Wu Shattered Star River

Jiang Han and Pei Sui descended from the city on Destiny Mountain. The mountain held a Taoist temple, while the city below was heavily secularized, offering everything imaginable.

Jiang Han and Pei Sui found a brothel in the city. Pei Sui, with his abundant wealth, hired a group of top courtesans to celebrate for Jiang Han.

Midway through the banquet, Ning Chong and several young masters from the Mu and Yu families主动找上门来了. These young masters were clearly there for Jiang Han, hoping to inquire about what the Supreme God of Destiny had told him.

Jiang Han casually explained a few things, and the group of young masters looked at him with envy.

Perhaps it was because the Supreme God of Destiny had instructed Jiang Han, but the young masters from the Mu family were exceptionally warm and friendly towards him.

Moreover, Jiang Han's ability to enter the final checkpoint and the Xuan Tian Temple inside greatly impressed the group of young masters, who all developed intentions of befriending him.

Ancestor Xu instructed Jiang Han and Pei Sui to befriend disciples from the three major forces, and now that the disciples from these forces were proactively seeking their acquaintance, the two naturally wouldn't refuse.

Especially Pei Sui, who, born into a wealthy family, possessed a natural talent for building relationships.

Pei Sui decided to stay in the city, sending out invitations and hosting banquets for the young masters and ladies of the three major forces every day, spending money like water.

Pei Sui was naturally fond of such banquets and revelry, but Jiang Han found it unbearable.

Pei Sui dragged him to feast and drink every day, indulging in nightly revels, which gave him a headache, but he couldn't refuse and could only endure it.

This endurance lasted for a month!

A month later, news came from the mountain that Mu Qingchen had been teleported out. Ancestor Xu sent a message asking Jiang Han and Pei Sui to go up the mountain.

Jiang Han felt uneasy and somewhat afraid of seeing Mu Qingchen. But he knew he couldn't escape and would have to face it sooner or later, so he braced himself and went up the mountain.

Upon reaching the mountain, Ancestor Xu led Pei Zhu, Pei Sui, and Jiang Han to the Taiyi Hall. The cultivators from the Sea of Destruction and the Gate of Life had already arrived. Jiang Han entered and saw Mu Qingchen standing behind Daoist Zheng Yi, her expression cold.

As soon as Jiang Han walked in, Mu Qingchen's gaze fell upon him, her eyes like knives, filled with inexplicable emotions. Jiang Han felt a chill in his heart but could only pretend to be nonchalant.

"Hahaha!"

Ancestor Xu laughed as he entered, glanced at Mu Qingchen, and cupped his fist towards Daoist Zheng Yi, saying, "Congratulations, Daoist. Qingchen's vitality is surging, and her cultivation has improved greatly. It seems that the ninth level of the Dao Ancestor Realm is just around the corner. Destiny Mountain will soon give birth to a second Saber Daoist."

Daoist Zheng Yi was in a good mood, stroking his long beard and humbly saying a few words of modesty, while Mu Qingchen bowed slightly in return.

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

Jiang Han, Pei Zhu, and Pei Sui all congratulated Mu Qingchen, who returned their greetings one by one. Her expression was relatively gentle when she greeted Pei Zhu and Pei Sui, but Jiang Han felt a chill when she greeted him.

Daoist Zheng Yi hosted a banquet to celebrate for Mu Qingchen. Jiang Han sat quietly, hardly saying a word.

Mu Qingchen didn't look at him, but Jiang Han could still see her occasionally glancing at him from the corner of her eye, her gaze filled with coldness, making Jiang Han feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

It was not easy to wait until the end of the banquet. Jiang Han was about to stay with Ancestor Xu when Daoist Zheng Yi suddenly spoke, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, please stay a while. This old Daoist has something to discuss with you!"

Ancestor Xu exchanged a glance with Jiang Han, winked at him, and then said, "Then I will go back first. Jiang Han, you must speak well with the Daoist and not be impolite!"

Pei Sui and Pei Zhu were a little puzzled but didn't ask any further questions, and they all bid farewell and left.

After all the cultivators had left, Daoist Zheng Yi waved his hand, dismissing some of the higher-ups of Destiny Mountain, leaving only him and Mu Qingchen in the hall.

Jiang Han felt inexplicably flustered. Was Daoist Zheng Yi going to avenge Mu Qingchen? Did Mu Qingchen even tell Daoist Zheng Yi about this?

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, don't be nervous. Please, sit!"

Daoist Zheng Yi smiled and waved his hand at Jiang Han, who cupped his fist and sat down. He didn't dare to look at Mu Qingchen but instead looked at Daoist Zheng Yi and said, "Daoist, what are your instructions? As long as Jiang Han can do it, I will not hesitate!"

Jiang Han first adopted a humble posture, hoping that Daoist Zheng Yi wouldn't make trouble for him.

"Uh..."

Jiang Han was stunned. He thought Daoist Zheng Yi was going to make trouble for him, but he didn't expect it to be about fulfilling the agreement.

Jiang Han had already forgotten about that agreement and didn't take it seriously, treating it as a joke.

He still had a little self-awareness!

What was he? A small martial artist from a lower world, with some ingenious tricks, not a true powerhouse.

Mu Qingchen was a descendant of the Supreme God of Destiny, the young sect master of Destiny Mountain, and a powerhouse at the eighth level of the Dao Ancestor Realm.

Moreover, having broken the chess formation, she had a very high probability of becoming a ninth-level Dao Ancestor Realm powerhouse in the future, and even a super powerful ninth-level Dao Ancestor Realm.

Furthermore!

He was already married, with many wives and concubines, and many children. How could he be worthy of Mu Qingchen?

Therefore, Jiang Han had never thought about marrying Mu Qingchen. He only said it casually because he thought it was an illusionary formation at the time, but he didn't expect Daoist Zheng Yi to bring it up so solemnly.

He was secretly happy. It seemed that Daoist Zheng Yi valued the reputation of Destiny Mountain? Or was it because the Supreme God of Destiny had given him guidance, so he particularly valued him?

Of course!

He understood Daoist Zheng Yi's meaning. Daoist Zheng Yi didn't want to fulfill the agreement. Mu Qingchen would be a pillar of Destiny Mountain in the future, one of its strongest combat forces. How could he be willing to marry her to Jiang Han?

"Daoist Zheng Yi wants to save face and doesn't want to be criticized by the world for Destiny Mountain not keeping its word? So he wants to discuss it with me and resolve this matter peacefully?"

Jiang Han understood. He pondered for a moment, stood up, and said, "Daoist, you are too serious. I am well aware of my own limitations. Jiang is from a humble background, with insignificant combat power, like the light of a firefly. Miss Qingchen is of noble birth, with powerful combat power, and her future is limitless, like the light of the bright moon. How dare Jiang Han have such extravagant hopes?"

"Uh..."

Daoist Zheng Yi was taken aback. Although Jiang Han's words were very good, very humble, and praised Mu Qingchen in every sentence, why did it feel wrong to hear them?

If outsiders heard it, wouldn't it confirm that Mu Qingchen looked down on Jiang Han, so she was going back on her word and forcibly breaking the agreement?

This would affect Mu Qingchen's reputation and the reputation of Destiny Mountain.
