Wu Shattered Star River

In Ghost Soul Mountain, a massacre had already begun.

The mountain's protective formation was activated, but Jiang Han captured a Heavenly Emperor and, using the Heavenly Transformation Art and the Emperor's identity, easily infiltrated Ghost Soul Mountain.

Once inside, the mountain was defenseless against Jiang Han. The Ghost Soul Race's Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators had all gone to Azure King City. With You Li already dead, who could stop Jiang Han?

Following the old routine, the Azure God Tree locked down the entire mountain, allowing Qing Ning to carry out the slaughter.

Qing Ning didn't want to kill, but Jiang Han and Seventh Ancestor forced her to do it.

Qing Ning was destined to become the Southern Domain's Empress. As an Empress, she had to be ruthless and decisive in crucial moments; she couldn't afford to be soft-hearted. Otherwise, she would not only harm the Azure Feather Race but also the entire Southern Domain.

The Ice Snow Race and the Ghost Soul Race were sworn enemies of the Azure Feather Race. Qing Xuefeng had already been killed by You Li and the Ice Snow Queen. If Qing Ning couldn't bring herself to kill such enemies, what could she do in the future?

Therefore, despite Qing Ning's pale face and pleading glances, Jiang Han and Seventh Ancestor remained resolute, forcing Qing Ning to kill.

The Ghost Soul Mountain had a larger Ghost Soul Race population, numbering several million.

Jiang Han instructed Qing Ning to unleash large-scale, group-attack techniques, slaughtering them in swathes.

The Ghost Soul Race frantically attacked Jiang Han, Ye Wanqiu, and Qing Ning, but they were too weak. Like moths drawn to a flame, they were annihilated by Jiang Han, Ye Wanqiu, and Seventh Ancestor with a casual strike.

Looking at the mountains of corpses before him, Jiang Han's expression remained unchanged, his heart as still as water.

The war between races was this cruel. It wasn't that the Ghost Soul Race and Ice Snow Race were wrong; from their racial perspective, they were not.

Every race wanted to become stronger, to obtain better living space, and to acquire more territory and benefits.

They were not wrong; the fault lay with the two races' leaders, who had chosen the wrong path and the wrong direction.

Thinking of this, Jiang Han couldn't help but transmit a message to Qing Ning: "Qing Ning, look closely at these dead Ghost Soul Race members, and remember one thing."

"As the king of a race, your every decision can affect hundreds of millions of people. Your mistakes can lead to the deaths of hundreds of millions. If you are not strong enough, your people will be slaughtered and enslaved like pigs and dogs."

Qing Ning nodded. Jiang Han transmitted again, "Speed up, or Ice Enchantress and the others might arrive."

"Okay!"

Qing Ning increased her attack power, condensing large hand palms that continuously slammed down, each strike killing thousands of Ghost Soul Race members.

Half an hour passed. The entire Ghost Soul Mountain was a shattered mess, not a single building remained intact. Most of the Ghost Soul Race here had been killed, with only a few hiding in corners, clinging to life.

"Almost done!"

Jiang Han and Seventh Ancestor exchanged a glance, not daring to stay any longer, fearing the Ice Snow Queen and the others might arrive.

Seventh Ancestor had the Azure God Tree retract its roots, and then Qing Ning released a powerful sword qi, cleaving Ghost Soul Mountain with a bottomless ravine.

"Go!"

Seventh Ancestor shouted, and everyone entered the Azure God Tree, which then soared into the sky towards the north.

"Whoosh!"

Barely more than an hour after they left, a dozen Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators arrived, Ice Enchantress and the others had arrived.

Seeing the corpses scattered across Ghost Soul Mountain, the Ghost Soul Race's Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators' eyes turned red. This time, the Ghost Soul Race had suffered a heavy loss.

The death of the race leader was not the main concern; the millions of race members who had died tragically on Ghost Soul Mountain, including many direct descendants, were.

This made them feel lost, wondering if going against the Azure Feather Race was right or wrong.

"They must be going to the Northern Heaven Domain to join forces with the Heavenly Ape Race, Divine Flame Race, Fai Race, and Tong Race Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators!"

Ice Enchantress's eyes flickered as she shouted, "We'll go to the Heaven Domain entrance as quickly as possible to intercept them there!"

"Go to the Heaven Domain entrance?"

Fourth Floor Master and Cold Moon Sect Master exchanged glances, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

The Northern Heaven Domain had more than a dozen Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators. Adding Seventh Ancestor, Ye Wanqiu, Jiang Han, and Qing Ning, their overall strength was stronger than theirs.

If they were attacked from both sides, they would be in danger.

Cold Moon Sect Master couldn't help but say, "Ice Queen, your Southern Domain has so many scouts. Can't you track their exact location?"

"Can't track them!"

Ice Enchantress shook her head. "The Azure God Tree is with them. With the Azure God Tree, even the Heavenly Fate Race can't track them. The Azure God Tree naturally possesses very powerful concealment abilities. Unless there's a Dao Ancestor Realm cultivator nearby, other cultivators can't sense it."

"Then what's the point of chasing!"

Demon Moon Sect Master snorted a few times. "We can't track them, but they might discover our movements. When we go to the north, we might be ambushed by more than a dozen Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators."

Ice Enchantress shook her head. "It's not that serious. They can't track our movements either, so there's no question of an ambush."

"Moreover, there are Heavenly Scale Race experts restraining them in the Northern Heaven Domain. The Heavenly Ape Race, Divine Flame Race, Fai Race, and Tong Race experts wouldn't dare to leave the Heaven Domain easily. It's not very dangerous for us."

Black Mountain Old Devil nodded. "That's right, Old Ape and the others wouldn't dare to act rashly. For them, the Southern Domain's interests outweigh everything. If they abandon the Heaven Domain, the Central Domain might conquer the Southern Domain, which they can't accept."

"Besides, Qing Xuefeng is dead. They might have their own ideas, wanting to become the King of the Southern Domain. At that time, they might not help Seventh Ancestor and Qing Ning, and might even stab them in the back."

"Yes!"

Lynx Race Leader said with certainty, "I understand Old Ape. Old Ape is ambitious. Now that Qing Xuefeng is dead, and Old Ape's battle strength is the strongest in the Southern Domain, he's likely to want to become the Southern Domain Emperor. Once he has this thought, he'll definitely try to kill Qing Ning, and might even do it himself."

Fourth Floor Master and the others exchanged glances, somewhat skeptical. They weren't particularly clear about the Southern Domain's situation, at least they didn't know what the various race leaders were thinking.

Fourth Floor Master felt like retreating. After all, the chances of killing Jiang Han seemed very slim. The Southern Domain was a place of trouble, and staying here for too long could lead to various changes.

The Eastern Domain had no intention of unifying the Southern Domain. They were only here to kill Jiang Han. Since they couldn't see any hope of killing him, there was no point in staying.

Seeing Fourth Floor Master and the others hesitating, Ice Enchantress thought for a moment and transmitted, "Brother Kou, come with us to the Heaven Domain entrance and try one last time. If we don't succeed this time, you can all retreat. Also... if you sense any danger, you can leave at any time, without worrying about us."

Ice Enchantress was actually somewhat uncertain, so she wanted to drag Fourth Floor Master and the others along. After all, there were five Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators on their side, which could help a lot at crucial moments.

Fourth Floor Master hesitated for a moment and transmitted, "Alright, we'll go there once. If the situation is not right, we will retreat directly!"

"Go!"

With a wave of her hand, Ice Enchantress led the group of experts to release their escape techniques and soar into the sky towards the north.
