Wu Shattered Star River

Jiang Han went out again, instructing the scouts nearby to send a message to Chenxi, suggesting they contact the Qingyu Clan and discuss potential terms on her behalf, to see what kind of treatment the Qingyu Clan could offer.

After sending the message, Jiang Han returned and continued to stabilize the space.

Chenxi sent her eldest son secretly to Qingwang City to contact and negotiate with the Qingyu Clan.

She sent her eldest son there as a gesture of goodwill towards the Qingyu Clan, hoping to leave a way out.

In case Qing Ning rose to power and the Qingyu Clan swept through the Southern Region, returning to its peak, her clan wouldn't be purged and might even gain some benefits.

Upon receiving the news, Qing Xuefeng took it seriously and immediately gathered the clan's experts, including two Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators and Qing Ning.

"Big brother wants to join our Qingyu Clan?"

Qing Ning was already fifteen years old and had begun to blossom, transforming from a little loli into a young beauty.

Upon hearing this, joy appeared on her face as she looked at Qing Xuefeng and said, "Royal Grandfather, this is a great thing! Big brother is very powerful. Quickly issue an edict to bring him to Qingwang City and grant him the title of Prince."

"…"

Qing Xuefeng was speechless. Was the title of Prince something that could be bestowed on just anyone? Even if Jiang Han only wanted to be a guest elder, let alone fully joining the Qingyu Clan, he couldn't be given the title of Prince.

However, Qing Ning was now the Qingyu Clan's treasure, so Qing Xuefeng smiled and said, "Ning'er, don't be anxious. Sit乖乖 and let us discuss it first."

Qing Xuefeng turned his gaze to the group of Sacred Sovereigns in the hall and asked, "What are your thoughts?"

"Your Majesty!"

A Sacred Sovereign stepped forward and said, "I think it's possible. Jiang Han's combat power is very strong, almost invincible among Sacred Sovereigns, and he also possesses many strange divine abilities that even Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators can't handle."

"Moreover, Ye Wanqiu is a Dao Ancestor Realm cultivator. The key is that they were expelled from the Eastern Region. They have no support in the Southern Region, so joining our clan is the best outcome for them."

A second Sacred Sovereign stepped forward and said, "That's right. Jiang Han, Ye Wanqiu, and the seven major powers should have no relationship, otherwise they would have gone to join them upon arriving in the Southern Region instead of going to the Eastern Ten States. Bringing these two powerful figures under our command will greatly enhance our clan's strength."

"I don't think it's appropriate."

A third Sacred Sovereign shook his head and said, "First of all, no one knows if Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu have joined one of the seven major powers in secret. What if they were sent as spies?"

"Secondly… even if they aren't spies, Jiang Han's personality is strange. He caused trouble in the Northern Region, making it restless, and later caused a great disturbance in the Eastern Region. He's too uncontrollable. If he comes to our Qingyu Clan and causes a ruckus, something big might happen."

A fourth Sacred Sovereign nodded and said, "I also think that recruiting Jiang Han feels like the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. It's easy for uncontrollable chaos to occur…"

One by one, the Sacred Sovereigns expressed their opinions, some supporting and some opposing, and the hall became a chaotic mess.

In the end, all the Sacred Sovereigns had expressed their views, with roughly a 60/40 split, with more supporting the recruitment of Jiang Han.

After all the Sacred Sovereigns had expressed their views, Qing Xuefeng turned his gaze to the two Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators and asked, "Seventh Ancestor, Xueyun, what are your opinions?"

The Seventh Ancestor was the Qingyu Clan's strongest combat power, a Dao Ancestor Realm sixth level cultivator. He hadn't revealed his identity to the outside world for many years, and the outside world thought he was already dead.

It was the existence of this old ancestor and the Qing Divine Tree that prevented the Qingyu Clan from being destroyed and allowed them to survive until today.

Qing Xueyun was the Dao Ancestor Realm cultivator who had escorted Qing Ning to Tianfu Mountain before. He said, "I have no opinion. I'll listen to the Seventh Ancestor and Your Majesty!"

A group of experts turned their gazes to the Seventh Ancestor, who was seated next to Qing Xuefeng. If he spoke, it would basically be a final decision, and Qing Xuefeng would not oppose his opinion.

The Seventh Ancestor's eyebrows were almost gone. He had lived for more than a million years. He pondered for a moment and said, "Yes!"

"Good!"

Qing Xuefeng no longer hesitated. He pointed to a powerful Sacred Sovereign and said, "Qingqi, go and talk to Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu. As long as the conditions aren't excessive, everything is negotiable."

"Everyone… our clan is actually at its most dangerous moment. Before Ning'er grows up, the seven major powers may try every means to kill Ning'er or destroy our clan."

"So now, anything that can enhance our clan's strength can be discussed, including the powerful figures under the seven major powers. As long as they are willing to defect, we can talk. Your attitude towards recruiting experts must be good and not negligent."

Qing Xuefeng set the tone. Chenxi guessed correctly, the Qingyu Clan was now at the moment when it most needed experts to join. As long as they weren't spies, they wanted any experts, even those with whom they had previously had grievances, they could put aside past grudges.

Preserving themselves and giving Qing Ning time to grow was the most important thing for the Qingyu Clan right now.

Qingqi represented the Qingyu Clan to talk to Chenxi's eldest son. Chenxi's eldest son didn't dare to make a decision and sent a message back to let Chenxi set the conditions.

Chenxi naturally didn't dare to make a decision, crushed the jade talisman, and notified Jiang Han.

Jiang Han went out and had the scouts inform them of his bottom line, and let Chenxi freely use the rest.

Jiang Han's bottom line was to only be a guest elder, free to come and go. The Qingyu Clan must not force them to do things they were unwilling to do, and they must be given sufficient cultivation resources.

Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu didn't regard the Southern Region as a place to permanently reside and develop. They still wanted to return to the Eastern Region, but they were temporarily working for the Qingyu Clan in exchange for some resources.

Chenxi received authorization and began to negotiate with the Qingyu Clan.

On top of Jiang Han's bottom line, Chenxi also made several requests, such as the annual provision of resources not being less than a certain amount, and striving for Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu to receive titles and benefits.

Qingqi reported the conditions proposed by Chenxi to Qing Xuefeng, who waved his hand without haggling and directly agreed.

Chenxi was a little dumbfounded after receiving the news. He thought he would need to haggle for several rounds, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly?

It seemed that the Qingyu Clan was indeed eager for talents. For the current Qingyu Clan, preserving themselves was the most important thing, and they didn't care about resources at all.

Chenxi passed the news to Jiang Han. After Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu discussed, they decided to go to Qingwang City in half a year.

The reason for going in half a year was because Ye Wanqiu felt that her combat power would increase slightly if she cultivated for another half a year. Even if something unexpected happened when they went to Qingwang City, their ability to protect themselves would be stronger.

The Qingyu Clan had no objections.

A few more days passed, and the Four Region Allied Forces began to attack.

The Four Region army moved out in a mighty manner, and at the same time, fiercely attacked the Middle Region's bases in the Heavenly Region. The Northern Region fought the most fiercely, with ten Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators directly suppressing the formation and pushing all the way forward.

Secondly, it was the Western Region. The Western Region's attack was also very fierce, while the Eastern Region and the Southern Region were more like cooperating in a feigned attack. The Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators didn't go to the front line and followed behind the army to suppress the formation.

The Four Region army attacked the Middle Region, and the entire Land of Bitter Winter became lively. Countless cultivators were waiting for battle reports to be sent back every day.

Since the Tianlin Clan unified the Middle Region, they had been suppressing the Four Regions. Over the past millions of years, countless cultivators from the Four Regions had died at the hands of the Middle Region cultivators.

So if the Allied Forces could break into the Middle Region this time, it would be great news for the people of the Four Regions.

Half a month later…

A message was sent back to the Southern Region, leaving all the people of the Southern Region dumbfounded.

The Heavenly Region bordering the Southern Region and the Middle Region saw the Middle Region army actually withdraw its troops completely after several battles, handing over the Heavenly Region.
