Wu Shattered Star River

Several of the Tower Lords ignored Jiang Han, as Jiang Han was no longer important.

A mysterious powerhouse was causing chaos in the Eastern Region, having already captured six Dao Ancestor Realms. How could the Tower Lords tolerate such behavior?

The group of Tower Lords immediately teleported away, heading towards White Willow Sect at top speed.

However, just as they teleported over, another message arrived, stating that a four-star sect had been attacked. Their sect master engaged in a fierce battle with a mysterious powerhouse, and then, under the watchful eyes of many cultivators, this Dao Ancestor Realm was captured and taken away.

Seven Dao Ancestor Realms now!

When the news reached White Jade Capital, the Grand Tower Lord could no longer sit still. He immediately issued a Tower Lord decree, summoning the remaining Tower Lords to the Saint Tower for a meeting.

The Third, Fourth, Seventh, and Tenth Tower Lords continued to track the mysterious powerhouse.

Before half a day had passed, all the Tower Lords had teleported to White Capital City, gathering in the Saint Tower on a high mountain north of the city for a meeting.

The Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth, Eleventh, and Twelfth Tower Lords all arrived, creating a chaotic uproar within the Saint Tower.

The Fifth and Eighth Tower Lords advocated for a full-force attack, insisting on killing the mysterious powerhouse, or the entire Eastern Region would become a laughingstock for the other regions.

Lei Ni裳 and Shadow Kill, however, advocated for observing the situation first. They believed that since the mysterious powerhouse was only capturing and not killing, there might be room for negotiation.

If they pursued the powerhouse now, he might become enraged and kill the seven captured Dao Ancestor Realms, which would be a significant loss for the entire Eastern Region.

The Grand Tower Lord sat silently on the throne in the center, feeling hesitant and uncertain.

To be honest, he was very annoyed, and even considered taking action himself to kill the powerhouse several times.

But in the end, he restrained himself!

He wasn't afraid that the mysterious powerhouse would kill the seven Dao Ancestor Realms; he was concerned about the powerhouse's identity!

According to the information returned by the Fourth Tower Lord and other signs, the mysterious powerhouse was likely Yao Ning, the Great Steward from the Northern Region!

He was a Dao Ancestor Realm Seventh Level, and he could easily kill Yao Ning if he took action!

However, Yao Ning's identity was not ordinary. Behind him stood the Northern Region Great Emperor, a Dao Ancestor Realm Eighth Level, and the entire Northern Region.

If he killed Yao Ning, would the Northern Region Great Emperor be furious?

Zhen Ji was in the Northern Region. If the Northern Region Great Emperor became enraged and joined forces with Zhen Ji to attack the Eastern Region, and if Lei Ni裳, Shadow Kill, and City Lord Ding turned against them, what would they use to defend?

Furthermore, the Northern, Southern, and Eastern Regions had already formed a military alliance. If the Southern Region also sent troops, the Eastern Region would be completely finished, and they would all die.

Therefore, the Grand Tower Lord was very conflicted, and also unusually frustrated and furious.

After arguing for half an hour, the Grand Tower Lord finally spoke, "Old Liu and Old Kou are already in pursuit, that's enough. Let's hold back and observe the situation first. Don't leave, just wait here, so we can respond to any situation at any time!"

The Grand Tower Lord ultimately did not act impulsively, but chose to observe the situation. He feared that once he took action, the situation would be irreversible, and they would have no choice but to fight to the end.

News kept coming back, but it was all trivial, such as where the Third Tower Lord and others had tracked him to, or in what area the mysterious powerhouse had appeared.

The Tower Lords were tracking him very quickly, but the mysterious powerhouse's escape techniques were very strong. He kept wandering around the Eastern Region. Although the Tower Lords were constantly chasing him, they shouldn't be able to catch up in a short time.

"Old Xiong!"

The Fifth Tower Lord stood up and said, "How about I take two Tower Lords and conscript some more Dao Ancestor Realms? We can go ahead and block him, we'll definitely be able to stop him!"

The Grand Tower Lord was still hesitant. He thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait a bit longer!"

Time passed quickly. After another half a day, a Saint Sovereign walked in and said, "Reporting to the Tower Lords, Fan Dongyang requests an audience."

"Hmm?"

The Fifth Tower Lord's eyes flashed with killing intent, and he said coldly, "He dares to come? Isn't he afraid we'll kill him?"

The Ninth Tower Lord stood up and said, "Old Tan, calm down. Let's hear what he has to say first. Perhaps... he's here to negotiate terms on behalf of Yao Ning?"

The Grand Tower Lord nodded and glanced at the Fifth Tower Lord, "Old Tan, don't speak later. Let Fan Dongyang in."

The Saint Sovereign left, and after a moment, brought Fan Dongyang in.

When Fan Dongyang entered, the Fifth and Eighth Tower Lords' expressions immediately darkened, and they glared at him.

Fan Dongyang didn't seem to notice, and cupped his hands, saying, "Greetings, Tower Lords!"

The Grand Tower Lord asked expressionlessly, "Fan Dongyang, what brings you here?"

Fan Dongyang said, "I'm here to say goodbye. I just received news from the Northern Region that His Majesty is preparing to temporarily suspend the alliance with the Eastern Region, and wants me to return first!"

"What?"

The Ninth Tower Lord and the others were shocked, and exchanged glances, their eyes filled with surprise and suspicion.

The Northern Region Great Emperor wasn't preparing to ally with the Eastern Region anymore? What madness had possessed the Northern Region Great Emperor? They had agreed to a four-region alliance to attack the Central Region, so why was he suddenly withdrawing from the alliance?

Lei Ni裳 and Shadow Kill exchanged a glance, their eyes lighting up.

The Northern Region Great Emperor had suddenly withdrawn from the alliance. Was he planning to join forces with Zhen Ji to attack the Eastern Region? If that were the case, their opportunity to rise had arrived.

The Grand Tower Lord's expression immediately turned cold. He said, "What does Yao Ao mean? Does he think he can ally and withdraw whenever he wants? Does he think we're monkeys to be played with?"

"I apologize!"

Fan Dongyang bowed and said, "This matter is beyond my control. I'm just acting on orders. I hope the Tower Lords will understand. Then... I'll take my leave? We'll return to the Northern Region tomorrow!"

A flash of killing intent appeared in the Fifth Tower Lord's eyes, and he looked towards the Grand Tower Lord, but the Grand Tower Lord shook his head.

Killing or capturing Fan Dongyang was meaningless, and would only completely escalate the situation. The Grand Tower Lord waved his hand and said, "You may leave."

Fan Dongyang bowed in thanks, and then retreated from the Saint Tower.

As soon as Fan Dongyang left, the Saint Tower erupted. The Fifth Tower Lord cursed loudly, and the other Tower Lords discussed animatedly.

The Ninth Tower Lord and the others were somewhat panicked. If the Northern Region Great Emperor really didn't agree to the alliance, there was a high probability that he would join forces with Zhen Ji, and even the Southern Region, to attack the Eastern Region. At that time, the Eastern Region would be drenched in blood, and countless lives would be lost.

The Eastern Region's landscape would undergo a major change, and the overall strength of the Eastern Region would be severely weakened, and perhaps... the Eastern Region might even become a subordinate region of the Northern Region.

The Grand Tower Lord was also somewhat panicked, but his composure was deeper. His expression was impassive, and he didn't speak, but sat in silence.

Three hours later, the Saint Sovereign walked in again, and reported, "Reporting to the Tower Lords, City Lord Ding has arrived!"

"Hmm?"

The Grand Tower Lord suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with cold light. Lei Ni裳 and Shadow Kill stood up at that moment, and the Fifth and Ninth Tower Lords and the others were very nervous.

"Is he alone?"

The Grand Tower Lord asked, and after receiving confirmation, he said, "Invite him in!"

After a moment, a thin old man walked in, and a group of Tower Lords stood up to greet him. Even the Grand Tower Lord stood up very politely, and arranged for City Lord Ding to sit beside him.

"Old Ding!"

After City Lord Ding sat down, the Grand Tower Lord asked, "What brings you here?"

City Lord Ding rarely came to White Capital City, and usually stayed in Heavenly Domain City to oversee it. After sitting down, he took a sip of tea and said slowly, "This old man is here to help you resolve this predicament!"

"Resolve this predicament?"

A group of Tower Lords exchanged glances, all somewhat puzzled. They had discussed it for a long time, but hadn't come up with a good solution to break the current deadlock.

"Don't you understand yet?"

City Lord Ding smiled and said, "Those seven Dao Ancestor Realms were only captured, not killed. Fan Dongyang said he was leaving, but didn't leave immediately, but was waiting until tomorrow... they're waiting for your attitude."

"I can guarantee that as long as the Saint Tower Council passes a resolution to release Ye Wanqiu and pardon Jiang Han's crimes, those seven Dao Ancestor Realms will be released immediately, Fan Dongyang will definitely not leave, and the alliance will be signed immediately!"
