Wu Shattered Star River

In Jiangjia Town, the fire at the Elders' Courtyard had been extinguished, with only one courtyard burned, causing no casualties.

The bodies of Jiang Long and the others were once again moved into the ancestral hall. Jiang Hu and the others hadn't been buried yet, as Jiang Xiaotian said they would be interred after Jiang Han's body was brought back for the memorial service.

The bodies of the Hunting Squad members and clansmen killed by Jiang Han later were also placed here. Including Jiang Long and the four others, the number of coffins placed in the ancestral hall had reached nearly twenty…

When Jiang Xiaotian returned with the main force and saw the burned courtyard and the bodies of Jiang Long and the others, his face turned ashen with anger, and his body swayed slightly, almost falling.

Jiang Hu and Jiang Xiong didn't matter as much, but Jiang Long was one of the most valued juniors and the most likely genius in the clan to break through to the Profound Abyss Realm.

Now that he had been killed by Jiang Han, he not only lost a nephew, but his lineage also suffered the loss of a future powerhouse.

The only thing that made him feel fortunate was that Jiang Li hadn't been taken away by Jiang Han.

Jiang Long had done something very clever. He had tied up Jiang Li and hidden her in the woodshed of that large courtyard. Jiang Long was also worried about a sudden attack by Jiang Han, so he had taken precautions.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Han really did launch a surprise attack on Jiangjia Town and took Jiang Long's life.

“Pass down my order, all clansmen are to retreat!”

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Xiaotian issued an order for the Hunting Squad members stationed at the foot of Heavenly Fox Mountain Range to withdraw.

There was no point in stationing them there. Jiang Han possessed the Earth Penetration skill, coming and going without a trace, making it unrealistic to pursue him. Those Hunting Squad members staying outside would only be sacrificed in vain.

“Third Elder, are we not going to kill Jiang Han?”

A middle-aged man looked at Jiang Xiaotian with red eyes. His son was a member of the Hunting Squad and was currently lying in a coffin in the ancestral hall. Naturally, he was unwilling to give up.

“No!”

Jiang Xiaotian waved his hand and said, “Jiang Han possesses earth-burrowing magic. Pursuing him like this is like searching for a needle in the ocean. Our clan has already suffered heavy losses this time, and we can't let any more clansmen die in vain. Master Han will be here in a few days to marry Jiang Li. When that time comes, we will hold a grand celebration. It's impossible for Jiang Han to stand idly by and watch Jiang Li being taken to Cloud Dream City. He will definitely show up.”

“We only need to wait for him to come to our doorstep. Rest assured, no matter what, I will not let Jiang Han go. There must be an explanation for the deaths of so many clansmen.”

Speaking of "explanation", Jiang Xiaotian's tone became a bit heavy.

Just now, Jiang Han's surprise attack caused such a big commotion, but the Jiang Clan Leader didn't appear. This shows that the Clan Leader is at the most critical moment of breaking through to the Mountain Sea Realm, and he should be coming out soon.

With such a big incident and so many deaths, he not only needs to give an explanation to the clansmen, but also to the Clan Leader, otherwise his position as the Third Elder will be in jeopardy.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaotian clenched his fists, the scar on his face contorted, and his eyes became extremely venomous as he muttered, “Jiang Han, you must die, you must die!”

…

Jiang Han didn't return to the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range. After escaping from Jiangjia Town, he thought about it and went to the mountain cave behind the waterfall where he had previously stayed.

He hadn't had a good rest for a while. Tonight, he hadn't found Jiang Li, and he was physically and mentally exhausted, wanting to get a good night's sleep.

In the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range, even though he could burrow into the ground, there were earth dragons underground, so how could he sleep peacefully?

Silently arriving at the mountain cave behind the waterfall, Jiang Han ate some wild fruits and leaned against the cave wall, falling into a deep sleep.

Even though he was safe in the cave, Jiang Han still woke up seven or eight times that night.

Even if a wild cat nearby made a sound, he would immediately wake up and prepare for battle.

He woke up after dawn. He ate some wild fruits and didn't go out, but chose to cultivate in the cave.

It was too dangerous to go out during the day. Moreover, last night he had launched a surprise attack on Jiangjia Town, killed Jiang Long, and burned the Elders' Courtyard. Jiang Xiaotian was probably going crazy. It was too dangerous to go out now. Jiangjia Town would be heavily guarded and would definitely not give him a chance to kill at will.

He had more than twenty bottles of pills on him. He decided to refine them all in the next few days to see if he could break through to the seventh level of the Purple Mansion Realm. With one more level of cultivation, his combat power would be improved.

In fact, the best way to improve combat power was to awaken another divine ability.

The problem was that he didn't recognize any of the other demonic beasts on the Heavenly Beast Cauldron, which meant that either the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range didn't have them, or they were at least second-order demonic beasts.

The combat power of second-order demonic beasts was comparable to the Profound Abyss Realm. He would definitely die if he encountered them, so it was almost impossible to obtain another divine ability in a short period of time.

He didn't understand profound skills, and he didn't have any secret manuals. The only thing he could do was frantically refine pills to see if he could break through to the seventh level of the Purple Mansion Realm in a short period of time.

After cultivating for a day, he moved out after nightfall. He walked very carefully. Once there was any disturbance, he would immediately hide. If he felt something was wrong, he would burrow into the ground and escape.

To his surprise, there was no one outside Jiangjia Town. He went to the foot of the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range and found that there was no one at the entrance to the mountain either.

He returned to the outside of Jiangjia Town again and carefully approached through the tunnel. Finally, he determined one thing.

The Jiang family's warriors had fully retreated, and the town was on high alert. It was obvious that Jiang Xiaotian had given up chasing him.

It was impossible for Jiang Xiaotian to let him go. There were only two reasons for doing this. Either it was a feint, retreating and defending on the surface while secretly tracking him.

Or Jiang Xiaotian had completely given up the pursuit and was just waiting for the day Jiang Li was to be married, for him to take the initiative to come to their doorstep.

Jiang Xiaotian had calculated that he would not abandon Jiang Li!

He had never thought of abandoning Jiang Li. As long as he could rescue Jiang Li, he would not hesitate to sacrifice himself.

Torches were lit on the streets of Jiangjia Town, and the Hunting Squad was fully mobilized, with ten people in each team, patrolling day and night.

After investigating for a while, Jiang Han knew that he had no chance. Even if there was a chance, it would be a trap. Jiang Xiaotian was probably waiting for him there with a knife.

He didn't hesitate, decisively withdrew, returned to the cave under the waterfall, and continued to cultivate and rest.

The same was true for the next few days!

No clansmen came out of Jiangjia Town anymore. The town was on high alert day and night. If there was any disturbance, a large number of strong people from the Hunting Squad would rush to support them as soon as possible.

Jiang Xiaotian was sitting in the Elders' Hall, personally guarding Jiang Li. Jiang Han had no chance to take advantage of.

Jiang Han was depressed, but he could do nothing. He could only fill his stomach with wild fruits all day long, and then stay in the cave to cultivate day and night.

More than twenty bottles of pills were quickly refined by him. These pills were very precious, and no one would cultivate like him.

Continuously refining pills non-stop, even Jiang Xiaotian's own son could not afford to squander them…

Under such crazy pill consumption, Jiang Han's cultivation speed increased sharply. The seventh-level altar in the Purple Mansion Secret Vault had been built for the most part. It was estimated that when all the pills were refined, the seventh-level altar would be almost successfully constructed.

The Jiang clan didn't take any action, and Jiang Han had disappeared like vapor, the nearby villages and towns gradually returned to peace from the previous hustle and bustle.

However, everyone knew that Han Shiqi was about to come to Jiangjia Town to marry Jiang Li.

On that day, Jiang Han would definitely appear!

At that time, this matter would come to an end, of course… no one was optimistic about Jiang Han, and everyone agreed that Jiang Han would completely fall on that day.

In the Good Luck Gambling House, there was a very high odd, one to one thousand, betting that Jiang Han could rescue Jiang Li.

The odds were so high, but no one placed a bet!

Not even a single Xuan Stone.

Han Shiqi was a big figure in Cloud Dream Pavilion. His cultivation level was not high among the higher-ups in Cloud Dream Pavilion, it could even be said to be very low, only the fifth level of the Profound Abyss Realm.

But the fifth level of the Profound Abyss Realm was also a super powerhouse for Jiang Han, and Han Shiqi would definitely be followed by a team of Cloud Dream Pavilion warriors when he traveled, maybe even with the Profound Abyss Realm.

In addition to Jiang Xiaotian and the Hunting Squad of Jiangjia Town, with so many strong people gathered together, if Jiang Han dared to show up to snatch someone, the only ending waiting for him would be.

That is, to be reduced to ashes!
