Wu Shattered Star River

The Eastern Realm's immortal portal is now closed, its entrances and exits sealed. All clansmen are staying on Eastern Emperor Mountain, and many servants are filled with unease, but Jiang Han isn't particularly nervous.

Jiang Han believes the Jade Emperor wouldn't dare act recklessly. Daring to move against him would be equivalent to declaring war on their faction.

With the immortal portal closed, the envoy sent by the Jade Emperor to deliver the decree couldn't be teleported over. The envoy could only arrange for someone to transmit a message via immortal talisman to Heavenly Camel, so Heavenly Camel could relay the Jade Emperor's decree.

"Asking me to defend myself?"

After hearing this, Jiang Han revealed a cold smile and said, "I won't go. Just say I've caught a cold and can't walk."

Heavenly Camel and Heavenly Demon exchanged a glance, both somewhat speechless. Jiang Han didn't even want to bother with an excuse?

Jiang Han's physical body wouldn't be affected by a cold, even if it were submerged in the Nine Nether Cold Pool for a year; he wouldn't get sick.

However, after thinking about it, Heavenly Camel and Heavenly Demon felt that Jiang Han was right not to go to the Celestial Court. Now that the Azure Emperor and Eastern Heavenly Emperor were absent, if he went to the Celestial Court and was imprisoned by the Jade Emperor, the Azure Emperor and Eastern Heavenly Emperor would be in a very passive position.

After waiting for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Heavenly Camel transmitted a message, saying that Jiang Han had been attacked by a mysterious powerhouse, suffered severe injuries, and was currently unconscious and healing. He wouldn't be able to go to the Celestial Court in a short time.

In any case, the Eastern Realm was sealed, and no one could enter. Even if the Jade Emperor knew it was an excuse, what could he do? Could he possibly send someone to forcibly blast open the realm?

The envoy reported Heavenly Camel's message to the Jade Emperor, and the Hall of Universal Brightness immediately became noisy.

"Attacked by a mysterious powerhouse? Is it true or false?"

"It's fake. Ordinary Immortal Emperors can't defeat him. How could a Heavenly Emperor possibly launch a sneak attack on him? This is obviously an excuse!"

"Is it possible that a supreme expert from the God or Demon race came to launch a sneak attack?"

"The Military Intelligence Division has arranged scouts everywhere, but there's no feedback. This is obviously fake."

"Whether it's true or false, wouldn't it be known if someone were sent to check? I think Jiang Han is deliberately hiding. He's lawless and doesn't respect the holy decree!"

A group of powerhouses clamored noisily, but the Jade Emperor remained expressionless. He pondered for a moment and turned his gaze to the Longevity Heavenly Emperor and Southern Heavenly Emperor, saying, "Lu Qing, you are proficient in healing arts. Why don't you go and help Jiang Han heal? Xu Qing, go and take a look with him."

The Longevity Heavenly Emperor and Southern Heavenly Emperor exchanged a glance, both understanding the Jade Emperor's meaning.

The Jade Emperor wanted them to persuade Jiang Han not to make things too tense. He should step down if given a way out; the Jade Emperor needed face.

The Longevity Heavenly Emperor and Southern Heavenly Emperor stepped forward and bowed, saying, "As you command!"

After the Longevity Heavenly Emperor and Southern Heavenly Emperor left the Hall of Universal Brightness, the Southern Heavenly Emperor directly took out an immortal talisman and transmitted a message to Jiang Han, informing him that they were going to visit the Eastern Realm and asking Jiang Han to open the immortal portal.

Upon receiving the message, Jiang Han didn't hesitate and had Heavenly Camel open the immortal portal seal.

He couldn't trust the others, but he trusted the Longevity Heavenly Emperor and Southern Heavenly Emperor. At least these two wouldn't harm him.

The Eastern Realm and the Celestial Court had a direct teleportation array. After the immortal portal was opened, the Longevity Heavenly Emperor and Southern Heavenly Emperor teleported over directly.

After the two teleported over, Heavenly Camel immediately sealed the immortal portal.

"What are you doing?"

The Longevity Heavenly Emperor glared at Heavenly Camel and said, "Sealing the realm at every turn, even the Celestial Court's special envoys can't enter. Who are you guarding against? Is the Eastern Realm still part of the Celestial Court?"

"Hehe!"

Heavenly Camel smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Longevity Heavenly Emperor, please don't be offended. We're just being cautious. It's always wise to be careful, better safe than sorry."

The Longevity Heavenly Emperor was too lazy to chat with Heavenly Camel and strode outside, heading towards Jiang Han's courtyard.

Outside the courtyard, Jiang Han led Heavenly Demon, Si Li, Immortal Maiden Firefly, and Yan Qin out to greet them.

The Longevity Heavenly Emperor looked at Jiang Han and said in annoyance, "Weren't you attacked by a mysterious powerhouse? Weren't you unconscious? How… how did your injuries heal so quickly?"

"Hehe!"

Jiang Han smiled and said, "Uncle Lu, please don't be angry, come in!"

The Longevity Heavenly Emperor walked inside with a dark face, but the Southern Heavenly Emperor wasn't angry. Instead, he smiled at Jiang Han, secretly gave him a thumbs up, and whispered, "Kid, well done. It's a pity that Kun Shan isn't in the Kun Emperor Realm this time, otherwise it would be good to kill Kun Shan."

Jiang Han smiled and whispered, "Uncle Xu, how about I find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack on him later?"

The Southern Heavenly Emperor and Jiang Han winked at each other. The Longevity Heavenly Emperor in front had an even darker face. He stopped and glared at the two, saying, "Are you two pretending I don't exist? Why don't you two go to the Celestial Court now and kill His Majesty, and Jiang Han, you become the Jade Emperor, and Old Xu, you become the Azure Emperor?"

Jiang Han and the Southern Heavenly Emperor both touched their noses, smiled sheepishly, and Jiang Han laughed, "Uncle Lu, don't be angry, Uncle Xu and I are just joking."

The Southern Heavenly Emperor followed suit and laughed, saying, "Old Lu, don't be annoyed. You know what kind of person I am. Just a joke, just a joke."

"Hmph!"

The Longevity Heavenly Emperor snorted twice. Of course, he knew what kind of person the Southern Heavenly Emperor was—this one was an absolute supporter of the Azure Emperor. He wished the two major factions would immediately fight, and he wished he could put an imperial robe on the Azure Emperor so he could support the Azure Emperor's ascension.

Entering the inner hall, the Longevity Heavenly Emperor sat down. Immortal Maiden Firefly personally served tea to the Longevity Heavenly Emperor and Southern Heavenly Emperor, then obediently sat beside Jiang Han, while Si Li and Yan Qin retreated.

The Longevity Heavenly Emperor glanced at Immortal Maiden Firefly and asked, "When are the Azure Emperor and your father coming back?"

Jiang Han said, "I don't know. I can't contact them now, and I don't know what's happening on Lake Hulun's side."

The Longevity Heavenly Emperor said, "His Majesty has summoned you. You should still go, don't make things so tense!"

Heavenly Camel, who was sitting below, said, "What if the Jade Emperor imprisons the young master? Then the Commander and the Azure Emperor will be very passive."

The Southern Heavenly Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "I think it's better not to go. If you have to go, wait for the Azure Emperor and Brother Jiang to come back."

The Longevity Heavenly Emperor frowned and said, "His Majesty is still waiting in the Hall of Universal Brightness. If you don't go, how will he step down? He's just asking you to defend yourself, he shouldn't imprison you!"

"You were too impulsive in this matter. You can discuss things slowly and use gentler methods."

"You're overturning the table at every turn, making the situation so tense. The Celestial Court is now severely weakened and can't withstand any more turmoil."

"Think about it, if a civil war breaks out, the Celestial Court will definitely be severely weakened. Who can stop the God and Demon races from joining forces again? You're not a child anymore, don't be so impulsive."

Jiang Han was silent for a moment and said, "Uncle Lu, this time I really don't want to make things big, otherwise I wouldn't have escorted so many people to the Celestial Court, I would have killed them all in the lower realm."

"I followed the procedures, but how did they handle things? Not a single high-level member of the Kun family was dealt with. The lives of those ten thousand children in the lower realm are now uncertain!"

"Since they're playing dirty, can't I play dirty too?"

"I won't go to the Celestial Court. If they have the guts, they can come to the Eastern Realm and imprison me."

"I'll put my words out there—if the Jade Emperor sends someone to imprison me, I'll take all my relatives and clansmen away and directly rebel against the Celestial Court. I'll have a good time playing with them. If they can kill me, then they're capable!"
