Chapter 281: Who is the Traitor

After careful consideration, Xu Jin decided to go hunting alone.

The reason was simple: before obtaining the Heaven and Earth Authority of the Spirit Martial Star Domain, even if Xu Jin could use invisibility, the effect was very limited.

As long as Xu Jin approached the aliens of the Spirit Martial Star Domain, even if they couldn't see him, these aliens would instinctively become vigilant.

But after obtaining twenty percent of the Heaven and Earth Authority, Xu Jin was already a part of the Spirit Martial Star Domain, as native as native could be.

Combined with invisibility, it had miraculous effects.

Let alone the local aliens not discovering him.

Combined with the Heaven and Earth Authority, Xu Jin could even get within a few meters of a target repelled by the Heaven and Earth Will, and the other party would find it difficult to be alert.

It was simply an assassination artifact.

In this case, if Dong Zhao and the others acted with Xu Jin, they would be dragging him down.

Xu Jin didn't directly tell Dong Zhao about the invisibility, but said that he had obtained the Heaven and Earth Authority of the Spirit Martial Star Domain and could better hide his aura.

Under these circumstances, the reinforcements coming to support Liu Meng, even if they carried Sixth Tier emblems, would find it difficult to exert any effect.

Dong Zhao only considered it briefly before agreeing to Xu Jin's idea.

As for Xu Jin's strength, it had already been proven in the previous several battles.

Honestly speaking, even Dong Zhao himself, if he were to fight Xu Jin directly, would not have much chance of winning.

Because there were less than ten hours left until the end of the Lou Gong Battle and the closing of the Star Gate, and they couldn't arrive at the Star Gate at the very last moment.

What if there was an accident?

After some discussion, the final combat time was set for seven hours, and three hours had to be left to arrive at the temporary Star Gate to ensure a safe withdrawal.

Otherwise, once the temporary Star Gate closed, even if Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao spent a price to let Dai Guanwen reopen the temporary Star Gate, he would still have to send several people in to search for their Star Gate location.

In this Fifth Tier Star Domain, the territory was vast and full of dangers; finding people was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

If luck was slightly worse, heaven knows how long Xu Jin and his group would be trapped here.

Because of this, the time was quite tight.

Xu Jin went out to hunt the reinforcements, while Dong Zhao, Liu Zhou Qingzhu, and the other four headed toward the Fire Ox Wang Cheng to see if they could kill their way into the Fire Ox Wang Cheng within the last seven hours and kill the Blood God Child to eliminate future trouble.

As for the previously obtained Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Elixir, although it could allow Dong Zhao to break through immediately, he could not break through.

If he broke through, he wouldn't be able to go back.

As for Liu Zhou Qingzhu, the important reason she couldn't break through was her soul, so she couldn't break through for the time being either.

"Dean, use this to contact; if there is an emergency or change, I can inform you at any time."

Before leaving, Xu Jin handed the Red Scale Heart Armor to Dong Zhao and the others.

This was a killer artifact for communication within the star domain.

Being able to achieve basic communication, the five could act in unison.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the five separated, and Dean Dong Zhao and the others flew toward the direction of the Fire Ox Golden City.

It was foreseeable that they would encounter multiple interceptions along this journey.

They had not refined the Heaven and Earth Will and were still naturally repelled by this Heaven and Earth Will.

Xu Jin, however, soared straight into the sky and flew toward the target closest to him, only seven hundred-plus miles away.

When approaching a hundred miles, Xu Jin landed back on the ground, hiding his aura and flying low, and when approaching fifty miles, Xu Jin even flew invisibly.

Dozens of breaths later, Xu Jin discovered the target.

Three Fifth Tier.

Two Fifth Tier mid-stage Jin She clansmen, and one Fifth Tier Ninth Layer living world human.

These two Fifth Tier mid-stage Jin She clansmen should have been ordered to receive the aliens who were out, and at this time, they didn't know that the Jin She Wang Cheng had already been breached.

The next instant, Xu Jin, who was invisible, directly activated the Heaven and Earth Authority of the Spirit Martial Star Domain he had just obtained.

The combination of Heaven and Earth Authority and invisibility was simply a perfect match.

Two breaths later, Xu Jin passed by five meters away from the two Fifth Tier mid-stage Jin She aliens, and neither of these two aliens had any sensing.

If it had been before obtaining the Heaven and Earth Authority, let alone five meters, even a hundred meters away, as long as Xu Jin passed by, they would have been alert immediately.

That kind of alertness was like the natural instinct of a wild beast; if a fierce beast approached, even if it was very far away, they would be alert.

As for this Fifth Tier Ninth Layer living world human, he was even more unbearable.

Under the combination of invisibility and Heaven and Earth Authority, Xu Jin had been trailing five meters behind him for two breaths, and he had no perception at all.

The next instant, massive soul fluctuations and purple flame light erupted without warning.

In an instant, this Fifth Tier Ninth Layer living world human sprayed blood from his seven orifices, and then the purple fire light condensed into a line, and without any defense, directly blasted his head into an explosion.

The two Fifth Tier mid-stage Jin She aliens who were receiving him were stunned as they watched Xu Jin, who had appeared abruptly, and the target who had been killed.

They didn't even react for a breath.

A breath later, both were blasted to death!

One kill!

Under the wonderful combination of Heaven and Earth Authority and invisible sneak attack, this Fifth Tier Ninth Layer living world human, let alone using an emblem, didn't even react before dying inexplicably.

Afterward, Xu Jin looked at the emblems he had searched out, his expression stern.

This Fifth Tier Ninth Layer living world human actually carried nine emblems.

One of them was actually a Sixth Tier Superior emblem, and there were two Fifth Tier Superior emblems.

The other six, except for two inferior Star Healing emblems, the others were all Fourth Tier emblems, which were not worth mentioning.

It seemed Xu Jin's strategy was completely correct.

If he had been slightly prepared, as long as he was ruthless and blasted out these three emblems, Xu Jin, Dong Zhao, Liu Zhou Qingzhu, Tang Hui, and Han Qing would all have been hit.

Xu Jin and Dong Zhao might still have had a chance to save their lives, but Liu Zhou Qingzhu, Tang Hui, and Han Qing would definitely have died.

Afterward, Xu Jin's thoughts sank into the Heaven and Earth Authority of the Spirit Martial Star Domain, sensed slightly, and then charged toward another direction.

Five hundred miles away, not far.

But what surprised Xu Jin was that this Fifth Tier Ninth Layer living world human was alone; he should not have been received by the aliens yet.

This gave Xu Jin a lot of room to operate.

A breath later, under the wonderful combination of Heaven and Earth Authority and invisibility, after Xu Jin's soul bombardment, the Moon-Covering Sword rushed out, taking the opportunity to sever his four limbs, and with a slap, shattered his middle Star Palace, capture!

After capture, it was Gentle Dream interrogation.

This time, Xu Jin had the experience of interrogating Liu Meng, so he didn't ask directly, but asked around the corner.

"How many people did you come with in total?"

"Five."

"Who is the leader or commander?"

"Zhang Yucheng."

"Where is Zhang Yucheng's hometown?"

"Seems to be Leshan County of the Great Hong Empire."

"Where does he currently live?"

"Not very clear."

"Where did Zhang Yucheng cultivate?"

"It was..."

Bang!

While interrogating, this captive's head exploded into a watermelon.

Xu Jin looked depressed.

This soul restriction was truly capable; Xu Jin estimated that this captive should have been about to answer "Heavenly Yang Star Palace," which touched on key information, and the soul restriction was triggered immediately.

This soul restriction was truly powerful enough.

The possibility of Xu Jin getting evidence was basically gone.

But it was thoroughly determined that Liu Meng and the so-called Zhang Yucheng group were all sent by the Heavenly Yang Star Palace.

The purpose was only one—to put Xu Jin to death, and it was a priority to kill Xu Jin; as for Dong Zhao and the others, they became incidental.

Xu Jin estimated that the Heavenly Yang Star Palace should have confirmed his identity through some channel, which was why they had such an arrangement.

Five Fifth Tier Ninth Layer experts, each carrying at least one Sixth Tier emblem, and the team leader Zhang Yucheng carried two. Their order was that as long as they discovered Xu Jin, they should blast him with Sixth Tier emblems.

This was truly a ruthless hand.

To be honest, the possibility of success was very high.

If he encountered a living world human with an unknown identity, even if Xu Jin was careful, he couldn't withstand the other party blasting him with Sixth Tier Superior emblems without saying a word.

It was also fortunate that Xu Jin had obtained twenty percent of the Heaven and Earth Authority; otherwise, it would definitely not have been so smooth.

From the captive, Xu Jin obtained another Sixth Tier Superior emblem, a Fifth Tier Superior emblem, two inferior Star Healing emblems, and other Fourth Tier emblems and elixirs, which were not worth mentioning.

However, Xu Jin would have time later; after nurturing them, they would be good for giving to others.

Two quarters of an hour later, Xu Jin killed the third Fifth Tier Ninth Layer expert sent by the Heavenly Yang Star Palace.

He harvested a Sixth Tier Superior emblem, two Fifth Tier Superior emblems, two inferior Star Healing emblems, as well as several bottles of elixirs.

An hour later, Xu Jin once again found another Heavenly Yang Star Palace expert; after a slight comparison, Xu Jin discovered that this person was none other than the team leader sent by the Heavenly Yang Star Palace this time, Zhang Yucheng.

With Zhang Yucheng were two Fifth Tier early-stage aliens, who had also been received.

Xu Jin followed the same pattern.

But it was not as smooth as before.

This Zhang Yucheng was extremely cautious; under Xu Jin's invisible surprise attack, he actually crushed a Fifth Tier Superior defensive emblem on the spot, making Xu Jin spend a bit more effort.

However, under soul attack and Dazzling Purple Heavenly Fire, there were no accidents.

It was just that the original plan was to capture Zhang Yucheng alive, but in the end, he could only choose to kill him quickly in succession.

He couldn't give him the opportunity to use Sixth Tier emblems.

Otherwise, if two Sixth Tier Superior emblems were blasted down, Xu Jin would definitely be finished.

A few breaths later, Xu Jin fished out two Sixth Tier Superior emblems, two Fifth Tier Superior emblems, one mid-tier Star Healing emblem, four inferior Star Healing emblems, and a pile of elixirs and Fourth Tier emblems from Zhang Yucheng's corpse.

The harvest was extremely great.

Those two Sixth Tier Superior emblems and Fifth Tier Superior emblems didn't need to be mentioned.

Mid-tier Star Healing was actually a Fourth Tier Superior Star Healing emblem.

But because it was precious, most people called it mid-tier Star Healing.

At the auction, two mid-tier Star Healing emblems could be exchanged for a Sixth Tier mid-to-low grade emblem.

Without it, mid-tier Star Healing could save a life at a critical moment.

The following things had no suspense.

In the direction a thousand miles away from the Fire Ox Wang Cheng, Xu Jin found the fifth Fifth Tier Ninth Layer expert from the Heavenly Yang Star Palace; this one had been found by the Fire Ox clan experts.

This extremely low efficiency in providing support led Xu Jin to conclude that the Heaven and Earth Star Will obtained by the Fire Bull King definitely did not exceed twenty percent.

As for the last Fifth Tier Ninth Layer expert sent by the Heavenly Yang Star Palace, without any suspense, he was killed by Xu Jin.

Up to this point, the manpower sent by the Heavenly Yang Star Palace to kill Xu Jin, counting Liu Meng, totaled six people, all of whom were killed.

Previously, when Xu Jin first obtained the news from Liu Meng, he was quite angry.

The Heavenly Yang Star Palace was truly not a thing.

Playing cheating in the Lou Gong Battle, and also sending so many experts to kill him.

But at this moment, Xu Jin was happy.

He even hoped that the Heavenly Yang Star Palace would send another wave in.

In that case, Xu Jin could get fat twice.

After this wave of damage-free killing, Xu Jin harvested a total of eight Sixth Tier emblems!

What kind of concept was this?

This represented the annual Sixth Tier emblem production of Dean Kou Jing, and even a bit more.

There were also twelve Fifth Tier Superior emblems, one mid-tier Star Healing emblem, twelve inferior Star Healing emblems, and the total value of other elixirs and Fourth Tier emblems was also not low, it was just that Xu Jin didn't look at them now.

Calculating this way, Xu Jin's wave of killing into the Fifth Tier Spirit Martial Star Domain, excluding the consumed emblems, was still profitable.

And it was a big profit.

Of course, that was also after the nurturing was completed.

Sure enough: killing and arson bring golden belts!

It was just that there was one point Xu Jin had always been unable to figure out: this Fifth Tier Spirit Martial Star Domain was personally selected by the Grand Master; let alone the specific star domain, even the star domain name was confidential.

However, the Heavenly Yang Star Palace not only knew the star domain name, but also sent so many experts into the Spirit Martial Star Domain to encircle and annihilate Dong Zhao and the others.

More importantly, Xu Jin had only entered the Fifth Tier Spirit Martial Star Domain for half a day.

But according to the information obtained from the interrogation, Zhang Yucheng and the others from the Heavenly Yang Star Palace were basically sent to the Spirit Martial Star Domain to kill Xu Jin almost immediately after Xu Jin stepped into the Spirit Martial Star Domain.

This information efficiency was too high.

Who was the traitor?

At that time node, the only three people who knew Xu Jin had entered the Fifth Tier Spirit Martial Star Domain were Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao, Chief Instructor Yu Da, and at most one Left Libationer Meng Yanhui.

But Yu Da and Meng Yanhui could be trusted by the Grand Master, so they shouldn't be traitors.

Then, how was the news of Xu Jin stepping into the Fifth Tier Spirit Martial Star Domain known by the Heavenly Yang Star Palace in the first place?

Could it be that the Heavenly Yang Star Palace had placed tracking means on him?

That shouldn't be.

Xu Jin hadn't met the Heavenly Yang Star Palace experts, and he had the Bright Record Star...

Suddenly, Xu Jin's expression paused.

Not right!

There was one more person!

The Fourth Young Master of the Sumeru Palace, Dai Guanwen!

The Fourth Young Master of the Sumeru Palace, Dai Guanwen, knew Xu Jin's real-time information completely.

If there really was information sold about Xu Jin, then this Fourth Young Master of the Sumeru Palace was extremely likely.

And only he could accurately know which one the Fifth Tier Star Domain was.

Moreover, he also had the conditions, because his Star-Plucking Token was not restricted!

In other words, this Dai Fourth Young Master had the conditions to pass information out!

Xu Jin's expression instantly turned gloomy!

If it really was this Dai Guanwen, then...

After returning, Xu Jin would have to verify it properly.

If it was true, then this Dai Guanwen was the real culprit who caused the death of Vice Dean Shen Wei.

And even almost caused Xu Jin's death.

Then he would have to settle the account properly.

The next instant, Xu Jin's thoughts sank into the Heaven and Earth Authority again, sensing the aura.

In the direction of the Fire Ox Wang Cheng, there were still six auras.

It seemed the Blood God Sect members were all still in the Fire Ox Wang Cheng.

Suddenly, Xu Jin realized something was wrong.

Six?

According to the previous information, the Blood God Child, two Blood God Messengers, and four Blood-Robed Vajras.

There should be seven.

How was there one less?

Xu Jin carefully recalled, and suddenly remembered that before sensing the invaders' auras, excluding the four people beside him, there were eleven.

So the auras in the Fire Ox Wang Cheng had always been six.

One person from the Blood God Sect was missing!

If they had left, it didn't matter.

But if the Blood God Child had obtained the Heaven and Earth Authority and allowed his aura to merge into this Heaven and Earth, then Xu Jin would have to treat it carefully!

Moreover, it was possible for the Blood God Child to obtain Heaven and Earth Star Will.

Because he was within the Fire Ox clan, on par with the Fire Ox King!

Noble as a Divine Teacher!

After thinking for a few breaths, Xu Jin soared into the sky and rushed toward the direction of Dong Zhao and the others, converging with Dong Zhao and the others to see if they could kill their way into the Fire Ox Wang Cheng in the last few hours of the Lou Gong Battle and kill this Blood God Child.
