Wu Shattered Star River

The five Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators had been captured alive, but the Eastern Region remained completely unaware.

A little over a day later, dozens of ice ships pierced through the sky, filled with soldiers and powerful cultivators, a vast, dark mass.

Once the ice ships arrived, countless soldiers immediately flew down, encircling the abyss around the shattered land.

The remaining warships halted, with only one slowly flying towards the sky above the shattered land.

There were not many cultivators on this warship, only seven: a powerful figure in a black-gold robe, followed by six Saint Sovereigns.

The black-gold robed cultivator scanned the surroundings, a look of surprise on his face. He said in a deep voice, "There are traces of battle nearby? Did Lao Leng and the others fight Jiang Han on the periphery?"

The six Saint Sovereigns also noticed it. Four of them flew off, circling the area, before one returned to report, "Reporting, Tenth Floor Master, it doesn't feel like Leng Saint Sovereign and Jiang Han fought. It's more like... traces of a Dao Ancestor Realm battle."

"Hmm?"

The Tenth Floor Master shot into the air, examining the area. His expression turned somewhat grim, and the Saint Sovereigns gathered around him.

The Saint Sovereigns couldn't discern much, but the Tenth Floor Master could see a great deal. He landed beside a massive chasm, sensed it for a moment, and said, "Such powerful destructive force. This could only be released by a cultivator at the fifth level of the Dao Ancestor Realm or higher. Lao Leng and the others... may have met with misfortune!"

"What?"

The expressions of the Saint Sovereigns drastically changed. One pointed at the three Heavenly Fate Race members and said, "Quickly track Leng Saint Sovereign and the others to see if they are beneath the shattered land."

The three Heavenly Fate Race members immediately began tracking. Other Saint Sovereigns began setting up a communication array. After a short half-hour, one of the Heavenly Fate Race members opened his eyes and said, "Reporting, Tenth Floor Master and esteemed sirs, Leng Saint Sovereign and the others are not nearby. They are very far away... It feels like they are trapped inside a spatial artifact!"

The second Heavenly Fate Race member opened his eyes and nodded, "Yes, the five Saint Sovereigns are together. They feel very weak and should all be severely injured. It's very likely... they have been captured alive!"

The third Heavenly Fate Race member said, "My judgment is the same. There is a high probability that they have been captured alive!"

"Shua, shua, shua!"

The faces of the Saint Sovereigns changed drastically, but the Tenth Floor Master's expression didn't fluctuate much. Judging from the traces of battle, the attacking cultivator was very strong, so it was normal for the Cold Moon Sect Master and the others to be defeated.

"Who could it be?"

The Tenth Floor Master muttered to himself. His first suspicion fell on Lei Ni裳, because Lei Ni裳 was at the fifth level of the Dao Ancestor Realm.

However, he quickly ruled it out, because there was no trace of lightning nearby. The flowers, plants, and trees hadn't been damaged by lightning. If Lei Ni裳 had attacked, she couldn't have left no trace.

"Ding Pifu? It doesn't seem like him either!"

The Tenth Floor Master's eyes flickered. City Lord Ding didn't cultivate the Supreme Law of Destruction, and they were constantly monitoring City Lord Ding's movements. He had been in Heavenly Domain City and hadn't left.

"Shadow Kill?"

The Tenth Floor Master shook his head again. Although Shadow Kill was only at the fourth level of the Dao Ancestor Realm, he had the strength to capture Sect Master Leng and the others alive, but the Tenth Floor Master didn't think it was Shadow Kill who had attacked.

He had fought alongside Shadow Kill many times and was quite familiar with him; the aura didn't match.

The Tenth Floor Master was a little confused for a moment. Just then, the communication array was successfully built. The Tenth Floor Master said, "Immediately send a message back to White Jade Capital! Also... seal the news. Anyone who dares to spread it will have their nine generations exterminated!"

The capture of five Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators was no small matter, several times more serious than Jiang Han capturing the members of the three major races.

Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators were the strongest cultivators in any region, let alone five of them. How many Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators were there in the entire Eastern Region?

If these five Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators were killed, the overall strength of the Eastern Region would be weakened, so the Tenth Floor Master had to take it seriously.

A Saint Sovereign immediately sent a message. The Tenth Floor Master pointed to the three Heavenly Fate Race members and said, "You two continue to track to see if you can track the exact location of Lao Leng and the others. The other one, track Jiang Han to see if he is still beneath the shattered land."

"Alright!"

The three Heavenly Fate Race members continued tracking. After another half-hour, they finished tracking. One of the Heavenly Fate Race members said, "Leng Saint Sovereign and the others are moving. The strong cultivator who captured them alive is constantly traversing the void. They are moving north, and should currently be in the south-central region."

The other Heavenly Fate Race member said, "Jiang Han is in the shattered land, in an area tens of thousands of feet deep."

"You wait here, I will go down and investigate!"

The Tenth Floor Master grabbed a Heavenly Fate Race member and flashed towards the shattered land, quickly disappearing into the rolling black mist.

Three hours later, the Tenth Floor Master came up, but the Heavenly Fate Race member didn't come up with him.

Several Saint Sovereigns surrounded him, and one asked, "What's the situation? Tenth Floor Master!"

The Tenth Floor Master shook his head and said, "I can't find him. He's hiding in a spatial fragment. The space below is too easily shattered, making it troublesome to force him out. Let's ignore him for now. Is there any news from White Jade City?"

"Yes!"

A Saint Sovereign reported, "Third Floor Master, Fourth Floor Master, and Seventh Floor Master have all emerged and are teleporting here."

The dispatch of the three Floor Masters shows how seriously White Jade Capital takes this matter!

Five Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators, not five Saint Sovereigns. Three of the Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators were also White Jade Capital's offerings. If these five Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators were killed, the Eastern Region would suffer a great loss, and the entire Eastern Region would be turbulent.

The Tenth Floor Master nodded slightly. He didn't say anything more and flew onto the ice ship to wait.

If the three Floor Masters teleported here, it wouldn't take long, at most half a day.

As expected!

Half a day later, the space on the ice ship fluctuated, and then three figures materialized, precisely Third Floor Master, Fourth Floor Master, and Seventh Floor Master.

The three Floor Masters inquired about the situation, personally investigated the battlefield, and then returned to the ice ship's cabin.

"Not a strong cultivator from our Eastern Region!"

As soon as he entered, Third Floor Master said with certainty, "There is no strong cultivator in our Eastern Region who can capture all five of them alive so quickly and also cultivates the Supreme Law of Destruction!"

Fourth Floor Master nodded slightly, then murmured, "If not from the Eastern Region, then it can only be from the Northern Region, Southern Region, or Central Region, but... how did this strong cultivator sneak into the Eastern Region?"

Seventh Floor Master's eyes flashed with a cold light. He said, "I remember a strong cultivator, a sixth-level Dao Ancestor Realm, who also cultivates the Supreme Law of Destruction, the Chief Manager of the Northern Region!"

"Yao Ning?"

Third Floor Master and Fourth Floor Master exchanged glances, their eyes filled with surprise.

How could Yao Ning secretly sneak into the Eastern Region, and how could he attack the Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators of the Eastern Region?

"Shua!"

Just then, the communication array outside suddenly lit up. After receiving the message, a Saint Sovereign immediately flew up with a look of panic.

He entered the cabin and reported, "Reporting, esteemed Floor Masters, news has just come from White Jade City that White Xiao Sect has been attacked, and their Sect Master is suspected of being captured alive by a mysterious strong cultivator..."

"How audacious!"

Fourth Floor Master slammed the table and roared, "Does he really think our Eastern Region is a pushover? No matter who it is, once they come, they can forget about leaving. Let's go, we'll go kill him!"
