Chapter 235 - Maintaining A Low Profile Can Increase One’s Survivability

Jiang Lan looked at the youth in front of him.

He did not have much emotional fluctuations. Although he did not understand the embryonic form of Defying Seven Stars, he should be able to give some pointers.

“It’s rare to see an embryonic Defying Seven Stars. I don’t know much about it.” As soon as Jiang Lan finished speaking, the smiling face on the other side became even more superior. However, he was soon stunned because Jiang Lan spoke again.

“But I can get someone to show you.”

“Senior Brother knows someone who has mastered Defying Seven Stars?” Qu Yunji asked in surprise.

Jiang Lan shook his head and said softly.

“I don’t think so.”

Among the people he knew, there shouldn’t be anyone who practiced the Seven Stars Sword Technique.

Senior Brother Lu Jian might know, but since he wasn’t sure, he would just pretend that he didn’t.

“Then how will Senior Brother get someone to demonstrate it to me?” Qu Yunji looked at Jiang Lan, a bit puzzled.

He felt that this Senior Brother was looking for a way out.

The people at the side were also very curious. If this person didn’t know anyone who had mastered the move Defying Seven Stars, how was he supposed to ask someone to demonstrate?

Most people did not even know the existence of Defying Seven Stars.

It was only until recently when they had seen Qu Yunji showing off that they knew about it.

Some of them had also been questioned and felt very awkward.

Jiang Lan looked at the person beside him. His gaze stopped at a young man.

“Junior Brother, can you come over?”

Ban Luo pointed at himself in surprise and said.

“Senior Brother is calling me?”

Jiang Lan nodded slightly. As someone in the early-stage Foundation Building Realm, there were already traces of the Seven Stars Sword Technique on his body, so it should be enough.

Everyone was a bit shocked. Ban Luo was an honest person who was previously guiding Qu Yunji. However, he was stumped by Qi Yunji’s question previously and didn’t even have a way out.

Now, he was being mocked again?

“Senior Brother, are you asking him to demonstrate it to me?” Qu Yunji felt that this Senior Brother was just looking for a way out.

“Senior Brother, I don’t know such a sword technique.” Ban Luo also looked troubled.

He really didn’t.

“Just do as I say,” Jiang Lan explained.

After seeing that the other party didn’t say anything else, Jiang Lan told Ban Luo about the general circulation of the sword technique.

“Remember, it’s fine if you slow down a little. Your steps have to be steady. Your sword moves have to be right. Slowly circulate your qi, don’t be anxious. ”

Ban Luo was a little surprised. He felt that he had heard a different theory.

He could only try and see what would happen.

The others were also curious.

“Why does Senior Brother Ban Luo look like he’s doubting life?”

“I don’t know. Maybe Senior Brother Ban Luo feels like he can’t feel anything and knows that he is going to just take the blame?”

“Qu Yunji really dares to ask anyone. It’s good to be talented.”

“Shh! It’s only a matter of time before he becomes an immortal.”

Qu Yunji stared at Ban Luo. He didn’t feel that the other party could demonstrate anything.

This stage must be asking for a way out.

He had also heard what Jiang Lan had said. It was just a very ordinary key point of the Seven Stars Sword Technique.

“Let’s begin,” Jiang Lan said.

Ban Luo stood in the middle.

Everyone looked at him.

They were wondering if they should laugh at Ban Luo later.

Qu Yunji also watched. Although he knew Ban Luo wouldn’t be able to execute the move and demonstrate it, he still had to finish watching.

At most, he would just thank the other party and give him a way out.

In the next instant, Ban Luo moved. It was indeed the Seven Stars Sword Technique. His steps were not fast, and his sword moves were rather slow.

Jiang Lan nodded slightly. Ban Luo’s foundation was more stable than he had expected, so there shouldn’t be any problems.

The others watched. Although it was an ordinary Seven Star Sword Technique, it felt much easier to understand compared to when Ban Luo used it in the past.

Soon, he reached the point Qu Yunji mentioned.

They thought that it was impossible for Ban Luo to continue, or rather, he could only continue normally like how he usually executed it.

Yet at this moment, they saw Ban Luo’s sword technique suddenly become extremely slow, but it truly was not the normal Seven Star Sword Technique anymore.

Qu Yunji was shocked. He had thought that there would be some changes, but it turned out that it was just slowing down. It was like child’s play.

Just as he was about to say this, he realized that Ban Luo’s sword had begun to move faster. It was continuous and surging with air currents.

This…

At this moment, the Seven Star Sword Technique was brandished. It was piercingly cold, yet gentle, yet murderous.

Sword aura surged, far surpassing that of what Qu Yunji had released previously.

Woosh!

The sword rose and fell before flying.

The sword was biting cold and murderous.

A moment later, the sword fell and was retracted.

The powerful sword aura forced Qu Yunyi and the others back.

Everyone was stunned.

Qu Yunji found it even more unbelievable.

Defying Seven Stars.

How could this be?

Was this something that could be taught so casually?

At this moment, he felt a burning pain on his face.

Ban Luo’s heart was also in turmoil. He was in disbelief. He had just used Defying Seven Stars?

Or rather, the embryonic form of it?

“That’s roughly it. However, it’s just the embryonic form, so it can’t be used too much. or it will easily harm your foundation.” Jiang Lan’s voice sounded.

Then, he turned around and left. Of his two junior brothers, one was more talented, while the other was not as talented, but the one that was not as talented was not inferior at all.

He wondered which one would live longer.

Jiang Lan left. He couldn’t say anything about the actions of others.

However, due to a lack of mental fortitude, it was easy for one to lose control of their mind when they were far stronger than their peers.

Just like this Junior Brother who asked him questions. He had perfected his Qi Refinement at such a young age and was born with a sword bone. He had even learned the Seven Stars Sword Technique and comprehended the Defying Seven Stars.

Such a person was extremely rare.

That was why he couldn’t control himself and tried to show off.

As it went smoothly every time, his confidence grew.

However, if he continued as such, it was easy for him to get into trouble.

This was also the reason why Jiang Lan had been practicing the Art of Heart-Calming and the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation.

Pride could sometimes push one into the abyss.

To a point beyond redemption.

After seeing this Junior Brother today, his attitude was firmer. He needed to use this as a warning.

By telling others about his strength, he was just giving them a better way to deal with him.

It was too dangerous.

Therefore, when fighting an enemy, he had to silence them.

Otherwise, his moves would be easily targeted next time.

He had to learn how to conceal his true strength. If the enemy knew less, it meant that he had more trump cards and had a higher chance to survive.

Jiang Lan stopped thinking about it and headed to the Fifth Summit to see if his Martial Aunt was there.

If she was there, he would ask her where his master had gone.

If she wasn’t there, then he would have to make a trip out. He should be able to find something outside at night.

Especially in a place that was rumored to be more sinister.

…

When Jiang Lan arrived at the foot of the Fifth Summit, he heard someone talking.

“Two days ago, there seemed to be a small problem with the array formation hill. The elders fought to repair it until now. It’s a pity that the summit leader isn’t here. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be like this.”

“Yeah, the summit leader of the Fifth Summit has a terrifying attainment in the study of array formations.”

“That’s right, that’s right. I heard that there are array formations everywhere on the Fifth Summit. What seems like an ordinary place is actually where the ultimate killing array is located.”

“Therefore, it’s best not to run around when you come to the Fifth Summit. Otherwise, no one will know if you’re gone.”

Jiang Lan looked up at the Fifth Summit. There were indeed many traces here.

But that wasn’t what bothered him.

“Martial Aunt of the Fifth Summit is not around either. Martial Uncle of the Eighth Summit and Master have all left the mountain.”

Something had indeed happened at Kunlun.

Jiang Lan didn’t go up the Fifth Summit. Instead, he planned to leave Kunlun.

He wanted to take a look outside.

He walked out step by step.

It was getting dark.

…

…

High in the sky.

“Why do I feel that no one is paying attention to Kunlun?” The human face in the black mist looked at Liu Jing and the other three and asked curiously.

“Are you humans playing some tricks?”

“Can’t you guys use your brains?” Jiu Zhongtian drank a mouthful of wine and said.

“No one knows that you guys are planning to start the Trespassing Of Otherworldly Soldiers. If you have the ability, try making them pass through Kunlun.”

“Look at what you’re saying. If we had brains, why would we play such a boring game with you?” The face in the black mist said with a smile.

“Do you guys want to guess if our Ba Country’s ghost cultivators will pass through tonight?”
