Wu Shattered Star River

Gan Yu was at the ninth level of the Purple Mansion Realm. When Jiang Han was only at the seventh level of the Purple Mansion Realm a few months ago, killing those at the ninth level was as easy as cutting vegetables. Now, his combat power is even more effortless.

"Boom!"

In just two moves, Jiang Han dodged Gan Yu's attack and, with a backhand strike, cleaved Gan Yu to death.

During the battle, he surprisingly discovered that after the transformation of his physical body, not only had his strength greatly increased, but his reaction speed had also improved significantly, as if his realm had been elevated by two levels.

After killing Gan Yu, Jiang Han ran away with his blade. Now that he had started killing, he would naturally not let Jiang Peng escape.

He had always been like this back in Jiang Family Town; he would either not act, or if he did, he would ensure the enemy's death.

Jiang Peng had a few breaths' head start, but after Jiang Han's physical transformation, his speed had increased considerably. He caught up with Jiang Peng after running only a hundred zhang.

Hearing the sound of Jiang Han rushing over from behind, fear filled Jiang Peng's eyes.

He turned his head and saw that Jiang Han was only a few zhang away. He hurriedly shouted, "Jiang Han, don't kill me! We both belong to the Cloud Dream Pavilion. The pavilion has an iron rule against internal strife, or you will surely die!"

"Heh!"

Jiang Han sneered and said, "When you hired assassins to kill me, why weren't you afraid of the pavilion's iron rule? Only you are allowed to kill me, but I'm not allowed to kill you? There's no such logic in the world!"

"Jiang Han, I was wrong!"

Jiang Peng shouted again, "My father left me three thousand Xuan stones. I've used one thousand, and I'll give you the remaining two thousand."

"We are all from the Jiang clan. There's no need to be so extreme. I promise I won't target you again in the future. After I go back, I'll withdraw from the pavilion and return to Jiang Family Town. I'll never meet you again, so please don't kill me!"

"Too late…"

Jiang Han used a Shadow Shift to appear in front of Jiang Peng. His long blade, filled with chilling killing intent, slashed towards Jiang Peng's face.

Jiang Peng was already terrified and his mind was in chaos. How could he react? He was sent flying by Jiang Han's blade, his head shattered.

Jiang Han walked to Jiang Peng's corpse, dripping blade in hand, and said expressionlessly, "If you had returned to Jiang Family Town before and not come back to the Cloud Dream Pavilion, or if you hadn't looked for trouble with me, I might have let you go. If you want to kill me, then be prepared to be killed by me."

Jiang Han scanned around and found a space ring on Jiang Peng. This space ring was likely Jiang Xiaotian's, and the two thousand Xuan stones Jiang Peng mentioned should be inside.

Jiang Han unceremoniously took off the space ring and then dragged Jiang Peng's corpse towards the cave.

Now that the person was dead, he naturally couldn't leave the corpse here.

Yesterday, many members of the Breaking Army Squad had appeared. If the three corpses were discovered, he would be the prime suspect.

Therefore, he had to destroy the evidence, or at least not leave any behind.

Taking Jiang Peng's corpse back to the cave, Jiang Han pondered for a moment and directly found some vines to tie up the three corpses. Then, he dragged them towards the previous underground cave.

Going all the way down, when he was about to reach the entrance of the cave with the golden giant coffin, he threw the three corpses down.

He lay nearby and sensed that the vines below were swarming up, entangling the three corpses. Only then did he feel relieved and walked back.

As he walked back, he collapsed the passage.

This place was seven hundred zhang below the ground. He didn't believe anyone could dig all the way here. The air here was too thin; even those in the Profound Origin Realm probably couldn't withstand it, right?

Even if they dug here, would they dare to go down?

Those vines were so terrifying. He estimated that even two Mountain Sea Realm cultivators would have a hard time surviving, right? And there was the terrifying existence inside the golden giant coffin. If it broke free from the seal, who could withstand it?

After collapsing the entire tunnel, Jiang Han cleaned up the blood in the cave and outside before quickly leaving.

He found a small stream nearby to wash up, dried his clothes with Xuan Qi, and then left quickly without stopping.

When he arrived at the foot of Cloud Dream Mountain, the two mountain-guarding disciples saw him and revealed surprised expressions.

The two disciples dared not ask or stop him, allowing Jiang Han to go up the mountain.

He returned to the God of Slaughter Courtyard smoothly. Everything was normal here. Niu Meng was still basking in the sun in the courtyard, dozing off, and Jiang Li was still in seclusion, cultivating Xuan power.

Jiang Han washed up again, changed into clean clothes, and sat on the bed, recalling what had happened earlier.

On the other side!

Han Linfeng received the news of Jiang Han's return, and he cursed Jiang Peng and the others for being useless.

At the same time, he had people notify the members of the Breaking Army Squad to return. Now that Jiang Han had returned, there was no point in those people wandering around outside.

After sitting on the bed for an hour, Jiang Han's heart gradually calmed down.

He clarified some things. He did not intend to tell anyone about killing Jiang Peng and the other two, not even Zuo Yiyi and the others.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Zuo Yiyi and the others, but that if they knew about this, it would only cause them trouble.

He was the one who killed them, so he would bear the responsibility if anything happened.

He also did not intend to report the news of the golden giant coffin, because the corpses of Jiang Peng and the others were there. Reporting it would expose his killing.

Also… that place was too strange. He was afraid that Ling Yunmeng might not be able to withstand it, and reporting it might harm Ling Yunmeng.

What exactly was inside the golden giant coffin?

Jiang Han was very curious, but he knew even better that with his current strength, exploring it would only lead to death.

Therefore, this secret could only be hidden in his heart. If he one day possessed overwhelming combat power, he could then go and investigate it.

"This ring cannot be kept!"

Jiang Han took out Jiang Peng's space ring. Although there were two thousand Xuan stones inside, there were probably many other treasures as well.

However, Jiang Peng had already blood-recognized this ring. He needed to find a weapon refiner to remove the mark, or he wouldn't be able to take out the things inside.

If he went to find a weapon refiner, he would likely be exposed. There were also Jiang Peng's items inside. Once discovered, they would all be evidence of murder.

"Bang!"

He directly crushed the space ring with force.

After the space ring exploded, the space inside would collapse, and everything stored inside would be crushed into powder by the powerful spatial force.

"Seclusion cultivation!"

Jiang Han sat down cross-legged, deciding to cultivate for two hours to completely forget what had happened in the morning.

Thinking too much was meaningless. Anyway, he was determined to deny everything.

He couldn't cultivate Xuan power, so he could only find a way to open the Profound Origin Hidden Treasure.

His mind sank into the Purple Mansion Hidden Treasure, contemplating the altar.

Then, his mind followed the route of Xuan power circulation, contemplating the entire body, searching for the location of the Profound Origin Hidden Treasure.

Half an hour later!

His Xuan power circulated in a main meridian in his lower abdomen, and a section of that main meridian became narrow.

After passing through this section of the meridian, there was suddenly a large bend, and the meridian became thicker, and the speed of Xuan power circulation was increasing.

At this moment, a scene suddenly appeared in Jiang Han's mind.

He remembered being chased by the ghost-masked man and about to faint, breaking open the cave where the golden giant coffin was stored with both hands, and the moment he smelled the fresh space, his whole person seemed to come alive.

"A winding path leads to a secluded place, a sudden turn reveals a bright prospect, a sudden enlightenment!"

Jiang Han's soul shook, and he suddenly had a feeling of being enlightened. The problem that had troubled him for so long was solved at this moment.

He quickly circulated Xuan power and violently impacted the bend in the main meridian.

Slowly, an opening appeared, and Xuan power continuously poured into this opening.

The opening became larger and larger, and a hidden treasure opened its mysterious door.

The Profound Origin Hidden Treasure opened, and Jiang Han broke through to the Profound Origin Realm.
