Wu Shattered Star River

With Cang Ri Tian and Cang Hui gone, Yao Ao felt a sense of relief, as if he had survived a catastrophe.

Jiang Han let out a long breath and turned his gaze towards the three powerhouses. Just as he was about to say something, the three powerhouses flashed and rushed up Mount Wuliang.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Han and Yao Ao were both dumbfounded. Weren't these three powerhouses here to help them? Were they just passing by?

"咻!"

A figure shot over from the north, and Pei Zhu flew over, though her figure was still blurry.

She glanced at Yao Ao and Jiang Han and transmitted a message: "Jiang Han, Uncle Yuanhu said he can only help you get to the Land of the Gods. He can't interfere too much in other matters, otherwise, it will leave a handle for the other Supreme God families to use against our Pei family."

Jiang Han understood that these three powerhouses were indeed from the Pei family, or were helpers that Pei Yuanhu had invited.

Out of respect for Pei Zhu, he was only willing to take action once to help them get to the Land of the Gods. He couldn't possibly help Jiang Han kill Cang Ri Tian and Cang Hui, let alone help Jiang Han unify the Land of Winter.

Pei Zhu was silent for a moment, then transmitted another message: "Jiang Han, Uncle Yuanhu is waiting for me up there. Shall we go up together?"

Jiang Han pondered for a moment, then said, "You go up first. Now that Cang Ri Tian and the others have retreated, they shouldn't be ambushing us anytime soon. I'll go find Aunt Zhen and Emperor Ye's souls first, and then I'll take them to the Land of the Gods."

Since Pei Yuanhu and the others were unwilling to help, Jiang Han and the others wouldn't be able to conquer the Land of Winter with their current strength. Staying would only lead to death.

Therefore, Jiang Han still decided to take them up, but first, he had to find Zhen Ji and Ye Tianfan's souls.

"How about this!"

Pei Zhu thought for a moment and transmitted a message: "I'll go talk to Uncle Yuanhu. We'll wait for you on Mount Wuliang for five days. If you don't come after five days, then we'll go up first—I promised Uncle Yuanhu that I would go back with him, otherwise, he wouldn't be willing to show up."

"Okay!"

Jiang Han thought for a moment that five days should be enough. Pei Zhu nodded towards Yao Ao and then rushed towards Mount Wuliang.

After Pei Zhu left, Jiang Han spoke a few words to Yao Ao, informing him about Pei Yuanhu and the others.

After listening, Yao Ao's eyes showed some disappointment. He had thought that the Pei family's powerhouses would help kill Cang Ri Tian and the others, but now it seemed that he had been overthinking things.

"Then let's go find Zhen Ji and Ye Tianfan's souls. Once we find them, we'll go up!"

Yao Ao made a prompt decision. Jiang Han and Yao Ao flew together, first chasing after the direction Zhen Ji's soul had flown.

"Northwest!"

After flying for a while, Yao Ao shouted and took the lead in flying northwest.

Jiang Han asked in surprise, "Uncle Yao, can you sense Aunt Zhen's soul?"

"Yes!"

Yao Ao nodded and said, "I left a mark within her soul, and I can vaguely sense it through the mark."

"Good!"

Jiang Han's face lit up with joy. He quickly followed Yao Ao all the way, flying for half an hour. Suddenly, Yao Ao flew down and entered a large mountain.

Then he burrowed into a cave and found a crystal stone deep within the cave, inside which was Zhen Ji's soul.

"Huff, huff!"

Having found Zhen Ji's soul, both Jiang Han and Yao Ao felt a sense of relief. They shot out and this time flew south, because Ye Tianfan's soul had fled south.

After flying for a while, Yao Ao discovered a team of scouts. He landed and asked, "Are there any communication formations nearby?"

"Greetings, Emperor Yao and Emperor Jiang!"

The scouts recognized Yao Ao and Jiang Han and quickly saluted. The scout leader said, "There's a small town nearby with a communication formation!"

"Lead the way!"

Yao Ao grabbed the scout captain and, under his guidance, found the small town. This was a secret stronghold, with an Emperor-level expert from the Ye family stationed here.

"Send a message back!"

Yao Ao ordered, "Ask which way Ye Tianfan's soul flew? Has it been received?"

This was the Western Regions, the Ye family's territory. There must be many Ye family cultivators nearby. Ye Tianfan's soul had fled, so it should have been received by Ye family cultivators.

The Emperor-level expert immediately sent a message back. Only a moment later, the communication formation lit up. The Ye family had sent a message—saying that Ye Tianfan's soul had been received by one of their Saint Sovereigns, but the specific location was unknown.

"The specific location is unknown?"

Yao Ao and Jiang Han frowned. Did the Ye family not want to disclose it? Or had that Saint Sovereign taken Ye Tianfan away alone, not wanting to inform any cultivators, fearing that Ye Tianfan's soul would be attacked?

"Send a message and ask if they can find him?"

Yao Ao ordered again. The Emperor-level expert began to send messages again. This time, they waited for a full half hour before a message came back—they had already contacted that Saint Sovereign, but the Saint Sovereign had not replied.

Jiang Han frowned and said, "He probably doesn't want to reveal his whereabouts to anyone. He wants to protect Emperor Ye and help him reshape his body?"

Yao Ao nodded. This was understandable. For example, if his body was destroyed, Yao Ning would take his soul away, and Yao Ning certainly wouldn't reveal it to anyone, not even Jiang Han.

If the whereabouts were not disclosed to anyone, it would be difficult to find him. He would secretly reshape Ye Tianfan's body and restore his battle strength.

"Then let's ignore him!"

Yao Ao said, "Anyway, Old Ye doesn't want to go up, so let him stay below."

"Alright!"

Jiang Han didn't continue to dwell on it. Now that Ye Tianfan's soul had been secretly taken away, even the Ye family didn't know where he was. Even if Cang Ri Tian and the others searched every soul along the way, it would be difficult to find Ye Tianfan.

Ye Tianfan would be secretly reshaped, his battle strength restored, and then he would lead his clansmen into the Void Realm.

Yao Ao waved his hand and said, "Send a message back. You guys evacuate according to Ye Tianfan's previous arrangements! Once Ye Tianfan has reshaped his body, tell him that we've gone to the Land of the Gods. Tell him to hold on, and Jiang Han and I will eventually return!"

"Farewell, two Emperors!"

The Emperor-level expert bowed. Jiang Han and Yao Ao soared into the sky and flew towards Mount Wuliang.

After spending some time, they arrived at Mount Wuliang. They could still sense Pei Yuanhu and the others' aura above.

Jiang Han and Yao Ao stopped and turned their gaze towards the earth behind them.

Yao Ao thought for a moment and took out his long saber. He flew to a nearby mountain and carved a line of large characters on the stone wall—Cang Ri Tian, wait for us. Jiang Han and I will eventually return.

Yao Ao left his Dao rhythm within the battle saber. As long as a powerhouse came to sense it, they would know that it was left by Yao Ao.

The meaning of Yao Ao leaving this line of words was very clear, to let Cang Ri Tian not go too far and not hunt down their clansmen hiding in the Void Realm.

Otherwise, when their battle strength soared and they returned, they would also retaliate with iron and blood, finding all the Tianlin clansmen and killing them.

"Go!"

Yao Ao flew back and rushed upwards with Jiang Han.

Pei Yuanhu sensed Yao Ao and Jiang Han above, but without stopping, and without any intention of greeting Yao Ao and Jiang Han, he took Pei Zhu and went up first.

When Jiang Han and Yao Ao came up, Pei Yuanhu and Pei Zhu had already left.

Jiang Han and Yao Ao didn't stop, but rushed upwards all the way, finally entering the light gate and entering the Land of the Gods.
