Chapter 424: Great Dao Oath and Gathering

June 10th, Seven Kills Secret Realm.

The Luoshui Marquis of Chen Guo, Song Shoujie, was burning with anxiety.

There were only four hours left before the Seven Kills Palace appeared, but he hadn't even found the shadow of a Seven Kills Token.

Not only him, but the Chen Guo combat elites who had entered with him and survived to the fifth stage—of those he could contact, not a single one had discovered the shadow of a Seven Kills Token.

He had already made up his mind that if he still couldn't find a Seven Kills Token in three hours,

he would go and guard the gate of the Seven Kills Palace when it appeared.

He would snatch a token even if he had to.

With his current Seventh Tier mid-stage cultivation, whether it was the inheritance of the Seven Kills True Person or helping the Grand Master snatch the True Meaning of the Divine Dao, it was very important.

The former had the possibility of letting him advance to the Eighth Tier in the future, or even break through to the Ninth Tier, while the latter had the possibility of letting him break through to the Eighth Tier.

But no matter which one, the Seven Kills Token was the most critical.

Without a Seven Kills Token, everything was empty.

Suddenly, Song Shoujie's mind moved slightly; a Mother-Child Heart Demon Emblem in his Sumeru space suddenly began to flash with light.

Song Shoujie hurriedly took it out, his expression somewhat surprised.

This was a Mother-Child Heart Demon Emblem dedicated to contacting the Grand Master; did the Grand Master have instructions?

Taking out the Mother-Child Heart Demon Emblem, Song Shoujie received a message, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

A few breaths later, this Luoshui Marquis soared into the sky and rushed toward a certain direction.

A quarter of an hour later, Dong Zhao looked at the starlight rushing from afar and laughed, "They're here!"

Because the situation was urgent when entering the Seven Kills Secret Realm, before departing, the Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao had given the Mother-Child Heart Demon Emblem he used for emergency contact with Luoshui Hou Song Shoujie to Dong Zhao, to facilitate emergency contact.

"University Official Dong."

"Greetings, Marquis."

After the two exchanged greetings, Dong Zhao introduced Xu Jin (Qi Qi Tian Sheng) and Ning Yuchan to Luoshui Hou Song Shoujie.

Regarding Xu Jin and Ning Yuchan, the Luoshui Marquis only bowed ceremoniously and didn't pay too much attention.

To him, regardless of strength or status, he was looking down on these two.

"University Official Dong, is what you said before true?" Song Shoujie asked.

"Marquis, it is naturally true, but it must be told to you by him; he is the specific planner and executor." Dong Zhao looked at Xu Jin.

Xu Jin stepped forward and directly got to the point, "Marquis, what do you think of the Eighth Tier Ju Xuan?"

"The Eighth Tier expert of the Golden Pillar alien race, Ju Xuan, is not someone I can defeat." Song Shoujie said.

"Marquis, if Ju Xuan guards the gate of the Seven Kills Palace, can you break into the Seven Kills Palace?" Xu Jin asked.

"It's a bit difficult, but if I obtain a Seven Kills Token, deliberately create a battle opportunity, and take a hard hit, I still have a chance to break through Ju Xuan's blockade and enter the Seven Kills Palace." Song Shoujie said.

"Marquis, what if Ju Xuan also hasn't obtained a Seven Kills Token?" Xu Jin asked.

"This..."

Song Shoujie was shocked, "That's not very likely, right? Ju Xuan has four Seventh Tier experts and seven Sixth Tier experts under his command; obtaining a Seven Kills Token should be easy."

"Marquis, please answer my question."

Song Shoujie looked at Xu Jin and pondered, "If Ju Xuan hasn't obtained a Seven Kills Token, he will inevitably fight for his life, and once he makes a move, it will be with full force! In this situation, after I hold a Seven Kills Token, wanting to break into the Seven Kills Palace, the difficulty will be extremely great. The possibility of failure will be greater! If his four Seventh Tier clansmen join the battle, the possibility of me rushing into the Seven Kills Palace will be zero!"

"Marquis, look at what this is?"

Xu Jin flipped his palm, and Luoshui Hou Song Shoujie's pupils shrank abruptly.

Seven Kills Token!

There were eight of them!

In an instant, he understood.

No wonder he couldn't find a single one; it turned out this kid in front of him had gotten eight.

This made Luoshui Hou Song Shoujie re-examine Xu Jin; being able to get eight Seven Kills Tokens alone, even if there were others cooperating, was worthy of his attention.

"You took eight, and two are missing; the Golden Pillar alien race will likely have one." Song Shoujie judged.

"Marquis, I also have one." Dong Zhao also revealed one.

"Marquis, I have already investigated clearly that Hou Ziang of the Wood Spirit Palace has also obtained a Seven Kills Token." Xu Jin added.

Hearing this, Song Shoujie's breathing became rapid, "So, all ten Seven Kills Tokens have been accounted for. And the Golden Pillar alien race hasn't obtained a single one? Then what do you intend to do?"

Song Shoujie already understood that Dong Zhao had called him over and revealed these things, and there must be one Seven Kills Token for him, but it definitely wasn't as simple as just giving him one Seven Kills Token.

"Marquis, my plan is like this..."

Xu Jin handed a Seven Kills Token directly to Song Shoujie, and at the same time, laid out his plan.

After a dozen breaths, Song Shoujie finished listening to Xu Jin's plan and let out a long breath, "The younger generation is to be feared!"

"Actually, I have thought about it: let all the Seventh Tier experts of humanity gather together, first slay the Golden Pillar alien race clean, and then come to divide the Seven Kills Secret Realm, but it can't be done; there is absolutely no opportunity to do it. Your move, however, gives all parties a basis for cooperation." Song Shoujie said.

Song Shoujie's expression became serious, "However, the Sixth Tier of the Golden Pillar alien race aside, there is one Eighth Tier expert and four Seventh Tier experts; unless all eleven Seventh Tier experts who entered the current age of humanity join the battle and do their best, it is possible to defeat the Golden Pillar alien race, and in this, there are various possibilities of casualties. However, there are only six Seven Kills Tokens left, which I fear won't work."

"Five."

Xu Jin emphasized.

He had eight Seven Kills Tokens in his hand, gave one to Song Shoujie, one for himself, one for Ning Yuchan, and there were five left.

"That's even fewer; it's hard to make everyone join the battle with all their might." Song Shoujie said.

The next instant, just as Xu Jin was about to speak, Ning Yuchan suddenly spoke up, "I don't want the Seven Kills Token."

Xu Jin was stunned.

"A person's energy is limited, and time is even more limited; my comprehension is just there, and the direction I have already chosen hasn't been comprehended through yet! This Seven Kills inheritance, I won't go to compete for it. When we join the battle later, I will strive for a practical training opportunity, and then leave." Ning Yuchan said this with a very firm gaze.

Xu Jin wanted to persuade her, but seeing Ning Yuchan's firm gaze, he stopped.

Song Shoujie and Dong Zhao, who understood, looked at Ning Yuchan with full admiration.

It felt a bit like being clear-headed in the human world.

Xu Jin understood that being extreme in a certain direction was Ning Yuchan's Dao, and it was also Ning Yuchan's persistence all along.

Under Xu Jin's persuasion and suggestion, cultivating Earth-element Star Arts was already listening to advice and making up for her shortcomings.

Having such a decision at this time was also easy to understand.

Moreover, competing for the inheritance with a group of Seventh Tier experts was very slim, so it was better to give up directly.

Seeing this, Xu Jin didn't force it.

"In that case, that's six."

"Six is not enough either! Eleven Seventh Tier experts, and nine are missing. Doing it like this, I fear it will lead to even greater contradictions. Especially since the enemy is also very strong." Song Shoujie said.

"Marquis, there are two things you need to know! First, the four Seventh Tier experts and seven Sixth Tier experts of the Golden Pillar alien race have all been eliminated from the Seven Kills Secret Realm; the Golden Pillar alien race is left with only Ju Xuan as a lone wolf!" Xu Jin said.

As soon as this was said, Song Shoujie was greatly shocked and looked at Dong Zhao with some suspicion, "Is this true?"

Obviously, he still didn't quite believe Xu Jin's statement.

"True!" Dong Zhao gave an affirmative answer, "Marquis, this is the result of the three of us over the past two days."

This was something Dong Zhao and Xu Jin had already discussed before.

It could also be considered as diverting some attention for Xu Jin.

Otherwise, it might lead to unnecessary trouble.

Song Shoujie was still very surprised.

Dong Zhao had the strength to fight a Seventh Tier early-stage expert, but that only referred to ordinary Seventh Tier experts.

The Golden Pillar aliens who came here to participate in the battle were the elites of the elites.

In that case, the combat power of these other two people was extraordinary.

"Marquis, besides Ju Xuan already being a lone wolf, Marquis also needs to start from another point: the True Meaning of the Divine Dao! The four parties—Heavenly Yang Star Palace, Cangming Star Palace, Zhen'e Star Palace, and Xumi Palace—haven't obtained a Seven Kills Token! Not obtaining the inheritance of the Seven Kills True Person is a small matter, but not obtaining the True Meaning of the Divine Dao is a big matter! Therefore, as long as your attitude is strong enough, relying on the Seven Kills Tokens in your hand, it is possible to make them cooperate." Xu Jin said.

Hearing this, Song Shoujie nodded, "In this situation, it is indeed possible! However, to accomplish this, we must continue to bring in helpers; otherwise, according to the personalities of that group of people, the first thing they might think of is not to take the opportunity to unite and besiege Ju Xuan. It is highly likely that they will first besiege me and the others to snatch the Seven Kills Tokens in my hand! Xu Jin going is even worse!"

Regardless of Xu Jin's battle record, Xu Jin's current status, reputation, and cultivation could not communicate on equal terms with those Seventh Tier experts.

On the contrary, handing this matter to Song Shoujie to handle, just by pulling over the people from the Zhen'e Star Palace, this matter would be half done.

Song Shoujie had a secret contact method with the barbarian Seventh Tier expert Abatai, and in less than two quarters of an hour, he met Abatai and his party head-on.

Rumor has it that barbarians are stupid and easy to deceive, but that's just a rumor.

Getting along with barbarians is about being sincere!

Song Shoujie gave the two Seventh Tier experts of the Zhen'e Star Palace, Abatai and Yuxi, one Seven Kills Token each, and also explained the plan.

These two immediately agreed.

They were also searching hard for Seven Kills Tokens; seeing that the Seven Kills Palace was about to appear, but there was no shadow of a Seven Kills Token!

At this time, Song Shoujie came to find them, so they were naturally overjoyed.

Only when Song Shoujie requested them to use their Divine Soul to trigger the Zhai Xing Lou and make a Great Dao Oath did they hesitate.

Above the Sixth Tier, the Great Dao Oath triggered by the Zhai Xing Lou cannot be made casually.

After this Great Dao Oath is made, it won't kill you if you break it.

But if you break it, it will highly likely cut off your own path.

The Seventh Tier experts present were all dragons among men, genius elites of major Star Palaces, future Eighth Tier seed players, each ambitious to break through to the Eighth Tier, or even break through to the Ninth Tier.

Therefore, when making the Great Dao Oath, they were very cautious.

However, the Great Dao Oath Song Shoujie requested was only for them to join forces to deal with the Eighth Tier expert of the Golden Pillar alien race, Ju Xuan, on the premise that the plan was successful.

It wasn't complicated.

And there were no traps.

Right in front of Song Shoujie, they made the Great Dao Oath.

In an instant, this team grew stronger.

The number of Seventh Tier experts increased to three.

The group set off again, and before long, they found the Seventh Tier expert of the Cangming Star Palace, Ye Feng.

The gold content of Dong Zhao's suggestion to let Song Shoujie be the specific executor was still rapidly improving.

If it were someone else, they wouldn't be able to find the experts of the Cangming Star Palace in such a short time.

And Song Shoujie's status was there, naturally able to obtain their trust.

But when they found Ye Feng, they received bad news.

Another Seventh Tier expert of the Cangming Star Palace had bad luck, was discovered and caught up to by the Eighth Tier Ju Xuan, and was slain.

And it was after guarding the corpse, killing him twice in a row.

After using up both chances to substitute death, he left the Seven Kills Secret Realm directly.

At this time, Song Shoujie sent out a Seven Kills Token, and Ye Feng was overjoyed.

On the spot, he also joined and used his Primordial Spirit to trigger the Zhai Xing Lou, making a Great Dao Oath.

Subsequently, Song Shoujie found Watching Zhang Lin of the Heavenly Yang Star Palace.

Although because of Emperor Qian'an's death, Chen Guo and the Heavenly Yang Star Palace were irreconcilable on the official level, the private friendship still remained.

Song Shoujie also had a friendship with Watching Zhang Lin.

It could be seen that Song Shoujie's connections were extensive!

After finding Watching Zhang Lin, he received another piece of bad news.

Another Seventh Tier expert of the Heavenly Yang Star Palace had also been eliminated by the Eighth Tier Ju Xuan.

It was an unfortunate encounter, and then he was eliminated after being guarded by Ju Xuan and killed continuously!

Finding the people from Xumi Palace took a bit of effort; Song Shoujie was not familiar with the people from Xumi Palace, but Watching Zhang Lin of the Heavenly Yang Star Palace was.

But after finding them, there was a bit of a twist.

The Seventh Tier expert of Xumi Palace, Qiao Shen, wanted two Seven Kills Tokens; they had two Seventh Tier experts!

The strategy Song Shoujie had before was reflected here, very strong.

They already had five Seventh Tier experts!

If Xumi Palace didn't want it, then forget it.

Seven Kills Tokens, he wasn't afraid that no one would want them!

In the end, the Seventh Tier elite of Xumi Palace, Qiao Shen, yielded, received a Seven Kills Token, but both Seventh Tier experts triggered the Zhai Xing Lou and made a Great Dao Oath.

The Wood Spirit Palace side was quite interesting.

The Seventh Tier expert of the Wood Spirit Palace, Hou Ziang, had already obtained a Seven Kills Token and was unwilling to participate, but the other Seventh Tier expert, Du Wei, didn't have a Seven Kills Token and was extremely anxious.

In this situation, the space for operation was too large.

Luoshui Hou Song Shoujie, who held a high position and was also a military commander, directly put forward the conditions: to get a Seven Kills Token, both Seventh Tier experts of the Wood Spirit Palace must join the battle and must make a Great Dao Oath.

This requirement almost caused the two fellow disciples, Du Wei and Hou Ziang, to turn against each other.

In the end, Du Wei still used the great cause to suppress Hou Ziang.

With one more Seven Kills Token, the chance of obtaining the True Meaning of the Divine Dao would increase by one point!

The nine Seventh Tier experts of the current age of humanity were gathered!

As they began to discuss specific tactics, the time before the Seven Kills Palace appeared was less than an hour.

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 425 =====

Although Da Chen and the Heavenly Yang Star Palace were at irreconcilable odds officially due to the death of Emperor Qian'an, their private friendship remained.

Song Shoujie and Watching Zhang Lin also had a friendship.

From this, one can see the breadth of Song Shoujie's connections!

After finding Watching Zhang Lin, they received another piece of bad news.

Another seventh-tier expert from the Heavenly Yang Star Palace had also been eliminated by the eighth-tier Ju Xuan.

They had an unfortunate encounter, and then were eliminated after Ju Xuan camped their bodies!

Finding manpower from the Sumeru Palace took a bit of effort; Song Shoujie was not familiar with the people from the Sumeru Palace, but Watching Zhang Lin of the Heavenly Yang Star Palace was.

However, after finding them, there was a slight complication.

Qiao Shen of the Sumeru Palace wanted two Seven Kill Tokens; they had two seventh-tier experts!

Song Shoujie's strategy from before was reflected here; it was very tough.

They already had five seventh-tier experts!

If the Sumeru Palace didn't want them, then so be it.

There was no fear of not finding anyone who wanted Seven Kill Tokens!

In the end, the seventh-tier elite Qiao Shen of the Sumeru Palace yielded and received one Seven Kill Token, but both seventh-tier powerhouses invoked their Star Towers and swore Great Dao oaths.

The situation on the Wood Spirit Palace side was quite interesting.

The seventh-tier Hou Ziang of the Wood Spirit Palace had already obtained one Seven Kill Token and was unwilling to participate, but the other seventh-tier expert, Du Wei, did not have a Seven Kill Token and was extremely anxious.

Under these circumstances, the room for maneuver was vast.

Song Shoujie, the Marquis of Luoshui, held a high position and was a commander of an army; he directly proposed conditions: to get the Seven Kill Token, both seventh-tier experts of the Wood Spirit Palace had to participate in the battle and both had to swear Great Dao oaths.

This demand almost caused the two senior and junior brothers, Du Wei and Hou Ziang, to turn against each other.

In the end, Du Wei used the greater cause to suppress Hou Ziang.

With one more Seven Kill Token, the chance of obtaining the Divine Dao True Meaning would increase by one point!

The nine seventh-tier experts of the current-era human race were assembled!

As they began to discuss specific tactics, less than an hour remained until the emergence of the Seven Kill Palace.
