Chapter 1090: [796] Exchange for New Technique (Requesting Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions) Chapter 1090: [796] Exchange for New Technique (Requesting Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions) “The opposing figures clashing amidst the reed marshes, are they our people from Yunmeng Lake, or are they outsiders?”
“It seems to be Zhong Wanhao… There’s not many at the Ninth Rank within Yunmeng Lake, and on the day of the incident, he had cleared a path for an assassin to leave.”
“It’s confirmed to be him.”
“What exactly happened?”
“Roughly deduced, Zhong Wanhao laid an ambush to assassinate that Sword Cultivator, but he underestimated the opponent’s strength, and was cleanly and neatly counter-killed. The entire event spanned no more than five minutes.”
Suddenly, the conference room fell silent.
Some found it hard to believe as they hesitated to say, “Even if Zhong Wanhao is weaker, he was still a Ninth Rank Starry Sky Level… To kill a Starry Sky Level within five minutes, isn’t that just inconceivable?”
“Zhong Wanhao was, after all, a Plant Cultivator with little combat experience… Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone out of his way to hire an assassin to help.”
The elder at the head seat said solemnly, “There’s no need to investigate the identity of that Sword Cultivator.”
Confused, others looked to him, “Chief, why is that?”
The elder’s gaze remained calm as he looked over, “The person intentionally avoided creating trouble in Yunmeng Lake and has already shown us respect. Respect is mutual; there’s no need for us to continue the investigation and risk attracting disaster. What’s urgent now is to catch that gang of Robber Cultivators.”
“Understood.”
…
The news of Zhong Wanhao’s death spread rapidly throughout Yunmeng Lake.
Upon hearing that the slain Ninth Rank Strongman was none other than Zhong Wanhao, all sides were somewhat shook.
Yet, when some rushed to Zhong Wanhao’s residence, they found that all of his treasures had already been swept clean.
“Who did this?”
“Who else if not that gang of Robber Cultivators!”
“Damn, they truly deserve to die!”
…
Sun Family.
“Father, Zhong Wanhao is dead.”
“I know.” Sun Juxian silently took a puff of his cigarette, then snuffed it out. He was not surprised by this outcome.
Before Pei Jinye left, he had mentioned Zhong Wanhao… wanting to follow him.
But he was rejected by Pei Jinye.
Thus, he waited from dawn till dusk, waited for the news of the reed marsh battle, and also for the news of Zhong Wanhao’s death… Only at that moment did he breathe a sigh of relief.
“To have the fortune to witness the elegance of a Sword Immortal in this life… I have no regrets!”
…
The delay caused by Zhong Wanhao’s incident lasted half a day.
The time rift where Lin Xiawei and the others went missing that year could no longer be found.
Unbeknownst to most, it’s been nearly two hundred years already.
Nothing could be more apt than to describe it as a complete change of the worlds.
He boarded the plane back to the Eastern Continent as evening approached.
Suddenly.
Pei Jinye sensed the Vitality emanating from the Blood Demon Tree.
With a thought.
…
Fragment World.
Li Xiangshan, gasping for breath, fell into a pool of blood, fiercely shouted a few times, and then pulled out the sword embedded in the opponent’s chest.
His other hand opened.
The Blood Demon Seedling that was absorbing blood was now growing.
[Vitality + 217 Card!]
The Lotus Treasure Mirror displayed the amount.
“So powerful!”
Li Xiangshan withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and tucked the Blood Demon Seedling into his chest.
Glancing around.
He summoned his Qi Sinking into Dantian, shouting loudly, “Old Ma! I’m here!!!”
Very soon, several figures dashed over, with Old Ma leading the charge.
“Young Master, are you alright?”
“I’m fine, quickly go to the City Defense Army and find out who took leave today, capture them all for interrogation,” Li Xiangshan said with a cold voice.
Old Ma was taken aback for a moment, nodded, then stepped forward to support him.
Other guards also hurried over, following closely behind.
Seeing the carnage at the scene, someone couldn’t help but say, “Young Master, these people…”
Li Xiangshan corners of his mouth raised in a cold smile, “If I hadn’t brought a few more men today, I would probably be the one lying here!”
Hearing his words, the guards hurriedly knelt on one knee.
Li Xiangshan waved his hand, “Enough, I know this has nothing to do with you. But keep today’s matters to yourselves.”
“Yes!”
Only Old Ma remained by Li Xiangshan’s side.
He asked in a low voice, “Young Master, what do you plan to do?”
Li Xiangshan calmly replied, “Someone in the city doesn’t want me to live well. Why should I let them live comfortably?”
Having said this.
He picked up a newly polished longsword.
The cold light flickered.
With a “swish,” it returned to the scabbard.
As Old Ma was filled with uncertainty, suddenly he heard Li Xiangshan’s voice.
“Old Ma, today’s misfortune turned into a blessing. I’ve entered the later stage of the Satellite Realm!”
“You are truly exceptional, Young Master!”
Old Ma was visibly shaken.
Li Xiangshan smiled but did not mention the matter of the Lotus Mirror.
When he was alone in the room, that was when he took out the Lotus Mirror.
“Treasure Mirror, Treasure Mirror, my strength has already increased substantially. I need even more powerful abilities.”
He opened the wooden box.
“I have prepared ten Geng Metal objects and a cultivation technique that can add wood attribute star patterns.”
…
“This lad really does give people a sense of anticipation.”
A slight smile curled up on Pei Jinye’s lips.
Having watched the lad’s adventures for half the day on the plane, Pei Jinye had just arrived at his residence to see Li Xiangshan calling to the Treasure Mirror.
Pei Jinye pondered for a moment.
…
Almost instantly, content appeared on the Lotus Mirror.
Li Xiangshan recited silently, “There are two exchange options… The first one: swordsmanship, named ‘Blood Sword Furnace Star Sword Chapter.’ It uses the power of the stars around the body as a starting point, moving the vitality throughout the body, and can slash out a sword in the blink of an eye, up to a hundred or a thousand swords… Holy shit, this swordsmanship is strong!”
“The second?”
“The second is ‘Sky Covering Formation Art’… Using oneself as the origin point of the stars, laying down a formation that can hide one’s traces and can kill people from beyond distances…”
Li Xiangshan gasped in astonishment.
“Damn, this is strong! I want both!”
Both the ‘Blood Sword Furnace Star Sword Chapter’ and ‘Sky Covering Formation Art’ described powers that were fatally attractive to Li Xiangshan.
“Matrix Controllers are strong and scarce… It’s said that the sects where Matrix Controllers reside do not allow the leakage of their techniques, and ordinary Matrix Controllers are weak, only those above the Eternal Star Level can be considered strong.”
“If I practiced ‘Sky Covering Formation Art,’ it would be like breaking the seals of those sects… but my family doesn’t have a Matrix Controller, it’s hard to even look for guidance on ordinary days.”
Li Xiangshan’s gaze became resolute.
“Then I choose the sword technique!”
Although he was reluctant to leave the path of formations behind, he still firmed up his choice.
Array mastery was weak in the early stages… Now, with internal and external troubles in his family, he had to become stronger as quickly as possible.
The light in front of him flickered.
Ten Geng Metal objects and a set of star-patterned tactics disappeared from in front of him.
In the next moment, rows of aphorisms of sword technique displayed above the Lotus Mirror.
“Such profound swordsmanship…”
“Blood Sword Furnace… Practicing this method can even indirectly increase my vitality!”
“The stronger my vitality, the more powerful this sword technique will be when I use it!”
“Plus, with the Blood Demon Seedling… wouldn’t that mean I would be invincible under the heavens!!!”

…
Meanwhile.
Inside a villa in the Eastern Continent.
Pei Jinye looked at the star-patterned tactics in his hand.
“To layer wood attribute on top of star patterns… I didn’t expect the martial arts philosophy of this Fragment World to be so advanced. Does this mean that other elements can also be combined with star patterns?”
