Wu Shattered Star River

"Jiang Han is going to the Land of the Gods?"

Back in Holy Yao City, Zhen Ji reacted strongly upon hearing that Jiang Han was going up there.

She rolled her eyes and said, "Let me go up with Jiang Han, so we can look after each other!"

"No way!"

Yao Ao refused outright, "It's not like you're going up there to do anything. He's just going up to find Mo Xie. Besides, Jiang Han wants to find a way to absorb some energy. What are you going up there for?"

"Mind your own business?"

Zhen Ji glared at Yao Ao and said, "I'll go up if I want to. What's it to you?"

Yao Ao smiled wryly and turned his gaze to Jiang Han. Jiang Han persuaded, "Aunt Zhen, please don't go. It's more discreet and safer if I go up alone. Besides, the Eastern and Southern Regions need you to look after them. In case I don't come back, I'll have to ask you to take care of my family and clansmen."

Zhen Ji fell silent. What Jiang Han said made sense. Reason told her not to mess around; it would be best for her to stay behind and hold the fort.

Yao Ao advised, "Jiang Han is only a Saint Ruler on the surface, so he's inconspicuous up there. He's also very strong in combat. As long as he keeps a low profile, it won't be too dangerous."

"Buzz ~"

Yao Ao took out a black pearl and said, "I've been refining this pearl for tens of thousands of years, and it contains very powerful energy. If you encounter a Dao Ancestor Realm Eighth Level expert, you can activate the pearl, and it will transform into an avatar of mine, entangling them for a few breaths, enough for you to escape."

"This…"

Jiang Han hesitated. This pearl was clearly one of Yao Ao's life-saving treasures, capable of withstanding a Dao Ancestor Realm Eighth Level expert. This was a top-tier treasure!

He was a little afraid to accept it and said, "Uncle Yao, you should keep it. Your safety is more important."

"It's useless for me to keep it!"

Yao Ao shook his head and said, "If you can't bring Mo Xie back, or if your combat strength can't be improved, I'm as good as dead sooner or later. What's the point of keeping it? Take it!"

Jiang Han was still hesitant, but Zhen Ji grabbed it and placed it in Jiang Han's hand.

Zhen Ji said, "Take it. Now that you've decided to go up there, then go quickly and come back quickly. Don't delay. Time is precious. Shall we go back to the Eastern Region to settle things first?"

"Alright!"

Jiang Han nodded and looked at Third Floor Master, saying, "Tower Master Liu, will you return together?"

At that moment, Yao Ao spoke, "Or… would Tower Master Liu mind going to the Southern Region to hold the fort for a while?"

Jiang Han and Zhen Ji exchanged a glance, their eyes slightly brightening. Yao Ao's suggestion was excellent.

With Zhen Ji holding the fort in the Eastern Region, the Southern Region would be very empty. Moreover, Jiang Han's relatives and clansmen, as well as the clansmen of Lei Ni裳 and Ying Sha, were all in the Eastern Region. Little Fish didn't want to leave Jiang Emperor Mountain, so it was best for Zhen Ji to hold the fort in the Eastern Region.

Since Zhen Ji was in the Eastern Region, it was meaningless for Third Floor Master to stay in the Eastern Region. It would be best for him to go to the Southern Region to hold the fort.

He had no foundation in the Southern Region, so he wouldn't accomplish much there. Moreover, his clansmen and family were all in the Eastern Region, so there was no fear of him betraying them and defecting to the Tianlin Clan…

Third Floor Master was an extremely intelligent person and immediately understood Yao Ao's intention. He looked towards Yao Ao and saw that although Yao Ao's mouth was smiling, his eyes were somewhat cold.

He felt a chill in his heart and, without hesitating for too long, said, "Alright, then I'll go to the Southern Region to hold the fort until Jiang Han returns."

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Yao Ao's gaze was no longer cold, and a smile appeared on his face as he casually made a promise, "If the Central Region can be taken down in the future, I can give you a promise, at least giving you a territory no smaller than the Eastern Region."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Yao Ao!"

Third Floor Master hurriedly thanked him, but he was secretly full of bitter smiles.

Cang Xun Ni had broken through to the Dao Ancestor Realm Eighth Level, and the Four Regions had fallen into a desperate situation. The hope of breaking the deadlock was very slim. Yao Ao's promise was too hard; he was afraid it would break his teeth…

Jiang Han, Zhen Ji, and Third Floor Master didn't stay and teleported back to the Eastern Region.

When they returned to White Capital City, Third Floor Master was very sensible and only returned to his clan to give some instructions before teleporting to the Southern Region alone.

Jiang Han and Zhen Ji arranged for Lei Yun to send a message to Qing Ning and Seventh Ancestor, informing them that Third Floor Master would be going to hold the fort for a while. Jiang Han also sent a message to Seventh Ancestor, asking him to keep an eye on Third Floor Master and not let him mess around…

Jiang Han didn't actually have much to arrange. If Zhen Ji was in the Eastern Region, she would take care of everything in the future.

Jiang Han didn't say he was going to the Land of the Gods, only that he was going to a place to cultivate in seclusion for a while. This period might be ten or eight years, and he told everyone to listen to Zhen Ji's arrangements.

Jiang Han stayed for three days, meeting with many relatives and friends and drinking several rounds of wine.

On the night before he left, Jiang Han entered the manor where Si Li lived.

So many years had passed, but Si Li's appearance hadn't changed much, and she was still as aloof and beautiful as ever.

She saw Jiang Han come in, poured him a cup of strong tea, and then asked, "Where are you planning to go this time?"

Jiang Han glanced at Si Li, intending to say he was going to a secret realm, but seeing her pure eyes, which didn't contain a trace of impurity, he knew he couldn't hide it from Si Li.

He smiled wryly and said, "Going to the upper realm, there's another level to the God and Devil Battlefield, called the Land of the Gods. Uncle Yao and Aunt Zhen know about this, and they let me go up there. You… how did you know I wasn't going to a secret realm?"

Si Li's expression didn't change at all. She sighed and said, "Don't I understand my own man? If you were just going to a secret realm, why would you meet with everyone? Why would you drink so much wine? Why would you be so reluctant?"

"I don't know what the Land of the Gods is, but I know it will definitely be dangerous. As a heroic man, the things you have to do are important, and we won't say anything about the things you've decided, let alone stop you."

"I just want to say one thing, live well and come back. We're all waiting for you to come back. If it really doesn't work… we don't want this Eastern Region anymore, we don't want the Great Thousand either. We'll go back to our Heavenly Dust Realm and live a stable life."

Jiang Han got up and hugged Si Li. He said with guilt, "I'm sorry, you followed me, but you haven't had a stable life, and you've always been living in fear. I don't want to go up there this time either, but… I can't help it."

"Don't worry, I'll be careful in everything I do up there, making living my top priority. If it really doesn't work, I'll return immediately and take you to find a void realm to live out the rest of our lives."

Si Li reached out and hugged Jiang Han, a bitter smile appearing on her lips.

Jiang Han would say these words every time they separated. Although he had always succeeded in the end, constantly becoming stronger and constantly creating miracles, she had spent so many years living in fear and longing, which made her suffer greatly.

She felt that she had fallen in love with a wild horse, which would break free from its reins from time to time and run away. She didn't know when it would return, or if it could return…

"Si Li!"

Jiang Han said after a moment of silence, "If Jiang Nian, Jiang An, and Qing Lin have people they like, you can arrange it for them. You don't have to wait for me to come back. If you can't make a decision on anything, go find Aunt Zhen, Aunt Lei, and Uncle Ying."

"Okay!"

Si Li nodded, then took Jiang Han's hand and headed towards the bedroom. She looked at Jiang Han affectionately and said, "Let's go, stay with me for one last night. You can set off tomorrow."
