Wu Shattered Star River

Under the night sky, a warship pierced through the air, its speed comparable to that of a Mountain Sea Realm ninth-level powerhouse running at full speed.

Inside a cabin of the warship, Niu Meng, Qi Bing, and Zuo Yiyi sat around Jiang Lang, while Jiang Han was in a corner, meditating to heal his injuries.

"So, you're saying…"

Zuo Yiyi stared at Jiang Lang and asked, "You are a direct descendant of the Jiang family? Then, are you really the grandson of Undying Lord? Why did Undying Lord say your grandfather wants to capture you back?"

Jiang Lang glanced at Jiang Han and said, "Jiang Undying is my second grandpa. I am the direct grandson of Jiang Changsheng, and my father is called Jiang Wushang."

"Hmph!"

Jiang Han, sitting in the corner, snorted coldly but didn't open his eyes.

He was expressing his dissatisfaction. Jiang Lang had previously lied to him, saying that his grandfather was a servant of Jiang Undying.

"Jiang Wushang?"

Zuo Yiyi blinked her eyes, saying suspiciously, "I seem to have heard my mother mention him before. Right… how is my mother so familiar with you?"

"Because Aunt Meng grew up with my mother!"

Jiang Lang explained, "Aunt Meng was with my mother since she was little. Later, she married your father and left my mother. But Aunt Meng goes to Wolong Mountain for half a month every year. I was raised by Aunt Meng."

Jiang Lang spoke euphemistically, but everyone understood. Ling Yunmeng was Jiang Lang's mother's maid. Later, she married Zuo Tianxing and left Wolong Mountain.

"Pa ~"

Zuo Yiyi slapped the back of Jiang Lang's head, not afraid of him just because he was a young master of the Jiang family.

Zuo Yiyi puffed up her cheeks and said angrily, "Why didn't you reveal your identity earlier, you dead fatty? If you had gone to the Sky Wolf Hall alone, even if the Golden Wolf King and the others had ten times the guts, they wouldn't have dared to touch you. You're the one who caused Granny Liu's death."

Zuo Yiyi had deep feelings for Granny Liu, who had protected and doted on her since she was a child.

"Alas ~"

Jiang Lang sighed slightly and said, "There are many things I can't say. If I could, I definitely wouldn't have come forward. And it's not convenient for me to use the Jiang family's power, otherwise, I wouldn't have asked Undying Grandpa to take action."

Everyone was silent. Qi Bing patted Zuo Yiyi's shoulder and changed the topic, saying, "Young Master Jiang, why would a dignified young master of the Jiang family hole up in Yunmeng Pavilion for so long?"

"Aren't the Jiang family looking for you to go back? Isn't Jiang Lang your real name? Is your current appearance not your true face?"

Jiang Lang shook his head and said, "No, Jiang Lang is my real name, and my appearance hasn't been altered. In fact, after my parents died ten years ago, I rarely showed my face. Not many people in the Jiang family and the outside world know me."

"No one in the Jiang family pays much attention to me. The truly hidden are hidden in plain sight. They probably wouldn't have thought I would hide in a lord-level force. Hmm… my grandfather should know I'm here, but he just hasn't bothered with me."

As Jiang Lang spoke, his expression became gloomy, and he sighed, saying, "After this battle, the Jiang family will probably send someone soon. My good days are coming to an end."

"To be honest, the year or so in Yunmeng Pavilion was the happiest time of my life."

"Tch!"

Zuo Yiyi spat lightly and said, "Of course you're happy. You eat, drink, and have fun every day, peep at female disciples bathing, steal female disciples' undergarments, and live a carefree life in Dark City. You have no worries and can play however you want. How could you not be happy?"

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Jiang Lang's face, and he coughed lightly, saying, "Zuo Yiyi, we're about to part ways. Who knows when we'll see each other again. Can't you be nicer to me?"

"Hmph!"

Zuo Yiyi snorted coldly and said, "Is your Jiang family a dragon's den or a tiger's lair? Once you go in, you can't come out? You can come back to Yunmeng Pavilion to see us in the future."

Jiang Lang pursed his lips, his expression becoming dim, and he sighed, saying, "Wolong Mountain isn't a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, but it is a prison. Once I go in, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to come out."

"Why?"

Zuo Yiyi was puzzled, but Jiang Lang didn't explain.

He turned to another matter and said, "I'll make arrangements for you before I leave. When Wang Pingzhi comes, I'll have Wang Pingzhi take you all to the Seven Fiends Palace for key cultivation."

"With Wang Pingzhi around, Yunmeng Pavilion will be very safe. Well… I can't take you to the Jiang family. If you go to the Jiang family, your days will be very difficult. It's better to stay in Yunmeng Pavilion or the Seven Fiends Palace."

Everyone felt the weight in Jiang Lang's words. This time, even Zuo Yiyi didn't mock Jiang Lang.

Jiang Lang turned his gaze to Jiang Han in the corner and said sincerely, "Jiang Han, I had no choice but to deceive you before. I hope you can understand that I have my own difficulties."

Jiang Han opened his eyes, looking at Jiang Lang's apologetic gaze. In his mind, he recalled the scenes that had happened in the "Qilin Gambling House". Many of the doubts in his heart were resolved at this moment.

Jiang Lang and he fought Han Shiqi in the Qilin Gambling House, but the people in Dark City didn't move.

It seemed that it wasn't just because of that token, but because Jiang Lang was indeed a direct descendant of the Jiang family, or perhaps someone from the Jiang family was secretly nearby.

Also, they won so many Xuan stones, but the people from the Qilin Gambling House didn't cause them any trouble.

Later, when they left the gambling house and went to the best inn in the largest Dark City in Yunzhou, the innkeeper even gave them a discount?

In addition, Jiang Lang had an endless supply of divine talismans, including many Heaven-rank divine talismans. Jiang Lang's extensive knowledge and so on, countless mysteries were now solved.

Jiang Lang was the direct grandson of Jiang Changsheng, the head of the Jiang family. He was the Jiang family's heir apparent. Many things that Jiang Han couldn't understand before now had an explanation.

However, why was the dignified Jiang family heir only at the third or fourth level of the Profound Nether Realm?

Also, why would he hole up in a small Yunmeng Pavilion for more than a year? Jiang Han couldn't quite figure this out.

Perhaps these were… the difficulties he spoke of?

Jiang Han was silent for a moment, then opened his mouth and said, "I don't know any young master of the Jiang family. I only have a friend called Jiang Lang. If he acknowledges me, I will acknowledge him as my brother for life."

"That's settled!"

Jiang Lang grinned and said, "Good brother, for life!"

Jiang Han didn't ask any further questions. Jiang Lang would tell him what he should tell him, and it was pointless to ask about what he shouldn't.

As long as Jiang Lang was still the same Jiang Lang as before, that was enough.

Jiang Han didn't ask any further questions, but Jiang Lang asked back, "I say, Brother Han, how did you get that Suanni beast? Shouldn't you explain it to us?"

"You wouldn't want to tell me that the Suanni beast, like the little fox, was encountered in the wild and willingly followed you? Also, how did you escape during the attack by the two wolf kings?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Zuo Yiyi woke up to the question. Qi Bing and Niu Meng turned their gazes over, and everyone was very curious.

"Uh…"

Jiang Han was stunned, a look of embarrassment on his face.

This matter was indeed difficult to explain. Could it be that he had to tell everyone about his mother? If he didn't talk about his mother, how could he explain it clearly?

"Get ready to go down. Yunmeng City is almost here!"

Just as Jiang Han didn't know how to answer, Ling Yunmeng's voice rang out from outside.

Jiang Han was instantly relieved and quickly got up, saying, "This matter is a long story. I'll tell you later. We're about to disembark."

"Tch ~"

Zuo Yiyi rolled her eyes, dissatisfied, saying, "Jiang Han, how have you become like that dead fatty? Are there many things you can't say? Are you also going to learn from the dead fatty and steal the undergarments of female disciples?"

"How is that possible?"

Jiang Han's face turned red all of a sudden. This Zuo Yiyi was really reckless, daring to say anything, not ashamed at all.

"Hey, hey, hey, if you're talking about Jiang Han, just talk about Jiang Han. Why bring me into it?"

Jiang Lang was unhappy, glaring and saying, "Zuo Pingping, I've never stolen yours. Hmm… I wouldn't even want it if you gave it to me!"

"Ah, ah, ah!"

These two words seemed to have become Zuo Yiyi's taboo, and Zuo Yiyi exploded.

Seeing this, Jiang Lang's body flashed, and he quickly slipped out. Zuo Yiyi picked up a bench in the cabin and chased out with murderous intent…
