Wu Shattered Star River

Xing Gu was taken away; this Immortal Venerable had gone to great lengths for him.

If Xing Gu had attacked again just now, Liu Zheng would have had no choice but to intervene in front of everyone.

Once he intervened, Xing Gu would only be severely punished; otherwise, Liu Zheng's authority would be lost, and he wouldn't be able to lead this operation.

After Xing Gu was taken away, Little Shining Mountain quieted down, and the onlookers dispersed, returning to their respective camps.

However, many cultivators gathered in their camps to discuss, and many were also inquiring about Jiang Han's situation.

Xing Gu, ranked thirteenth on the Hidden Dragon List, was a leading figure of the Xing family's younger generation, the largest family in Heavenly Hidden Pavilion.

The Xing family even had an Immortal Emperor, and Heavenly Hidden Pavilion was a behemoth. The Xing family was one of the giants in the entire Heavenly Court.

Jiang Han's capture of Yu Xi was not only a slap in Xing Gu's face but also a slap in the Xing family's face.

The news spread quickly, and many cultivators also learned that Jiang Han had a feud with the Lüqiu family, and Immortal Fairy Yinghuo had stood up for Jiang Han, stepping on Lüqiu Yin.

After this news spread, Jiang Han became famous in Little Shining Mountain.

Most importantly, Jiang Han had no background and was still an alchemist, a pseudo-immortal with weak combat power.

After receiving this news, many cultivators' first thought was, how is Jiang Han still alive?

"This is interesting!"

Lu Xingyu was stunned after receiving the news. Others might not know, but he knew that Jiang Han had tamed two fourth-order immortal beasts and hundreds of third-order immortal beasts.

Such a young alchemy grandmaster, capable of taming so many immortal beasts, daring to poach Xing Gu's corner, capturing Yu Xi, and having Immortal Fairy Yinghuo take action for him, severing Lüqiu Yin's limbs.

Any one of these events is unusual.

With so many oddities gathered on one person, this person must be extraordinary.

"Surname Jiang?"

Lu Xingyu's eyes flickered, and names of powerful individuals with the surname Jiang began to appear in his mind, but after thinking it over, he felt none of them matched.

"Could he be a descendant of that one from the Ancient God Star Region?"

Lu Xingyu's heart stirred, then he frowned and shook his head, saying, "That one hasn't been said to have any descendants. Strange, what is the background of this God Pill Marquis?"

Lu Xingyu couldn't figure it out, but he became increasingly interested in Jiang Han.

Xing Gu was locked up, and Little Shining Mountain quieted down.

Jiang Han and Yu Xi exchanged for a camp, moved in openly, and even activated the immortal array, nesting inside.

Time quickly passed by four days!

On this day, teams of soldiers and experts, along with several young masters and ladies in gorgeous robes, with extraordinary bearing and accompanied by a group of subordinates, surged under Little Shining Mountain.

Liu Zheng came out and convened a meeting with dozens of Immortal Venerables above Little Shining Mountain.

After the meeting, countless soldiers ran through the major camps, beginning to summon all cultivators.

Jiang Han and Yu Xi were called out and gathered in the square in the middle of the camp.

"Lüqiu Yin! Xing Gu!"

Jiang Han looked around, and his expression immediately darkened when he saw Lüqiu Yin, Lüqiu He, and Xing Gu.

Lüqiu Yin and Lüqiu He also discovered Jiang Han, and their eyes met, filled with killing intent.

Xing Gu didn't conceal his inner killing intent at all, looking at Jiang Han as if he wanted to tear him apart.

Yu Xi discovered Lüqiu Yin and Xing Gu, and her face turned pale. She looked around and saw many acquaintances.

"They've come too?"

Yu Xi murmured softly. Seeing Jiang Han's confusion, she explained, "The fifth, seventh, and sixteenth ranked on the Hidden Dragon List, along with seven or eight other top hundred geniuses, have all come. This time, sixty or seventy Immortal Venerables have come."

Jiang Han's eyes flickered, and he asked via voice transmission, "Then this rescue should go smoothly? We don't need to run away?"

"I don't know!"

Yu Xi shook her head and said, "It depends on the situation on the God and Demon race side. If the number of God Sovereigns and Demon Sovereigns combined is less than ours, the rescue will be easy."

"If they exceed our numbers, it will be difficult to rescue them, and the battle will be tragic."

Jiang Han nodded. After all, the God and Demon races have joined forces, and the Heavenly Court is fighting against two super forces. It depends on the situation on Shining Void Mountain.

Yu Xi transmitted her voice, "We can't leave now, but once we get to Shining Void Mountain, the Immortal Venerables will definitely be at the forefront. When the situation turns bad, we'll find a chance to sneak away."

After the people had gathered, Liu Zheng walked out with a few Immortal Venerables. Liu Zheng wasn't a human but a spirit race, with a refined appearance, a scholarly general.

He scanned the four to five thousand cultivators and said, "By the orders of Immortal Emperor Kunshan and Star Lord Beidou, this commander is responsible for this rescue operation. All cultivators in the secret realm must be under this commander's control."

"As you all know, our Heavenly Court cultivators are besieged by the God and Demon races on Shining Void Mountain, and they are in imminent danger, waiting for us to rescue them."

"Without further ado, we are all part of the Heavenly Court, and we should help each other, unite as one, and jointly resist the enemy."

"Immortal Emperor Kunshan has also spoken, those who make meritorious contributions in this battle will be heavily rewarded. Of course... if you disobey military orders, slack off, or sabotage the operation, this seat will definitely report you for severe punishment."

Liu Zheng paused and continued, "According to the latest intelligence, the God and Demon races have reinforced some cultivators, but we have the advantage in the number of cultivators and experts."

"Therefore, as long as we unite as one and fight with all our might, we can easily rescue our compatriots on Shining Void Mountain and suppress the God and Demon races!"

"In addition, I know that some of you have grievances, but what I want to say is—this operation must not be lost, and there must be no infighting. If your mischief leads to the failure of the operation, you will all bear the consequences!"

"Do you all have any objections? If not... everyone, set off for Shining Void Mountain!"

With Liu Zheng's order, all four to five thousand cultivators moved.

Liu Zheng led a dozen Immortal Venerables at the forefront, Jiang Han, Yu Xi, and the other cultivators walked in the middle, and finally were the experts and troops in the army.

Flying was not possible in Shining Void Mountain. The four to five thousand cultivators marched in a mighty force towards the golden mountain in the distance. While running, Jiang Han and Yu Xi noticed that there were many Heavenly Court scouts nearby, but no scouts from the God or Demon races.

Little Shining Mountain wasn't too far from Shining Void Mountain. After only half an hour of running, they arrived below Shining Void Mountain.

"This mountain... is truly peculiar!"

Before even getting close to Shining Void Mountain, Jiang Han and the others began to observe this strange mountain from afar.

From a distance, the mountain looked like a pyramid, but up close, it looked like a large terraced field, layer upon layer. The bottom layers could be seen clearly, but everything above the third layer was shrouded in clouds and mist, looming in and out of sight.

At the top of the mountain was a palace, emitting a faint golden light, also looming in and out of sight, feeling very mysterious.

The mountain was very steep, with only a spiral staircase-like mountain path winding up, and the only way to the top was this huge mountain path.

"There's a strong gravity here!"

When they arrived at the foot of Shining Void Mountain, everyone suddenly felt a sinking feeling in their shoulders, as if they were being suppressed by an invisible mountain. Even the group of Immortal Venerables were the same, and their running speed slowed down.

Arriving here, Jiang Han felt an unusual aura. He looked up at the mountain above the clouds and said, "There are many God and Demon races up there. I feel like there are two or three thousand of them."

Yu Xi also sensed it. She nodded slightly, looked around, and her eyes lit up, and she said with joy, "Witch Cloud is nearby!"

Jiang Han followed Yu Xi's gaze and saw Immortal Venerable Witch Cloud in a small cave nearby, and his face showed excitement.

Now that they found Immortal Venerable Witch Cloud, they could find a chance to sneak away at any time.

As for rescuing the Little Imperial Grandson and Nine Profound Fairy?

Jiang Han had no interest in that.
