Wu Shattered Star River

Bai Jie, the Immortal King, is the niece of the White Egret Immortal Emperor, treated as his own daughter. With her good talent and abundant resources, her combat power is naturally strong.

The demon king below had been slashed so many times by Jiang Han that the demonic power and energy in his body were almost completely drained. It was very difficult for him to resist Bai Jie, the Immortal King's attacks.

He desperately wanted to escape, but Bai Jie, having seized such an opportunity, how could she miss it? She attacked with all her might, and finally, she succeeded in the battle, beheading the demon king.

The Ancient Spirit Clan had been coordinating attacks on White Egret Mountain by various clans for so long, and this was the first King-level powerhouse to fall.

When the news spread, the entire White Egret Mountain was shaken, and the reputation of Bai Jie, the Immortal King, greatly increased.

Jiang Han's fame also soared because he withstood the assassination attempt by the demon king. Previously, some people had questioned whether Jiang Han could be ranked alongside the Three Holy Sons, but now such doubts had diminished significantly.

However, the fact that Jiang Han released the War God Bloodline was not spread. It should be that Bai Jie secretly ordered the soldiers on Feng Huo Mountain to block the news.

Jiang Han returned to White Cloud Mountain and quickly entered a period of weakness. After he recovered, Qingluan sent someone to invite him over.

"Bai Jie did this on purpose!"

Qingluan sat in the main hall with a dark face, surrounded by a group of Immortal Reverends.

After Jiang Han entered, she said coldly, "Jiang Han, tomorrow we will lead our troops back to Qingyun Mountain. We will not defend this White Egret Mountain anymore, let them die!"

Qingluan was furious, and none of the Immortal Reverends dared to advise her.

Qingyu glanced at Jiang Han and said, "Miss Luan, the Immortal Emperor told us to come and assist in the battle. We have not received the Immortal Emperor's order, so returning without authorization would be a violation of military orders..."

Another Immortal Reverend also advised, "Miss Luan, the Immortal Emperor should be able to return in the next few days. Why don't we wait a few more days? When the Immortal Emperor returns, we can report this matter to him and let the Immortal Emperor make a decision for us?"

"No more waiting!"

Miss Qingluan, in a fit of temper, waved her hand and said, "Qingyu, go and inform Bai Jie, just say that we will return to Qingyun Mountain tomorrow, no need to say anything else."

"Yes!"

Seeing Qingluan insist on doing so, Qingyu did not try to persuade her further.

In any case, Qingluan was the Grand Commander, and also the only daughter of the Qingyun Immortal Emperor. Even if she violated military orders, would the Qingyun Immortal Emperor really punish her?

Qingyu left, and Qingluan turned her gaze to Jiang Han and said, "Jiang Han, don't worry, I will definitely have my father demand an explanation from the White Egret Immortal Emperor regarding this matter."

Jiang Han didn't say anything. What happened today was indeed strange.

The fact that a demon king came to assassinate him was already strange in itself.

Most importantly—Bai Jie, the Immortal King's responsibility was to serve as a mobile force, patrolling various locations, and once a crisis appeared, she needed to provide support as soon as possible.

When the demon king appeared, Qingluan had already shouted a warning, yet Bai Jie, the Immortal King, waited several breaths before coming over?

This was too unusual, and it was a major dereliction of duty. Although the demon king was eventually killed, which was considered a great victory, it was an unforgivable matter for Qingluan and Jiang Han.

It was also because Jiang Han was lucky, the War God Bloodline stunned the demon king for a moment, and he also had the Shining Void Blade. If it had been an ordinary Immortal Reverend, he would have probably been turned into minced meat long ago.

"You all go back first and do your best to treat our wounded soldiers. We will evacuate first thing tomorrow morning. Jiang Han, stay behind!"

Qingluan was still in a fit of anger and didn't say much. She waved her hand to dismiss everyone, leaving only Jiang Han alone in the hall.

Qingluan turned her gaze to Jiang Han and asked, "Jiang Han, is that blade of yours the Shining Void Blade?"

"Yes!"

Jiang Han didn't hide it. He looked into Qingluan's eyes and, seeing that her gaze was clear, said, "It was with this blade that I killed the Little Imperial Grandson."

"A good blade!"

Qingluan nodded slightly, then added, "The reason why I want to leave tomorrow is that I'm afraid someone will have ulterior motives. I even suspect... that Bai Jie deliberately arrived late today, wanting you to die and seize your blade."

"That's possible!"

Jiang Han was stunned, not because of Bai Jie's intention to seize the blade, but because Qingluan, who seemed so carefree, could actually think so deeply?

"You should stay here with me tonight!"

Qingluan waved her hand and said, "Don't go back. I'm afraid you'll be in danger. We'll leave early tomorrow morning."

"Alright!"

Jiang Han cupped his fist and withdrew, completely relieved about Qingluan.

Qingluan already knew that he had the Shining Void Blade, yet her attitude towards him remained unchanged, and she had no intention of seizing the blade. It seemed that she was indeed from his father's faction.

Jiang Han summoned a soldier and asked him to inform Yu Xi and Immortal Reverend Wu Yun that he would not be returning tonight. He asked them to prepare for departure early tomorrow morning.

… …

"Qingluan is leaving?"

Half an hour later, in another palace on White Cloud Mountain, Luo Lin was wiping the sword in his hand when an old Immortal Reverend came to report something.

Luo Lin usually didn't care about ordinary matters, but he was very concerned about Qingluan's affairs.

He instructed several of his subordinates that any news about Qingluan must be reported immediately.

"It's just a small matter, why is she so angry?"

Luo Lin frowned, somewhat puzzled, and said, "It's just that Immortal King Bai Jie was a little late, and her subordinate almost died. But in the end, didn't he survive? And he even killed Xue Ning, why is she making such a fuss?"

The old Immortal Reverend hesitated for a moment, seeming to want to say something but stopping. Luo Lin swept a cold glance over him and said, "If you have something to say, say it. Why are you being so wishy-washy?"

"Yes!"

The old Immortal Reverend cupped his fist and said, "This subordinate has heard some rumors these past two days—saying that Miss Qingluan is quite grateful and admiring of Jiang Han for killing the Jade Emperor's grandson! Young Master, you should know that the Qingyun Immortal Emperor's entire clan was killed by the Jade Emperor back then."

Luo Lin raised a sharp eyebrow and asked, "And then?"

The old Immortal Reverend stammered somewhat and said, "This subordinate has heard… just heard, that Miss Qingluan and Jiang Han are mutually in love and have already made a private engagement!"

"Bullshit!"

Luo Lin was instantly furious and slashed his sword at the old man. The old man was immediately shocked and quickly condensed a light shield, but it was shattered by Luo Lin's sword.

Fortunately, Luo Lin stopped himself later, otherwise, this old man would have been killed by the sword.

Luo Lin glared angrily and said, "Qingluan is an Immortal King, the most talented woman of the Human Race. What is that Jiang Han? A Pseudo Immortal. How could Qingluan possibly take a liking to him?"

"Investigate. Anyone who dares to spread rumors and slander Qingluan's reputation, kill them all for me!"

"No need to investigate..."

Just then, a figure walked in from outside, a charming young lady, none other than Bai Xue.

She said with a wry smile, "Young Master Lin, this matter... may be true. Jiang Han stayed overnight in Miss Luan's palace half a month ago, and tonight she has left Jiang Han alone again."

"Moreover, for Jiang Han's sake, she threw a tantrum and insisted on leading the troops back to Qingyun Mountain tomorrow. Even my mother couldn't persuade her. She even said that if Jiang Han dies, she will make my mother pay with her life!"

"What?"

Luo Lin instantly revealed a rolling killing intent. His eyes turned red, and he asked in a deep voice, "Bai Xue, are you sure? Qingluan really left Jiang Han to stay overnight in her palace?"

Bai Xue smiled wryly and said, "Young Master Lin, how dare I say a half-truth about this matter? Jiang Han is in Qingluan's bedroom. If Young Master Lin doesn't believe it, send someone to investigate and you'll know."

"Alas... I came here because I couldn't bear to see the most beautiful flower of our Human Race being plucked by a Pseudo Immortal. Miss Luan... must have been deceived by Jiang Han's sweet words..."

"Swoosh!"

Before Bai Xue could finish speaking, Luo Lin's figure flashed and rushed out of the palace, transforming into a stream of light and flying towards Qingluan's palace.

"Young Master Lin, please calm your anger!"

"Young Master, be calm!"

Bai Xue and the old Immortal Reverend saw Luo Lin fly out, and their expressions changed drastically. One was anxious, and the other was outwardly anxious but inwardly ecstatic…
