Chapter 234: Someone Is Here To Act Cool?

Jiang Lan walked on the path which led to the Eighth Summit.

In fact, other than his master, there was no problem with the other summit leaders being away for a few days.

The Eighth Summit was even more so.

As long as Kunlun needed someone who had the offensive power, the Eighth Summit’s summit leader would definitely appear, and he would not be at a disadvantage.

However, it was more important to Jiang Lan whether he was around these few days.

The path to the Eighth Summit was not small, and there were trees surrounding it.

Mountains and rivers flowed, looking beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

The fragrance of the plants was refreshing.

There were flowers and plants everywhere on the mountain. They looked ordinary, but they were actually flowing with sword intent.

There was a powerful sword array formation here.

There should be array formations in front of all the various summits, but the Ninth Summit had fewer of them.

When he entered the sect, there was basically none.

Now, the number was slowly increasing.

Perhaps it was because his master did not think it was necessary. The most important part of the Ninth Summit was the entrance to the Netherworld. It would be safer if he just took extra precautions there.

Furthermore, his master’s array formation skills were weak.

Perhaps that was why the Ninth Summit lacked such things.

Jiang Lan didn’t know what the truth was, but he was still weak at the moment, so he needed array formations around him to feel at ease.

Only array formations could allow him to deal with more unexpected situations.

Although his master was always around, he could not let his guard down. He had to be prepared for a situation where his master was not in the Ninth Summit.

Like now.

His master had been away for three days, and he was the only one guarding the entrance to the Netherworld.

When he arrived before the Eighth Summit’s Sword Refinement Cliff, Jiang Lan wanted to hear if there was any special news.

To find someone to ask if the Martial Uncle of the Eighth Summit was in, he went to the lake.

It was just that it would seem a little abrupt if he suddenly asked someone such a question, so it was better to listen outside first.

The Sword Refinement Cliff was the place where the disciples of the Eighth Summit cultivated. There were people here who practiced with their sword here and there were also people here who were attempting to fly on their swords.

The cultivation level of the people here wasn’t high, but they loved to chat and gossip.

After standing in the resting area for a while, Jiang Lan decided to leave. He didn’t gain anything.

However, just as Jiang Lan was about to leave, he suddenly saw a youth. There was a hint of intelligence in his eyes, and there was a special sword intent on his body, as if he was born with an innate sword bone.

A very talented new disciple.

He had only perfected his Qi Refinement Realm.

He would be able to reach Foundation Establishment soon.

“Greetings, Senior Brother.”

Qu Yunji saluted as a junior and called out to Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan was not surprised that another newcomer could detect him.

There were many Kunlun geniuses, and there were always some who could sense him.

It was even easier to detect him with high cultivation.

Those with lower cultivation levels were indeed weaker. The one who had sensed him the last time was already dead.

The person was dealt with by the two summit leaders.

Comparatively speaking, the Golden Core spy had quite the reputation and should be rather honored to be hunted down by two summit leaders.

However, Jiang Lan didn’t really want such an honor.

It would just cause him to die.

Not to mention a Golden Core, even he was completely unable to face those two.

None of the nine summit leaders were weak.

“Junior Brother, what’s the matter?”

Jiang Lan nodded slightly. His voice was calm and friendly.

“I have some questions regarding sword techniques that I wish to ask Senior Brother. I wonder if Senior Brother can help me dispel my doubts,” Qu Yunji said humbly before adding.

“Master is not in the summit these few days. Senior Brother and the rest are not free either. So I can only ask Senior Brother.”

“Junior Brother’s master is a senior from the Eighth Summit?” Jiang Lan asked.

“My master is the summit leader of the Eighth Summit.” Qu Yunji said softly.

What surprised him was that the other party did not seem to envy him.

“I don’t know much about sword techniques, so I might not be able to answer your questions.”

Jiang Lan didn’t refuse, but his swordsmanship was indeed lacking.

The sword skills of the Eighth Summit’s disciples were outstanding. He might not be able to help.

However, since the other party was actually a disciple of the summit leader, it showed that his talent was outstanding.

Disciples of the various summits were rarely able to take the summit leader as their master, and it was even rarer to be taken in as a personal disciple.

Even though there were many disciples on the First and Eighth Summits, there were not many personal disciples.

One could see this during the Jade Pool’s Observation Ceremony.

There were also some outstanding disciples among them.

Besides, the other party had already said that the summit leader of the Eighth Summit was not around these few days. It seemed like he did not need to ask Senior Brother Lu Jian anymore.

“Senior Brother is too modest. It’s just some small problems,” Qu Yunji said with a smile.

It was as if he had finally found a suitable Senior Brother.

Looking at Jiang Lan’s attire, he knew that this Senior Brother had been in the sect for at least 200 years.

“Go ahead.”

Jiang Lan nodded slightly and didn’t say anything else.

After answering, he wanted to take a look at the Fifth Summit.

If the Fifth Summit summit leader was not around, it meant that something was happening in Kunlun.

It definitely had something to do with the black aura.

But he did not know what effect it would bring.

He needed to go out and take a look. If necessary, he would take action.

The black aura at the Jade Pool was related to Xiao Yu, as well as his future cultivation. Such hidden danger couldn’t be left behind.

“It’s some questions regarding the Seven Stars Sword Technique,” Qu Yunji said softly.

“I’ll demonstrate it once for Senior Brother to see. There’s one point where I feel a little strange.”

Then, Qu Yunji began to execute the Seven Stars Sword Technique.

The Seven Stars Sword Technique was only suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators, and not just anyone could learn it.

This disciple had decent resources and was extremely talented in swordplay.

Jiang Lan had some guesses.

Qu Yunyi executed the Seven Stars Sword Technique and waved the sword in his hand like light.

It did seem pretty good.

It was indeed impressive.

Jiang Lan had spent quite a lot of time cultivating back then. Practice is needed to make something perfect.

Woosh!

The sword seemed to be tearing through the air.

And at this moment, the other party’s swordplay was no longer smooth and stopped.

“This is the place where I have a problem.” Qu Yunji looked at Jiang Lan and said with some doubt.

“Once I reach this point, I felt that it is no longer smooth. Senior Brother, can you give me some pointers?”

This matter attracted the attention of several people around them. They all felt like they were watching a show.

Jiang Lan didn’t pay much attention to it. Instead, he said softly.

“Your heart is restless. Just relax.”

Qu Yunji was surprised to hear this answer. Then, he tried to say.

“Isn’t it because there is something wrong with the circulation of my qi? Oh, that’s right. When I arrived here, I discovered a new qi circulation method. I’ll demonstrate it to Senior Brother. Do help to see if there are any problems.”

Jiang Lan frowned. Why did it feel like this person wasn’t here to seek guidance?

However, he didn’t pay much attention to it. At this moment, the other party had once again executed the Seven Stars Sword Technique.

When he arrived at his previous position, his sword was once again faster. However, the position that should have stopped suddenly changed 180 degrees.

The originally gentle Seven Star Sword began to become biting cold, and its power began to increase.

Splash!

Sword aura spread out with a strength comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

It was extremely powerful.

The embryonic form of the Defying Seven Stars.

Jiang Lan was a little surprised that the other party already touched on the embryonic form of the Defying Seven Stars.

However, it was not easy for him to explain this. He had never experienced how it felt like to be in the embryonic form before. Instead, he had directly formed it.

He mastered it when he was familiarizing himself with this sword move.

He had never delved into this.

Most of his energy was focused on the Nine Steps of Heavenly Travel and the Power of Nine Bulls.

“How does Senior Brother feel? Is there a problem with this sword technique?” Is it still because I am restless?” Qu Yunji asked. Although he appeared humble, there was actually a hint of arrogance.

The surrounding people watched and whispered.

“He’s deliberately seeking guidance from a Senior Brother again. It is said that it is extremely difficult to learn the sword technique, Defying Seven Stars. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators and Golden Core cultivators might not be able to understand this, let alone a Qi Refinement cultivator. Even those at the Essence Soul Realm know very little about this.”

“With the summit leader’s favor, he’s really not afraid of offending these Senior Brothers.”

“What can we do? The other party’s talent is indeed high. I wonder how this Senior Brother will step down.”

Jiang Lan naturally heard the voice beside him. He was a little emotional.

If this Junior Brother did not restrain himself, he might not live for long.

“Senior brother, did you not see clearly? Do you want me to demonstrate again?” Qu Yunji looked at Jiang Lan and asked again.
