Wu Shattered Star River

After resting for a day in the Other Shore Space, Jiang Han came out, stored the crystal, and then stealthily headed towards the Sacred Mountain.

The Sacred Mountain of the Succubus Clan was very large, with a circumference of thousands of miles, towering into the clouds, with the upper half shrouded in pink mist.

Many places on the Sacred Mountain were built with wooden manors, obviously the residences of the Succubus Clan's higher-ups and core disciples of major clans.

This mountain was less chaotic; at least, there were no Succubi engaging in public displays of affection.

To Jiang Han's relief, there were no formations on this mountain. Could it be that the Succubus Clan didn't understand formations?

Carefully making his way upwards, Jiang Han didn't dare to approach those large manors, fearing detection by the powerful Succubi within.

He first ascended a small portion of the Sacred Mountain, then secretly took out the crystal. He found that the crystal's brightness had increased, but not by much, indicating that the Divine Seal fragment was not nearby, but higher up.

He immediately put the crystal away and continued to sneak upwards carefully.

After an incense stick's worth of time, he reached the Sacred Mountain above the clouds. Upon arriving here, he felt somewhat overwhelmed because the Succubus Qi was too dense.

He found a corner, entered the Other Shore Space, and expelled the Succubus Qi from his soul before secretly emerging again.

As soon as he came out, he instantly went invisible, sensed his surroundings, and after confirming there was nothing amiss, he took out the crystal to sense again.

The crystal's brightness had increased compared to before, but it was still not bright enough, indicating that the fragment was still in a higher area.

A bitter expression appeared on Jiang Han's face.

Going further up would mean reaching the top of the Sacred Mountain, the obvious residence of the Succubus Clan's highest echelons, with the Succubus Clan's King living above.

His Escape Art was very strong; Dao Ancestor Realm Eighth Layer could not sense him, and Dao Ancestor Realm Ninth Layer could only sense him when he was within a hundred feet.

Of course, this was the result of his test with Ancestor Xu back then. Perhaps the Succubus Clan's King was even stronger in combat power? Or perhaps they had other perception techniques, so he might be discovered if he went to the summit.

"Let's gamble!"

He pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and continued upwards.

Having come this far, there was no way he would retreat. He had to find all the fragments; this was the fastest way for him to increase his combat power to the Ninth Layer.

He continued to move upwards carefully. Soon, he reached the summit, where the Succubus Clan's patrols became more frequent, but this had no impact on Jiang Han.

He stood on the summit, where the architectural layout was much more orderly.

After going up the mountain, there was a huge plaza. In the center of the plaza was a wooden statue of a Succubus woman wearing a crown.

"The Succubus Clan's King is a woman?"

Jiang Han wondered secretly. He didn't dare to linger and quickly approached a large manor nearby, standing in a corner outside the manor, then sensing the surrounding situation.

Seeing that there was nothing amiss, he was slightly relieved. He carefully observed, not daring to go forward, but instead walking to the left.

The summit was very large, with many manors inside. Jiang Han roughly sensed that there were at least several thousand manors.

He bypassed the particularly large manors and quietly went to the left side of the summit. Many manors here were obviously offices such as the Treasury Department, so there shouldn't be many strong individuals?

He took out the crystal in a corner, and the crystal's brightness increased a lot, confirming that the fragment was on this summit.

He hid the crystal in his sleeve to conceal its light and prevent it from leaking out.

He squatted in the corner, secretly observing to see if there would be any abnormalities on the summit.

His heart was in his throat, feeling like he was dancing on the tip of a knife, pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth; it was too thrilling.

After waiting for an incense stick's worth of time, everything was normal on the summit, without any abnormalities. Jiang Han's hanging heart was put down.

He slowly began to move, constantly sensing the crystal's condition in his sleeve.

After sensing around on the left side of the summit, he found that the crystal would be brighter when it was closer to the right side, so he could only continue to move to the right.

He secretly prayed in his heart that the Divine Seal fragment wouldn't be in the largest manor in the very center, as that largest manor was obviously the residence of the Succubus Clan's King.

He didn't dare to approach that largest manor, but instead sneaked to the right side of the summit.

"Good!"

When he arrived on the right side, he found that the crystal was even brighter here.

This showed that the crystal was not in the Succubus Clan's King's hands, which relieved him. As long as it wasn't in the Succubus Clan's King's hands, it would be much easier to handle. If it were in the Succubus Clan's King's hands, he felt that there would be no chance at all.

He wandered around the manors on the right side and finally stopped at a large manor.

Because the crystal was the brightest when it was close to this manor, indicating that the Sea God Seal fragment was inside this manor.

"Clan Treasury?"

He sensed it and became excited again. This manor looked like the Succubus Clan's treasury. This crystal was indeed not valued and was discarded inside the treasury.

No wonder he activated the crystal and there was no reaction here all along. It turned out that this treasure was placed in the treasury.

However, this treasury was heavily guarded, with troops guarding the outside and two Dao Ancestor Realm Sixth or Seventh Layer experts guarding the inside?

Jiang Han sensed that there were four or five doors in this treasury, and all the doors were closed.

There were only two ways to get in: one was to use his wits, and the other was to attack by force!

Jiang Han's thoughts turned, and he immediately gave up the idea of attacking by force. As long as his aura was released, it would alarm the Succubus Clan's experts on the summit. Once the Succubus Clan's King locked onto him, he would definitely die!

After going down the mountain, he let out a long breath, and then he escaped towards Mu Qingchen's side.

Soon, he found Mu Qingchen. Mu Qingchen was a little surprised to see him come back so quickly and asked, "Nothing?"

"Yes!"

Jiang Han said, "It's on the mountain, but it's in their treasury. The residences of Succubus Clan experts are nearby, and the Succubus Clan's King is on the summit."

"This..."

Mu Qingchen frowned. She hadn't even gone up the mountain, and just hearing Jiang Han say this, she felt a headache.

She pondered for a moment and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Jiang Han fell into deep thought. Attacking by force was definitely not an option. He couldn't ask Daoist Zheng Yi and Ancestor Xu to help, so he could only rely on his own wits.

The treasury was the most important area of the Succubus Clan. Most importantly, there were too many experts above, so it was impossible to disguise himself as a Succubus to steal it.

So Jiang Han pondered for a moment and said, "Miss Qingchen, can I ask you for a favor?"

Mu Qingchen seemed to have guessed Jiang Han's thoughts. She said, "You want me to take action and help you lure away the Succubus Clan's experts?"

"Yes!"

Jiang Han nodded and said, "But don't take action here, otherwise you won't be able to escape. Go to the entrance over there."

"Once the experts here are dispatched after you take action, I will crush the jade talisman to notify you. At that time, you can directly exit the Illusionary Land. Don't worry about the rest!"

Mu Qingchen thought for a while and said, "Okay!"
