Supreme Martial Arts: Unlock Boundless Power!

Chapter 157

In each elegant room on the second floor, there was a distinction between the front and back halls. As Xu Shan pushed open the door and entered, half of the heavy burden that had been hanging over their hearts finally lifted. It turned out that Zhou Yi and the others didn't directly enter the inner room but silently admired the paintings and calligraphy hanging on the wall in the outer room.

The moment Zhou Yi stepped into the room, his eyes immediately fell upon a particular painting on the wall. It was a landscape painting, exquisitely lifelike and captivating. However, it was evident that this was not the work of a renowned artist, as the painting lacked any signatures or seals.

If it weren't for the fact that the painting was indeed a remarkable piece, it wouldn't have been displayed in this location. 

But in Zhou Yi's eyes, this painting was more than just a decorative artwork; it was a depiction of profound cosmic principles and universal truths. He was certain that only a master of innate talent, one who had attained considerable enlightenment beyond the realm of clouds and rain, could have created such a masterpiece.

Although this painting might not have much immediate practical value to Zhou Yi, if he were to contemplate it for an extended period, grasping the profound cosmic principles it contained and allowing them to resonate with his own insights, it should offer some assistance.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, acknowledging his fortunate luck. If it weren't for that Ziruiguang insulting Yuan Lixun, he wouldn't have come up here and certainly wouldn't have laid eyes on this landscape painting.

This landscape painting, unless it fell into the hands of a master who comprehended the mysteries of the clouds and rain, would remain an enigma even if it hung here for a hundred years. Not even Cheng Fu or Shui Xuanjin would be able to fully grasp its profundity.

Faint footsteps sounded behind him, and as Zhou Yi turned around, a mischievous smile naturally graced his face. Xu Shan could only smile wryly, deeply bowing to Zhou Yi. Observing the pained expression on his face, Zhou Yi contemplated for a moment before pointing to the landscape painting on the wall, making his intention abundantly clear.

Xu Shan let out a long sigh, nodding his head like a pecking chick. As long as he could convince this inscrutable star of calamity to let go of his grievances, he would be willing to pay any price, no matter how great.

After all, he conducted business within the Tianluo Kingdom, and offending the five major clans would undoubtedly lead to unfavorable consequences. Even with the profound background of Feng Laixiang, he didn't wish to casually provoke the local powerhouses.

Of course, after witnessing Zhou Yi's skills, he also held a deep sense of fear within him. To achieve such prowess at such a young age, who knew what formidable support lay behind him?

As long as these two individuals didn't cause trouble within his Feng Laixiang, he would be grateful to the heavens.

Zhou Yi smiled faintly and nodded toward Yuan Lixun. Though the young girl's age was similar to Zhou Yi's, she possessed sharp wit and immediately understood his intention. While she felt relieved that he was no longer entangled in the matter concerning Ziruiguang, a hint of disappointment lingered in her heart.

However, as she stepped forward, preparing to remove the painting, a familiar voice, filled with familiarity, reached her ears, saying, "Lixun, leave this place, and I will settle the score for you."

Yuan Lixun was momentarily stunned, her heart suddenly filled with sweetness, and a dense feeling of happiness surged within her. It seemed as if even her movements became lighter and swifter.
