Wu Shattered Star River

#599 - Chapter 599: The Hardest Thing to Accept

Jiang Han took the token, and arrangements were immediately made for the teleportation.

After teleporting for half a day, Jiang Han and the others finally arrived at Heavenly Emperor City.

They appeared in a large courtyard. This time, Jiang Han's soul had improved a lot, and he didn't feel too dizzy upon arrival.

Naturally, the Half-Divining Immortal was fine, but Jiang Lang was in a miserable state, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

If Jiang Han hadn't grabbed him, he would have likely fallen on his butt.

"Greetings, Young Master Jiang, greetings, sir!"

The two guarding the teleportation array were both at the Void Breaking Realm.

They had probably seen Jiang Han's portrait, as they both came over to pay their respects.

The Half-Divining Immortal was a Earth Immortal and also received a greeting.

Jiang Han nodded, waiting for Jiang Lang to recover. One of the Void Breaking Realm cultivators once again cupped his hands and said, "Young Master Jiang, should we inform Miss Mengyao?"

Fang Mengyao had already returned, and her relationship with Jiang Han was neither good nor bad.

However, Jiang Han was the Young City Lord of Tianluan City, so informing her would certainly prompt Fang Mengyao to come out and receive him.

"No need. We have matters to attend to. We'll visit Miss Mengyao another time!"

Jiang Han waved his hand. He was now somewhat wary of these young ladies from prestigious families and didn't want to interact with them too much.

Especially those from immortal-level forces, who would constantly try to get him to join them. He couldn't be bothered to deal with them.

Once Jiang Lang had recovered a bit, Jiang Han led him away.

After leaving the courtyard, he put on a mask. The Half-Divining Immortal and Jiang Lang also put on masks, and the Half-Divining Immortal even concealed his aura.

The three directly entered the Shadow City without stopping in Heavenly Emperor City.

After entering the Shadow City, Jiang Han found an inn and rented a room.

He instructed, "You guys stay here. I'm going to visit a friend. After the visit, we'll head to Yun Province first."

"Alright!"

The Half-Divining Immortal and Jiang Lang nodded. Jiang Han left the inn alone and went to the Shadow City Lord's mansion.

Every Shadow City had a City Lord's mansion. This Shadow City was a Gold-level Shadow City, and the City Lord's mansion was very grand.

Ten Shadow City Iron Guards stood outside the City Lord's mansion, all at the Heaven-Human Realm.

Jiang Han was locked onto by them before he even got close.

As Jiang Han approached, one of them stopped him and asked, "Who goes there? What business do you have!"

Jiang Han said in a deep voice, "I'm looking for Miss Tantai Yu. My name is Jiang Han!"

"Oh?"

The expressions of the ten Heaven-Human Realm cultivators immediately became respectful.

The one who had stopped him glanced at Jiang Han's face a few times, hesitated, and then cupped his hands and said, "Lord Jiang, are you wearing a mask?"

Jiang Han nodded slightly and wiped his hand across the mask, revealing his true face.

The ten Heaven-Human Realm cultivators all bowed and saluted, "Greetings, Lord Jiang."

One of them quickly welcomed Jiang Han inside, leading him directly into the inner courtyard, where an Earth Immortal elder hurried out.

He smiled from afar and said, "This old man is Tantai Mingyu, an elder of the Tantai family. Forgive me for not welcoming you sooner, Young Master Jiang."

Tantai Mingyu was the City Lord of this Shadow City, and he was actually so polite to him despite being a high-level Earth Immortal?

This made Jiang Han somewhat unaccustomed, and he quickly responded with humility and politeness.

Tantai Mingyu welcomed Jiang Han inside. Jiang Han explained his purpose, wanting to visit Tantai Fenghua and Tantai Yu at Dark Dragon Mountain.

"Hahaha!"

Tantai Mingyu laughed and said, "Welcome, welcome! That girl Xiaoyu will definitely be overjoyed when she hears you've come. Let's go, I'll personally take you there."

"How could I?"

Jiang Han quickly waved his hand and said, "Elder Mingyu has so many things to attend to. Just send someone to take me there."

"No need to be so polite!"

Tantai Mingyu said with a smile, "City Lord Lan and my Tantai family have a very close relationship. Speaking of which, he once served as a Dragon Patrol Envoy in Shadow City and is closer to the Tantai family head than brothers."

"Now that Young Master Jiang has come to our place, just treat it like your own home and make yourself comfortable."

Since Tantai Mingyu said so, Jiang Han didn't stand on ceremony. The two went to a nearby palace, where there was a large teleportation array.

This time, the teleportation lasted for more than half an hour, transporting them a great distance.

With Jiang Han's soul strength, this teleportation distance caused no discomfort.

The white light in front of him gradually dissipated, and he found himself in a forest garden.

Surrounded by green trees and red flowers, the environment here was particularly beautiful, with fresh air, like a paradise.

Jiang Han looked around and found that he didn't see too many buildings, only a few small pavilions in the middle of the forest in the distance.

Seeing the confusion in Jiang Han's eyes, Tantai Mingyu explained, "This is Dark Dragon Mountain. It's relatively large here. Our clan has never been large, so there aren't many houses. Those not of my clan are not allowed to reside on Dark Dragon Mountain."

"I see!"

Jiang Han nodded and followed Tantai Mingyu towards the mountain. The road was paved with bluestone slabs, exuding an ancient charm.

There was a sense of inexplicable tranquility here, which was very comfortable.

After walking for a while, Jiang Han felt that something was not right. He stopped and looked at a type of yellow flower next to him, asking, "Elder Mingyu, does the fragrance of this flower have a soul-nourishing effect? I feel very comfortable smelling it."

"Indeed!"

Tantai Mingyu said with a smile, "This is sandalwood flower, very precious. If it's discovered outside, it will be picked. If this flower is refined into a pill, it has a very good soul-nourishing effect."

Jiang Han secretly clicked his tongue. Listening to Tantai Mingyu's tone, this flower must be very valuable.

Treasures that outside cultivators would madly snatch were readily available on Dark Dragon Mountain, which showed the Tantai family's wealth and heritage.

After walking a few steps, a large sea of flowers appeared in front of them. In the sea of flowers stood a woman wearing a light purple dress.

She stood in the flowers, smiling gently.

The sea of flowers was beautiful, but the woman was even more beautiful. She was more delicate than the flowers, and the flowers accentuated her beauty.

"Jiang Han, welcome to Dark Dragon Mountain as a guest!"

Tantai Yu spoke with a smile, her bright eyes and white teeth captivating. Jiang Han was stunned by her beauty.

He quickly came to his senses and cupped his hands in greeting, "I should have come to thank Miss Yu and the Tantai family long ago. It is Jiang Han's fault."

Tantai Yu glared at Jiang Han and said with a pout, "Why have you become so formal? Just call me Xiaoyu."

Jiang Han smiled awkwardly and nodded, "Alright, Xiaoyu!"

Only then did Tantai Yu reveal a smile, fluttering over like a butterfly.

She said to Tantai Mingyu, "Grandpa Mingyu, I'll take Jiang Han to look around Dark Dragon Mountain. Tell my father that we'll come over later."

"You girl, how can you neglect your guests like this?"

Tantai Mingyu said with a wry smile. Just as he was about to say something, Tantai Yu grabbed Jiang Han's hand and ran off.

Tantai Mingyu was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips. He didn't say anything more and stroked his long beard as he walked away.

Jiang Han felt a little awkward at first being led by the hand by Tantai Yu, after all, men and women should keep a distance.

However, Tantai Yu had been kind to him, having risked her life to save him on Divine Bird Island. How could he refuse her?

Moreover, when Tantai Yu had taken him across the void before, they had held hands countless times. After thinking about it, he didn't let go.

"Jiang Han, Dark Dragon Mountain has eight scenic spots. Many places are very wonderful. I'll take you to see them!"

Realizing Jiang Han's awkwardness, Tantai Yu quickly let go of his hand, smiling as she spoke while walking.

She looked like a happy child, introducing her beloved toys to a friend.

The two toured Dark Dragon Mountain for half a day. Many of the sceneries here were indeed very beautiful and peculiar, leaving Jiang Han in awe.

"This place is really great!"

After seeing all the scenery, Jiang Han couldn't help but exclaim, "This place is like a paradise. Living here feels like one could live a hundred years longer."

"Hehe!"

Tantai Yu laughed happily, her eyebrows turning into crescent moons. She tilted her head and said, "If you really want to live here, you can live here for a lifetime…"

Looking at Tantai Yu's expectant eyes, Jiang Han fell silent.

He suddenly recalled an ancient poem—'A hero drinks to the moon on the river, but the grace of a beauty is the hardest to bear!'
