Wu Shattered Star River

An hour later, Jiang Lang brought in a steward.

Jiang Han had already listed the items he wanted, worth ten million Xuan stones. He spent nine million in one go.

Among them were three thousand bottles of Xuan God Pills, over ten thousand portions of Thunder attribute Xuan materials, a Heaven-ranked Breath Concealment Technique, a defensive Heaven-ranked Xuan Skill, two sets of Heaven-ranked battle armor, a Heaven-ranked battle blade, and a secret manual on constructing a Divine Altar, among other things.

The steward actually gave Jiang Han a discount, reducing the price by fifty million Xuan stones, which made Jiang Han look at Jiang Lang with new eyes.

Jiang Lang didn't produce a list, saying he had already purchased everything.

The two stayed at the inn for two days before changing clothes, altering their appearances, and leaving separately, constantly teleporting as agreed.

Jiang Lang had planned a route for Jiang Han. They teleported separately, constantly changing their appearances and clothes.

They circled around several nearby Dark Cities, as teleporting within Yun Province's Dark Cities didn't cost many Xuan stones.

After teleporting more than a dozen times, they finally reunited in a small Dark City near the Yunmeng Pavilion, and then teleported back to Yunmeng City.

Standing in Yunmeng City's South City, gazing at the familiar streets, Jiang Han felt like he was in a dream.

He had only been gone for a few days, but Jiang Han felt like he had been away for months.

He left penniless, but returned with treasures worth nine hundred million and another one hundred and fifty million Xuan stones.

The encounters of life are truly wonderful.

"Let's go back and cultivate in seclusion!"

Jiang Han's ambition soared. With so many Xuan materials and pills, he was confident he could cultivate to the ninth level of the Xuan You Realm in a very short time.

"Those two…"

Just as the two left, a surprised voice came from a private room on the second floor of a nearby restaurant.

If the two had looked up, they would have recognized the speaker as Han Shiqi.

Han Shiqi's injuries had mostly healed, apparently through the use of top-grade pills.

He and Steward Chen were drinking in the restaurant when they happened to see Jiang Han and Jiang Lang through the window.

Han Shiqi hadn't paid much attention at first, but after a few glances, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.

After careful consideration, he increasingly felt that something was wrong. He felt that Jiang Han and Jiang Lang's figures were too familiar.

They looked very much like the two who had won five million from him in the Qilin Gambling House and injured him.

Jiang Han and Jiang Lang wore masks and changed clothes, but there was a fatal flaw.

They couldn't change their body shapes, especially Jiang Lang's chubby appearance, which was too conspicuous.

The more Han Shiqi thought about it, the more likely it seemed, especially since the two had returned from the Dark City, which aroused his suspicion.

Han Shiqi had some wealth a few years ago when he was in the Mountain Sea Realm, making it relatively easy to obtain Xuan stones. Later, his Mountain Sea Divine Altar was shattered, and he spent a lot of resources on healing.

After his realm regressed, he lost interest in martial arts and began to focus on enjoying life. He had spent a huge amount of money over the years, and his entire fortune was only a little over ten million Xuan stones.

Losing ten million in the Qilin Gambling House had deeply wounded Han Shiqi. He had also lost face and been severely humiliated by Jiang Han, which had made him unable to eat for the past two days.

Today, he was finally in a better mood, and Steward Chen invited him for a drink, when he unexpectedly discovered Jiang Han and the other returning from the Dark City.

"What's wrong, Hall Master?"

Steward Chen saw Jiang Lang and Jiang Han's backs through the window, and he thought Han Shiqi was still holding a grudge against Jiang Han.

He said, "Hall Master, don't worry, I will help you kill that bastard Jiang Han sooner or later."

Han Shiqi didn't reply. He paced back and forth in the room, pondering for a full incense stick's worth of time before saying, "Chen Zhong, help me with something."

"Hall Master, just give the order!" Steward Chen was able to sit in this position because Han Shiqi had promoted him. He was considered a loyal dog under his command.

"Investigate secretly!"

Han Shiqi instructed, "I want to know all of Jiang Han and Jiang Lang's movements for the past half month. Especially when they went to the Dark City and how many times they went."

"Also, spend some Xuan stones to find someone in the Dark City to inquire about what they did in the Dark City and what they bought. In short… where they went and what they did in the past half month, the more details the better."

"This…"

Steward Chen frowned in embarrassment. Yunmeng City was easy to investigate, as there were people from their faction everywhere, and the people guarding the teleportation array to the Dark City were also their people.

However, the Dark City was not easy to investigate. Even spending Xuan stones might not buy any information.

Han Shiqi's expression darkened, and Steward Chen could only grit his teeth and cup his fist, saying, "This subordinate will do his best!"

"Go, do it now!"

Han Shiqi waved his hand. Although Steward Chen was puzzled as to why Han Shiqi was investigating this, he didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly went downstairs.

After Steward Chen left, Han Shiqi still stood in the restaurant, lost in thought. The more he thought about it, the colder his expression became.

"If it really is you, then this will be fun!"

A moment later, Han Shiqi sneered and said to himself, "You actually dare to impersonate Jiang Busi's grandson. You are too bold. If this news reaches the Jiang family, ten Ling Yunmengs won't be able to protect you!"

"Fourteen million!"

Greed flashed in Han Shiqi's eyes. He picked up a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp, saying with a smile, "If it really is them, then it would be great. Getting my hands on these fourteen million would be enough for me to squander for decades."

…

Jiang Han and Jiang Lang had already entered the Murder God's Little Courtyard, completely unaware that they had been targeted by Han Shiqi.

"Drink!"

A delicate shout came from the courtyard. The two looked over and found Zuo Yiyi teaching Jiang Li swordsmanship.

Jiang Li seemed to have just started practicing swordsmanship, and her movements with the long sword were crooked.

"Brother!"

Seeing Jiang Han return, Jiang Li ran over. Jiang Han hugged Jiang Li and asked softly, "Little Li'er, what sword technique is Sister Yiyi teaching you?"

Jiang Li looked up, her big eyes as pure as pearls, and said, "Sister Yiyi says this is called Willow Leaf Sword Technique."

"Willow Leaf Sword Technique?"

Jiang Lang frowned and looked at Zuo Yiyi, saying, "Pingping, that's a Heaven-ranked Xuan Skill. Little Li'er has only just entered the martial path. Is it appropriate to teach her such a profound Xuan Skill?"

"Buzz!"

Zuo Yiyi's giant hammer appeared in her hand. With a flash, she violently hammered Jiang Lang with the hammer.

"Are you crazy?"

Jiang Lang summoned a divine talisman, which shattered to create a huge light shield, blocking the blow.

However, his body was still sent flying by the force and crashed heavily into the courtyard wall.

Zuo Yiyi glared fiercely at Jiang Lang and said, "Jiang Fatty, I told you, if you call me Pingping again, I will beat you to death."

"You are flat, flatter than me…"

Jiang Lang muttered in a low voice, baring his teeth as he climbed up.

Zuo Yiyi turned her gaze to Jiang Han and said, "Jiang Han, where did you go with this fatso? I haven't seen you for days. Let me tell you, this fatso is not a good person. Don't let him lead you astray."

Jiang Han smiled sheepishly, but Jiang Lang was dissatisfied: "What do you mean by leading him astray? I took Xiao Hanhan to get Xuan materials. The Inner Affairs Hall is so stingy that Xiao Hanhan doesn't have any Xuan materials to cultivate with."

"I took him out and worked hard for a few days to get tens of thousands of Xuan stones, so he will have Xuan materials to cultivate with for the next few months."

"Tens of thousands of Xuan stones?"

Zuo Yiyi suspiciously scanned Jiang Lang and Jiang Han a few times. She suddenly walked over and whispered in Jiang Han's ear, "Jiang Han, did Jiang Lang introduce you to accompany those rich old women?"

"Let me tell you, you can't do that. Although we are poor, we must have dignity and integrity…"

"What are you talking about?"

Jiang Han became anxious. Jiang Li was still listening, so he quickly said, "Captain, I don't like old women!"

"Don't like old women?"

Zuo Yiyi blinked, then her expression changed. She pointed at Jiang Han and said, "Then did you go to be a male prostitute? Oh no! Jiang Han, you are dirty, your whole person is dirty…"

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Jiang Han was completely speechless. He explained, "Jiang Lang and I just went up the mountain to gather herbs and hunt demon beasts. We were lucky and found a dozen good spiritual herbs and hunted hundreds of demon beasts, which earned us tens of thousands of Xuan stones."

"That's good."

Zuo Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief. She exhaled a long breath and said, "In short, you must walk the right path, you must be self-respecting and self-loving. I heard that those old women in the Dark City are perverted, they have all kinds of tricks, your little body can't handle it…"

Jiang Lang's eyes lit up as he listened, and he quickly said, "Yiyi, how do you know so much? Do you have connections? Introduce me, Jiang Han can't handle it, I can handle it! As long as the price is right, I'll do whatever!"
