Wu Shattered Star River

"Go to the heart of the Heavenly Dao Sect?"

Jiang Han didn't know if others were interested, but he certainly wasn't.

Going to the heartland would easily lead to a full-scale war. When that happened, all the experts from the Heavenly Dao Sect would be mobilized. If things went badly, half of the experts on this side might not make it back.

Some Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators were excited and voiced their support directly, but others remained silent, clearly not particularly in favor or unwilling to risk it.

Jiang Han belonged to the latter group and didn't speak.

Lan Mo glanced around and roughly understood the situation. He said, "Alright, those willing to go, come with me for a trip. Because this is extremely dangerous, the war merits will be doubled. I will report this to the Sect Leader later. Those unwilling to go, return to Bailing City to hold down the fort."

Jiang Han didn't hesitate at all. After two elders suggested returning to hold down the fort, he stood up and said, "Reporting to Sect Leader Lan, I'll return with them to hold down the fort."

Lan Mo glanced at Jiang Han and nodded slightly, saying, "Take Lan Mei back with you."

Lan Mei seemed somewhat dissatisfied with Jiang Han's avoidance of battle, pouting and saying, "Who wants him to take me? I can go back on my own!"

Lan Mei had enough self-awareness not to insist on going to the heart of the Heavenly Dao Sect, but she was unwilling to let Jiang Han take her back.

Lan Mo looked at Jiang Han, and Jiang Han nodded.

"Let's go!"

Lan Mo led a group of experts away, leaving only Jiang Han, Lan Mei, and four other Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators.

"Hmph!"

Lan Mei glanced at Jiang Han, snorted twice, and directly transformed into a stream of light and flew away.

The remaining four Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators looked at Jiang Han. Jiang Han smiled helplessly and said, "You all go together. I'll go back with Miss Lan!"

Lan Mo had asked Jiang Han to protect Lan Mei on her return, so Jiang Han naturally couldn't let Lan Mei return alone. If something happened, he wouldn't be able to answer to Lan Mo.

He transformed into a stream of light and chased after her. One of the Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators said, "Let's go, shall we catch up and go back together?"

"Go back together for what?"

Another Dao Ancestor Realm cultivator glared and said, "Didn't you see? Sect Leader Lan thinks highly of Jiang Han and intends to marry Lan Mei to him. They're just having a lovers' quarrel. What are we doing following them?"

"That's right!"

Another Dao Ancestor Realm cultivator said, "I heard from my granddaughter that Lan Mei has been thinking about Jiang Han day and night lately. Let's not old fogeys disturb the young couple."

In the end, the four Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators didn't chase after Jiang Han and Lan Mei, but instead crossed the void and flew away.

Lan Mei couldn't cross the void, so she could only fly towards Bailing City.

Jiang Han's speed was much faster than Lan Mei's, and he quickly caught up, but he didn't get close, instead following from a distance.

Lan Mei's soul was very strong, so she naturally sensed a strong presence behind her. At first, she thought it was Jiang Han and ignored it. Instead, she acted a bit childishly, deliberately increasing her speed with a dark face.

Jiang Han followed unhurriedly behind. After flying for a while, Lan Mei felt that something was wrong. She had been assassinated twice recently and had some lingering fear, so she felt a little flustered.

She didn't know if it was Jiang Han behind her or a Dao Ancestor Realm cultivator from the Heavenly Dao Sect, so she didn't dare to stop, but instead increased her speed to the limit.

Lan Mei increased her speed, and Jiang Han naturally sped up as well, like a ghost, always maintaining a distance from Lan Mei.

Lan Mei used her soul power to probe with all her might, but because the distance was too far, she couldn't sense Jiang Han's figure behind her.

She felt even more panicked and constantly changed direction, but the figure behind her was like a persistent ghost, always following.

After flying for another half-stick of incense time, she panicked. She stopped and a sword appeared in her hand as she looked behind her.

As soon as she stopped, Jiang Han stopped as well. She still couldn't sense Jiang Han's specific appearance, only feeling that there was someone behind her.

She gritted her teeth and flew towards Jiang Han. Jiang Han didn't want to get entangled with Lan Mei, only promising Lan Mo to protect her. His body flashed and he entered the Other Shore Space.

Lan Mei flew over, only to find that Jiang Han had disappeared. She scanned around with her soul power, but couldn't sense anything.

She completely panicked. She scanned the vicinity several times and shouted, "Jiang Han, is that you?"

"Jiang Han, come out!"

"Jiang Han, you bastard, don't scare me, come out quickly!"

"Jiang Han, are you out of your mind? Come out!"

Lan Mei shouted a few times, but Jiang Han still didn't appear. She felt even more panicked, her face turning pale with fright.

She flew a distance, and after confirming that she couldn't find Jiang Han, she flew towards Bailing City in a panic.

Jiang Han waited for a dozen breaths of time before his body flashed out. He scanned the vicinity, didn't find Lan Mei, and immediately flew towards Bailing City.

After flying for several dozen breaths of time, he sensed Lan Mei's aura and began to leisurely follow behind again.

Lan Mei constantly sensed the situation behind her and quickly discovered that a ghost-like aura had appeared behind her again. Her delicate body trembled, and her eyes became even more flustered.

She could only continue to speed up, constantly changing direction, but she couldn't get rid of it.

After proceeding for another incense stick of time, Lan Mei's eyes turned. She took out a pill, and after swallowing the pill, her speed increased sharply.

After flying a distance, she took out a jade talisman. After activating the jade talisman, her figure suddenly disappeared into the air.

She lurked in a forest below, not using her soul power, but instead opening her eyes wide and observing her surroundings.

"Whoosh!"

After a moment, a figure shot over, wearing black battle armor and possessing a strong aura and fast speed.

Who else could it be but Jiang Han?

The moment she saw Jiang Han, Lan Mei felt a sense of relief, and the fear in her heart disappeared.

Then, her eyes turned red, and anger appeared in her eyes. She raised her long sword and soared into the air, stabbing fiercely at Jiang Han.

"Uh…"

Jiang Han sensed the fluctuation and condensed the Evil Demon Spear at the first moment, but only dispersed the Evil Demon Spear after seeing that it was Lan Mei.

"Boom!"

Lan Mei slashed fiercely at Jiang Han, but unfortunately her attack wasn't strong enough and couldn't break through Jiang Han's defense at all.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"

Lan Mei slashed dozens of times in a row, Jiang Han's body remaining motionless in the air, like a mortal hammering a mountain.

After Lan Mei slashed a dozen more times, Jiang Han became a little impatient and said, "Have you slashed enough?"

Lan Mei became even angrier upon hearing this and continued to slash continuously, saying, "Not enough, Jiang Han, I want to slash you to death!"

"Are you out of your mind?"

Jiang Han also became angry upon hearing this and said, "I'm protecting you out of kindness, and you want to kill me?"

"Who wants your protection?"

Lan Mei stopped, glared at Jiang Han, and said, "Besides, is that how you protect someone? Like a ghost in the back. Why didn't you show yourself when I went back to find you just now? Were you deliberately scaring me?"

Jiang Han was silent. He pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, let's go, let's go back!"

Lan Mei refused to let it go and said, "I'm not going. I'm not going anywhere today until I make things clear. Tell me… were you deliberately hiding from me? Deliberately scaring me? Do you have bad intentions?"

Jiang Han became a little impatient and said, "I didn't deliberately scare you, but I did deliberately hide from you."

"Because I don't want to have any entanglement with you. I said before… I don't want to have any relationship with you, do you understand?"
