Wu Shattered Star River

It was already midnight, but Yunmeng City was still bustling with activity.

Just as darkness fell, Ling Yunmeng returned from the Seven Fiends Manor. Upon her return, she immediately convened a high-level meeting of the Yunmeng Pavilion.

Ling Yunmeng's expression was grim. She had rushed to the Seven Fiends Manor from Dark City, only to find that the Fourth Manor Lord of the Yunmeng Pavilion's backer, the Seven Fiends Manor, was absent.

The Fourth Manor Lord had left the Seven Saints Mountain five days ago, heading to Yunzhou City.

Ling Yunmeng urgently requested to see the Grand Manor Lord, but was informed that the Grand Manor Lord was in seclusion and would not see anyone.

Ling Yunmeng didn't see any of the Manor Lords, only the Hall Master of the Seven Fiends Manor's External Affairs Hall, Cui Hao.

Cui Hao, upon learning of Ling Yunmeng's intentions, spoke very politely, stating that he would immediately report the matter and that the Seven Fiends Manor would attach great importance to it.

He told Ling Yunmeng to be patient and not to take any action. Once the higher-ups made a decision, he would immediately send an envoy to inform the Yunmeng Pavilion.

Hearing this, Ling Yunmeng's heart sank.

This was a blatant brush-off.

Everyone in the Seven Fiends Manor knew that the Yunmeng Pavilion was a force under the command of the Fourth Manor Lord. However, the backer of the Skywolf Hall was the Second Manor Lord of the Seven Fiends Manor, as a young daughter of the Golden Wolf King had married the Second Manor Lord as a concubine.

Cui Hao didn't immediately contact the Fourth Manor Lord, nor did he report to the Grand Manor Lord, but instead said he would wait for the higher-ups to make a decision?

When would that decision be made? Half a month, or a month? By the time the Seven Fiends Manor's higher-ups made a decision, Zuo Yiyi and Qi Bing's corpses would probably be cold.

This Cui Hao was clearly biased towards the Second Manor Lord's faction, and his words were completely perfunctory. Ling Yunmeng even doubted whether the Grand Manor Lord was actually in seclusion.

Was the Fourth Manor Lord deliberately arranged to go to Yunzhou City?

Ling Yunmeng sensed a hint of conspiracy. Everything was too coincidental, so coincidental that it chilled her to the bone.

Upon returning to the Yunmeng Pavilion, Ling Yunmeng convened a meeting to ask the elders for their opinions.

The day agreed upon by the two Wolf Kings had already passed, and Bloodmoon Peak was north of Dragonfall City, requiring time to travel there from Yunmeng City.

Therefore, a decision had to be made tonight!

The Grand Elder didn't speak, as the matter concerned Qi Bing, and anything he said would be inappropriate.

The Third Elder, Xiong Yu, directly stated his stance to go to war, meaning he would lead the Yunmeng Pavilion's elite forces directly to Skywolf City, not hesitating to fight to the death.

The Fourth Elder echoed the Third Elder's opinion, believing that Ling Yunmeng and the Grand Elder shouldn't go to Bloodmoon Peak, as the Skywolf Hall's Wolf Kings would definitely be there, waiting for them to offer themselves up to die.

Since the agreement was at Bloodmoon Peak, the Skywolf Hall would definitely set up an inescapable net there, and the Skywolf Hall's experts would all rush there.

Therefore, Skywolf City would be very empty. The Fourth Elder's idea was the same as the Third Elder's: lead the elite forces to attack Skywolf City, capture the Wolf King's family members, and then exchange hostages.

The Second Elder and Fifth Elder didn't come, as their grandsons had both had problems and were suspected of colluding with the Skywolf Hall.

To avoid suspicion, they chose to wait for news at home, sending word that they would resolutely obey Ling Yunmeng and Han Jinmao's commands.

The Grand Elder looked at Han Jinmao, who was the strongest combat force in the pavilion, and many hall masters and stewards listened to him.

If he didn't agree to fight, then Ling Yunmeng might not be able to mobilize all the experts to fight.

"I agree to fight. I think it's better to attack Skywolf City directly, as it's easy to fall into a trap at Bloodmoon Peak. First attack Skywolf City and occupy it. At that time, the Wolf Kings will be wary, and whether we fight or negotiate, it will be to our advantage."

Han Jinmao's words surprised Ling Yunmeng and the Grand Elder. Han Jinmao stood up and continued, "If we attack Skywolf City, the matter will be blown up, and the Seven Fiends Manor can't possibly sit idly by."

"This matter is about the Skywolf Hall's two Wolf Kings intercepting and killing juniors. They are unreasonable first. Once the matter spreads, whether it's the Seven Fiends Manor or the nearby forces, they will openly support us."

"Good!"

Ling Yunmeng slammed the table heavily and shouted loudly, "Then it's settled. Immediately mobilize all warriors above the Profound Nether Realm and set off at midnight."

"On this trip to Skywolf City, everyone should pay attention to secrecy. Apart from those present, no one should be allowed to know the action plan. The Second Elder, Fifth Elder, and Sixth Elder should not be informed for the time being. Wait until we are close to Skywolf City before informing everyone."

Everyone nodded. Ling Yunmeng's decision was correct. The key to this trip was secrecy. If the news leaked and the Skywolf Hall learned of it, they could calmly make arrangements, and then they would be walking into a trap.

As Ling Yunmeng spoke, her gaze turned to Han Jinmao. The Grand Elder, Third Elder, and Fourth Elder would naturally not leak secrets. Ling Yunmeng was worried that Han Jinmao would inform the Second Elder and Fifth Elder.

Han Jinmao nodded and said in a deep voice, "Pavilion Master, rest assured, I know what's important. If the Yunmeng Pavilion is destroyed, how can my Han family survive alone?"

Ling Yunmeng and the Grand Elder exchanged glances, and both felt slightly relieved. Han Jinmao had two sons, and several grandsons and granddaughters, all of whom were young. If the Yunmeng Pavilion was destroyed, his descendants would all be finished.

After Ling Yunmeng made the decision, she summoned all those in the Profound Nether Realm. A day ago, before Ling Yunmeng left, the Grand Elder had ordered preparations for war, and the high-level members of the various families under her command had almost all stayed, making it easy to gather them.

One by one, Profound Nether Realm warriors quickly gathered in the North City. The Yunmeng Pavilion itself had seventy or eighty Profound Nether Realm warriors, more than twenty of whom had died in the Dragonfall Mountain battle, leaving more than fifty.

The family heads and elders under her command currently had nearly three hundred Profound Nether Realm warriors in the city, bringing the total number of Profound Nether Realm warriors to more than three hundred and forty.

As for Mountain Sea Realm experts, the Yunmeng Pavilion had six elders, plus Ling Yunmeng, Han Jinmao, and Granny Liu, for a total of nine Mountain Sea Realm experts.

Everyone set off!

Ling Yunmeng only left two old Profound Nether Realm warriors to guard the city, and all the other Mountain Sea Realm and Profound Nether Realm warriors were mobilized.

In addition, the direct descendants of the various elders were sent into the Dark City to avoid being attacked by the Skywolf Hall.

In the early hours of the morning, more than three hundred dragon-lion horses rushed down Yunmeng Mountain in a mighty manner, heading straight for Dragonfall City.

They needed to reach Dragonfall City first, as Bloodmoon Peak was north of Dragonfall City, which would create the illusion that they were going to Bloodmoon Peak.

They had to go to Skywolf City, and they had to pass through Dragonfall City, but Bloodmoon Peak was northwest of Dragonfall City, while Skywolf City was northeast of Dragonfall City.

The Yunmeng Pavilion's experts had all left their nests, and countless people in Yunmeng City couldn't sleep tonight. Many wealthy merchants had just returned, but after Ling Yunmeng and the others left, many people took their families and left again.

There was no other way. There were no experts stationed in Yunmeng City now. If a Skywolf Hall Mountain Sea Realm expert came with a dozen or so Profound Nether Realm warriors, they could easily massacre Yunmeng City.

Even if the Skywolf Hall's experts didn't come, if experts from other forces took advantage of the fire to rob, Yunmeng City would easily change hands.

It was too dangerous!

Many people decided to evacuate and wait and see, and then come back after the war was completely over.

… …

When the sun was high in the sky, a black-clad youth was running wildly up Yunmeng Mountain.

He was Jiang Han, who had rushed back overnight. He didn't dare to ride the Suanni beast directly up Yunmeng Mountain, but instead asked the Suanni beast to wait for him in the nearby mountains, and he ran towards Yunmeng Mountain alone.

At the foot of the mountain, he didn't see the disciples guarding the mountain. His heart sank, and he felt that something big had happened. When he went up to Yunmeng City, he found that the city was in a mess.

"That's Jiang Han?"

Someone recognized Jiang Han. Jiang Han ignored them and went straight to the North City.

Outside the North City, he finally saw the Yunmeng Pavilion disciples guarding the gate, and he felt a little relieved.

"Jiang Han? Hmm… Greetings, Vice Hall Master Jiang!"

The disciple recognized Jiang Han, was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, and quickly saluted.

Ling Yunmeng had promoted Jiang Han to Vice Hall Master of the Battle Hall, and the matter had already spread throughout the Yunmeng Pavilion.

Jiang Han waved his hand and asked, "Is the Pavilion Master here?"

"No!"

The disciple reported, "In the middle of the night, the Pavilion Master took all the elders and Profound Nether Realm warriors in the pavilion to Dragonfall City, supposedly to rescue the Young Pavilion Master and Miss Qi Bing at Bloodmoon Peak."

"Uh…"

Jiang Han was stunned, and quickly asked carefully. After learning about the situation, he frowned.

Zuo Yiyi, Qi Bing, and Niu Meng were indeed captured, and Jiang Lang's whereabouts were unknown, and his life and death were uncertain.

Ling Yunmeng and the others had gone to Dragonfall City, and he would definitely go to help.

He was considering whether to bring Jiang Li? The experts in the city had all left their nests, and Yunmeng City was very unsafe.

But this time he was going to help, and there would definitely be a bloody battle. It would be more dangerous for Jiang Li to follow him.

"That's right, go to Dark City!"

Jiang Han thought of an idea. It was extremely safe in Dark City. As long as Jiang Li lived in Dark City for ten days and a half months, he could bring Jiang Li back when he returned.

"Let's go!"

Jiang Han quickly entered the North City and went straight to Immortal Ascension Peak.
