Wu Shattered Star River

Jiang Han's return to the Light Domain went smoothly. Although there were many scouts along the River of Souls, and even some Dao Ancestor Realm Eighth Level cultivators leading patrols, he could use his invisibility to easily traverse back to the Light Domain.

Then, without stopping, he used his void escape technique towards Jade Void Mountain, as he needed to report back to Pei Tianyu.

Upon arriving at Jade Void Mountain, Jiang Han received a warm welcome. After he released Gan Xie and the others, the cultivators here immediately went to report, and Pei Tianyu summoned Jiang Han and his group at once.

Arriving outside the palace, Jiang Han discovered that Pei Tianyu himself was leading a team to greet them outside the hall.

Even though they only walked to the entrance of the main hall, it was still a great honor, considering that Pei Tianyu was the commander of the allied forces of the Light Domain this time.

Gan Xie, Wei Yu, Wen Wu, and the others felt honored as well, all straightening their backs and striding forward, following Jiang Han.

Reaching Pei Tianyu, Jiang Han bowed slightly, but Gan Xie loudly announced, "Greetings, Holy Venerables! We were ordered to head north and have now completed our initial goals. We have returned for rest and request to return to camp!"

Wei Yu, Wen Wu, Jiao Xi, and the others also performed a salute, loudly proclaiming, "Greetings, Holy Venerables! We were ordered to head north and have now completed our initial goals. We have returned for rest and request to return to camp!"

Pei Tianyu nodded in satisfaction, saying, "You have all done well. You have worked hard. Permission granted to return to camp!"

The surrounding group of Dao Ancestor Realm Eighth Level cultivators rolled their eyes. Was Gan Xie putting on too much of a show? Was this what he called completing the initial goals?

They had killed so many on the Dark Domain side that it was covered in red. It was said that the Kan Clan's Clan King was furious and had smashed over a dozen cups. They returned in triumph, and Pei Tianyu even led a team to welcome them, yet he deliberately requested to return to camp?

Jiang Han didn't understand Gan Xie's act. He hadn't spent much time in the military, so he didn't understand the rules.

He awkwardly rubbed his nose and said, "Holy Venerables, do I need to say it again? Also requesting to return to camp?"

"Hahaha!"

Pei Tianyu and several Holy Venerables laughed. Pei Tianyu patted Jiang Han's shoulder and said, "You don't need to say it. You are an exception. I can even give you a privilege: you don't need to salute when you see us old fogeys in the future."

"Wow ~"

The crowd immediately became noisy, and a group of Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators revealed envious expressions. This wasn't just about saluting or not; it was about status.

Jiang Han didn't need to salute the Holy Venerables, which showed Pei Tianyu's high regard for him. In the future, Jiang Han's status would clearly be above many Sect Leaders.

Jiang Han had previously been valued by Ancestor Xu. Pei Tianyu's identity and status were even slightly higher than Ancestor Xu's, ranking third in the Pei family. With Jiang Han becoming Pei Tianyu's favorite, his status in the Light Assembly would definitely surpass many Sect Leaders.

There were many Sect Leaders in the Light Assembly, but many didn't have real power. Jiang Han was currently a Fierce Light Envoy, and he didn't have much power either, but he was likely to become a Sect Leader with real power in the future.

Pei Tianyu arranged for cultivators to prepare a banquet to welcome Jiang Han and his group.

Jiang Han, Gan Xie, Wei Yu, and the others became the focus of the entire event, the greatest contributors to this war. Many cultivators toasted Jiang Han and his group.

During the casual conversation, Jiang Han learned that another counterattack had been launched, but unfortunately, the attack wasn't particularly successful. It cost them a lot, and they only managed to recapture one city.

This was only because Jiang Han and his group had continuously achieved merits on the Dark Domain side, causing the morale of the Dark Domain's army to decline.

The war was difficult!

He said, "We received news that the Kan Clan's Clan King held a high-level meeting, probably to discuss how to deal with you. You should keep a low profile and lie low for a while to avoid the limelight."

"Alright!"

Jiang Han nodded. He was planning to rest for a while. The continuous high-intensity battles had exhausted him.

He was constantly using void escape, constantly investigating the surrounding situation, and his mind was always on high alert. He was mentally and physically exhausted and planned to rest for a while.

"By the way!"

Pei Tianyu remembered something and said, "Some time ago, a Dao Ancestor Realm Eighth Level cultivator from the Dark Domain entered our territory and approached the Winterfrost Gate. We had a large number of scouts stationed near the Winterfrost Gate and discovered him early."

"We immediately dispatched three Dao Ancestor Realm Eighth Level cultivators, but unfortunately, this Dao Ancestor Realm Eighth Level cultivator escaped in the end."

"I'm telling you this… you should strengthen the defenses of the Winterfrost Gate later. You can transfer some formation experts from the Light Assembly to build a powerful formation. I've sent a message to Yuan Xu to station more scouts near the Winterfrost Gate."

"Uh…"

Jiang Han was stunned, and then his eyes turned cold. He stood up and said, "Thank you for your concern, Domain Ancestor. I'll go back later!"

Pei Tianyu thought for a moment and said, "You don't need to go back. Just send a message back. During this time, don't wander around except for Jade Void Mountain and Light Mountain. I suspect the Dark Domain might try to attack you!"

"Attack me?"

Jiang Han frowned. How could they attack him in the Light Domain's territory?

However, he immediately understood and asked, "Are there spies at the Dao Ancestor Realm Eighth Level?"

Jiang Han wasn't afraid of Dao Ancestor Realm Seventh Level cultivators; they couldn't kill him.

It was impossible for there to be spies at the Dao Ancestor Realm Ninth Level. They were all powerful figures and wouldn't sell their lives to the Dark Domain. The Light Assembly treated those Dao Ancestor Realm Ninth Level cultivators well, so the only ones who could attack Jiang Han were Dao Ancestor Realm Eighth Level cultivators.

Pei Tianyu pursed his lips and said, "Perhaps there are, but no one knows until they are exposed. I can only tell you one thing—we have an internal spy in the Dark Domain, who is at the Dao Ancestor Realm Eighth Level!"

"I understand!"

Jiang Han nodded slightly and said, "I won't wander around. Please rest assured, Domain Ancestor!"

Pei Tianyu waved his hand in satisfaction, and Jiang Han retreated.

Pei Tianyu arranged a manor for him on Jade Void Mountain, right next to his own. If anything happened, Pei Tianyu and the others would immediately notice and provide support.

Returning to the manor, Jiang Han felt restless!

Although his closest relatives were all on Light Mountain, many of his elders, friends, and brothers were at Winterfrost Mountain.

For example, Zhen Ji, Xiao Yu'er, Lei Ni Chang, and Qing Ning were all at the Winterfrost Gate. If anything happened, he would never have peace of mind.

He only stayed in the manor for the time it takes to burn an incense stick, then quietly used his void escape towards Light City.

It only took him a little over a day to reach Light City. He didn't reveal his presence but directly entered the city invisibly.

He kept Pei Tianyu's reminder in mind. It was natural to keep a low profile as much as possible, in case he was assassinated.

He didn't directly enter the city but went to Yan Hui Gang's office here to inquire about some information.

His figure appeared in Yan Hui Gang's hall, startling Yan Hui Gang. He smiled when he saw it was Jiang Han.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Just then, a cultivator walked in. He was stunned when he saw Jiang Han, then urgently reported, "Sect Leader Jiang, Commander Yan, we just received news that Young Master Qing Lin has gone down the mountain. He is currently at the Jade Orchid Pavilion in the city, and an elder is meeting with him!"

"Young Master Qing Lin?"

Jiang Han was stunned, then asked, "My little brat?"
