Wu Shattered Star River

The Jade Emperor clearly investigated the ins and outs of the Witch Mountain Immortal Kingdom incident.

He didn't favor either side, punishing both, but the punishments weren't severe.

Three people from each side were exiled, and Immortal Maiden Yinghuo was placed under house arrest for three years.

It seems that Jiang Han and Immortal Maiden Yinghuo's side received a heavier punishment, but in reality, the Jade Emperor was lenient.

Immortal Maiden Yinghuo rarely leaves Yinghuo Star anyway, so what difference does house arrest make?

The one whose limbs were severed and who was trampled underfoot was Luqiu Yin, and it was the Luqiu family who lost face.

Luqiu Yin and that Immortal Venerable Luqiu He were both removed from their positions as executioners and exiled to the God-Demon Battlefield, unable to return to the Heavenly Court until they had accumulated sufficient military merits.

Judging from this decree, the Jade Emperor was somewhat dissatisfied with the Luqiu family.

Luqiu Yin accused others of treason at every turn, acting as if the Heavenly Court was his family's, and the Jade Emperor was warning the Western Heavenly Emperor.

The decree was issued, and the Heavenly Court's Imperial Guards mobilized, directly arresting Luqiu Yin and Luqiu He, and Che Jiaren was also arrested.

Subsequently, the Imperial Guards went to the Yu family and arrested Yu Xi.

Finally, a commander of the Imperial Guards, carrying the Jade Emperor's decree, teleported towards Yinghuo Star, preparing to arrest Jiang Han and Immortal Lord Wuyun.

The news spread that the Jade Emperor had punished both sides, defining the incident as both sides being at fault.

The situation quickly calmed down, and all parties quieted down. With no one stirring up trouble, public opinion was naturally quickly controlled.

…

On Yinghuo Star, Jiang Han and the others spent more than a day being brought back and were all settled in the courtyard where Jiang Han lived.

After Immortal Maiden Yinghuo returned, she went back to her palace. Jiang Han settled Immortal Lord Wuyun and the others, then went to Yinghuo Palace alone to thank Immortal Maiden Yinghuo in person.

In the back garden, Immortal Maiden Yinghuo was brewing tea. She wasn't wearing a veil and sat quietly.

Her face was exquisite, virtuous, gentle, and charming, and the faint aura around her made her even more unique.

Jiang Han walked to the outside of the pavilion, bowed, and said, "Thank you, Immortal Maiden, for your great help. Jiang owes you a life!"

Immortal Maiden Yinghuo said indifferently, "You helped me cure my illness, and I helped you solve a small problem. It's just mutual assistance. Marquis Shendan is too polite."

Jiang Han cupped his fist again and said, "It's a small problem for the Immortal Maiden, but it's a matter of life and death for me. If it weren't for the Immortal Maiden, my friends and I would have had a narrow escape. Jiang will remember this kindness."

"Hehe!"

Immortal Maiden Yinghuo smiled, and the red flowers all around lost their color. She said, "Marquis Shendan, this strange illness has plagued me for a lifetime. By helping me cure it, you have also given me a new life."

"So… you really don't have to be so polite. Shouldn't friends help each other?"

"Friends?"

Jiang Han was stunned. Immortal Maiden Yinghuo actually regarded him as a friend? He immediately felt honored. He pursed his lips and didn't say anything more, as continuing would be affected.

Immortal Maiden Yinghuo pointed to the stone stool opposite the jade table and said, "Marquis Shendan, please sit down and have a cup of Yingxian Tea. It's unique to Yinghuo Star and can't be bought on the market."

"Okay!"

Jiang Han was very open-minded, and as the son of the Eastern Heavenly Emperor, his status wasn't too far from Immortal Maiden Yinghuo's, so he naturally didn't have too much awe.

He sat down generously, picked up the tea, took a sip, closed his eyes, felt it for a moment, and nodded. "Good tea. Although the taste is light, it has endless aftertaste, and I feel the power of Yinghuo?"

"Yes!"

Immortal Maiden Yinghuo nodded and said, "This tea has the same effect as Yinghuo Fruit, and drinking it regularly can enhance your latent abilities. I'll have someone send you a few packs later so you can drink it slowly."

Jiang Han didn't thank her. Anyway, he owed Immortal Maiden Yinghuo enough, and he would slowly repay her favor in the future.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "Immortal Maiden, how will the Heavenly Court handle this matter? Will it have any impact on you?"

"No!"

Immortal Maiden Yinghuo said confidently, "Even if the Jade Emperor punishes me, he won't punish me too heavily, otherwise my uncles and aunts will definitely not agree, and Aunt Rong won't agree either."

"That's good!"

Jiang Han relaxed. After drinking tea for a while, Steward Cang hurried in. She frowned slightly when she saw Jiang Han and Immortal Maiden Yinghuo sitting face to face, but she didn't say anything.

She held a fairy talisman in her hand and said, "The Jade Emperor has issued a decree, punishing both sides. Miss, you are sentenced to three years of house arrest, and Marquis Shendan and the others are exiled… Commander Zhang is leading troops over here to arrest Marquis Shendan and Immortal Lord Wuyun."

Steward Cang repeated the Jade Emperor's decree. Immortal Maiden Yinghuo's expression turned cold, and she asked, "Can't it be changed? The God-Demon Battlefield is so dangerous, and if Marquis Shendan and the others go to the God-Demon Battlefield, the Luqiu family will definitely target them in secret. What did Aunt Rong say?"

"The decree has been issued, how can it be changed?"

Steward Cang said with a wry smile, "The Empress has already tried her best. After all, Luqiu Yin has the identity of an executioner and holds the Heavenly Punishment Order, which is on file in the Heavenly Punishment Palace. The Jade Emperor probably didn't want to punish you, so he let Marquis Shendan and Yu Xi take the punishment instead, right?"

"Exiled to the God-Demon Battlefield to kill ten God Sovereigns or Demon Sovereigns?"

Jiang Han's expression also became serious. He asked, "Are God Sovereigns and Demon Sovereigns similar to the Immortal Venerables on the Heavenly Court's side?"

"Yes."

Steward Cang nodded and said, "The Heavenly Court and the God King Mountain Demon Cave have been fighting on the God-Demon Battlefield for millions of years. Going to the God-Demon Battlefield and encountering demons and gods will be a never-ending battle. Marquis Shendan, the Empress has already tried her best, and there is no room for maneuver in this matter…"

"However, the Azure Emperor Palace still has some influence in the army. There are Heavenly Court troops stationed on the God-Demon Battlefield, and we will send a message to the generals there to secretly take care of you."

Jiang Han's expression was a little ugly. He pondered for a moment and said, "Can I go alone and let Immortal Lord Wuyun and Yu Xi take my punishment? I can kill thirty God Sovereigns and Demon Sovereigns."

The root cause of this matter was Che Yongxuan, and Immortal Lord Wuyun and Yu Xi were implicated by him.

Yu Xi was tortured like that in Witch Mountain City, and Jiang Han felt very bad. How could he let them go to the God-Demon Battlefield to be punished with him?

"No…"

Steward Cang smiled bitterly and said, "There is no precedent for the Jade Emperor's decree to be changed. Once the decree is issued, unless you take Immortal Lord Wuyun and escape now, you will be wanted and hunted down to death."

"Okay!"

Jiang Han sighed softly. Since things had become a foregone conclusion, there was nothing to worry about. They had to go to the God-Demon Battlefield even if they didn't want to.

It's just that if he leaves, what about Immortal Maiden Yinghuo's Heavenly Aperture Pill?

Can other alchemists refine the Heavenly Aperture Pill? Can they refine the Heavenly Aperture Pill with his quality?

If they can't refine it, and he dies on the God-Demon Battlefield, wouldn't Immortal Maiden Yinghuo's illness be delayed indefinitely?

Immortal Maiden Yinghuo had done him a great favor, and he naturally wanted to help Immortal Maiden Yinghuo.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "Steward Cang, can you delay the time it takes for the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to arrive here? Half a month would be good. Also… are there any secret realms on Yinghuo Star that can conceal the anomalies of heaven and earth?"

"I want to refine a thousand Heavenly Aperture Pills within half a month, so that the Immortal Maiden will have enough Heavenly Aperture Pills to cultivate the Starry Sacred Body."

"Refine a thousand Heavenly Aperture Pills in half a month?"

Steward Cang and Immortal Maiden Yinghuo's eyes narrowed slightly, and they looked at each other, both thinking they had misheard…
