Chapter 971: Public Enemy!

The Divine Ability Stele was personally established by the Clan Leader, my lord.

Within it lie hidden numerous powerful divine abilities and precious techniques.

However, to comprehend even one from it requires both talent and luck; neither can be lacking!

Although he had never yet attempted to comprehend it, he had heard many clansmen discuss this stele on the Cangwu Token.

Thus, his curiosity and anticipation regarding the Divine Ability Stele grew even stronger.

Now that he had finally managed to return home once, he naturally needed to attempt comprehension to see if he could gain anything.

Jiang Yan forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, took a step, and walked toward the location of the Divine Ability Stele.

The distance grew closer and closer.

Seeing that less than ten meters remained.

Jiang Yan suddenly let out a light "Eh?" and stopped in his tracks.

He slowly turned his head, his gaze sweeping over the crowd before landing on a black-clad back.

"This person..."

Jiang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly.

He was astonished to discover that someone he had casually encountered after coming outside could make him feel a sense of danger.

How was this possible?

Jiang Yan felt greatly surprised.

After all, he was now a completely different person from before.

Not only had he obtained the Imperial Flame Saint Body, but he had also cultivated the Imperial-grade top-tier technique, the "Crimson Sun Sutra," causing his combat power to surge manifold!

Looking at his peers, aside for monsters on the level of Brother Chen, who else could make him feel a sense of danger?

Filled with great doubt, Jiang Yan stepped forward.

Moving slightly closer.

Taking a look from the front.

What met his eyes was a black-haired youth with delicate features.

"Jiang Han..."

Jiang Yan's eyes flickered with light.

His thoughts drifted involuntarily back to over a year ago.

At that time, the Jiang family had not yet integrated the various branch lines, nor had they occupied Cangwu Mountain to style themselves as the Cangwu Jiang Family.

It was not until one day when the Clan Leader, my lord, suddenly issued an order for him to go to Quantong City to recall the branch family.

It was precisely during that occasion that he helped Jiang Han escape from trouble and brought him to Cangwu Mountain, leading to the series of events that followed.

And now, the reason he was able to recall the other so quickly.

Apart from that incident, it was also because both his master, Zhou Lao, and Brother Chen had sensed that this person was not simple.

Thus, he had paid special attention.

"However, in this span of over a year, why have I never heard any news about him?"

Clearly possessing extremely strong strength, yet remaining obscure in reputation; regarding this, Jiang Yan felt a deep sense of curiosity.

At the same time, Jiang Han sensed someone approaching, immediately ended his comprehension, and turned to look.

Their eyes met, gazes intertwining.

Jiang Han instantly froze on the spot, falling into a trance.

That familiar face stirred memories hidden in the deepest depths of his heart.

"Brother Yan..."

Jiang Han murmured.

He had never expected to actually meet the other here today.

Jiang Yan put away his surprise, walked to the other's side, and slowly sat down.

Then, with a wave of his large hand, he took out a jar of fine wine and two wine cups from the Cangwu Token.

He filled one cup to the brim and handed it over: "It's been over a year since we last met; you kid, your progress is quite significant..."

Jiang Han readily accepted the wine cup and smiled: "Where, where, it's just that my luck was a bit good, and I obtained some slight opportunities and fortunes; on the contrary, Brother Yan, your progress is frighteningly fast; compared to you, my achievements are completely not worth mentioning."
