Chapter Thirty-Four: Rock Mirror

  "A ruthless and decisive move." The dead prisoners watching from the sidelines looked at Yi Chen with shocked gazes, their eyes devoid of mockery, replaced by apprehension.

  "Strength is indeed a good thing." Feeling the gaze of many different eyes, Yi Chen's mouth slightly hooked, and he walked to the old man's side.

  "Saving me won't do you any good. The person you just killed has several companions, and they will definitely not let you off." The old man said, looking up at Yi Chen.

  "One comes and one goes, it's just a matter of tidying up, nothing more." Yi Chen said, not taking it to heart.

  "Speak up, why did you save me? Is it to mock this old man who can't even truss a chicken?" The old man said with a self-deprecating smile.

  "I'm just curious, how did the former Rock Mirror Master fall to this state." Yi Chen was silent for a moment before saying a name that once made the entire Mysterious Mirror Realm of the Yuan Xuan Empire tremble.

  If Yicheng wasn't mistaken, this old man was the only six-star magic appraiser in the Yuanxuan Empire, with a cultivation base of Xuanhun Realm, and he was also the president of the Magic Appraisers Association.

  Yi Jia had dealings with Yan Jian in the past and was not unfamiliar with him. He had met Yan Jian several times before.

  At this point, Yan Jian's face turned ugly, and a flash of anger passed through his eyes, but he didn't respond to Yi Chen, turning around and leaving.

  "It's really strange, did something happen within the Magic Mirror Association?" Without going forward to chase, Yi Chen's face showed a puzzled expression.

  None of this had anything to do with Yi Chen, and he didn't think much of it. He took a deep look at the desolate back of Yan Jian Luo, and his eyes flashed with a strange color before turning around and leaving.

  This is a world where the strong are respected, and Yi Chen strolled around the dead camp for a while before coming to a remote place, directly using force to rob a house, temporarily as a foothold.

  "A place filled with blood and chaos, how exciting." A cold smile played on his lips as Yi Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, cultivating, as if waiting for something.

  "Psst." About two hours later, there was a sudden noise of footsteps outside the door, and an old man with a stoop walked in.

  Sensing the movement, Yi Chen directly cut off his cultivation technique and jumped down from the bed, smiling blandly: "Master Yan Jian has come to visit, is there something going on?"

  "You're from the Yi family, right? And you look very familiar, we must have met somewhere before." Yan Jian stared at Yi Chen with a dull gaze.

  "Yi Qing is my grandfather, if I'm not mistaken, we met at the Yi's house a few years ago." Yi Chen said without hiding anything.

  At that time, the Mojian Master Association and the Yi family were extremely close, and occasionally, Yan Jian would also go to the Yi family to discuss some matters, so Yi Chen had seen him a few times.

  "It was you, if I'm not mistaken. Back then, I even wanted to take you as my apprentice, but you bluntly refused." Yan Jian seemed to have thought of something and shook his head.

  "In those years, Yi Chen was young and ignorant, I hope Master will forgive me."

  At the age of thirteen, Yi Chen did have thoughts of taking Yan Jian as his apprentice, but at that time Yi Chen was not familiar with Long Yuan Continent, so he didn't agree.

  "From now on, don't call me Master again. Those were just past clouds and smoke." Yan Jian's face showed a hint of melancholy as he said this.

  "Could there be a problem within the Magician Association?" Yi Chen asked.

  "It's all because I was blind, raising a white-eyed wolf." Yan Jian gritted his teeth and said this sentence, then looked deeply at Yi Chen, saying: "Little guy, how about we make a deal?"

  It's not hard to judge from Iwao's words that the Magician Association has indeed undergone a change, but he didn't think much of it and looked at Iwao with suspicion, saying: "A deal?"

  "Alright, as long as you help me with one thing, I can teach you how to practice the magic mirror." Yan Jian's eyes flashed with hatred as he said.

  Yan Jian's words made Yi Chen slightly stunned, he didn't expect Yan Jian to propose such a condition. However, Yan Jian was originally a six-star magic mirror master, if he could get his guidance, it would be of great help to Yi Chen.

  "I don't like being used as a gun, so tell me what your conditions are." Yi Chen asked calmly.

  "Help me kill the current president of the Magician's Association." Iwao said with a gloomy face.

  His eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a look of difficulty appeared on Yi Chen's face. The Demon Mirror Master Association was a third-party force that did not participate in the struggles between the various major families. However, its strength was extremely powerful, and even the Yi family did not dare to offend it easily.

  "Offending the Mo Jian Shi Association would bring no benefits to our family." After a moment of contemplation, Yi Chen directly shook his head in refusal.

  "I've created several sets of divination charts myself, but unfortunately, I have no one to pass them down to. Never mind, you can put that request aside for now, but if you want to practice divination, I can teach you."

  He took a deep look at Yi Chen, Yan Jian furrowed his brow, then quietly sighed and said.

  "Thank you, Master Yan Jian." Yi Chen was slightly stunned for a moment before reacting and saying this sentence.

  "It's just a few maps, don't mind it." Yan Jian reached into his pocket and pulled out a somewhat tattered map paper, handing it to Yi Chen, saying: "This is a set of four-star and below maps, you take it to practice with."

  Upon hearing this, Yi Chen stretched out his hand to accept the tattered blueprint and found that there were four somewhat blurry diagrams on it. After examining them, he discovered that the highest was a four-star diagram, while the lowest was a one-star diagram.

  "I didn't expect Yi Jia to send you here for training. With your Xing Hun Realm cultivation, it's likely that you'll be in danger of losing your life here."

  "If I'm not mistaken, the Dragon King Competition is about to begin. You must be here to participate in it, right?" Yan Jian said softly.

  "This is the only way to unlock my potential." Yi Chen shrugged and didn't answer directly, putting the map into his storage ring.

  "I have a set of four superior soul techniques here, I don't know if you need them?" Yan Jian took out a book from his bosom and handed it to Yi Chen.

  "Thank you, Master Yan Jian." Yi Chen's heart was filled with joy, as he was currently lacking in soul techniques. Without hesitation, he took it and said, "Master Yan Jian has entrusted me with a task, I will definitely do my best to accomplish it."

  He didn't like owing people favors, so if he was capable enough, he wouldn't mind helping Yan Jian solve the problem of the Magician Association's president.

  "Let's talk about those things later, you'd better deal with the trouble at hand." Yanyan shook his head and turned to look outside the door of the house.

  "Hiss." At this time, four tall figures appeared in front of the door, their faces cold and sinister, with a strong murderous aura.

  "In these times, there's a shortage of everything, but one thing that's never in short supply is people who are eager to send themselves to their deaths." Seeing the four men, Yi Chen's mouth curled up into a cruel smile.
