Wu Shattered Star River

Jiang Han returned to Tiger Head Peak and found Marquis Liyang.

After Marquis Liyang heard Jiang Han's account, he said nothing and did nothing, instead continuing to bury himself in military affairs.

Jiang Han waited for a moment and grew anxious, bowing and saying, "Marquis Liyang, won't you try to save them? If you don't intervene, they might all die in battle!"

"Save them?"

Marquis Liyang raised his head and frowned, saying, "How to save them? Send all the ninth-level Dao Peering Realm cultivators from here? Would that save them?"

"Do you know that the combined number of ninth-level Dao Peering Realm cultivators from the three races is twice that of ours here? Without the divine formation's buff, even if we all go, it would only be a waste of lives!"

Jiang Han roughly knew some of the situation; the combined number of ninth-level Dao Peering Realm cultivators from the three races far exceeded their side, but he still couldn't understand Marquis Liyang's indifference.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Can't you and Marquis Yanbei take action? Are we just going to watch them die?"

"We can't!"

Marquis Liyang said expressionlessly, "The Northern Dipper King made an agreement with the Ghost Race's Dao Harmonization experts in the past that Dao Entry Realm experts cannot participate in the war."

"If we move, the Dao Entry experts of the three races will also join the battle, and the situation will become even more unfavorable. It would be very difficult to rely on the divine formation to suppress Dao Entry Realm experts!"

"Don't worry about it!"

Marquis Liyang sighed slightly and said, "The commando team was always a risky endeavor, and something could happen at any time. They had long been prepared to die in battle."

"For the sake of the millions of Northern Dipper troops in the Northern Dipper Realm, they can die, and I and Marquis Yanbei can also die!"

Jiang Han fell silent, remembering the Star Dust Realm.

If the Savage Race really descended, then the human experts of the Star Dust Realm would also sacrifice themselves like moths to a flame to protect their people, right?

"Alas..."

Jiang Han's expression turned bitter. If he wanted Marquis Yanbei to send a few hundred eighth-level Dao Peering Realm cultivators to help the Star Dust Realm open up the realm river, he would have to make unparalleled contributions.

What is considered unparalleled contributions? It would only be helping the Northern Dipper Army win this battle.

The problem is...

Could he reverse the situation? Even experts of the level of Lord Yellow Springs and Lord Phoenix Plume might die in battle. How could he, a seventh-level Dao Peering Realm cultivator, possibly turn the tide?

He cupped his hands and said nothing more, retreating and returning to his earth fortress, directly entering seclusion.

After Jiang Han left, Marquis Liyang said in a deep voice, "Fang Pu!"

Commander Fang's figure flashed, and he rushed in, cupping his hands and saying, "My Lord!"

Marquis Liyang ordered, "Investigate the situation of Lord Yellow Springs and Lord Phoenix Plume with all our strength. Have Lord Lushang, Lord Tianya, and the others stand by. If there is a possibility of rescue, be ready to provide it at any time."

"Yes, sir!"

Commander Fang quickly went down to make arrangements, and Marquis Liyang stood up and looked at the map behind him, his expression turning gloomy.

He actually knew in his heart that there was no way to rescue them over there unless they could escape on their own, but the hope was very slim.

What he had said to Jiang Han just now was true. He couldn't send a large number of ninth-level Dao Peering Realm cultivators to forcibly rescue them; that would only cause more ninth-level Dao Peering Realm cultivators to die there.

Dao Entry Realm experts couldn't participate in the war, otherwise, the consequences would be even more serious.

He could only hope now that the four of them would be blessed by the heavens and have the luck to escape...

Time passed bit by bit. Jiang Han went into seclusion for a while and soon woke up.

He was concerned about the safety of Lord Phoenix Plume and the other three, and he couldn't calm down and cultivate at all.

One incense stick, two incense sticks, half an hour!

"咻!"

Commander Fang rushed towards Marquis Liyang's earth fortress like a sharp arrow. Jiang Han noticed it and quickly rushed out, standing outside Marquis Liyang's earth fortress to inquire about the news.

After Commander Fang rushed in, Marquis Liyang suddenly raised his head and asked, "What's the situation?"

Commander Fang's expression was very solemn. He replied, "Just received news that Lord Yellow Springs and Lord Phoenix Plume were teleported to Cloud Peak Mountain. However, both of them were severely injured and passed out as soon as they were teleported over."

Marquis Liyang breathed a sigh of relief, then asked in confusion, "How did the two of them teleport back? Didn't Lord Cloudwing teleport them? What about Lord Black Tortoise?"

Commander Fang shook his head and said, "Haven't received accurate news yet, but I feel... it's likely to be ominous!"

Marquis Liyang waved his hand and said, "Order Lord Yellow Springs and Lord Phoenix Plume to be sent to Tiger Head Peak!"

Commander Fang exited the earth fortress. Jiang Han was waiting outside. Seeing Commander Fang come out, he quickly asked, "Commander Fang, is there news about Lord Yellow Springs and Lord Phoenix Plume?"

"Lord Yellow Springs and Lord Phoenix Plume escaped back, but there's no news about the other two!"

Commander Fang replied and quickly left. Jiang Han's face showed joy.

The two of them were actually able to escape from such a certain-death situation? This made him unbelievable.

After another two hours, another piece of news came back that Lord Cloudwing had died in battle.

The reason why Lord Yellow Springs and Lord Phoenix Plume were able to teleport back was that Lord Cloudwing burned his own altar and used a kind of space principle that had not yet been fully formed to forcibly teleport the two away.

After teleporting the two away, Lord Cloudwing's body exploded, falling apart and leaving no whole body.

Lord Black Tortoise didn't die. Under the siege of more than twenty experts, Lord Black Tortoise fought and fled. Relying on his super powerful defense, he actually crossed eighty thousand miles and was rescued by more than a dozen Marquis-level experts on this side.

However, his injuries were extremely serious, leaving only a breath hanging on, and it was estimated that he would have to recuperate for half a year...

Lord Yellow Springs and Lord Phoenix Plume were sent to Tiger Head Peak. Jiang Han took a look from afar.

The two of them were wrapped up all over, their aura extremely weak. Lord Yellow Springs lost both legs, and Lord Phoenix Plume lost one hand; it was a tragic sight.

It was already a miracle that three of the four could survive.

Jiang Han's heart finally calmed down, and he entered the earth fortress and began to ponder.

Lord Cloudwing died in battle, and Lord Yellow Springs and Lord Phoenix Plume were estimated to recuperate for at least two months. The commando team was in a semi-disbanded state.

Without Lord Cloudwing, continuing to attack as easily as before would feel several times more difficult, and Marquis Liyang would not agree to the commando team continuing to take risks.

If the commando team couldn't play a role, what could Jiang Han rely on to make great contributions?

So he realized that he had only one path to take, which was to buy time and evolve another powerful Dao.

Evolve a super Dao that could allow him to resist a group of ninth-level Dao Peering Realm cultivators without dying. Only then would he have the opportunity to make unparalleled contributions, only then would he have the opportunity to reverse the battle, and only then would Marquis Yanbei agree to help the Star Dust Realm.

After figuring all this out, Jiang Han got up and walked out of the earth fortress to seek an audience with Marquis Liyang.

Marquis Liyang had a good impression of him, and although he was busy with military affairs, he still summoned him.

After Jiang Han bowed and saluted, he said, "Marquis Liyang, can the Northern Dipper Army hold on for half a year?"

Marquis Liyang frowned and said, "If there are no accidents... it should be possible!"

Jiang Han nodded and said, "Then can you give me half a year? I want to go into seclusion for half a year. I want to evolve a powerful Dao. If I succeed, my combat power will be greatly improved, and perhaps... I can reverse the current battle."

"Huh?"

Marquis Liyang thought he had misheard and blinked his eyes, seeing that Jiang Han didn't mean to joke.

He smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Go ahead, this Marquis will give you half a year. If you can reverse the battle, this Marquis will personally go to the Northern Dipper King to ask for credit for you, and this Marquis will take care of the Star Dust Realm's affairs!"

"Thank you, Marquis Liyang!"

Jiang Han's eyes lit up, and a look of joy appeared on his face. After thanking him again, he retreated.

"Half a year? Super Dao? Reverse the battle? The kids these days are more boastful than the last..."

After Jiang Han left, Marquis Liyang smiled dumbly, chuckled twice, and then ignored it, continuing to bury himself in military affairs.
