Wu Shattered Star River
#539 - Chapter 539: The Arrow is on the String
Sky Chaos City!
Inside a large courtyard, Gu Qingtian soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of white light as he flew towards the backyard of the City Lord's mansion.
Since returning from Undead Valley, Gu Qingtian's cultivation had been progressing well, reaching the peak of Void Shattering.
He had been entrusted with important responsibilities by Lan Lin and was now the head of the Grand Commanders, in charge of several departments with real power.
Gu Qingtian understood the rules well and had rarely done anything out of line in recent years.
However, flying directly into the backyard of the City Lord's mansion was considered overstepping his boundaries.
Currently, within the Sky Chaos Army, only He Ming was allowed to fly into the backyard of the City Lord's mansion.
Lan Lin was brewing tea, with the Iron-Eating Beast beside him gnawing on bamboo.
Seeing Gu Qingtian flying down, Lan Lin paused his action of reaching for the teapot and turned to look at Gu Qingtian, waiting for his explanation.
Gu Qingtian was filled with excitement, kneeling on one knee, his voice slightly choked as he said, "City Lord, we just received a message that the Young Master has emerged!"
"Moreover, he single-handedly suppressed two Earth Immortals, sending Feng Yang and Feng Lu into the abyss of spacetime, and also killed more than a dozen Void Shattering cultivators."
"Uh…"
A hint of emotion appeared on Lan Lin's usually calm face.
The Iron-Eating Beast beside him stopped gnawing on bamboo, its large eyes with two white circles staring at Gu Qingtian, looking adorably foolish.
"Gurgle, gurgle~"
The tea water in front of Lan Lin boiled, the lid of the teapot humming, and steam rising, but Lan Lin ignored it.
He was stunned for a moment, a smile appearing on his face, and then said, "Issue an order to hold a banquet tonight, inviting all Peak Lords and Grand Commanders, we will not return until we are drunk."
"Yes!"
A look of joy appeared on Gu Qingtian's face as he stood up.
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "City Lord, with what reason should we invite the Peak Lords?"
"With what reason?"
Lan Lin said with a smile, "Just say that this City Lord caught a lot of fish today and is in a good mood, inviting everyone to eat fish."
"Haha, good!"
Gu Qingtian summoned a person and gave a few instructions, and that person hurried away.
Lan Lin picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and continued, "Where is He Ming? Hasn't he returned yet? Does the information say how Jiang Han suppressed those two Earth Immortals?"
Gu Qingtian replied, "The message was personally sent back by the Chief Steward, who said that he has already set off to return and is preparing to use the Evernight Palace's teleportation array to return."
"He said that Jiang Han has evolved a very powerful Dao technique that can cause spacetime distortion, covering a radius of a hundred miles, and that he and Feng Yang and Feng Lu could not withstand it."
"If Jiang Han were to attack him, he would also be sent into the abyss of spacetime.
He suspects… that Jiang Han has comprehended the profound mysteries of spacetime distortion and has evolved an Ultimate Dao Technique!"
Speaking of "Ultimate Dao Technique," a hint of envy appeared in Gu Qingtian's eyes.
He paused for a moment and continued, "City Lord, is the Young Master's evolved technique an Ultimate Dao Technique?"
Lan Lin's eyes flickered, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "I didn't witness it personally, so it's hard to judge.
However, being able to suppress Earth Immortals, and even He Ming can't withstand it, then the possibility is very high, this kid… is really strong!"
Gu Qingtian said again, "The Chief Steward's message said to let the Young Master return to Sky Chaos City and have you take him to join the Divine Ruins Palace, but the Young Master refused."
"The Young Master said that he only has one master in his life, and that is you.
The Young Master has now left alone, and the Chief Steward said that he is going to Heavenly Dragon Island, and the Chief Steward couldn't dissuade him!"
"Hahaha!"
Lan Lin suddenly burst into laughter, the sound echoing throughout half of the City Lord's mansion.
This caused many servants and guards in the City Lord's mansion to look at each other in confusion, as Lan Lin was a very reserved person.
This was the first time they had heard Lan Lin laugh so heartily in so many years.
A smile appeared on Gu Qingtian's face, and he seemed to have thought of something, asking, "City Lord, will the Young Master be in danger going to Heavenly Dragon Island?
After all, Feng Yin and Mi Ling are both there."
"It doesn't matter!"
Lan Lin waved his hand and said, "If my calculations are correct, this time Jiang Han's matter with Qingyi Palace should come to a proper end."
Gu Qingtian's eyes flashed, and he asked with ecstasy, "Is the City Lord preparing to take action?"
"What action am I taking?"
Lan Lin said speechlessly, "I can't leave Sky Chaos City, don't worry about it… just have people closely monitor the situation on Heavenly Dragon Island."
…
The situation on Heavenly Dragon Island was very delicate!
Mi Ling and Feng Yin, leading a group of Earth Immortals, had arrived on a deserted island near Heavenly Dragon Island, but they did not immediately attack.
This was because Mi Ling and Feng Yin had received news that Heavenly Dragon Island had already activated its island-protecting formation, and all the Earth Immortals from the Inverse Immortal Pavilion had been teleported over, preparing for a desperate battle.
It was said that the Inverse Immortal Pavilion had invited some reinforcements, with the number of Earth Immortals reaching twenty-eight, which was about the same as their side.
Moreover, Tuoba Tian Ce was very powerful, ranking among the top ten on the Heaven Ranking.
This made Mi Ling and Feng Yin somewhat hesitant and not in a hurry to attack.
Today, they received news from Spacetime Island, which made Mi Ling and Feng Yin even more caught in a dilemma.
Jiang Han had actually come out?
And his strength had greatly increased, sending Feng Yang and Feng Lu into the abyss of spacetime!
Feng Yang and Feng Lu were at the bottom of the list of Earth Immortals in Qingyi Palace, but they were still Earth Immortals.
The two falling into the abyss of spacetime was basically equivalent to death, which made Feng Yin and Mi Ling feel extremely pained.
They were now coming out in full force to fight the Inverse Immortal Pavilion, and this battle could not tolerate any mistakes, otherwise it would be eternal doom.
Now that there was a problem in the rear, Jiang Han had come out and could stab them in the back at any time.
This made Mi Ling and Feng Yin feel like they had a fishbone stuck in their throats, caught between advancing and retreating.
"We can't hesitate any longer!"
On the beach on the north side of the island, Feng Yin and Mi Ling stood side by side, the sea breeze blowing, their long skirts fluttering, and their temples were blown a little messy.
Feng Yin's eyes became firm, and she looked in the direction of Heavenly Dragon Island and said, "The arrow is on the string and must be fired.
Jiang Han's matter can only be put aside for now, no matter what, this battle for Heavenly Dragon Island must be fought."
"Otherwise, the Shark and Sable Immortals and others are afraid that they will soon change their minds.
So many of us have come over, and if we do nothing and go back in a sorry state, we will become the laughing stock of the world."
Mi Ling understood Feng Yin's meaning.
Mi Ling was worried that if this battle could not be won quickly, or if they lost.
Then Jiang Han would wreak havoc in the rear, such as slaughtering on Heavenly Palace Island, and then they would be attacked from both sides.
If things went wrong, the remaining Overlord-level forces might join in, and if several Overlord-level forces joined forces, Qingyi Palace would be doomed.
The act of beating a drowning dog has been done by major forces many times in history.
Qingyi Palace was a huge cake, and if there was a chance to bite off a large piece of meat, the nearby Overlord-level forces would be tempted.
At this moment, Mi Ling suddenly felt a little regret…
If she had known, she shouldn't have left Jiang Li's wisp of soul, Jiang Han wouldn't have declared war on Qingyi Palace, and so many things wouldn't have happened later.
Mi Ling never expected that because of a Celestial Human Realm youth, Qingyi Palace, a top five Overlord-level force in the Chaotic Star Sea, would actually be reduced to a point where it could be destroyed at any time.
"Never mind!"
After a moment, Mi Ling made up her mind.
Feng Yin was right, the arrow was on the string, and they had to fire it.
They couldn't attack in one go, and if the time was dragged on for too long, those honorary elders would probably have second thoughts and develop the intention of retreating.
Once an external force left, they could only retreat in a sorry state.
At that time, Tuoba Tian Ce might take the initiative to invade Qingyi Palace's territory, which would cause a chain reaction and attract other forces to join forces in the attack.
Whether they fought or retreated, Jiang Han would attack anyway, so they should ignore Jiang Han for now.
They should first finish this battle well, and as long as they established Qingyi Palace's reputation, they could at least deter the other forces from making any rash moves.
"Pass down the order!"
Mi Ling shouted in a deep voice, "Mobilize everything and attack Heavenly Dragon Island!"
