Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 87 Alone
Fang Yuan hurriedly turned his head to look, while preparing to make a move!

Then I saw a long-haired woman carrying a large bag walk in from the door of the secret room.

Upon seeing him, the woman raised her hands, smiled, and said:
"I'm not one of those people who cause chaos! I'm just an unorganized martial artist who happened to be passing by and followed you in. I won't fight you for what you need. Take what you need, and I'll just pick up what you don't want, okay?"

This woman is 1.75 meters tall, with an exaggeratedly prominent figure.

For example, Zhao Youyue's protrusion is placed on her unruly height, making the proportions seem out of place.

She looked slightly older than Fang Yuan, with an oval face and beautiful features. Her bright eyes seemed harmless, but Fang Yuan dared not relax at all.

Fang Yuan faced her, packing the things he had planned to pack, while asking himself:

"The Heavenly Warriors have no organization?"

"I awakened on Tianlan Star. I didn't want to come to Tianwu Realm and had been hiding. Later, due to some reasons, I didn't control my power and caused a very serious incident. I was at a loss and afraid of being captured by the Tianwu Group, and even more afraid of implicating my family, so I ran in."

The woman seemed very sincere; she glossed over things she didn't want to talk about and didn't feign pitifulness in her narration.

"When I came in, I encountered people robbing supplies. They didn't beat me, and it was through them that I learned about Dream Continent."

"It's been more than two months. I originally heard that the three major organizations were enemies of the Tianwu Group and wanted to join them. Fantian was close by, but after learning about the situation, I couldn't accept Fantian's style."

"The original plan was to travel through the central region and visit the west, but we just happened to pass through here."

After the woman finished speaking, seeing that Fang Yuan had almost finished packing, she asked in surprise, "Gold, watch, you don't want any of that?"

"What's the use? Even if he joins the Heavenly Martial Corps and redeems himself by performing meritorious service, can he return to Blue Star? Does a Heavenly Martial Warrior even care about these things?"

Fang Yuan's question startled the woman, who then asked him in surprise:

"You plan to join the Heavenly Martial Corps to atone for your sins? You also made a mistake on Azure Star?"

"It's not important." Fang Yuan wasn't sure if the woman was telling the truth.

"Aren't you afraid of going against the heavens?"

"You dare to come and get things too?" Fang Yuan finished packing and gestured for her to come in.

The woman walked straight in, while Fang Yuan dodged and backed away.

After leaving, Fang Yuan stood quietly by the door of the secret room.

He heard sounds of rummaging through drawers and cabinets, the rustling of jewelry being wrapped up, and the slurping of snack bags being torn open.

Fang Yuan deliberately didn't take those bags of snacks, pretending not to see them.

'He doesn't seem like someone who would cause upheaval.' Fang Yuan remained silent, continuing to wait patiently.

After a while, there was movement inside the door.

The woman had several large bags hanging from her arms, probably having emptied the secret room almost completely, so she could only walk out of the door sideways.

Even so, you still have to squeeze in, and only by piling up the bags can you get a discount.

The woman had just stepped out when she was startled to find Fang Yuan standing beside her. Relieved, she said:
"You startled me. Is there something else you need?"

Fang Yuan didn't answer. He reached out and pulled the bag off her other arm before going into the Second Elder's treasure room and looking around.

There was no food left, including dried meat.

All the weapons made by the minions of the mutated beasts are still there.

Jewelry, gold bars, gemstones, watches—all gone.

'If what she said is basically credible, she's worth recruiting.' Fang Yuan then believed about 80% of the woman's story.

These choices match the description in the woman's self-introduction.

Those who don't know much might think that the weapons made by the mutated beast's minions are not as good as the ones they brought from Azure Star.

Only by not revealing their strength and following the crowd, and by not robbing others, can they develop a particular craving for food.

She wasn't feigning innocence; she clearly retained a relatively intact naiveté and kindness from the planet Tianlan. "What else do you need? You can take a look at mine."

The woman was very generous and took the initiative to share.

"You've said so much just now, are you trying to find out about my background before considering whether to travel together?"

Fang Yuan emerged from the secret room and went straight to the point.

"Hmm, I think it's brave of you to dare to go against Fantian. You must be someone who hates Fantian's style, right? You also want to join the Tianwu Group to redeem yourself, so you must be a good person. Besides, you are also a Tianwu warrior. I've always wanted to find a companion like you."

The woman readily admitted it.

"My name is Fang Yuan, and I have three companions. Find a place to wait, and no matter what the outcome, we will meet again."

"Let's do it here! I'll wait here!"

The woman put down her backpack, took a chair from the secret room, sat down, and smiled at Fang Yuan.

"I'll do it as soon as possible." Fang Yuan didn't say anything more and left.

Although he felt he could recruit them, the final outcome depended on Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue.

At this moment, Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue, through the information they sensed in the dense fog, discovered the woman who had been in contact with Fang Yuan.

The form of its celestial martial energy prompted Zhao Youyue to give a commendation:

"The woman Fang Yuan met had a great figure..."

But what was said remains unknown.

With no further issues arising within the dense fog area, Fang Yuan returned to the Second Elder City to complete the search.

The two controlled the dense fog, guiding Fang Yuan and Ren Xing to jump into the river.

Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue then deactivated the Mist Spirit King's transformation.

The dense fog, stretching over thirty kilometers, instantly contracted and receded, all flowing into the light body of the Mist Spirit King.

The light body expands rapidly.

However, once the dense fog was completely absorbed, the light dispersed and surged into the dark-colored light beads on Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue's foreheads as celestial martial power.

The light orb quickly filled with Heavenly Martial Power. The portion that couldn't be contained dispersed, while the rest flowed into the two people's bodies and then surged into the Heavenly Martial Heart.

Of the scattered Heavenly Martial Power, a portion was absorbed by Fang Yuan and Ren Xing.

The two of them suddenly returned to normal from their Mist Spirit King form.

Fang Yuan and Ren Xing were both amazed by the magic of the soul summoning.

"How was the harvest?" Lin Xiufeng estimated it was quite good.

Fang Yuan told him the truth:
"The Heavenly Martial Power of the Onion Deaf Beast is not strong. Killing five of them increases the level by one, and each of us increases the level by three."

"The Second Elder has a lot of Heavenly Martial Power, and he absorbed twelve layers by himself. The two unknown Heavenly Martial Warriors don't have much Heavenly Martial Power, and they only increased by six layers in total."

"When the Mist Spirit King's soul left, I absorbed ten layers. The Heavenly Martial Heart has now accumulated thirty-two layers."

Renxing declared, "Same here. It's more cost-effective to keep Conglong around; killing him doesn't yield many results. The Heavenly Martial Power accumulated by Heavenly Martial Masters like the Second Elder is still much higher!"

"Absolutely. If you use the Heavenly Martial Heart's Heavenly Martial Power to evolve your body in advance, you'll still need to evolve again after breaking through the Star Cave. It's definitely more worthwhile to accumulate it and wait until you break through the Star Cave before attempting to break through. Who knows what might happen later if you store it up too much at once?"

Lin Xiufeng pondered that all the Heavenly Warriors were trapped in this predicament, and there were many like them who were merely residing there. If they were defeated by a powerful enemy, the other party would have a great time!
Fang Yuan didn't ask about Lin Xiufeng's gains, but asked, out of impulsiveness and curiosity:

"Did the Heavenly Martial Power absorbed by the Mist Spirit King go to you?"

"You're overthinking it. The Mist Spirit King's soul couldn't be fully absorbed; most of it dissipated, which is why you were brought here to gather. We absorbed a bit more than you, twelve layers."
