Wu Shattered Star River

Jiang Han was worried. Although Jiang Henshui spoke lightly, the fact that he emphasized twice that Jiang Han should not go to the Upper Realm and should not look for him indicated that he must have encountered a powerful crisis. He said he was trapped in a place and would need a century or two to escape?

Jiang Han didn't know what Jiang Henshui's current battle strength was. However, Yan Qin had said that if he could return, he could suppress all the realms alone, and kill ten Huang Xiaos with a single sword.

Jiang Henshui was so powerful, yet he was trapped in a place for a century or two? How dangerous must that place be?

Jiang Han held some resentment towards Jiang Henshui, but blood was thicker than water, and he was still very worried about Jiang Henshui.

The problem was…

With his current battle strength, what could he do in the Upper Realm?

Besides, how could he even get to the Upper Realm? Even Yan Qin didn't know; probably no one in this world could go up there.

Therefore, no matter how worried Jiang Han was, no matter how much he wanted to help, he was helpless.

“Forget it…”

Jiang Han sat for a while, shook his head, and put the matter of Jiang Henshui out of his mind.

Thinking too much was useless. Compared to Jiang Henshui, he was too weak. Not only could he not go to the Upper Realm, but even if he did, he wouldn't be able to do anything.

He should deal with the problems of the Lower Realm first.

He rubbed his face and turned his gaze to the Ghost King Stone. The stone was emitting a faint light, as if waiting for him to refine it.

The Xuan Qi in his hand shone, and he began to pour Xuan Qi into it. The Ghost King Stone became brighter and brighter, and Jiang Han could clearly feel the Ghost King Stone being refined by him.

He was greatly encouraged. The Ghost King Stone was so easy to refine. Was this also a backup plan left for him by Jiang Henshui?

As time passed, after an hour, the Ghost King Stone became brighter and brighter. Jiang Han felt that he had refined most of the stone and estimated that it would be almost done in another half an hour.

He became excited. Refining the Ghost King Stone would not only give him a heaven-defying treasure, but more importantly, it would help the Peace Alliance subdue nineteen Dao Harmonization Realm experts, which would greatly increase the strength of the Peace Alliance.

One incense stick, two incense sticks!

At that moment, the Ghost King Stone suddenly flashed again, and Jiang Han felt the scene in front of him disappear. He appeared again in that black secret realm.

“What’s going on?”

Jiang Han was a little confused. Did Jiang Henshui still have something to say to him?

But the wisp of soul essence that Jiang Henshui had left behind had obviously dissipated just now. He was in the Upper Realm at the moment, how could he possibly contact him again from afar?

He looked around, and after a moment, his eyes narrowed because a black-clothed youth appeared on the hill, looking exactly like him.

“咻!”

The black-clothed youth was also carrying the Northern Desolate Saber. With a flash of his figure, he shot over, and the Northern Desolate Saber in his hand slashed down fiercely at him.

A four-colored saber light lit up, and a terrifying aura spread out. A fatal crisis appeared in Jiang Han's mind.

This sense of crisis was real. Jiang Han felt that if he didn't retreat, he might be torn to pieces by the four-colored saber light.

He didn't retreat, he didn't even defend!

He just stood there, letting the saber light roar towards him.

As he expected…

The saber light roared over, flew through his body, and disappeared in an instant.

“Why didn’t you dodge?”

The “Jiang Han” in front of him coldly held the saber and looked at him, saying, “Are you not afraid of death?”

Jiang Han smiled and said, “Afraid, but you can’t kill me!”

“Hmm?”

The Jiang Han on the opposite side turned cold, and killing intent surged from his body. He slowly flew over with the Northern Desolate Saber in his hand and said coldly, “Are you questioning my strength?”

“No!”

Jiang Han still smiled and said, “You can kill me, but you shouldn’t be able to kill me in the City Lord’s Mansion. If I leave the City Lord’s Mansion, you can control the Ghost City to bombard me.”

“Oh?”

The Jiang Han on the opposite side was stunned, and then his face and body began to change, turning into a ghost, with human-like features, small in size, like a little boy's wandering soul.

He said, “How did you recognize me?”

“Hahaha!”

Jiang Han laughed. Although this artifact spirit had intelligence, it felt silly and a little cute.

Did he even need to recognize it?

There were no living beings in the City Lord's Mansion, except for Jiang Henshui's soul essence, so there was only the artifact spirit.

Most importantly, this artifact spirit had turned into his exact likeness, but with a completely different temperament. The simulated four Dao powers were only in form and lacked essence, not at all the power of the four Daos.

Therefore, Jiang Han did not dodge. He was sure that the attack just now was just an illusion. This was just the artifact spirit using some secret method to meet him.

After laughing a few times, Jiang Han said seriously, “Although you have turned into my appearance, your temperament is different from mine.”

“This appearance is imposing, extraordinary, and I thought for a long time. Apart from the artifact spirit of the Ghost City, no other spirit body could have such a temperament.”

“Oh?”

The artifact spirit’s eyes lit up, and he raised his head slightly and said, “I’ll give you that you have some ability, but wanting me to easily submit to you is impossible. You are too weak and not worthy of being my master!”

Jiang Han was dumbfounded. This artifact spirit was just a child. His intelligence was probably the same as that of a seven or eight-year-old child.

He thought for a while and said, “I am still very young. Give me a few more years, and my strength can easily surpass many of your previous masters!”

“Bragging!”

The artifact spirit sneered, “You have four Daos fused together, wanting to harmonize with the Dao is as difficult as ascending to heaven. If you don’t harmonize with the Dao, how can you surpass them?”

Jiang Han replied, “I will definitely be able to harmonize with the Dao. How about this… if I can’t harmonize with the Dao, I will automatically give up the position of City Lord after a hundred years, how about it?”

Since he was a child, he should first coax him and refine the Ghost City.

Who knew that the artifact spirit would not be fooled. He sneered and said, “A hundred years is too long. Considering the face of the previous master, your father, I will give you one year. If you can’t harmonize with the Dao after one year, I will dissolve your connection with the Ghost City.”

“One year…”

Jiang Han rolled his eyes. What could he do in a year? He definitely couldn't harmonize with the Dao in a year.

If a war happened to break out at that time, and the artifact spirit rebelled, and the Ghost City couldn't be used, wouldn't that be the end?

He tried his best to fight for it, “Ninety-eight years? I’ll let go of two years!”

“Dream on!”

The artifact spirit was extremely tough and said, “Two years at most, not even one more year. Take it or leave it.”

Jiang Han had a headache. Two years was not enough either. He felt that harmonizing with the Dao was a distant dream, and he definitely couldn't do it in two years.

He rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, and asked, “Have you always been in the Ghost City? Have you never gone out to play? What do you usually eat? Do you like natural treasures?”

The artifact spirit replied coldly, “Don’t try to get close to me. I am the spirit of heaven and earth and do not need to eat. No natural treasure can move me, and I will never leave the Ghost City. Give up on that idea.”

“That’s a pity…”

Jiang Han’s mind raced, and he said with some regret, “I entered the Death God’s Hall before. There is also an artifact spirit in the Death God’s Hall, and she is a very beautiful little soul girl, so beautiful that she is intoxicating.”

“I originally wanted to take you over to meet her, but since you can’t leave the Ghost City, then forget it…”

“You want to use beauty to corrupt me? Dream on!”

The artifact spirit snorted, but with a flash of his body, he arrived next to Jiang Han and asked, “Really… very beautiful?”

Jiang Han rolled his eyes and said, “Aren’t you unable to leave the Ghost City? No matter how beautiful she is, you can’t go out.”

“Are you stupid!”

The artifact spirit glared at Jiang Han and said, “I can’t leave the Ghost City, but I can control the Ghost City to fly over. Where is the Death God’s Hall? Let’s go take a look now…”

“No!”

Jiang Han refused righteously, “The artifact spirit of the Death God’s Hall is my friend. How could I betray my friend?”

The artifact spirit became anxious and quickly said, “I am also your friend. You are the son of my previous master, so you are my big brother!”

“Is that so…”

Jiang Han pretended to be embarrassed and said, “You just said two years?”

The artifact spirit quickly said, “Nonsense, you misheard. I clearly said twenty years, no… it’s two hundred years!”

“It’s settled!”

Jiang Han nodded, and the illusion in front of him immediately disappeared.

Then, the Ghost King Stone in his hand shone brightly, and the entire Ghost City shook violently. All the divine patterns in the palaces lit up.

The Ghost City was successfully refined!
