Chapter 140: Xu Jin

"Xu Jin, the matter of you reporting to the National Dao Academy must be put on the agenda!"

This was the first sentence Dong Zhao, the Academy Head, said upon seeing Xu Jin. "Other direct disciples have already entered the Dao Academy for over ten days; the fastest ones in terms of cultivation progress have already broken through to the Refine Star Realm. You need to be quick on your end."

"The later you go, the more you will suffer."

"Someone has already reached the Refine Star Realm?"

"From the start of Star Forging, it has only been half a month at most. Direct disciples should all be Star Forging with dual star palaces, how could it be so fast?" Xu Jin looked astonished.

Although Xu Jin was trapped in the Fire Xuan Star Domain, his cultivation had been delayed by at most four or five days.

However, Xu Jin's cultivation efficiency in the Fire Xuan Star Domain was several times that of the current world.

Logically speaking, it was impossible for anyone to reach the Refine Star Realm earlier than Xu Jin.

"Direct disciples are indeed Star Forging with dual star palaces, but Star Forging is Star Forging, and cultivation is cultivation."

"Usually, after Star Forging, in order to rapidly increase combat power, all direct disciples will temporarily set aside the cultivation of the lower star palace and focus on the middle star palace. They rapidly raise the middle star palace cultivation to the ninth layer of the Refine Star Realm to quickly increase combat power, and then cultivate the lower star palace."

"You should already know that for every layer of Refine Star reached, one can engrave an additional star pattern, and every additional star pattern means a huge increase in strength," Academy Head Dong Zhao said.

With the Academy Head saying this, Xu Jin understood.

Xu Jin was trapped in the Fire Xuan Star Domain; although his cultivation was not delayed, he was cultivating both major star palaces simultaneously, and now both major star palaces were at the peak of Star Forging.

It was normal for other direct disciples, who focused on the middle star palace, to have someone break through to the Refine Star Realm.

"Moreover, after Star Forging, as cultivation gets higher and higher, there are more and more means to improve cultivation progress. You must hurry."

"Direct disciples also have assessments," Academy Head Dong Zhao said.

Xu Jin understood this sentence.

Pay-to-win!

For cultivators in the Meal of Mist Realm, pay-to-win methods were extremely limited.

No matter how rich you were, even if you topped up a thousand 648s, it was useless.

But after Star Forging, there were many pay-to-win methods, and the spring of the rich had arrived.

Xu Jin suddenly wondered, did he count as rich now?

Not counting the ten thousand plus taels of gold and silver, forty?

"Then Academy Head, you make the arrangements! Also, how do I reach the National Dao Academy? Do I go from the Star Picking Tower?" Xu Jin asked curiously.

Previously, Xu Jin had seen Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao come directly from within the Star Picking Tower and leave directly from the Jin Shan Prefecture Star Picking Tower branch, which was extremely convenient, so he was a bit curious.

"Star Picking Tower?"

Dong Zhao looked at Xu Jin and laughed. "You are overthinking it."

"Most people, unless absolutely necessary, will not transmit through the Star Picking Tower. Firstly, to use the Star Picking Tower's transmission function, the Star Picking Token needs to be upgraded to at least the third tier."

"Secondly, the Star Picking Tower's transmission is very expensive!"

"Even for an Academy Head like me, I wouldn't use it easily. I'm afraid only someone like the Grand Master can use it so casually," Dong Zhao sighed.

"How expensive is it?" Xu Jin asked tentatively.

"Based on a third-tier Star Picking Token, a single person transmission through the Star Picking Tower costs five thousand Dao Merits, or five hundred wisps of starlight. Anyway, I can't afford it," Dong Zhao said.

Xu Jin was speechless after hearing this.

This one-time transmission was directly fifty thousand taels of silver, even more expensive than chartering a plane in his previous life.

Of course, the experience was much better; it was an instant arrival.

"Xu Jin, my transfer order also arrived today. With my rank, I can directly requisition a star boat. At that time, we can set off together, which will be faster and more comfortable."

"If you can, we will set off early tomorrow morning, at the latest the day after tomorrow," Academy Head Dong Zhao said.

"I know what you want to ask." Before Xu Jin could continue asking, Academy Head Dong Zhao said again, "Thanks to your help, my performance review this time had a total of three 'A-plus' grades, plus two previous great contributions and one special contribution, so I can be promoted three levels in a row."

"I will be transferred to be the Vice Supervisor of the Chen Guo National Dao Academy."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Jin gasped. Jumping three levels in a row, the Academy Head had really achieved it.

"Also, Jiang Er also got what she wished for thanks to your help, but whether she can truly get what she wishes for depends on her luck," Academy Head Dong Zhao said.

"Academy Head, what wish does Teacher Ning want to fulfill?" Xu Jin asked suddenly.

"This..."

Dong Zhao hesitated for a moment and did not say. "It is not convenient for me to say this. If you want to know, you can ask Jiang Er herself. If she wants you to know, she will naturally tell you."

"Okay."

"Academy Head, if we take the flying boat, how long will it take to reach the Dachen Wan Yi National Dao Academy? I looked at the map, and Dachen Wan Yi is six thousand li away from our Jin Shan Prefecture," Xu Jin asked.

"If it goes smoothly, two or three hours," Dong Zhao said.

"Thank you, Academy Head. Then I will go back and prepare, arrange my family affairs as soon as possible, and strive to set off tomorrow," Xu Jin said.

"Good."

Just when Academy Head Dong Zhao thought Xu Jin had left, Xu Jin suddenly returned and poked his head in to ask, "Academy Head, I want to know, how did Wang Weisheng, Lu Xianbing, and the others get there? How long did it take?"

"Them? They were personally escorted by Supervisor Cao of the Dao Academy and several instructors. They rode third-tier star horses, and it took fourteen hours one way without sleep or rest."

Upon receiving this answer, Xu Jin's mood instantly became very good.

Riding a horse for twenty-eight hours, Xu Jin had to give them a big thumbs up.

Their butts must be swollen, right?

Leaving Dong Zhao's place, Xu Jin went directly to find Jiang Er. The first thing Xu Jin did upon seeing Jiang Er was to ask directly about the wish-fulfillment matter.

Many TV dramas in his previous life told Xu Jin that communication was very important.

One thing, you don't ask, I don't say, and it ends up becoming a big problem, big trouble, and even a big misunderstanding.

"This... you will know later."

"Teacher, then I want to know now. I want to see if I can help you?" Xu Jin asked.

"You definitely can't help me now! You work hard on your cultivation. With your talent and actual combat ability, you will be able to help me when you reach the mid-to-late stage of Condense Star."

"I am just going to try my luck now," Jiang Er said.

"Where?"

"Star River Battlefield." This time, Jiang Er gave an answer.

"What luck are you trying to touch?"

"You will know later." When saying this, Jiang Er's gaze swept inadvertently over her lame leg, and Xu Jin understood instantly.

He couldn't ask anymore; asking more would be hurtful.

The rest was for Xu Jin to work hard on his cultivation and strive to help Jiang Er as soon as possible.

"Then when are you going?" Xu Jin asked.

"It depends on you. My performance review this time had three 'A-plus' grades. Besides being promoted in rank and getting what I wished for, I was also additionally rewarded with an opportunity for deep cultivation in the Star Picking Tower, and I can also learn a fourth-tier star pattern and a fifth-tier star pattern."

"Let's see if there is a possibility of breaking through to the Gather Battle Realm!"

"If I can break through, my strength to protect myself on the Star River Battlefield will be a little stronger," Jiang Er said.

"Then I will be as fast as possible, tomorrow." Xu Jin instantly made up his mind.

He didn't know when Jiang Er was going to the Star River Battlefield, but he absolutely could not delay Jiang Er's cultivation time.

Every extra minute of Jiang Er's cultivation time meant her strength to protect herself in the future would be one point stronger.

Just as Xu Jin was about to leave, Jiang Er suddenly called Xu Jin to stop. Xu Jin originally thought she was going to ask about the Spirit Refining Golden Pill, but unexpectedly, Jiang Er actually asked about Xu Jin's thoughts on his younger sister Jiang Er's star-pointing.

"Xu Jin, if you want your sister to take the path of cultivation, then if there are conditions, you must go to the National Dao Academy for star-pointing. The cultivation resources for star-pointing at the National Dao Academy are completely different, and the foundation is also different."

"Like Wang Weisheng, if he had star-pointed at the National Dao Academy, he wouldn't have needed to waste this half a year, and he could have become a core disciple, and even have the opportunity to become a direct disciple."

"The path of cultivation, if you have stepped on it, it is better to be stronger," Jiang Er said.

"You mean you want me to take Jiang Er to the National Dao Academy, and then let Jiang Er star-point at the National Dao Academy?" Xu Jin asked.

"It depends on you. The cost of star-pointing at the National Dao Academy is only a little higher than at the Prefecture Dao Academy, but the starting point is not just a little bit higher. Moreover, if Jiang Er can go to the National Dao Academy, I can continue to help her warm and nourish her middle star palace for a few more days," Jiang Er said.

"Okay, I will go back and ask my old man, and then see after making arrangements." After Xu Jin finished speaking, he was about to leave, but was called to stop by Jiang Er just as he was about to leave.

"Hey, Xu Jin..." Jiang Er stopped mid-sentence, seeming a little embarrassed.

Xu Jin was happy when he saw this.

This was the first time he had seen Jiang Er shy; Jiang Er had never been like this before.

"Teacher, are you asking about the Spirit Refining Golden Pill?"

"Yes."

Jiang Er nodded and explained, "Have you picked it out yet? The Spirit Refining Golden Pill is relatively important for my breakthrough."

"Not yet!"

Jiang Er's beautiful eyebrows furrowed. She was a little annoyed that Xu Jin was still joking about this major matter, but she still suppressed her temper and asked, "Then how long will it take?"

"Twelve more days."

"Twelve days, so long?" Jiang Er frowned.

Suddenly, Xu Jin said solemnly, "Teacher Ning, do you trust me?"

"I trust you!" Jiang Er nodded without hesitation.

"Then wait another twelve days, and I will give you a big surprise! Of course, you cannot tell anyone about this!" Xu Jin said.

"Twelve days, a surprise?"

Jiang Er looked at Xu Jin, her apricot eyes full of doubt, but she still believed him.

"Alright then, I still have thirty-three days before I report to the Star River Battlefield, I can afford to wait," Jiang Er said.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Jin returned home.

This was a major matter, and Xu Jin thought about it all the way.

From the perspective of his sister's cultivation future, taking Jiang Er to the National Dao Academy was correct, but what about his old man?

He couldn't leave his old man alone here.

As for buying property or a place to live in Dachen Wan Yi, Xu Jin believed that if he couldn't afford to buy, he could always afford to rent.

It shouldn't be that he couldn't afford it.

Returning home, Xu Jin invited his old man, called his sister Jiang Er to the side, and then told both of them about this matter.

"Dad, Jiang Er, my idea is that we go to Dachen Wan Yi together! At that time, Dad, you will have us by your side to take care of you, and we can also be at ease!"

"Take care of me? I have hands and feet, do I need you to take care of me!"

Old man Xu Dajiang slapped Xu Jin on the back of the head. "It's you, with hands and feet, needing someone to serve you three meals a day."

Xu Jin sat straight, then slumped down after a while.

It seemed his old man was right.

"Like this, Jin'er, you take Jiang Er to Dachen Wan Yi. Since you want Jiang Er to cultivate, then it should be better. A girl, having some skills, won't be bullied by others in the future!"

"As for me, I won't go."

"I want to stay in Jin Shan Prefecture. These two big mansions, over a hundred mu of fields, and three storefronts, if I leave, who will manage them?"

"I must stay."

"Besides, I heard that Dachen Wan Yi is as hot as a furnace. I, an old man, am used to the water and soil here in Jin Shan Prefecture, so I won't toss about," old man Xu Dajiang said.

"No, Dad, you stay here, who will take care of you!"

"If something really happens, six thousand li away, we won't be able to rush over in the first instance!"

"Usually nothing will happen! Besides, it's six thousand li away. The ancestral tablets, the graves, who will manage them? Your mother's grave is here. Anyway, I am not leaving, it's settled."

"Dad, the tablets can be taken away, you have to listen to me!"

Slap!

"Are you my dad or am I your dad!" Xu Dajiang slapped him again, and Xu Jin didn't dare to dodge.

"It's settled. I'm not going to Dachen Wan Yi. You all go to cultivate, and I won't even have anyone to talk to! If I am in Dachen Wan Yi, I am just Old Xu!"

"Do you know what I am now in Jin Shan Prefecture?" Xu Dajiang said suddenly.

"What are you?" Xu Jin was a bit confused.

"Thanks to you, kid, now when I walk in the prefecture city, everyone has to ask 'How are you, Master Xu!' If I go back to Xu Family Village, the village head has to kill chickens and sheep for me every time."

"Going back to Xu Family Village once, the small wine is already scheduled for three days later."

"Several widows have come to my door to send chickens and ducks, wanting to mend my clothes and throw flirtatious glances at me."

Looking at Xu Jin and Jiang Er's straight-eyed expressions, Xu Dajiang added, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid, I won't find you a stepmother! Even if I really find one, at most I'll take a concubine!"

"The village head has persuaded me several times!"

Xu Jin was stunned. This... this is his old man's inner voice, right!

"I haven't lived this fairy life enough yet!"

"So, I won't go to Dachen Wan Yi."

"If you kid have a heart, in two or three years, bring a daughter-in-law, preferably hold a big grandson to see me, then maybe I will go to Dachen Wan Yi with you."

Xu Jin was stunned, seeing the urging for marriage and grandsons again!

How come he can't escape this no matter where he goes?

Damn it, is old man Xu Dajiang's life really that comfortable?

This is really a fairy life!

Compared to his old man's fairy life, Xu Jin's life is really a bit bitter.

In the end, this family meeting proved one thing: Xu Dajiang is the dad, and Xu Jin is the son!

So, the final decision is old man Xu Dajiang's decision!

Since it was decided to go to Dachen Wan Yi, many things had to be arranged.

Although his old man wouldn't lack food or clothing here, what should be arranged still had to be arranged. First, Xu Jin brought a gift and went straight to the Prefecture Commandant's Mansion, asking to see Prefecture Commandant Lu Chang.

Jin Shan Prefecture's Prefecture Commandant Lu Chang directly opened the middle gate to welcome Xu Jin in, with extreme courtesy.

Xu Jin didn't use pleasantries and directly stated his purpose. Human relationships are only human relationships if there is coming and going.

Only giving and not receiving sometimes turns into hatred!

He helped Lu Xianbing, so he had to give the Lu family a chance to repay, and then helping Lu Xianbing again would be a positive cycle.

Only helping and not wanting a reward, one day when this favor becomes too heavy to bear, it turns into hatred.

"This matter is easy to handle."

"But to handle it well, if you want it to last longer, you have to give the old man an official position, a leisurely official position, and basically no one will dare to provoke him."

Lu Chang paced back and forth a few times and said suddenly, "In my Chen Guo Prefecture Commandant's Mansion, there is a job called the Martial Merit Proclamation Envoy. The rank is not high, ninth rank, but it is a genuine martial official. There is no need to report for duty daily, just go to the military camp two or three times a year."

"Besides the salary, according to the rank, two personal guards can be arranged for protection."

"It just so happens that I can directly appoint this rank."

Xu Jin was a bit confused.

His original intention was to ask Prefecture Commandant Lu Chang to take care of him, and if there was any trouble, he could handle it. He didn't expect him to directly arrange an official position.

"This doesn't seem very appropriate, right?"

"What's inappropriate? We are family, don't talk like two families."

"By the way, when is Xu Xianzhi going to the National Dao Academy?" Lu Chang asked.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be tomorrow."

"Good, then I will handle this matter tonight! As for the personal guards, I will personally select good family children with clean backgrounds and excellent character. Xu Xianzhi, just put your heart in your stomach," Lu Chang said.

What else could Xu Jin say? He could only thank him.

Only, besides thanking him, Xu Jin had a premonition that his old man was already Master Xu, and widows were throwing flirtatious glances at him. If he had an official position and personal guards, he shouldn't harm big girls and little wives.

Leaving the Prefecture Commandant's Mansion, Xu Jin didn't stop and brought a gift to visit Supervisor Cao Chun and Commandant Tian Zhang separately, asking the two to take care of things in the future.

According to the Academy Head, if nothing unexpected happens, the next Academy Head should be Supervisor Cao Chun.

After visiting the big shots, Xu Jin went to the Dao Academy to see a group of little brothers.

Qian Xiaohu, Fang Shixing, Qiao Ruonan, and others.

These three will most likely serve in the Star Patrol Guard in Jin Shan Prefecture in the future, counting as local snakes. Asking them to take care of things daily is more useful.

The three naturally agreed fully. Qian Xiaohu even said directly that in the days when Xu Jin was away, he would take two brothers from the Star Patrol Guard to Xu's mansion every two days.

It is like this now, and it will be even more so in the future.

This is really thoughtful!

"Brothers, I won't say much more. In the future, I will leave my dad to you to take care of! I have four bottles of Star Supplement Pills here, two bottles of Spirit Awakening Pills, and one first-tier star weapon that I won't use for the time being. You keep them and use them to hurry up and improve your strength."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qian Xiaohu's expression changed instantly. "Brother Jin, I have never coveted these! If it weren't for your help back then, I would be doing hard labor at the pier now, how could I be surrounded by people like I am now!"

"This kindness, I can't repay it in a lifetime."

"Brother Jin, you giving me these is too distant, you don't treat me as a brother!"

"Hahahaha!"

Xu Jin patted Qian Xiaohu on the shoulder and laughed. "We are brothers, why are you being so formal with me! Besides, giving you these is just to let you improve your cultivation quickly, and be promoted to a Star Patrol Guard team leader sooner, so your ability can be stronger!"

"If my dad really has something, you can also help."

After much persuasion, Qian Xiaohu reluctantly accepted.

Xu Jin had also thought carefully about Qian Xiaohu.

The power giants in Jin Shan Prefecture have all promised to take care of things now, but power giants are the easiest to be swayed by power. Only brothers like Qian Xiaohu will not be swayed by power at critical moments.

Investing a little is also appropriate.

The pills are all things Xu Jin doesn't use, and Xu Jin has several first-tier star weapons in his hands.

If Qian Xiaohu is ambitious enough, it's not impossible for Xu Jin to support him to become a flag leader of the Star Patrol Guard or a high-ranking military officer of the Prefecture Guard in the future.

After doing all this, it was already late at night. Xu Jin returned home and saw two more capable Prefecture Guards, who were now old man Xu Dajiang's personal guards.

Old man Xu Dajiang had already changed into a ninth-rank martial official uniform, his face glowing with excitement.

It is estimated that he won't take it off tonight.

Little Jiang Er was packing things. Xu Jin sent a starlight transmission to Academy Head Dong Zhao saying they would set off tomorrow morning, and then entered the Star Picking Tower directly, preparing to enter the second-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm.

In an instant, several starlight transmissions flew towards him.

Da Chu, Hengsha Juncheng.

At night, Hengsha Juncheng was still brightly lit. Hu Xuechuan, who hadn't slept for over ten days, hung high in the sky, driving the Star Fixing Plate, screening every commoner driven out of the city.

The commoners below, some cursed, some cried, but most accepted it calmly.

Although the government was driving people away, leaving the city for two to three days, each person was given three catties of rice, which counted as eating for free, so it wasn't unacceptable.

This situation had been going on for two and a half days.

In the entire Hengsha Juncheng, over two hundred thousand commoners had been driven out of the prefecture city.

And the prefecture city was still under blockade. At the latest by tomorrow noon, he would be able to search out Qi Shanye, who was hiding in Hengsha Juncheng.

Fulfill a long-cherished wish!

This time, in order to capture Qi Shanye alive, the price Hu Xuechuan paid was not small.

Losing his official position, years of favors and savings were all gone, and even the favors of his elders were used up.

But thinking of being able to capture Qi Shanye alive, his heart became hot.

As long as he could capture Qi Shanye alive, with the things he mastered, he had absolute certainty to make Qi Shanye speak willingly.

He would be able to obtain the most secret inheritance regarding the Spirit Soul from the Lingji Shang Xinggong.

Given time, let alone a branch hall master, even a Star Master, he would be qualified to sit on it, and there was even a possibility of going further!

At that time, everything paid would be worth it!

Thinking of this, the originally extremely tired Hu Xuechuan was like being injected with a stimulant, instantly energetic, continuing to drive the Star Fixing Plate with his divine sense, while locking onto Qi Shanye's aura, while screening from the Da Chu commoners leaving the city.

In a civilian house in the northern part of Hengsha Juncheng, Qi Shanye's face was a bit pale.

That was the aftereffect of cultivating the secret technique Xu Jin sent.

That's right, Qi Shanye felt that Xu Jin's secret technique couldn't be called splitting the soul at all, it was at most a crude secret technique for cutting the Spirit Soul.

It only took him half a day to cultivate it.

Now, in a jade tablet floating in front of Qi Shanye's chest, there was a small phantom tossing and turning, and that phantom looked exactly like Qi Shanye.

Qi Shanye's right hand was a second-tier star pigeon.

This was Qi Shanye's harvest from sneaking into the Hengsha Prefecture Commandant's Mansion this afternoon.

The invisibility technique was used to steal a star pigeon, but it was overkill.

Originally, catching a fierce bird with extremely fast speed would have the best effect.

But he couldn't leave the city, couldn't enter the mountains, and had nowhere to find a fierce bird.

However, this second-tier star pigeon was not bad.

A first-tier star pigeon could fly one thousand li in an hour, and a second-tier star pigeon could fly one thousand five hundred li in an hour.

Theoretically, it could fly more than ten li in an instant. (The "instant" in this book is set to one minute)

At a distance of ten li, Qi Shanye would act at the same time, at least a distance of twenty li.

Qi Shanye would be able to rush out of Hengsha Juncheng from far away.

The rest was the chase.

As long as he didn't fall into a heavy encirclement, Qi Shanye's ability to escape was still very strong.

If Hu Xuechuan discovered it a little later, it would be even more perfect.

Subsequently, Qi Shanye carefully tied the jade tablet injected with the wisp of split soul he had cut off to the second-tier star pigeon, tying it very tightly, but without affecting the star pigeon's flight.

One minute later, Qi Shanye took a deep breath and sneaked invisibly to the edge of the north city, the place furthest from Hu Xuechuan. Hu Xuechuan was currently between the south city and the east city.

The next instant, the second-tier star pigeon instantly flapped its wings and flew up, taking away the jade tablet with Qi Shanye's split soul.

The moment the jade tablet with Qi Shanye's split soul left the one-meter range around Qi Shanye, the Return-to-Origin Star Pattern invisibility effect of Qi Shanye was instantly gone, and the aura was exposed immediately.

Almost at the same time, Qi Shanye in the invisible state quickly leaped towards the outside of the city wall, and then ran in the opposite direction of the star pigeon.

Almost at the same time, Hu Xuechuan above Hengsha Juncheng had his eyes instantly widened.

He saw the Star Fixing Plate flash, and the aura position it had locked onto while Qi Shanye was in the invisible state, which was originally relatively blurry and obscure, suddenly became clear, turning into a red light.

This red light was quickly escaping towards the outside of the north city!

Seeing this, Hu Xuechuan couldn't help but sneer.

This Old Demon Qi finally couldn't hide anymore, wanting to escape under the cover of night?

But the problem was, with the locking of the Star Fixing Plate, was there any difference between day and night?

"The Shadow Demon's tracks have appeared, all follow me!"

Hu Xuechuan gave a loud shout and instantly chased in the direction the second-tier star pigeon was flying. Lin Lie and another subordinate, as well as several fifth-tier Battle-Gathering Prefecture experts from the Cangming Star Palace Hengsha Branch, also followed Hu Xuechuan's direction at the same time.

The group chased over, their speed extremely fast.

Just in an instant, they approached the escaping Qi Shanye.

But in front, there was no sign of Qi Shanye at all.

On this point, Hu Xuechuan was not surprised at all.

Qi Shanye's invisibility ability had no equal in the world, otherwise, he wouldn't have the name Shadow Demon.

Moreover, the Star Fixing Plate's positioning of Qi Shanye was only a blurry positioning.

Otherwise, he would have been captured long ago.

But the closer, the higher the accuracy.

"Spread out, Old Thief Qi should be within a few li in front!

Everyone, search carefully with your senses, and you will be able to find his star power fluctuations. Under high-speed movement, even if he is the Shadow Demon, he cannot restrain his star power fluctuations!" Hu Xuechuan shouted excitedly.

It was just that a group of fifth-tier Gather Battle Realm experts were a bit puzzled. Dozens of breaths had passed, and after they spread out, the aura star power fluctuations within a radius of ten li were all under control, where did the Shadow Demon Qi Shanye come from?

Except for a few flying birds, within a radius of ten li, in the sky and on the ground, not even a ghost shadow could be seen!

Hu Xuechuan also realized something was wrong.

On the Star Fixing Plate, Qi Shanye was right near them, still moving at high speed, but they couldn't even see a ghost shadow of Qi Shanye!

Could it be that the Star Fixing Plate had a problem?

Impossible!

This is absolutely impossible!

It is impossible for the Star Fixing Plate to have a problem!

Then...

Hu Xuechuan looked around, his star power and Spirit Soul power driven to the extreme, and began to patrol and accelerate in the surrounding area, searching in a circular manner.

Theoretically, Qi Shanye was right here.

Suddenly, Hu Xuechuan saw the star pigeon flying at high speed after being startled a hundred meters above their heads. This star pigeon actually had a jade tablet tied to its leg?

Generally speaking, they were all tied with message tubes, why would they tie a bulky jade tablet?

But Hu Xuechuan still ignored this star pigeon!

Hu Xuechuan accelerated again, surpassing this star pigeon by several li.

Suddenly, Hu Xuechuan's face changed. He discovered that the Star Fixing Plate showed that the position of the Shadow Demon Qi Shanye had already run behind him.

How is this possible?

The Shadow Demon's speed is not slower than his!

He turned his head instantly and returned to the position of Qi Shanye indicated by the Star Fixing Plate.

Still no one!

But that star pigeon with the jade tablet appeared extremely strangely in Hu Xuechuan's line of sight again.

There is a problem!

Reaching out to probe, Hu Xuechuan captured the high-speed flying star pigeon into his hand.

The next instant, Hu Xuechuan's face changed drastically.

Because the moment he got it, he sensed a familiar aura from the jade tablet.

The aura of the Shadow Demon Qi Shanye, whom he had pursued for over three years, and whom he dreamed of capturing.

Star power surged over instantly.

The moment it surged over, the starlight on the surface of the jade tablet just obtained flashed, and it instantly shattered.

Without the jade tablet as a carrier, the wisp of split soul that Qi Shanye had cut off inside the jade tablet dissipated in the blink of an eye.

In the distance, Qi Shanye, who had been running wildly for more than half a quarter of an hour, suddenly trembled, and spat out a mouthful of blood. This was the backlash of the collapse of the Spirit Soul origin within the split soul!

But the next instant, Qi Shanye, who had finished wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, suddenly laughed loudly, laughing extremely wildly!

More than half a quarter of an hour!

He didn't expect that a small split soul that didn't even have half a percent of his Spirit Soul power would actually hold Hu Xuechuan for a full half a quarter of an hour!

The trapped dragon ascends to heaven!

He had once again gotten rid of the lingering Hu Xuechuan!

And at the same instant, after the jade tablet shattered, the Star Fixing Plate of Hu Xuechuan suddenly flashed continuously. After a few breaths, another red dot representing Qi Shanye's position appeared on the Star Fixing Plate.

Hu Xuechuan only took a glance, and his face changed drastically.

According to the instructions of the Star Fixing Plate, at this time, Qi Shanye was already hundreds of li away!

The Shadow Demon was already hundreds of li away, how could he still be surrounded and captured alive?

"How is this possible?"

"How is this possible?"

"Hu Hu Dianzhu, why is the Star Fixing Plate... could it be that we..."

Pfft!

The next instant, Hu Xuechuan, who had not slept or rested for over ten days, spat out a mouthful of blood and fell backward toward the sky!
