Wu Shattered Star River

A notice quickly spread throughout the entire Eastern Region, causing an uproar! The notice was jointly issued by the Third Lord, Fourth Lord, Fifth Lord, Sixth Lord, Seventh Lord, Eighth Lord, Ninth Lord, Eleventh Lord, and Twelfth Lord.

The nine lords jointly signed the notice, supporting Jiang Han's ascension to the throne of the Eastern Region Emperor. The notice stated that Jiang Han would be crowned emperor in Baijing City in a month, and all Emperor-level figures in the Eastern Region must come to Baiyujing. If they didn't come, they must leave the Eastern Region within a month…

The notice didn't mention Xiong Guanshan and the Tenth Lord, but news quickly spread that Xiong Guanshan's physical body had been destroyed by Jiang Han, and the Tenth Lord and the Xu Clan were preparing to migrate to the Northern Region.

Not long after, Tianyu City issued a notice supporting Jiang Han's ascension, under the name of City Lord Ding.

In addition, news spread that Yao Ao supported Jiang Han's ascension.

As various news spread, the major and minor families of the Eastern Region were shocked and understood a principle: the overall situation was set, and Jiang Han's ascension was unstoppable.

They only had two choices: either submit to Jiang Han, or leave the Eastern Region with their entire clan. There was no third option.

In fact…

Baiyujing's lack of unification of the Eastern Region was no different from unification.

Because the major forces in the Eastern Region were attached to a lord, there were almost no independent cultivators. Those few Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators claimed to be independent, but weren't they following City Lord Ding?

So, apart from the major and minor clans under Xiong Guanshan and the Tenth Lord, there was nothing to say for the rest.

Their own boss had knelt, so it wouldn't be embarrassing for them to kneel as well.

Jiang Han didn't make things difficult for the Xiong family. He sent Lei Nishang to deliver a message, giving the Xiong family one month to relocate to the Northern Region, or else he would be ruthless.

The Xiong family members were originally terrified upon receiving the news of Xiong Guanshan's defeat. Learning that Xiong Guanshan's soul hadn't been shattered and had been taken to the Northern Region, and that Jiang Han had allowed them to migrate to the Northern Region, they all breathed a long sigh of relief.

The Xiong family members didn't hesitate and immediately gathered their clansmen, sending them batch by batch to the north, relocating to the Northern Region.

Some clans under the Xiong family discussed it and chose to follow to the Northern Region, as did some clans under the Tenth Lord. They were afraid of being retaliated against by Jiang Han in the future, so going to the Northern Region would at least give them a boss to protect them, making life relatively better.

Of course, some clans stayed behind, after all, the Eastern Region was their homeland, where they had territory and resources. There were so many large clans in the Northern Region, and going there wouldn't guarantee a good life.

Some clans and sects, such as the Lengyue Sect, who had grudges with Jiang Han before, immediately teleported to the north upon receiving the news.

In short…

A notice from Baijing City caused chaos throughout the entire Eastern Region. Countless young masters from wealthy families immediately teleported to Baijing City, and many large clans kept sending messages, discussing anxiously, wondering if Jiang Han would launch a large-scale campaign after ascending the throne, and whether he would seize everyone's interests.

Baijing City, inside the Imperial Palace!

Jiang Han, Lei Nishang, and Ying Sha were sitting in a side hall behind.

Jiang Han looked at Lei Nishang and said, "Aunt Lei, can you bring Lei Ba up later?"

Lei Nishang smiled and said, "Yes, now that the Eastern Region is stable, he can come up."

Jiang Han pondered for a moment and said, "Give Aunt Zhen a message, conveying my meaning—this Eastern Region Emperor, let Aunt Zhen be it. I don't care much about being an emperor, and I'm annoyed by these trivial matters, preferring to be free and unrestrained."

"Uh…"

Lei Nishang and Ying Sha exchanged glances, then looked at Jiang Han again, finding him very sincere, not just being polite.

The two were a little confused. Jiang Han naturally didn't want to be the emperor, so why did he forcefully want to ascend?

Now that the overall situation was set and the notice had been issued, Jiang Han wanted to give the throne to Zhen Ji? Was this child's play?

Seeing the puzzled expressions of Lei Nishang and Ying Sha, Jiang Han said, "I actually wanted to destroy Xiong Guanshan's soul before, but the Third Lord and Fourth Lord said that any conditions were negotiable, so I changed my mind."

"Zhen Ji and I both need resources for our cultivation, and it's not a long-term solution to rely on others in the Southern Region. I thought of seizing this piece of fat in the Eastern Region first, as for whether I'm the emperor or Zhen Ji is the emperor, is there any difference?"

Lei Nishang and Ying Sha were silent. After a moment, Lei Nishang shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, I understand Zhen Ji. She actually has no ambition to be an emperor, otherwise she would have used Yao Ao's power to kill her way back to the Eastern Region long ago."

"Before, she could easily shatter Xiong Guanshan's soul. If she returned to the Eastern Region, who could stop her from ascending? However… I can send a message to ask, but she probably won't accept."

Ying Sha spoke, "Your Majesty, Yao Ao has already personally supported you, and the major lords have surrendered. The notice has been issued. If we change to Sister Zhen, it will cause turmoil and storms again, and Sister Zhen… may not be able to suppress Old Liu, so this emperor can only be you!"

"Yes!"

Lei Nishang nodded and said, "Old Liu seems to be a neutral party, upright and awe-inspiring, but he has always been ambitious, wanting to unify the Eastern Region, but he was just not strong enough to endure before."

"He is already at the seventh level of the Dao Ancestor Realm, and his combat power is similar to Zhen Ji's. If Zhen Ji becomes the emperor, Old Liu will definitely stir up trouble in secret, pulling a group of Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators to compete with Zhen Ji, and then the Eastern Region may fall into civil strife again…"

"It's okay!"

Jiang Han waved his hand and said, "If Aunt Zhen wants to be the emperor, I will often live in the Eastern Region to support her. With me, the Third Lord, he can't jump up. You send a message first, and ask Aunt Zhen what she means before we talk!"

For Jiang Han, it really didn't matter whether he was the emperor or not, and he used to like being a hands-off shopkeeper, especially hating those trivial matters.

In his opinion, there was no difference between Zhen Ji being the emperor and him being the emperor. Zhen Ji has always wanted to kill her way back to the Eastern Region these years, and she is highly respected, maybe she wants this throne?

"Alright!"

Lei Nishang didn't ask any more questions and turned to send a message.

As a result, just four days after the message was sent, Zhen Ji actually arrived. According to the schedule, Zhen Ji had set off when Jiang Han came to the Eastern Region, not after the battle ended.

Zhen Ji teleported to Baijing City, and Jiang Han took Lei Nishang and Ying Sha to greet her, and some lords came upon hearing the news.

Jiang Han asked those lords to retreat and took Zhen Ji into the Imperial Palace.

Lei Nishang estimated that Zhen Ji didn't receive the message on the road, so she quickly informed her of Jiang Han's intentions through voice transmission.

Entering the Imperial Palace, Zhen Ji looked at Jiang Han with a smile and said, "You kid gave me a surprise. After so many years, I couldn't kill my way back, but you came back alone and suppressed the Eastern Region, expelling Xiong Guanshan."

"Hehe!"

Jiang Han smiled and said, "Aunt Zhen, you should sit on this throne, I'm sincere, I just don't want this territory to be taken advantage of by them."

"You conquered it yourself, you sit on it yourself!"

Zhen Ji waved her hand without hesitation and said, "I have no desire for the throne. After you ascend the throne, I will go down to the lower realm to bring Little Yu'er up. Then… I will take Little Yu'er to the Southern Region, and when Qingning breaks through to the seventh level of the Dao Ancestor Realm, I will go to the Northern Region!"

"Little Yu'er?"

Jiang Han's eyes lit up. Seeing that Zhen Ji's tone was firm, he didn't say much. He said, "Then I'll go back too and bring all my clansmen and family up!"
