Wu Shattered Star River

Seeing everyone looking at him, Jiang Han wasn't intimidated.

He pondered for a moment, then pointed at the bald man and two others, saying, "What do you mean by stealing kills? You were about to be killed by the barbarians. If I hadn't intervened, you would all be corpses by now. Instead of being grateful, you're repaying kindness with enmity?"

Jiang Han then added, "Most of the barbarians I killed were injured, and some were severely wounded. But every time I attacked, it was when you were losing to the barbarians."

"I stole your kills, but I also helped you. When others had the upper hand and were about to kill the barbarians, I never intervened to steal them."

"You're talking nonsense!"

The bald Reincarnation Realm cultivator shouted angrily, "I was clearly gaining the upper hand in the fight with that barbarian and could have easily killed him."

"You intercepted me halfway and even threatened to kill me. You're so young, yet you don't learn good things. How can your character be so bad?"

Jiang Han was speechless. He didn't even bother to retort, sneering, "You're so old, yet you've lived your life in vain. I can't be bothered to argue with you. Lord Gu, you are discerning, I'll listen to you."

"Lord Gu, please do us justice!"

The bald Reincarnation Realm cultivator shouted again, and the others echoed him, with some even mocking Jiang Han in low voices.

Si Li stood aside, silent, watching Lord Gu and waiting for his judgment.

"Silence!"

Lord Gu swept his gaze across the crowd and shouted, "Where are the Shadow Guards?"

"Swish!"

A figure appeared out of thin air in mid-air, his whole body shrouded in a black robe. He flew down, cupped his fist and said, "Lord Gu, this subordinate is here."

Lord Gu looked at the black-robed man and said, "You should have witnessed the entire battle, right? Tell me what actually happened!"

"Ah?"

The bald middle-aged man's expression changed drastically, and fear appeared in his eyes.

The black-robed man bowed and said, "This subordinate witnessed the entire battle. This young man attacked barbarians who were injured or severely wounded. There is indeed a suspicion of picking up scraps."

"But what he said is true. Almost all of the eighteen barbarians he killed were when our side was losing or at a disadvantage."

"He's distorting the truth!"

The black-robed man suddenly pointed at the bald man and said, "At that time, he was clearly losing to the barbarian. If this young man hadn't intervened, he would have been killed by the barbarian."

"Hmm?"

Lord Gu's eyes turned cold as he glanced at the bald man.

"Thump!"

The bald man was terrified and knelt on the ground, kowtowing, "Lord Gu, I was temporarily blinded by greed, please forgive me."

"咻!"

Lord Gu's long sword appeared in his hand, a sword light flashed, and then a head flew up, blood spurting out.

Watching the headless corpse slowly fall, the seven people who had just accused Jiang Han were frightened and knelt on the ground.

Lord Gu put away his long sword, coldly swept his gaze across the crowd, and looked at the black-robed man, saying, "Post this man's deeds throughout the city as a warning. You seven will serve three years in prison. Go to the Battle Hall to receive your punishment."

After speaking, Lord Gu's gaze turned to Jiang Han and said, "You attacked barbarians who were injured and severely wounded. There is indeed a suspicion of stealing merit. Give up two barbarian corpses."

"Yes!"

Although Jiang Han felt a little heartache, Lord Gu killed the bald man and his handling of the matter was very fair, so he didn't dare to say anything.

With a flash of light in his space ring, he threw out two barbarian corpses.

Lord Gu looked at the kneeling seven and said, "You seven will divide these two corpses. Do you have any objections?"

The seven looked at each other, bewildered. Although they were given two barbarian corpses, they received a three-year sentence, which was a considerable loss...

The seven naturally dared not say anything more and all expressed their acceptance.

Lord Gu nodded in satisfaction, glanced at Jiang Han, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Why is a little Sea Realm brat like you here on Golden Island stirring up trouble instead of cultivating properly?"

"Hmm... a golden sin character. What crime did you commit? To be sentenced to such a heavy sentence?"

Jiang Han scratched his nose awkwardly and looked at Si Li.

The latter looked into the distance, not looking at Jiang Han at all, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Jiang Han cupped his fist and said, "Reporting to your Lordship, I killed over a thousand people on Wangyue Island and was sentenced to over three hundred years. This subordinate deserves the punishment and is willing to serve my sentence. I came to participate in the Golden Island battle to reduce my sentence..."

"Over a thousand people?"

"Wangyue Island? You're Jiang Han?"

"The one who made Lujian Peak lose face?"

Some of the nearby cultivators had heard of the Wangyue Island battle and their eyes revealed astonishment.

Shi Chuan glanced at Jiang Han indifferently and nodded, saying, "Boy, I've heard of you. You've got guts!"

"Hehe!"

Ye Luo looked at Si Li and said, "Si Li, it seems you sentenced him to over three hundred years?"

Seeing many eyes turned to her, Si Li said indifferently, "He killed so many people. If it weren't for extenuating circumstances, a thousand years wouldn't have been excessive. Sword Demon Mountain rewards merit and punishes crime!"

"Alright, let's go back!"

Lord Gu waved his hand and took the lead in flying to the top floor of the warship. Si Li turned and flew to follow, disappearing into the cabin.

The others collected the remains and boarded the ship. Jiang Han followed and entered the previous cabin.

When they came, there were ten people in the cabin, but when they returned, there were only six, and three of them were seriously injured.

However, the six people no longer looked at Jiang Han with contempt, and four of them even showed a hint of admiration.

Although Jiang Han's attacks this time were all about picking up scraps, he had indeed killed eighteen barbarians. They had witnessed several battles, and no one doubted Jiang Han's combat power anymore.

"Little brat, not bad!"

An old man even took the initiative to advise, "However, you'd better open the Reincarnation Mystic Realm before participating in the battle. You're still young, don't be impatient, cultivate properly is the right path."

Jiang Han nodded slightly, but said nothing, and sat cross-legged in the corner with his eyes closed.

The warship returned to Heavenly Chaos City. After everyone disembarked, Lord Gu entered Heavenly Chaos City, and Si Li took the Sword Demon Peak people back to Sword Demon Peak.

At the city gate, Si Li paused, her lips moved slightly, and a voice sounded in Jiang Han's ear: "Jiang Han, in the Golden Island battle, if you are targeted by a Celestial Realm cultivator, you will surely die!"

After Si Li finished transmitting her voice, she glanced at Jiang Han indifferently and walked straight into the city.

Jiang Han looked at Si Li's departing back, his eyes still unusually firm. After waiting for a moment, he entered the battle camp in the city.

A steward of the battle camp was shocked to see the sixteen barbarian corpses that Jiang Han threw out.

The other stewards nearby gathered around, and after confirming that they were Reincarnation Realm barbarians, they were all dumbfounded.

As stewards of the battle camp, they saw many corpses every day, and even Celestial Realm corpses were not uncommon.

But it was the first time they had seen a Sea Realm cultivator like Jiang Han throwing out so many Reincarnation Realm barbarian corpses.

"My goodness!"

A steward with a glint in his eyes said, "So much merit, can he enter the Merit List?"

Another steward took out a Merit Book and helped Jiang Han to calculate it, saying, "Adding the previous merit, it's just enough to enter the Merit List, estimated to be in the nineties."

"It's a pity that he is a convict, and the merit is halved, otherwise it is estimated that he can enter the top seventy of the Merit List."

"Entered the Merit List?"

Jiang Han was overjoyed. He had only participated in the battle twice. If he could participate in the Golden Island battle every two days and get so much merit each time, it was a certainty that he would enter the top ten.

He quickly said, "Is there a Golden Island battle tomorrow? I'm signing up to participate!"

A steward flipped through it and said, "No, there is one the day after tomorrow. But there are two Golden Island defense battles tomorrow, and there are still places available. Are you signing up to participate?"
