Wu Shattered Star River

"Monstrous and depraved, utterly unforgivable!"

Inside the Jiang Clan's ancestral hall, corpses were laid out side by side. Including Jiang Xiong, Jiang Hu, and others already placed in coffins, the number of corpses in the hall had reached twelve.

In just a few days, the Jiang Clan had lost twelve members, most of whom were patrol team members with decent combat power. This was a significant loss for the Jiang Clan, a tragedy that hadn't occurred in many years.

The ancestral hall was brightly lit, and the torches burning on the surrounding walls flickered and crackled in the wind. The hall was packed inside and out with people, and many women were wailing loudly.

Jiang Xiaotian and several elders were at the innermost part of the hall. Jiang Xiaotian paced back and forth, his anger causing him to fly into a rage.

The death of twelve clan elites in a matter of days was a major event for any clan.

An elder in the clan had just suggested inviting the Jiang Clan Leader to emerge from seclusion and take charge of the overall situation.

This made Jiang Xiaotian, already short-tempered, even more upset. Furthermore, he had heard that people from Guan Family Town, Stone Village, and Ma Family Village were coming to Jiang Family Town tomorrow to demand an explanation. This matter originated from the reward notice issued by Jiang Family Town. People had died on their side, so naturally, they wanted some compensation…

These were actually minor matters!

What truly infuriated Jiang Xiaotian was that over a hundred people couldn't kill a Purple Mansion Realm level six cultivator. Instead, Jiang Han had killed nineteen of them.

A sense of fear and unease began to surge in Jiang Xiaotian's heart.

The figure of Jiang Henshui constantly flashed in his mind, that peerless genius who had suppressed them since childhood, leaving them unable to breathe.

Jiang Henshui had disappeared six years ago and never reappeared.

It was also in that year that he broke through to the Profound Abyss Realm. Because of Jiang Henshui's disappearance, there was a vacancy in the Elder Hall, and he became the Third Elder of the Jiang Clan.

After becoming an elder, the gloom in his heart vanished. He believed that in the years to come, no one would be able to suppress him again. He would rise rapidly and eventually become the Jiang Clan Leader.

He also wanted to lead the Jiang Clan to become the strongest family within a hundred miles. His name, Jiang Xiaotian, would leave a heavy mark in the Jiang Clan's history.

However…

Jiang Henshui had disappeared, but his son had risen abruptly, and his momentum was even fiercer than Jiang Henshui's!

In his heart, he was very clear that Jiang Han was not practicing demonic arts. What are demonic arts? They are sinister and eerie techniques. Cultivating such techniques would change a person's entire temperament, making it recognizable at a glance.

Jiang Han possessed various strange abilities, which seemed more like… bloodline divine powers!

He himself possessed the bloodline divine power "Blazing Inferno." He had also witnessed the divine powers of many powerful martial artists. Jiang Han's teleportation was a bit strange, but he had heard of the Earth Penetration Technique.

It was said that in "Heavenly Wolf Hall," a major power north of the Heavenly Fox Mountains, there was a strong individual who possessed a similar divine power, capable of penetrating walls and burrowing underground.

The more it was like this…

The more frightened and uneasy Jiang Xiaotian became. If it really was a divine power, then Jiang Han was too heaven-defying. He had never heard of anyone in the Purple Mansion Realm awakening a divine power, and Jiang Han seemed to have awakened two?

Was this still a human?

He was going to send Jiang Li to Han Shiqi, and there was no way to change this matter. Therefore, a deadly feud had been formed between him and Jiang Han, with no room for reconciliation.

This son, Jiang Han, was even more ruthless than his father. He was simply a killing star. Once Jiang Han grew up, his lineage would probably be slaughtered clean!

If Jiang Han became even more tyrannical, the entire Jiang Clan might even be exterminated!

"Jiang Han must die, he must die!"

The scar on Jiang Xiaotian's face twitched incessantly, but his eyes became exceptionally firm. He swept his gaze around and said in a low voice, "Tomorrow morning, I will personally go up the mountain to hunt down Jiang Han. Jiang Long, you take ten people to watch over Jiang Li day and night. As long as Jiang Li is here, Jiang Han won't be able to escape."

"Third Uncle…"

Jiang Long's clothes were tattered, and his eyes were filled with bloodshot veins. He hadn't slept all night and had been running around on the mountain all day, his body and mind exhausted to the extreme. He knew that Third Uncle was asking him to stay behind because he was afraid that he would be killed by Jiang Han. Staying in Jiang Family Town would be safer.

After receiving a fierce glare from Jiang Xiaotian, he had no choice but to reluctantly cup his fist and say, "Yes!"

"Everyone, disperse!"

Looking at the weeping women, the Third Elder waved his hand impatiently and said, "The town will be under strict guard, be careful of being ambushed by Jiang Han. Tomorrow, I will definitely twist off Jiang Han's head to comfort the souls of the deceased in heaven."

The grief-stricken faces of many clansmen showed a slight hint of encouragement. Jiang Xiaotian was a level three Profound Abyss Realm cultivator, with astonishing combat power.

Two years ago, when Jiang Family Town had a conflict with Wang Family Town, Jiang Xiaotian led the clansmen to defeat the Wang family, leaving them in a state of utter defeat. In the hearts of the Jiang Clan, his combat power was even above that of the Second Elder.

Jiang Han was indeed a monster, but no matter how monstrous he was, he was still in the Purple Mansion Realm. It would be a piece of cake for Jiang Xiaotian to take action.

… …

At the same time, in Wang Family Town, Du Family Town, Guan Family Town, and many other families, the clan leaders or those in power were holding clan meetings tonight, subtly conveying a message — those who went to the Heavenly Fox Mountains to hunt down Jiang Han were greedy for the reward and brought it upon themselves. No one else should go after Jiang Han, or they would bear the consequences.

These orders aroused dissatisfaction among many clansmen, because today Jiang Han had slaughtered nineteen people in the Heavenly Fox Mountains. Not only did the clan leaders and those in power not avenge the dead clansmen, but they also prevented them from seeking revenge. What did this mean?

Three people from Guan Family Town had been killed, and their relatives were dissatisfied. They gathered a group of people to find the Guan Family Clan Leader and demand an explanation.

The Guan Family Clan Leader did not come out, but only had someone pass on a message, and the people causing trouble in the Guan family immediately became silent — if Jiang Henshui was not dead, he would definitely be a high-level Profound Abyss Realm cultivator now, and possibly even a Sea Breaking Realm expert.

Not to mention Jiang Henshui, just Jiang Han himself was also a brilliant talent, not much weaker than his father.

If they couldn't kill him this time, once they completely antagonized him and gave him a few years to grow, what awaited them would be the disaster of clan extermination!

Yes.

The clan leaders of the various families were afraid.

They were afraid that Jiang Henshui was not dead, and they were also afraid… that Jiang Han would not die this time.
