Chapter 1034

Except for Zhou Yuanwu, Xu Jingming had only seen information about the other three Supreme Beings online.

Now that he saw them in person, the feeling was different.

The Bear Country's Supreme Being Arthur had wild, fanatical long hair and a rugged appearance.

The EU Supreme Being Charlotte was refined and gentlemanly.

The US Supreme Being Evelyn bore a seven- or eight-tenths resemblance to Catherine but possessed far greater maturity; her beautiful eyes were clear and sharp.

This Pope's husband had died over a decade ago, and since then she had not remarried.

She devoted herself entirely to martial cultivation and had only one daughter: Catherine.

Evelyn's perception was extremely keen; as Xu Jingming observed her, her gaze turned toward him.

Her eyes conveyed not only superiority but also a hint of warning.

It seemed to be reminding him of the Sakura Nation incident.

Xu Jingming, protected by two Supreme Beings—Emers and Zhou Yuanwu—was unafraid and glared back fiercely.

"This guy..."

Evelyn's cold, beautiful eyes instantly flashed with anger.

As a Supreme Being, when had she ever been countered by a lower-tier Ninth Stage?

Even just a glance was unacceptable!

But other Supreme Beings were present, so she could not act.

At that moment, Zhou Yuanwu beside her smiled and spoke:

"Welcome, Grand Priestess, to our Blue Star United Nations meeting. Please come inside."

"You wait below."

Emers gave an order, then flew with Zhou Yuanwu and the others to the building's highest floor.

Xu Jingming and the others landed on the ground.

As soon as they landed, a ceremonial hostess bowed respectfully:

"Honorable Councilors, this way, please."

The ceremonial hostess was a native of Iceland, with a typical Western face, yet she spoke fluent Second Civilization language.

Clearly, she and others had already received corresponding training.

Under the ceremonial hostess's guidance, they quickly entered the hall.

The entire hall was extremely luxurious and spacious, filled with various wines and exotic fruits, and dotted with sofas for rest.

Already present in the hall were many people, some clad in battle suits, others in armor.

Though dressed differently, each had sharp, gleaming eyes and radiated an unmistakably powerful aura.

Ninth Stage Nen Users!

The very pinnacle of Blue Star's combat strength was gathered here!

"It's Xu Jingming!"

"The ones behind him must be from the Xinfu World?"

"They must be."

"......"

Xu Jingming's arrival immediately drew the attention of nearly all present Nen Users.

Their gazes held curiosity, awe, and a variety of other emotions.

A Ninth Stage Nen User at age twenty was truly an unimaginable existence to them.

"Little Xu, over here."

On the right side of the hall, Cao Jun, founder of the Black Dragon Legion, stood and called out.

Around him were Xue Jian and others.

"Young Master, go ahead—we'll go over there."

The Moon Shadow Divine Officer spoke.

They were on good terms with Xu Jingming but felt nothing toward Blue Star's Nen Users.

"Alright."

Xu Jingming nodded and walked toward the Blue Star side.

"Haha, congratulations, Director Xu, on breaking into the Ninth Stage!"

"A day without seeing you feels like three autumns—Director Xu, your progress is astonishing!"

"Who could say otherwise? When I attended Director Xu's appointment ceremony as Patrol Envoy, I never imagined he'd reach our level so quickly."

"......"

Around Cao Jun were all Blue Star's Ninth Stage Councilors.

As soon as Xu Jingming approached, each one immediately rose and greeted him warmly.

Some had attended his Magu Patrol Envoy appointment banquet; others had had no prior interaction with him.

As Xu Jingming nodded in response to each, he felt increasingly puzzled.

This doesn't make sense!

He had killed two Ninth Stage Councilors just recently.

To these Blue Star Councilors, that was a grave violation of protocol.

Why were they still so warm toward him?

Especially some of the Wu Shengs—even their expressions bordered on obsequious.

"Jingming, come, sit beside me."

Xue Jian warmly made room for Xu Jingming, but he had barely sat down when a sarcastic voice sounded from another sofa a few meters away:

"Oh? Isn't this Master Xu now a disciple of Emers? Why's he still hovering around our Great Xia? So shameless."

The voice was lowered, as if merely whispering to a companion.

But everyone present was a Ninth-Rank Martial Saint or Law Saint—how could they not hear?

Xu Jingming likewise raised his sword-like brows and recognized the speaker.

Wang Chaoyang, a S-Rank Ninth-Rank Mid-Level Mental Law Saint, usually closely associated with the Li family.

Xu Jingming naturally wouldn't coddle him; his gaze turned cold, and he spoke without expression:

"What? Your master hasn't arrived yet, and you're barking like a dog already?"

At these words, those around him immediately flinched.

The Li family father and son hadn't even arrived yet—this was directly calling Wang Chaoyang a dog of the Li family!

Damn, that's some serious aggression.

Wang Chaoyang hadn't expected Xu Jingming to dare insult him so openly.

He froze for a moment, then his face rapidly flushed dark purple.

Before he could retaliate, criticism immediately erupted around him.

"Too much!"

"Exactly! Too much!"

Wang Chaoyang instinctively nodded along.

But the speaker then added: "Brother Wang, you've been around a long time—why speak so carelessly?"

"I speak carelessly?"

Wang Chaoyang widened his eyes, wondering if he'd misheard—but then even more voices chimed in:

"Right! Master Xu merely took a master—it's nothing."

"Exactly. Even the Chairman hasn't objected—when did it become your place to speak?"

"Exactly."

"......"

One after another, their words struck like blades aimed at Wang Chaoyang.

He was stunned.

This isn't right!

I've known you all for years—Xu Jingming just became a councilor.

Even if you wouldn't support me, you shouldn't side with Xu Jingming!

At that moment, Cao Jun stepped forward to mediate, reminding Wang Chaoyang:

"Don't say things that harm unity. Jingming is our Great Xia's youngest Ninth-Rank councilor—don't make baseless assumptions."

Facing Cao Jun's reminder, though Wang Chaoyang seethed inwardly, he could only nod obediently.

Because of the Li family matter, he truly disliked Xu Jingming—but he wasn't foolish enough to openly defy Cao Jun, a Ninth-Rank Peak Elder.

"Old Wang's just always looking for trouble."

Xue Jian snorted, then rubbed his hands together and turned to Xu Jingming with anticipation:

"I've already told them about the Supreme Divine Blood. They've prepared ample resources—just wondering when your auction will begin."

At these words, every Ninth-Rank Martial Saint nearby immediately turned their gaze toward him.

So it was about the Supreme Divine Blood.

No wonder everyone was siding with him.

Only then did Xu Jingming realize—but under these circumstances, why had Wang Chaoyang dared to sneer at him?

As if sensing Xu Jingming's confusion, Xue Jian smiled and said: "Wang Chaoyang is a Mental Law Saint—I didn't tell him about this. Nor did I notify the Li family."

"I see."

Xu Jingming nodded, then paused before speaking:

"The auction begins the day after tomorrow at seven p. m., at the Lei Ting Martial Arts Hall headquarters. Besides the Supreme Divine Blood, we'll also auction rare resources."

He happened to have a large stockpile of resources—this was the perfect chance to sell them all.

Unfortunately, among Blue Star's six Supreme Beings, only three are Enhancement-type Adepts, and all three have reached SS-Rank.

Otherwise, selling the Supreme Divine Blood to the Supreme Beings would have earned a massive profit.
