Wu Shattered Star River

#117 - Chapter 117: Life is worse than death

There were guards at the foot of Mount Ascendancy. In the past, Jiang Han wasn't qualified to go up without orders.

Now that Jiang Han's status was different, and with no elders present on Mount Ascendancy, the guards didn't dare stop him when he said he was going to find his sister, Jiang Li, and let him pass.

Jiang Han went straight to the Cloud Dream Palace. Two maids were waiting outside the palace, both with panicked expressions.

If a powerful force attacked the Cloud Dream Pavilion, they would eventually come here, and their fate would be very miserable.

Jiang Han had been here before, and the maids recognized him. When they heard he was looking for Jiang Li, they quickly led Jiang Han inside.

In a courtyard, Jiang Han saw Jiang Li, who was sweeping the yard. When she saw Jiang Han, she threw down the broom and ran over.

"Brother!"

Jiang Li had been worried sick these past few days. Seeing Jiang Han safe and sound, she was both surprised and happy, and tears streamed down her face.

"Alright, Jiang Li, come with me for a bit."

Jiang Han didn't have time to comfort Jiang Li. He took her hand and walked out.

Time was pressing. Ling Yunmeng and the others had already left for four or five hours. He needed to catch up with the main group, so he didn't have time to say much to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li was very obedient and followed Jiang Han outside. Seeing Jiang Han taking Jiang Li away, the two maids became even more uneasy, thinking that Jiang Han had learned some news and that a major change was about to happen in the Cloud Dream Pavilion.

Jiang Han didn't have time to pay attention to them. He led Jiang Li outside, and while walking, he instructed, "Jiang Li, something happened to your Sister Yiyi and Sister Bing, and I need to go help. But now there aren't many strong people in the pavilion, so I'm worried about you. I want you to go to Dark City for half a month. Do you know about Dark City?"

Jiang Li nodded and said, "I've heard them mention it."

"That's good!"

Jiang Han breathed a sigh of relief, not needing to explain too much to Jiang Li. He said, "It's absolutely safe in Dark City. Stay in the inn for half a month, and when everything is completely over, I'll come back and pick you up, okay?"

"Okay!"

Jiang Li nodded obediently. As long as Jiang Han was okay, she was relieved.

She knew what Jiang Han meant by sending her to Dark City and didn't resist too much, but she was a little uneasy about going to Dark City for the first time.

Jiang Han took Jiang Li to the South City. The teleportation array here was constantly flashing, and many people in the city were preparing to teleport to Dark City to avoid the trouble for a while.

"Greetings, Vice Hall Master Jiang!"

The disciples guarding the teleportation array were very sensible. They saw Jiang Han from afar and took the initiative to salute.

"I need to go to Dark City, it's urgent."

Jiang Han said. The guard understood and quickly let Jiang Han cut in line. Jiang Han took Jiang Li into Dark City.

Perhaps because she was with Jiang Han, Jiang Li wasn't too scared after arriving in Dark City. Her big eyes looked around, seeing that it wasn't much different from the outside city, with people coming and going, very lively.

Jiang Han took Jiang Li to buy some clothes first, and then took her to the largest inn, opened a superior room for Jiang Li, and paid for half a month directly.

Taking Jiang Li into the room, Jiang Han gave Jiang Li some Profound Stones, but not too many.

He told her not to go out if she didn't have to, that the inn had food and drink, and not to trust anyone, and to wait here for him to pick her up.

Jiang Li's little face was a little flustered, and she didn't say anything, just silently listened to Jiang Han's words.

When Jiang Han was about to leave, she stood up, her big eyes full of reluctance as she looked at Jiang Han, and she moved her lips and said, "Brother, you must come and pick me up, don't abandon Li'er."

"Silly girl!"

Jiang Han said with a faint smile, "No matter what, Brother will never abandon Little Li'er, wait for Brother to come back."

Jiang Han turned and left, and only then did mist well up in Jiang Li's big eyes.

She trotted a few steps to the window, gently opened a crack, and secretly watched Jiang Han leave.

As soon as Jiang Han walked out of the inn, his pace quickened. He didn't return to Cloud Dream City, but went to a large shop in Dark City and spent three million Profound Stones to buy a Battle Beast Ring.

The Suanni beast was too large, and its beastly aura was too heavy, so it was very inconvenient without a Battle Beast Ring.

For example, when he entered Cloud Dream City, he could only leave the Suanni beast in the wild. With a Battle Beast Ring, it would be much more convenient, and he could usually let the Suanni beast rest inside.

Jiang Han teleported back to Cloud Dream City, went down the mountain straight to the dense forest, found the Suanni beast, and rode the Suanni beast straight to Dragonfall City.

… …

Not long after Jiang Han left, in another inn in Dark City, in a courtyard, a middle-aged man walked in quickly.

Inside, an old man was leisurely half-lying, with two beautiful girls behind him and beside his legs, helping him massage his legs and beat his back.

After the middle-aged man came in, the old man opened his eyes, waved his hand, and the two girls retreated.

The old man asked, "Chen Zhong, is there any movement in Cloud Dream City?"

"Yes!"

The middle-aged man pressed on his face and took off a mask, revealing his true face.

This person was Chen Zhong, the former Internal Affairs Hall deacon of the Cloud Dream Pavilion. He was Han Shiqi's number one confidant. Han Shiqi had escaped, so he naturally didn't dare to continue staying in the Cloud Dream Pavilion.

Chen Zhong said, "Hall Master, Jiang Han came back half an hour ago. He went to the Cloud Dream Palace and brought Jiang Li to Dark City, and settled her in the Tianfu Inn. Now he has returned to Cloud Dream City and has gone down the mountain. He should have gone to Dragonfall City."

"Jiang Li?"

A cold light flashed in Han Shiqi's eyes, and the pair of clear, watery eyes of Jiang Li and her pretty face appeared in his mind. A lewd light flashed in his eyes.

He pondered for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Leave Jiang Li alone for now, the main thing is important. You continue to lurk in Cloud Dream City, and report any disturbance to me as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Chen Zhong nodded, just as he was about to retreat, Han Shiqi said with a smile, "Chen Zhong, when this matter is done, you will be the Hall Master of the Internal Affairs Hall in the future."

A look of great joy appeared on Chen Zhong's face. He quickly turned around and bowed in thanks before turning around and leaving again.

"Hehe!"

Han Shiqi took a sip of tea and laughed to himself, muttering, "The bait has been set, it depends on the result of this netting. Hmph, Ling Yunmeng, Qi Tiandu, you are all going to die."

"And Jiang Han, you must also die, and that Fatty Jiang must also die. It's a pity that I can't kill you myself this time, a great regret…"

"Hehe, if things can be done, I will be the number two figure in the Cloud Dream Pavilion in the future, and I can have whatever I want. The beautiful girls from the hundreds of families under the Cloud Dream Pavilion, I can play with whoever I want, hahaha… Oh, right!"

Han Shiqi suddenly thought of something and said in a deep voice, "Old Ding!"

An old man walked in from outside, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, what are your orders?"

"There is a little girl staying in Tianfu Inn, named Jiang Li, she is Jiang Han's sister!"

Han Shiqi instructed, "You send someone to keep an eye on her. If she leaves the inn, inform me as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

The old man went down, and only then did a cruel smile appear on Han Shiqi's face, "Jiang Han, when you die, I will definitely help you take good care of your sister. I promise not to let her die, I promise to make her… wish she were dead!"
