Wu Shattered Star River

From Taoyuan Mountain, Liu Ming'er, Jiang Han, and the others emerged from the Boundary River in single file.

The group did not linger in Taoyuan Mountain. Liu Ming'er left behind several Great Commanders and teleported the rest to Qingwang City.

Jiang Han did not close the gate within the Boundary River, as Liu Ming'er would later arrange for the handling of prisoners of war.

The Southern Domain army commanders dispersed, and Liu Ming'er instructed Jiang Han and the others to reside in the inn first, while she flew to Myriad Flowers Valley to report on the Star Dust Realm.

Half an hour after the group entered the inn, a woman clad in fiery red armor, exuding heroic spirit, walked in.

"Monarch Feng Yi!"

Jiang Han, Ma Ji, and the others quickly stood up. Jiang Han said with some guilt, "You have suffered!"

Monarch Feng Yi smiled, not at all concerned. She asked, "Is the matter resolved? Was it smooth sailing?"

"It was relatively smooth!"

Jiang Han nodded and said, "The Barbarians have been suppressed, and the connecting passage to the Divine-Demon Battlefield has been sealed. Currently, the Barbarian, Demon, and Monster races of the Star Dust Realm have all been captured and locked away, awaiting the Southern Domain army to take over."

"That's good!"

A smile appeared on Monarch Feng Yi's face. Although there were some twists and turns, the mission was, after all, completed.

Jiang Han's expression was somewhat grave as he said, "This time, two ninth-level Dao Peering Realm Barbarians descended, and a Demon Grand Priest burned his demon body, inviting a Demon Soul to descend. In the end, eighteen of our Great Commanders died in battle, and more than twenty from the Southern Domain army also perished. I don't know how to explain this to Marquis Yan Bei…"

"What happened?"

Monarch Feng Yi's face turned stern. Ma Ji quickly explained the situation and then patted Jiang Han on the shoulder, saying, "Jiang Han, you don't need to blame yourself too much. It's normal for accidents to happen during missions."

"The Bei Shang Army provides compensation for fallen soldiers. If you really feel bad, take care of their clansmen and relatives in the future."

"That's right!"

Monarch Feng Yi nodded and said, "Jiang Han, you don't need to feel too guilty. Marquis Yan Bei will take good care of their families."

Jiang Han pondered for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll give each Great Commander twenty billion Divine Crystals. Of course, I don't have the Divine Crystals now, but I'll work hard to earn them later to make up for it, otherwise my conscience won't be clear."

Jiang Han didn't want to interfere too much with the Great Commanders who died from the Southern Domain army; King Qing Zhu would handle it. In the first place, if something happened in a small realm, the Ancestral Realm had a responsibility and obligation to help.

Three hundred Great Commanders from the Bei Shang Army came to help from thousands of miles away, and now eighteen have died. Jiang Han couldn't feel right if he didn't offer some compensation.

Monarch Feng Yi and Ma Ji didn't say much. Three hundred billion Divine Crystals was a large sum for others, but with Jiang Han's ability, he could earn it in just a few years.

Monarch Feng Yi remembered something and looked at Jiang Han, asking, "Did you kill both of the ninth-level Dao Peering Realm Barbarians? Are you able to kill ninth-level Dao Peering Realm experts now?"

Jiang Han nodded and said, "I comprehended a type of flame, a very powerful one. With the help of the River of Time and Space, I can incinerate ninth-level Dao Peering Realm experts."

"Flame?"

Monarch Feng Yi and Ma Ji exchanged glances but didn't ask any further questions. She exclaimed, "Jiang Han, your strength has improved too quickly. Soon, I won't be your match anymore."

Jiang Han quickly said a few words of humility. Monarch Feng Yi looked at Jiang Li beside him and asked, "This is…"

Jiang Han quickly introduced, "This is my younger sister, Jiang Li! Jiang Li, this is Monarch Feng Yi, pay your respects quickly!"

Jiang Li quickly and respectfully paid her respects. Monarch Feng Yi kindly took Jiang Li's hand and said, "No need to be so polite. Your brother and I are friends. In the future, you can call me Sister Feng Yi."

Jiang Li smiled sweetly and said, "Okay, Sister Feng Yi!"

Jiang Han thought of Marquis Chang Sheng's matter and asked, "Monarch Feng Yi, one of my friends' physical body died, but their soul hasn't dissipated. Are you familiar with Marquis Chang Sheng? Can he revive my friend?"

"The soul hasn't dissipated?"

Monarch Feng Yi was slightly surprised. Jiang Han thought for a moment, took out the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, and then brought everyone inside.

Monarch Feng Yi went in and saw the stone bed, as well as Si Li, who was frozen into an ice sculpture on the stone bed.

She saw the sorrow in Jiang Han's eyes and asked, "Is this your lover?"

Jiang Han nodded slightly. Monarch Feng Yi walked over and carefully examined her, then said, "It's very strange; the soul actually hasn't dissipated."

Monarch Feng Yi pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Jiang Han and said, "Marquis Chang Sheng is undoubtedly the number one expert in the Law of Life among the human race, but his personality is quite eccentric."

"How about this… When we return to the Bei Shang Realm, I'll take you there. You need to be mentally prepared; if you want Marquis Chang Sheng to take action, you may have to pay a certain price."

"It's fine!"

Jiang Han said with a firm gaze, "As long as Si Li can be revived, I'm willing to pay any price."

The group left the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, and not long after, Liu Ming'er arrived.

Liu Ming'er reported to King Qing Zhu. King Qing Zhu didn't say anything but simply issued an order to transfer Marquis Tian Yuan from Qingwang City, sending him to the front lines of Human King Mountain to command the army.

At the same time, Monarch Chang Lin, Monarch Chang Li, and all the other experts from his faction were transferred there, sent to the front lines to fight and atone for their sins.

King Qing Zhu entrusted Liu Ming'er with full responsibility for settling the Star Dust Realm's prisoners of war. Furthermore, he promised Liu Ming'er that she would be responsible for supervising the Star Dust Realm.

In other words!

From now on, Liu Ming'er had the final say in matters concerning the Star Dust Realm, and all matters had to be reported to Liu Ming'er.

If Marquis Tian Yuan, Monarch Chang Lin, and the others wanted to send people to retaliate against the Star Dust Realm, Liu Ming'er would definitely know.

Liu Ming'er wasn't conferred as a monarch, but her identity and status were special. She was King Qing Zhu's precious granddaughter. With Liu Ming'er supervising, the Star Dust Realm would be safe.

Jiang Han was overjoyed upon receiving the news and repeatedly expressed his gratitude.

Liu Ming'er didn't say anything but simply invited him and Monarch Feng Yi to be guests at Myriad Flowers Valley. As the host, she wanted to host a banquet for them.

Liu Ming'er was a good person, and Jiang Han and Monarch Feng Yi gladly accepted the invitation. Liu Ming'er invited several of her good friends to attend, and the banquet was enjoyed by all.

Back at the inn, Monarch Feng Yi looked at Jiang Han with a smile and said, "That Liu Ming'er is interested in you. I feel… King Qing Zhu also intends to recruit you as his grandson-in-law."

"What?"

Invisible black lines appeared on Jiang Han's forehead. He said, "Monarch Feng Yi, don't joke around. What is Miss Ming'er's status? What is my status? I'm just a nobody from a small realm. She's a proud daughter of the heavens of the entire human race; how could she possibly fancy me?"

"Hehe!"

Monarch Feng Yi said with a smile, "Precisely because she's a proud daughter of the heavens, she wouldn't befriend just anyone for no reason. Today's banquet was clearly to entertain you; I was just tagging along."

"Moreover… King Qing Zhu allowing Liu Ming'er to supervise the Star Dust Realm is problematic in itself. Does a tiny Star Dust Realm need someone of Liu Ming'er's status to supervise it?"

"Furthermore!"

Monarch Feng Yi added, "Marquis Tian Yuan, Monarch Chang Lin, and Monarch Chang Li have all been exiled to Human King Mountain. Although King Qing Zhu has the idea of rectifying the atmosphere, isn't it a disguised way of showing goodwill to you?"

"Those are Marquis-level experts, one of King Qing Zhu's capable generals. He pushed the Star Dust Realm's affairs away completely, and according to reason, the punishment shouldn't be so severe."

"Never mind!"

Jiang Han didn't have the heart to care about these things. Si Li's life and death were uncertain, and whether she could be revived was another matter.

Not to mention King Qing Zhu's granddaughter, even if King Qing Zhu himself took a fancy to him, he wouldn't be in the mood to care…
