Chapter 266: Long Time No See

In a mansion on the Star River Battlefield, a flash of star light arrived through the sky and landed in the palm of an elderly man in brocade robes in the courtyard.

With just one glance, the elderly man's brows locked tightly.

This was the preliminary investigation result sent by Feng Zhi regarding the situation of Zhu Wenhai being killed; it was basically true, but...

"Human experts from the current world?"

For no reason, how could humans from the current world trespass into a Fourth-Tier star domain.

In most cases, humans from the current world trespassing into Fourth-Tier and higher star domains was basically courting death.

Suddenly, this elderly man surnamed Chai remembered something.

"Steward Zhao." The elderly man surnamed Chai shouted lightly.

The next instant, a middle-aged man appeared from the shadows and bowed, "Marquis, please give your orders."

"Go and check, is the Guards Huo Yun star domain on the list of target star domains for this Tower Tribute Battle?"

"Yes."

The middle-aged man surnamed Zhao disappeared into the shadows in a blink, and about half an hour later, he reappeared and handed over a jade tablet.

"Marquis, the Guards Huo Yun star domain is indeed on the list of target star domains for this Tower Tribute Battle; three days ago, Great Chen elite disciples slaughtered their way into the Guards Huo Yun star domain.

Inside this jade tablet is the relevant information on the five Great Chen Guo Academy elite disciples who slaughtered their way in. The information regarding their strength should be the latest, and the time span will not exceed half a month."

Marquis Chai took the jade tablet and was very satisfied.

Zhao Weizhen did this best; this insight was the most useful steward he had used in so many years.

If he ordered him to handle a matter, he could get all the ins and outs of the matter, anything he needed, and anything he could think of and prepare, all ready for him.

Extremely worry-free.

Extremely handy.

And didn't delay things.

If it were another steward, he would have to order him several times.

He saved him too much trouble.

Talent is hard to come by.

When there is an opportunity, he still has to satisfy this kid's wish.

After all, this kid's wish was only slightly difficult for him.

But after reading the information in the jade tablet, Marquis Chai's brows locked again.

This shouldn't be.

Looking at the information on the five people in the jade tablet, even the strongest Ye Anshi, his cultivation was only just broken through to the Fourth-Tier Condense Star Seventh-Layer.

Based on this person's previous performance, beheading a Fifth-Tier Gather Battle early-stage expert across levels was the limit; Fifth-Tier mid-stage was hanging.

But Zhu Wenhai was Fifth-Tier peak, and at critical moments could ascend to pseudo-Sixth Tier, his cultivation surpassing Fifth-Tier Gather Battle peak by a thread, and he had massive amounts of star power within the divine statue to rely on.

Not to mention Fourth-Tier Seventh-Layer Ye Anshi, even if this Ye Anshi broke through to Fifth-Tier Seventh-Layer, he might not necessarily be able to kill him.

Could it be that this Ye Anshi had already opened a Sumeru space and brought Sixth-Tier emblems inside?

"Check again, check in my name."

"Yes."

Zhao Weizhen disappeared into the shadows again, but Marquis Chai took out the Star-Plucking Token and initiated a star light transmission.

Before long, True Person Vermilion Bird of the Worship-Battle Divine Sect sent a reply.

【Five Fourth-Tier mid-late stage dolls want to kill Zhu Wenhai? You're kidding me.】

【True Person, don't be impatient; it has already been found out that Zhu Wenhai was killed by human elites from the current world, so finding the Star Official seal is very simple; it's just on the human elites from the current world who broke into the Guards Huo Yun star domain.

There are only a few people, I will find them one by one, and after they return, I will search and kill them.】

【What if they return and hand the Star Official seal to Cheng Yuexiao?】

【This... ordinary Fourth-Tier elites sent in really wouldn't be a match for these five, and they likely have Fifth-Tier or even Sixth-Tier emblems in their hands.】

【Fifth-Tier and Sixth-Tier emblems aren't Chinese cabbage; not to mention Great Chen, even the Heavenly Sun Star Palace and the Cangming Star Palace aren't wealthy to that extent, so I don't believe they can't be piled to death.

You send ten Fourth-Tier peak experts in, and I will dispatch ten; use human lives to pile these five to death!

Besides, don't you have the support of the star domain natives?

Doing this is the safest!

If the thing is handed to Cheng Yuexiao, I'm finished, and I won't let you have it easy either.】

【True Person, you and I are one; if one prospers, both prosper, if one suffers, both suffer; I will definitely cooperate fully with your affairs. Then let's do as you say; I will send elites in first, and I will also receive your people and send them into the Guards Huo Yun star domain from the Star River Battlefield.

Even if I have to pile them with human lives, I must get it back.】

【Good!】

【Good!】

That feeling of controlling everything was back.

And it was even stronger than the feeling in the Flower Star Domain.

The heaven and earth authority obtained in the Flower Star Domain was only thirty percent.

But in the Guards Huo Yun star domain, what Xu Jin obtained now was heaven and earth will authority, reaching forty percent.

The next instant, Xu Jin just moved his mind, and the entire Wind Spirit City was covered by dark clouds; he moved his mind again, and the scorching sun reappeared, and the dark clouds dissipated.

And Xu Jin only consumed a tiny bit of divine soul power.

At the same time, Xu Jin sensed five auras that were extremely repulsive to heaven and earth will very clearly.

These should be Ye Anshi and the Great Senior Sister Yang Miaozhen and others who had entered; their positions were extremely clear.

Under such heaven and earth authority, Xu Jin could easily command the army to rush over and surround and annihilate them.

This was why the Grand Master said that Fourth-Tier and higher star domains were terrifying to unify.

As long as one possessed forty percent of the heaven and earth will authority, even if a Sixth-Tier came, they would have to be piled to death by human-sea tactics.

At the same time, Xu Jin clearly sensed the auras of the experts existing in this heaven and earth, and could even faintly sense their star power auras and precise positions.

The Wind Spirit Leopard-Tail clan, besides the Queen who was the strongest at Fifth-Tier Ninth-Layer peak, the Fifth-Tier late-stage experts had already been wiped out by Xu Jin.

Currently, within the entire Wind Spirit Leopard-Tail clan, there were five Fifth-Tier mid-stage experts and twelve Fifth-Tier early-stage experts left.

A few Fifth-Tier early-stage experts could be kept, but the Fifth-Tier mid-stage ones had to be wiped out.

As for the Fire Tiger clan's Fifth-Tier experts, most had to be wiped out; if any were willing to hand over their divine soul, then a few could be kept for checks and balances.

The Fire Spirit clan was also like this.

Xu Jin discovered through the Guards Huo Yun star domain's heaven and earth authority sensing that the Fire Spirit clan also had a few Fifth-Tier experts left.

These all needed Xu Jin to solve personally.

Besides this, Xu Jin also had some faint sensing through this forty percent heaven and earth authority; it was very blurry and should be related to the heaven and earth will authority itself, but he couldn't sense it clearly.

He didn't know if there would be any improvement after getting the heaven and earth will authority within the Fire Tiger clan.

He had to hurry up and work.

A few breaths later, Xu Jin got up and woke the sleeping Wind Spirit Leopard-Tail clan Queen.

Having experienced the baptism of the dreamscape carefully woven by Xu Jin, this Queen looked at Xu Jin with even more respect.

As for the treasury, there was no need to say anything.

The Leopard-Tail Queen had even handed over the Leopard-Tail Scepter, let alone the treasury.

Xu Jin just mentioned it, and the Leopard-Tail Queen not only handed over the treasury but also directly handed over her private treasury.

The valuable items in the Wind Spirit Leopard-Tail clan's treasury were similar to those in the Fire Spirit clan's treasury.

It was just that the jade tablets with attributes were mostly wind-attributed.

Compared to the Fire Spirit clan's treasury, the stock of star jade tablets in the Wind Spirit Leopard-Tail clan's treasury was much less, only half of the Fire Spirit clan's.

Xu Jin asked for the reason.

It was because under the influence of the military advisor Zhu Wenhai, the Leopard-Tail Queen had distributed a large amount of star jade tablets to raise the tribesmen's cultivation, and a portion was also handed over to the military advisor Zhu Wenhai.

Xu Jin estimated that they had been transported out.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Xu Jin emptied the star jade tablets in the treasury.

There was no room for other things, but star jade tablets could be stored.

Third-Tier and Fourth-Tier star jade tablets were all converted into star light, directly adding over six thousand strands of Fourth-Tier star light to Xu Jin's Arena Platform, making the Arena Platform's star light approach the twenty-thousand-strand mark, which was also a large harvest.

Besides this, he also harvested over a hundred Fifth-Tier star jade tablets.

He didn't see Sixth-Tier star jade tablets in the treasury.

But Xu Jin saw four Sixth-Tier star jade tablets in the Leopard-Tail Queen's private treasury.

According to the Leopard-Tail Queen, even for them, it was only possible to mine one Sixth-Tier star jade tablet every few years.

The Leopard-Tail Queen's private treasury mostly contained treasures and quite a few unique ornaments.

There were also a small amount of Fourth-Tier and Fifth-Tier star jade tablets.

Xu Jin didn't stand on ceremony either; he took all four Sixth-Tier star jade tablets and half of the Fifth-Tier star jade tablets, leaving the others for the Leopard-Tail Queen.

He couldn't let her become a pauper.

At this point, the total quantity of Xu Jin's Fifth-Tier star jade tablets had already reached over 550. As for the others, most were jewelry and rare treasures, and Xu Jin had no need to take them.

But when Xu Jin's gaze swept over a blue glazed-like object, the star light on Xu Jin's Arena Platform suddenly trembled slightly.

Xu Jin's heart moved slightly, and the gaze that had just passed over returned to this blue glazed-like object.

It was only as long as a thumb, slightly thicker than a thumb, blue glazed-like, triangular, with one side pointed, while the other side looked like it had been broken directly, a bit like a triangular broken thorn.

A broken star weapon?

Xu Jin asked suspiciously while pointing at this blue triangular broken thorn, "Where did this thing come from?"

"Returning to the lord, this is a broken weapon that fell from the sky many years ago; even the Fire Spirit clan's forging masters couldn't melt it, so the subjects offered it, and it has been thrown in the secret treasury ever since, never moved again." The Leopard-Tail Queen said respectfully.

Hearing this, Xu Jin nodded, picked it up casually; it was quite heavy in his hand, and for something the size of a thumb, it was surprisingly heavy, weighing over ten catties.

The next instant, this blue triangular broken thorn disappeared into thin air, having been collected by Xu Jin into the Arena Platform.

Since the Arena Platform had a reaction, he would see what the reaction was after collecting it into the Arena Platform.

What surprised Xu Jin was that after collecting this blue triangular broken thorn into the Arena Platform, Xu Jin discovered that it could only be nurtured.

He wanted to throw it away, but thinking that since it could be nurtured and was an object from the sky, and even the Fire Spirit clan's forging masters couldn't melt it, he would nurture it and see.

Anyway, the Arena Platform's ability to nurture star weapons was relatively chicken-rib-like, so he would throw it in and see.

Afterward, Xu Jin threw this blue triangular broken thorn under the star lamp and would nurture it for ten days or half a month first.

Suddenly, a commotion sounded at the entrance of the secret treasury; Xu Jin turned his head and discovered it was a team of Wind Spirit Leopard-Tail clan soldiers bringing five people directly over.

It was Ye Anshi, the Great Senior Sister Yang Miaozhen, and the other five who had arrived.

The instant Xu Jin turned around, he saw Yang Miaozhen, who had been incomparably vigilant and covered in star light, take a few steps forward and say in surprise, "Junior brother, is it really you?"

Xu Jin nodded with a smile.

Yang Miaozhen was still somewhat suspicious, looked at the Fifth-Tier Ninth-Layer peak Leopard-Tail Queen, tentatively approached, and discovered that the Leopard-Tail Queen had no hostility, only then did she step forward and pinch Xu Jin's face fiercely.

The real touch and Xu Jin's real distorted expression finally made Yang Miaozhen completely feel at ease.

"Junior brother, is it really you?"

"I was so afraid you were impersonated by an alien, and the token was also taken by an alien, or it was an illusion; I didn't quite dare to believe it."

"Believe it now?" Xu Jin smiled bitterly.

"Believe it, the feel is real."

After speaking, Yang Miaozhen beckoned to Ye Anshi and the others, "Senior Brother Ye, you can rest assured, it really is my junior brother Xu Jin; he didn't lie, it looks like he really did conquer Wind Spirit Wang Cheng."

Ye Anshi, the eldest disciple of Kou Jing, Kou University Head, only then stepped forward, looked at Xu Jin, and asked with an incredulous expression, "Junior Brother Xu, did you really conquer Wind Spirit Wang Cheng with your own strength?"

Xu Jin smiled and looked at the Wind Spirit Leopard-Tail Queen.

The latter was very clever and took half a step back, saying, "My lord, do you need me to prepare anything?"

"Prepare some food and drink, then take the map of the entire Guards Huo Yun star domain and give it to them, and call the commander generals under your command over, let them each control a general's divine soul.

When I am not here, take the orders of Senior Brother Ye Anshi and Senior Sister Yang Miaozhen as the standard."

"Yes, I will arrange it right away."

When the Leopard-Tail Queen knelt and left, the eyes of Ye Anshi, Yang Miaozhen, and the others all widened like copper bells.

A Fifth-Tier Ninth-Layer peak King kneeling to a Third-Tier Ninth-Layer, no, a Fourth-Tier First-Layer human, this is really...

Long time no see.

By this time, there was no need for Xu Jin to hide anything in front of his fellow disciples.

And the shock of these five fellow disciples had only just begun.

The five listened to Xu Jin's brief account as if listening to a myth.

In the process, the attendants in Wind Spirit Wang Cheng sent up wine and food, and several people ate while talking.

But when the Wind Spirit Leopard-Tail Queen knelt beside Xu Jin, serving wine and food to Xu Jin, the five were directly stunned.

Ye Anshi even pinched his own thigh.

This was not long time no see.

The King of a Fourth-Tier star domain, a Fifth-Tier Ninth-Layer peak King.

Kneeling and serving!

Under normal circumstances, one wouldn't see this scene in a long time.

"Senior Brother Ye, Senior Sister Yang, the situation is like this; currently, only the Fire Tiger clan in this star domain possesses powerful Fifth-Tier strength, but this is not a problem; I will clear them out right away.

If you are willing, you will continue to stay in the Guards Huo Yun star domain, even if you don't leave until the Tower Tribute Battle ends, but wait until the Grand Master rebuilds the fixed star gate before leaving.

This will take about one or two months.

During this period, I will let the Leopard-Tail Queen cooperate with you fully, striving to conquer the Guards Huo Yun star domain within one or two months.

The effect of conquering a Fourth-Tier star domain for the Great Chen Guo Academy, I don't need to say more, you also understand.

Of course, if you are not willing, after I leave, I will let the Grand Master send others in." Xu Jin said.

For such a good thing, if Ye Anshi and Yang Miaozhen didn't agree, they would be fools.

The merit of conquering a Fourth-Tier star domain, even if Xu Jin took the majority, for them, it was still a heaven-shaking merit.

"No problem, absolutely no problem!"

Ye Anshi, Yang Miaozhen, and the others agreed fully.

Whoever didn't agree was a fool.

After everyone discussed carefully for half an hour, Xu Jin left.

Xu Jin left, naturally to start a massacre.

Xu Jin directly killed his way to the Fire Tiger clan's Red Tiger City, just killing his way in single-handedly like that.

Encountering Fourth-Tier experts blocking the way, he blasted them to death with a casual flame explosion; if he discovered Fifth-Tier experts on the road, he would blast those he could blast, and chase those he couldn't.

Fifth-Tier experts had to be cleared out.

A quarter of an hour later, in Red Tiger City, except for one Fifth-Tier Second-Layer Fire Tiger alien, all other Fifth-Tier aliens were beheaded by Xu Jin; Xu Jin only obtained one Fire Tiger Heart from the beheaded Fire Tiger King.

Fifth-tier experts must be cleared out.

It wasn't the two he had expected.

Within the Fire Cycle Yunxing Domain, the Fire Tiger clan is the weakest; I didn't expect that there would only be one low-tier Heaven and Earth Star Will.

Sure enough, the Fire Spirit clan was still a bit stronger.

As for that Fifth-Tier Second-Layer Fire Tiger, he was controlled by Xu Jin's divine soul, and then he was made to control Red Tiger City, waiting for the Wind Spirit Leopard-Tail clan's incorporation.

Of course, the Fire Tiger clan's treasury still didn't escape Xu Jin's poisonous hands.

What surprised Xu Jin was that the Fire Tiger clan's treasury was actually richer than the Wind Spirit Leopard-Tail clan's treasury.

Third-Tier and Fourth-Tier star jade tablets directly converted nearly ten thousand strands of Fourth-Tier star light for Xu Jin's Arena Platform.

Making the total strands of Fourth-Tier star light in Xu Jin's Arena Platform exceed thirty thousand.

Even if he ascended later, there was still a large surplus.

He had really eaten his fill at once.

From now on, Xu Jin could use the Arena Platform's star light to recover star power at will.

He could even save on pills.

Although the Fifth-Tier experts of Red Tiger City had been wiped out by Xu Jin, the subsequent clearing was the most time-consuming.

Xu Jin sensed the remaining Fifth-Tier experts through the Guards Huo Yun star domain's heaven and earth authority, and then flew at high speed by stepping on stars, clearing them out one by one.

It was somewhat time-consuming.

But at the very least, Xu Jin had to clear out all the Fifth-Tier mid-late stage aliens.

Otherwise, after Xu Jin left, these people would be the biggest obstacles to thoroughly conquering the Fourth

But at the very least, Xu Jin must clear out all the alien experts of the mid-to-late fifth tier.

Otherwise, after Xu Jin leaves, these people will be the biggest obstacles to completely conquering the fourth-tier Fire Cycle Yunxing Domain.

This process lasted for a full half-day.

By now, the time Xu Jin had spent in the fourth-tier Fire Cycle Yunxing Domain was approaching a day and a half, and the entire progress of the Lou Gong Battle had already passed four days.

There are three days left.

It is time to leave.

But before leaving the Fire Cycle Yunxing Domain, Xu Jin spent a quarter of an hour thoroughly refining and merging the Fire Tiger Heart he had obtained from the Fire Tiger clan.

The rank of Xu Jin's Fire Spirit Heart, which contained a massive amount of Fire-type Heaven and Earth Star Will, was finally raised by Xu Jin to the low fifth tier.

And the Heaven and Earth Authority of the Fire Cycle Yunxing Domain that Xu Jin obtained also reached fifty percent.

Just as Xu Jin expected, fifty percent is a threshold.

The moment Xu Jin's obtained Heaven and Earth Authority of the Fire Cycle Yunxing Domain reached fifty percent, his mind achieved the deepest exchange with this Heaven and Earth of the Fire Cycle Yunxing Domain.

For example, Xu Jin already had a basic count of the massive resources contained in the Fire Cycle Yunxing Domain.

Xu Jin had a rough understanding of various information related to the Fire Cycle Yunxing Domain.

During the exchange with the Heaven and Earth Authority, a massive amount of information flooded into Xu Jin's mind, and suddenly, Xu Jin's expression became pleasantly surprised.

There is a surprise.

And more than one.
