Chapter 302: Goal: Execute the Tyrant

"Grand Master, spare my life!"

"Grand Master, it was His Majesty who made me..."

Chu Zheng only managed to say half a sentence of begging before his head was directly crushed by Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao, and the Nascent Spirit that had already condensed into a rudimentary form was directly incinerated by a wisp of red flame in Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao's palm, leaving nothing behind!

Although he hadn't interrogated anything, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao knew everything.

Cheng Yuexiao, his face livid, was silent for a breath before saying softly, "Clear the field."

Xu Jin understood the Grand Master's meaning: those who participated in this matter and were present were to be left with none.

The Grand Master just stood where he was, flicking his fingers lightly; with every flick, a head was blasted apart.

Xu Jin did the same.

In less than ten short breaths, the hundreds of Fourth Tier and the remaining dozen or so Fifth Tier experts were all wiped out.

Those who realized what was happening wanted to flee, but there was no possibility of that.

"Save the people!"

At the same time, the Grand Master issued another order to Peng Lao, who was guarding the National Dao Academy.

The Grand Master waved his large sleeve, and raging flames began to burn at the edge of the Ten Thousand Spirits Divine Blood Formation.

The next instant, Xu Jin and the Grand Master rushed into the pile of unconscious commoners, beginning to use their star power to carefully lift up one unconscious commoner after another, then placing them neatly aside.

The more they saved, the uglier the expressions of Xu Jin and Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao became.

The casualties were too tragic.

These unconscious commoners had been piled up randomly.

Those who were unlucky were either crushed to death, died from broken necks, or died from suffocation.

The problem of unconsciousness was not a big one; they were just poisoned.

Both of them had vigorous star power, especially the Grand Master, who could lift up thousands of commoners with a wave of his hand and place them aside.

In a few dozen breaths, the more than one hundred thousand unconscious commoners were laid out across the entire valley like corpses.

But in the process of rescuing them, the two discovered that the number of commoners who had died accidentally reached several thousand.

The Grand Master didn't speak, but Xu Jin's chest felt like it was burning with a raging flame.

When the last commoner was saved, Xu Jin turned abruptly to look at Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao.

"Grand Master, does this dog emperor deserve to die?"

"He deserves to die!"

"Then what are we waiting for! Grand Master, what are we waiting for? Kill this dog emperor and enthrone a new monarch!" Xu Jin said, his eyes spitting fire.

Hearing this, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao let out a long sigh.

Xu Jin, however, was anxious. "Grand Master, if we don't kill this dog emperor, are we going to keep him for the New Year? Grand Master, if you are afraid of bearing this infamy, let me do it!

You cover for me, and I will sneak into the palace and assassinate this dog emperor!"

Hearing this, the Grand Master let out another long sigh.

This made Xu Jin anxious. "Grand Master, I understand your feelings, but I feel like you are a bit foolishly loyal?"

"Foolishly loyal?"

Cheng Yuexiao gave a bitter smile. "Do I look like a foolishly loyal person? If I were foolishly loyal, I wouldn't have killed this Chu Zheng."

"Then you..."

"Xu Jin, do you really think the royal family can be slaughtered by you or me? Or do you think how the Chen Guo royal family has been passed down for thousands of years?" Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao asked.

"Grand Master, if there is any trouble, you might as well speak directly!"

The next instant, Cheng Yuexiao sent the Nine-Sheng Bianzhong directly in front of Xu Jin. "Do you know one of the conditions for inheriting and refining the National Dao Artifact, the Nine-Sheng Bianzhong?"

Xu Jin was puzzled.

"This Nine-Sheng Bianzhong is a National Dao Artifact personally refined by the founding emperor of Chen Guo. The first restriction of the National Dao Artifact is that the refiner cannot take action against the holder of the National Jade Seal, and cannot take action against the emperor of Chen Guo.

When I refined this National Dao Artifact, this restriction was also refined into my body."

Looking at Xu Jin, Cheng Yuexiao added, "I know what you want to say; a National Dao Artifact, just discard it! But it cannot be discarded.

The National Jade Seal and the National Dao Artifact are cause and effect for each other. If I were to actively abandon this Nine-Sheng Bianzhong without the cooperation of the National Jade Seal, this bell would destroy my Nascent Soul in the first instance!

That founding emperor of Chen Guo fundamentally eliminated the possibility of the Chen Guo Grand Master causing chaos!"

Speaking of this, anger appeared on Cheng Yuexiao's face. "As you said, such a cruel emperor, if possible, why would I keep him?"

Xu Jin's brow was locked tight. "So, this Nine-Sheng Bianzhong, although it is a National Dao Artifact, also controls you, the Grand Master?"

"Controls?"

Cheng Yuexiao shook his head. "That's not quite it; it just limits the possibility of the owner causing chaos."

"Grand Master, if that's the case, you cannot take action, but I can! Take me into the Imperial Palace, and I will assassinate this dog emperor!"

Looking at the tens of thousands of corpses of the Yangjiang Commandery commoners, Xu Jin's desire to kill Emperor Qian'an was fiercer than ever before!

"You have a bright future; there is no need to be buried with this tyrant!"

"Buried with him?"

"Inside the Imperial Palace, there is an Eighth Tier attendant, and inside the Imperial Palace, I cannot take action! Besides, even if you sneak into the Imperial Palace in stealth, you cannot kill Emperor Qian'an.

For a monarch of a country, the protective treasures are extremely heavy.

Let alone you, even a Seventh Tier expert would find it difficult to succeed in an assassination." Cheng Yuexiao said.

"Then..."

Xu Jin looked at the corpses all over the ground, his face full of hatred. "Is it just going to be left like this?"

"How could that be!"

Cheng Yuexiao shook his head. "This tyrant will inevitably pay the price for this matter, but in the short term, because of the restriction of the Nine-Sheng Bianzhong, I cannot punish him, but I can weaken his authority, and in the future, as long as there is a suitable opportunity, I will force him to abdicate!

However, if we want to execute this tyrant, we have to wait for future opportunities!"

"Grand Master, if there is an opportunity, I will definitely cut off this tyrant's head in the future and bring it here to let him apologize to the tens of thousands of innocent commoners of Yangjiang Commandery!" Xu Jin said.

Actually, Xu Jin had even more ruthless thoughts in his heart.

If there is a chance, he will not only execute this foolish monarch, but also sever his bloodline, and even destroy his imperial inheritance!

"This matter can only be left for the future; for now, let's talk about you! Your current situation has become extremely dangerous!" Cheng Yuexiao said.

"Me?" Xu Jin hadn't thought about it yet.

"Before I killed Chu Zheng, this guy should have already reported the situation here to the tyrant!

That is to say, this tyrant already knows that I have arrived here, and at the same time, he knows that you ruined his good deeds and killed the fourth son, Prince Xin, who is his beloved son!"

While rescuing people just now, Cheng Yuexiao had already discovered the corpse of the fourth son, Prince Xin.

"Just as I cannot take action against this tyrant, this tyrant cannot do anything to me, but you are in danger!

The previously scheduled heart-refining in the foreign domain is probably not safe anymore.

Including your cultivation in the National Dao Academy, that won't work either." Cheng Yuexiao said.

Seeing Xu Jin frown, Cheng Yuexiao added, "You don't think that all of Chen Guo is decided by me, do you?

The influence of the Chen Guo royal family is still very, very high.

It was only because of the extremely poor performance of this tyrant twenty years ago that the imperial power slipped slightly, but the influence is still something you cannot imagine.

So to speak, as long as this tyrant gives an order, whether you are in the National Dao Academy or in a foreign star domain, there will eventually be people who will try every possible way to deal with you to please this tyrant.

They might not be able to kill you, but they can leak your whereabouts.

They will use every possible means!

The influence of imperial power is much stronger than you imagine! Do you understand?

For example, the domain masters stationed in various star domains of Chen Guo, including the marshals of the Chen Guo Star River Battlefield, the three princes and seven marquises—the objects of their loyalty are still the Emperor of Chen Guo, not the National Dao Academy!

I have at most the power of restraint, and some are even at the same level as me, so I cannot even restrain them!

It's just that in the current world, the influence of the Chen Guo National Dao Academy is greater.

Understand?"

Xu Jin gave a bitter smile.

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao had said so much and explained so much, actually just to make Xu Jin feel a bit more comfortable.

He was also telling him that his beheading of the fourth son, Prince Xin, had brought a great disaster upon himself.

There was not a shred of blame, just worry for Xu Jin!

"Then what is the Grand Master's meaning?"

"I still say the same thing: you need time to grow! As long as you grow up smoothly, this tyrant will be nothing! All dangers will be solved!

And what you need most is time!

Therefore, I suggest you immediately execute the first plan I set earlier: Jin Chan Tuo Qiao (Cicada shedding its skin)!"

"Jin Chan Tuo Qiao? Is there enough time? Will anyone believe it?" Xu Jin asked doubtfully.

"As long as you disappear, as long as you are dead in name, it doesn't matter if they believe it or not, as long as it can buy you time!

Of course, if possible, we should still make it look realistic." Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao said.

Suddenly, Xu Jin's heart tightened. "Grand Master, if that's the case, then my sister and my father, wouldn't they be in danger?"

"Indeed!"

Cheng Yuexiao nodded heavily. "If it were any other situation, as long as your father and sister entered the National Dao Academy, they would be absolutely safe!

But now, the one targeting them is this tyrant, and I cannot protect your sister and your father every moment!

Therefore, they also need to be arranged!

Don't worry, I will arrange them well.

And as long as you disappear, they are just secondary; it's easy to arrange."

Hearing this, Xu Jin looked toward the direction of the imperial capital, Dachen Wan Yi, and said hatefully, "Then let this tyrant live a few more days!"

While speaking, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao handed Xu Jin a clone talisman. "Xu Jin, I have already considered it. In the south of Danzhou, there happens to be a Sixth Tier star domain Star Gate that has not yet been sealed; you go there.

This is a clone talisman. When the time comes, you drip a drop of your essence blood, and you can perfectly transform into your appearance. When you arrive at the Star Gate of that Sixth Tier star domain, you can pretend to suddenly encounter a Sixth Tier expert and then unfortunately die tragically; you can directly use stealth to escape."

After speaking, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao explained, "Doing this cannot deceive this tyrant, but it can deceive the two great star palaces, and you can cultivate and improve your cultivation in peace.

As long as your cultivation breaks through to the Sixth Tier, even if it's the Fifth Tier, the situation will improve greatly!"

While speaking, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao handed Xu Jin more than a dozen jade tablets. "These were prepared for you earlier when preparing for the Jin Chan Tuo Qiao, but because you didn't choose it, I didn't give them to you.

I didn't expect you to use them now!

After the successful implementation, after you leave, quickly return to your hometown, see your father, give instructions, and then act under the identity of Qi Qi Tian Sheng.

Time is tight; start acting now!"

Suddenly, Cheng Yuexiao remembered the two people from the Tianyang Star Palace who had come to assassinate Xu Jin; the distance shouldn't be too far now, so he had an idea.

"When you teleport over in a moment, make a big scene and reveal your identity more thoroughly." Cheng Yuexiao reminded.

"Yes!"

The next instant, Xu Jin took a deep breath and flew toward the Yangjiang Commandery branch of the Star-Plucking Tower first.

On the way, he ran into two teams of Danxia Guards, who should have been the manpower sent by the Grand Master to handle the aftermath in Yangjiang Commandery.

Cheng Yuexiao, who followed, had an even gloomier expression!

He still had to clean up the mess for this tyrant!

This was a family scandal, and even more so a national scandal.

So it still had to be handled low-key.

If it were made public, the other three families might join forces again because of the brutal actions of the Chen Guo Emperor.

At that time, they would have a legitimate reason.

And once the matter was announced, Chen Guo would lose the hearts of the people!

At that time, it would be the commoners of Chen Guo who would suffer!

Cheng Yuexiao flew all the way, the bitterness in his heart impossible to describe!

He never expected that after Emperor Qian'an was removed from the Star River Marshal's Mansion, he would actually become like this...

Xu Jin's mood was also incomparably complicated.

This day and night were more fantastical than all his previous experiences.

And his life's destiny had also completed a major turn!

Xu Jin had originally wanted to refine his heart in a foreign domain, to experience the customs and feelings of a foreign land, eat delicious food, see foreign beauties, and then crazily improve his cultivation, and then repay Chen Guo, repay the Chen Guo National Dao Academy.

Now, everything had changed!

He had to hide his name!

And his goal for hard cultivation had changed!

In fact, since Xu Jin came to the current world, his goal had always been very simple.

At first, he wanted to cultivate, then he wanted to become a powerful cultivator, wanting to experience the scenery of stepping on the star clouds.

Later, he wanted to become stronger and possess more powerful strength.

But now, Xu Jin had a clear goal: hard cultivation, execute the tyrant!

In the shortest possible time, improve his cultivation, and then execute this tyrant, Emperor Qian'an; if he didn't execute this tyrant, Xu Jin's thoughts would not be clear, and this breath would not be smooth!

Just as he set this goal, Xu Jin stepped into the Yangjiang Commandery branch of the Star-Plucking Tower and teleported to the Danzhou branch of the Star-Plucking Tower.

When he appeared at the Danzhou branch of the Star-Plucking Tower, Xu Jin instantly revealed his waist tag. "National Dao Academy True Transmission Leader Xu Jin, ordered to support Danzhou, where is the guide officer!" Xu Jin's roar resounded throughout the entire Danzhou Star-Plucking Tower branch square, and in an instant, he became the focus of everyone.

There were those who knew Xu Jin, and those who didn't, but at this moment, everyone knew.

The four words "True Transmission Leader" were the focus in themselves.

In an instant, Xu Jin's name spread throughout Danzhou.

A few breaths later, the guide officer rushed over, asked for the direction Xu Jin was to support, and pointed out the location of the Sixth Tier star domain Star Gate for Xu Jin.

Subsequently, Xu Jin turned into star-light and quickly stepped on the stars toward the Sixth Tier star domain Star Gate.

A few breaths later, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao, who had changed into another appearance, also appeared outside the Danzhou Star-Plucking Tower branch, and a few breaths later, he also swept toward the direction of the Sixth Tier star domain Star Gate, but his Star-Plucking Token flickered non-stop.

He didn't know if this grand plan he had improvised could succeed; he could only take it one step at a time.

【Xu Jin, wait for my order, fight first, and when my order arrives, execute the Jin Chan Tuo Qiao plan.】

【Understood.】

Five hundred miles north of Guan County, Yangjiang Commandery, the Seventh Elder of the Tianyang Star Palace, Xia Zhong, and Hu Jinshan, who had been flying fast for nearly two hours, saw their Star-Plucking Tokens flicker simultaneously.

【Elder Xia, latest intelligence, Xu Jin has redeployed to support the Sixth Tier Star Gate in the south of Danzhou; there should be Sixth Tier or even Seventh Tier experts from Chen Guo there, pay attention to safety, and act according to the situation.】

The Sixth Elder of the Tianyang Star Palace, Xia Zhong, furrowed his brow. 【Is the intelligence accurate? Also, where is Cheng Yuexiao? Don't get fished by Cheng Yuexiao?】

【Cheng Yuexiao's whereabouts are unclear, but he should still be commanding on-site at the Chen Guo National Dao Academy! Using Xu Jin as bait, would you be willing if it were you?

Elder Xia, the opportunity is rare!

Of course, pay attention to safety.】

This was the star-light transmission from the First Elder, Wang Kan.

The next instant, Xia Zhong and Hu Jinshan turned around immediately.

At the same moment, the Seventh Elder of the Cangming Star Palace, Huang Kejia, also received similar intelligence.
