Chapter 140: Xu Jin
Xu Jin, you must schedule your reporting to the National Dao Academy immediately!
This was the first thing Headmaster Dong Zhao said to Xu Jin: “Other True Disciples have already been at the Dao Academy for over ten days; the fastest among them have broken through to Star Refining. You need to hurry.”
The later you go, the more you’ll lose.”
“Someone already reached Star Refining?”
“It’s only been half a month since Star Casting began. All True Disciples should still be casting stars in the Twin Star Palace—how could they advance so fast?” Xu Jin looked astonished.
Although Xu Jin had been trapped in the Fire Radiance Star Region, his cultivation had been delayed by no more than four or five days.
Yet his cultivation efficiency in the Fire Radiance Star Region was several times higher than in the mortal world.
Logically, no one should have reached Star Refining before him.
“True Disciples do cast stars in the Twin Star Palace, but casting stars is one thing, cultivation is another.
After casting stars, to rapidly boost combat power, all True Disciples temporarily set aside cultivation of the lower star palace and focus entirely on the middle star palace. They quickly raise their middle star palace to Star Refining ninth layer to rapidly enhance combat strength, then return to cultivating the lower star palace.
You already know: each Star Refining layer allows you to inscribe one additional star rune, and each additional rune means a massive power increase,” said Headmaster Dong Zhao.
Hearing this, Xu Jin understood.
Xu Jin had been trapped in the Fire Radiance Star Region; though his cultivation hadn’t been delayed, he’d cultivated both star palaces simultaneously, and now both were at peak Star Casting.
Other True Disciples focused solely on the middle star palace—so it was normal for some to break through to Star Refining.
“Moreover, after Star Casting, as your cultivation base grows, more methods to accelerate progress become available—you must seize the opportunity.
True Disciples are also subject to evaluations,” said Headmaster Dong Zhao.
Xu Jin understood this remark.
Pay-to-win!
Cultivators at the Mist-Feasting realm have extremely limited pay-to-win options.
No matter how rich you are, even if you spend a thousand 648 yuan, it won’t help.
But after Star Casting, pay-to-win methods multiply—the era of wealth begins.
Xu Jin suddenly wondered: was he rich now?
Ignoring the ten thousand taels of gold and silver, what about forty?
“Then you arrange it, Headmaster. Also, how do we get to the National Dao Academy? Do we go through the Star Picking Tower?” Xu Jin asked curiously.
Previously, Xu Jin had seen Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao arrive directly from the Star Picking Tower and depart instantly from the Jinshan County branch—extremely convenient—and he’d been curious.
“The Star Picking Tower?”
Dong Zhao chuckled at Xu Jin. “You’re overthinking it.”
“Most people, unless absolutely desperate, won’t use the Star Picking Tower’s teleportation. First, to use it, your Star Picking Token must be upgraded to at least third rank.
Second, teleportation via the Star Picking Tower is extremely expensive!
Even I, as Headmaster, rarely use it. Only someone like the Grand Master could use it casually,” Dong Zhao sighed.
“How expensive?” Xu Jin ventured.
“With a third-rank Star Picking Token, one person’s teleport costs five thousand Dao Merits, or five hundred strands of starlight. I simply can’t afford it,” Dong Zhao said.
Xu Jin fell silent after hearing this.
One teleport cost fifty thousand taels of silver—more expensive than a private jet in his past life.
Of course, the experience was far better: instant arrival.
“Xu Jin, my transfer order just arrived today. With my rank, I can directly requisition a starship. We can depart together—it’ll be faster and more comfortable.
If you’re ready, we leave tomorrow morning at the latest the day after.”
“I know what you’re going to ask,” Dong Zhao said before Xu Jin could speak. “Thanks to your help, my evaluation earned three Class-A Excellences. Combined with two prior major merits and one special merit, I’ve been promoted three ranks.
I’ll be appointed Deputy Supervisor of the Great Chen National Dao Academy.”
At this, Xu Jin sucked in a sharp breath—three promotions at once. Headmaster had truly achieved it.
“Also, thanks to you, Yuchan got what she wanted—but to truly achieve it, her luck will decide,” said Headmaster Dong Zhao.
“Headmaster, what did Teacher Ning want to achieve?” Xu Jin asked suddenly.
“This…”
Dong Zhao hesitated, then didn’t answer. “I can’t say. If you want to know, ask Yuchan herself. If she wants you to know, she’ll tell you.”
“Understood.”
“Headmaster, if we take the starship, how long will it take to reach Wan Yi National Dao Academy? The map shows Wan Yi is six thousand li from Jinshan County.”
“Two or three hours, if all goes well,” Dong Zhao said.
“Thank you, Headmaster. I’ll return to prepare and settle my household affairs quickly—I’ll aim to leave tomorrow.”
“Good.”
Just as Headmaster Dong Zhao thought Xu Jin had left, Xu Jin suddenly reappeared, poking his head in. “Headmaster, I’d like to know—how did Wang Weisheng and Lu Xianbing get there? How long did it take?”
“They were escorted by Supervisor Cao of the Dao Academy with several instructors, riding third-rank starhorses. Nonstop, one-way, fourteen hours.”
Hearing this, Xu Jin’s mood instantly improved.
Riding horses for twenty-eight hours? He’d give them a huge thumbs-up.
Their buttocks must’ve been swollen.
After leaving Dong Zhao, Xu Jin went straight to Ning Yuchan. The moment he saw her, he bluntly asked about her wish.
Many TV dramas in his past life had taught Xu Jin that communication was vital.
If you don’t ask and I don’t say, it turns into a big problem, a big trouble, even a big misunderstanding.
“This… you’ll find out later.”
“Teacher, I want to know now. Can I help you?” Xu Jin asked.
“You can’t help me now! Focus on your cultivation. With your talent and combat ability, once you reach mid-to-late Star Gathering, you’ll be able to help me.
Right now, I’m just trying my luck,” Ning Yuchan said.
“Where?”
“The Star River Battlefield.” This time, Ning Yuchan gave an answer.
“What kind of luck?”
“You’ll find out later.” As she spoke, Ning Yuchan’s gaze unconsciously swept over her crippled leg. Xu Jin instantly understood.
He couldn’t ask further—any more questions would hurt her.
All that remained was for Xu Jin to cultivate hard and strive to help Ning Yuchan as soon as possible.
“When will you go?” Xu Jin asked.
“It depends on you. My evaluation earned three Class-A Excellences. Besides my promotion and wish fulfillment, I was granted one extra opportunity for Star Picking Tower meditation and the chance to learn one fourth-rank star rune and one fifth-rank star rune.
I’m hoping to break through to Star Gathering!
If I can, my self-preservation power on the Star River Battlefield will improve.” Ning Yuchan said.
“Then I’ll leave as soon as possible—tomorrow,” Xu Jin decided instantly.
He didn’t know when Ning Yuchan would depart for the Star River Battlefield, but he absolutely couldn’t delay her cultivation time.
Every extra moment Ning Yuchan spent cultivating strengthened her future self-preservation.
Just as Xu Jin was about to leave, Ning Yuchan suddenly called him back. Xu Jin assumed she wanted to ask about the Soul-Refining Golden Core—but instead, she asked about his sister Jiang Er’s Star Casting.
“Xu Jin, if you want your sister to pursue cultivation, and if conditions allow, she must go to the National Dao Academy for Star Casting. The cultivation resources and foundational training there are entirely different.
Take Wang Weisheng—if he’d been Star Cast at the National Dao Academy, he wouldn’t have wasted half a year to become a core disciple, let alone have a chance to become a True Disciple.
Once you step onto the path of cultivation, it’s better to be stronger.”
“So you mean I should take Jiang Er to the National Dao Academy and have her Star Cast there?” Xu Jin asked.
“It’s up to you. Star Casting at the National Dao Academy costs only slightly more than at the county Dao Academy, but the starting point is vastly higher. And if Jiang Er goes, I can continue helping her warm her middle star palace for a few more days,” Ning Yuchan said.
“Alright, I’ll go ask my father and arrange things before deciding,” Xu Jin said, turning to leave—but Ning Yuchan called him back again.
“Ah, Xu Jin…” Ning Yuchan hesitated, seeming slightly embarrassed.
Xu Jin smiled.
This was the first time he’d ever seen Ning Yuchan blush—she’d never been like this before.
“Teacher, you’re asking about the Soul-Refining Golden Core, right?”
“Yes.”
Ning Yuchan nodded and explained, “Have you chosen one yet? The Soul-Refining Golden Core is crucial for my breakthrough.”
“Not yet!”
Ning Yuchan frowned. She was slightly annoyed that Xu Jin was joking about such an important matter, but she held her temper and asked, “How long will it take?”
“Twelve more days.”
“Twelve days? That long?” Ning Yuchan frowned.
Suddenly, Xu Jin became serious. “Teacher Ning, do you trust me?”
“I do,” Ning Yuchan nodded without hesitation.
“Then wait twelve days. I’ll give you a huge surprise. But you must not tell anyone about this!” Xu Jin said.
“Twelve days… a surprise?”
Ning Yuchan looked at Xu Jin, her eyes filled with doubt—but she believed him.
“Alright then. I still have thirty-three days before reporting to the Star River Battlefield. I can wait.”
Fifteen minutes later, Xu Jin returned home.
This was a major matter—he’d been thinking 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 father?
I can’t leave Dad alone here.
As for property or housing in Wan Yi, Xu Jin believed that if he couldn’t afford to buy, renting should at least be possible.
It shouldn’t be unaffordable.
Back home, Xu Jin summoned his father and called his sister Jiang Er aside, then told both of them about the matter.
“Dad, Jiang Er, my idea is that we all go to Wan Yi! Then, with us around to take care of you, Dad, we’ll be at ease!”
“Take care of me? I’ve got hands and feet—I don’t need you to wait on me!”
Xu Dajiang slapped the back of Xu Jin’s head, “You, on the other hand, have hands and feet, yet you still need someone to bring you three meals a day.”
Xu Jin sat up straight, then slumped after a long while.
It seemed his father was right.
“Here’s the plan, Jin’er: you take Jiang Er to Wan Yi. Since she’s going to cultivate, she needs better conditions—girls need some strength; otherwise, they’ll be bullied in the future!”
“As for me, I won’t go.”
“I’ll stay in Jinshan Commandery. These two big mansions, over a hundred mu of land, three shops—who’ll manage them if I leave?”
“I must stay.”
“Besides, I heard Wan Yi is as hot as an oven—I’m used to the climate here in Jinshan Commandery; no need to go through the trouble.” Xu Dajiang said.
“But Dad, who’ll take care of you if you stay here!”
“If anything happens, six thousand li away, we won’t be able to get there in time!”
“Nothing usually happens! Besides, six thousand li is a long way—whose going to tend to our ancestors’ spirit tablets and graves? Your mother’s grave is right here. Frankly, I’m not leaving—it’s settled.”
“Dad, we can take the spirit tablets! You’ve got to listen to me!”
Slap!
“Who’s the father here—you or me!” Xu Dajiang swung another blow to Xu Jin’s head, who didn’t dare dodge.
“It’s settled. I’m not going to Wan Yi. You all go cultivate—I’d have no one to talk to there! In Wan Yi, I’d just be Old Xu.
Do you know what I am now in Jinshan Commandery?” Xu Dajiang suddenly asked.
“What?” Xu Jin was baffled.
“Thanks to you, when I walk through the commandery city, everyone greets me with ‘Good day, Master Xu!’ When I return to Xu Family Village, the village head always slaughters chickens and sheep for me.
Every time I go back, the wine invitations pile up until three days later.
Several widows have come to my door bringing chickens and ducks, offering to mend my clothes and batting their eyelashes.”
Seeing Xu Jin and Jiang Er staring blankly, Xu Dajiang added, “Don’t worry—I’m not stupid enough to find you a stepmother! Even if I did, it’d be at most taking a concubine!
The village head’s advised me multiple times!”
Xu Jin sat stunned—this was his father’s true heart speaking.
“I haven’t even had enough of this immortal life yet!”
“So I won’t go to Wan Yi.”
“If you’ve got any sense, come back in two or three years with a daughter-in-law and maybe a grandchild—I might consider going to Wan Yi then.”
Xu Jin froze again—another push for marriage and grandchildren!
Why was this always chasing him wherever he went?
Damn it, was his father’s life really this comfortable?
This truly was an immortal life!
Compared to his father’s immortal life, Xu Jin’s own life felt utterly bitter.
In the end, this family meeting proved one thing: Xu Dajiang was the father, Xu Jin was the son!
So the final decision was Xu Dajiang’s decision!
Since they’d decided to go to Wan Yi, many things needed arranging.
Although his father had no lack of food or clothing, arrangements still had to be made. First, Xu Jin brought a gift and went straight to the Commandery Warden’s office to request an audience with Commandant Lu Chang.
Commandant Lu Chang of Jinshan Commandery personally opened the central gate to welcome Xu Jin, treating him with utmost courtesy.
Xu Jin didn’t waste time on formalities—he explained his purpose directly. Reciprocity was what made relationships.
One-way giving could turn into hatred.
He’d helped Lu Xianbing; now he must give the Lu family a chance to repay him—then helping Lu Xianbing again would form a virtuous cycle.
Helping without expecting return could turn into hatred when the debt became too heavy to bear.
“This is easy to handle.”
“But to do it well and make it last, we need to give your father an official title—a light, idle post—then no one will dare trouble him.”
Lu Chang paced a few steps, then said, “In the Chen Guo Commandery Warden’s office, there’s a position called Martial Merit Propagator, rank nine, minor but a legitimate military officer. No daily roll call required—just show up at the garrison two or three times a year.
Besides salary, the rank entitles him to two Personal Guards as bodyguards.
Conveniently, I have the authority to appoint directly at this rank.”
Xu Jin was stunned.
He’d only wanted Lu Chang to keep an eye out for his father—if trouble arose, to smooth it over—but now he was being handed an official post.
“Isn’t this inappropriate?”
“What’s inappropriate? We’re family—no need for formalities.
By the way, when are you heading to Guodao Academy?” Lu Chang asked.
“Unless something unexpected happens, tomorrow.”
“Good. I’ll settle this tonight. I’ll personally select two clean-background, virtuous young men as your father’s Personal Guards—don’t worry, leave it to me.” Lu Chang said.
Xu Jin could only thank him.
But as he thanked him, Xu Jin had a premonition: his father had already been “Master Xu,” widows had flirted with him—now with an official title and Personal Guards, would he start chasing after young girls and married women?
After leaving the Commandery Warden’s office, Xu Jin immediately carried another gift to visit Supervisor Cao Chun and Director Tian Zhang, asking them to look out for his father.
According to the Headmaster, barring accidents, the next Headmaster would be Supervisor Cao Chun.
After visiting the big shots, Xu Jin went to the Dao Academy to see his young companions.
Qian Xiaohu, Fang Zixing, Qiao Ruonan, and others.
These three would likely serve in the Jinshan Commandery Patrol Star Guard—local power brokers; having them watch over things daily would be more effective.
All three readily agreed. Qian Xiaohu even said that while Xu Jin was away, he’d send two Patrol Star Guards to visit Xu’s home every other day.
Now they would, and they’d keep doing so.
That was thoughtful!
“Brother, no more words—when I’m gone, I’m entrusting my father to you. I’ve got four bottles of Supplement Star Elixir, two of Awakening Spirit Elixir, and a first-rank Star Weapon—no longer needed by me. Keep them, and focus on boosting your strength.”
At these words, Qian Xiaohu’s face changed instantly: “Brother Jin, I’ve never wanted any of this! If not for your help, I’d still be hauling cargo at the docks—how could I be surrounded by followers like now?
This debt can never be repaid.
Brother Jin, giving me these things makes you seem distant—you don’t treat me like a brother!”
“Hahaha!”
Xu Jin slapped Qian Xiaohu’s shoulder and laughed, “We’re brothers—why are you being so formal? Besides, I’m giving you these so you can level up faster, rise to Patrol Star Guard Captain, and become stronger!
If anything happens to my father, you’ll be able to help.”
After much urging, Qian Xiaohu reluctantly accepted.
Xu Jin had thought deeply about Qian Xiaohu.
The power brokers in Jinshan Commandery had all promised to help—but power brokers are most easily swayed by power. Only brothers like Qian Xiaohu would remain loyal when it mattered most.
Investing in him was necessary.
The elixirs were useless to Xu Jin—he had several first-rank Star Weapons already.
If Qian Xiaohu proved himself worthy, Xu Jin could later support him as a Patrol Star Guard Squad Leader or even a high-ranking officer in the Commandery Guard.
By the time he finished, it was deep night. Xu Jin returned home to find two capable Commandery Guards now serving as his father’s Personal Guards.
Xu Dajiang had already changed into his official rank-nine military robe, glowing with excitement.
He probably wouldn’t take it off tonight.
Jiang Er was packing. Xu Jin sent a Star Message to Headmaster Dong Zhao: departing tomorrow morning. Then he entered the Star-Plucking Tower, preparing to enter the Second-Rank Martial Training Realm.
Instantly, several Star Messages flew toward him.
Great Chu, Hengsha Commandery City.
At night, Hengsha Commandery City still glowed brightly. Hu Xuechuan, awake for over ten days, hovered in the sky, activating the Star-Setting Disc to screen every civilian expelled from the city.
Below, some civilians cursed, others wept—but most accepted quietly.
Though the government was forcing them out, each person received three catties of rice upon leaving—free food, not entirely unacceptable.
This situation had lasted two and a half days.
Over two hundred thousand civilians had been expelled from Hengsha Commandery City.
The city remained sealed; by noon tomorrow, he would locate Qi Shanye hidden within.
A long-held wish fulfilled!
This time, to capture Qi Shanye alive, Hu Xuechuan had paid a heavy price.
He lost his post, spent years of influence and savings, even exhausted favors owed by his elders.
But the thought of capturing Qi Shanye alive made his heart burn.
With what he knew, he had absolute confidence Qi Shanye would confess willingly.
He would obtain the most secret transmissions of the Spirit Soul from the Spirit Record Star Palace.
With time, not only could he become a branch palace director—he could even sit in the seat of Star Lord, with even greater possibilities ahead.
By then, all the sacrifices will be worth it!
Thinking of this, Hu Xuechuan, who had been utterly exhausted, instantly perked up as if injected with stimulants, continuing to urge the Star-Setting Disc with his spiritual sense, locking onto Qi Shanye’s aura while sifting through the civilians leaving the city.
In the houses of northern Hengsha County City, Qi Shanye’s face was pale.
It was the aftereffect of cultivating Xu Jin’s mysterious technique.
Indeed, Qi Shanye felt Xu Jin’s technique wasn’t even true spirit-splitting—it was merely a crude method of severing the soul fragment.
He mastered it in less than half a day.
Now, a tiny shadow writhed within a jade tablet suspended before Qi Shanye’s chest—the shadow bore an uncanny resemblance to Qi Shanye himself.
In his right hand, Qi Shanye held a second-rank Star Pigeon.
This was his prize from sneaking into the Hengsha County Commandant’s office this afternoon.
Using an invisibility technique just to steal a Star Pigeon was overkill.
Ideally, he’d have captured a swift predatory bird.
But he couldn’t leave the city or enter the mountains, and there was nowhere to find a predatory bird.
Still, the second-rank Star Pigeon was good enough.
A first-rank Star Pigeon could fly a thousand li per hour; a second-rank one could fly fifteen hundred li per hour.
Theoretically, it could fly over ten li in an instant. (In this novel, “an instant” equals one minute.)
With Qi Shanye moving simultaneously, he could cover at least twenty li.
Qi Shanye could then flee far beyond Hengsha County City.
What remained was pursuit.
As long as he didn’t get surrounded, Qi Shanye’s escape skills were still formidable.
If Hu Xuechuan had discovered him just a little later, it would’ve been perfect.
Then, Qi Shanye carefully tied the jade tablet—infused with a severed fragment of his own spirit—to the second-rank Star Pigeon, securing it firmly without impeding its flight.
One minute later, Qi Shanye took a deep breath, used invisibility to slip to the northern city edge, as far from Hu Xuechuan as possible—Hu Xuechuan was now midway between the southern and eastern districts.
The next instant, the second-rank Star Pigeon shot upward, carrying the jade tablet with Qi Shanye’s spirit fragment.
The moment the jade tablet with Qi Shanye’s spirit fragment moved beyond one meter from his body, the hidden Star-Resonance Pattern vanished instantly, and his aura was exposed.
Almost simultaneously, Qi Shanye, still invisible, leapt swiftly toward the city wall, then sprinted in the opposite direction of the pigeon.
At the exact same moment, Hu Xuechuan, hovering above Hengsha County City, widened his eyes.
The Star-Setting Disc flickered violently—the previously faint and blurred aura it had locked onto suddenly sharpened into a bright red dot.
That red dot was rapidly fleeing beyond the northern city wall!
Seeing this, Hu Xuechuan sneered.
So the Old Demon of Shadows finally can’t hide anymore—trying to escape under cover of night?
But what difference does day or night make when the Star-Setting Disc locks his trail?
“The Shadow Demon has been spotted—follow me!”
Hu Xuechuan roared and immediately chased after the direction the second-rank Star Pigeon had flown; Lin Lie, another subordinate, and several fifth-rank Gathering Stars from the Hengsha Branch of the Cangming Star Temple also surged after him.
The group moved with incredible speed.
In mere instants, they neared the fleeing Qi Shanye.
But ahead, there was no trace of Qi Shanye.
Hu Xuechuan wasn’t surprised.
Qi Shanye’s invisibility was unmatched in this age—otherwise, he wouldn’t have earned the name “Shadow Demon.”
Moreover, the Star-Setting Disc only gave a vague location for Qi Shanye.
Otherwise, he’d have been captured long ago.
But the closer they got, the more precise the tracking became.
“Spread out! The Old Devil Qi should be within a few li ahead!
Carefully sense the surroundings—you’ll detect his Star Force fluctuations. Even if he’s the Shadow Demon, he can’t suppress his Star Force while moving at high speed!” Hu Xuechuan shouted excitedly.
But the five fifth-rank Gathering Stars were puzzled—after dozens of breaths, they’d scoured every corner of a ten-li radius, yet found no trace of the Shadow Demon Qi Shanye.
Aside from a few flying birds, not a single shadow stirred in the sky or ground within ten li!
Hu Xuechuan realized something was wrong.
The Star-Setting Disc showed Qi Shanye nearby, still moving rapidly—but they couldn’t see even a glimpse of him!
Could the Star-Setting Disc be malfunctioning?
Impossible!
It absolutely couldn’t be malfunctioning!
The Star-Setting Disc was flawless!
Then—
Hu Xuechuan strained his vision, pushing his Star Force and soul energy to their limits, accelerating his search in rapid circular sweeps.
Theoretically, Qi Shanye was right here.
Suddenly, Hu Xuechuan spotted a Star Pigeon soaring at a hundred meters above them, startled into high-speed flight—its leg was tied with a jade tablet?
Usually, they carried message tubes—why tie a heavy jade tablet?
Yet Hu Xuechuan still ignored the pigeon.
He accelerated again, overtaking the pigeon by several li.
Suddenly, his expression changed—he realized the Star-Setting Disc now showed the Shadow Demon’s position behind him.
How could this be?
The Shadow Demon’s speed wasn’t slower than his!
He spun around instantly, returning to the position indicated by the Star-Setting Disc.
Still no one.
But the pigeon with the jade tablet reappeared, impossibly, in Hu Xuechuan’s line of sight.
Something was wrong.
He reached out, snatching the fast-flying pigeon from midair.
The next instant, Hu Xuechuan’s face turned ashen.
The moment he touched it, he sensed the familiar aura from the jade tablet.
The aura of the Shadow Demon Qi Shanye—the man he’d hunted for over three years, the one he dreamed of capturing.
Star Force surged instantly toward the tablet.
The moment it touched the surface, the jade tablet flashed once with starlight—and shattered.
Without the jade as a vessel, the severed spirit fragment within dissolved instantly.
Far away, Qi Shanye, who had been sprinting for nearly half a minute, suddenly shuddered and spat blood—this was the backlash from the collapse of his spirit fragment’s soul essence.
But the next instant, Qi Shanye wiped the blood from his lips and burst into wild, unrestrained laughter.
Nearly half a minute!
He hadn’t expected that a mere spirit fragment, carrying less than one-tenth of his soul power, could hold Hu Xuechuan at bay for nearly half a minute!
The caged dragon ascends!
Once again, he had shaken off the relentless Hu Xuechuan!
And at that very instant, after the jade tablet shattered, the Star-Setting Disc on Hu Xuechuan’s person flickered violently—after a few breaths, another red dot appeared, marking Qi Shanye’s new location.
Hu Xuechuan glanced once—and his face turned deathly pale.
According to the Star-Setting Disc, Qi Shanye was now hundreds of li away!
The Shadow Demon was hundreds of li away—how could they encircle or capture him now?
“How is this possible?”
“How could this be possible?”
“Lord Master, why is the Star-Setting Disc… could it be that we—”
Puff!
The next instant, Hu Xuechuan, who hadn’t slept or rested for over ten days, spat a jet of blood and collapsed backward.
