Wu Shattered Star River

“Can't leave!”

Jiang Han quickly made up his mind; he planned to stay here for a while longer, deciphering all the array diagrams to see if the Vast Heaven Stone would recognize him as its master.

If it didn't recognize him by then, it wouldn't be too late to leave.

“Shang Flag!”

Seeing Jiang Han's condition, Nightheaven Python quickly said to Shang Flag, “Quickly remove the chains from the Starry Emperor, we'll take him out to heal.

Once he's fully recovered, we'll send him back to the Heavenly Court.”

Shang Flag knew how to unlock the chains and was about to help Jiang Han.

At this moment, Jiang Han suddenly opened his eyes and roared, “Die, die, all of you die!

Heavenly Camel, Heavenly Demon, Heavenly Abyss, kill them, kill them all!”

Jiang Han suddenly roared, his soul power紊乱 (wěnluàn, disordered), his face contorted, scaring Nightheaven Python and Shang Flag, who thought he had gone mad.

Heavenly Demon felt even more heartache seeing Jiang Han's appearance, but at this moment, a murmur arose in his heart.

It was normal for Jiang Han to ask him and Heavenly Camel to kill, but why did he also call for Heavenly Abyss to be killed?

Did he not remember that Heavenly Abyss's physical body was destroyed, and only a remnant soul remained?

“Heavenly Demon, did you hear me?

Go and kill Heavenly Abyss for me, kill Heavenly Abyss immediately!”

“Heavenly Abyss deserves to die, betraying me, Heavenly Demon, kill him for me!”

“Kill, kill, kill!

Heavenly Demon, kill Jiang Nian, Jiang An, and Jiang Xin for me!”

Jiang Han kept roaring, leaving Nightheaven Python and Shang Flag utterly speechless.

Had Jiang Han really gone mad?

He even wanted to kill his own sons and daughters?

Nightheaven Python's expression was a little ugly; Jiang Han mustn't really go mad, or the Azure Emperor and Jiang Henshui might order a withdrawal of troops in anger.

Heavenly Demon's expression became strange; even if Jiang Han was mad, he wouldn't want to kill Heavenly Abyss, let alone Jiang Nian and Jiang An, right?

Even a tiger wouldn't eat its cubs; if a person went mad, they would still retain memories in their soul; how could they kill their own sons and daughters?

He looked towards Jiang Han, and at this moment, Jiang Han met his gaze, his blood-red eyes flashing slightly.

At this moment, Heavenly Demon suddenly understood.

Jiang Han was doing this on purpose!

Jiang Han hadn't gone mad; he was sending him some kind of signal through these words?

What did Jiang Han want to express?

Jiang Han was about to be released; what couldn't be said after going out?

Could it be… Jiang Han didn't want to leave?

Heavenly Demon was very clever and immediately figured it out.

Seeing Shang Flag about to unleash a stream of light to break the chains, he quickly said, “Brother Shang Flag, don't move yet!”

“Huh?”

Shang Flag looked at Heavenly Demon with some surprise, and Nightheaven Python also looked at Heavenly Demon with confusion.

Heavenly Demon explained, “The young master's condition is currently unclear; we can't act rashly.

I'll heal him first to restore some of his soul before releasing him.”

“I'm afraid that if we release him now, he'll go on a killing spree in his madness; none of us are his match, and the three of us will die.”

Shang Flag was startled and quickly didn't dare to move.

He nodded and said, “That makes sense, Immortal Emperor Heavenly Demon, you heal him first.

It won't be too late to release him after he's recovered somewhat.”

Nightheaven Python nodded; anyway, the Bloodmourn Clan had already agreed to release Jiang Han, so a few days earlier or later didn't matter much.

Heavenly Demon quickly took out soul-nourishing spiritual medicine, refined it, and fed it to Jiang Han, while also personally using his soul power to help Jiang Han recover.

Jiang Han gradually calmed down and then fell into a deep sleep.

After sensing for a while, Heavenly Demon said to Nightheaven Python, “Brother Nightheaven Python, the young master's condition seems to require several months of recuperation.

Please go out and send a message to my Grand Marshal to avoid worrying him.”

“Alright!”

Nightheaven Python nodded; since Nightheaven Python was going up, Shang Flag naturally had to accompany him.

He hesitated for a moment and then instructed, “Immortal Emperor Heavenly Demon, this is an important place for our clan; we don't want any problems to occur here.”

“Of course!”

Heavenly Demon nodded and then said with a wry smile, “Even if I wanted to destroy it with my combat power, I wouldn't be able to.”

Shang Flag thought about it and realized that made sense; this Vast Heaven Stone couldn't be destroyed by even a Heavenly Emperor in a short time, let alone an Emperor-level cultivator.

If there was a big commotion here, the higher-ups would definitely notice.

Besides, there was a King-level cultivator constantly monitoring this place.

Shang Flag took Nightheaven Python away, while Heavenly Demon took out spiritual medicine and continued to heal Jiang Han.

Jiang Han seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, but a sliver of his soul was always awake.

After Nightheaven Python and Shang Flag left, he quickly transmitted his voice, “Uncle Yao, why are you here?”

“As expected!”

Heavenly Demon was overjoyed inwardly, but he didn't dare to show it on the surface.

He was sitting with his back to that King-level cultivator, and he quickly transmitted his voice, telling Jiang Han about the recent events.

Jiang Han understood, and he transmitted his voice, “Uncle Yao, I can't leave now.

This stone pillar is a heaven-defying treasure, and I now have hope of subduing it.

I've been working hard for many years, and now it's just a few months away; I don't want to give up.”

“Oh?”

A look of surprise appeared in Heavenly Demon's eyes, and he smiled wryly in his heart.

Jiang Han could really stir up trouble; being suppressed and imprisoned here, he actually wanted to take away the Bloodmourn Clan's treasure.

He pondered for a moment and then transmitted his voice, “Young master, we are now preparing to form an alliance with the Bloodmourn Clan.

If you take away their treasure, will it affect the relationship between the two great powers?”

“I can't control that much!”

Jiang Han transmitted his voice, “I've worked so hard for so long, I don't want to give up halfway.

Besides… what is the Bloodmourn Clan as an ally?

They only agreed to release me after taking so many resources; such an ally is better off without.

The Bloodmourn Clan is nothing without the Bloodmourn River.”

“Furthermore… treasures of heaven and earth are for the virtuous to dwell in.

This thing has been here for millions of years, and the Bloodmourn Clan has no way to refine it.

If I can refine it, it means I am the chosen one, and this Vast Heaven Stone should belong to me.”

Jiang Han didn't feel any psychological burden about stealing the Bloodmourn Clan's treasure.

In his opinion, there was no reason in this world.

For example, this time he went to attack the Southern Mourn Realm; from the Heavenly Court's standpoint, he was righteous, he was a hero.

From the Bloodmourn Clan's standpoint, he was a shameless invader, a plunderer.

He was captured by the Bloodmourn Clan's experts; if he was killed or suppressed here for the rest of his life, he would have nothing to say.

After all, from the Bloodmourn Clan's standpoint, his actions were wrong, they were heinous.

He had been tortured here for so many years, he had worked so hard for so many years, he was naturally unwilling to give up halfway.

Heavenly Demon was silent for a moment and then transmitted his voice, “Alright, I'll help you cover, but… there's a King-level cultivator from the Bloodmourn Clan here.

Aren't you afraid of him noticing what you're doing?

If the Bloodmourn Clan's higher-ups find out, none of us will be able to escape.”

“He won't notice!”

Jiang Han transmitted his voice with great certainty, “As long as the Bloodmourn Clan's Emperor-level and Heavenly Emperor-level experts don't come down, I can act quietly.

Give me another half a year, and I can complete the derivation of all the array diagrams.

Whether I can take this Vast Heaven Stone away by then will depend on luck.”

Jiang Han opened a slit in his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the many imprisoned experts.

The corners of his mouth curled into a slight arc, and he transmitted his voice, “Perhaps after subduing the Vast Heaven Stone, I can also find a way to subdue and take away this group of imprisoned experts.”

“Hmm…”

Heavenly Demon's eyes lit up.

There were seventy or eighty experts imprisoned here, more than half of whom hadn't completely gone mad.

Most of them were Emperor-level, with only four King-level.

If he could subdue and take away this group of experts, what a powerful force that would be.
