Wu Shattered Star River

Jiang Han wouldn't go looking for trouble or confront the Thousand Charms Sect for no reason.

However, he liked to make contingency plans. What if he clashed with the Thousand Charms Sect? What if he clashed with the Lynx Clan?

The Thousand Charms Sect was in the south, and the Heavenly Martial Sect was in the north. Their territories were far apart, and there shouldn't be any conflict under normal circumstances.

Jiang Han inquired about some other matters and arranged for a Saint Ruler to construct a teleportation array to Azure Dragon Mountain.

When he had nothing to do, he would stay with Ye Wanqiu on Azure Dragon Mountain, and he could come over if anything happened.

In addition, Jiang Han also sent two Saint Rulers to occupy the small force between the Heavenly Martial Sect and Azure Dragon Mountain, connecting this place with Azure Dragon Mountain.

The two Saint Rulers took the army over and returned in just one day. The small force had one Saint Ruler, who directly fled, handing over the sect.

The teleportation array was completed in two days.

Jiang Han was preparing to teleport back to Azure Dragon Mountain when several envoys from nearby forces arrived, paying respects to him, the new Sect Master of the Heavenly Martial Sect, and offering generous gifts.

Obviously...

Jiang Han sending two Saint Rulers to occupy a small force nearby had frightened the other nearby forces.

Taking the initiative to bow their heads and offer generous gifts was somewhat like paying tribute. Moreover, their envoys all stated that they would come to pay their respects once a year, meaning they would send a batch of resources every year.

Jiang Han had no intention of expanding his territory. The entire Ning Province was dirt poor. What was the point of snatching territory?

He met with the envoys of several forces and then had Wang Lin and the others receive them, while he returned to Azure Dragon Mountain.

Wang Yu followed him back. He had already positioned himself as the Chief Steward, with Jiang Han as the center of everything.

He didn't care about the specific affairs of the Heavenly Martial Sect, as long as he served Jiang Han well, he would have everything.

Ye Wanqiu was still in seclusion recovering, and Jiang Han didn't disturb her, continuing to expand the Other Shore Space.

Five days later, Wang Yu walked in and reported, "Sect Master, envoys from the Thousand Charms Sect, the Carefree Sect, and the Sword Inquiry Pavilion have arrived to congratulate you on becoming the new Sect Master of the Heavenly Martial Sect. Do you want to meet them?"

"Hmm?"

Jiang Han opened his eyes. Although he was a little annoyed, these three forces were, after all, the largest forces in Ning Province.

He had occupied the Heavenly Martial Sect without actively paying a visit, and these three forces had instead sent envoys over. In terms of etiquette, he should meet them.

"Let's go!"

Jiang Han got up and teleported over with Wang Yu. The teleportation array here was connected to a large manor in the backyard of the Heavenly Martial Sect, the residence of Old Ancestor Fei, which was now naturally only for Jiang Han to live in. The other Saint Rulers didn't dare to live there.

Leaving the manor and entering a large hall in the front yard, Jiang Han met the envoys of the three major forces.

The Thousand Charms Sect sent a Saint Ruler who looked ageless, but was a charming and beautiful woman. It was unknown what race she was, but she exuded a seductive aura from her bones.

The Carefree Sect and the Sword Inquiry Pavilion both sent Saint Rulers. When Jiang Han entered, the eyes of the three Saint Rulers lit up, and they all stood up and saluted, "Greetings, Sect Master Jiang!"

"Sit!"

Jiang Han sat on the main seat and waved his hand. Wang Lin quickly introduced them to Jiang Han, saying that these three were all elders of the three major sects, but not the top ones.

The three major forces sending three elders as envoys was considered giving Jiang Han a lot of face.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the three envoys flattered him for a while and expressed their willingness to continue to have good relations with the Heavenly Martial Sect.

Jiang Han didn't want to cause trouble. If others were polite to him, he would also be very polite. He also had Wang Lin arrange a banquet to entertain the three envoys.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Elder Yan Shuangfei of the Thousand Charms Sect suddenly asked curiously, "Sect Master Jiang is a human. I haven't heard of Sect Master Jiang's name among the humans in the Southern Region before. Could it be that Sect Master Jiang has been cultivating in seclusion all this time? Silent until now, but now a blockbuster?"

The question asked by Elder Yan Shuangfei was also of great interest to the elders of the Sword Inquiry Pavilion and the Carefree Sect. Their main purpose in coming this time was to find out Jiang Han's background.

After all, they were all in Ning Province. Jiang Han's sudden emergence and his ability to defeat the Sect Master of the Heavenly Martial Sect and Fei Xue, one against six, made them somewhat apprehensive.

"Yes!"

Jiang Han laughed and said, "I have been cultivating in seclusion all this time and like to be alone, so the outside world doesn't know much about me. This time, I have no choice but to offend my enemies and come to Ning Province to make a living. I hope the three major sects will take care of me."

"Haha!"

Yan Shuangfei laughed and said, "Sect Master Jiang is joking. Your battle prowess is so strong, how could you need our care? We'll burn incense if you don't bully us. We all belong to Ning Province and have no conflicts of interest, so we should help each other in the future."

"Yes, yes!"

The other two elders nodded in agreement, with smiles on their faces. Jiang Han's words just now had eased their minds a lot.

They were afraid that Jiang Han, this strong dragon crossing the river, would come to Ning Province and start conquering everywhere, wanting to unify Ning Province. If a great war broke out at that time, even if they won, the strength of the three major forces might be greatly damaged.

After sitting for a while longer, Jiang Han picked up his tea. The elders of the Sword Inquiry Pavilion and the Carefree Sect were very sensible and bid farewell and left.

Yan Shuangfei did not leave. After the two elders left, she took out an invitation and said, "Sect Master Jiang, it will be my Sect Master's 500,000th birthday in half a month. I represent the Thousand Charms Sect to invite you to attend the birthday banquet. As long as you come, my sect will definitely treat you with great hospitality, making you…taste the sweetness and linger on."

As she spoke, Yan Shuangfei showed a charming smile on her face, and her eyes were alluring and captivating.

"Oh?"

Jiang Han was a little surprised and turned his gaze to Wang Lin, who transmitted his voice, "It is indeed the birthday of the Sect Master of the Thousand Charms Sect in half a month. The previous Sect Master received an invitation."

Jiang Han nodded slightly, took the invitation, and said, "I am new here, and the internal affairs of the sect have not been sorted out yet. I'll see how it goes."

"If there is nothing major, I will definitely pay a visit to your sect master. Even if I am delayed by something, I will have Wang Lin bring generous gifts to congratulate your sect master on his birthday."

"Understood, understood!"

Yan Shuangfei nodded with a smile, and then she said, "Many experts from the Star Assembly will also be coming this time. If Sect Master Jiang goes, with Sect Master Jiang's battle prowess, you might be recruited into the Star Assembly."

"Alright, I'll take my leave first. I'll be waiting for Sect Master Jiang to come to Thousand Charms Island. I will definitely make Sect Master Jiang feel at home."

Yan Shuangfei bowed and bid farewell, and Jiang Han had Wang Lin send her off. When Wang Lin returned, he asked, "What is this Star Assembly?"

Changsun Rui replied, "Reporting to the Sect Master, the Star Assembly is a loose alliance organization. The leader is the overlord of Ling Province, Old Devil Black Mountain, a Dao Ancestor Realm Fifth Level! The only purpose of this organization is to destroy the Azure Feather Clan."

"Usually, this organization is very loose. The experts or sects inside develop on their own and do not interfere with each other. Joining the Star Assembly is equivalent to joining the anti-Azure Feather Clan alliance."

"It is said that there will be many benefits. At the very least, when the sect is destroyed, it can ask the Star Assembly for help, and allies may come to rescue you…"

"I see!"

Jiang Han nodded secretly. The information Lei Nishang gave him said that there were many rebels in the ten eastern states of the Southern Region, who were very hostile to the Azure Feather Clan. It seems to be true.

"Perhaps…I can join this Star Assembly?"

Jiang Han was a little tempted. He didn't care about alliances of offense and defense.

What he cared about was—the Azure Feather Clan's Void Realm Refining Secret Technique. Joining the Star Assembly might greatly increase his chances of getting this secret technique?
