Wu Shattered Star River

To save Yao Ao, two steps are necessary. First, Cang Ri Tian and the others must be lured away, at least Cang Xun Ni and Cang Huang.

Secondly, a way must be found to awaken Yao Ao; otherwise, there's no way to take the blood cocoon into a spatial artifact.

Of course!

There's another way: negotiate with Cang Ri Tian, using the souls of Tong Shan and the three elders to exchange for Yao Ao.

With no battles nearby, the three powerful figures discussed the situation with Jiang Han, sharing the details.

After half an hour of discussion, they finally decided to join forces to attack Tianlin Mountain to see if Cang Ri Tian would come to support them or send Cang Huang and Cang Xun Ni.

Maple Blossom had placed scouts near Yao Ao to monitor the situation. If Cang Xun Ni and Cang Huang left, Maple Blossom would be able to detect it.

Yao Ao's blood cocoon can withstand two to three months, so they still have time to attack Tianlin Mountain first. They'll see if Cang Ri Tian comes to the rescue, and if not, they'll take the next step and all go to Yao Ao's side.

"Let's go!"

The three powerful figures weren't ones to dawdle. They all flew towards Tianlin Mountain, while Jiang Han controlled all the demonic creatures to fly towards Tianlin Mountain as well.

The three powerful figures spread out, positioned to the left, right, and front of Jiang Han. Their perception was stronger than Jiang Han's, so they could sense any sudden attacks from powerful enemies.

After flying for over an hour, they had reached the territory of the Tianlin race, encountering many fleeing members of various races along the way.

Ye Tianfan, Xiong Guanshan, and Zhen Ji didn't engage in slaughter. Jiang Han didn't bother to massacre these ordinary cultivators, controlling the demonic army to fly straight towards Tianlin Mountain.

…

"What?"

Cang Xun Ni had already received the news, and his expression immediately turned ugly.

The Third Elder's combat power wasn't actually considered top-tier among Dao Ancestor Realm level six experts, but he was ranked third among all the elders because of his unique status.

He was Cang Ri Tian's uncle, his direct uncle!

Upon learning that the Third Elder and the others had been killed and their souls captured, Cang Xun Ni didn't even know how to report it to Cang Ri Tian.

Seeing Cang Xun Ni's expression, Cang Ri Tian frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Cang Xun Ni said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, news has arrived from Dongfeng City that Ye Tianfan, Zhen Ji, and Xiong Guanshan went there and, together with Jiang Han, killed the Third Elder and the others. Many of their souls were captured by Ye Tianfan, including… the Third Elder!"

"What?"

Cang Ri Tian's eyes widened, and a滔天of rage instantly emanated from his body. He gritted his teeth and said, "Good, good, good!"

"Your Majesty!"

Cang Xun Ni added, "Now, Jiang Han is leading the demonic creatures, along with Ye Tianfan and the other two, towards Tianlin Mountain. They haven't slaughtered any of our people along the way. It's estimated… they'll arrive at Tianlin Mountain in three days. How should we respond?"

Cang Ri Tian fell into deep thought.

If they continued to stay here, Tianlin Mountain would definitely be lost!

Tianlin Mountain was their race's sacred ground, the place where their race was nurtured, and it contained many treasures that could accelerate the Tianlin race's cultivation speed.

If it were destroyed, it would be a huge loss for the Tianlin race, one that would hurt them to the bone.

In addition, there were Tong Shan and his uncle's souls, which made him feel extremely conflicted!

The most important point…

After bombarding it for so long, there were no signs of Yao Ao's blood cocoon breaking open. It was estimated that it wouldn't break open for at least two to three months.

That much time would be enough for Ye Tianfan and the others to break through Tianlin Mountain's protective formation, destroy Tianlin Mountain, slaughter the Tianlin race inside, and then come to this side.

If Ye Tianfan, Zhen Ji, and Xiong Guanshan came, along with Jiang Han leading a large group of demonic creatures, and Maple Blossom and City Lord Ding, would there be any unexpected changes?

If Yao Ao were rescued by them, it would be a great loss, a complete waste of effort!

The problem is…

Yao Ao is currently severely injured and in a deep sleep, making this a very good opportunity.

If he misses this opportunity, he doesn't know if he'll have another chance. As long as he kills Yao Ao, the overall situation will be set, and Ye Tianfan, Zhen Ji, Xiong Guanshan, and Jiang Han won't be able to cause much trouble.

Cang Ri Tian was extremely conflicted.

Cang Xun Ni and Cang Huang didn't speak, waiting for Cang Ri Tian's final decision.

After pondering for nearly half an hour, Cang Ri Tian said, "First, transfer as many of the Tianlin Mountain's people as possible. Transfer some to the Void Realm, and those who can't be transferred should leave the mountain and scatter to hide."

"Second, send a message to those Dao Ancestor Realm experts besieging Ding Pifu to gather together and wait for orders near Tianlin Mountain."

"Third, mobilize a large number of scouts. I want to control the movements of all the experts and report them in a timely manner!"

"Fourth, order the remaining Dao Ancestor Realm experts in the Central Region to come here and gather near Tianlin Mountain to await orders. Anyone who dares not to come will be killed without exception!"

Cang Xun Ni and Cang Huang exchanged glances, somewhat confused by the meaning of Cang Ri Tian's orders.

If he wanted to manage Tianlin Mountain, he would have transferred all the people out. If he didn't care, why would he mobilize so many Dao Ancestor Realm experts to Tianlin Mountain?

Cang Xun Ni didn't ask any further questions and immediately flew away to find a nearby Saint Sovereign to pass down Cang Ri Tian's orders.

Nearby, a communication formation lit up quickly, and orders were sent out one after another.

After finishing the communication, Cang Xun Ni flew back and asked, "Your Majesty, what are you planning to do?"

"Don't be anxious!"

Cang Ri Tian said, "This place isn't too far from Tianlin Mountain. If we go at full speed, we'll be there in an hour. We can advance or retreat."

"We can go to support them, or we can come back to continue besieging Yao Ao. They're just trying to lure us away, aren't they? We can use their plan against them and defeat them one by one."

"Uh…"

Cang Xun Ni and Cang Huang exchanged glances, still not fully understanding Cang Ri Tian's intentions.

Cang Ri Tian didn't explain further. He said, "First, send out a large number of scouts to monitor the surrounding area. We'll respond flexibly. As long as there's a suitable opportunity, even if we don't kill Yao Ao this time, killing Ye Tianfan, Xiong Guanshan, Zhen Ji, and Jiang Han will also be acceptable. With just Yao Ao alone, they can't cause much trouble!"

"Understood!"

Cang Xun Ni and Cang Huang nodded. Cang Huang thought for a moment, still feeling uneasy, and flew away again to start sending messages, mobilizing more scouts to monitor the surrounding area.

This place wasn't far from Tianlin Mountain, and they could go there at any time. Not to mention the three of them going, even if Cang Ri Tian went alone, who could stop him?

Therefore, there would be a lot of room for maneuver here. There was no need to rush. Anyway, after transferring the people of Tianlin Mountain out, even if Jiang Han and the others broke through Tianlin Mountain's formation, the losses wouldn't be that great.

"It's all because of Jiang Han!"

Cang Ri Tian's eyes revealed hatred. The situation was originally very good, and they had completely taken the initiative, already laying the foundation for victory.

But he never expected that Jiang Han would enter the world of demonic creatures. Not only did he not die, but he also came out with a group of demonic creatures, breaking through the formation of the Ancestral Dragon Sea. That wasn't a big deal, but now he had killed so many of their Dao Ancestor Realm experts…

"Jiang Han, you wait!"

Cang Ri Tian muttered murderously, "When you fall into my hands, I will definitely suppress you under Tianlin Mountain for the rest of your life, to suffer endless torment for eternity!"
