Wu Shattered Star River

Time continued to pass, and soon another nine days had gone by. Most of the cultivators had come out, and now only five cultivators remained, including Jiang Han.

Fu Dao and Lan Mei had both emerged, and they had both comprehended the stone tablet.

Seeing that Jiang Han had not come out, Fu Dao and Lan Mei felt somewhat conflicted. If Jiang Han had comprehended it, they would feel a bit jealous. If Jiang Han had not comprehended it, then he would have missed a great opportunity, especially since Jiang Han was an elder of the Haoran Dao.

Lan Mei's feelings were particularly complex, her gaze frequently turning towards Jiang Han, her beautiful eyes flashing with light, not knowing what she was thinking.

Pei Sui and Pei Zhu had not left, and they were tacitly waiting for the final day, so they could descend the mountain together.

Soon, more than half a day passed, and two more cultivators emerged, but Jiang Han still had not come out.

Some young masters and young ladies began to gloat, hoping that Jiang Han would not come out, and that when the time came, Lord Pao would forcibly bring Jiang Han out.

"Ugh…"

Half an hour later, Jiang Han suddenly opened his eyes, and then with a flash, he walked out.

Seeing this scene, the faces of many young masters and young ladies who were waiting to see a good show revealed disappointment. Jiang Han didn't seem like he was forced to come out because he felt the time was up.

It was more like he had just happened to comprehend the secret technique within the stone tablet, and then smoothly emerged from seclusion.

Countless gazes were cast towards Jiang Han, and Fu Dao couldn't help but ask: "Jiang Han, did you comprehend the secret technique left behind by the Peerless Hidden Emperor?"

Jiang Han saw that all the young masters and young ladies were looking at him, and a bitter look appeared on his face as he said: "I am a body cultivator, and I didn't have a deep understanding of the laws before. The secret technique left on this stone tablet is too profound and esoteric, I… I failed to comprehend it!"

"Hoo hoo!"

"Heh heh!"

"I knew it, the Peerless Hidden Emperor's secret technique is so strong, how could a body cultivator possibly comprehend it?"

"It's normal to not be able to comprehend it, I wouldn't necessarily be able to comprehend it either!"

"Elder Jiang, it's already good enough that you were able to find this divine tablet, don't be discouraged!"

"I'm a bit curious, Young Master Jiang, did you comprehend the previous two stone tablets?"

"That's right, Jiang Han, why did you come out so quickly after comprehending the previous two stone tablets?"

A group of young masters chattered and talked non-stop.

Fu Dao was also very curious, and he asked again: "Jiang Han, did you comprehend the previous two stone tablets?"

Jiang Han smiled bitterly again and said: "The first stone tablet recorded body cultivation techniques. I comprehended some of it, but it was completely different from the path I cultivate, so I withdrew."

"As for the second stone tablet, it recorded the Mixed Yuan Power technique. I don't have Mixed Yuan Power, so it's useless even if I comprehend it, so I chose to give up…"

"Wow!"

The crowd immediately erupted. They didn't expect Jiang Han to enter three golden stone tablets and fail to comprehend a single one?

The faces of many young masters and young ladies turned rosy, and they suddenly felt much more comfortable inside.

They felt that their failure was certainly uncomfortable, but if a small cultivator from the Lower Realm were to succeed, it would be even more uncomfortable than killing them.

Now that Jiang Han had failed to comprehend all three stone tablets, it made them feel much more balanced and comfortable.

"Failed to comprehend a single one?"

Pei Sui and Pei Zhu exchanged a glance, and they both saw suspicion in each other's eyes.

The golden stone tablets all had the mark and a trace of soul thought left behind by the supreme experts. If Jiang Han was not compatible, he would not be qualified to approach the stone tablets.

Since Jiang Han could approach the stone tablets, it meant that the probability of comprehension was very high. Jiang Han failed to comprehend a single one of the three stone tablets? They felt that it was a bit fake!

Lan Mei had the same thoughts as Pei Sui and Pei Zhu.

Lan Mei was certain in her heart that Jiang Han had Mixed Yuan Power. This was what Lan Mo had said personally, and Lan Mo couldn't possibly have sensed it wrong.

If that was the case, then Jiang Han was lying!

In addition, Jiang Han had been hiding his strength and being cautious. Therefore, Lan Mei was certain that Jiang Han had definitely comprehended the stone tablet, at least the Mixed Yuan Power part.

A group of young masters and young ladies chattered and talked non-stop, and some young masters and young ladies even started to speak sarcastically.

They were not afraid of offending Jiang Han, after all, those who could come here were all young masters and young ladies from large forces, and Jiang Han, an elder of a five-star force, was nothing in their eyes.

"Jiang Han!"

Pei Zhu suddenly spoke at this moment. She generously cupped her hands and bowed, saying: "I am Pei Zhu, from the Guangming Society. I hope we can become friends!"

"Uh…"

Everyone was stunned, including Pei Sui.

Pei Zhu was the most outstanding woman of the younger generation of the Pei family. In the Guangming Dao, she could be considered a princess. Many young masters present didn't even dare to harbor affections for her.

Because they knew they were not worthy!

Only the top young masters from those six-star major forces dared to have a single thought about Pei Zhu.

Pei Zhu usually treated people very kindly, but this was only on the surface. In their bones, the Pei family disciples were all proud.

Usually, when these young masters and young ladies interacted with Pei Zhu and Pei Sui, they could always feel the coldness in their bones that kept people at a distance.

But they didn't expect Pei Zhu to take the initiative to talk to Jiang Han and even say she wanted to make friends?

Could it be that Pei Zhu had taken a liking to Jiang Han?

Thinking of this, the gazes of many young masters from the six-star major forces towards Jiang Han became icy, and some young masters even revealed killing intent.

Feeling those unkind gazes, Jiang Han smiled bitterly in his heart. He pondered for a moment and didn't refuse.

Because Pei Zhu had shown goodwill, these young masters were already hostile towards him anyway.

If he refused Pei Zhu's kindness again, then he would also offend the Pei family. Offending the Pei family in the Guangming Dao would be no different from courting death?

In addition!

Mo Xie couldn't be relied on. If Pei Zhu was willing to lend a hand, with the Pei family's ability, mobilizing one or two Dao Ancestor Realm Eighth Level experts wouldn't be too easy.

Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Jiang Han cupped his hands and returned the greeting, saying: "Thank you, Miss Pei Zhu. It is Jiang's honor to be able to make friends with Miss Pei."

"Hmph hmph!"

Lan Mei became unhappy when she heard this and couldn't help but snort twice.

Before, as soon as she approached Jiang Han, Jiang Han would ruthlessly reject her, saying that she was a femme fatale and would bring trouble.

Now that Pei Zhu had extended an olive branch to him, Jiang Han immediately went up to lick her boots? How could she feel balanced in her heart?

Pei Zhu glanced at Lan Mei, smiled faintly, and didn't say anything.

Jiang Han ignored Lan Mei. Feeling the countless gloomy gazes nearby, he felt bitter inside.

After waiting for a while again, Lord Pao came out. With a flash, he entered the several stone tablets and brought out the remaining two cultivators.

He shot out a few streams of light, and a gap appeared in the purple halo. His gaze swept over the group of cultivators, lingered on Jiang Han for a moment, and said: "Alright, you can all go down the mountain!"

"Thank you, Lord Pao!"

A group of cultivators bowed and saluted, and then walked out towards the gap.

The Inner Forest opened once every hundred years, and they could only stay for one year at a time. The Outer Forest, however, could be stayed in indefinitely. Many cultivators were currently in the stone tablets of the Outer Forest and had not come out.

"Let's go, let's go back to Zhengyang Valley first!"

Pei Zhu waved her hand and led the main force down the mountain.

Jiang Han hesitated for a moment, and did not follow the main force down the mountain, but instead transmitted his voice to Fu Dao and Lan Mei, saying: "You guys go back to Zhengyang Valley. I want to continue cultivating here for a while. I'll go back to Haoran Mountain myself later!"

Jiang Han was very clear that he was now the target of public criticism. If he followed the main force back, what if a young master from a large clan was unhappy with him and attacked him?

Therefore, he didn't plan to go back with Mo Changlin, Fu Dao, and the others, but instead wanted to teleport back to Haoran Dao alone, which would be safer.
