Wu Shattered Star River

“Cang Miao?”

Cang Xunni and Cang Huang's expressions immediately became unnatural upon hearing the name Cang Miao.

Cang Miao and his brothers were the very Tianlin Clan members they had exiled from the Land of Eternal Winter to the Land of the Gods.

Back then, Cang Miao was the previous generation's Tianlin Clan King, but Cang Ri Tian rose to power, seized the throne, and banished Cang Miao and his kin.

When Cang Miao left, he was only at the seventh level of the Dao Ancestor Realm.

After arriving in the Land of the Gods, he broke through to the eighth level.

Not only Cang Miao, but another Tianlin Clan member also reached the eighth level, and yet another broke through to the seventh.

Cang Miao and his group were in the Light Dao, where they even took control of a five-star power.

Cang Miao became the sect leader.

Cang Miao and his people were exiled, and many of their clansmen were killed in the internal strife.

The relationship between the two factions was extremely strained, and Cang Miao and his brothers deeply resented Cang Ri Tian.

Now, they were being asked to invite Cang Miao and his group back?

Would Cang Miao and his people even be willing to return?

Even if they were, wouldn't Cang Ri Tian's position as Clan King be in jeopardy?

Cang Miao might not want the Clan King's position himself, but his brothers might very well take over, and they would likely demand many excessive conditions.

Regardless of the outcome, Cang Ri Tian, Cang Xunni, and Cang Huang's lives would certainly become difficult.

But...

If they didn't invite Cang Miao and his group back, how could they break the deadlock?

How could they kill Jiang Han?

Since Cang Ri Tian couldn't sense Jiang Han's location, he had no way to kill him.

Cang Miao and his group had been in the Land of the Gods for many years, perhaps possessing many strange techniques and powerful treasures that could detect Jiang Han's location?

“Is there a possibility!”

Cang Xunni spoke up, “To negotiate with Jiang Han, to let Jiang Han take his clansmen to the Land of the Gods?

Let Yao Ao, Ye Tianfan, and the others go to the Land of the Gods?

We won't interfere, and we guarantee not to kill the experts under his command?”

“The possibility is slim!”

Cang Ri Tian shook his head, saying, “Jiang Han currently has the upper hand and would definitely be unwilling to give up his territory.

Otherwise, he could have secretly taken his clansmen up there already.”

“Moreover, not everyone can bring their clansmen to the Land of the Gods; some top-tier spatial treasures are required.”

“Then, should we directly attack the Four Regions and try to capture Yao Ao, Zhen Ji, and Ye Tianfan alive?”

Cang Huang suggested, “We can't find Jiang Han, but Yao Ao, Ye Tianfan, and Zhen Ji can't escape, right?

We can scatter our clansmen throughout the Central Region, dispersing them into various secret realms.

How much time would Jiang Han need to chase them down?”

“As long as we capture Yao Ao, Ye Tianfan, Zhen Ji, and Jiang Han's relatives and clansmen alive, we can use them to coerce Jiang Han.”

Cang Ri Tian thought for a moment and said, “That's one option, but I think it's still better to contact Cang Miao and see what conditions they propose.

That would be more prudent.”

“Mm!”

Cang Xunni and Cang Huang agreed.

Cang Ri Tian didn't waste any time, leading Cang Xunni and Cang Huang out of the main hall and into an underground cave in the backyard.

This cave was very mysterious, a forbidden area of the Tianlin Clan.

Except for Cang Ri Tian, Cang Xunni, and Cang Huang, no one was allowed to enter.

Usually, this place was sealed by formations, with even more seals at the bottom, providing formidable defense.

Cang Huang lifted the seals, and the three experts walked down, reaching a dark hall tens of thousands of miles underground.

The dark hall was empty except for an altar.

Cang Ri Tian glanced at Cang Xunni, who opened the altar's seal and then activated it.

This altar was secretly built by experts sent by Cang Miao to the lower realm.

The altar couldn't teleport Cang Miao and his group down, but it could connect to the altar on Cang Miao's side, allowing Cang Miao to project a wisp of his soul to communicate.

“Buzz~”

Cang Xunni activated the altar, and soon it lit up with a beam of light that shot into the sky, but was blocked by the formations in the cave.

The entire cave was as bright as day, with light flowing within the altar, releasing a strange and mysterious aura.

After waiting for a full hour, the altar suddenly trembled, and a phantom appeared within it.

The phantom was blurry, but it was clearly a member of the Tianlin Clan.

His eyes flashed with cold light as he looked at Cang Ri Tian, Cang Xunni, and Cang Huang.

He said, “This altar has been built for over four hundred thousand years, and this is the first time it's being used.

Heh heh, Cang Ri Tian, aren't you very proud?

You also have a day when you need to ask for my help?”

Cang Ri Tian remained expressionless, but Cang Xunni and Cang Huang's faces turned somewhat unsightly.

Cang Ri Tian being humiliated was even more unbearable for them than being humiliated themselves.

However, they didn't say anything, as they needed Cang Miao's help now.

Cang Ri Tian spoke, “Cang Miao, we have indeed encountered some difficulties.

Recently, many Tianlin Clan citizens have been slaughtered.

If you don't help, the Tianlin Clan in the lower realm might be wiped out.”

“Hmm?”

Cang Miao's eyes revealed a hint of surprise as he said, “Has an expert in the Land of Eternal Winter broken through to the ninth level of the Dao Ancestor Realm?

That's impossible.

With the laws, heavenly essence, and spiritual energy of the Land of Eternal Winter, it's impossible to nurture an expert at the ninth level of the Dao Ancestor Realm.”

“No!”

Cang Ri Tian shook his head and said, “A prodigy has appeared in the Land of Eternal Winter.

He's a human from the Great Thousand Worlds of the Eastern Region.

He's a body cultivator who hasn't even broken through to the Dao Ancestor Realm, but he has cultivated the power of Chaos, and his overall combat power is at the seventh level of the Dao Ancestor Realm.”

“That's not all.

He also possesses a strange escape technique that I can't see through his true form, and I can't do anything about him.”

“In the past half-month, he has slaughtered the citizens of Blackscale Mountain and Tianlin Lake.

Nearly a hundred million of our citizens have been slaughtered by him.

We could just leave and develop in the Land of the Gods, but the clansmen in the Land of Eternal Winter might be exterminated.”

“So, I have no choice but to contact you.

Do you have any solutions?

If you don't have any solutions either, I can only try to disperse the clansmen and then take a group of Dao Ancestor Realm experts to the Land of the Gods.”

“Escape technique?”

Cang Miao's eyes flickered, and then he coldly snorted, saying, “Cang Ri Tian, you're truly a piece of trash.

You can't protect your clansmen; what face do you have to sit on the throne of the Clan King?”

Cang Xunni and Cang Huang's expressions changed again.

Just as they were about to say something, Cang Ri Tian waved his hand and said, “Then will you return?

I'll give you the throne of the Clan King, and we'll go to the Land of the Gods.

How about it?”

“Who cares?”

Cang Miao coldly snorted.

He pondered for a moment and said, “Tell me about the situation in the Land of Eternal Winter, in detail.”

Cang Ri Tian glanced at Cang Huang, who quickly said, “Reporting, Uncle Miao, the current situation in the Land of Eternal Winter is like this…”

Cang Huang explained the situation in the Land of Eternal Winter in detail.

After listening, Cang Miao said, “So, you're saying that as long as you kill this human, you'll have absolute certainty of unifying the entire Land of Eternal Winter?”

Cang Ri Tian nodded and said, “As long as he's killed, pacifying the Land of Eternal Winter will be easy.”

“Alright!”

Cang Miao said, “I'll have Cang Hui return once.

I'll have him bring a few supreme treasures down to help you kill this human.

However… I have a request.”

Cang Ri Tian smiled and said, “What request?”

Cang Miao said, “After you unify the entire Land of Eternal Winter, I want half of the resources you obtain each year.”

“Half?”

Cang Xunni and Cang Huang's expressions darkened, and even Cang Ri Tian's expression became somewhat uneasy.

Although Cang Miao didn't want the throne of the Clan King, he was asking for too much.

Half of the resources of the entire Land of Eternal Winter was an astronomical amount.

Cang Ri Tian pondered for a while and said, “Thirty percent!”

Cang Miao coldly snorted and said, “Either give the throne of the Clan King to Cang Hui, or give me half of the resources.

Choose for yourself.”

Cang Ri Tian gritted his teeth and said again, “Forty percent!”

This time, Cang Miao readily agreed, saying, “Deal.

It might take three months for Cang Hui to return; you must hold out for three months.”
