Wu Shattered Star River

Cang Huang retreated, directly back to the Central Region.

With Zhen Ji here, this battle was impossible to fight. Their Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators were down to eight, and any further attacks would only be suicidal.

Therefore, he could only retreat temporarily, report the information, and await the decision of the Central Region Great Emperor.

They couldn't continue the fight on their own. If they wanted to continue fighting the Southern Region, they could only send more experts.

Moreover, sending ordinary Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators wouldn't be very meaningful. They had to send several Dao Ancestor Realm level six cultivators, or have the Central Region Great Emperor or the Grand Elder come over.

Cang Huang was very clear that this possibility was very small.

Yao Ao wasn't just for show. If the Central Region Great Emperor dared to come, Yao Ao would definitely dare to lead the Northern Region experts to invade the Central Region.

As for the Grand Elder, it was even more impossible to move him, because once he left, the Ancestral Dragon Sea would definitely riot, and big problems could easily arise.

Therefore, Cang Huang knew that this battle was a complete defeat, and the Central Region Great Emperor would most likely cease all military actions. The Central Region had suffered too many casualties this time and needed to recuperate for a while and cultivate some Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators.

This battle quickly spread throughout the entire Frozen Wasteland.

The major regions were immediately in an uproar. The Southern Region was the weakest of the five major regions, but unexpectedly, it had won two major victories in a row, killing twenty-five Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators from the Central Region.

These were Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators, not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry. How many Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators were there in the entire Frozen Wasteland?

No more than four hundred.

Originally, the other three regions looked down on the Southern Region somewhat. During the last war, the Southern Region was the most cowardly, which made the experts of the other regions despise them. Especially the Northern Region, many experts openly scolded the Southern Region's experts as trash.

This time, the Southern Region had completely stood up. Such a glorious record made even Yao Ao praise them after hearing about it.

Jiang Han's name instantly resounded throughout the entire Frozen Wasteland. The higher-ups of each region were clear that Jiang Han played a key role in these two battles.

Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators were too difficult to kill. With Jiang Han's existence, such a glorious result could be achieved this time.

What was most talked about was that Jiang Han was less than a hundred years old, still a Saint Ruler, and also a body cultivator.

Many experts simply couldn't understand how Jiang Han did it, which violated their understanding of martial arts.

Although he was a Saint Ruler, in the minds of all the higher-ups in the Frozen Wasteland, Jiang Han was already a very powerful existence.

Many higher-ups in the Northern and Western Regions were discussing this, and they were all mocking White Jade City.

Back then, Xiong Guanshan forced Zhen Ji away, and now he forced Jiang Han away. White Jade City was truly a talent cultivation base, cultivating high-level talents and then sending them to other major regions.

Xiong Guanshan had been mocked the most during this period, and it was believed that he had no tolerance for others and no broad mind. Many large and small families used Xiong Guanshan as a negative example.

When they were cultivating successors, they would mention that as the head of a family, one must have tolerance, otherwise, they would become Xiong Guanshan, pushing several top experts to other regions.

Xiong Guanshan was in a bad mood during this period. Although those rumors couldn't reach his ears, he was very clear in his heart. There would definitely be a lot of discussions during this period, even including the middle and high-level members of the Xiong family, including the clans under his command.

He didn't care about the rumors, as they couldn't do anything to him or shake his foundation.

What he was worried about was that Zhen Ji was now mixed up with Jiang Han. Zhen Ji had the combat power to compete with him, but Jiang Han could kill ordinary Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators on a large scale.

If Zhen Ji led a group of Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators from the Southern Region to attack, with the cooperation of City Lord Ding Lei Nishang and Ying Sha, they could easily subvert his rule.

He was very clear that the Third Floor Master and the others were all fence-sitters. Once Zhen Ji's side gained the advantage, the Third Floor Master and the others might defect. What would he use to stop them then?

Not to mention that there was also a Yao Ao in the north, who was Zhen Ji's lover.

Therefore, Xiong Guanshan was somewhat frightened during this period and even had some loss of appetite.

Several days later, the Central Region suddenly withdrew its troops, not only from the north but also from the east and west.

This made Xiong Guanshan even more nervous.

Obviously, the Central Region had no way to deal with the Southern Region, or rather, it wasn't allowed to act in the short term and would slowly look for opportunities later.

The Central Region showed a defensive posture, and the Southern Region's crisis was completely resolved.

Zhen Ji could lead the Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators from the Southern Region to attack at any time. If she secretly contacted the Northern Region, contacted City Lord Ding Lei Nishang and Ying Sha, and the three parties moved together, then they would be completely finished.

Not only was the Great Floor Master frightened, but the Floor Masters of his faction were also uneasy.

Xiong Guanshan gathered a group of Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators to discuss countermeasures. He didn't call the Third Floor Master's faction, for fear of leaking information.

He called the core Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators, the Fourth Floor Master, the Fifth Floor Master, the Seventh Floor Master, and the Tenth Floor Master.

The five great experts sat together, and the atmosphere was somewhat dull.

Xiong Guanshan glanced at the group of experts and said, "Let's discuss it. If Zhen Ji leads the Southern Region experts to attack, how should we respond?"

The Tenth Floor Master's eyes were full of murderous intent. He said, "Why don't we strike first? Let's kill Lei Nishang and Ying Sha first!"

"Uh…"

Xiong Guanshan and the group of Floor Masters were stunned. Was the Tenth Floor Master too ruthless? Zhen Ji hadn't confirmed her arrival yet, and they were already having internal strife?

Regardless of whether Lei Nishang and Ying Sha were killed in the end, as long as they dared to act, Zhen Ji would definitely kill her way back to the Eastern Region with her temper.

Xiong Guanshan waved his hand and said, "We can't move. If we act, Zhen Ji will definitely kill her way back, and Old Ding will definitely rebel, and Yao Ao will find an excuse…"

The Tenth Floor Master stroked his chin's beard and said, "Then we won't do anything and just wait for death?"

The Fourth Floor Master opened his mouth and said, "Of course, we have to do something. I think the first thing we need to do is have a good talk with Old Ding, move him with emotion, and reason with him."

"I still understand Old Ding. What he has in his heart is the entire Eastern Region. He doesn't want the Eastern Region to be plunged into misery. We can let him persuade Zhen Ji not to mess around!"

The Seventh Floor Master nodded and said, "That makes sense. I think we can also send envoys to the Northern and Western Regions to draw closer to them and bow our heads to Yao Ao. Yao Ao is very ambitious. He wants to destroy the Central Region with all his heart, so he doesn't want us to have internal strife."

The Fifth Floor Master said faintly at this moment, "Hmph, if Zhen Ji really dares to lead the Southern Region Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators to attack, we will let Yao Ao come forward. He is the leader of the alliance."

"If Yao Ao doesn't come forward, then don't blame us for defecting! At worst… we will defect to the Tianlin race and help the Tianlin race pacify the three regions. We will still have endless glory and wealth."

"Defect!"

The eyes of the group of Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators turned cold, and the Fourth Floor Master immediately retorted, "Old Tan, are you crazy? You're talking about defecting at every turn. How many clansmen have the Tianlin race killed? We have a blood feud between us."

The Fifth Floor Master smiled coldly and said, "If Zhen Ji kills her way in, we will all die, and our clans will be destroyed. If the clans are destroyed, we will have nothing. What are we talking about defecting or not defecting!"

"Stop talking!"

Xiong Guanshan waved his hand and said, "Old Tan, the matter of defecting must not be mentioned again, otherwise, if it gets out, Old Ding will be the first to come over and destroy you."

"I'll go talk to Old Ding first, and then send envoys to the Northern and Western Regions. If Zhen Ji really dares to kill her way over, we won't be able to stop her at all… Let's discuss it again."
