Chapter 0409 – The Breach in the Mural – Absolute Return

Jian Wuji did not immediately leave the Great Wind Valley.

He had come here with great difficulty, how could he leave so easily?

He first carefully explored the internal environment of the Great Wind Valley. It was isolated from the world, like a separate space.

It would be perfect to use this place as a stronghold. Not to mention the fact that this place is extremely well concealed, and even if the enemy knows about this place, they won’t be able to enter.

Of course, wanting to bring someone here, his kung fu, was far from enough.

“When my power improves a bit more, I must build a separate compound here.” Jian Wuji secretly said in his heart.

Before he left, he had one more important thing to do.

He utilized the “Time and Space Shift Technique” to slow down the flow of time, and then began to cultivate the “Nine Chinese Demonic Skills”.

He had used up all his potential during his journey through the Great Wind Valley, and had also gained some insights. He wanted to verify whether or not his “Nine Huas Demonic Skill” had improved.

Although this place was deserted, he still performed the “Time Shift Technique”, on the one hand, in order to protect the environment here, and on the other hand, in order to save time. For him, time was life, and the lives of everyone around him.

Under the support of the “Time and Space Transformation Technique”, Jian Wuji began practicing the “Nine Huas Demonic Skill”. He carefully practiced every move and every style from beginning to end.

The first style, the annihilation style.

“Swish!”

Four ghostly shadows, appearing in the four directions of southeast, west, north and west, waved their sharp swords, emitting gusts of ghostly whistles.

“Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!”

This time, the annihilation style was different from the past.

In the previous Annihilation Styles, the four ghostly shadows simply appeared and then disappeared. This time, however, the four ghostly shadows actually made eye contact with each other.

The vicious ghostly shadow looked at the handsome ghostly shadow; the mysterious ghostly shadow, and the wise ghostly shadow, looked at each other.

Jian Wuji was able to sense that these four ghostly shadows, no longer mere phantoms, possessed consciousness and emotions.

Although it was only for a moment, he clearly felt that these four ghostly shadows, seemed to be whispering.

It’s a feeling that’s very real.

One of the wise ghostly shadows, before disappearing, even gave Jian Wuji a special glance, his eyes filled with reluctance.

Jian Wuji turned to the four ghostly shadows and said, “Nice to meet you all.”

Although the four ghostly shadows had disappeared, he still uttered the words. He felt that he was one step closer to the Heavenly Demon Soul.

Next, is the second style, the Great Destruction Style.

“Swish Swish Swish ……”

Originally there were only eight ghostly shadows, but now they had become ten.

“Boom Boom Boom ……”

Ten ghostly shadows, like a raging storm, swept over everything.

The third style, the Great Demon Wall.

The wall formed by the true qi became more solid and stronger.

Fourth stance, a dark flash.

“Whoosh!”

Darkness descended, deeper and heavier than ever.

“Shoo!”

A sword light, cutting through the darkness, was swifter and more severe than ever.

Jian Wuji didn’t try the fifth style because he felt that it wasn’t the right time yet. He needed time to digest this epiphany.

He knew that this breakthrough was a gift from that old man, an affirmation and encouragement.

“I will continue to work hard.” Jian Wuji secretly said in his heart.

He believes that with perseverance, one day he will achieve his goal.

When leaving the Great Wind Valley, Jian Wuji didn’t struggle to walk against the wind like he did when he came.

He stood at the source of the gale and raised his inner strength to its limit before leaping forward and letting the gale carry him away.

“I’m outta here!”

Jian Wuji shouted loudly, letting the gale blow him into the distance.

He was sure that one day he would return here again.

Cold Snow’s heart was filled with contradictions.

Elder Xu’s name put her in a dilemma.

Elder Xu was the person her mother trusted the most, and the most respected elder in the Ice Palace.

“Will the Ice Palace Master, really be involved in this matter?”

Li An saw through Cold Snow’s worries with a single glance.

“We should be cautious.” Liam said.

“I want to see Elder Xu alone.”

“Do you visit him often?”

Coldsnow shook his head.

“Then he’s bound to be suspicious if you go to see him all of a sudden.”

“Do you think he would believe me if I told him that I was ordered to investigate the death of the former Palace Master?”

Even if Elder Xu believed it, what could he do? Li An was worried that Cold Snow would not be able to recognize Elder Xu’s lies.

“If you can’t tell if he’s lying, then we’re spooking him and putting him on the defensive.”

Cold Snow understood this as well.

“So what do we do?”

“We should tell the Young Lord.”

Cold Snow hesitated, she had managed to find a clue with great difficulty, could she just give up? She wanted to rely on her own strength to find out the truth.

Li An could see what was on Cold Snow’s mind and said, “You’ve already done enough, you’ve already made a great achievement by finding this clue of Elder Xu.”

Cold Snow eventually compromised.

“Okay, let’s go back.”

This matter, it concerned Elder Xu, so it had to be handled carefully. Moreover, she also wanted to see what exactly Jian Wuji was capable of.

The two of them returned to their residence, only to find that Jian Wuji was not there.

“Where is the young prelate?” Li An asked.

“He went out.” The Wine Devil said.

“It’s just at this time of the year that he’s not even here.” Li An Xin secretly said, “If I had known, I wouldn’t have come back.”

“He must have gone on an important errand.” Liam said with a smile, hiding his disappointment.

“He said he was going to ward off the cold.” The Wine Devil said.

“Against the cold?” Liam was confused, “Did he go shopping for winter clothes?”

“That’s all he said, and then he left.”

Li An sighed helplessly, turned his head to Han Xue, and asked, “Shall we go see Elder Xu now?”

“Now?” Coldsnow froze for a moment, then laughed.

“You laughed?” Liam said in surprise.

“I was just sneering.” Coldsnow said.

“A sneer is a smile too, and, I know the most beautiful sneer in the world.” A voice, from the door.

The three of them turned their heads to look, only to see Jian Wuji walk in.

“Young Preceptor, you’re back!” Li An said in surprise.

“I’m going to blow off some steam.” Jian Wuji said indifferently.

He’s blown a lot of wind on this trip.

Half an hour later, an uninvited guest came to Elder Xu’s residence.

“The Young Palace Master and the Demon Sect’s Young Master, seek an audience.”

Xu Luo was not surprised to hear this news.

“Invite them in.”

Soon, Jian Wuji and Cold Snow arrived at Xu Luo’s room.

“Elder Xu, I’ve heard a lot about you.” Jian Wuji cupped his fists and saluted.

“Today I finally meet the legendary Demon Sect Young Master.”

The two exchanged pleasantries.

Xu Luo wore a smile, his tone was gentle and his demeanor was elegant, at first glance, he was a highly respected senior.

He exuded a warmth that made people want to be close to him.
