't listen to his advice, the old man opened his mouth again. At this time, the girl interrupted and said, "Don't worry about him! If he doesn't listen to good advice, let him die! "
The old man glanced at the girl and smiled bitterly. "Honorable guest, I know that you must be a powerful professional since you can fly thousands of miles to this place. However, the King of the Kingdom of Magnificent Light, Nicholas, has received the allegiance of several Dragon Knight. It is too risky for you to force your way through."
"Dragon Knight?" Han Jin's heart skipped a beat. Jeddes had mentioned the Dragon Knight before, but Jeddes had instilled too many things to pay attention to, so he couldn't fully grasp them. At this moment, he remembered Yalina's evaluation. His speed of riding the sword was second only to the dragon and the fire phoenix. This meant that the Dragon Knight could pose a threat to him.
"Honorable guest, we are also going to St. Petersburg. Come down and let's go together." The old man extended an invitation. "If you think that we are too slow, it won't be too late for us to part ways after we are out of the sphere of influence of the Kingdom of Magnificent Light."
Han Jin hesitated. The girl asked curiously, "Who are you looking for in St. Petersburg? Adonis? Aude? Amijay? "
"Miss, don't ask about a guest's privacy." The old man smiled bitterly.
"I want to help him," the girl said proudly. "I am very, very good friends with them. No matter who you want to find, I just have to say a word."
Han Jin immediately changed his mind because Aude of St. Petersburg was one of the people that Jeddes had repeatedly mentioned. He slowly lowered his sword.
