Wu Shattered Star River

Inside the secret realm, Yan Qin was still sitting cross-legged on the flames. Her complexion wasn't as pale as last time, and her aura had noticeably strengthened.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful, and she had a golden flame tattoo on her neck, giving her a bewitching beauty.

After King Zhurong entered, Yan Qin opened her eyes. King Zhurong respectfully saluted, and Yan Qin then spoke indifferently, "What happened to Jiang Han?"

King Zhurong was taken aback and asked, "Why does the Clan King assume something happened to the Young Clan Head?"

"Hehe!"

Yan Qin smiled faintly and said, "If the Yan Zi Clan had attacked, Yan Qing would have rushed in to report to me long ago."

King Zhurong nodded, organizing his thoughts as he said, "In the past year or so, some things have happened. I wanted to come in and report to the Clan King before, but Yan Qing kept stopping me."

"It's like this!"

King Zhurong said, "Does the Clan King know about the Heavenly Demon Palace Clan King? King Bei Shang wanted to summon the soul of his deceased wife, so he sent Jiang Han into the Heavenly Demon Palace."

"Who knew the news would leak out? The Desolate Clan, in conjunction with the Underworld Clan and five other clans, sent a total of one hundred and thirty Dao Entry Realm cultivators to intercept and kill the Young Clan Head, but in the end… they were all killed by the Young Clan Head!"

"All of them were killed?"

Yan Qin frowned slightly and said, "Jiang Han's strength has improved so quickly? He can sweep through the Dao Entry Realm?"

"Yes and no…"

King Zhurong explained, "The Young Clan Head somehow managed to tame hundreds of Dao Entry Realm ferocious beasts within the Heavenly Demon Palace. He relied on these ferocious beasts to slaughter the seven clans' one hundred plus Dao Entry cultivators."

"Ferocious beasts?"

Yan Qin seemed thoughtful. She pondered for a moment but didn't dwell on the issue, asking, "And then? Did the seven clans send Dao Harmonization Realm experts to hunt him down?"

"Yes!"

King Zhurong nodded and said, "The seven clans initially sent seven Dao Harmonization Realm experts, but King Diyan received the news and went to meet him. Some Dao Harmonization Realm experts from the Human Clan also went, and Jiang Han successfully escaped."

"Later, the seven clans sent more than a dozen Dao Harmonization Realm experts, a total of twenty-one Dao Harmonization Realm experts. The Demon Clan, Dragon Clan, Faceless Clan, Ghost Clan, and Asura Clan also declared war on the Young Clan Head."

"When I learned of this, Yan Qing and Yan Yi and I went there. The Human Clan also sent some Dao Harmonization Realm experts again, and the Thunder Clan sent one…"

"We wanted to take the Young Clan Head away, but there were too many Dao Harmonization Realm experts from the seven clans. For some reason, the Young Clan Head didn't take the initiative to join us, but instead flew all the way towards the Death God Forbidden Zone."

"In the end, he entered the deepest part of the Death God Forbidden Zone… What's amazing is that the Young Clan Head actually doesn't die within the Death God Forbidden Zone!"

"A few days ago, the Young Clan Head came out of the Death God Forbidden Zone and went to the Barren Ancient Mountain Range. The seven clans immediately sent Dao Harmonization Realm experts to hunt him down."

"The Young Clan Head displayed great power, killing three Dao Harmonization Realm experts. Just now, the Young Clan Head appeared at the Netherworld Stronghold and leveled the entire stronghold. The Dao Harmonization Realm Netherworld Gu from the Netherworld Stronghold is missing, and their life or death is unknown. I estimate they were killed by the Young Clan Head…"

King Zhurong recounted Jiang Han's recent events in detail, without embellishment, basically stating the facts.

Yan Qin listened quietly the entire time, without any change in expression. Only when she heard that the seven clans had sent twenty-one Dao Harmonization Realm experts did a strong killing intent appear in her eyes.

After King Zhurong finished speaking, Yan Qin fell into deep thought. After a full dozen breaths of time, a trace of gratified smile appeared on her face as she said, "Not bad, my son didn't disgrace me and his father. It's only been so long, and he can already kill Dao Harmonization Realm experts?"

Seeing Yan Qin's smile, King Zhurong smiled along with her.

Yan Qin hadn't smiled in these years. King Zhurong was very clear about how much pressure she was bearing. Naturally, he was happy that Yan Qin was in a good mood.

He paused for a moment and asked in a solemn voice, "Clan King, the seven clans will definitely not give up, but the Young Clan Head is absolutely safe for the time being in the Death God Forbidden Zone."

"I came in to ask… whether we can contact the Young Clan Head and bring him back."

"Then, we can join forces with the Young Clan Head to destroy the Yan Zi Clan, and then we will have a chance to unify the Yan Clan. If we then join hands with the Human Clan and Spirit Clan, we can contend against the Desolate Clan and Underworld Clan."

"There is also one thing that I haven't reported. Recently, the Desolate Clan and Underworld Clan have annexed many clans, the Phoenix Clan, Soul Clan, Insect Clan, Underworld Clan… Many demon clans and other clans have been conquered by them. If we don't do something, the situation will be very unfavorable to us."

Yan Qin didn't reply, and she once again fell into deep thought.

After a full half-incense stick of time, she finally spoke, "The time is not yet right. My injuries still need two or three years. No rush!"

"You don't need to worry about Jiang Han's affairs!"

Yan Qin added, "Just watch and see what happens. It's good to let Jiang Han make some noise. This can delay the Desolate Clan and Underworld Clan's pace of expansion, giving us and the Human Clan and Spirit Clan enough time."

"But…"

King Zhurong became somewhat anxious and said, "The seven clans have so many experts. Although the Young Clan Head has some tricks up his sleeve, his realm is still too low. He might fall at any time."

"The Death God Forbidden Zone is not absolutely safe either, and the Young Clan Head will come out to attack on his own initiative every now and then."

"It doesn't matter!"

Yan Qin waved her hand and said, "The greater the pressure, the faster the growth. I haven't cared about him for so many years, and hasn't he been living well?"

"Go down. Don't disturb my closed-door cultivation unless something major happens. I'm not just… healing my injuries here. Give me two or three more years!"

"Not just healing injuries?"

Hearing these words, King Zhurong's eyes lit up.

Judging from Yan Qin's tone, she had gained a lot in this secret realm these years? In another two or three years, her combat power could soar?

He didn't say anything more, and after bowing, he retreated.

After King Zhurong left, Yan Qin murmured, "Jiang Han, persevere for another two or three years. After I come out of seclusion, I will help you get back all the bullying and grievances you have suffered!"

…

Outside the Death God Forbidden Zone, Jiang Han's body flashed out from the Death God Palace. He flew to the top of a high mountain. With a flash of the space ring in his hand, four heads appeared outside.

The skin on the faces of these four heads was wrinkled, without any flesh, dry, like old tree bark, and the faces could no longer be seen clearly.

However, upon closer inspection, one could still distinguish the races of the four heads.

One head was covered in runes that looked like ghost paintings, obviously a Ghost Clan member.

Another had no facial features, obviously a Faceless Clan member.

There was also an Asura Clan member, and the last one was wearing a cloak, with blood-red eyes, an Underworld Clan member.

He lined up the four heads in a row on the mountain, and then took out a banner with several lines of large characters written on it—

"The heads of the Dao Harmonization Realm experts from the Underworld Clan, Ghost Clan, Asura Clan, and Faceless Clan are here, returned in full. If you want the complete corpses, let the Clan Kings of the four clans come and retrieve them personally!"

After writing this line of large characters, he inserted the banner on the mountain, and then took out many memory crystals to record the scene.

After finishing all this, he entered the Guanghan Palace and flew around in the Guanghan Palace, searching for the scouts of the various clans nearby.

The Death God Forbidden Zone had recently received much attention from various clans, so there were many scouts from various clans nearby. He found one, controlled the Guanghan Palace to stop, and then threw out a memory crystal…

In this way, he found dozens of scouts and threw out dozens of memory crystals before flying into the Death God Forbidden Zone in the Guanghan Palace.

“Hiss~”

The scouts from the various clans nearby sensed the memory crystals and all gasped, their hearts palpitating.

They didn't dare to stay and immediately left at the fastest speed, taking the memory crystals with them.
