Wu Shattered Star River

Holy Desolate City.

Huang Xue entered a palace. There were no maids in this palace, and no lights were lit, so it was pitch black.

The outside of the palace was very luxurious, but the inside was very simple, with only a few wooden chairs and a few wooden tables.

In the dark hall sat a man in black. He was cross-legged in the center of the hall on a futon, with a pot of tea beside him and a stick of sandalwood incense burning. He was sitting quietly with his eyes closed.

Huang Xue walked in, looking at the man in front of him who was not very tall. A trace of reverence appeared in his eyes. He walked up to the man and bowed, saying, "Clan King!"

Huang Xiao was sitting with his back to him. He didn't open his eyes and said, "What is it?"

Huang Xue asked, "I would like to ask, how will the next battle proceed?"

Huang Xiao said lightly, "How should it proceed? Just continue the war!"

"But!"

Huang Xue said with a bitter face, "If Jiang Han is not killed, this war will be difficult to continue. We have suffered a lot of losses in these battles. If Jiang Han continues to fight, our casualties will be even more severe."

Huang Xiao said, "Don't worry, Jiang Han will not fight in the next battle. Ling Su, Yan Qin, and Qin Guang will not let him fight. They should let him find a way to merge with the Dao."

"Um..."

Huang Xue felt a little relieved. He hesitated for a while, then couldn't help but ask, "Clan King, why didn't Ming Qiang come to reinforce us that day? And why didn't you take action? If you had taken action, you should have been able to take away at least two of the three, Ling Su and the others, right?"

"Ming Qiang is in seclusion!"

Huang Xue said lightly. He was silent for a moment and said, "If I had taken action, I could have indeed taken away two, or even killed all three of them, but... I would also die!"

"Ah?"

Huang Xue was a little surprised. He said, "Are they three so strong?"

Huang Xiao shook his head and said, "They are not strong, but they all brought supreme treasures with them, especially Yan Qin... I suspect she has a divine artifact!"

"Divine Artifact!"

Huang Xue's single eye narrowed slightly. His eyes moved, and he pondered for a moment, saying, "Is that cauldron a divine artifact?"

"Yes!"

Huang Xiao nodded slightly and said, "I felt the aura of a divine artifact inside the cauldron."

"This..."

Huang Xue looked incredulous and asked, "Jiang Han has a divine artifact, and Yan Qin also has a divine artifact? Where did the divine artifacts in the Lower Realm come from?"

"Naturally, they were brought down from the Upper Realm!"

Huang Xiao stood up, and a faint mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth. "If I guessed correctly, Jiang Tian Emperor should be a person from the God Realm. The divine artifact on Yan Qin and Jiang Han's cauldron were both given to them by Jiang Tian Emperor."

"Jiang Tian Emperor!"

A cold light flashed in Huang Xue's eyes. He was in charge of the affairs of the Huang Clan, so he naturally knew who Jiang Tian Emperor was.

His eyes flickered, and he asked, "Clan King, Jiang Tian Emperor has been missing for so many years. Could it be that he went to the Upper Realm?"

"It should be!"

Huang Xiao looked at the sky with his hands behind his back and said, "He should know a secret passage that we don't know, or he has a unique divine power. He has been missing for so many years. If he were in the Lower Realm, he would have shown up long ago."

"Never mind him!"

Huang Xue said coldly, "He hasn't returned for so many years, so he shouldn't be able to return in a short time. What I'm worried about now is... Yan Qin has a divine artifact, and Jiang Han's cauldron also feels very strong. With two divine artifacts, how can we be a match for them?"

"Divine artifacts are indeed very strong!"

Huang Xiao's mouth showed a faint mockery and said, "But it also depends on who is using them. If a god or immortal monarch is holding a divine artifact, then we don't need to resist, we can just wait for death."

"As for Yan Qin... after all, she has been cultivating for a short time, and her realm and combat power are a little lacking. The divine artifact in her hands can't even exert 30% of its power."

Huang Xue nodded slightly. He looked at Huang Xiao and asked, "Clan King, have you... merged the four Daos?"

Huang Xiao walked outside with his hands behind his back. When he reached the door, he looked at the dim night and sighed, "If I had merged them, would Ling Su, Yan Qin, and the others still be alive that day? This king alone would be able to sweep them all away, even if Yan Qin had a divine artifact, she would still die!"

"Alas..."

Huang Xue sighed slightly and walked behind Huang Xiao. He asked, "Then Clan King... are you confident that you can merge the four Daos?"

Yan Qin has a divine artifact, and Huang Xiao is somewhat apprehensive. Jiang Han also has a divine artifact, so the combat power of both sides feels evenly matched.

And Jiang Han may merge with the Dao at any time. Once Jiang Han merges with the Dao, the situation may be reversed. Therefore, whether Huang Xiao can merge the four Daos is related to the final victory or defeat of the war.

"Yes!"

Huang Xiao still looked at the sky, looking at the thick clouds, and said, "I am only one step away now, just lacking a bit of an opportunity. Just like the night sky, if I can clear away these thick clouds, then I can see the bright moon in the sky!"

"Um!"

Huang Xue was slightly excited. He didn't dare to continue disturbing Huang Xiao and bowed, saying, "Then Clan King, please cultivate in peace. I will control the progress of the war. I won't disturb you unless there is a major event."

Huang Xue retreated. Huang Xiao didn't move, his eyes still looking at the thick dark clouds above the sky.

After a long time, he murmured, "Jiang Tian Emperor, how exactly did you go to the Upper Realm? If this king could go to the Upper Realm, what would it matter if I gave the Lower Realm to your son?"

"Upper Realm ah..."

"What kind of vast and wonderful world is it? Are there countless gods and immortals everywhere?"

"What kind of powerful force do gods and immortals possess?"

"Will this king have a chance to set foot there in this lifetime?"

......

The war subsided, and Ghost City ushered in a rare peaceful time.

Wu Yao'er, Jiang Li, Zuo Yiyi, and the others were given a few days off, and Jiang Han accompanied them for a few days.

After Mo Qingxue came, she only accompanied Jiang Han for one night, and the next day she began to work busily.

Mo Qingxue had been trained to handle intelligence work since she was a child. Some time ago, many members of the Li Clan were killed, and many hidden agents were eliminated. Mo Ji brought a large number of clansmen to Ghost City to re-establish the intelligence network.

Jiang Han was ambushed this time, and Mo Yangmin was very remorseful.

Although this matter cannot be entirely blamed on their intelligence department, Mo Yangmin still decided to strengthen the intelligence system to prevent such things from happening again.

On the fifth day, Jiang Han decided to travel!

Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. He had been in seclusion for such a long time, but he was still unable to merge with the Dao. He decided to walk around.

Go to the secret realms of various realms, see more scenery, comprehend more of the principles of heaven and earth, and seek the path to merge with the Dao.

This time, he didn't take Wu Yao'er, Yan Liuqing, Yan Liushui, or Mo Qingxue with him. He decided to go to the Holy Flame Stronghold first to find Si Li and take Si Li around.

Yan Qin said, let Si Li not run around, in case she is caught, this side will be very passive.

Since that's the case, then it's better to take her with him and walk around. One is to accompany Si Li well, and the other is to let Si Li comprehend more things and improve her combat power. Maybe Si Li can also merge with the Dao this time.

Before leaving, Mo Qingxue walked over. She handed Jiang Han a map and pointed to a spot circled on the map, saying, "Husband, this is the secret realm where Little Yu'er disappeared. It's not too far from the Holy Li Realm."

"There are now Li Clan soldiers stationed in this secret realm. You must be careful when you go to explore. If you can't enter the passage, don't force your way in."

"I and Grandpa have been to that passage... It's very strange inside and it's easy to get lost. If you feel uncomfortable, you must retreat immediately."

Jiang Han picked up the map and glanced at it. He nodded slightly and said, "I remember. If I go to the Chaotic Abyss, I will go in and take a look. I won't force my way in."

"I don't know where this passage... leads to? Why did Little Yu'er run in here for no reason?"
