Chapter 176: Complete Victory (Please subscribe)

"Hand over your divine soul, and I may spare your life!"

A fourth-tier, fourth-layer Condense Star Realm expert of the Prince Prince Zi Yi Clan was being trampled under Xu Jin's feet; blood poured from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, and his wings were charred black.

This was a lone Prince Prince Zi Yi Clan powerhouse whom Xu Jin had blasted down using Soul-Breaking and then attempted to capture.

Looking at the unyielding gaze of this Prince Prince Zi Yi Clan powerhouse and the lightning slowly gathering around him, Xu Jin sighed inwardly; he estimated he would have to find another target.

In the distance, a ninth-layer Refine Star Realm Prince Prince Zi Yi Clan member was roaring madly as he charged over; this was an attendant of the fourth-tier Prince Prince Zi Yi Clan expert.

Xu Jin didn't even look at him; when he charged close, a single Flame Explosion blasted him to pieces.

"Life or death, it depends on your own choice. I don't have much time or patience." Inside Xu Jin's Upper Shang Xinggong, the divine soul attack Soul-Breaking was already prepared.

In another two or three breaths, the fourth-tier Prince Prince Zi Yi Clan powerhouse before him would recover from the state of divine soul trauma and be able to launch an attack.

For his own safety, Xu Jin had to blast him with Soul-Breaking again.

However, blasting him twice in a row with Soul-Breaking would cause severe damage to the fourth-tier expert's divine soul; in the third-tier Purple Wind Star Domain, which lacked elixirs and methods, he wouldn't recover for several months.

This guy would basically be crippled.

Surrendering would be of no use then.

"I... I surrender!"

After a struggle within his heart, the fourth-layer Condense Star Realm Prince Prince Zi Yi Clan powerhouse, Zi Jian, chose to surrender.

He was in the prime of his life; he didn't want to die yet!

"That's right. Release your divine soul!"

The next instant, Zi Jian's expression turned bleak as he dropped all defenses, allowing Xu Jin's divine soul power to invade.

A dozen breaths later, Zi Jian let out a miserable scream, collapsed to the ground, and his entire body began to twitch violently.

Having a wisp of one's divine soul forcibly extracted was extremely painful.

Seeing this, Xu Jin sent out a Dream of Warmth.

Zi Jian immediately fell into a deep sleep.

The Dream of Warmth star pattern itself possessed the effect of healing divine soul injuries, but Xu Jin doing this wasn't entirely to heal his divine soul injuries.

Within the dream, Xu Jin could further strengthen his control.

It also had some effect.

A quarter of an hour later, Zi Jian slowly woke up. The moment he saw Xu Jin, he rolled over and knelt, "Greetings, Master."

But after bowing, he felt a bit confused.

He couldn't figure out how he had become a subordinate.

But he still bowed down.

This was the effect of the dream.

Watching Zi Jian finish bowing, Xu Jin said slowly, "I currently have three subordinates in total: you, Zi Yu, and Zi Jing. As for those two, one is second-layer Condense Star, and the other is third-layer Condense Star.

When the time comes, I will have them take you as their leader.

I will secure the position of City Lord for you. You should cultivate diligently; within a year, I will definitely come to the Purple Wind Star Domain again." Xu Jin gave his instructions.

After the instructions, Zi Jian agreed, then asked cautiously, "May I ask which Shang Xinggong you belong to, Master, so that this subordinate may have an idea?"

"Great Chen National Dao Academy."

Zi Jian's face revealed astonishment; he wasn't from a Shang Xinggong after all.

"In the future, Shang Xinggong disciples might come to attack. If you encounter them, just feign submission, then cultivate, develop your own forces, and quietly wait for my arrival," Xu Jin said.

"This subordinate will remember."

"This set of star weapons is for you. With it, you should now have the strength to defeat a fifth-tier Condense Star expert within your clan. After some time, when you break through to the fifth-layer Condense Star Realm,

defeating a sixth-layer Condense Star expert will be easy, and even against a seventh-layer Condense Star expert, you will be able to save your life," Xu Jin said.

The set of three third-tier supreme-grade star weapons Xu Jin bestowed were all captured previously from Shang Xinggong disciples.

Boots, armor, and a star weapon.

In the third-tier Purple Wind Star Domain, these were considered extremely precious treasures.

They were far, far stronger than the star weapons their own Prince Prince Zi Yi Clan forged.

Just having the star weapon in hand made Zi Jian overjoyed; as a high-ranking member of the Prince Prince Zi Yi Royal Clan, he knew their value.

"This subordinate thanks Master for the reward."

This time, Zi Jian proactively kowtowed.

"Additionally, here is a bottle of Four-Mystery Star-Restoring Pills and two bottles of Three-Origin Star-Returning Pills, both of which can quickly restore star power; you can use them to save your life at critical moments.

This bottle of supreme-grade Refreshing Pills is also rewarded to you!

I imagine that with these, it will be enough for you to save your life!" Xu Jin tossed out a few more items.

They were all captured after slaying Shang Xinggong disciples; he didn't feel a shred of heartache when rewarding them.

Since he had gone to such lengths to secure this pawn, he had to give him something to save his life.

Zi Jian was overjoyed once more.

Elixirs from the human race of the present world were treasures among treasures in the Purple Wind Star Domain.

Their King, Wang Zihao, would occasionally reward them as well.

But they were always rewarded by the pill.

The last time he was rewarded with a Four-Mystery Star-Restoring Pill was eight years ago when he broke through to the Condense Star Realm, and the King had rewarded him.

He had treated it as a precious treasure and consumed it during a life-or-death crisis, which saved his life.

One could see how precious it was.

But now, he was directly rewarded with a whole bottle.

And there were also supreme-grade Refreshing Pills he had never even heard of.

These were divine medicines for restoring divine soul power.

Immediately, Zi Jian bowed down again, heart and soul convinced.

The slight reluctance he had felt in his heart earlier had already vanished.

Such a Master, a Master who rewarded star weapons and gave elixirs—why hadn't he come sooner?

If he had come sooner, even if he couldn't become a City Lord, at the very least, he would be a Vice City Lord.

"This is a Moon-Chasing Emblem, which can increase speed; at critical moments, it can be used to save your life.

This is a Star-Healing Emblem, which can quickly restore your injuries in a short time; at critical moments, it can also be used to save your life.

Keep them well."

After thinking for a moment, Xu Jin bestowed two more emblems.

This time, Zi Jian was directly stunned.

Emblems.

These were legendary items; he had heard that only the Great King possessed them.

He hadn't expected that he would now have them too.

He kowtowed and thanked him again, heart and soul convinced.

Seeing this, Xu Jin felt it was about enough.

He gave a few more instructions, provided a token, and then flew away to see if he could capture and subdue another fourth-tier Prince Prince Zi Yi Clan powerhouse.

Today was already the fifth day since Xu Jin and his group entered the third-tier Purple Wind Star Domain.

The Battle of Merit Selection would be completely over in another two or three hours, and they would be returning.

Over the past day and a half, Xu Jin had been observing the Prince Prince Zi Yi Royal City for a long time.

At the beginning, Xu Jin also had great ambitions.

He wondered if he could directly conquer and recover the third-tier Purple Wind Star Domain.

The powerhouses in the late Condense Star Realm, especially the two remaining eighth-layer Condense Star experts, one seventh-layer Condense Star expert, and three sixth-layer Condense Star experts—Xu Jin could not deal with these six people.

However, these people were currently fighting for the throne.

Perhaps they would fight until they were brain-dead.

Taking advantage of them being both injured and exhausted, Xu Jin could then launch a sneak attack and assassinate these powerhouses; perhaps there would be a possibility of completely conquering the Purple Wind Star Domain.

But after observing in the Royal City for half a day, Xu Jin discovered that these late-stage Condense Star powerhouses of the Prince Prince Zi Yi Royal Clan were also very cunning.

They fought for a while at the beginning, and then it turned into a war of words.

In the end, it turned into everyone returning to their own homes and organizing armies to start attacking each other.

Each and every one of them was very protective of their own lives!

This directly caused Xu Jin's idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight to fail.

The idea of conquering and controlling the third-tier Purple Wind Star Domain in one fell swoop fell through.

So Xu Jin changed his approach.

Since he couldn't control it now, he would plant nails first.

After some attempts, he successfully captured a second-layer Condense Star Prince Prince Zi Yi Royal Clan member and controlled him using the Soul-Slaying Secret Technique passed down by Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao.

He also bestowed elixirs.

But a second-layer Condense Star cultivation base was not enough in the Purple Wind Star Domain.

Xu Jin had inquired; the alien races in the Purple Wind Star Domain could only rely on their own bitter cultivation, and their cultivation speed was not fast.

For a fourth-tier Condense Star Realm Prince Prince Zi Yi Clan member, being able to improve one layer of cultivation in two years was considered fast.

Then Xu Jin chose two third-layer Condense Star targets; one failed and was slain, while the other succeeded.

But it was still not enough.

The gap between third-layer Condense Star and sixth or seventh-layer Condense Star was too large.

Even if Xu Jin bestowed star weapons, it was still not enough.

After searching for a long time, he finally set his sights on this fourth-layer Condense Star Zi Jian.

To be precise, it was the fourth-tier, fourth-layer Condense Star peak Zi Jian.

In Xu Jin's sensing, this guy would break through to the fifth-layer Condense Star Realm in half a month at the earliest, or a month at the latest; if Xu Jin bestowed star weapons and elixirs again, he would be of great use.

Xu Jin had originally wanted to try his luck; if it didn't work, he would find other targets.

He hadn't expected that he was also a greedy and cowardly person; it worked!

With this Zi Jian, who was about to break through to the fifth-layer Condense Star Realm, as a foundation, Xu Jin would have a much easier time when he entered the third-tier Purple Wind Star Domain next time.

This place was a place he had to visit again.

Not to mention anything else, if Xu Jin wanted to specialize in lightning techniques, then he would have to find a way to get another Heart of Lei Yu.

An hour later, Xu Jin set his sights on another fourth-layer Condense Star Prince Prince Zi Yi Clan powerhouse.

He launched a fierce attack.

Unfortunately, this one was stubborn.

It caused a commotion again.

He directly blasted him to death with a Flame Explosion, casually looted some Star Jade Tablets, dug out the Star Core, and Xu Jin quickly fled far away.

At this time, there was still one hour left until the withdrawal.

Xu Jin didn't waste any more time; he found a safe place, consumed a supreme-grade Refine Bu Bu Xing Dan, and began to cultivate.

Since entering the third-tier Purple Wind Star Domain, although his cultivation had broken through to the fourth-layer Refine Star Realm, he basically had no time to cultivate during the first three days.

During this last day and a half, Xu Jin's morning and evening lessons had not been missed.

After more than half an hour, Xu Jin had finished refining two supreme-grade One-Essence Refine Star Pills and the medicinal power of one One-Essence Refine Bu Bu Xing Dan.

Within the Star Core of the Middle Shang Xinggong, the wisps of starlight were already nearly full.

After one more morning or evening lesson, Xu Jin's Lower Shang Xinggong would be able to reach the peak of the fourth-layer Refine Star Realm, and he would be able to engrave star patterns again.

This time in the third-tier Purple Wind Star Domain made Xu Jin realize once again the importance of strength.

No matter how many techniques or treasures one had, in the end, one still needed corresponding strength to exert the greatest effect.

After returning, he had to cultivate bitterly.

The short-term goal Xu Jin set for himself was the ninth-layer Refine Star Realm, and the mid-term goal was the second-layer Condense Star Realm.

If he cultivated to the second-layer Condense Star Realm, then Xu Jin should be considered to have a certain degree of self-preservation power in the present world.

Besides this, there was another goal—lightning-type star patterns.

If he could obtain a few good lightning-type star patterns, then under the protection obtained from the Heart of Lei Yu and the Lightning Spirit Star Core, his combat power would skyrocket.

Two quarters of an hour later, a jade tablet that Xu Jin had been carrying in his bosom suddenly shattered.

Countless starlight surged out from the jade tablet, wrapping Xu Jin up.

The next instant, Xu Jin disappeared from where he stood!

Inside the Star-Plucking Building branch of the main hall of the Cangming Shang Xinggong.

The two Star Lords, Du Tingyun and Zhang Zhen, had gloomy expressions.

This state had already lasted for two days.

Ever since they discovered the day before yesterday that the Shang Xinggong disciples had been completely wiped out, it had lasted until now.

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao expressed his understanding.

He had experienced such emotions many times.

At this very moment, Cheng Yuexiao began to personally activate the Star Gate to welcome the disciples back.

The Star Lords Du Tingyun and Zhang Zhen also turned their gazes toward the Star Gate.

The final result was about to appear.

These last two days, because of the total annihilation of the Shang Xinggong disciples, they had not activated the Six-Harmony Golden Wheel again.

They had no way of knowing the life or death of the National Dao Academy disciples.

But at this moment, the battle results were about to be completely revealed.

Du Tingyun and Zhang Zhen also stared fixedly at the Star Gate; in their hearts, they still held a huge extravagant hope.

They hoped that the National Dao Academy disciples would also be completely wiped out.

It would be best if not a single one came back.

But very quickly, this extravagant hope of theirs was shattered.

In front of the Star Gate, the first ray of starlight lit up; it was the National Dao Academy disciple Ying Ge returning!

While Du Tingyun and Zhang Zhen's hearts trembled, they began to hope that only one would return alive. Then, that only two would return alive.

That three would return alive.

Unfortunately, their hope was shattered by the appearance of one ray of starlight after another.

Ji Hongli, Wang Jiugao, Niu Ju, and others appeared one by one.

Very quickly, six National Dao Academy disciples had already returned.

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao and Left Libationer Meng Yanhui were already beaming with joy.

Du Tingyun and Zhang Zhen's expressions were already ugly to the extreme.

But very quickly, they discovered that Xu Jin had not returned yet.

The champion of the autumn examination of the Great Chen National Dao Academy this year, the top genius of the Great Chen National Dao Academy, Xu Jin, had not returned.

Had he died in battle?

That should be the case!

Their Shang Xinggong disciples had all been wiped out; it wouldn't make sense if not a single National Dao Academy disciple died in battle.

If Xu Jin died in battle, it couldn't be more appropriate.

Thinking this way, Du Tingyun and Zhang Zhen's hearts finally felt a little more comfortable, and the dark clouds that had hung over their faces for two days dissipated quite a bit.

But the next instant, another ray of starlight lit up.

Who else could it be but Xu Jin?

In an instant, dark clouds immediately gathered on the two Star Lords' faces!

"Hahahaha, they've all returned, it's good that they've all returned!"

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao laughed loudly; his laughter was incomparably relaxed and incomparably refreshing!

He hadn't laughed so happily in a full dozen years.

But Cheng Yuexiao's laughter sounded incomparably harsh to Du Tingyun and Zhang Zhen's ears.

It was like mockery, and even more like sarcasm!

"Two Star Lords, the Battle of Merit Selection has ended, so I will take the disciples back first," Meng Yanhui said.

"Wait, we still need to verify the tokens," Du Tingyun said.

The tokens Du Tingyun spoke of were naturally the heads or Star Cores of the ninth-layer Refine Star Realm alien races within the third-tier Purple Wind Star Domain.

If there were no such tokens, the National Dao disciples would have violated the rules.

But just as Du Tingyun's words fell, following a glance from Xu Jin, the seven disciples each took out several Star Cores of ninth-layer Refine Star Realm alien races.

Now, Tianyang Xingjun Du Tingyun had nothing to say.

But just as Cheng Yuexiao was about to leave with the group of disciples, Tianyang Xingjun Zhang Zhen blocked them again, his handlebar mustache and eyes both widening.

"Grand Master, this Battle of Merit Selection is not right!"

"Oh, what is not right?" Cheng Yuexiao looked at Zhang Zhen and sneered.

"Grand Master, my Shang Xinggong disciples were completely wiped out, while your National Dao Academy disciples are unscathed; this definitely has problems! I must re-examine the National Dao Academy disciples inside and out to see if they cheated!" Zhang Zhen gritted his teeth and said.

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao's expression suddenly turned cold as he stared at Zhang Zhen, "Tianyang Xingjun Zhang, you have a lot of nerve!

In previous years of merit selection, when five or even six of my National Dao Academy disciples died miserably, why didn't I see you come out and say this?"

"It's different!

"This time, our Shang Xinggong disciples have been completely wiped out!" As he spoke, Zhang Zhen glanced at Du Tingyun, signaling for Du Tingyun to support him.

Du Tingyun immediately reacted, "That is indeed the case!

Whether it was Shang Xinggong disciples or National Dao Academy disciples, there has never been a side that was completely wiped out!

This is not normal!

Moreover, the worst casualties our Shang Xinggong disciples have ever suffered in the past was only four deaths!

Grand Master, we demand that the National Dao Academy disciples must be subjected to a detailed inspection once more to see if they cheated, to show fairness!" Du Tingyun demanded.

"Right, they must be inspected!" Having received support, Zhang Zhen's entire body surged with star power, looking very much like he would take action if they didn't agree.

Left Libationer Meng Yanhui was furious and just wanted to go up and argue, but was stopped by Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao.

Cheng Yuexiao stared coldly at Du Tingyun and Zhang Zhen, "According to the two Star Lords, our Great Chen National Dao Academy disciples deserve to die, while your Shang Xinggong disciples are precious and cannot die!"

"That's not it, total annihilation is too abnormal, we are just inspecting them a little!" Du Tingyun said.

"Exactly, just an inspection, I ask the Grand Master to cooperate."

"Cooperate with your ancestors!"

With a roar, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao suddenly took a step forward, and three-colored starlight surged out like a flood; the moment Zhang Zhen's star power surged, the three-colored starlight suddenly transformed into a three-colored flood dragon, and with a dragon's roar, Zhang Zhen was blasted away by Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao, vomiting blood.

Du Tingyun, who had just wanted to take action, was scared out of his wits and hurriedly dodged.

The next instant, the three-colored flood dragon pounced like a tiger, pinning the Tianyang Xingjun Zhang Zhen, who was just about to flip over, back to the ground, and a dragon claw pressed directly onto Zhang Zhen's throat, instantly causing Zhang Zhen's face to turn pale and fear to appear in his eyes.

Only then did he remember some legends from the past.

"You want to change the rules of the Battle of Merit Selection? Just relying on you is not enough!

If you have the ability, have the Star Lords of your two Star Palaces come and talk to me face-to-face!

I, Cheng Yuexiao, will naturally accompany them!"

After finishing, Cheng Yuexiao swept a contemptuous glance at Zhang Zhen, "As for you, what kind of thing are you?

I, Cheng Yuexiao, give your Cangming Shang Xinggong some face by calling you a Tianyang Xingjun, and you dare to bare your fangs at me?

Who gave you the courage?

Or are you... incredibly stupid!"

While speaking, Cheng Yuexiao stepped directly over the fallen Zhang Zhen; as he stepped over, the three-colored flood dragon suddenly raised its head, and Zhang Zhen was blasted away again, blood spraying wildly from his mouth!

"Even if your Star Lords saw me, they would have to discuss things according to the rules; just relying on you!"

While speaking, Cheng Yuexiao stared at Tianyang Xingjun Du Tingyun, but the latter hurriedly lowered his head, not even daring to meet his gaze.

Only then did the two realize that Cheng Yuexiao was actually an existence on the same level as the Star Lords of their Shang Xinggong.

Even if he were weaker than their Star Lords.

He was still much, much stronger than them.

It was just that they had been stationed in Great Chen for these past few years and were used to throwing their weight around, especially when they reached the imperial court, where even the Great Chen Emperor had to bow to them, which slowly gave them a misconception, leading to today's insolence!

But Cheng Yuexiao had taught them a heavy lesson today.

"Let's go!"

The next instant, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao waved his hand and left with the seven National Dao Academy disciples.

The moment they left, Cheng Yuexiao's voice echoed in the ears of both Zhang Zhen and Du Tingyun.

"If there are any further acts of overstepping the rules, I will definitely execute you without mercy!"

Pfft!

Blood sprayed from Zhang Zhen's mouth again!

In his eyes, fear first appeared, followed by infinite hatred.

A few breaths later, he was helped up by Du Tingyun.

"There must be something fishy, there must be something fishy!" Zhang Zhen said with a bloody mouth, looking ferocious.

"This year's Battle of Merit Selection has already ended!" Du Tingyun sighed.

"No! The underhanded tactics—I had Zhang Shuo directly bring the order inside, ordering the Prince Prince Zi Yi King Zi Hao to lead the fourth-tier elite to slay all the National Dao Academy disciples.

Under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for the Shang Xinggong disciples to be completely wiped out, and it is impossible for the National Dao Academy disciples to return so intact." Zhang Zhen said anxiously.

"There was such an order?" Du Tingyun also just learned of this matter.

In that case, for the National Dao Academy disciples, it could be called being surrounded by enemies on all sides!

Suddenly, Du Tingyun was also a bit curious, curious about how the National Dao Academy disciples managed to return in full force under the pursuit of a large number of fourth-tier Condense Star Realm powerhouses?

There must be something fishy?

But he couldn't figure out exactly what it was!

Fourth-tier powerhouses couldn't enter, and fourth-tier emblems couldn't be brought in either.

Even if they had explosive secret techniques, killing one or two fourth-tier powerhouses would be the limit?

But there were nearly a hundred Condense Star Realm powerhouses in the third-tier Purple Wind Star Domain?

"But now, there is no way!" Du Tingyun said.

"That is indeed the case!

But Tianyang Xingjun Du, have you thought about it? If Great Chen really mastered such a secret technique, then what about next year's merit selection, or the merit selection in two or three years?

At that time, if they keep adopting the Category B plan.

By then, not only will we be unable to weaken Great Chen's vital forces, but instead, our Shang Xinggong's future elite forces will be weakened!

If this continues for a few years, it will be our Shang Xinggong that suffers," Zhang Zhen said.

Du Tingyun immediately felt a chill.

This was indeed the case; Zhang Zhen was thinking long-term.

"This time, although I will be punished, I must report this matter to the Shang Xinggong so that the Shang Xinggong can seek countermeasures as soon as possible! I think the key probably lies with that Xu Jin, don't you think?" Zhang Zhen said.

Once these words were spoken, Du Tingyun immediately understood.

Because explaining and reporting it this way meant it wasn't entirely their fault.

It wasn't that they hadn't chosen good disciples or planned the tactics well, but that Great Chen was too cunning and too vicious, having invented some cheating method.

Perhaps it could reduce their punishment!

"Good, I will also report it this way; that Xu Jin might be the key."

"It's a deal!"

"Farewell!"

After the two agreed, Du Tingyun left first.

But Tianyang Xingjun Zhang Zhen of the Cangming Shang Xinggong did not rush to leave.

After checking the Star Gate for a while, he went directly to the main hall of the Cangming Shang Xinggong and issued an order to assemble the ninth-layer Refine Star Realm disciples.

He had clearly issued an order to the Prince Prince Zi Yi King Zi Hao, but it hadn't been executed.

This made Zhang Zhen suspect that Zi Hao had run into trouble.

Just a moment ago, Zhang Zhen activated the Soul-Locking Emblem of the Lord of the third-tier Purple Wind Star Domain, Zi Hao, which he had obtained previously, but there was no movement at all.

This meant that the Prince Prince Zi Yi King Zi Hao had already run into trouble.

The third-tier Purple Wind Star Domain had run into big trouble.

This was the fundamental reason why Zhang Zhen had insisted on inspecting the National Dao Academy disciples just now!

There must be big trouble.

Zi Hao was an invincible existence within the third-tier Purple Wind Star Domain.

And they had previously paid a huge price to send Zi Hao a fourth-tier life-saving emblem.

But now, Zi Hao had run into trouble.

Unfortunately, Cheng Yuexiao was too overbearing.

He had no chance to search them at all.

But now, he had to take action.

He had to send a batch of ninth-layer Refine Star Realm disciples into the Purple Wind Star Domain in the shortest possible time to investigate the situation.

To see what exactly happened to Zi Hao.

If Zi Hao had really died in battle, then the Heart of Lei Yu that Zi Hao possessed must be obtained!

Previously, in order to borrow Zi Hao's hand to control the Purple Wind Star Domain, they had reached an agreement with Zi Hao, giving Zi Hao the secret technique to condense star will, allowing Zi Hao to condense another Heart of Lei Yu of star will and hand it over to them.

This way, they would be able to completely conquer and control the Purple Wind Star Domain.

Even, as long as they obtained the Heart of Lei Yu and then slew Zi Hao, they could obtain two Hearts of Lei Yu; at that time, they could easily support a King, and their degree of control over the Purple Wind Star Domain would only be higher.

But the problem was, there was clearly a change now.

If the Purple Wind Star Domain, which was only one step away from being completely controlled, ran into trouble, then by comparison, the deaths of four Cangming Shang Xinggong geniuses were nothing.

If the Purple Wind Star Domain really ran into big trouble, that would be a grave crime.

By then, he, Zhang Zhen, would not only be exiled to the Star River Battlefield, but would also be exiled to the very front line of the Star River Battlefield!

This was what Zhang Zhen was most worried about.

And it was also the fundamental reason why he had desperately wanted to search them just now!

A few breaths later, one Cangming Shang Xinggong disciple after another who had received the emergency order began to arrive.

Zhang Zhen prepared to wait until he had gathered twenty people before sending them out.

Within the National Dao Academy, a large number of instructors, head instructors, and a group of Vice Academic Rectors, Academic Rectors, including various level managers and hall masters, were all waiting expectantly.

Each and every one of them had a solemn expression.

Every year at this time, it was the saddest moment for the Great Chen National Dao Academy.

Especially those Vice Academic Rectors, who had to welcome the news of the deaths of the disciples they had just been training for a month.

Although they hadn't accumulated much affection, the bond between teacher and student was natural.

Inside the small courtyard, Ning Yuchan didn't go to cultivate tonight either; she and Jiang Er were leaning against the courtyard gate, biting their lips and quietly looking at the sky.

Their expressions were complex.

Although she was very confident in Xu Jin's strength, she had personally experienced such a tragedy once, so she knew the difficulty involved.

Naturally, she was incomparably anxious in her heart.

Similarly, all the relatives of the disciples who participated in the Battle of Merit Selection were incomparably worried.

Some families had already prepared coffins, and the entire clan was filled with sorrow!

In previous years of Category B Battles of Merit Selection, there was never a time when people didn't die!

It just depended on whether more or fewer people died!

It could be said that the entire Dachen Wan Yi was affected by this battle, and it was somewhat gloomy!

Suddenly, a large expanse of starlight rose in the sky and quickly flew over to the sky above the National Dao Academy; everyone who was paying attention to this matter looked over.

Many people immediately became nervous.

Even Liu Zhou Qingzhu couldn't help but put her hands on her waist and look up.

"Everyone, in this Battle of Merit Selection for our Great Chen National Dao Academy disciples, seven disciples participated, and seven disciples returned!

A complete victory!" This was Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao's voice.

After the atmosphere was gloomy for a breath or two, it suddenly erupted.

"Complete victory!"

"Complete victory!"

"Complete victory!"

The cheers rose wave after wave; the gloomy atmosphere of the entire Dachen Wan Yi was swept away, and songs of joy and laughter rang out once again.

Many instructors and head instructors immediately made appointments with friends to drink until they were drunk tonight!

Jiang Er and Ning Yuchan beamed with joy at the same time!

Tears faintly appeared in Ning Yuchan's eyes.

"Complete victory, complete victory, ouch, it hurts!" Only then did Liu Zhou Qingzhu realize that she had been too focused just now and had pinched herself in pain.

However, in some dark corners, some people felt secretly regretful!
