Wu Shattered Star River

As expected by the Heavenly Emperor!

The news spread quickly throughout the Eastern Region like snowflakes in the Land of Bitter Winter, causing an uproar.

It's not that Saint Sovereigns don't die in the Eastern Region; many major forces are constantly at war. For example, the Demon Moon Sect and the Peerless Gate in the Blood Moon Sea have been fighting fiercely for years. And around Sky Domain City, Saint Sovereigns die from time to time.

But the death of three at once, especially at the hands of a Heavenly Emperor, is a big deal.

This Heavenly Emperor had recently established great merit in the Sky Domain, and was also listed on the Dark Rankings. Most importantly, this Heavenly Emperor belongs to the Thunder Clan, while the Gloom Clan represents the Tenth Lord.

In the eyes of many forces, this is still a covert confrontation between the two Lords, or rather a contest between two factions, which naturally attracts extra attention.

The mobilization of so many experts and troops to the Barren Emperor Mountain Range during this period makes it difficult not to attract attention.

In just one day, countless scouts were teleported into Skypeak City. Gloom Prisoner and Demon Bloom also arrived, confirming that the three corpses were indeed Han Xingyun, the Sect Master of the Chess Watching Gate, and the Saint Sovereigns of East Universe Mountain.

The three corpses were collected and placed in the City Lord's Mansion. Gloom Prisoner immediately sent the news back and submitted a letter of confession.

He messed things up. Not only did he fail to kill Jiang Han, but he also implicated the deaths of three Saint Sovereigns. The Grand Elder of the Cold Moon Sect doesn't count, because his soul escaped.

He also requested the Clan King to send other elders to deal with the matter, willing to return to the clan to accept any punishment.

The Third Elder couldn't handle this matter. The deaths of the Saint Sovereigns of East Universe Mountain and the Sect Master of the Chess Watching Gate were one thing, but the death of Han Xingyun was more troublesome.

Because he wasn't a force under the Gloom Clan, nor a staunch ally, but an elder of a force under another Lord.

Han Xingyun was invited to help them, but now he was killed by Jiang Han. The Third Elder didn't have the authority to handle the aftermath, and he didn't dare to continue presiding over the matter.

Because he couldn't kill Jiang Han!

Continuing to lead this matter would not only fail to kill Jiang Han, but might also lead to the deaths of more Saint Sovereigns. By then, he would be utterly beyond redemption.

The Gloom Clan quickly responded. The Gloom Clan King didn't come, but sent his son, the Gloom Clan's Great Elder, Gloom Subdue.

Hearing that Gloom Subdue was coming, Gloom Prisoner and the others were relieved. No matter how things turned out later, it had nothing to do with them, and Gloom Subdue would bear the responsibility.

The name Dongfang Han suddenly became famous in the Eastern Region. Ordinary cultivators didn't know Jiang Han's true identity, and many major forces didn't expose this fact.

The higher-ups of the major forces knew it well, but the cultivators below were completely unaware, thinking he was a rising star.

...

Thunderclap Valley, Lei Xu hurried in. After a while, Lei Qu left Thunderclap Valley and went to Blue Capital City to find Lei Yun.

Lei Yun saw Lei Qu hurrying in, put down the brush in his hand, and said with a wry smile, "Why are you here?"

Lei Qu sat down with a straight face, waved away the maid serving tea, and said, "What do you think about Jiang Han's matter?"

"What can I think?"

Lei Yun shook his head and said, "The Clan King said we can't intervene casually. You know our clan's current situation!"

"That was before!"

Lei Qu said, "The current Jiang Han is different. He can kill Saint Sovereigns, and even three at once. How old is he? We must protect such a genius!"

"How to protect him?"

Lei Yun's expression darkened, and he said, "Do we directly intervene? Warn the Gloom Clan that if they dare to continue chasing Jiang Han, we will go to war with them?"

"Also..."

Lei Yun pondered for a moment and said, "News came from Skypeak City that two of the three Saint Sovereigns' skeletons had suffered heavy blows, suspected to be injured or killed by the Barren Emperor. The Sect Master of the Chess Watching Gate should have been burned to death by flames, and... Jiang Han is a body cultivator!"

Lei Yun wanted to tell Lei Qu that these three Saint Sovereigns might not have been killed by Jiang Han, and that Jiang Han might have just picked up the corpses!

"Don't worry about how he killed them!"

Lei Qu waved his hand and said, "He threw out the corpses, that's enough."

"He can remain unscathed under the siege of dozens of Saint Sovereigns, and he can throw out three corpses. That's his ability."

"Can you and I face the pursuit of dozens of Saint Sovereigns, not only survive, but also throw out three Saint Sovereign corpses?"

"Most importantly, he's so young!"

Lei Qu stood up and said, "He was very weak when he first came, how long has it been, this growth rate is too fast."

"He is in trouble now, if we offer help in his hour of need, he will be grateful to our Thunder Clan for the rest of his life. Once he survives this crisis, it will be meaningless for us to add the finishing touch."

"I know this logic!"

Lei Yun frowned and asked, "The question is, how do we help him? Do you want to directly confront the Gloom Clan? Do you want to go to war with the Gloom Clan?"

Lei Qu was silent, and after a moment he said, "Is the Clan King still in Thunder God Sea?"

Lei Yun glanced at Lei Qu and said, "The Clan King is in seclusion, you better not... Forget it, if you really want to go, go and see what the Clan King thinks."

"Alright!"

Lei Qu didn't waste any words, turned around and left the castle, and then teleported directly to Sky Domain City.

After arriving at Sky Domain City, he changed his appearance and teleported away, crossing the void all the way towards Thunder God Sea.

As the commander of the Thunder Army, Lei Qu's combat power is very strong. Moreover, he possesses many powerful techniques, and crossing the void is not a problem for him.

It only took him a few days to reach Thunder God Sea. He was born from thunder, and the thunder in Thunder God Sea couldn't harm him. He went all the way up Thunder God Mountain and walked outside the cave.

"Lei Qu greets the Clan King!"

Lei Qu bowed respectfully outside the purple thunder mountain cave. After a while, the thunder inside automatically separated, and a noblewoman walked out.

She stood in front of Lei Qu and asked, "What happened that you actually came here in person?"

"Clan King, it's like this..."

Lei Qu began to explain in detail what had happened recently. He didn't exaggerate, and explained the situation that the Thunder Clan had investigated in detail.

After speaking, he bowed and said, "Clan King, I believe that Jiang Han is worth our clan paying a certain price to protect. Of course... everything needs your decision!"

Lei Nishang was silent, looking at the distant thunder sea without speaking. Lei Qu didn't dare to interrupt and waited quietly on the side.

After a full dozens of breaths, Lei Nishang waved her hand and said, "I know, go back!"

"Uh..."

Lei Nishang didn't issue any orders, which made Lei Qu confused. Whether to help Jiang Han or not, at least give a word.

He hesitated for a moment and bowed again, "Clan King, I think..."

"What you think is useless!"

Lei Nishang waved her hand domineeringly and said, "Even if we want to save Jiang Han, it's not something you can do. I will handle this matter, don't interfere. Without my order, none of you are allowed to move."

"Okay!"

Lei Qu's eyes lit up. Judging from Lei Nishang's tone, would she take action or find a way?

He bowed again and then turned to fly down Thunder God Mountain.

Watching Lei Qu leave, Lei Nishang sighed slightly and said, "Jiang Han, Jiang Han, you really know how to cause trouble. Can't you be honest for a while? When Zhen Ji comes back, it won't be so difficult for me..."
