Wu Shattered Star River

“Greetings, Ancestor Xu!”

A group of Dao Ancestor Realm level eight cultivators hurriedly stood up, bowing respectfully. Seeing the gloomy expression on the illusory figure, they all felt apprehensive.

Pei Xu's face showed embarrassment. After bowing, he said, “Ancestor Xu, you misunderstand. We didn't intend to snatch the Supreme Divine Weapon from Jiang Han's hands. We just wanted to clarify and discuss it a bit!”

“There's nothing to clarify!”

The Xu Clan member snorted coldly again and said, “Firstly, it's not certain that Jiang Han obtained the Supreme Divine Weapon. Secondly, even if he did, he's one of us, and we can't attack him!”

“Otherwise, where would the Old Ancestor's face be? Where would our Pei family's face be?”

“That's natural!”

Pei Xu quickly nodded and said, “We certainly wouldn't snatch the divine weapon from Jiang Han's hands. Otherwise, it would be a severe blow to our Pei family's reputation! The Old Ancestor would definitely be furious upon learning about it!”

“Since that's the case…”

Ancestor Xu said coldly, “Then what's there to discuss? Even if Jiang Han obtained it, you can only pretend he didn't!”

“Moreover, you must be consistent in your statements and spread the word that he didn't obtain anything.”

“Otherwise, Jiang Han will face endless troubles. This time, he also offended the Darkness Dao and the Flame Dao. He may suffer crazy assassinations and won't be able to go anywhere in the future. Do you understand?”

“Understood!”

The group of Dao Ancestor Realm level eight cultivators bowed in unison, and Ancestor Xu's illusory figure dissipated into the air.

After Ancestor Xu's illusory figure disappeared, Pei Xu, Pei Yuanhu, and the others exchanged glances, their eyes becoming firm.

Ancestor Xu was right!

Since they didn't plan to snatch Jiang Han's Supreme Divine Weapon, did it matter whether Jiang Han obtained it or not?

Not only could they not investigate, but they also had to help Jiang Han cover it up and handle the aftermath. They had to find a way to make the outside world believe that Jiang Han didn't obtain anything; otherwise, Jiang Han's future days would be difficult.

The group of cultivators discussed for a while and unified their statements, confirming that Jiang Han and Pei Xu hadn't obtained anything.

“That's not right!”

Pei Yuanhu thought for a moment and said, “The more we try to cover it up, the more others will suspect that Jiang Han obtained it.”

“We might as well spread a rumor—saying that Pei Sui obtained the Trident of the Sea God, and now the trident has been handed over and is in the hands of the Clan King. Who would dare to snatch it then?”

“That makes sense!”

The group of sect leaders nodded. If they spread the word like that, Jiang Han would be very safe.

Firstly, it was said that Pei Sui obtained it. Secondly, it was said that the trident was in the hands of the Pei Clan King. Then the cultivators from other forces would give up the idea of snatching it.

One should know that the Pei Clan King is the Light Supreme God's own son, a Dao Ancestor Realm level nine existence whose combat power is second only to the Supreme Gods.

Moreover, the Pei Clan King has two Supreme Divine Artifacts in his hands. In this world, no one except the seven Supreme Gods can kill the Pei Clan King.

“Then let's do it this way!”

The group of sect leaders all agreed to this plan, and Pei Xu went to ask the Pei Clan King for instructions.

After the Pei Clan King agreed, he called Pei Sui, Ji Wu, and a few others over and informed them about the matter of spreading the news.

He told Pei Sui and the others not to talk nonsense. If cultivators inquired, they should be ambiguous and vague.

Pei Sui immediately agreed upon hearing this!

There was such a good thing?

They had entered the seventh level, which was already world-shaking. Now, if the news spread, he would definitely become the subject of discussion among all the cultivators in the Land of the Gods and the Sea of All Living Things for a period of time. His reputation might even surpass many Dao Ancestor Realm level eight cultivators.

He was already young and frivolous, and liked to show off, so he naturally agreed readily!

Pei Xu began to arrange for cultivators to spread the news.

Of course, there were skills involved in spreading the news. In short, it was all kinds of "I heard," "It seems," "I have a friend," "I have a relative who is a high-level member of the Pei family" and other arguments, making things vague, half-true, and half-false.

The general meaning was that this time, the Light Dao team entered the Sea God's Temple and achieved a great victory, not only suppressing the Darkness Dao and the Flame Dao, but also Pei Sui, Ji Wu, Jiang Han, and the others entered the seventh level.

It was suspected that Pei Sui obtained the Trident of the Sea God and dedicated this divine weapon to the Pei Clan King.

Originally, this matter had been discussed in Light City for a while. Once the wind was released, Light City immediately exploded.

The news spread like snowflakes and quickly spread throughout the entire Land of the Gods and the Sea of All Living Things.

Three days later, the Light Society denied the rumors. A sect leader publicly reprimanded a team of soldiers in Light City, saying that Pei Sui did not obtain the trident and told them not to spread rumors.

Of course, it was difficult to suppress Jiang Han's reputation this time. Just by leading the team to suppress the cultivators of the Light Dao and the Flame Dao, it was enough to make his reputation soar.

It's just that no cultivator associated him with obtaining the Supreme Divine Artifact of the Sea God.

… …

“What do you mean?”

On Tianqing Peak, Jiang Han was a little confused when he heard the news brought by Pei Xiang.

The outside world was actually spreading that Pei Sui had obtained the Trident of the Sea God? With Pei Sui's bird-like appearance, was he worthy of obtaining the trident?

Didn't he know whether Pei Sui had obtained the trident or not?

Pei Sui and the others didn't move at all afterwards, and didn't get anything. They just went to the seventh floor and turned around. Why would the news spread that Pei Sui got the trident?

Jiang Han was a little confused. Pei Xiang came over to deliver a message and left. Jiang Han thought for a while and personally went down to Light City to investigate the news, but he disguised his appearance with the Heavenly Transformation Technique.

After investigating around, he found out all the news spread in the city, and he was even more surprised.

He returned to Tianqing Peak, then went to Jade Maiden Peak to find Pei Zhu.

Pei Zhu was not imprisoned, and lived in Jade Maiden Peak. She received Jiang Han in the backyard.

“Miss Zhu!”

Jiang Han went straight to the point and asked, “Is the news spread recently deliberately released by the sect? Is it to confuse the public?”

Pei Zhu smiled, like a lily blooming, she said, “You guessed it?”

“Sure enough!”

Jiang Han smiled bitterly and said, “The sect is trying to protect me and deliberately released fake news.”

Pei Zhu blinked, shot out a stream of light, opened the magic circle, and transmitted her voice: “Then Jiang Han, can you tell me, did you get the Supreme Divine Weapon in the end? If you believe me, tell me the truth. If you don't believe me, it doesn't matter. You don't have to say anything.”

Jiang Han was silent, thought for a while, and transmitted his voice: “I naturally believe you, I won't hide it from you, I didn't get the trident and the Sea God's armor.”

“I got a blue gem inside, but… this gem doesn't seem to be of much use, I still need to explore it specifically.”

“Blue gem?”

Pei Zhu was stunned for a moment, then her eyes shrank, and she transmitted her voice: “Could it be… the Sea God's Seal?”
