Wu Shattered Star River

"Bang!"

On Star Peak, Ning Xie, upon receiving the news, shattered a table with a single palm strike.

He stood up in a fit of rage and said, "Has Lan Lin gone mad? Is he willing to make enemies of so many forces for the sake of Jiang Han?"

Inside the room, Jiang Ya and several other young masters looked grim.

Jiang Ya's eyes darted around as he said, "Brother Xie, what do we do? If Jiang Han really becomes the young city lord, we'll never be able to vent our anger!"

Jiang Ya wasn't just worried about venting his anger; Jiang Lang and Jiang Han were closer than blood brothers.

If Jiang Han gained power, Jiang Lang would rise with the tide, posing a significant threat to him.

"Of course, we can't let that happen!"

Ning Xie's eyes flashed, and he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "I will use the Heaven-Rank Communication Talisman to report this matter to my grandfather and have my second granduncle come here."

"Mm!"

Jiang Ya nodded and said, "Anyway, with Feng Yin taking the lead, can the Divine Ruins Palace really sit idly by if we make a scene?"

"Buzz ~"

Ning Xie took out a golden talisman, wrote on it, and the golden talisman transformed into a paper kite and flew away.

This was the highest level of communication talisman, worth over a hundred million.

Ning Xie wouldn't use it unless it was an urgent matter.

This talisman would reach Star Pavilion in just one day.

If Star Pavilion reacted quickly, it would take only two or three days to reach the Divine Ruins Palace via the Undying Hall's super teleportation array and then come to Heavenly Chaos Island.

"That's right!"

Jiang Ya suddenly remembered something and said, "Jiang Han's clan is in Yun Province.

It is said that he has a very good relationship with the Cloud Dream Pavilion Master.

Should we send someone to capture them?"

"Fool!"

Ning Xie glanced at Jiang Ya and rebuked him in a cold voice, "If you do such a despicable thing, the Jiang family will look down on you.

If this order is sent back, your grandfather will definitely know, and you will lose a lot of points.

If you want to win, win fair and square.

Tricks and schemes won't lead to great things."

Jiang Ya's face turned pale, and he thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Yes, Brother Xie is right.

I was a little too anxious."

"Ning Yun!"

Ning Xie turned his gaze to a person beside him and said, "Go meet Ye Luo and tell him that I have already sent a message back and asked him to invite the higher-ups of the Eternal Night Palace to come forward."

"The bigger the commotion this time, the greater the chance that the Divine Ruins Palace will intervene.

As long as the Divine Ruins Palace sends someone, they can suppress Lan Lin!"

"Okay!"

A young man flashed and left the courtyard, descending Star Peak and heading towards Eternal Night Peak.

It wasn't just Ning Yun; countless messengers were moving quickly on each peak.

Tonight, the peaks of Heavenly Chaos Island were destined to be sleepless.

Golden paper kites continuously soared into the sky, and at least dozens of Heaven-Rank Communication Talismans, worth over a hundred million, were used tonight.

Countless ordinary paper kites also flew away, spreading the news here to all parts of the Chaotic Star Sea and the Nine Provinces Continent.

Sword Demon Peak!

Si Li had already regained consciousness, but several altars had been sealed.

She was confined to the courtyard where she lived, guarded by an old woman in the Heaven-Human Realm.

Si Li didn't make a fuss; she sat quietly under a large tree in the courtyard, drinking tea.

After a stick of incense's time, the old woman guarding outside walked in.

She reached out and placed her hand on Si Li's shoulder, circulating her Xuan power to undo the seal on Si Li's altar.

Si Li still didn't move, not even glancing at the old woman.

The old woman looked at Si Li, who was cold and aloof, and sighed, saying, "Lan Lin just announced that he wants to take Jiang Han as his personal disciple and appoint him as the young city lord.

A ceremony will be held in ten days to celebrate the acceptance of his disciple."

After hearing the news, Si Li's expression didn't change much; she just pursed her lips and said, "That's good too.

Since Sword Demon Mountain can't protect him, it's good for him to go to the Heavenly Chaos Army."

The old woman frowned, thought for a moment, and whispered, "Miss Li, do you… like Jiang Han?"

Si Li raised her head, glanced at the old woman indifferently, and said, "In your eyes, do men and women have to be in love?

The three races are eager to make trouble, and the human race is happily fighting among themselves.

It's not easy for a prodigy to appear, so why do you have to stifle him?"

"The future of the human race will never be in the hands of those mediocre people who only know how to scheme for petty gains.

Those geniuses and prodigies who rise against the odds are the pillars that support the human race and keep it standing!"

The old woman was silent, not knowing what to say.

She sighed softly and turned to leave.

The moonlight still sprinkled down like water.

Si Li sat alone under the big tree, and the dappled moonlight shone through the leaves, making Si Li's figure hazy.

Only those eyes, as black as pearls, became even brighter.

… …

Jiang Han guessed that Heavenly Chaos City was the last to know that Lan Lin was going to take him as a disciple.

He took a bath, healed his injuries for a while, and the noise outside continued.

He Ming told him to stay here, and he didn't dare to go out to watch, so he could only heal his injuries while waiting.

Later, Feng Yun and the others retreated, and the city calmed down, but Jiang Han still didn't go out to gather information; he just continued to wait.

After dawn, two maids brought breakfast.

The two maids felt even more respectful towards him, and Jiang Han then inquired about the outside situation from the two maids.

The two maids recounted what happened last night and then bowed down, saying, "Congratulations, Young Master Jiang.

The City Lord will accept you as his disciple in ten days and appoint you as the young city lord."

"Ah?"

Jiang Han was stunned.

Although Jiang Lang had joked before that he had comprehended Heavenly Slaughter, and Lan Lin might take him as a disciple, now that it had actually happened, he was a little dazed.

He didn't resist it much.

He had comprehended two of Lan Lin's Seven Styles of the God of Slaughter, and Lan Lin was equivalent to having imparted the Dao to him.

Moreover, Lan Lin had let He Ming bring so many Void Realm experts to pick him up, saving him from Shen Tianbao's sword and helping him kill Shen Tianbao.

This was a great kindness, and Jiang Han was grateful in his heart.

What stunned Jiang Han was…

He had comprehended Heavenly Slaughter for more than a day or two.

Lan Lin hadn't made any moves before, but now he was suddenly so good to him?

Not only did he send more than a dozen experts to pick him up, but he also helped him bear everything, clean up his messes, and now he wanted to take him as a disciple and appoint him as the young city lord.

This made Jiang Han very puzzled.

Also, did Lan Lin know his mother?

Countless thoughts arose, and he couldn't sit still anymore.

He got up and said, "Please tell Steward He that I want to request an audience with the City Lord."

"Yes!"

A maid quickly went down to inform him, and after waiting for a stick of incense's time, Steward He came with a smile, leaning on his crutches.

Jiang Han quickly saluted, and Steward He personally helped him up, saying, "Jiang Han, from now on, you will be the young city lord.

Your status and position are different, so you don't need to salute this old servant anymore."

Jiang Han's face was a little embarrassed, and he scratched his head and said, "I am shallow in talent and learning, and my combat power is low.

How dare I covet the position of young city lord?

Moreover, countless people will be unconvinced, right?"

"Hahaha!"

He Ming laughed and said, "Less than twenty years old, rising from a humble background, now already in the Heaven-Human Realm.

In the battle of Black Shark Island, he angrily killed nine Heaven-Human Realm experts."

"The Young Palace Master, who was cultivated for many years by the Qingyi Palace, died under your blade.

With your heaven-defying posture, how many people in the entire world can compare?

Who dares to be unconvinced!"

"Jiang Han!"

He Ming said seriously, "Don't underestimate yourself.

Your talent and combat power are more than enough to secure the position of young city lord, even… it's a bit of a disservice to you!"

"The City Lord asked me to bring a message, he didn't seek your opinion on the matter of accepting a disciple, I hope you don't mind.

Of course… if you are unwilling, he will never force you!"

Now that things had been said to this point, what else could Jiang Han say?

He quickly bowed and said, "Being able to become a disciple under the City Lord is Jiang Han's good fortune!"
