With a blurred swing, a brilliant blade of light slashed through, instantly severing the head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing no anomaly in the corpse, Wang Yu finally relaxed; his green-red knife vanished in a flash, and with a single hand gesture, three willow-leaf daggers sprang from the corpse, spiraled once, and flew back into his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward, rummaged through the black-robed youth’s body, found a gray-white storage bag, then nodded in satisfaction, formed a hand seal, and launched a fireball that reduced the corpse to ashes before soaring back into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Happy Palace matron departed, the once-churning sea of pink mist began rapidly dissipating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Junzi emerged from the thinning mist, clad in white robes faintly stained with blood, his face pale, no other visible injuries—only his massive octopus spirit beast was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tian Senior Brother, are you alright?” Wang Yu scanned him with his spiritual sense, noting his blood qi was weak, but his spiritual energy remained stable; he stepped forward to greet him, while secretly wondering how Tian Junzi had defeated the Happy Palace matron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m fine—just expended a lot of blood qi using my secret technique. Wang Junior Brother, if not for your help, this mission might have ended in my death. Too bad my technique’s duration was too short; I couldn’t land a killing blow on that demoness. Otherwise, this battle would have been a complete victory.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, the demonic sects sent four top disciples against us—this debt, Tian has recorded.” Tian Junzi exhaled, but his voice turned bitter as he spoke the last line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Senior Brother can defeat that demoness once, next time you meet, it will be her death day. And since we’ve repelled the demonic sects, the Spirit Herb Garden is ours. Still, it’s a pity about Sister Yue from the Thousand Bamboo Sect.” Wang Yu offered a few words of comfort, then mentioned the fallen Yue Lengshan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yue Dao's death is regrettable, but the Jialan Secret Realm is a trial of life and death—she should have been prepared before entering. If her skills were inferior, there's nothing to be done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At most, when we open the Spirit Herb Garden, we’ll allocate an extra share to the Thousand Bamboo Sect as compensation.” Tian Junzi sighed upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu, of course, had no objection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wang Junior Brother’s strength far exceeds everyone’s expectations—you single-handedly slew two demonic top disciples. With this merit alone, you’ll rank among the top on this Jialan Trial’s merit list. You led the charge in securing the Spirit Herb Garden and deserve the largest share—no one will dare object.” Tian Junzi suddenly remembered something, studied Wang Yu again with deep meaning in his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Brother flatters me. I merely got lucky—my artifacts and techniques happened to counter those two demonic scoundrels perfectly. How could my true strength compare to Senior Brother’s?” Wang Yu replied with polite humility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Junzi could only smile helplessly—he didn’t believe a word of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t press further; instead, he ordered the disciples to clean the battlefield, sent out messages summoning others to return, then led the excited group straight toward the Spirit Herb Garden’s location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu rode his black iron boat, flying near the center of the formation. Aside from Wan Shan, the other disciples dared not approach closely, instead staring at him from afar with strange, awed glances at the “ferocious man” who had slain two demonic top disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Shan, who had always been talkative, now flew beside Wang Yu, constantly glancing at him as if the familiar “Wang Junior Brother” had suddenly bloomed flowers on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wan Senior Brother, others can stare all they want—but you too? Isn’t that going too far?” Wang Yu said coolly to Wan Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wang Junior Brother, we’ve known each other for years, but I never imagined you could hide your strength so thoroughly. With this power, you’re surely the top Qi Condensation disciple in our sect.” Wan Shan spoke with an odd expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Top Qi Condensation disciple? Others saying that is one thing—but for you, Wan Senior Brother, to believe it? That’s inappropriate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When did I even reach Qi Condensation late stage? You know better than anyone. Do you really think my cultivation is stronger than Tian Senior Brother’s Qi Condensation peak?” Wang Yu glanced at Wan Shan and smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… but you did kill two demonic top disciples—that’s true, isn’t it?” Wan Shan paused, uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can only tell you this: even among demonic top disciples, strength varies greatly. The two I killed were precisely the weakest among them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t you see how the first one dared not challenge Tian Senior Brother or Sister Yue, yet chose to ambush me, a mere inner sect disciple? He knew his own limits.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for the other demonic disciple—he only used the Black Soul Sect’s overused Yin Soul Banner and White Bone Demon Technique. What was hard about that?” Wang Yu dumped out a flood of reasons, regardless of whether Wan Shan believed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That… does sound plausible, but isn’t it a bit forced…” Wan Shan initially looked confused, but as he studied Wang Yu’s serious face, his mind clicked—he suddenly understood Wang Yu’s meaning, and couldn’t help but grimace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wan Senior Brother is famed in our sect as the man who knows everything, and your word carries impeccable credibility. Whatever you say, our sect disciples will believe.” Wang Yu said with a half-smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Shan was left speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>",1110,"2026-06-20T15:44:30.991Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a2a358e7c8bd581973c4ee7faa8857d8778a48134dcba3ccc6823d058c0f733b","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-193","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-191",530,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-immortal-path-among-the-stars-cover.jpg"]
