Wu Shattered Star River

Lei Ling instructed a maid to invite an elder from the Divine Witch Clan over.

This elder was related to Lei Ling's lineage through marriage, so their relationship was considered quite good.

That's how large clans operate, constantly intermarrying, creating deep entanglements with each other, which is the way for a large clan to survive for a long time.

The elder arrived, his battle prowess at the seventh level of Dao Ancestor Realm, giving him a decent status within the Divine Witch Clan.

Despite being at the seventh level of Dao Ancestor Realm, he was still very polite to Lei Ling. Although he was technically Lei Ling's elder, he didn't dare put on airs.

"Third Aunt-Grandfather!"

Lei Ling handed over a drawing, asking, "Have you ever seen this crystal before?"

The Divine Witch Clan elder took it and, after a few glances, a look of surprise appeared on his face. After examining it closely for a while, he said, "This seems to be a treasure? This old man seems to recall seeing it once before?"

Lei Ling and Jiang Han were immediately invigorated. Lei Ling asked, "Could you help me investigate it? I really need this treasure... Anything the Divine Witch Clan needs is negotiable."

Lei Ling didn't say it was for Jiang Han, which made Jiang Han think highly of him.

The Divine Witch Clan elder glanced at Lei Ling suspiciously, but didn't ask much. He stood up and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go check the clan treasury. If it's in there, this old man will retrieve it for you."

Lei Ling quickly rose and thanked him, "Thank you, Third Aunt-Grandfather!"

The Divine Witch Clan elder left, and Jiang Han and Lei Ling waited quietly in the manor.

Jiang Han's heart was in turmoil. Lei Ling smiled and comforted him, "Sect Leader Jiang, there's no need to worry, the problem shouldn't be too big."

Lei Ling's expression darkened as he asked, "Which Supreme Elder is it?"

The Divine Witch Clan elder said, "It's in Guang Zu's hands, and it's been in his possession for tens of thousands of years."

"Guang Zu?"

Jiang Han and Lei Ling exchanged a glance, and roughly guessed that it should be one of the Divine Witch Clan's three eighth-level Dao Ancestor Realm experts.

Jiang Han didn't dare to speak. Lei Ling said, "Is there any way to persuade Guang Zu to part with it? Any conditions are negotiable."

The Divine Witch Clan elder hesitated for a moment and said, "You should know something about Guang Zu's temperament, he's quite stubborn. I'll take you to see him together, but I'm not sure if it will work."

"Alright!"

Lei Ling gave a wry smile and followed the Divine Witch Clan elder out, Jiang Han quickly followed.

The Divine Witch Clan elder glanced at Jiang Han and said, "There's no need for him to come along, right?"

"It's fine!"

Lei Ling waved his hand and said, "He's a good brother of mine, let him come along and see."

The Divine Witch Clan elder didn't say much and led Lei Ling and Jiang Han towards a large manor in the back mountain.

Outside the manor, the Divine Witch Clan elder requested an audience. After waiting for a moment, the steward there led them inside.

"Sect Leader Jiang, Guang Zu has a very special status in the Divine Witch Clan. The prodigy who married Zhen Ge's second uncle is Guang Zu's great-granddaughter!" Before entering, Lei Ling transmitted a message to Jiang Han, saying, "Don't speak later, I'll communicate. If you offend this one, things will be very troublesome."

Jiang Han nodded and followed him inside.

The manor was very large. Jiang Han and the others were taken to a pavilion by a pool in the backyard.

An old man was lying on a recliner in the pavilion. Even when Lei Ling entered, he didn't stand up, only glanced at them indifferently.

"Greetings, Guang Zu!"

The Divine Witch Clan elder bowed, and Lei Ling followed suit, saying, "Greetings, Lord Guang!"

Guang Zu waved his hand and said indifferently, "What is it?"

Lei Ling gave the Divine Witch Clan elder a look, and he took out a drawing, asking, "Guang Zu, Lei Ling wants to request this treasure. I wonder if Guang Zu can bear to part with it. He says any conditions are negotiable."

Guang Zu glanced at the drawing, his eyes narrowed slightly. He scanned Lei Ling, then Jiang Han, and finally he sneered, saying, "Not selling, show them out!"

"Uh..."

Lei Ling and Jiang Han were stunned. They had thought it would be troublesome, but they didn't expect Guang Zu to not even give them a chance, directly refusing and even ordering them out.

The Divine Witch Clan elder had a bitter expression and didn't speak. Lei Ling became a little anxious and cupped his fist, saying, "Guang Zu, let's talk it over, we can discuss it slowly."

Guang Zu coldly glanced at Lei Ling and said, "What? Does your Lightning Clan want to forcibly seize this old man's treasure?"

Lei Ling's expression turned cold, but he didn't dare to argue back, saying, "I wouldn't dare!"

Guang Zu coldly snorted and said, "Then leave, this old man has said, I won't part with it!"

Lei Ling wanted to say something more, but Jiang Han pulled him back. This Guang Zu wouldn't listen to reason, and it was pointless for Lei Ling to continue speaking, it would only completely sour things.

Lei Ling cupped his fist and left with Jiang Han, the Divine Witch Clan elder followed them out.

After returning to the manor, the Divine Witch Clan elder said, "Lei Ling, what do you need this treasure for? What treasure does your Lightning Clan lack? Does this treasure... have any special properties?"

Lei Ling didn't know how to explain, so he could only casually brushed it off with a few words, and sent the elder away.

After sending him away, Lei Ling looked at Jiang Han and asked, "What to do?"

Jiang Han pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go, let's go back to Wind and Rain Manor first."

"Mm!"

Lei Ling nodded and said, "It might be better if Lei Yao came forward!"

"No!"

Jiang Han shook his head and said, "Let Lei Zhen come over, and see if Lei Zhen's influence is enough? If it's not enough... then we can only think of other ways."

"Call Zhen Ge?"

Lei Ling frowned. He didn't know the relationship between Lei Zhen and Jiang Han, and was thinking, how could Lei Zhen possibly come to intervene in this matter?

After all, Guang Zu's great-granddaughter was married to Lei Zhen's second uncle, and Guang Zu's temperament was stubborn and unyielding. Lei Zhen probably wouldn't come to get involved in this matter.

It would be purely thankless.

"Let's go back first!"

Lei Ling didn't say anything, and led Jiang Han away from Divine Witch City, teleporting all the way towards Wind and Rain Manor.

After teleporting for more than three days, the two returned to Wind and Rain Manor.

Jiang Han entered a manor, saw Lei Zhen with dark circles around his eyes and disheveled clothes, and was shocked, saying, "Damn, Lei Zhen, you're being a little too indulgent. If I had returned half a month later, you would have been exhausted."

"It's not that serious..."

Lei Zhen touched his nose, put on his clothes, and glanced at Lei Ling and Jiang Han, asking, "How is it? Did you gain anything?"

"Found it!"

Jiang Han wasn't polite with Lei Zhen and said, "But it's a little difficult to get it. It's in the hands of the Divine Witch Clan's Guang Zu. I need you to help me with this, this thing... is very important to me!"

"Oh?"

Lei Zhen was a little surprised. He pondered for a while, rubbed his face and stood up, saying, "In that case, let's go to the Divine Witch Clan. I'll lower my face and ask for it for you. If the Divine Witch Clan doesn't give me face, then don't blame me for turning hostile!"

"This..."

Lei Ling was stunned, not expecting Jiang Han to be so important in Lei Zhen's eyes, that he would be willing to fall out with the Divine Witch Clan to help Jiang Han.

"Lei Ling, call Lei Yao, Lei Qu!"

Lei Zhen walked outside, thought for a moment and said, "Also, send a message back to the Lightning Clan, call a few sect leaders to go together. Let them give me, Lei Zhen, some face, and help put pressure on the Divine Witch Clan. Is the small Divine Witch Clan rebelling?"
