Wu Shattered Star River

Jiang Han had originally only planned to stay for a few days, collect a batch of resources, and leave.

But by chance, he encountered twelve Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators attacking Qingwang City, and successfully assisted Ye Wanqiu in killing three Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators and repelling the attacks of several major forces.

Now Jiang Han didn't need to leave, even if he wanted to, Qingxue Peak and Seventh Ancestor wouldn't allow it.

His presence in Qingwang City was now the greatest deterrent, even greater than Seventh Ancestor's.

Jiang Han was granted the title of Prince, and the Qingyu Clan also gifted him and Ye Wanqiu a large batch of resources, as well as several handwritten notes.

These notes were very miscellaneous, not left by a single expert, but by many experts, including insights on the cultivation of the Darkness Laws and the refinement of the Void Realm.

The insights on the Darkness Laws were easy to understand, as the Qingyu Clan had produced so many experts throughout history, some of whom had cultivated the Darkness Laws.

The insights on refining the Void Realm were more interesting.

Throughout the Qingyu Clan's history, many experts had attempted to refine the Void Realm, some even reaching the sixth step, almost succeeding, but unfortunately, they eventually fell, and no expert ever succeeded in refining it.

However, these experts left behind their refinement methods and insights for later generations of the clan to use as reference.

The Qingyu Clan giving these refinement insights to Jiang Han had a very clear meaning—Jiang Han was completely one of their own, the Qingyu Clan completely trusted him and had completely opened up to him, giving Jiang Han whatever he wanted, as long as Jiang Han was willing to stay in the Qingyu Clan forever.

The title of Prince, within the Qingyu Clan, apart from Seventh Ancestor and Qing Xueyun, even Qing Xuefeng's son and Qing Ning had not received it.

Of course, if Qing Ning continued to cultivate, as long as there was hope for her to break through to the Dao Ancestor Realm, the title of Prince would definitely be given to her.

In other words, according to the Qingyu Clan's rules, Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu's status was now only below the three Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators of the Qingyu Clan, and bestowing the title of Prince was also the Qingyu Clan's utmost trust and affirmation of Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu.

Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu didn't really care about these things.

Not to mention Prince, even if they gave Jiang Han the position of Emperor, he wouldn't be very interested.

Because he never intended to live in the Southern Region for long, he still wanted to return to the Eastern Region.

His and Ye Wanqiu's greatest wish was to kill their way back to the Eastern Region, firstly to avenge their grudges, and secondly because their clansmen were all in the Great Chiliocosm below the Eastern Region.

What reassured Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu slightly was that the Great Chiliocosm was very peaceful, and Lei Nishang had sent a message to Chenxi—the Great Building Master, Fourth Building Master, and the Xu Clan had not sent assassins to target Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu's clansmen and relatives.

Moreover, most of the clansmen had been taken to the Void Realm by the Myriad Sound Abbey Mistress to hide.

This relieved Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu of their worries.

Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu's battle exploits and contributions had been spread, and the entire Qingyu Clan knew clearly, and now the Qingyu Clan revered Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu as gods, with immense respect and gratitude.

Qing Ning came over every few days, being extremely affectionate with Jiang Han, which made Jiang Han very embarrassed…

Ye Wanqiu was a jealous person, she wouldn't say anything when Qing Ning came, and would even happily pull Qing Ning to talk.

But as soon as Qing Ning left, Ye Wanqiu would walk towards the bedroom, giving him an icy look.

Jiang Han could only obediently enter the bedroom, and then be squeezed dry…

Qing Xuefeng and Qing Xueyun had been very busy recently.

Because too many envoys from various clans had come to Qingwang City, all arriving secretly, Qing Xueyun or Qing Qi would represent Qing Xuefeng to secretly meet them first, and Qing Xuefeng would come forward to appease the important clan envoys.

The largest forces in the Southern Region were nine, besides the seven major forces, there were the Qingyu Clan and the Star Cluster Society.

These were just the top-level forces and clans, there were hundreds of mid-level forces and clans, many of these forces and clans had Saint Sovereigns, and they were an extremely powerful force.

Since these forces were willing to pledge allegiance or express their closeness, how could the Qingyu Clan refuse?

Uniting the majority and eliminating the minority of opposition is always the foundation of politics.

Unless your race is as powerful as the Tianlin Clan, relying on one clan to overpower countless races.

Moreover, even the Tianlin Clan in the Central Region is not lawless, they need to win over many large clans and give up enough benefits.

Half a month after the war, three mysterious envoys came to Qingwang City.

Elders from the Tianyuan Clan, the Shenyan Clan, and the Fa Clan!

Moreover, the identities of these three elders were not ordinary, although none of them were Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators, the Tianyuan Clan's envoy was the great-grandson of the Clan King, the most outstanding genius of the younger generation.

The Shenyan Clan's envoy was a princess, the Flower of Divine Flame. The Fa Clan's envoy was the son of the Crown Prince, all three were golden branches and jade leaves.

If it were in the past, these three golden branches and jade leaves would not have appeared in Qingwang City, what if they were detained or killed by the Qingyu Clan?

The arrival of these three golden branches and jade leaves represented the attitudes of the three clans.

The arrival of the three golden branches and jade leaves was under the banner of celebrating Qing Ning's sixteenth birthday—Qing Ning's birthday was just eight days away.

Their true purpose was naturally to express a certain attitude, indicating the three clans' willingness to re-pledge allegiance to the Qingyu Clan.

However…

The three clans did not send Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators, only three Saint Sovereigns came, the meaning was still very clear—the current Qingyu Clan was not yet worth their complete allegiance, they wanted to see certainty.

The certainty was that Qing Ning would break through to the Dao Ancestor Realm in a short period of time!

Eight days later, the Qingyu Clan held a grand banquet, the three golden branches and jade leaves were invited, as well as some large clans that had confirmed their allegiance. Many young masters and ladies of the Qingyu Clan attended, and Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu were invited.

Hearing that it was Qing Ning's birthday, Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu naturally attended, and the two also prepared two generous gifts, choosing two treasures.

When Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu arrived at the palace where the banquet was being held, it was already full of cultivators, and Qing Xueyun had also arrived.

Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu's positions were arranged very close to the front, Ye Wanqiu sat in the first seat on the left, Jiang Han sat in the second seat on the left. Qing Xueyun sat in the first seat on the right, Qing Ning sat in the second seat on the right, Qing Xuefeng had not yet arrived.

Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu's arrival attracted the attention of the entire audience.

Especially Jiang Han, although Ye Wanqiu was a Dao Ancestor Realm cultivator, she was not as noticeable as Jiang Han.

Although Ye Wanqiu was a Dao Ancestor Realm cultivator, she was only at the first level of the Dao Ancestor Realm, she only had one strange divine ability, which could trap low-level Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators in darkness for a breath or two, but it didn't really have much meaning.

Because these Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators could release defensive divine abilities, and Ye Wanqiu couldn't kill them.

Jiang Han was different, after Jiang Han released his spells, even Dao Ancestor Realm fifth level cultivators couldn't control their bodies and couldn't defend.

This was the key to the great victory in Qingwang City this time!

After Jiang Han walked in, Qing Ning and Qing Qi immediately greeted him, Qing Ning affectionately grabbed Jiang Han's sleeve and said, "Brother, Sister Wanqiu, thank you for coming to my birthday banquet!"

"Qing Ning, happy birthday!"

Jiang Han touched Qing Ning's little head, as if touching his own sister, seeing Qing Ning's beautiful face, the image of Jiang Li appeared in his mind.

Qing Ning had grown a lot, and had the beginnings of a beautiful woman.

However, Jiang Han had no romantic feelings for Qing Ning, he only felt like she was his own sister.

Ye Wanqiu took out two jade boxes and handed them to Qing Ning, also touching her head and saying, "Girl, grow up quickly, grow more and more beautiful, in the future you will be the number one beauty in the Land of Absolute Zero."

Qing Ning smiled sweetly, and said shyly, "Thank you, Sister! I would be satisfied if I had half the beauty of Sister. Sister Wanqiu, you have Brother by your side, you are the happiest person in the world."

Ye Wanqiu looked at Jiang Han with a smile, Jiang Han's heart trembled, and he thought to himself that it was bad.

It seems that the few drops that were not easily produced will not be kept tonight…
