Wu Shattered Star River

The Ice Snow Sacred Mountain is located in the central part of the Southern Domain. The Ice Snow Clan's territory borders the Azure Feather Clan, making conflicts between the two clans very common.

Five days later, representatives from the seven major powers and the Star Assembly gathered at the Ice Snow Sacred Mountain.

The Sky Ape Clan sent an elder who was a Saint Ruler. The Divine Flame Clan and the Fa Clan also sent elders, all of whom were Saint Rulers.

The remaining three clans all sent Dao Ancestor Realm experts. The Youhun Clan and the Human Clan's Clan Kings arrived. The Star Assembly also sent a Dao Ancestor Realm expert.

Among the seven major clans, the Ice Snow Clan had the deepest hatred for the Azure Feather Clan, followed by the Youhun Clan and the Human Clan. Therefore, these three clans were the most concerned because they were most afraid of being targeted by the Azure Feather Clan.

The Ice Snow Sacred Mountain had a sacred hall. The sacred hall was built very grandly. The Ice Snow Queen sat on the throne of the sacred hall, with four Dao Ancestor Realm experts seated beside her. As for the remaining Saint Rulers, they could only sit on both sides below.

"Everyone!"

The Ice Snow Queen spoke first: "With Ye Wanqiu and Jiang Han joining, the Azure Feather Clan's strength has greatly increased. If it were just them two, it wouldn't really matter, but they set a bad precedent."

"What I'm most worried about is that other Dao Ancestor Realm experts in the Southern Domain will defect to the Azure Feather Clan. When that happens, none of us will have a good time. That's why I've gathered everyone here to discuss this."

The Sky Ape Clan's Saint Ruler spoke first. He stood up and said, "Ice Snow Queen, are you suggesting that we join forces to attack Azure King City? To destroy the Azure Feather Clan completely?"

The Ice Snow Queen glanced at the Sky Ape Clan's Saint Ruler and coldly snorted, "I didn't say that. I'm just gathering everyone to discuss this. After all, we haven't been very friendly to the Azure Feather Clan these past few years. We need to find a way to protect ourselves. No one wants to be exterminated, right?"

"That's right!"

The Youhun Clan's Clan King said in a cold voice, "It's a good thing that Snow Queen called us here to discuss this. Ape Tianling, if your Sky Ape Clan doesn't want to discuss this, you're welcome to leave."

The Human Clan's Kong Family Head said, "That's right, Ape Tianling. If you don't want to talk properly, go back to your Sky Ape Clan. Don't be so sarcastic here."

With the two Clan Kings speaking, the Sky Ape Clan's Saint Ruler didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore. He coldly snorted and sat down.

The Star Assembly's Dao Ancestor Realm expert spoke up: "I think this meeting is very necessary. We must think of a way to stop the Azure Feather Clan from rising. Otherwise, we will all be targeted one by one, we will all die, and we will all be exterminated!"

The Divine Flame Clan's Saint Ruler didn't speak. Another major clan, the Tong Clan's Saint Ruler, said, "I don't think attacking Azure King City is feasible, but killing Ye Wanqiu and Jiang Han, and nipping the Azure Feather Clan's future in the bud, would be perfect."

Ape Tianling nodded and said, "You want to kill Ye Wanqiu, you want to kill Jiang Han, my Sky Ape Clan has no objections. But if you want to attack Azure King City, my Sky Ape Clan will never agree."

Ape Tianling didn't mention Qing Ning, the meaning was very clear. If you can assassinate Qing Ning, then that's your ability. The Sky Ape Clan won't stop you.

But the Sky Ape Clan wouldn't agree to attacking Azure King City. At least, they wouldn't join forces; they would only watch from the sidelines.

The Tong Clan's Saint Ruler asked, "Kill Ye Wanqiu and Jiang Han? If they don't leave Azure King City, how do we kill them?"

The Youhun Clan's Clan King smiled and said, "We just need to find a way to lure them out. For example... we force the Azure Feather Clan to send experts to the Heaven Domain."

"The Azure Feather Clan definitely won't send Dao Ancestor Realm experts. It's very likely that they'll send Jiang Han or Ye Wanqiu. Once they go to the Heaven Domain, wouldn't it be easy to kill them?"

The Tong Clan's Saint Ruler shook his head and said, "They're just honorary elders. If they don't want to fight, the Azure Feather Clan can't force them."

"Heh heh!"

The Youhun Clan's Clan King sneered and said, "As long as we put enough pressure on them, the Azure Feather Clan will help us find a way."

The Kong Family Clan King and the Ice Snow Queen exchanged glances and secretly nodded.

First, kill Ye Wanqiu and Jiang Han to deter the other Dao Ancestor Realm experts and Saint Rulers who want to defect to the Azure Feather Clan. This is very necessary.

As for Qing Ning, we can slowly think of a way. Anyway, Qing Ning still needs time to break through to the Dao Ancestor Realm. She just broke through to the Saint Ruler Realm. Even if she's a genius, it will still take decades for her to break through to the Dao Ancestor Realm, right?

A group of experts discussed for more than two hours, and ultimately broke up somewhat unhappily.

The seven major powers weren't united. Perhaps because Qing Ning broke through to the Saint Ruler Realm, the Sky Ape Clan's views had changed somewhat, and they were leaning towards the Azure Feather Clan.

Although they hadn't completely sided with the Azure Feather Clan, it was almost impossible to get the Sky Ape Clan to help deal with the Azure Feather Clan.

The Sky Ape Clan was now like a scumbag: not proactive, not resistant, and not responsible!

If you want to deal with the Azure Feather Clan, they won't participate, but they will sit idly by. If you want to destroy the Azure Feather Clan, they won't agree.

The Divine Flame Clan and the Fa Clan had always been neutral. They also wouldn't take action against the Azure Feather Clan, but they didn't want the Azure Feather Clan to become stronger and reunify the Southern Domain.

So, the only four powers that actually wanted to destroy the Azure Feather Clan were the Ice Snow Clan, the Youhun Clan, the Human Clan, and the Star Assembly.

The Ice Snow Clan and the Star Assembly had the strongest desires because their two forces would suffer the most from the rise of the Azure Feather Clan.

After discussing for a while, they finally came to a conclusion.

They must find a way to kill Ye Wanqiu and Jiang Han first, because these two not only strengthened the Azure Feather Clan's power, but also created a very bad trend, attracting many experts in the Southern Domain to join the Azure Feather Clan.

There were still many rogue cultivators in the entire Southern Domain. There were quite a few Saint Rulers, and there were still four Dao Ancestor Realm experts.

The Saint Rulers didn't matter, but if two, or even all four, of these Dao Ancestor Realm experts defected to the Azure Feather Clan, then it would be almost impossible to destroy the Azure Feather Clan. Once Qing Ning grew up, it would be the end of the major powers.

Only three days after the meeting, a military report came back from the Heaven Domain front line, saying that the Central Domain had mobilized several Dao Ancestor Realm experts and that the front line was unable to hold on.

The front line requested that the Azure Feather Clan send Dao Ancestor Realm reinforcements, otherwise the front line army wouldn't be able to hold on and they would all retreat.

The front line was peaceful, and all the Central Domain's troops and experts had withdrawn, handing over the entire Heaven Domain.

Now the front line was saying that they couldn't hold on?

This was completely blatant lying, not even bothering to put on an act.

Although the Azure Feather Clan hadn't sent experts to the front line, there was still a Saint Ruler and some clansmen at the front line, so they were very clear about the situation there.

The major powers really didn't want to save face anymore.

Qing Xuefeng was furious after receiving the news.

Qing Xuefeng's combat power wasn't strong, but his mind was still sharp. He was very clear that the major powers were about to take action against the Azure Feather Clan.

They were using the threat of abandoning the Heaven Domain to force the Azure Feather Clan to send Dao Ancestor Realm experts so that they could secretly attack.

Qing Xuefeng gathered a group of clan Saint Rulers and discussed it, and they came to a conclusion—it was aimed at Ye Wanqiu and Jiang Han!

"Your Majesty!"

Qing Qi immediately stood up and said, "We must not send Honorary Elder Ye and Honorary Elder Jiang out! If something happens to them, who will dare to join our clan in the future?"

"The reasoning is sound!"

Another Saint Ruler stood up and said, "If Ye Wanqiu and Jiang Han don't go, are we going to let Old Ancestor Xueyun go? Or are we going to let Seventh Ancestor go? What if something happens to Old Ancestor Xueyun?"

"No one is going!"

Qing Xuefeng, uncharacteristically, didn't wait for the group of Saint Rulers to finish expressing their views and directly made a decision. He said, "The Ice Snow Clan, Youhun Clan, and Human Clan want to force us to cut off our own arms. They're thinking too much."

"Even if the Central Domain hasn't attacked, even if they attack and the Heaven Domain can't hold on, we won't send a single soldier. Not even one."

"The Southern Domain isn't ours, the Azure Feather Clan's, right now. They're threatening us with withdrawal? Then let them withdraw. We don't want the Heaven Domain!"
