Wu Shattered Star River

“The world is in chaos, demons dance wildly!”

Jiang Han had barely emerged when Old Deng uttered this first sentence. He said, “The Evil Clans are descending everywhere. The Divine Clan has sent down four armies, the Celestial Court has sent down three, and the Land of Eternal Night has also sent down three. Information from the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas is unclear, but I’ve heard that many places also have Evil Clans.”

“What!”

Jiang Han’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this. He asked in a deep voice, “What’s the situation now? Is it under control?”

“Don’t worry!”

Old Deng said, “The number of troops in each Evil Clan army that has descended isn’t large, at most ten thousand. Only a few Great Evil Lords have appeared, so the situation is temporarily under control.”

Hearing this, Jiang Han felt somewhat relieved. He turned his gaze to the north and frowned, saying, “Did Ye Wanqiu return because she knew the Evil Clans were descending, so she went back to help?”

“Probably!”

Old Deng nodded, then recounted all the information he had gathered, explaining everything that had happened recently.

Finally, he said, “The Heavenly Demon sent a message, telling you not to worry about the Evil Clan matter. There aren’t many Evil Clans descending right now, and the Celestial Court can suppress them. He said that your help wouldn’t make much of a difference, and that you should seize the time to cultivate!”

Jiang Han’s expression was somewhat unsightly. With such a major event occurring, he naturally wanted to return and see what was happening as soon as possible.

Furthermore, with three Evil Clan armies appearing in the Land of Eternal Night and Ye Wanqiu going back to help, Jiang Han was somewhat worried.

However, after careful consideration, it seemed that his return wouldn’t make much of a difference. All the forces could easily suppress and eliminate the Evil Clan soldiers. Even if he went back, he couldn’t do much against the Great Evil Lords; it would be difficult for him to kill them on his own.

It was just that with the world outside in such chaos, how could he calm his mind and cultivate here?

“There shouldn’t be any major problems at home!”

Jiang Han thought for a moment, feeling somewhat relieved. With the Azure Emperor and Jiang Henshui Fortress, the Jiang family members would definitely be properly settled.

“With the Eternal Night Emperor in the Land of Eternal Night, the problem shouldn’t be too big, right?”

Jiang Han then thought again that the Eternal Night Emperor’s battle power was even greater than the Azure Emperor’s, and there were many Heavenly Emperors in the Land of Eternal Night. With only two Great Evil Lords, they should be able to suppress them easily, right?

If that was the case, then he had nothing to worry about.

However, Jiang Han still felt very uneasy. The Evil Clans were too strong, and with them descending all over the world, he had a feeling of impending doom.

“How did these Evil Clans descend?”

Jiang Han thought of the key question. Weren’t the Evil Clans in the Lesser Thousand Worlds? They could only descend through special passages, which should only allow them to descend in one place. Why were there Evil Clans all over the world? And the key was that there weren’t many of them.

Jiang Han inquired with Old Deng, who naturally didn’t know. He said, “The Divine Clan and the Celestial Court are both investigating, but they haven’t found the reason. No one knows how the Evil Clans are descending. It just feels like they suddenly appeared, which is very strange.”

“No!”

After thinking about it, Jiang Han still felt uneasy. It wouldn’t take him too long to go back for a trip. Although he really wanted to cultivate the eighth transformation to completion in one go, he wasn’t in a hurry for these one or two months.

“Let’s go!”

Jiang Han acted decisively, taking Old Deng and the others into his inner world and directly using Star Flash to traverse the void.

To save time, he arrived at the Divine Clan’s realm, revealed his identity, and then teleported all the way to the Divine-Demon Battlefield. From there, he returned to the Celestial Court and continued to teleport back.

In just seven days, he returned to the Celestial Immortal Court.

He had already learned on the way that all the Jiang family members were in the Eastern Palace. He returned to the Eastern Palace, and Yan Qin, Si Li, and Yinghuo all felt much more at ease when they saw Jiang Han’s return.

The crowd didn’t have much information. Jiang Han chatted with them for a while and learned that the Heavenly Demon was in the Celestial Immortal Court, so he hurried to see him.

The Celestial Immortal Court had a stronghold of the Dark Spy Division. The Heavenly Demon had been in this stronghold for some time, mobilizing the intelligence personnel of the Dark Spy Division to investigate the news. The Heavenly Demon’s information was the most comprehensive.

“Young Master!”

Jiang Han had already received the news on the way, so the Heavenly Demon wasn’t surprised by Jiang Han’s arrival.

Jiang Han didn’t waste any words and went straight to the point, asking, “All the information, give me an overview!”

“Alright!”

The Heavenly Demon led Jiang Han to a huge map, pointing to the east of the Divine Clan and saying, “The Evil Clans first descended here, with ten thousand troops and a Great Evil Lord. The second time they descended in the south of the Divine Clan… Three days ago, another Evil Clan army descended on the Divine Clan’s side.”

“So far, it hasn’t been found out how the Evil Clans are descending. Only two Great Evil Lords have been killed, and one Great Evil Lord even escaped with his remnant soul. The Great Evil Lords’ escape techniques are extremely perverted, and they can even pierce through realm barriers, so they have escaped many times.”

“However, because the number of Evil Clan troops is relatively small, and the number of Evil Clan experts is also not large, the overall situation is controllable. As long as the Evil Clans don’t descend on a large scale, it will be very difficult to destroy any force.”

“The top priority now is to figure out how the Evil Clans are descending. We, the Divine Clan, and the Land of Eternal Night are all searching the world, but so far we haven’t found out the Evil Clans’ method of descent.”

“Only by understanding how the Evil Clans are descending can we continue to prevent the Evil Clans from continuing to descend and prevent the calamity from descending!”

The Heavenly Demon said a lot, and after listening, Jiang Han had a clear understanding of the situation.

He pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze towards the Qintian Palace and asked, “Didn’t the Heavenly Mystery Daoist Venerable divine anything?”

“No!”

The Heavenly Demon shook his head and said, “The Jade Emperor summoned him once, but he said he didn’t divine anything and hasn’t come out since. Or… you could go ask?”

In the Heavenly Demon’s view, Jiang Han’s influence was even greater than the Jade Emperor’s. The last time Jiang Han went to visit, the Heavenly Mystery Daoist Venerable made an exception to see Jiang Han.

He even said that Jiang Han was a person with great luck, and his luck was among the top three in the Celestial Court. Perhaps if Jiang Han went to visit this time, the Heavenly Mystery Daoist Venerable would reveal something?

“Me?”

Jiang Han frowned. The Jade Emperor had already summoned the Heavenly Mystery Daoist Venerable. If the Heavenly Mystery Daoist Venerable had divined anything, he would have said so. So, he probably hadn’t divined anything.

Seeing Jiang Han hesitate, the Heavenly Demon urged, “Young Master, finding out how the Evil Clans are descending is a matter of life and death for billions of living beings in the entire Greater Thousand World, and a matter of life and death for billions of humans. Go pay a visit. If the Daoist Venerable really hasn’t divined anything, you’ll at most make a wasted trip.”

“Alright!”

After thinking about it, Jiang Han left the manor and walked upwards, soon arriving at the Qintian Palace.

Yellow Qi Daoist Venerable received him. Jiang Han proposed to visit the Heavenly Mystery Daoist Venerable. The latter went up to the octagonal building, and after a while, he actually brought Jiang Han up. The Heavenly Mystery Daoist Venerable was willing to receive Jiang Han.

“Greetings, Daoist Venerable!”

The Heavenly Mystery Daoist Venerable was still the same as before, drunk and disheveled, like a mad Daoist.

Yellow Qi Daoist Venerable went down. After Jiang Han saluted the Heavenly Mystery Daoist Venerable, the latter waved his hand and said, “I know what you want to ask. This matter… I haven’t divined anything. A powerful expert has obscured the heavenly secrets, so I can’t divine anything.”

Jiang Han’s eyes flashed, and he turned his gaze to the north. His expression turned cold, “Did the Buddha obscure the heavenly secrets?”

Jiang Han remembered very clearly that the Heavenly Mystery Daoist Venerable had once said that the Buddha was also an expert in this area, capable of severing the heavenly secrets.

Besides the Buddha, who else could obscure the heavenly secrets, making it impossible for the Heavenly Mystery Daoist Venerable to divine anything?

“I don’t know, I didn’t say anything!”

The Heavenly Mystery Daoist Venerable waved his hand and said, “If you have doubts in your heart, then take a closer look and investigate more. Rather than relying on me for everything, it’s better to go find it yourself!”

Jiang Han frowned and stared at the Heavenly Mystery Daoist Venerable for a while. He bowed and said, “I know what to do. Thank you, Daoist Venerable. I’ll take my leave!”

After Jiang Han left, the Heavenly Mystery Daoist Venerable suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. He fell to the ground, looking up at the sky, a hint of mockery on his lips.

He murmured, “Are all living beings like ants? Are all living beings like chess pieces? Have you ever thought about what you would do when one day, an ant becomes enraged and overturns the chessboard?”
