Wu Shattered Star River

“Brother Qingqi, you're too kind!”

Jiang Han smiled and took out a spatial ring, saying, “Didn't I kill tens of millions of Ice Clan and Lynx Clan members some time ago?”

“There are tens of millions of spatial rings here, all containing some low-level resources that are useless to me. Take them and add them to the national treasury. I might need other resources in the future, and I won't be so polite next time.”

Qingqi still refused, saying, “King Jiang, really, there's no need. Although my Qingyu Clan isn't wealthy, we still have some resources. Moreover, King Jiang has done a great favor to my clan. If I report this to His Majesty, he will scold me to death!”

Jiang Han was resolute, saying, “Discuss it with His Majesty, this is my intention. Alright, it's just a small matter, don't keep pushing it back and forth!”

“Alright!”

Qingqi didn't continue after hearing this. These low-level resources were indeed useless to Jiang Han. He could just replenish them when Jiang Han needed them in the future.

Jiang Han took a pen and began to list items. This time, he wanted a lot, with various natural treasures adding up to six or seven hundred thousand.

Qingqi hesitated when he saw the list. He said, “King Jiang, I will allocate the resources you need as soon as possible. The quantity is a bit large, and the national treasury might not have enough. Can you give me a few days?”

“It's fine!”

Jiang Han nodded and said, “Just keep my return a secret. You can inform His Majesty and apologize for me. I won't be able to visit this time!”

“Understood!”

Qingqi left in a hurry with the list.

He returned less than an hour later, and he brought a man shrouded in a black robe.

As they walked in, Ye Wanqiu quickly stood up and bowed, saying, “Greetings, Your Majesty!”

“Your Majesty?”

Jiang Han was stunned. He glanced at the man shrouded in a black robe. The man took off his cloak, revealing his true face, which was Qing Xuefeng.

“Greetings, Your Majesty!”

Jiang Han quickly bowed. Qing Xuefeng strode forward, took Jiang Han's hand, and said with a smile, “Jiang Aiqing, you have made great contributions this time. I am very pleased and happy. You are a great benefactor of my clan!”

“I dare not!”

Jiang Han politely said, “Your Majesty, I should have visited you upon my return, but I was afraid of exposing my identity and causing unnecessary trouble, so I was rude. How could Your Majesty come to see me? I am very apprehensive!”

“I know!”

Qing Xuefeng said casually, “I heard of your return and was overjoyed. I couldn't wait to come and see you. There's no need to be so concerned about those formalities.”

As the clan king of the Qingyu Clan and the nominal Great Emperor of the Southern Region, Qing Xuefeng was very skilled in dealing with people, even though his fighting strength wasn't top-notch.

Although personally visiting Jiang Han seemed like an attempt to win him over, his eyes were sincere, and his words were earnest, which pleased Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu.

Qing Xuefeng didn't stay for too long, only chatting for a while. When he learned that Jiang Han would be leaving in a few days, he didn't say much, only instructing Qingqi to fulfill all of Jiang Han's requests.

He also told Jiang Han to protect himself outside and to prioritize his own safety at all times…

Jiang Han didn't ask Qing Xuefeng to test his Chaos Power, as he had too little Chaos Power in his Other Shore Space and didn't want to expose it for the time being.

The next few days were very quiet. Qing Xuefeng and Qingqi didn't reveal Jiang Han's whereabouts, so no strong cultivators came to disturb Jiang Han.

In the blink of an eye, five days had passed!

On this day, the Qingyu Clan suddenly received news that fifty Saint Sovereigns from the Star Cluster Association had broken out from Snow Province and raided a large city of the Qingyu Clan, killing all the cultivators in the city.

Qing Xuefeng was furious upon receiving the news. He immediately sent Qing Xueyun to mobilize hundreds of Saint Sovereigns to support them, vowing to leave these dozens of Saint Sovereigns behind.

Only half an hour after Qing Xueyun led the team away, in the main hall of a manor in a mountain range thousands of miles east of Qingwang City, a huge teleportation array lit up, followed by the appearance of twelve powerful figures shrouded in black robes.

“Greetings, twelve Saint Venerables!”

The owner of the manor, a spy of the Ice Clan, bowed respectfully. The Ice Queen, who had come in person, nodded slightly and asked, “Is everything arranged?”

“Reporting to the Queen, it's all arranged!”

The Saint Sovereign nodded and said, “Although Qingwang City is sealed off, this subordinate has bribed an Emperor-level cultivator of the Qingyu Clan. This subordinate can easily lead all the Saint Sovereigns into the city.”

“Good, lead the way!”

The twelve powerhouses concealed their auras and followed behind the Saint Sovereign, transforming into streams of light and flying towards a small city near Qingwang City.

After entering the city quietly, the Saint Sovereign led them towards the teleportation array. The twelve powerhouses split into two teams, appearing as subordinates of this Saint Sovereign.

An Emperor-level cultivator guarding this place had been bribed, and only pretended to check the Saint Sovereign's token before waving them through.

“Buzz~”

The teleportation array lit up. The Ice Queen and the others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with surging killing intent.

Their purpose in coming here today was to kill Qing Ning and cut off the future of the Qingyu Clan.

If the opportunity was right, they wouldn't mind killing the two Dao Ancestor Realms of the Qingyu Clan and that Qing God Tree, wiping out the Qingyu Clan. By then, they would all have a chance to rise to power and unify the entire Southern Region.

“Buzz~”

The teleportation speed was very fast. They appeared in the square of Qingwang City in a flash.

They looked at the familiar square, all feeling some emotion. Before the previous generation of the Qingyu Clan Great Emperor died in battle, they were all subjects of the Qingyu Clan, often coming here to pay homage.

Since the death of the Qingyu Clan Great Emperor, most of them had never been here again. This time, however, they were here to massacre.

Although they felt some emotion, they were all supreme powerhouses and reacted quickly. They all soared into the sky and flew towards the imperial city to the north.

As for the Saint Sovereign, he quickly retreated, needing to leave Qingwang City via a pre-arranged route and head to Snow Province.

“Buzz~”

Just as the dozen or so powerhouses ascended into the sky, the crooked-neck tree in the backyard of the palace immediately sensed them.

At this moment, the tree suddenly grew wildly, instantly becoming a hundred zhang tall, with a dazzling green light shining on its trunk.

Then, a huge light罩 appeared, covering the entire palace and many large courtyards near the palace, with most of the northern city covered by the green light罩.

“Swish swish swish!”

Countless Qingyu Clan powerhouses were alarmed. Seventh Ancestor and Qing Xuefeng soared into the sky and stood in mid-air.

When Qing Xuefeng saw the twelve men in black flying over, his eyes revealed coldness and anger. He shouted angrily, “Ice Charm, Kong Xuan, You Li, how dare you attack Qingwang City? Are you rebelling and cutting yourselves off from the Southern Region?”

The Ice Queen swept her gaze across the northern city, her eyes suddenly sweeping over Jiangye Manor.

Sensing Ye Wanqiu and Jiang Han inside, she sneered and said, “Your Majesty, please calm your anger. We have no intention of rebelling. We are only here to clear the Emperor's side. Jiang Han has wantonly slaughtered in the Southern Region, committing heinous crimes. If this son is not eliminated, there will be endless troubles.”

“Your Majesty has already decreed that this son and Ye Wanqiu be expelled, but they are still hiding in Qingwang City. We fear that they will be detrimental to Your Majesty, so we have come to protect you and eliminate the demons!”
