Chapter 96: Sensing A Murderous Intent
Jiu Zhongtian said nothing more.
He then asked curiously.
“Did the Heavenly Human Race not come to question us?”
“They have been very quiet. There has not been a word from them.” Feng Yixiao said as he continued to drink the tea on the stone table.
“I will make another trip to the Heavenly Human Race.” Jiu Zhongtian directly said.
“Is it alright if you do so?”
“Why not?”
“The Heavenly Human Race’s elder just died on our side. Now that you’re going, you’ll be caught in the crossfire.”
“Does it have anything to do with us? Since they wanted to challenge us, we have to challenge them back. Not being able to go back was their problem. This time, it’s enough for me to go with Lu Jian, “said Jiu Zhongtian directly.
Then, Jiu Zhongtian left.
Feng Yixiao drank a cup of tea before disappearing.

Jiang Lan had always been cultivating.
He had spent a month familiarizing himself with his current strength.
He would occasionally consume a pill to reinforce his cultivation.
He did not spend the entire month on the Ninth Summit.
After hearing his master’s suggestion, he decided to take a look around the other parts of Kunlun.
He didn’t go anywhere special.
Hence, he did not gain anything special from signing in.
However, he managed to see myriad types of people as well as what they spoke about.
He saw others being excited, angry, and jealous.
Some were worth learning while some were worth some self-reflection.
There was no harm in going out.
Especially when there was no danger.
Half a month ago, he received two Dharma treasures as well, and they were sent over by a Senior Brother from the Eighth Summit.
He said that his Senior Brother Lu Jian had specially chosen these for him.
They were not the best, but the most suitable.
The first item was a copper mirror known as the Self Mirror.
The effect of it was very straightforward.
It could manifest a projection of the user based on the user’s cultivation and allow the user to fight against it.
According to the Eighth Summit’s Senior Brother, Jiang Lan rarely went out and lacked experience. He didn’t understand what flaws he had, nor did he have any experience in fighting enemies.
The Self Mirror could help him make up for his shortcomings in this aspect.
Jiang Lan agreed with this.
However, it was really difficult for him to fight against himself.
Using the Power of Nine Bulls against the Power of Nine Bulls, who knew what would happen.
However, it could be used up till before he became an immortal.
He could still use it for a long time.
The second item was an Eight Trigrams Disk.
This Dharma treasure was also an auxiliary Dharma treasure.
The Eight Trigrams Disk was mainly used to simulate array formations and reflect the effects of the formation.
It would save a lot of materials from experimentation.
The Senior Brother of the Eighth Summit said that it was a pity to waste his talent in array formations.
He could use the array formation to test himself. If he was indeed talented, he could develop in this direction.
Jiang Lan agreed.
Therefore, he accepted both Dharma treasures.
However, it was not very useful at the moment.
After all, he was still consolidating his cultivation base and familiarizing himself with spell techniques.
A journey must be taken one step at a time. Food must be eaten one bite at a time. Cultivation should be done like this too.
It was impossible to master every aspect.
There was not enough time.
So it was important to follow an order.
However, he had heard some things over the past month.
The three immortals from the Heavenly Human Race that came to Kunlun died.
The Martial Uncle of the Eighth Summit had brought Lu Jian to the base of the Heavenly Human Race and had yet to return.
Jiang Lan stood up and poured some spirit liquid over the Udumbara Flower and the vegetative egg.
The Udumbara Flower was as lifeless as ever, as if it would wither soon.
His master had given him the information regarding flowers.
He did as he was told, raising it very carefully.
But…
It was still listless.
He had no choice.
He could only continue to raise it and hope that the flower would survive the ordeal.
The vegetative egg did not change much. It was very stable.
It had been stable for a hundred years and hadn’t caused any trouble for Jiang Lan.
After doing all of this, Jiang Lan left the Ninth Summit. He wanted to go out for a stroll.
Every time he went to a different place, he made sure he was not noticed.
Once someone noticed him, he would leave.
However, there were indeed some people who knew him, which made him feel a little troubled.
“I heard that the Martial Uncle of the Eighth Summit has returned, but he’s injured.”
“It seems that he was attacked by the demons while coming back. Senior Brother Lu Jian was also heavily injured.”
“I’ve heard a lot about demons recently. I wonder what they are up to.”
“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Do you all know the result of the Eighth Summit’s Senior Brother challenge with the Heavenly Human Race?”
“Results? I’ve never heard of them, but I’ve heard that those he challenged were all immortals. He had one battle a day and fought for nine straight days.”
“I think he won five matches in a row, and the sixth match was a draw.”
Jiang Lan left the spot he was at.
He had met Lu Jian before.
It was the person who had come to greet him initially.
However, he was surprised that the other party was so strong.
Even if the rumors were slightly exaggerated, he was still considered strong.
He had fought with Miao Xiu before.
Those from the Heavenly Human Race had extremely great talent.
If not for his sneak attack and the other party’s arrogance, he would definitely not have been able to kill him in one strike.
“From this, it can be seen that even with talent or trump cards, I cannot underestimate my enemies.”
Otherwise, Miao Xiu today might be him tomorrow.
As his cultivation increased, it became easier for him to underestimate his enemies.
However, no one knew how the three Heavenly Human Race immortals died.
Jiang Lan was confused as well.
It definitely looked like someone from Kunlun had acted, but would Kunlun really attack when the other party was so close to Kunlun?
It didn’t feel like it.
It was possible that Kunlun was framed as well.
“However, my name is most likely known by the Heavenly Human Race. I hope that they won’t pay attention to me.”
Jiang Lan then went somewhere else to continue his stroll.
After that, he returned to continue cultivating.
However, he suddenly felt someone staring at him from behind.
It was a very weak feeling.
However, he didn’t stop and continued walking.
He was prepared to counterattack.
“Who could it be?”
Jiang Lan was puzzled as he walked.
This was the first time he had been targeted by his fellow disciples in Kunlun.
Previously, it had happened in the mystic realm. However, back then, it wasn’t solely targeted towards him.
Now the other party was specifically targeting him.
Jiang Lan didn’t return immediately, nor did he look behind him. He maintained his normal speed and the same walking rhythm.
However, he would try to walk where there were a lot of people.
He had no idea what the other party’s cultivation was or what the other party wanted.
“I don’t feel any kindness or malice. However, such a calm gaze is abnormal. Or is he using something else to observe me? ”
Jiang Lan couldn’t confirm who exactly it was, but he couldn’t rule out that it was someone from the Heavenly Human Race.
There were a bunch of Kunlun spies in Kunlun, so it wasn’t impossible for someone from the Heavenly Human Race to be hiding here.
After a long time, Jiang Lan headed towards the Ninth Summit.
There were fewer people on the way back to the Ninth Summit.
The place began to feel remote.
There were some places where one would not be discovered if one acted there.
Kunlun wasn’t small.
Most of the summits were barren mountains.
Jiang Lan arrived at a relatively remote area on his sword. At this time, he felt a wisp of killing intent.
The moment he sensed the killing intent, the power in his body started to gather.
As long as the other party dared to make a move, he would be able to sense the other party’s cultivation immediately.
He could either kill him with one strike or escape back to the Ninth Summit.
He was unable to detect his opponent’s location, so he was either at the Void Refinement Realm or possessed a special Dharma treasure.
It was not certain who would win in the fight.
However, with the Nine Steps of Heavenly Travel, he could definitely run away to safety.
