Chapter 459: Time and Seeing Die-hards Again (Seeking monthly votes)

Falling Plum Star Domain, a sixth-tier, ninth-layer peak human cultivator was rushing toward the direction of the Blood Spirit Holy City, almost pushing his speed to the limit.

Boom!

Extremely abruptly, a bolt of heavenly lightning appeared, accurately blasting onto his head.

In an instant, his protective star light and sixth-tier star armor were blasted away at the same time. The moment he fell heavily, countless vines grew and probed out from the void, directly binding him into a rice dumpling.

At the same time, Xu Jin's figure suddenly appeared, and with just a beckon, the dark green radiance retracted, and this sixth-tier, ninth-layer peak current-world human, who had been bound into a rice dumpling, was brought into Xu Jin's palm.

The moment his palm covered the back of his head, Warm Dream was activated.

This sixth-tier, ninth-layer peak cultivator fell into a deep sleep on the spot.

Capture.

However, Xu Jin did not start the interrogation immediately, but began to ponder how to interrogate.

As for the star art of void-sprouting vines he just used, it was a special star art Xu Jin obtained when he deduced the Wood Source Star Pattern to the eighth-tier low-grade.

It was extremely practical.

It could sprout hundreds or thousands of vines out of thin air to trap, bind, and block the enemy; it was considered an auxiliary star art, but a super-strong one.

Xu Jin first searched this captive from head to toe to see if there were any identifying marks that could infer his identity.

At this very moment, with the sixth-tier Falling Plum Star Domain falling, those who could be dispatched by the Blood God Sect's Vice Sect Master to scout intelligence were bound to be die-hards.

Especially when Xu Jin discovered that this die-hard he had captured was not cultivating the Blood God Sect's cultivation method, but the current world's orthodox cultivation method, he knew that the matter was very difficult to handle.

That Blood God Sect Vice Sect Master being able to dispatch die-hards who were not from the Blood God Sect, firstly, showed that he was anxious, and secondly, he must have been confident that he would not be discovered by Xu Jin.

Moreover, dispatching five sixth-tier, ninth-layer peak die-hards at once raised the status of this Vice Sect Master to another level.

Whether it was Da Chen or Da Hong, the officials at the provincial level usually had cultivation at the sixth-tier late-stage or seventh-tier early-stage; seventh-tier mid-to-late-stage ones were very, very rare.

The problem came, and the answer came out.

Among cultivators, the strong are respected; under normal circumstances, a seventh-tier early-stage cultivator would find it very difficult to control so many sixth-tier, ninth-layer peak die-hards.

Let alone the seventh-tier, ninth-layer peak Blood God Child Lu Hong.

The Blood God Child Lu Hong being controlled could be said to have been controlled before entering the sixth-tier star domain.

When controlled, his cultivation might have been fifth-tier, or sixth-tier early-stage or sixth-tier late-stage, but it absolutely could not have been seventh-tier.

Now, with these five sixth-tier, ninth-layer die-hards appearing, it excluded most of the high-ranking officials within the Da Hong Empire suspected of being the Blood God Sect's Vice Sect Master.

For example, high-ranking officials of the Mei Province government were impossible.

Because the Falling Plum Manor was located in Mei Province, Xu Jin initially suspected that the Blood God Sect's Vice Sect Master might be a high-ranking official of the Mei Province government.

Now it seemed that this Vice Sect Master's status within the Da Hong Empire might be even higher.

The number of suspected targets decreased sharply.

After searching the die-hard captive from head to toe, he found no identifying information that could point to his identity.

After pondering for a long time, Xu Jin began to interrogate directly in the dream.

"What is your purpose for coming here?"

"Scout the changes within the Falling Plum Star Domain and report to the Boss at the first opportunity."

Xu Jin instinctively wanted to ask who the "Boss" was, but in the end, he didn't dare to ask.

If he asked directly, he was afraid this guy's head would explode directly.

"Which manor did you enter from?"

"Yes."

"On your way here, how many eighth-tier experts did you see?" Xu Jin didn't dare to ask directly, only daring to ask in a roundabout way.

"Two."

"Then on your way here, how many seventh-tier experts did you see?"

"Six."

"Are they at this very moment at the Falling Plum Manor..."

Bang!

Xu Jin only mentioned the three words "Falling Plum Manor," and this die-hard's head exploded.

Xu Jin was silent.

Sure enough, this Vice Sect Master was cautious enough and possessed soul-type star artifacts, possessing the ability to perform soul sealing anytime, anywhere.

This soul-sealing information regarding the Falling Plum Manor must have been added before this die-hard entered.

This showed that this Vice Sect Master was very likely one of the two eighth-tier powerhouses guarding the Falling Plum Manor!

Of course, it might not be.

If it wasn't, then the eighth-tier experts guarding the Falling Plum Manor were estimated to be three.

Two in the open, one in the dark.

Being able to easily mobilize two eighth-tier experts and six seventh-tier experts in the current world, along with so many sixth-tier experts, this Vice Sect Master was definitely an eighth-tier powerhouse, that was certain.

Then, which high-ranking official of the Da Hong Empire would this Blood God Sect Vice Sect Master be?

Could it be an elder of the Lord Tianyang Star Palace?

In doubt, Xu Jin pulled out the Sumeru space of this sixth-tier die-hard.

As Xu Jin expected, it was terrifyingly clean!

Apart from a space-shifting Star Pattern for life-saving, two Star Healing Star Patterns, a bottle of pills for recovering star power, and two mother-child heart-demon Star Patterns for communication, there was nothing else.

There were no objects that could prove his identity.

Even the pill bottles had no markings.

It was very clear that he had carefully cleaned it up before coming in.

Thinking for a while, Xu Jin wanted to try sending a fake message with the mother-child heart-demon Star Pattern to see if he could interfere with the other party or let the other party reply, trying to obtain information.

But to Xu Jin's frustration, the moment his divine sense probed in, this mother-child heart-demon Star Pattern exploded directly.

It should have been pre-sealed; apart from the die-hard's divine sense and star power, no one else could activate it.

"This is really... cautious to the extreme."

Such a cautious opponent, this was the first time Xu Jin had encountered one.

The details Xu Jin thought of, this person thought of; the details Xu Jin didn't think of, this person also thought of.

No wonder this Blood God Sect Vice Sect Master could hide in the current world for so long!

The next instant, Xu Jin soared into the sky and rushed toward another direction.

In that direction, there was also a die-hard who was flying fast toward the Blood Spirit Holy City.

It seemed their goal was very consistent; no matter which direction they fell into, they would head straight for the Blood Spirit Holy City to scout the situation.

From this point, Xu Jin's decision not to kill the Blood God Child Lu Hong again was correct.

Otherwise, if the Blood God Child Lu Hong were reborn from a drop of blood outside, the situation here would have been known to that person long ago.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Jin looked at the exploded head before him with a regretful expression.

He just asked in a roundabout way how their Boss usually contacted them, and the head exploded directly.

The Sumeru space was still incomparably clean.

The other three die-hards, two were killed on the spot.

Xu Jin watched the whole process with the Heaven and Earth Authority; these two sixth-tier die-hards, before dying, all sent messages with the mother-child heart-demon Star Pattern.

Of course, they could only send information about them being surrounded and killed by alien experts.

That was all the information they could obtain.

The last die-hard was indeed capable.

Under the siege of two seventh-tier and three sixth-tier experts, he actually escaped and rushed toward the Blood Spirit Holy City again.

Halfway there, he was intercepted by Xu Jin.

Xu Jin continued to try interrogating with Warm Dream.

Some irrelevant questions could be asked in a roundabout way, but as soon as he asked slightly critical questions, even questions like when he started working for the Boss, the head would explode directly.

"Exactly how many soul seals were applied, and how much effort was put into this?"

Xu Jin admired this Blood God Sect Vice Sect Master, who he had never met and whose identity was extremely mysterious, more and more.

Too damn cautious!

Simply the ancestor of caution.

However, it was not without gains.

At least he had a general understanding of the elite forces ambushed in the bunker of the Falling Plum Manor where the star gate was located.

At least two eighth-tier experts, six seventh-tier experts; in the dark, there might also be an eighth-tier expert ambushed.

Such a lineup was still very terrifying.

Honestly speaking, Xu Jin couldn't handle it.

It was mainly the terrain.

The terrain within the bunker of the Falling Plum Manor where the star gate was located was too small for Xu Jin to display his skills.

Otherwise, Xu Jin wouldn't have a problem saving his life.

Of course, this "couldn't handle it" referred to normal power.

If Xu Jin accumulated a bit more special power and used special power to deal with these two eighth-tier experts, it was possible.

It was just that bringing Daniu along was different.

Moreover, there were these two thousand-plus youths who needed to be settled.

Of course, Xu Jin was not a pedantic person.

He would only do his best to settle these two thousand-plus youths within his own capabilities.

If it exceeded his capabilities, or even caused Xu Jin to lose his life, he wouldn't do it.

But Mo Daniu must be taken away, and his safety must be guaranteed.

After waiting for a long time, Xu Jin didn't wait for the second wave of die-hards.

Xu Jin simply returned to the Blood Spirit Holy City to continue cultivating.

Half a day later, the light on Xu Jin's Mandarin Duck Seal lit up, and the Grand Master finally sent a message.

【Xu Jin, I have deduced for a long time that if you want to settle these two thousand-plus youths, there are two methods. The first is to completely make a scene.

From the current situation, at least the Lord Tianyang Star Lord does not know of the existence of this sixth-tier star domain, which means the Lord Tianyang Star Lord has nothing to do with the Blood God Sect Vice Sect Master; this is something we can utilize.

Otherwise, given the Lord Tianyang Star Lord's personality, if a sixth-tier star domain that had been completely conquered and controlled had problems, he would definitely pay any price to send a large elite force in.

Instead of sitting still.

You must understand that for a force, paying any price for a sixth-tier star domain that has been completely conquered and controlled is acceptable.

So, completely making a scene, for example, if I take action there, it will inevitably lead to the intervention of the Lord Tianyang Star Lord.

At that time, you just need to arrange for these youths to come out.

Even if it's just for the sake of appearances, the Lord Tianyang Star Lord will settle these youths.

At that time, I and the Cangming Star Lord will apply some pressure on the Lord Tianyang Star Lord.

The Lord Tianyang Star Lord won't crudely execute these youths afterwards.

But who lives and who dies in the end depends on their own fortune.】

【Grand Master, what about the second method?】

Honestly speaking, the Grand Master's first method was the most feasible, but as the Grand Master said, how many could live depended on luck, so he wanted to hear the second method.

【The second method is your previous idea, transferring these youths to the Seven Kill Star Domain that you completely control. They can all survive, but there is a huge difficulty in this.

That is, two thousand-plus youths with low cultivation, queuing up to rush out of the star gate of the Falling Plum Star Domain, and then rushing into the star gate of your Seven Kill Star Domain, will definitely take quite some time! I estimated it, under normal circumstances, it will take at least a quarter of an hour.

In a quarter of an hour, the Lord Tianyang Star Lord, who senses the movement, will have already killed his way here; this is another huge difficulty.】

Seeing the message from the Grand Master, Xu Jin frowned.

Settling these youths into the Seven Kill Star Domain was the best solution Xu Jin had thought of during this time.

The feasibility was extremely high.

Although the Seven Kill Star Domain was now a dead star.

But according to the information Xu Jin obtained from the Seven Kill True Lord's inheritance, the Seven Kill Star Domain was actually a living star at the beginning, full of alien races.

Three thousand years ago, in order to condense a superior inheritance star domain, the Seven Kill True Lord killed his way into an eighth-tier star domain and slaughtered all the alien races within the eighth-tier star domain. Losing the nourishment of living aura, this eighth-tier star domain gradually became a dead star.

But as long as there is long-term nourishment of living aura, it can recover into a living star.

So, settling these youths into the Seven Kill Star Domain to live is no problem; of course, for the first few years, Xu Jin needs to provide living supplies, such as food, etc.

If they are settled in, Xu Jin even has many, many visions.

After all, within the Seven Kill Star Domain, Xu Jin is a god!

If these youths are cultivated well, they can even become Xu Jin's foundation.

However, settling these youths into the Seven Kill Star Domain has a huge difficulty.

Entering takes time.

The Seven Kill Star Domain can open star gates at will, but this "at will" has a premise, which refers to the current world!

It means that Xu Jin can open the star gate of the Seven Kill Star Domain in most areas of the current world.

However, within this Falling Plum Star Domain, he cannot open the star gate of the Seven Kill Star Domain.

It's like three rooms; the current world is the main body, and whether it's the Seven Kill Star Domain or the Falling Plum Star Domain, they exist with the current world as the main body.

Under normal circumstances, these two star domains cannot communicate directly; wanting to transfer personnel can only be done through the current world as a transit.

That is to say, Xu Jin can at most open the star gate of the Seven Kill Star Domain in the bunker of the Falling Plum Manor.

At that time, these two thousand-plus youths need to arrive at the current world's Falling Plum Manor from the star gate of the Falling Plum Star Domain, and then enter the Seven Kill Star Domain through the Seven Kill Star Domain star gate that Xu Jin opened in the bunker of the Falling Plum Manor.

Directly communicating between two star domains, whether it was the Sumeru Palace's high disciple Qiao Shen or Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao, they had never heard of such a method.

The difficulty came like this.

Time!

Two thousand-plus youths, arriving in the current world one after another and then entering the star gate of the Seven Kill Star Domain, will take at least a quarter of an hour at the fastest.

And at that time, as long as Xu Jin appears and breaks out into a great battle with those eighth-tier powerhouses.

As long as Xu Jin uses those special powers to severely injure or slay the eighth-tier powerhouses, that fluctuation will inevitably be sensed and discovered by the Lord Tianyang Star Palace's personnel at the first opportunity.

Within Da Hong, the Lord Tianyang Star Lord only needs one teleportation to get from the Lord Tianyang Star Palace to the Hechi County of Mei Province.

Then from Hechi County to the Falling Plum Manor deep in the mountains, a distance of three hundred miles, at the Lord Tianyang Star Lord's speed, it's only sixty breaths, or maybe even faster.

In short, counting the twists and turns in the middle, the Lord Tianyang Star Lord can kill his way to the Falling Plum Manor in at most a hundred breaths.

And the time Xu Jin needs is a quarter of an hour, at least four hundred and fifty breaths, which is nine hundred seconds!

This doesn't even count the battle time, nor does it count the time to resolve the Blood God Sect's group of experts.

【Xu Jin, no matter which method you choose, I will fully support you! If you choose the first method, then all plans will be arranged by me; I will prioritize ensuring your safety, and as for those two thousand-plus youths, how many can live after being settled depends on their own fortune.

If you choose the second method, then you need to make all the plans yourself.

What I can do is help you hold off the Lord Tianyang Star Lord.

My current combat power, one-on-one, should be able to hold off the Lord Tianyang Star Lord, but I might also fall into a disadvantage.

After all, the Lord Tianyang Star Lord is the most veteran eighth-tier peak powerhouse.

He has reached the eighth-tier peak for nearly a hundred years.

However, I estimate that I can at most help you hold off the Lord Tianyang Star Lord for about a hundred breaths.

Because Mei Province is Da Hong's territory, it is the Lord Tianyang Star Lord's territory.

As long as a great battle breaks out, it won't be long before the surrounding powerhouses, including the eighth-tier powerhouses of the Lord Tianyang Star Palace, will swarm in.

Therefore, you need to resolve the time problem.

Or, give up on a portion of the people!】

【No matter which method you choose, you must tell me in advance.

I need at least one to two days to secretly sneak into the Da Hong Mei Province territory to meet you without exposing my identity and whereabouts.】 Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao said.

【Grand Master, I understand! Let me think about it carefully; once I have considered it, I will contact you again.】

After interrupting the communication with the Grand Master, Xu Jin thought seriously.

Although Xu Jin still leaned toward the second method, if he truly couldn't resolve the difficulty, Xu Jin would choose the first method without hesitation.

Doing his best was enough!

If he dragged the Grand Master into this because of it, that would be stupid!

There were two difficulties that needed to be resolved!

The first was to resolve two to three eighth-tier powerhouses of the Blood God Sect in the shortest possible time.

This point, as long as the Grand Master participates, is not too difficult.

The second time problem is the most difficult!

Two thousand-plus youths, only a few have fourth-tier Condense Star cultivation.

There are less than one hundred third-tier Refine Star ones.

The rest are all youths in the Forge Star Realm and Meal of Mist Realm, most under eighteen years old.

For such a group of youths who haven't undergone collective training, collective action, especially the kind of fleeing for their lives, can be imagined how chaotic it will be at that time!

Xu Jin highly suspected that under the chaos, let alone a quarter of an hour, even two quarters of an hour, this group of youths who had experienced disasters would be unable to quickly arrive at the Seven Kill Star Domain from the Falling Plum Star Domain.

If that really happened, it would be a disaster!

Start military training from now on?

If they trained strictly for half a month, they should be able to largely resolve the possibility of such a disastrous problem appearing.

But even if it was resolved, it still wouldn't work.

It still required at least a quarter of an hour.

Currently, counting the time the Grand Master fights to buy Xu Jin time, this group of youths has at most two hundred breaths of time.

In two hundred breaths, less than half will be able to enter the Seven Kill Star Domain.

Headache!

Xu Jin stood up and let out a long sigh.

He pondered bitterly!

If he could get a large number of star boats, he could resolve this huge difficulty.

One star boat, carrying a hundred people, only twenty star boats would be needed to resolve this problem.

But star boats are huge; with Xu Jin's Yuanling divine sense, even after expanding his Sumeru space to its current state, he couldn't accommodate a single star boat, let alone other people.

Even if he could get twenty or so star boats, he couldn't transport them into the sixth-tier Falling Plum Star Domain!

Still impossible!

Hmm?

Suddenly, Xu Jin looked at a scene in the distance, his heart moved, and he had an idea!

The solution was found!

And the feasibility was extremely high!

If successful, the transit time would be significantly reduced.

Xu Jin immediately went to test it himself.

In less than half an hour, Xu Jin finished the test.

It works!

This wild idea of Xu Jin's was completely feasible.

At that time, the transit time of a quarter of an hour could be compressed to within a hundred breaths!

Possibly even shorter!

Moreover, the order of transit could be absolutely guaranteed.

The only thing needed was for Xu Jin to do a lot of preparatory work beforehand.

In this way, the second method became feasible!

Xu Jin immediately told Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao the solution he had thought of using the Mandarin Duck Seal.

In the Danxia Palace, Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao saw Xu Jin's message and also laughed, "This kid, his ideas are really quite clever! Young people's brains are indeed active; I didn't think of this trick."

【Since you have decided to use the second method, then I need to prepare in advance. When do you plan to take action, so I can set off early?】 Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao asked using the Mandarin Duck Seal.

【Grand Master, the time for action is not urgent. To what extent have you comprehended and cultivated the Seven Kill Escape Dragon Stake I gave you?】

Xu Jin, as the true disciple of the Seven Kill True Lord, could already pass on the Seven Kill True Lord's inheritance to others.

So at the first opportunity, he passed the complete version of the Seven Kill Escape Dragon Stake to Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao, Old Peng, Academy Head Dong Zhao, Ning Ning Yuchan, Ji Ji Hongli, and Hou Hou Yunzhang.

【Only the second layer, but the third layer is coming soon! You kid have taught me too many new things during this time, and I'm a bit overwhelmed. The eighth-tier high-grade Fire Source, eighth-tier mid-grade Gold Elephant, eighth-tier high-grade Earth Elephant, eighth-tier high-grade Gold Source Star Pattern, eighth-tier low-grade Wood Source, and eighth-tier low-grade Water Source Star Patterns you gave me a few days ago, I have only barely comprehended the Gold Source Star Pattern to the eighth-tier mid-grade; I haven't had time to comprehend the others at all.】

Hearing this, Xu Jin laughed.

Eighth-tier Star Patterns are indeed time-consuming to comprehend; the higher the rank, the slower it is.

An eighth-tier high-grade Star Pattern, without ten-plus days, cannot be successfully comprehended and engraved, even for the Grand Master.

It's a pity that the Grand Master is not by his side.

If he were by his side, under the reflection of the Star Arena, he should be able to speed up Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao's comprehension speed.

However, after this battle, he could try it if there's a chance.

But now, the Seven Kill Escape Dragon Stake is the top priority.

【Grand Master, you should fully comprehend the Seven Kill Escape Dragon Stake to the fourth layer these few days; if you arrange it in advance and cast it suddenly, you can easily shake off the experts of the Lord Tianyang Star Palace.

Your safety is the top priority.

If your safety cannot be guaranteed.

I wouldn't dare to drag you into this matter.

You are the responsibility of the hundreds of millions of people in Da Chen; if you were in danger, that would be a loss that outweighs the gain!

I would also become a sinner of Da Chen!】 Xu Jin said.

In the Danxia Palace, Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao felt comforted, and then confidently said, 【Rest assured, with my current cultivation, unless the Lord Tianyang Star Palace sends five or six eighth-tier experts, and the Lord Tianyang Star Lord exerts his full strength, it is possible to keep me!

However, with your Seven Kill Escape Dragon Stake, if used well, I can be elusive, and at that time, safety will be even higher.

Then I will follow your words; I will fully comprehend the third and fourth layers of the Seven Kill Escape Dragon Stake these few days.

It is estimated to take about half a month.

Then take action in half a month?】 Grand Master sent a message asking.

【Grand Master, we'll discuss it then. Anyway, I am absolutely safe in this sixth-tier star domain. During this time, besides making preparations, I am also prepared to improve my strength.】

【Good.】

Subsequently, while Xu Jin made preparations, he also began to strengthen the Star Pattern again, preparing to strengthen it a bit more before starting to break through to the sixth tier.

September 14th, Xu Jin strengthened the Fire Source Star Pattern to the fifth layer.

September 20th, Xu Jin strengthened the Wood Source Star Pattern and Water Source Star Pattern to the fifth layer.

September 22nd, Xu Jin strengthened the Gold Source Star Pattern to the fifth layer.

All main combat source-type Star Patterns were strengthened to the fifth layer.

Xu Jin was ready to start breaking through to the sixth tier.

Breaking through to the sixth tier, the most important things were soul cultivation and star power concentration.

Xu Jin continuously asked the Grand Master for many preparations for the breakthrough.

September 24th, just as Xu Jin was about to break through, the Heaven and Earth Authority of the Falling Plum Star Domain suddenly trembled.

The moment Xu Jin's mind sank in, he immediately discovered that there were more intruders.

Current-world humans!

But strangely, they were only fourth-tier cultivators.

This made Xu Jin a bit surprised.

It was not too far from the Blood Spirit Holy City; feeling surprised, Xu Jin soared into the sky and went over personally.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Xu Jin found this fourth-tier cultivator.

Before Xu Jin could act, the moment this fourth-tier cultivator discovered the majestic starlight rushing from afar, he suddenly knelt on both knees, held an object high with both hands, and shouted, "My Vice Sect Master has an invitation!"

As Xu Jin looked, he saw that the object the fourth-tier cultivator was holding with both hands was actually an exquisitely crafted Mandarin Duck Seal!

"This is?"

Xu Jin instantly realized something.

Almost the moment this fourth-tier cultivator saw Xu Jin land, he gritted his teeth, threw the Mandarin Duck Seal, and his whole body instantly exploded into a ball of blood light!

Die-hard!

Seeing die-hards again!
