Wu Shattered Star River

The Heavenly Demon still underestimated Yuqiuyu's abilities. The power of the Heavenly Punishment Palace was too strong. Once the Heavenly Demon's whereabouts were exposed, how could he escape so easily?

Although there were many powerful figures in the Qing Emperor's faction, with the Qing Emperor's life or death uncertain, no one dared to rebel. Naturally, no powerful figures dared to openly help the Heavenly Demon.

Yuqiuyu was able to mobilize the resources of the entire Heavenly Court, easily gathering powerful figures to intercept and track down the Heavenly Demon Immortal Emperor.

In the end, Yuqiuyu personally took action. The Heavenly Demon didn't even have a chance to commit suicide. The difference in combat power was too great, and he was captured on the spot.

Of course!

Although this matter caused quite a stir, only the higher-ups knew about it. Yuqiuyu ordered the news to be blocked, and it did not spread.

Not to mention Heavenly Slaughter Immortal Sovereign, even many Immortal Sovereigns in the Heavenly Court did not know the news. Some Immortal Kings had only heard some rumors, but they did not know the specific situation.

Yu Xi's third uncle couldn't possibly deceive him. Aside from Jiang Han having saved the life of the Yu family's patriarch, Yu Xi was with Jiang Han. Furthermore, the relationship between the Yu family and Qing Emperor Jiang Henshui had always been good, so there was no reason to betray Jiang Han.

Hearing the news of the Heavenly Demon Immortal Emperor's capture, Jiang Han's heart sank.

The Heavenly Demon had followed his father for many years. After this period of interaction, he genuinely regarded the Heavenly Demon as one of his own uncles.

What would be the Heavenly Demon's fate after being captured? One possibility was being imprisoned for life, with the Jade Emperor using the Heavenly Demon as a pawn to deal with Jiang Henshui.

The other was being publicly beheaded as a warning to others. The Heavenly Demon definitely wouldn't even have the chance to commit suicide now.

The Heavenly Demon was captured all because Jiang Han wanted to descend to the lower realm. His inner urgency was imaginable.

At this moment, Bao Ji spoke up, saying, "Young Master, we can't stay in the God-Demon Battlefield any longer. We must leave immediately and return to the Ancient God Star Region."

In Bao Ji's view, now that the Heavenly Demon had been captured, there was no point in them staying here.

The longer they stayed here, the greater the risk they would face. Once the Heavenly Court detected them and Yuqiuyu launched a surprise attack, none of them would be able to escape.

Jiang Han ignored Bao Ji. He remained silent for a moment, then turned his gaze to Yu Xi's third uncle and said, "Third Uncle, can you help me find out where Uncle Yao is being held right now? Is he imprisoned in a certain Immortal Kingdom, or has he already been escorted to the Heavenly Court?"

Yu Xi's third uncle frowned and said in a deep voice, "Jiang Han, don't act impulsively. Even if he's imprisoned in an Immortal Kingdom, Yuqiuyu will definitely be there."

"Even if Yuqiuyu isn't there, it's definitely a trap to lure you to rescue him."

Bao Ji nodded and said, "Young Master, you must be calm. Since Lord Heavenly Demon has fallen into Yuqiuyu's hands, it's absolutely impossible to rescue him."

"Even if the Heavenly Emperor were to come, he wouldn't be able to save him!"

What a joke!

Now that the person had been captured by Yuqiuyu, Jiang Han was still thinking about rescuing him? Did he really think that the Heavenly Court was full of useless people?

Putting aside everything else, with just Yuqiuyu alone, Jiang Han taking Bao Ji and Luo Sheng Immortal Emperor there would be like moths flying into a flame, serving no purpose other than to die.

However, Jiang Han's eyes remained firm. He bowed deeply to Yu Xi's third uncle and said, "I'll have to trouble Third Uncle!"

"Alright!"

Yu Xi's third uncle sighed slightly. He took out an Immortal Talisman and began to transmit a message.

Jiang Han knew that it would take time to get an accurate reply, so he asked Yu Xi's third uncle to leave first, as being with them still carried risks.

Jiang Han and Yu Xi's third uncle agreed to meet in the vicinity five days later.

After Yu Xi's third uncle left, Jiang Han thought for a while and had Bao Ji take Heavenly Slaughter Immortal Sovereign back to the Atonement Camp. He and Luo Sheng Immortal Emperor entered Bao Ji's Spatial Immortal Artifact and secretly entered the Atonement Camp.

Bao Ji disguised herself as a new concubine of Heavenly Slaughter Immortal Sovereign and openly moved into Heavenly Slaughter Immortal Sovereign's residence. Jiang Han and Luo Sheng Immortal Emperor settled down in the backyard, waiting for news.

The Atonement Camp considered itself a self-contained unit. Heavenly Slaughter Immortal Sovereign was the ruler here. They usually didn't have contact with the outside world, so staying here was very safe and hidden.

Five days later, Yu Xi's third uncle arrived.

His expression was very heavy. After entering, he sighed and said, "I received accurate news. Lord Heavenly Demon has already been taken to the Heavenly Court and is imprisoned in the dungeon of the Heavenly Punishment Palace."

"Thump!"

Jiang Han's heart sank, and his last hope was shattered.

The Heavenly Court was a place full of powerful figures, and the Jade Emperor was in the Heavenly Court. Not to mention Jiang Han, even if Jiang Henshui brought all the Immortal Emperors from the Ancient God Star Region, they wouldn't be able to break in. There was no way to rescue the Heavenly Demon.

At this moment, Bao Ji was relieved instead. She comforted Jiang Han, saying, "Young Master, don't worry too much. Yuqiuyu probably won't kill Lord Heavenly Demon. Wait for the Heavenly Emperor to come out of seclusion, and then we can slowly think of a solution."

Jiang Han forced himself to calm down. He took a deep breath and rubbed his temples.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "Third Uncle, how many sons does Yuqiuyu have? Where are they all right now?"

"Uh…"

Yu Xi's third uncle was stunned for a moment, then understood what Jiang Han wanted to do. He thought for a while and shook his head, saying, "Yuqiuyu has many sons, as many as seven, and two have died in battle. Now, three sons are in the Heavenly Punishment Palace, and one son is in Yuqiuyu's fiefdom, Yuqiu Immortal Kingdom."

"Jiang Han, don't think about kidnapping Yuqiuyu's sons. You won't be able to capture the three sons in the Heavenly Punishment Palace."

"The son in Yuqiu Immortal Kingdom is not valued by him. Even if you capture him, it won't mean anything. Yuqiuyu is cold-blooded by nature and won't release the Heavenly Demon for the sake of a son."

"Now that the Heavenly Demon has been taken to the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor must already know about it. How would Yuqiuyu dare to privately release the Heavenly Demon for the sake of one of his sons? He wouldn't be able to keep his position as the Palace Master of the Heavenly Punishment Palace, and the Jade Emperor wouldn't allow it."

"Yes!"

Bao Ji advised, "Yuqiuyu is known for being cold-blooded. I heard that Yuqiuyu's eldest son was captured by the Demon Clan. Yuqiuyu not only didn't go to save him, but instead killed several high-ranking members of the Demon Clan on the spot, forcing the Demon Clan to kill his eldest son."

"Hmm…"

Jiang Han nodded, then his eyes turned and he asked, "It seems that the Jade Emperor only has one mentally challenged son? How many grandsons does he have? Can we capture a grandson?"

Yuqiuyu's sons are worthless, but the Jade Emperor's grandsons are very valuable. If they could capture one of the Jade Emperor's grandsons, they would have a chance to exchange him for the Heavenly Demon Immortal Emperor.

"This…"

Yu Xi's third uncle's eyes shrank, and his heart trembled violently.

Jiang Han wanted to capture the Jade Emperor's grandson? He wouldn't even dare to think about such a rebellious thing!

Jiang Han was really too bold!

However, he thought about it and wondered what Jiang Han wouldn't dare to do? The Fourth Imperial Grandson had already died at Jiang Han's hands, so what did it matter if he captured another Imperial Grandson?

Yu Xi's third uncle swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling somewhat uneasy.

If Jiang Han really captured the Jade Emperor's grandson, and news of his meeting with Jiang Han spread, the entire Yu family would probably be exterminated by the Jade Emperor.

His eyes flickered around, and he advised, "Jiang Han, calm down. Although the Jade Emperor has several grandsons, most of them are in the Heavenly Court and rarely go out."

"Even if they occasionally go out, they are protected by Immortal Emperor guards. Furthermore… even if you can capture one, it will be very difficult for you to escape successfully. You'll be deep in the Heavenly Court's territory, and you might not be able to return!"

Bao Ji advised, "Young Master, don't act rashly! Otherwise, this subordinate will have to forcibly take you back!"

Jiang Han ignored Bao Ji and stared at Yu Xi's third uncle with bright eyes, asking, "Third Uncle, judging from your tone, the Jade Emperor has a grandson outside? Can you tell me where he is?"

"As long as you tell me where he is, you don't have to worry about the rest. Jiang Han will never forget the Yu family's kindness in helping me this time. Third Uncle, I'm begging you."

"Don't mention anything about kindness!"

Yu Xi's third uncle quickly waved his hand and sighed, saying, "If it weren't for you, my patriarch would have died long ago, and the Yu family might have been swallowed by the Xing family."

"Forget it… As far as I know, the Fifth Imperial Grandson Zhang Xiongji has been on Mars recently. If you want to take action, Zhang Xiongji is the best target."
