Wu Shattered Star River

Divine Ruins City!

Three figures slowly solidified within the teleportation array, which was situated in a small square.

The square was filled with teleportation arrays and guarded by twenty black-armored soldiers, all at the Celestial Human Realm.

One of the three figures was dressed in an exquisite azure robe, with delicate features and fair skin, resembling a noble young master.

Behind him followed two guards clad in Sky Chaos Army armor; the three were none other than Jiang Han, Gao Shan, and Gao Wan.

Jiang Han hadn't disguised himself.

Upon his appearance, a squad of soldiers glanced over, all bowing respectfully with solemn expressions, "Greetings, Young Master Jiang."

Jiang Han nodded slightly, producing Lan Lin's token, and said, "I need to go to Sword Demon Mountain."

"Please, follow me, sir!"

A peak Celestial Human Realm cultivator respectfully gestured, leading Jiang Han towards a teleportation array.

As they walked, he added, "Young Master Qing instructed that if you arrived, we should immediately inform him.

Would Young Master Jiang like to stay in Divine Ruins City for a couple of days?"

"That won't be necessary for now!"

Jiang Han cupped his fist in salute, "Please apologize to Young Master Qing on my behalf.

I have matters to attend to at Sword Demon Mountain and will pay him a special visit later."

"Understood!"

The peak Celestial Human Realm cultivator didn't waste words and directly activated the teleportation array for Jiang Han.

With a flash of white light, Jiang Han and his companions vanished within the array.

Once Jiang Han and the others had left, the group of Celestial Human Realm cultivators immediately gathered, discussing amongst themselves with sighs of emotion.

Half a year prior, Jiang Han had visited Divine Ruins City with Gu Qingtian on their way to the Undying City.

At that time, Jiang Han had only just begun to rise to prominence, his name starting to spread.

Yet, in just half a year, Jiang Han's name had become known throughout the world, his battle prowess surpassing many Earth Immortals, leaving them deeply moved.

…

Sword Demon Island, Divine Sword Mountain!

Divine Sword Mountain resembled a divine sword thrust into the heart of the island, its peak resembling a sword hilt, long and slender.

Both ends of the mountain were suspended in the air, creating a magnificent sight when viewed from above.

At one end of the mountain was a large plaza with many teleportation arrays.

Twenty Sword Demon Mountain disciples guarded the area day and night, led by a middle-aged man at the Celestial Human Realm.

"Buzz ~"

The teleportation array lit up.

The Celestial Human Realm leader glanced over, quickly leading his men forward, his expression turning respectful.

This teleportation array connected to Divine Ruins City, and anyone teleporting from there would be a significant figure, warranting the Sword Demon Mountain disciples' attention.

The light from the teleportation array subsided, and three figures appeared.

The Celestial Human Realm leader glanced at them, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

He quickly reacted, bowing respectfully, "May I ask if you are Young Master Jiang Han?"

Jiang Han nodded with a smile, "Indeed, I am.

I apologize for this intrusion, but I wish to request an audience with Miss Si Li."

"Welcome, welcome!"

The Celestial Human Realm cultivator's face broke into a warm smile.

He waved to a disciple, "Quickly inform Fifth Elder who is on duty."

A disciple excitedly rushed away, leaving Jiang Han feeling somewhat embarrassed.

The Sword Demon Mountain disciples' enthusiasm was something he wasn't quite used to, and he felt a little apprehensive.

"I am Si Wang!"

The Celestial Human Realm cultivator said amiably, "I am Si Li's cousin.

You can call me by my name directly, or… you can call me cousin!"

"Uh…"

Invisible black lines appeared on Jiang Han's forehead as he awkwardly cupped his fist, "Brother Si, greetings!"

"Let's go, let's go!"

Si Wang chuckled, grabbing Jiang Han's hand and leading him inside, leaving the Sword Demon Mountain disciples to chatter amongst themselves.

Along the way, many Sword Demon Mountain disciples came to hear the news and watched Jiang Han from afar.

Many young disciples had complex expressions, some admiring, some jealous, and some even hostile.

But most disciples were very friendly and enthusiastic, bowing respectfully from afar.

Jiang Han had never seen such a scene before and felt a little uneasy.

Moreover, this was Si Li's home, and he felt like a son-in-law visiting for the first time, inevitably feeling apprehensive.

Although, he and Si Li hadn't even started anything yet…

After winding through several paths, they arrived before a massive palace, where three white-bearded elders stood smiling before the stone steps.

Welcoming him at the steps!

Three Earth Immortals welcoming Jiang Han was a great honor.

Even if Mi Ling or Feng Yin came, they would only receive this level of treatment.

Although Jiang Han didn't quite understand these customs, he still felt a little uneasy being greeted by three white-bearded elders.

He quickly walked over and bowed, "Jiang Han greets the three seniors.

I am unworthy of such a gracious welcome."

"Hahaha!"

The three elders all laughed, their eyes filled with kindness.

A long-bearded elder personally helped Jiang Han up, saying, "Young friend Jiang suppressed a sovereign-level force alone outside Heavenly Dragon Island, shaking the world.

No level of welcome would be excessive."

"I am Si Wushen, the Grand Elder of Sword Demon Mountain.

This is Third Elder Si Wukun, and this is Fifth Elder Wang Tu."

Jiang Han quickly bowed again.

Si Wushen smiled and took Jiang Han's hand, leading him inside, saying, "Come, my elder brother heard of your arrival and made a special trip out of seclusion to meet you."

Jiang Han's heart trembled.

Si Wushen was the Grand Elder of Sword Demon Mountain, so his elder brother was likely Si Wujian, the Mountain Lord of Sword Demon Mountain and Si Li's grandfather.

As expected!

Upon entering the main hall, a white-haired, white-robed elder sat in the main seat, looking at him with a smile.

Jiang Han quickly bowed and said, "Jiang Han greets Mountain Lord Si.

Please forgive my intrusion."

"Hahaha!"

Si Wujian carefully sized up Jiang Han, laughing twice, and said, "Jiang Han, you were originally a disciple of Flying Immortal Palace.

If it hadn't been for Shen Tianbao and Mu Jian's mischief back then, you would probably be the Holy Son of my Sword Demon Mountain by now."

"In a way, you and my Sword Demon Mountain are family.

What's there to apologize for?

In the future, you can come to Sword Demon Mountain whenever you like, treat it like your own home."

Jiang Han didn't know what to say, so he could only bow again and say, "Thank you for Mountain Lord Si's kindness.

Some time ago, Miss Si Li brought three Sword Demon Mountain elders to help at Divine Bird Island, and I am deeply grateful.

I have come today to express my gratitude."

"Buzz!"

Jiang Han took out a spatial ring and handed it to Si Wushen beside him, saying, "This is a small token of my appreciation.

The kindness of Sword Demon Mountain will never be forgotten.

If there is anything I can do in the future, I will not hesitate to die for you."

Si Wushen glanced at Si Wujian, who nodded slightly.

Si Wushen took the spatial ring and glanced at it, a teasing smile appearing on his face, saying, "Jiang Han, is this your betrothal gift?

If you want to marry our little Li'er, this is not enough."

"Hahaha!"

The other two elders joined in the laughter, and Si Wujian also stroked his beard and smiled.

Jiang Han was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do, and shyly said, "This is not a betrothal gift, it's just… just…"

Seeing Jiang Han's awkwardness, Si Wujian and the others liked him even more.

They were used to seeing those graceful and courteous young masters, and they preferred Jiang Han's simple and honest demeanor.

"Alright!"

Si Wujian waved his hand, saying, "Stop teasing him.

Jiang Han, you came to see Si Li, right?

Let Si Wang take you there.

If there's nothing else, stay at Sword Demon Mountain for a few more days."

"Okay, thank you, Mountain Lord!"

Jiang Han followed Si Wang out after bowing.

The old fellows exchanged glances, and Si Wushen said with a smile, "Not bad, the more I look at this kid, the more I like him.

He is worthy of our little Li'er.

It just depends on whether he is willing to join Sword Demon Mountain for Si Li's sake."

"Yes!"

Si Wujian nodded, saying, "If he is willing to stay at Sword Demon Mountain, the position of the next Mountain Lord can even be given to him.

His future achievements will definitely be stronger than Si Li's.

If he really is that person's son, his future achievements… are limitless!"
