Han Shishan's Storage Ring, Late but Here at Last
"I am the Zhao Household!"
[Zhao Qingsu's voice echoed in the main hall.]
[But the three Nascent Soul elders had no time to pay attention to his ramblings.]
Above the Zhao Estate, a massive Whirlpool of calamity clouds had gathered, its origin unknown.
[At the center of the Whirlpool, lightning flashed, countless silver snakes danced wildly, and a majestic divine might crashed down!]
[Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation!]
"Zhao Qingsu! You beast who deserves to die a horrible death!"
[The Jin Household Ancestor also completely lost his composure, and began to curse loudly.]
"You're dragging us down with you through this ordeal?! You want us to be your scapegoats?!"
[The Wang Family Ancestor stared intently at Zhao Qingsu, who was slowly rising into the air, his eyes filled with terror.]
[A madman! A complete and utter madman!]
[You hide in the shadows, thinking to yourself, "Wow!"]
[Forty years later, someone actually used the same methods you employed at Demon-Severing Cliff before you could.]
Under the calamity of heaven, all beings are equal.
[This blood array forms its own space; everyone within it will be considered a tribulation challenger by the Heavenly Tribulation.]
[You watch as the three Nascent Soul cultivators frantically attack the crimson light barrier, but to no avail.]
[And, there's also Sun Jingli, who's lying in wait outside the formation.]
You have only one thought in your mind.
[That's enough of the excitement.]
[Oh no, this round of information gathering is almost complete.]
[If we stay any longer, we might get caught in the aftershocks of some heavenly tribulation, which would be a huge loss.]
[You silently repeat it in your mind.]
[Early Leave.]
[Buzz.]
The bloody light, thunder, and the furious curses of the Nascent Soul elders vanished instantly, like a receding tide.
[You feel a sense of lightness throughout your body, as if you've just finished an incredibly stimulating Overtime, feeling refreshed and relaxed.]
[Then, you found yourself on a desolate mountain outside the city.]
[The night wind blew by, carrying with it a faint, lingering smell of burnt flesh and blood.]
[Your Divine Sense scans the Storage Ring.]
[Leaving Early Leave resulted in a deduction of 10,700 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.]
[Equivalent to two Random Teleportation Talisman!]
The amount deducted for Early Leave is really random.
[The lowest price I've ever paid was thirty, but this time it's over ten thousand.]
[You're a little reluctant to part with it.]
However, being able to escape unscathed from four Nascent Soul and a Heavenly Tribulation makes this "early departure penalty" seem insignificant.
[Look up towards Qingyang City, and you can still see the calamity clouds on the horizon.]
[You begin your journey towards Qingyang City.]
[A Crow flies overhead, bringing a scene to your mind.]
A disheveled figure, riding a dim Escape Light, frantically traversed the forest.
[The man's once magnificent elder's robe was now tattered, and his aura had plummeted to rock bottom.]
[It's Han Shishan.]
[A flicker of surprise crossed your mind. The Nascent Soul monster was incredibly resilient; he had actually escaped from such a deadly trap.]
[Options pop up.]
[A: Better safe than sorry. Follow him from a distance and see if he has any other tricks up his sleeve.]
[B: Take advantage of his illness and kill him directly.]
[C: Chase after him and enthusiastically ask if he needs "accidental injury insurance," certified by the Heavenly Certification Alliance, with fast claims processing and high coverage. The beneficiary must be the Greenwood Sect Master.]
Looking at Little A, Lu Ping surprisingly felt that Little A seemed more reliable.
However, he promised Little B that he would do it next time.
Moreover, the Nascent Soul monster has an endless stream of trump cards up his sleeve.
While I was waiting, the fish got away.
Lu Ping chose B.
[You chose B.]
[You immediately change direction and fly towards the location indicated by the Crow.]
[You moved swiftly through the forest, blocking the path of that dim, Escape Light.]
The Escape Light stopped, revealing Han Shishan's face, filled with horror and resentment.
[When he saw it was you, he was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned red, as if they were about to bleed.]
"You little beast!"
[Han Shishan's voice was hoarse.]
"Fine, very well! You have a path to heaven but choose not to take it, and you barge into hell when there's no way out!"
"Even if I am severely injured, killing a mere Golden Core cultivator like you is as easy as taking candy from a baby!"
Seeing his blustering yet cowardly demeanor, he politely bowed.
"Elder Han, I have missed you dearly since we parted ways at the Greenwood Sect."
Then you said those four words.
I’ll Make Three Points.
[I’ll Make Three Points, and they will take effect.]
[A fleeting look of confusion and bewilderment crossed Han Shishan's face, which had been contorted with rage.]
He was momentarily lost in thought.
[You raise your hand and wave.]
[The Thousand Mechanisms Falling Blossoms Instruction is activated.]
Dozens of Low-Grade Spirit Stones flashed by and landed on Han Shishan.
[I'm the Client, this agreement is effective.]
[Tenfold damage boost activated.]
A flash of silver light appeared in your Dantian.
[One hundred and eight flying blades transformed into a silver galaxy, appearing around you.]
[Star River Myriad Blades, Hundred-Blade Ring.]
[With a flick of your finger, two wisps of Pill Poison merged into the silver galaxy surrounding you.]
[The Spirit-Chaos Lure.]
[Spirit-Winding Thread.]
[The Thousand Mechanisms Falling Blossoms Instruction is activated again.]
[The Array Patterns between the 108 flying blades lit up simultaneously.]
[The next instant, the silver galaxy that had been slowly flowing around you vanished into thin air.]
[Having just recovered from the bewilderment of being told "I’ll Make Three Points," Han Shishan's eyes instantly turned from resentment to terror.]
A chilling sense of crisis descended upon him instantly!
He didn't even have time to react.
[The vanished silver galaxy had completely enveloped him.]
[Killing Formation composed of 108 flying blades, like a silver dragon with its head and tail intertwined, began a deadly spiraling slaughter!]
["No--!"]
[Han Shishan's last protective aura instantly collapsed and became disordered under the erosion of the "Spirit-Chaos Lure".]
[Immediately afterwards, Han Shishan's physical body was instantly shredded into dust and dissipated in the night wind.]
A tiny Nascent Soul, barely an inch tall, emerged from the blood mist with a horrified expression, screaming as it tried to tear through space to escape!
[But the moment it moved, countless invisible threads appeared on its body, binding it tightly.]
[Spirit-Winding Thread!]
[Despair was evident on the face of the Nascent Soul figure.]
A silvery galaxy swept across it.
[Han Shishan's Nascent Soul, along with everything it contained, was completely erased.]
[The starlight swirls, the light fades, and it transforms back into an ordinary silver-gray bracelet, returning to your Dantian.]
A Storage Ring fell to the ground with a thud.
[Almost simultaneously, a piercing, excruciating pain suddenly exploded in your Sea of Consciousness.]
[You suddenly felt dizzy and almost collapsed to the ground.]
You gasped, then rubbed your throbbing temples vigorously.
This magical Law Treasure is truly powerful.
[However, the consumption of Divine Sense is also ridiculously high.]
[In that brief burst of power, you almost completely drained your Divine Sense, which was comparable to that of Nascent Soul cultivator.]
[You feel like you've been working overtime for three days and three nights straight.]
[If it weren't for the "Spirit Refining Technique" providing a foundation, that attack just now would probably have taken you down along with Han Shishan.]
[Compared to ordinary Law Treasure, one Hundred-Blade Ring is equivalent to one hundred and eight other rings.]
[The significant depletion of Divine Sense is understandable.]
[It's gratifying that Han Shishan's Storage Ring, though late, finally arrived.]
[You reach out and take Han Shishan's Storage Ring.]
[The legacy of the Nascent Soul Old Monster, plus one.]
[Your Divine Sense scans the Storage Ring.]
[Han Shishan's legacy is roughly the same size as that of the Household Ancestor Zhao.]
[Unfortunately, there are no Law Treasures, nor any impressive Cultivation Method.]
[Options pop up.]
[A: Destroy the body and return to Qingyang City.]
[B: You're already this strong, why don't you just storm into the Azure Dragon Upper Domain?]
[C: Erect a tombstone on the spot, inscribed "Tomb of Outstanding Employee Han Shishan". Then, send a bill to the Azure Cloud Sect for funeral expenses: 320,000.]
