Wu Shattered Star River

The moonlight of early winter was clear and cold, faint and soft, like flowing water. It filtered through the leaves and quietly spilled onto the grass, adorning the ground with dappled shadows.

Si Li stood with her back to Jiang Han, her graceful figure appearing even more delicate in the moonlight. Her unique aura stood out exceptionally in the cool night air.

"Jiang Han!"

Si Li's voice was pleasant to hear, yet cold: "Do you know why I sentenced you to over three hundred years?"

Jiang Han's eyes flickered. He vaguely guessed at something, but he wasn't sure. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss Li must have done it for my own good."

"I did it to save your life!"

Si Li turned her head, her expression serious, and said, "You killed so many people, and Mu Jian even lost his position as inspector because of it. Unless you stay on Flying Immortal Island for the rest of your life, with Ma Shankui constantly guarding you, you will die sooner or later. The Mu family and the Shentu family will definitely settle the score with you in secret!"

"You are a talent!"

Si Li continued, "I don't want to see a genius under my Sword Demon Mountain die an untimely death, so I sent you to Heavenly Chaos Island. At least it will be safer here, and they will have some reservations."

"My sentence of over three hundred years is to hope that you will cultivate in a low-key manner here, improving your realm and combat power. But you… you have disappointed me!"

"I…"

Jiang Han looked at the disappointed look in Si Li's eyes, and for a moment, he didn't know how to defend himself.

He understood Si Li's intentions. Si Li hoped that he would slowly reduce his sentence on Heavenly Chaos Island and cultivate in a low-key manner, improving his realm and strength. Only when he possessed powerful combat strength and the ability to protect himself should he act ostentatiously.

However, Si Li didn't quite understand his situation. He paused for a moment and said, "I also had no choice."

"No choice?"

Si Li stared at Jiang Han coldly and said, "Taking the risk to fight in the Golden Island battle was unavoidable? Entering the Merit Ranking was unavoidable? What's so good about the Merit Ranking? Are you in such a hurry to reduce your sentence? Once your strength is improved, wouldn't it be easy to reduce your sentence?"

"Most importantly!"

Si Li's tone became colder and colder, as if she felt he was hopeless: "Why did you go to the arena competition? Why did you have to show off and cause such a stir! Do you know how many people you offended this time?"

"Chunyu Yan was painstakingly cultivated by Azure Clothes Palace. You ruined Chunyu Yan's reputation, which is equivalent to offending the entire Enchantment Palace. And those dozens of young masters, behind them are all great forces. Anyone who comes out can crush you like an ant!"

"I know!"

Jiang Han sighed and said, "I understand everything you're saying, but… if I don't cause trouble, will no one kill me? A few days ago, when I left Heavenly Chaos Island, someone assassinated me!"

"Chunyu Yan has already made her stance clear, and I am already in the eye of the storm. If I don't cause trouble, countless people will still be staring at me. If I cause a stir, it will be safer!"

"As for entering the Merit Ranking, I'm not doing it to show off, nor am I doing it to reduce my sentence quickly. I have my own difficulties. I must enter the top ten of the Merit Ranking. I want to see City Lord Lan!"

"What's the difference between being targeted by a few major forces and being targeted by dozens of major forces? As you said, any expert from behind these major forces can easily crush me."

"Since that's the case, I'll make things big, make a scene that rocks the whole city. That way, I feel like I'll be safer. Perhaps those forces will have some reservations about touching me."

"I have no way back. If I want to survive, I can only keep myself in the eye of the storm, making everyone pay attention to me. That way, I will be safer and live longer!"

Jiang Han said a lot in one breath. Si Li listened carefully, and she fell silent.

She turned to look at the distant green mountains, pondering for a full incense stick's time before sighing softly, "From now on, you must not leave Heavenly Chaos Island. I will ask Elder Feng and the Shadow Guards to say something to prevent anyone from attacking you in the dark. That's all I can do. Whether you can survive or not depends on your fate."

Jiang Han bowed and said, "Thank you, Miss Li!"

Si Li turned to look at Jiang Han and said again, "My grandfather said that the human race's great calamity is approaching. I just hope to preserve some elite seeds for the human race as much as possible. Chunyu Yan, don't provoke her again in the future. Azure Clothes Palace… you can't afford to offend them!"

"Can't afford to offend them?"

Jiang Han's lips turned bitter. Jiang Li is in Azure Clothes Palace. He has to provoke them even if he can't afford to.

He felt that he was destined to be an enemy of Azure Clothes Palace and that there would be a great battle.

"By the way!"

Si Li stared at Jiang Han suspiciously and said, "Why is your realm improving so quickly? Have you taken some crooked path? The path of cultivation requires a solid foundation, otherwise it will eventually be like a castle in the air, collapsing with a crash."

Jiang Han bowed again and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Miss Li. I will pay attention!"

Si Li didn't say anything more. Her body flew up like a light goose, disappearing into the distance in the blink of an eye.

Si Li left, but Jiang Han didn't rush back. Instead, he stood there in a daze, pondering.

Si Li's worries were not without reason. Those dozens of young masters were scammed out of over 30 billion by him and mainly became the laughing stock, so they must have held a grudge against him.

Behind these young masters are all great forces. Anyone who comes out can crush him.

The problem is…

What can he do?

With Chunyu Yan's words, he has already been targeted by countless young masters. In addition, Si Li is protecting him, so he is being targeted by another group of people. He also has to fight on the Merit Ranking. How is it possible not to attract attention?

As he said, since there are so many enemies anyway, he doesn't care about having a few more.

The bigger the stir he causes, the safer he will be. People are not allowed to be killed on Heavenly Chaos Island. Once discovered, Lan Lin will not sit idly by.

"Well… I definitely can't leave Heavenly Chaos Island for a short time!"

Jiang Han had a headache. He was thinking of going to the Devil Sea again to raise his realm to the ninth level of the Reincarnation Realm. Now it seems that he can't go out for the time being, otherwise someone will definitely assassinate him.

Last time on the island reef, if it hadn't been for the thunder, he might have died in the surprise attack. If someone assassinates him again next time and sends a Celestial Human Realm expert, he will surely die.

"Seize the time to enter the top ten of the Merit Ranking!"

Jiang Han pondered for a while and made up his mind.

If he enters the top ten of the Merit Ranking, it will definitely attract the attention of the high-level officials of Heavenly Chaos City. Then he will be safer. With the high-level officials of Heavenly Chaos City paying attention to him, other forces will not dare to make any small moves.

"Go back!"

Having made up his mind, Jiang Han stopped thinking and quickly went down the mountain, returning to the small courtyard.

After returning, he found Jiang Lang and asked Jiang Lang to arrange for someone to spread the word. After listening, Jiang Lang happily took Lin Ye out, and soon a rumor spread throughout Heavenly Chaos City.

Jiang Han released the word that he would definitely enter the top ten of the Merit Ranking within two months. If he doesn't make it into the top ten within two months, he will run naked around Pear Blossom Courtyard a hundred times.

As soon as this was spread, there was another uproar in the city.

The top ten of the Merit Ranking is not so easy to enter, and what is Pear Blossom Courtyard?

That is where Chunyu Yan lives. Jiang Han wants to run naked outside Pear Blossom Courtyard? It's hard not to cause a sensation!

"Ah… you fat bastard, I'm going to chop you to death!"

Jiang Han went berserk after receiving the news, chasing Jiang Lang with a cleaver. He only asked Jiang Lang to spread the word about entering the top ten, but he didn't say anything about running naked around Pear Blossom Courtyard…
