Wu Shattered Star River

On the way to the Southern Domain, Jiang Han told Ye Wanqiu about the situation there. He had spent the last two days reading all the information Lei Nishang had given him, and he had gained some understanding of the Southern Domain.

After explaining everything, Jiang Han said, "We only have two choices now. Either we go and seek refuge with the Divine Flame Clan, who should know our identities."

"The Divine Flame Clan's patriarch has a good relationship with City Lord Ding. With our combat power, we should be valued and treated well in the Divine Flame Clan. The other option is to go to the Eastern Ten States of the Southern Domain and carve out a territory for ourselves, becoming kings of the mountain. What do you think?"

While flying with Jiang Han, Ye Wanqiu sensed the surroundings. She pondered for a moment and said, "Let's not rush. Let's enter the Southern Domain and first check out the situation in the Eastern Ten States. Let's stay in the Southern Domain for a while before making a decision."

"Alright!"

Jiang Han nodded. The two quickly flew through the void. After flying for a day, they arrived at a city in the Southern Domain. After confirming that there were no strong individuals lurking nearby, they approached the city.

"Buzz~"

A team of soldiers teleported out from the city and surrounded them. Jiang Han stepped forward and said, "Please inform Commander Chenxi that friends from the Eastern Domain have come to visit."

Ye Wanqiu and Jiang Han exuded too powerful an aura, and the soldiers didn't dare to be careless. An Emperor-level soldier immediately began to transmit a message.

Before long, a Saint Ruler teleported out. Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu had disguised their appearances, but this Saint Ruler guessed their identities and cupped his fists at them, saying, "Are you Brother Jiang and Lady Ye?"

Jiang Han took out Lei Nishang's token and tossed it over, cupping his fists in return, "We'll have to trouble Brother Chenxi!"

Chenxi caught the token, smiled slightly, and said, "All are friends from across the world. Chen admires Lady Ye and Brother Jiang immensely. Come, follow me into the city!"

Chenxi waved his hand, and a six-pointed star array appeared in mid-air. He led Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu into the city.

Chenxi originally wanted to entertain Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu at his residence, but it wasn't safe enough there. Jiang Han suggested going to the Southern Domain.

Chenxi didn't try to persuade them to stay and personally sent them to the Southern Domain via teleportation.

Only after arriving at Fire Beacon City, a large city in the Southern Domain, did Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu feel completely relieved.

At least the strong individuals from the Eastern Domain wouldn't dare to sneak in here to hunt them down. They were temporarily safe.

Chenxi invited Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu to a restaurant to welcome them and wash away the dust. This time, Jiang Han didn't refuse and went to a large restaurant in the city.

Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu both revealed their true appearances. Chenxi was on good terms with the Heavenly Thunder Clan, so he was one of their own.

Chenxi was born in a small clan and currently served the Heavenly Ape Clan, one of the seven great clans. Chenxi subtly indicated that if Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu wanted to serve the Heavenly Ape Clan, he could recommend them, and the Heavenly Ape Clan would definitely give them good treatment.

The Heavenly Ape Clan ranked first among the seven great clans and occupied many large continents in the northern part of the Southern Domain. It was the most powerful clan in the Southern Domain in terms of overall strength.

Jiang Han婉拒了, saying that they had just arrived in the Southern Domain and wanted to keep a low profile and rest for a while before considering other matters.

Chenxi didn't try to persuade them further. After all, Ye Wanqiu was a Dao Ancestor, not someone he could recruit at his level.

He was very good at handling people and didn't spread the news of Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu's arrival to the Heavenly Ape Clan. He only befriended Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu in his personal capacity, maintaining a good sense of boundaries.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu got up to say goodbye. Chenxi handed over a token and said, "Lady Ye, Brother Jiang, if you have any matters in the Southern Domain in the future, feel free to look for me if I can be of assistance."

"As long as you come to Fire Beacon City, just find a soldier and give them the token, and they will pass the message to me. Of course... you can go to the Heavenly Domain to find me. I'm usually stationed there."

"Alright, I've made a friend in you, Brother Chenxi!"

Jiang Han put away the token and cupped his fists at Chenxi. Chenxi saw them off all the way out of the city.

Because they weren't familiar with the situation, Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu didn't use the city's teleportation array. After leaving the city, they flew south.

After flying for a distance, Ye Wanqiu took Jiang Han into her space and then disappeared into the void.

This was the territory of the Heavenly Ape Clan, and Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu didn't want to stay any longer. They headed towards the Eastern Ten States.

The entire Southern Domain nominally had one master, the Azure Feather Clan, but the Azure Feather Clan could only actually control five states.

The seven great clans had divided up several large continents, and as for the Eastern Ten States, the seven great clans had a tacit understanding not to occupy them.

One reason was that the terrain there was very complex, and another was that these ten states were very barren. The most important point was that there were many rebels here. Many races that had been suppressed by the Azure Feather Clan and had grudges against them had gathered here.

The Eastern Ten States were the main base for rebels. The seven great clans didn't occupy these ten states in order to raise bandits and restrain the Azure Feather Clan.

A Dao Ancestor traveling through the void wouldn't be discovered unless they had incredible luck and accidentally passed by a Dao Ancestor's secluded cultivation place. Even the most powerful scouts couldn't detect a Dao Ancestor.

Therefore, it only took Ye Wanqiu eight days to bring Jiang Han into the Eastern Ten States.

Ye Wanqiu didn't stop in the outer areas and went straight inside, entering a territory called Ning State.

The reason for coming to this state was that, according to the information Lei Nishang provided, there were no Dao Ancestors in this state. It was only divided up by dozens of small and medium-sized forces.

Ye Wanqiu and Jiang Han planned to find a place to settle down first, one to allow Ye Wanqiu to recover to her full strength, and the other to observe the situation in the Southern Domain.

After all, the information Lei Nishang provided was only collected by scouts, and it was all surface information. There was no information on the high-level figures of many great clans.

"Is this place alright?"

Ye Wanqiu circled around half of Ning State and locked onto a large mountain range.

There was a volcano in this mountain range, so the temperature wasn't particularly low. Many flowers, plants, and trees grew in the nearby mountains, and the scenery was good.

The resources in the Eastern Ten States were relatively scarce, so it didn't really matter where they went.

Ye Wanqiu didn't want to show her face. She released Jiang Han and said, "We're in Ning State. I think this place is good. How about we stay here for a while?"

"Sounds good!"

Jiang Han nodded and said, "You rest here for a while. I'll go take it down?"

Ye Wanqiu nodded and said, "Disguise yourself and don't reveal your identity!"

"Okay!"

A light flashed on Jiang Han's body, and he transformed into a middle-aged strong man. He also transformed into a different race. His body soared into the air and flew straight towards the mountain in front.

There was a small force in this mountain. Many formations had been built in the mountain, and there were dark sentries lurking in many places. Jiang Han casually scanned with his soul sense and found at least tens of thousands of cultivators.

"Swish swish swish!"

Jiang Han flew over, immediately alarming the cultivators in the mountain. Countless cultivators shot up.

The soaring blood energy on Jiang Han's body was released. He said murderously, "Get out of the way! Otherwise... die!"

Although Jiang Han wasn't a law cultivator and couldn't sense realms, this blood energy was like an ancient behemoth. How could ordinary cultivators dare to attack him? Countless cultivators immediately scattered to both sides.

"Swish!"

From the highest mountain inside, a Saint Ruler and four Heavenly Emperors shot out.

The Saint Ruler looked at Jiang Han from afar and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you break into my Azure Dragon Mountain? Do you know who I am?"

"Who you are is not important!"

Jiang Han flew straight over. He said, "I want this place. I'll give you three choices: get out on your own, submit to me, or... you can choose to die!"
