Wu Shattered Star River

With the arrival of the genius prodigies from the Immortal-level forces, the island-seizing battle between the Human and Demon races became increasingly fierce.

The previously low morale on the Human side gradually rose, attracting even more prodigies to Tianluan City.

The Human and Demon races fought fiercely, constantly vying for each island in a back-and-forth struggle.

Due to the arrival of the Immortal-level prodigies, the number of islands occupied by the Human race no longer decreased, but instead slowly increased.

The Demon race slowed down their offensive momentum, mainly focusing on defense. The Human race, on the other hand, was in high spirits, with five or six teams setting out every day to compete for the Golden Islands.

The identities of Young Master Qing, Young Master Yan, and Miss Meng were revealed. Xuan Yuanqing, needless to say, was the First Holy Son of the Divine Ruins Palace.

Young Master Yan's full name was Ji Fa Yan, the top-ranked Holy Son of the Undying Hall, and a direct descendant of the Hall Master. Miss Meng's full name was Fang Mengyao, the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion.

All three were at the High Stage of the Void Breaking Realm, with combat power comparable to Earth Immortals. With their treasures and various strange Daoist techniques and divine arts, they could easily suppress ordinary Earth Immortals.

Peerless geniuses!

These three were the most outstanding talents in this world, not only of noble birth but also with top-notch talent and combat power.

Unfortunately, neither Xuan Yuanqing nor Ji Fa Yan could marry women from outside their factions, and even if they did, they could only be concubines.

Similarly, Fang Mengyao could not marry out; even if she did, the man would have to join the Fang family.

Therefore, top young ladies like Yue Lianyi, Qin Shuang, and Bai Luan had basically given up on the idea of marrying Xuan Yuanqing or Ji Fa Yan, and people like Taishu Ye and Qin Zhan had not pursued Fang Mengyao either.

Of course…

While the top young masters and ladies were not interested, the young masters and ladies from small and medium-sized families were very keen.

For example, some young ladies from small families were very willing to be concubines. Marrying Xuan Yuanqing or Ji Fa Yan would give their families a chance to take off, and they could soar to the top and become phoenixes.

The young masters from those small families even dreamed of joining the Fang family. Not only would they win the heart of a beauty, but they could also secretly take care of their families and help them rise up…

There were also some smart people who didn't focus on the top three young masters and ladies but instead targeted the other young masters and ladies brought by Xuan Yuanqing, Ji Fa Yan, and Fang Mengyao.

The three Immortal-level forces sent ten people: four from the Divine Ruins Palace and three each from the Undying Hall and the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion.

The other seven were not as famous as Xuan Yuanqing and the others, and their combat power was not as high, but they were still young masters and ladies from the Immortal-level forces, all outstanding individuals.

Therefore, recently, when Xuan Yuanqing and the others went into battle, many young masters and ladies would follow. They fought very bravely, risking their lives, hoping to attract their attention.

If Lan Lin's previous plan was to throw out a secret manual to attract countless young martial artists to compete for it,

now that the top prodigies of the three Immortal-level forces had entered the scene, it had a very guiding effect.

Many young people with passion and a sense of righteousness followed in the footsteps of Xuan Yuanqing and the others, shedding blood and fighting for the sake of resisting the three races.

Jiang Han had been in seclusion recently, and had not participated in a single island-seizing battle since returning from Tianlong Island, which had caused a lot of dissatisfaction.

In addition, some people were stirring up trouble, so more and more people were criticizing Jiang Han.

There were many people stirring up trouble, some were forces that had grudges against Jiang Han before, some were forces that had been attacked by Jiang Han, and some were opportunists who followed the trend and spoke coldly…

The leader among them was Young Master Yan, Ji Fa Yan!

During the Battle of Tianlong Island, Di Changfeng, an elder from the Undying Hall, came forward to support Qingyi Palace and suppress Jiang Han.

In the end, the Palace Master of the Divine Ruins Palace conveyed a sentence, causing Di Changfeng to cut off his own arm and leave in disgrace.

Although Di Changfeng said he came in his personal capacity, he was an elder of the Undying Hall, and the reputation of the Undying Hall was inevitably affected.

The people of the Undying Hall did not dare to blame the Palace Master of the Divine Ruins Palace, nor did they dare to openly vent their anger on Xuan Yuanqing. They could only put this debt on Jiang Han's head, so it was understandable that Ji Fa Yan disliked Jiang Han.

Ji Fa Yan had repeatedly ridiculed Jiang Han in public, and a group of followers around him added fuel to the fire. In addition, forces that had grudges against Jiang Han fanned the flames, and the wind suddenly turned in one direction.

Jiang Han actually had many supporters, but the Ancient Demon Three Races had been here for so long, and Jiang Han had not participated in a single island-seizing battle, so they couldn't say anything…

It wasn't that Jiang Han didn't want to participate, it was that Lan Lin was suppressing him!

Jiang Han himself didn't know what was happening outside. Recently, he had been cultivating in Leishan.

He was continuously drawing down heavenly lightning to temper his body while absorbing the power of the Great Dao to construct his altar.

Some time ago, he comprehended some laws of the Thunder Great Dao, and now the speed of absorbing the power of the Great Dao had increased threefold. Naturally, he was seizing every minute to cultivate, hoping to quickly improve his realm and construct a nine-layered altar.

……

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, another half a year had passed, and Tianluan City was bustling with activity during this half year.

The entire Human race's attention was focused here, and most of the top geniuses and prodigies of the Human race had come here.

The elites of the Ancient Demon Three Races and the elites of the Human race had been fighting continuously here, repeatedly vying for islands. In half a year, both sides had suffered heavy casualties.

The Human race had lost dozens of geniuses and prodigies, including a young master from the Divine Ruins Palace and a young lady from the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion.

Both of these people were less than thirty years old and were top geniuses who had reached the Void Breaking Realm.

The Ancient Demon Three Races had also suffered many losses. Of the Ancient Demon Three Races' prodigies ranked in the top ten on the list that Lan Lin gave Jiang Han, three had died in battle.

However, the top geniuses and prodigies of the Human and Demon races, such as Yu Fei Hua, Xuan Yuanqing, Ji Fa Yan, Fang Mengyao, etc., had all survived.

These were all treasures of the super forces of the Human and Demon races, and they all had sacred artifacts and various self-defense methods, making it very difficult to kill them.

The Barbarian and Demon races took advantage of the situation. Although they did not send out top experts, the Human and Demon races were originally evenly matched, and with the addition of the Barbarian and Demon races, the Human race was naturally at a disadvantage.

Recently, more and more geniuses and elites of the Human race had died, and the atmosphere in Tianluan City had become more and more oppressive.

Some people began to slowly retreat, after all, nothing remained after death.

Lan Lin erected a Sacred Soul Monument outside Tianluan City, where the names of warriors above the Heaven-Human Realm who died in battle could be engraved. In the past six months, more than two hundred names had been added to it…

Jiang Han had not shown his face for half a year, and many people had already forgotten him. More people showed disdain when Jiang Han was mentioned, and some even spat on the ground.

“Whoosh!”

On this day, a warship flew back and landed outside Tianluan City.

A team of Tianluan soldiers probably received the news early and quickly went to the warship to pick up the warriors one by one.

All of those warriors were seriously injured. Three hundred people went, but now less than fifty had returned, and almost everyone was injured.

In the eastern sky, an old woman flashed and landed on the warship.

Soon, she flew out with a woman in coarse linen clothes covered in blood, with one arm broken, and headed straight for Sword Demon Peak.

Half an hour later, a fat man came to the foot of Leishan and shouted anxiously outside the clouds: "Jiang Han, are you still not coming out of seclusion? Your wife is about to be hacked to death by the Demon race!"
