Wu Shattered Star River

Holy Flame Realm, Holy Flame City!

Yan Qi strode into a palace, where Yan Rong was sitting behind a desk processing affairs. Seeing Yan Qi enter, he asked, "Any new intelligence?"

"Yes, something happened with Jiang Han!"

Yan Qi nodded. He was the Grand Commander of the Intelligence Division of the Yan Gold Clan. Yan Rong had instructed him to mobilize all forces to monitor Jiang Han's situation.

The entire Intelligence Division of the Yan Gold Clan was extremely powerful, and he could quickly receive news of Jiang Han's every move.

Yan Rong put down the pen in his hand, frowned, and asked, "What happened?"

Yan Qi said, "Didn't Jiang Han become a Feudal Lord some time ago? The Northern Blight King granted him a fief, and he built a manor on an island within that fief."

"More than ten days ago, three Dao Peering Realm Ninth Level cultivators from a major family in the Northern Blight Realm attacked the island. Jiang Han happened to return and killed these three Dao Peering Realm cultivators. Then Jiang Han fled, and the Northern Blight Realm is now hunting him down."

"Hunting him down?"

A look of astonishment appeared on Yan Rong's face, and a light flickered in his pair of turbid eyes. He stood up and paced back and forth.

After a moment, he shook his head and said, "That shouldn't be… Even if he killed three Dao Peering Realm Ninth Level cultivators, given Jiang Han's talent, the Northern Blight King wouldn't kill him, would he? Why would he go to such lengths?"

Yan Qi thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps the Wu family has a great influence in the Northern Blight Realm. With two Marquis in the Wu family, the Northern Blight King couldn't abandon the Wu family for the sake of a Jiang Han."

"Although Jiang Han is very talented, it's hard to say whether he can enter the Dao. If Jiang Han isn't hunted down, the Wu family might become disaffected."

"No…"

Yan Rong shook his head and said, "Detailed intelligence, let me see!"

"Buzz~"

Yan Qi took out a pile of intelligence, and Yan Rong took it, sat down, and carefully read through it.

He spent a full half-炷香 (zhuxiang - incense stick burning time, about 30 minutes) reading before raising his head and saying, "There's something fishy here. Several Dao Entry Realm cultivators were chasing him, yet Jiang Han easily escaped? Isn't this a joke?"

Yan Qi's eyes flickered, and he said, "Perhaps… Marquis Fengxian and Marquis Liyang deliberately let him go?"

"No!"

Yan Rong shook his head firmly and said, "The Northern Blight King personally inscribed Jiang Han's title and refined a Super Grade Spiritual Artifact for him. This shows that Jiang Han is very important in the Northern Blight King's heart."

"Furthermore… Jiang Han's sister is still in the Northern Blight Realm. If Jiang Han was going to leave, he wouldn't leave without his sister."

Yan Qi glanced at it, nodded, and said, "That's possible. After all, that's the headquarters for rogue cultivators, and Jiang Han fled north. He has nowhere else to go, so going to Ghost City is understandable."

"Wrong, he should have been arranged by the Northern Blight King to go to Ghost City!"

Yan Rong shook his head, his gaze falling on the area between the Northern Blight Stronghold and Ghost City.

He pointed to a spot and said, "Isn't this the Earth Flame Stronghold controlled by our Yan Clan? Who is guarding it?"

Yan Qi glanced at it, nodded, and said, "Yes, it's the Earth Flame Realm's stronghold. The guards should be Yan Liuqing and Yan Liushui, the two sisters."

"Pass down an order!"

Yan Rong waved his hand and said, "Have them send out scouts to secretly investigate the route from the Northern Blight Stronghold to Ghost City and search for Jiang Han. If they find Jiang Han, have the sisters move out and secretly follow him!"

"This…"

A look of surprise appeared in Yan Qi's eyes again, and he couldn't help but ask, "Third Uncle, what is so extraordinary about this person? Is he worth you spending so much effort?"

"Yan Liuqing and Yan Liushui, those two sisters, have been spoiled rotten by the Earth Flame King. Without a reasonable explanation, they're afraid they won't move!"

"No explanation!"

Yan Rong waved his hand domineeringly and said, "Tell them that this is my order. If they still recognize our Yan Gold Clan, they will carry out the order. If their Earth Flame Realm doesn't recognize our clan and wants to betray us, then they can do as they please!"

"Ah?"

Yan Qi's heart trembled. Yan Rong actually used such a heavy tone? He didn't dare ask any more questions and quickly bowed, "Yes, sir!"

Yan Qi went down to send the message. Yan Rong stared blankly at the map, lost in thought. After a long while, he sighed and said, "Clan King, when will you come out of seclusion? Jiang Han… is he really your son? This kid is too much of a troublemaker. This time, running to Ghost City, I'm afraid it's going to be another havoc."

…

After flying in the warship for six days, Jiang Han easily crossed the territory of the Sand Clan, and it was still under the escort of that Sand Clan Dao Peering Realm Ninth Level cultivator.

In addition, this Sand Clan Dao Peering Realm Ninth Level cultivator gave him 10 billion Divine Crystals. He didn't pay any road toll, but instead received 10 billion as tribute.

"Get lost!"

Jiang Han looked at the mountains ahead, waved his hand, and controlled the warship to fly away.

The Sand Clan Dao Peering Realm Ninth Level cultivator breathed a sigh of relief, but a look of hatred flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Han didn't know that the Sand Clan was once a second-tier race. However, they were slaughtered by the Yan Clan and relegated to a third-tier small clan, and they were almost wiped out by the Yan Clan.

Their fear of the Yan Clan was etched in their bones, and of course, they also hated them to the core.

The Sand Clan is so weak now, how dare they provoke the Yan Clan? Moreover, Jiang Han is so young and possesses the Holy Flame, which is clearly a young master of the Yan Clan.

If a young master of the Yan Clan died here, what would be the consequences?

What awaits the Sand Clan is certainly a disaster of extermination, so this Sand Clan powerhouse dared not provoke Jiang Han at all, escorting him out of the territory and even offering 10 billion Divine Crystals.

The warship flew for an hour, and Jiang Han stopped on a mountain.

These days, he has been pondering one thing. Through the performance of the Sand Clan, he has a bold idea.

Perhaps if he disguised himself as a member of the Yan Clan, this journey would be smoother and it would be less likely to expose his identity?

The Yan Clan and the Human Clan are similar in appearance, except that they have flame tattoos on their necks, flame marks on their foreheads, and some Yan Clan members occasionally have flames flickering in their eyes.

The tattoos on the neck and the flame marks on the forehead are not too difficult to fake. In addition, his flame is always considered to be the Holy Flame, so it is too easy for him to disguise himself as a member of the Yan Clan.

Even the Yan Clan can't tell the difference between his flame, let alone the other races. At a glance, they will think that he is a member of the Yan Clan.

"Try it!"

Jiang Han was a little tempted. Disguising himself as a member of the Yan Clan would not only greatly increase his safety, but also make it less likely to expose his identity. Why not do it?

Thinking of disguising himself as a member of the Yan Clan, Jiang Han thought of Yan Ning again!

Yan Ning should have returned to the Holy Flame Realm by now, right? He asked Yan Ning to bring a message to the Clan King of the Yan Gold Clan. He didn't know if it was delivered or not?

If it was delivered, why didn't the Yan Gold Clan have any reaction?

Could it be that Yan Qin is not Yan Qin?

But what about the bloodline and flame on his body?

Jiang Han couldn't figure it out. He pondered for a moment and began to disguise himself. He used a potion to tattoo a flame on his neck.

He didn't dare to tattoo gold, purple, or blue, as those were the three royal clans of the Yan Clan and would attract attention.

He only tattooed an ordinary red flame tattoo and put a red flame pattern on his forehead.

His disguise skills were average. If someone sensed carefully, they would find that this was not a tattoo at all, but a disguise.

However, he has the Holy Flame, so presumably no martial artist would pay attention to his tattoo.

"Go!"

After looking in the mirror several times, Jiang Han was very satisfied with his craftsmanship. He rose into the air and flew straight north in the warship.
