Wu Shattered Star River

Flying Immortal Peak, the backyard of the Palace Lord's mansion.

Bai Li Ju and Lu Xi arrived together. The two passed through the forest garden and entered a cyan pavilion.

"Huh?"

The two stopped outside the pavilion, both with surprised expressions on their faces.

They discovered the figure of an old man near a rockery close to the pavilion. The old man held a carving knife and was sculpting a wooden figure.

The old man was no longer as disheveled as before. His hair was neatly combed, his beard was trimmed, and he had changed into clean new clothes, making Bai Li Ju and Lu Xi almost not recognize him.

The wooden sculpture the old man was carving was still a woman, but unlike before, it wasn't faceless; this time it had a face. The expression was very lifelike. Upon closer inspection, it looked exactly like Lu Feixian.

Bai Li Ju and Lu Xi exchanged a glance. Bai Li Ju bowed and said, "Greetings, Flag Master Ma."

Lu Xi smiled sweetly, her face revealing a sweet smile, and bowed, "Congratulations, Flag Master Ma."

The old man was none other than Ma Shankui, the guardian of the Flying Immortal Palace's secret realm. His appearance here meant he had truly entered the inner circle.

Plus, he had started paying attention to his appearance. With Lu Xi's intelligence and wit, she could naturally guess that Ma Shankui and Lu Feixian's relationship had made significant progress.

Previously, the people of Flying Immortal Palace didn't know about Ma Shankui's situation. After the Wangyue Island incident, everyone understood the purpose of a powerhouse of Ma Shankui's level living in seclusion in Flying Immortal Palace.

It was to pursue Lu Feixian.

"Hehe!"

Ma Shankui chuckled. He casually tossed out two wooden carvings. Bai Li Ju and Lu Xi each caught one. Ma Shankui waved his hand and said, "They're yours!"

Bai Li Ju's eyes showed some surprise. Lu Xi took a closer look and was immediately overjoyed. These wooden carvings contained Daoist rhymes.

Ma Shankui used to be a powerful Earth Immortal, with extremely profound comprehension of the Great Dao. These wooden carvings were quite valuable.

"Thank you, Grandpa Ma!"

Lu Xi quickly changed her address. Bai Li Ju reacted and followed suit, offering his thanks.

Swish swish ~

A gentle figure walked out of the pavilion. She glared at Ma Shankui, who quickly lowered his head.

Lu Feixian spoke, "What is it?"

Bai Li Ju and Lu Xi put away the wooden carvings. Bai Li Ju said with an excited face, "Palace Lord, we just received news that Jiang Han has appeared in the Jiang family, a king-level force under the Star Pavilion of the Nine Provinces Continent."

"He fought nine Heaven-Human Realm experts alone, including three Heaven-Human Realm peak experts. He forcefully killed six Heaven-Human Realm experts, including two Heaven-Human Realm peak experts. Jiang Han's name is shaking the Nine Provinces."

Lu Xi smiled and said, "Congratulations, Palace Lord. The Chaotic Star Sea is buzzing with this news. Jiang Han is an offering of our Flying Immortal Palace. Our Flying Immortal Palace's reputation is soaring now."

"He can already kill Heaven-Human Realm peak experts?"

A trace of sigh appeared on Lu Feixian's face. Her cultivation level was at the Heaven-Human Realm peak, with half a foot stepping into the Void Breaking Realm, but the final half-step had yet to be opened.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "When Jiang Han entered the Palace, he seemed to have just broken through to the Mountain Sea Realm, right? This growth rate is unparalleled among his peers."

"Yes!"

Lu Xi nodded and said, "Indeed, he just entered the Mountain Sea Realm. The Divine Ruins Palace's New Talent List for this year is probably coming out soon. Jiang Han will definitely be in the top five of the New Talent List."

Lu Feixian sighed with emotion and turned her gaze to Ma Shankui, asking, "Shankui, what do you think?"

Ma Shankui paused with the carving knife in his hand, raised his head, and said, "A tree that stands out in the forest will be blown down by the wind! If he doesn't die young, he can ascend to Godhood!"

Lu Feixian nodded slightly and said, "He went to Yun Province, probably to the Undying Valley. He has so many enemies. This time, being so high-profile, he will definitely be strongly intercepted and killed in the Undying Valley."

"Intercepted and killed?"

Bai Li Ju frowned and asked, "Jiang Han is now the young city lord of Tianluan City. Which force would dare to openly intercept and kill him?"

"You don't understand the situation in the Undying Valley!"

Lu Feixian sighed and said, "People who enter the Undying Valley will have memory loss. After coming out, they can't remember most of the things inside."

"In other words—if a group of Heaven-Human Realm experts goes in and surrounds and kills Jiang Han, this group of Heaven-Human Realm experts won't even remember intercepting and killing Jiang Han after they come out. Even if someone sees it, they won't have any memory of it."

"So even if they know that Jiang Han was intercepted and killed inside, Lan Lin will have no way to take revenge."

"Ah?"

Bai Li Ju was shocked, but Lu Xi was somewhat unconvinced and said, "Palace Lord, I heard that only those under thirty years old can enter the Undying Valley. Currently, there are no Void Breaking Realm experts under thirty, right? Can a group of Heaven-Human Realm experts kill Jiang Han?"

"Hehe!"

Ma Shankui laughed and said, "Xi'er, you are completely ignorant of the foundations of those Overlord-level forces. If those Overlord-level forces use their foundations, Heaven-Human Realm experts can even kill Void Breaking Realm experts!"

"Foundation?"

Bai Li Ju and Lu Xi exchanged a glance, both shocked. Bai Li Ju curiously asked, "What kind of foundation is so powerful that it can allow Heaven-Human Realm experts to kill Void Breaking Realm experts?"

"There are many foundations!"

Ma Shankui said, "The most common is a Saint-grade profound artifact. Basically, every Overlord-level force has a Saint-grade profound artifact. Saint-grade profound artifacts contain powerful Dao patterns that can directly release powerful killing moves."

"Some supreme experts can leave behind a trace of their remnant soul before they die. The remnant soul can be stored in treasures, and can also be temporarily stored in the body of a martial artist."

"The remnant soul can release thirty to forty percent of its battle power before death. Even if it can only unleash one strike, the power is still very astonishing."

"Some Overlord-level force's supreme experts even condense their lifelong cultivation into a treasure before they die. Once released, it can destroy Earth Immortals…"

"I won't tell you about even stronger foundations. You can think about it. How many Overlord-level forces have been destroyed in the past ten thousand years? Only one!"

"It's too difficult, too difficult to destroy an Overlord-level force, because every Overlord-level force has a powerful foundation!"

"Hiss hiss!"

Bai Li Ju and Lu Xi sucked in cold air. Both of their eyes revealed worry. Lu Xi said, "Then Jiang Han won't be in trouble, right?"

"I don't know!"

Lu Feixian sighed and said, "The path to becoming a peerless powerhouse is full of obstacles. Any powerhouse who ascends to the top must experience countless tribulations."

"If he can overcome them, he will soar to the sky. If he can't overcome them, he will be eternally沉沦. It depends on Jiang Han's fate."

"By the way!"

Lu Feixian suddenly remembered something and asked, "Has that little girl Jiang Han brought back been found?"

"Little Yu'er?"

Bai Li Ju frowned and shook his head, saying, "I have mobilized many disciples to inquire and search. We have been searching for several months, but there has been no news."

"People in the forces within a radius of ten thousand miles have not seen her. She has a large birthmark on her face, which is easy to recognize."

Lu Xi's eyes dimmed, and she said, "Could it be that she was eaten by sea beasts? Such a small child, alas!"

"No need to worry."

Ma Shankui suddenly opened his mouth and said, "This child is not an ordinary child. I once took a distant look at her. She should have the bloodline of an ancient powerful race in her body."

"She doesn't have any battle power. Since Jiang Han said that she can drift at sea for several years alone, then she shouldn't die."

"Then never mind, if there is news from the Undying Valley, tell me."

Lu Feixian waved her hand, turned around, and entered the pavilion. Ma Shankui lowered his head and continued to carve wood.
