Wu Shattered Star River

North Desolation King, North King Palace!

"Jiang Han entered the Labyrinth Abyss?"

The North Desolation King held the information passed to him by Marquis Yanbei, his expression turning grim. His eyes flickered as he said, "How did Jiang Han run off there? It's easy to get into that place, but getting out is difficult. Why didn't Bu Shi warn him?"

Marquis Yanbei said with a heavy expression, "News came from Human King Mountain that the Wild Clan took Jiang Li's blood and likely used some kind of evil magic to deal with Jiang Han."

"It's very likely Jiang Han was affected, which is why the Death God Hall hasn't made any moves in the Desolate Ancient Mountain Range for a while."

"Dozens of Dao Harmonization Realm experts bombarded the area for more than twenty days. Qin Guangwang and the others mobilized to get the Dao Harmonization Realm experts from several clans in the Desolate Ancient Mountain Range to provide support. Some time ago, Jiang Han left the Desolate Ancient Mountain Range and went north all the way to the Labyrinth Abyss."

"There's also another piece of news. Bu Qiang, from the Celestial Machine Clan in the Divine Realm, sent a message that something might have happened to Bu Shi. He sensed a change in the celestial secrets."

"Jiang Han went to the Labyrinth Abyss possibly because something happened to Bu Shi? He wasn't clear about the situation, so he rashly went in?"

"Wu He deserves to die!"

A coldness appeared in the North Desolation King's eyes. He said in a deep voice, "How is the investigation into the Wu family and the internal spies within the realm going?"

"It's finished!"

The North Desolation King said, "There are some problems with the Wu family, but Marquis Wu Shen is fine. Wu Hejun has defected to the Wild Clan, and two experts at the ninth level of the Seizing Dao Realm in the Wu family have been bought by the Wu family. The rest are fine."

"More than a dozen experts at the eighth level of the Seizing Dao Realm within the realm have been bought by the major families from the Ancestral Realm, but no other problems have been discovered."

"The Wu family?"

A murderous aura instantly surged from the North Desolation King. He waved his hand and said, "Take all these people to the city gate and execute them. Ask Si Li if she is willing to carry out the execution. If she is unwilling, you go and execute them yourself."

"In addition, send all the Wu family's martial artists above the sixth level of the Seizing Dao Realm to the vanguard camp at Human King Mountain, and send Marquis Wu Shen there as well to serve for a hundred years!"

"Uh…"

Marquis Yanbei's expression changed slightly. He thought for a moment and said, "North Desolation King, Marquis Wu Shen is fine. The Wu family is also one of the mainstays of my North Desolation Realm. Is this punishment a bit too much?"

"Do you think this king is cold-blooded and doesn't care about old relationships?"

The North Desolation King glanced coldly at Marquis Yanbei and said, "Wu Hejun colluded with foreign races, and Marquis Wu Shen failed to supervise him properly, so he should bear joint responsibility. Jiang Han was almost killed by Wu Hejun, so the Wu family must pay the price."

"Also, since the Wu family can produce three traitors, one who defected to the Wild Clan and two who defected to the Wu family, then it's possible that a fourth or fifth will appear."

"Even Marquis Wu Shen may betray us. I'm not killing their entire clan because I'm mindful of the many contributions their family has made in the past, otherwise… hmph."

"Alright!"

Marquis Yanbei sighed and didn't try to persuade him any further. He cupped his hands and prepared to leave.

The North Desolation King spoke again, "After this matter is dealt with, go to the secret realm and cultivate in seclusion. Don't worry about the trivial matters within the realm. Break through to the Dao Harmonization Realm as soon as possible, and then you can guard the North Desolation Realm!"

Marquis Yanbei was stunned and asked, "I'll guard it? Are you going out?"

A trace of pain appeared on the North Desolation King's face. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "The Soul-Calling Lamp is useless. I have no more attachments. I plan to go to Human King Mountain and fight for a few years to see if I can improve my combat strength."

"If the human race can survive this crisis, I will do one last thing. If I die in battle, the North Desolation Realm will be handed over to you."

"One last thing?"

Marquis Yanbei's heart sank. He understood what the North Desolation King was talking about.

That was to find the Wu family and fight them to the death to avenge his deceased wife.

"Alright!"

Marquis Yanbei didn't say anything. No one could change the North Desolation King's decision.

Fortunately, the North Desolation King hadn't lost his mind and said he would wait until the human race had survived this crisis, so it was estimated that there were still a few years left.

After Marquis Yanbei went out, he took Wu Hejun and two high-ranking members of the Wu family, as well as more than a dozen internal spies, to the city gate of North King City.

Then, Marquis Yanbei sent a message to Si Li, asking if she wanted to come and carry out the execution herself.

Si Li sent a message refusing. Since Wu He couldn't escape death, it was the same no matter who killed him.

Marquis Yanbei personally took action. In front of thousands of onlookers, he chopped off the heads of Wu Hejun and the others one by one and announced their crimes to the public.

Afterward, Marquis Yanbei went to Wu City and announced the North Desolation King's decree.

A large number of troops took action. All the Wu family's martial artists who had reached the sixth level of the Seizing Dao Realm or above were arrested and escorted to the Ancestral Realm, and then sent to the vanguard camp at Human King Mountain to serve.

The huge Wu family was like a castle that had fallen apart and collapsed with a bang.

The Wu family's territory was taken back, and all the small families that depended on the Wu family suffered as a result. Many of those who held important positions in the North Desolation Army were dismissed, and the positions of some small city lords changed hands…

Marquis Yanbei didn't tell Si Li about Jiang Han's trip to the Labyrinth Abyss.

Apart from him and the North Desolation King, even Marquis Fengxian wasn't informed. This was what the North Desolation King had ordered.

Marquis Yanbei only told Si Li that Jiang Han was fine and was currently in an extremely safe place, temporarily lying low.

After receiving the news, Si Li returned to the Yueya Secret Realm the next day.

Jiang Li and Wu Yao'er followed her into seclusion. Not only them, but also more people chose to enter the Yueya Secret Realm for seclusion.

The North Desolation Realm was closed off, and no one could go out. Jiang Han was now being hunted down by a group of Dao Harmonization Realm experts outside. They all felt their own weakness and powerlessness, and they all blamed themselves for not being able to share some of Jiang Han's burden.

There were no wars in the North Desolation Realm now, and they had nothing to do. They didn't lack resources, and they had such a good secret realm. If they didn't work hard to cultivate and improve their combat strength, then they would be wasting resources and letting Jiang Han down.

Therefore, most of the martial artists who came from the Star Dust Realm entered the Yueya Secret Realm for seclusion in their spare time, working hard to improve their realm and combat strength.

A group of people were killed in the North Desolation Realm, and even more people were killed in the Ancestral Realm!

Taking advantage of Jiang Li's blood, Qin Guangwang secretly sent intelligence officers to investigate and found many internal spies, many of whom were members of the Eight Great Families.

These major families all understood the principle of not putting all their eggs in one basket and had begun to plan for a way out, secretly colluding with the Wild Clan and the Underworld Clan.

Of course, they were very strategic in their actions. Those internal spies were not high-ranking members of the families. They were basically collateral descendants or members of a family who had been "expelled" from the family, so that they wouldn't implicate the family if they were investigated.

More than two thousand people!

This time, the investigation uncovered more than two thousand internal spies, eight of whom were Dao Entry Realm experts, and most of the rest were at the eighth or ninth level of the Seizing Dao Realm.

Marquis Rentu led the operation.

What he regretted was that the identity of the mysterious person who transferred Chu Nanhou's blood had never been found out.

The blood had already been sent to the Wild Clan, which meant that the mysterious person's identity was not low and was likely one of the high-ranking members of the Eight Great Families, with a high position and great power.

"Execute them all and hang their heads on the walls of Human King City. Hang them there until the end of the Second Myriad Race War."

"In addition, carve a divine stele and erect it in the city square, inscribing their names and deeds on it, so that these internal spies will be infamous for ten thousand years."

Qin Guangwang issued the order. More than two thousand internal spies knelt in a line in front of the city gate, and Marquis Rentu personally supervised the execution.

One head after another fell, blood spurting wildly, staining the square in front of the city gate of Human King City red…
