Wu Shattered Star River

Jiang Han had come up this time to acquire four celestial objects, so naturally, he didn't want to stir up trouble.

White Jade City was the overlord of the Eastern Region, and even more so, a supreme existence to the Great World.

Any random Dao Ancestor Realm expert from White Jade City could flatten the entire Great World. The Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall, the Heavenly Court, God King Mountain, the River of Bloodshed – White Jade City could destroy them all with a single word.

Jiang Han now strongly suspected that the Ancient God Clan had been wiped out by White Jade City back then; otherwise, it was impossible for a super clan to have all its experts die for no reason. Only White Jade City had that kind of power.

Therefore, Jiang Han would not provoke any major clans affiliated with White Jade City if he could avoid it. That would not only bring about his own demise but also create hidden dangers for his clansmen, relatives, and friends in the Great World.

A manager from the Xu Clan had deceived him. He had handed over the Sacred Fire Stone, thinking he would enter Blue Capital City as a guard or soldier, but he never expected to be sent to mine.

Mining was one thing, but the Xu Clan really treated them like slaves, killing them at the slightest provocation.

However, Jiang Han endured this humiliation, thinking that as long as he earned enough merit points, he could rescue Lao Deng and the others, and then he would have nothing more to do with the Xu Clan.

But he never expected the Xu Clan's Second Manager to brutally kill Golden Fur, Red Fur, and Yu Changqing.

These were all Jiang Han's battle slaves. Jiang Han had brought them out from under Blood Saint Mountain, and they had willingly become Jiang Han's battle slaves. Jiang Han had always been protecting them, not letting them die in vain.

Over the years, Jiang Han had actually treated them quite well.

Having spent so many years together, they had developed some feelings. In Jiang Han's heart, he didn't treat them as battle slaves, but as friends and subordinates.

Now they were all dead…

Brutally murdered!

Jiang Han hadn't originally held much hatred for the Xu Clan, but now this hatred couldn't be resolved.

As long as he had the opportunity, he would definitely retaliate against the Xu Clan. At the very least, the Second Manager and Xu Leopard had to be killed.

Sensing the killing intent on Jiang Han's body, Liu Fangfei frowned slightly. She said, "Jiang Han, don't be impulsive. Xu Ying is in the Saint Ruler Realm and is the Tenth Floor Master's favorite descendant. If you want to seek revenge on her, there's basically no hope."

"To take a step back, even if you could kill Xu Ying, you would definitely die! The Tenth Floor Master won't let you go!"

Lu Yu sat on the side without speaking but nodded in agreement, giving Jiang Han a look, hoping he wouldn't be impulsive.

"Heh heh!"

Jiang Han smiled and said, "I'm not that stupid. Thank you, Holy Ruler Liu, for your help. We're even. Goodbye."

Jiang Han cupped his fist in salute and left with Lao Deng. Liu Fangfei chuckled, sneering at Lu Yu, "Is this guy from your human race quite arrogant? So many sons of wealthy families flock to us like flies. He's the opposite; he can't wait to get far away from us, not wanting to be with us for a moment. Are we that annoying?"

Lu Yu smiled gently, rolling her eyes at Liu Fangfei, and laughed, "Don't you know how domineering you are? Who without a strong background would dare to get close to us? If they were slapped to death by you, they would die in vain."

Liu Fangfei was a little speechless, saying, "I'm not a lunatic. Why would I kill people for no reason? Those young masters are like maggots, constantly swarming around us. If I wasn't more domineering, I would be annoyed to death every day. You ungrateful one, how many times have I taken action, wasn't it to protect you?"

"Hehe!"

Lu Yu smiled sweetly, kissing Liu Fangfei on her delicate face, coaxing, "Alright, I know you're good to me. Okay, the Ice God Fruit is in hand. Let's not stay in Heavenly Domain City anymore; let's go back to White Capital City, shall we?"

"Mm!"

Liu Fangfei nodded, "Let's go back. This place isn't fun at all. Let's go back to Green Willow Manor."

…

Jiang Han returned to Heavenly Thunder Fortress with a gloomy expression, bringing Lao Deng with him. After returning, he called Yu Qi over and then dissolved the mark within their souls for both of them.

"Uh…"

Lao Deng and Yu Qi exchanged a glance, both somewhat shocked. They had previously said they would serve Jiang Han for ten thousand years. Later, due to continuous meritorious service, Jiang Han reduced some of their sentences. They still had seven or eight thousand years left, but they never expected Jiang Han to restore their freedom now.

Jiang Han said with a pained expression, "I shouldn't have brought you up here, causing Red Fur, Golden Fur, Hei Wu, and Yu Changqing to die tragically. I brought you out from under Blood Saint Mountain, and you have followed me for many years. Originally, according to the agreement, you still had to serve for several thousand years."

"However… the Land of Bitter Winter is too dangerous. It's too dangerous for you to follow me, so I can't guarantee your safety in the future."

"Now I'll give you two a choice. I can arrange for you to join the Heavenly Thunder Army, and you can stay comfortably in the Heavenly Thunder Army in the future."

"Another choice is that you continue to follow me. I can't guarantee your absolute safety in the future, but as long as I don't die, and you don't die, I will definitely not let you starve in the future."

Lao Deng and Yu Qi exchanged glances again. They didn't suspect Jiang Han of playing a trick, because there was no need.

As long as Jiang Han didn't dissolve the mark within their souls, their lives would be in Jiang Han's hands. Jiang Han had the power of life and death over them, so there was no need to do these things.

Therefore, Jiang Han sincerely gave them freedom and gave them the right to choose.

After so many years of getting along, they had some understanding of Jiang Han's character.

Yu Qi didn't hesitate for too long. He said, "Master, I choose to continue following you, even if it means death!"

Jiang Han was a little surprised. Yu Qi was introverted, usually a silent gourd. Jiang Han thought he would choose to join the Heavenly Thunder Army, but he didn't expect him to not even hesitate?

He asked, "Why didn't you even consider it?"

Yu Qi smiled wryly and said, "The Land of Bitter Winter is too dangerous. Emperor-level is nothing here. What's the point of joining the Heavenly Thunder Army? It's still easy to die on missions."

"Master… I'm optimistic about your future. You will definitely break through to the Dao Ancestor Realm in the future, and even become one of the Floor Masters of White Jade City. Following you won't be wrong."

Lao Deng nodded when he heard Yu Qi's words, "Master, I'm unfamiliar with this place. I don't know where to go. I'll still follow you. It's comfortable following you."

Yu Qi's words reminded Lao Deng of many things. When Jiang Han was imprisoned under Blood Saint Mountain, Lao Deng didn't think much of him.

How many years has it been? Jiang Han kills Heavenly Emperors like slaughtering dogs. Although Jiang Han is a Body Refiner, it feels like his future is limitless.

Most importantly!

Lao Deng has no clansmen anymore. Jiang Han treats them very well. Following Jiang Han, he inexplicably feels at ease.

"Alright!"

Jiang Han smiled bitterly, took them out, went to find Lei Fengyu, and applied for identity tokens for the two of them, letting them join the Heavenly Thunder Army.

However, the identities of the two of them were still under Jiang Han's command. The merits they established would be recorded in Jiang Han's name. If they caused trouble and made mistakes, it would naturally also be recorded in Jiang Han's name…

This little thing was nothing to Lei Fengyu. Lao Deng's combat power was comparable to a Heavenly Emperor, and Yu Qi was also Emperor-level. It was a good thing to have two such experts join the Heavenly Thunder Army.

After completing the identity tokens, Jiang Han threw out two rings and said, "There are some resources here. You can exchange them for Sacred Fire Stones, and you can also buy the resources needed for cultivation. There is a Spring Breeze Pavilion in the city. You can go and have fun if you want. We will stay in Heavenly Domain City for another two months before returning to Blue Capital City."

Lao Deng and Yu Qi took the rings and glanced at them. The eyes of the two great experts suddenly shrank. Lao Deng said, "Master, have you made a fortune? Why are there so many top-level resources?"

Yu Qi smiled and said, "Master Deng, you may not know, Master has gone crazy killing in Heavenly Domain City during this time. Twenty or thirty Heavenly Emperors have died directly or indirectly in his hands…"

Jiang Han patted Lao Deng on the shoulder and said, "I said we share honor and disgrace. My resources are yours. I'm a Body Refiner, so there's no use for so many resources. You should spend more time improving yourselves."

"When we are strong enough, we will kill the Seventh Miss and avenge Golden Fur and Red Fur!"
