Chapter 716: Join the Tai Chu Sacred Land! (Request Monthly Votes)
«BOOM!! »
«What was that? »
On the streets and inside buildings, people looked up at the blinding golden light piercing the sky, voicing their confusion.
«I don't know, I just heard a violent explosion. »
«The sound seemed to come from Candidate Yu Jing Candidate Yu Jing Yujing Haoting Community! »
«Candidate Yu Jing Candidate Yu Jing Yujing Haoting Community? »
«Isn't that where Jin Di lives? »
«What exactly happened? »
Countless people murmured in speculation.
…
At the same moment, in the capital, Chiqiong Martial Arts Hall Headquarters!
In the Planet Defense Platform Detection Center, a shrill alarm blared:
【ALERT, ALERT!】
【Cang Province, Tianhai City, Candidate Yu Jing Candidate Yu Jing Yujing Haoting Community—energy fluctuation exceeding Cosmic Level 2 detected!】
The on-duty staff turned pale upon hearing the alarm.
«No good!! »
«Candidate Yu Jing Candidate Yu Jing Yujing Haoting Community—that's Jin Di's residence! »
«Something terrible has happened!! »
The staff trembled, grabbed his phone, and immediately contacted Chi Di.
Because Chi Di had instructed that any matter concerning Jin Di must be reported to him directly, regardless of the time.
…
At that moment, inside a luxurious mansion at headquarters, Chi Di, clad in a white robe, sat on the sofa chatting with his family.
The spacious living room was unusually lively.
Chi Di was over seventy, with children and many grandchildren—he was the head of a large family.
Their casual chatter filled the room with noise.
Most of them radiated extraordinarily strong energy signatures, with several already at the Void-Flight realm.
Chi Di smiled at Qin Heng and said:
«Xiao Heng is only sixteen this year, yet he's already reached Level 5! »
«In four years, he can attempt to break through to Level 8, the Meridian Refinement realm! »
«Once he surpasses Void-Flight, with decades of refinement, he might even have a chance to join the Supreme Forces. »
Qin Heng, upon hearing this, showed a hint of pride.
Chi Di nodded and added:
«Xiao Heng still has potential—if he enters the Supreme Forces, there might be a chance. »
At that moment, his phone vibrated in his pocket. He pulled it out, glanced at it, and his expression changed instantly.
He turned to the group and said:
«I have something urgent—I won't be back for lunch! »
Without another word, he turned and walked away, his body levitating instantly as he shot toward the door.
A terrifying gust of wind swept across the faces of those present.
In the span of a breath, Chi Di vanished from sight, leaving behind a group of bewildered people.
«What happened? I've never seen him this frantic before. »
Chi Huang spoke up: «I'll go find out. »
…
«WHOOSH! WHOOSH!! »
In the sky, a figure wrapped in scorching Gang energy roared forward like a crimson fighter jet slicing through the air.
Chi Di's expression was grim as he continuously accelerated.
【Director, something has happened at Jin Di's community—an energy fluctuation exceeding Cosmic Level 2 has erupted!】
«I never thought it would happen. »
«The assassin arrived too fast! »
Chi Di's heart sank—if Lin Qi was harmed, the blow to Blue Star would be catastrophic.
Unfortunately, even at his fastest, he still needed fifteen minutes!
He was already a seasoned Cosmic Level 2 martial artist; with full speed, he could cover distances between several provinces in roughly ten minutes.
«BOOM! »
Not far behind him, a fighter jet was rapidly closing in.
…
Tianhai City, Candidate Yu Jing Candidate Yu Jing Yujing Haoting Community.
Lin Qi, clad in a black robe, had fully closed his third eye.
The golden divine light within had been completely expended.
He stared at the shards of weapons and blue fragments on the ground.
The assassin was dead, leaving only scattered, sliced fragments behind.
«Huh~»
Lin Qi deactivated the 【Double Layer: Jin Gang Transformation】.
Instantly, intense fatigue surged through him, while warm currents flooded his body, rapidly restoring his depleted energy.
He moved swiftly, enveloping the fragments with his spiritual force; the debris on the ground rose into the air.
He took a black metal box from his space ring and placed the fragments inside.
Then he looked around and saw many villa windows shattered, and all the projected screens across the area broken.
The entire square was empty—everyone had fled.
His gaze then settled on Xuantian, the Star-Swallowing Beast, whose body was swelling larger and larger—he had now revealed his true form.
A gaping wound split his abdomen, blood oozing out.
«Xuantian! »
Lin Qi's face filled with concern as he approached the Star-Swallowing Beast.
Its aura was weakening—the assassin's single strike had severely wounded it; fortunately, no second blow followed.
«ZZZZ!! »
Lin Qi pulled out a large quantity of Life Water from his pocket and poured it steadily into Xuantian's mouth.
He had prepared this beforehand for his journey to another world, to treat Xuantian if injured.
But Xuantian's combat power was too formidable—no surprise, being a mutated Star-Swallowing Beast—he had barely been hurt, and the Life Water had gone unused.
He emptied the entire supply into Xuantian's mouth.
«Ugh~»
«Ouch~»
In his mind, Xuantian sent a message.
Lin Qi patted Xuantian's head reassuringly:
«It's okay—you saved me this time. »
He could feel that under the Life Water's effect, Xuantian's body was healing, the bleeding slowing, the wound beginning to close.
The wound began to knit.
Vast amounts of source energy in the air were absorbed into his body.
«WHOOSH! WHOOSH!! »
At that moment, two figures flew in from afar, landing swiftly on the ground.
It was Jiang Tao and Jiang Jiang Miaoyin, returning from visiting Zhang Cheng.
«Lin Qi Ge, what happened? »
«I saw a golden light shooting into the sky from Zhang Zhang Laoshi's place—it came from our community. »
«So I rushed back with A Miao immediately! »
Jiang Tao stared at the colossal beast before him—over five hundred meters in size, nearly filling the entire square, having smashed through several villas!
Lin Qi explained: «I was assassinated. This is Xuantian—he blocked the blow for me and was gravely wounded. »
Jiang Tao's eyes widened in shock:
«What? You were assassinated? »
Jiang Jiang Miaoyin scanned the surroundings, releasing her spiritual perception, and asked curiously:
«I didn't sense any assassin's aura—did he escape? »
Lin Qi shook his head:
«He didn't escape—I killed him. »
Jiang Tao asked again: «Then where's the body? »
Lin Qi explained: «Only fragments remain. »
Jiang Tao sighed, "Lin Lin Qi Ge, you're too fierce—those assassins were reduced to shards by you."
Then he turned to Watching Xiaotian and asked, "Are you sure this is Watching Xiaotian?"
"Isn't this some demon race creature?"
Lin Qi explained, "Watching Xiaotian is a Star-Swallowing Beast. I acquired it from a space bracelet used to hunt interstellar wanted criminals."
"I've kept it by my side since it hatched."
Lin Qi's status had changed now; there was no longer any reason to hide Watching Xiaotian's identity.
He was now the champion of the Deep Space Talent Competition and a member of the Three Sacred Sects.
Having a Star-Swallowing Beast as a pet was perfectly normal.
After hearing this, Jiang Tao sighed, "Only Lin Lin Qi Ge could get a Star-Swallowing Beast."
After a while, Watching Xiaotian's injuries had healed significantly, and it began to perform a thousand transformations, shrinking its body back into the form of a golden-haired dog, the Demon King.
Jiang Tao and Jiang Jiang Miaoyin immediately believed it.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a thunderous explosion drew the attention of the three. Above them, a blazing figure streaked across the sky like a meteor.
It descended before them, releasing a terrifying aura.
Like a brilliant sun descending from the heavens, radiating light and heat.
The three stared closely—the arrival was Chi Di, the Grand Master of the Chi Qiong Martial Arts Hall and the strongest man on Blue Star.
"Grand Master!"
The three greeted him.
Dressed in crimson battle armor like a celestial god, Chi Di scanned the surroundings, his expression grave as he asked:
"Lin Qi, what happened here?"
Lin Qi looked around and said, "This isn't a place to talk. Let's go to my home."
Moments later, the four returned to Lin Qi's House No. 5. On the spacious table sat a mobile phone.
Chi Di frowned at the screen and said:
"This is a signal jammer—high-end model, not cheap."
"The electronic devices currently deployed on Blue Star can't withstand it!"
"For assassins, this device lets them hide their movements perfectly."
"They might even have disabled all surveillance!"
Lin Qi nodded. "That assassin only activated the jammer—every electronic device in our neighborhood was disrupted."
"All signals vanished. Some devices even exploded."
Chi Di asked again:
"Lin Qi, describe the assassin in detail."
Lin Qi nodded and recounted the entire sequence to the three.
"... Finally, I used my hidden killing technique and killed him outright!"
He then took a metal box from his space bracelet, opened it, and revealed the shattered fragments inside.
