Wu Shattered Star River

Most of the citizens of Holy Ape City had left, leaving only a few hundred thousand Sky Ape Clan members who were unwilling to go.

Many clan members had lived for far too long; their battle prowess couldn't be improved in this lifetime, and they felt that living only wasted the clan's resources.

They had spent their entire lives in Holy Ape City and had deep feelings for it, so they naturally wanted to be buried with it.

Cang Huang and the others arrived very quickly, reaching the city in just under half an hour.

As expected by the cultivators, Cang Huang and his group didn't go anywhere else; they began to bombard the city's protective formation.

The Dao Ancestor realm experts of the Southern Region were all there, so where else could Cang Huang go? To attack small cities? To slaughter ordinary cultivators? What would be the point?

If they could mobilize tens of millions of troops, perhaps they would order those troops to slaughter and destroy the foundation of the various clans in the Southern Region.

However, mobilizing troops would take time, and Cang Huang wasn't sure that he could completely occupy the Southern Region, so he didn't order the mobilization of troops.

As long as the Dao Ancestor realm experts of the Southern Region were killed, wouldn't it be easy to pacify the entire Southern Region?

Cang Huang personally took action, leading a group of Dao Ancestor realm experts to bombard Holy Ape City fiercely. The city's protective formation was originally very strong, but with Cang Huang's bombardment, it probably wouldn't last more than two days.

The Seventh Ancestor and the others weren't worried because there was a teleportation array in the main hall where they were, allowing them to teleport away at any time. Their purpose here was to attract Cang Huang and the others, delaying time to wait for Zhen Ji's arrival.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

After Cang Huang bombarded for most of the day, a stream of light flew from the distance; it was a Holy King from the Sky Scaled Clan.

He flew over and reported, "Second Elder, we just received news that Zhen Ji is rushing towards the Southern Region and is expected to enter the Southern Region in one day."

"Zhen Ji?"

Cang Huang's expression immediately turned gloomy. He had transferred Xiong Guanshan away, and now another Dao Ancestor realm seventh level expert was coming?

Although Zhen Ji had only broken through to the Dao Ancestor realm seventh level not long ago, her battle prowess was famous in the Land of Bitter Winter. Before breaking through, she was almost the strongest existence among Dao Ancestor realm sixth level experts, and now that she had broken through, her battle prowess was no weaker than his.

If Zhen Ji really came, then this time they would fail again, and perhaps even some Dao Ancestor realm experts would die. If two or three more Dao Ancestor realm experts died, they would only be able to return in defeat.

His eyes darted around. Arrive in the Southern Region in one day?

It would take time for Zhen Ji to come here from the entrance, so there was a chance to break the protective formation here?

But would breaking it have any meaning?

There was a teleportation array in the city, so they could teleport away at any time. After teleporting away, they could destroy the teleportation array there, and they could only go to the next city to continue bombarding.

There were quite a few large cities in the Southern Region, and it would take at least half a year to bombard them one by one…

So chasing like this wasn't a solution!

Then there was only one path to take, which was to intercept Zhen Ji and repel or kill her.

As long as Zhen Ji was killed or repelled, the Dao Ancestor realm experts in the Southern Region alone couldn't turn the tables.

Cang Huang pondered for a moment and began to think about how to act, how to quietly leave here to ambush Zhen Ji.

He didn't have a sure chance of victory against Zhen Ji alone, so he needed to take Cang Min and another Dao Ancestor realm sixth level expert with him.

But taking away two Dao Ancestor realm sixth level experts would leave the strength here empty, and the Dao Ancestor realm experts here could easily be killed.

He couldn't let the Seventh Ancestor and the others realize that he was going to intercept Zhen Ji; otherwise, if the Seventh Ancestor and the others tried to join forces with Zhen Ji, then he would fail.

Cang Huang bombarded while thinking.

After a moment, he made a decision. He suddenly beckoned to Cang Min and Fan Tian, and after they came over, he said, "You will follow me later, and the rest of the cultivators will continue to bombard here!"

"Uh…"

Cang Min and Fan Tian were stunned. If they left, and the Seventh Ancestor and the others killed their way out, how could the remaining Dao Ancestor realm experts withstand it?

Cang Huang didn't explain, forcibly giving the order, letting the remaining Dao Ancestor realm experts continue to bombard. He let Cang Hao, a Sky Scaled Clan Dao Ancestor realm sixth level expert, lead the team, and he left directly with Cang Min and Fan Tian.

"Hmm?"

The Seventh Ancestor and the others had been observing the situation outside, and when they discovered that Cang Huang had left with Cang Min and Fan Tian, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the group of experts.

"Not good!"

The Seventh Ancestor and the Sky Ape Clan King exchanged glances and immediately guessed that Cang Huang must have taken Cang Min and Fan Tian to intercept Zhen Ji.

If they were really intercepted, Zhen Ji and Qing Xueyun might be in danger.

The Sky Ape Clan King's eyes darted around, and he immediately said, "No, we have to go to the northeast to join forces with Zhen Ji. Once Zhen Ji is killed or repelled, our Southern Region will be completely finished."

Kong Xuan's eyes flickered, and he said, "What if it's a plan to lure us out? If we go out, we will immediately be ambushed and killed by Cang Huang!"

"What lure and what plan?"

The Sky Ape Clan King glared and said, "Don't you understand? Zhen Ji is now our only hope in the Southern Region; she absolutely cannot have any problems."

"Regardless of whether it's a conspiracy or not, we have to find a way to join forces with Zhen Ji; otherwise, we will all die sooner or later."

Divine Flame Old Ancestor pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry, according to intelligence, Zhen Ji won't be here so soon; she is expected to enter the Southern Region in one day. Let's think carefully."

The Seventh Ancestor knew that they couldn't be anxious; the Southern Region only had this little bit of foundation left, and they couldn't squander it casually. If a few more Dao Ancestor realm experts died in battle, the Southern Region would completely decline and could be destroyed at any time.

The Seventh Ancestor pondered for a moment and said, "Can we teleport all the way over there? If we can teleport all the way, it will be much safer."

"Teleportation is possible!"

The Sky Ape Clan King said, "But didn't we order the clan members of many cities to leave before? Many teleportation arrays in those large cities have been destroyed. So we can only teleport from small cities, which means we have to detour, and the danger will increase."

Teleportation takes time. If they teleport slowly one by one from small cities, they might still be intercepted.

The protective formations of small cities are practically useless; once they are ambushed, it will be equally dangerous.

"Swish!"

Just as they were discussing, three figures flew over and continued to bombard the protective formation wildly.

"Look, didn't I tell you it was a plan?"

A group of experts glanced over, and Kong Xuan immediately shouted, looking frightened.

The Seventh Ancestor and the Sky Ape Clan King frowned, wondering what Cang Huang was up to?

After waiting for half an hour, Cang Huang left again with two experts, which made the faces of the group of experts become very ugly!

Cang Huang was now using a blatant scheme, clearly telling them that he might go to intercept Zhen Ji, or he might be deliberately drawing them away, to see how they would respond.

A fierce debate broke out among the Dao Ancestor realm experts in the Southern Region.

Kong Xuan and the Fa Clan King were more cowardly, believing that stability should come first, and they should figure out the situation before making a decision.

These two clan kings only had their own interests in mind, and ultimately they were afraid of death. In their view, even if the Southern Region was destroyed, they could surrender to the Sky Scaled Clan or go to the Eastern, Western, and Northern Regions.

The Seventh Ancestor and the Sky Ape Clan King said that they should teleport all the way over there. Although there would be some risks, as long as they could join forces with Zhen Ji, they could win this battle.

Just as they were discussing fiercely, a Holy King from the Sky Ape Clan flew over and said, "Reporting, Your Majesty, esteemed princes, Holy Venerable, news has come from the entrance—Prince Jiang has recovered! He has sent a message asking how he can cooperate with our actions?"
