Swallowing the Stars: Realm of Control

Chapter 84 The Void Mirror

"Master, it's absolutely true!"

Jian Zi shouted:

"That kid named Xingchen is extremely arrogant. He doesn't respect you at all. I mentioned your name, Wuxu Swordsman, but he completely ignored me."

"snort."

"A mere brat dares to look down on my Five Peaks Sect. He's simply taking advantage of our lack of talent."

"Disciple, call your senior brothers and replace the city lord of Dongmu County. Then capture Xingchen and torture him to death slowly."

Of course, Jian Wuxu couldn't go in person. Going would be considered bullying the weak, and would only invite ridicule from the Sword Peak Sect and the entire Five Peaks Sect. He still had some self-respect.

Moreover, having the disciples of the Five Peaks Sect collect the fifty percent of the Qi Sand was a benefit for them personally, and did not involve the entire sect.

In other words, this is a matter for the disciples themselves, and they must resolve it on their own.

Unless the disciple is killed, that would be a serious matter.

"My fellow students?"

Jian Zi looked slightly embarrassed. The few he was close to weren't strong enough, and he couldn't find any of the others who were too strong right now. "Master, how about you arrange one for me?"

"Okay, I'll have your Senior Brother Jian Shijiu* Luo Ren come over. I'll have him go with you," Jian Wuxu said, immediately taking out his communication device and sending the message.

"Senior Brother Jian Shijiu?" Jian Zi's eyes lit up. This senior brother should be at the peak of the new body realm, with outstanding strength. What is Yan Dongmu from Dongmu County in front of him?

Besides, what is a mere deputy city lord of Xingchen City?

"but."

Jian Wuxu pondered for a moment, "As you know, when you ask someone to do something, you have to give something in return. Although your Senior Brother Jian Shijiu is obedient, it's unlikely that you'll get him to help you for nothing. You have to give me something in return so I can ask for your help."

"Master, rest assured, I am willing to contribute 500,000 Qi Sands. When the time comes, after we raid Yan Dongmu's house, all the Qi Sands will be under my control, Senior Brother." Jian Zuo immediately expressed his opinion.

Jian Wuxu then nodded.

Although it's a small amount, it's mainly to help with tasks.

In less than five minutes, a tall, thin man dressed in a magnificent sword robe and carrying a longsword with a silver hilt on his back walked in: "Master, Junior Brother."

"Nineteen, your junior brother was bullied in Dongmu County. As his senior brother, I hope you can take action and go to Dongmu County to demand an explanation. If the other party cooperates, you can retain your position as city lord. If they don't cooperate, then just kill them and replace them. The position of city lord of a county is something that many people want to hold."

Jian Wuxu looked at the approaching young man and gave him his orders quite directly.

"Senior brother, I'm willing to offer 500,000 Qi Sands," Jian Zi said. "Yan Dongmu must have many good things on him, which I can give to you."

"The other deputy city lord, Xingchen, has probably already fled to the wilderness. I wonder if you have any means of tracking him down or any detection methods?" Jian Zi asked.

"I can help you find Yan Dongmu, but if you don't have a place for the other person, then I can't help you either. If you're willing, you can go to Tianfeng Sect to ask for the 'Void Mirror'. With the Void Mirror, as long as he is still within Fengzhou, we should be able to find his whereabouts."

Jian Luoren replied without any expression.

Among his fellow apprentices, he always did things for money. He would do what he could, and if he couldn't, it depended on how much he was paid.

"The Void Mirror?"

Jian Zi shook his head. That was an important magic weapon of the Five Peaks Sect, capable of illuminating every location within the Peak Continent. Even if he emptied his pockets, he couldn't afford to use it. Even if it was an eighth-grade or seventh-grade Qi Sand, it would cost more than ten million for one use.

This was purely a joke.

People like them have certain menial tasks within the Five Peaks Sect to help gather Qi and refine it into Qi Sand, but their monthly salary is not much.

"Then let's deal with Yan Dongmu first. He dared to threaten me, so I think we have to get rid of him." A murderous glint appeared in Jian Zuo's eyes.

He can be flexible and adaptable, but he's also absolutely vengeful. Why would anyone want to mess with him? They're just asking for trouble.

"Then you can go. As disciples of the Five Peaks Sect, you don't need to worry too much." Jian Wuxu waved his hand.

Jian Zi and Jian Shijiu*Luo Ren bowed slightly and immediately withdrew.

They went outside.

"Junior brother, he is not a disciple of our Five Peaks Sect. Among those of the same realm, he should be no match for you. But why did you provoke someone of a higher realm?" Jian Luoren asked softly.

"That guy is also at the Bone Forging Realm, but his swordsmanship is terrifyingly strong. I have never seen such amazing and terrifying swordsmanship. When I fought him, I could feel that there was a bit of my master's swordsmanship. And he, a guy who is even younger than me, is too terrifying."

As Jian Zi spoke, he still felt lingering fear.

If the other party really wanted to kill him, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

"So you're saying his swordsmanship is better than mine?" Sword Nineteen immediately became interested.

"Yes, very strong, especially that one strike. That guy has practiced it day after day for decades. When that strike came out, I didn't even have time to react. If he wanted to kill me, it would probably only take one strike." Jian Zi nodded.

"It's a pity I can't find him. Otherwise, I really wanted to have a sword fight with him." Jian Shijiu said with regret.

He then paused for a moment, having heard some rumors.

Some exceptional geniuses are either truly gifted or are clones of extraterrestrial beings. But if they are extraterrestrial beings, they may not necessarily be worse than their masters.

"Practicing the same sword technique day after day for decades must only be done by some genius, an extraterrestrial visitor. They wouldn't dare to be so high-profile." Jian Shijiu secretly shook his head, rejecting the idea of ​​an extraterrestrial visitor.

……

In three days, they traveled from the Sword Peak Sect to the city of Dongmu County and headed straight for the city lord's mansion.

City Lord Yan Dongmu greeted them with a smile. Beside Yan Dongmu, besides Tie Liu and Shi E, stood another figure dressed in a Taoist robe from the Ghost Peak Sect, smiling as he looked at Jian Zi and Jian Shijiu.

"Did they find some help?" Jian Shijiu frowned.

The Ghost Peak Sect possesses natural treasures and is skilled in creating talismans. Their methods are unpredictable, and he doesn't really want to provoke them.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be Jian Shijiu*Luo Ren, a disciple of Jian Wuxu of the Sword Peak Sect. I know what you've come here for, but as for Yan Dongmu, we, the Ghost Peak Sect, are protecting him now. You should go find the person who bullied your junior brother." The Ghost Peak Sect member said without any politeness.

"Yan Dongmu, do you know that Dongmu County is under the jurisdiction of my Sword Peak Sect? What you're doing violates the rules of my Five Peaks Sect." Jian Shijiu stared at Yan Dongmu.

"Within the territory of the Five Peaks Sect, there is no place under the jurisdiction of your Sword Peak Sect. This is all within the territory of the Five Peaks Sect. My Ghost Peak Sect is also a member of the Five Peaks Sect and has the right to govern as well." The Ghost Peak Sect disciple smiled.

Yan Dongmu remained fearless: "Young Master Jian Shijiu, a wise bird chooses a good tree to perch on, I believe you understand this principle. Your junior brother embezzled during the mining operation and even provoked others, so it's normal for him to suffer a little. Next time, it might be more than just suffering."

Jian Zi's expression was grim, and Jian Shijiu also frowned deeply as they looked at the Ghost Peak Sect disciple: "Since that's the case, then I can only report the truth to my Sword Peak Sect. I hope you can still protect him then."

"Hmph, let's go."

With a flick of his hand, Jian Shijiu left Jian Zi with a grim expression.

Yan Dongmu shook his head: "Sure enough, they're all bullies who prey on the weak."

"Don't worry, since you've given me such good news, I'll protect your Dongmu County. There's plenty of competition within my Five Peaks Sect, and this Sword Peak Sect isn't what it used to be; there's nothing to fear." The Ghost Peak Sect disciple shook his head. "Once I find that pair of people with the Sequence Bloodline..."

Thinking about it, he looked at the strand of hair in his hand, and the corners of his mouth curved down.

Using the Void Mirror of the Tianfeng Sect, as long as he's still within the Fengzhou region, his location can be easily pinpointed. However, even with a medium, which reduces the cost considerably, it's still significant, and he needs some time to prepare.
