Chapter 465

October 2nd, Chen Guo, Dachen Wan Yi.

Peng Lao, who was currently overseeing the main building of the Star-Plucking Tower, suddenly felt his expression grow tense.

"Palace Master, I have already sensed six—no, a total of seven Eighth-Tier auras, and they are rapidly flying toward Dachen Wan Yi."

"As expected."

Cheng Yuexiao, who was guarding to the side, also saw her expression grow solemn.

"Grand Master, should we activate Dachen Wan Yi's city-protecting grand formation? Should we have Dachen Wan Yi's giant city-defense crossbows begin injecting star power to activate?

At the same time, should we mobilize and assemble all the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh-Tier experts in the country?" On the other side, the Grand Commandant Director Pei Ze also saw his expression become incomparably stern.

Seven Eighth-Tier experts coming over—this was different.

If things went poorly, this would be a war of national annihilation!

"No rush yet. Peng Lao, urge the main building of the Star-Plucking Tower to see if Tianyang Xingjun and the other Eighth-Tier experts are acting as a group, or if he is charging over alone," Cheng Yuexiao instructed.

Peng Lao, who was presiding over the main building of the Star-Plucking Tower, nodded immediately and began to urge the main building to sense and search with all its might.

"Grand Master, what do you mean?" Grand Commandant Director Pei Ze asked in confusion.

"If Tianyang Xingjun has abandoned the group of Eighth-Tier experts to charge into Dachen Wan Yi alone, we might be able to attempt to heavily injure him, giving him a blow to the head as a warning! As for the others, they are not that important," Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao said.

Upon hearing this, Director Pei Ze suddenly said, "Grand Master, do you mean Tianyang Xingjun is here to pick up easy gains?"

"Yes!"

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao briefly mentioned a few sentences about his conflict with Tianyang Xingjun while he was handling affairs in Meizhou of the Emperor Da Hong Empire, and Grand Commandant Director Pei Ze understood everything immediately.

"If that is the reason, then Tianyang Xingjun must be here to pick up easy gains! He is definitely not here to fight us to the death.

If so, as long as Tianyang Xingjun discovers that you, Grand Master, are here, he will retreat."

"Exactly."

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao nodded, "Although Dachen Wan Yi only has three Eighth-Tier experts, if Tianyang Xingjun brings six people here wanting to launch a strong attack, as long as a bloody battle begins, even if they can take Dachen Wan Yi, the Eighth-Tier experts of the Tianyang Star Palace will certainly suffer heavy casualties.

Even Tianyang Xingjun himself will inevitably be heavily injured.

At that time, it would be a waste, benefiting the old rival of the Tianyang Star Palace, the Cangming Star Palace.

Cangming Xingjun Wu Shou would surely be very happy to go and overturn Tianyang Xingjun's lair.

And then, the Xumi Palace, the Wood Spirit Palace, and the Cangming Star Palace would carve up our Chen Guo.

In the end, the Tianyang Star Palace, which put in the most effort and suffered the most casualties, might not end up with any benefits.

If they are not careful, they might even be killed to the point of sealing their towers and locking their palaces!

Moreover, today, the strength of the Tianyang Star Palace alone is no longer enough to take down our Chen Guo!"

"Indeed!"

Upon hearing this, Grand Commandant Director Pei Ze felt some emotion.

Times have changed.

A year ago, Chen Guo was trembling with fear.

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao dared not easily leave Dachen Wan Yi, and still had to please both sides, surviving in the cracks between the Tianyang Star Palace and the Cangming Star Palace.

Now, they have the power to confront either side.

Nowadays, unless the Tianyang Star Palace and the Cangming Star Palace cooperate seamlessly and work together with all their might, it is impossible to destroy Chen Guo.

Their national strength is already extraordinary.

After growing for another period of time, he, the Grand Commandant, will be able to sleep soundly without having to sleep with his weapons waiting day and night.

"Palace Master, I have already sensed it. Tianyang Xingjun is indeed leading the six Eighth-Tier experts under his command, but at this very moment, he has slowed down his speed, and the distance to the other Eighth-Tier experts has shrunk to 150 miles, and it is still shrinking," said Peng Lao, who was overseeing the Zhai Xing Lou.

"Tianyang Xingjun's cautious nature has never changed," Grand Commandant Director Pei Ze sighed.

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao nodded, "Since that is the case, let's give up the surprise attack. If I step forward, I can make Tianyang Xingjun retreat on his own, reducing the losses to a minimum."

Grand Commandant Director Pei Ze did not speak, but merely bowed slightly toward Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao.

He understood what Cheng Yuexiao meant.

Once Eighth-Tier experts go all out in a war, especially on Chen Guo's territory, and in the suburbs of the imperial capital, as long as the Eighth-Tier experts on the Tianyang Star Palace side have bad intentions and deliberately lead the battle area toward the ground, the losses would be immeasurable.

With Chen Guo lacking the ability to control the battlefield, the losses brought to the ordinary common people would be immeasurable.

This is also an important prerequisite for the Grand Master to give up the surprise attack at this time.

The next moment, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao stepped on the stars and rose, appearing above the Dachen Wan Yi city walls in an instant, shouting from afar toward Tianyang Xingjun, who was flying over transformed into starlight, "Zhuang Zhen, Cheng has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Almost the moment Cheng Yuexiao appeared, Tianyang Xingjun came to a sudden, sharp stop, looking at Cheng Yuexiao with a vigilant face. His vast divine sense swept in all directions, and a directional spatial teleportation emblem had already appeared in his hand.

His eyes were full of shock and suspicion.

He couldn't figure out why Cheng Yuexiao's return speed was so fast.

Normally, Cheng Yuexiao was in the hinterland of Emperor Da Hong, where the Star-Plucking Tower could not be used, so wanting to return to Dachen Wan Yi would only be slower than them.

But in this situation, it was very obvious that he had been waiting for a long time.

This unreasonable matter made Tianyang Xingjun highly suspicious: were there other experts cooperating with Cheng Yuexiao?

Could this be a trap?

Because of this thought, Tianyang Xingjun, who had stopped abruptly, instantly began to retreat rapidly.

He was not afraid of Cheng Yuexiao and the group of Chen Guo experts, but if the Cangming Star Palace he was worried about joined in, it would be different.

Because of the matter of Zhang Lin and the remaining divine path true intent, Cangming Xingjun was almost about to fight him.

"Your speed is quite fast?"

After retreating more than ten miles in an instant, Tianyang Xingjun stared at Cheng Yuexiao, his gaze uncertain.

Behind him, the six Eighth-Tier experts of the Tianyang Star Palace were rapidly catching up, getting closer and closer. Only then did Tianyang Xingjun feel slightly relieved.

At the same time, Tianyang Xingjun began to consider whether he should take advantage of the situation and have a battle with Cheng Yuexiao.

To thoroughly test Cheng Yuexiao's reality?

Just as he was thinking, suddenly, Tianyang Xingjun's Star-Plucking Token flashed three more times.

An extremely urgent starlight message.

Tianyang Xingjun sank his mind into it with some confusion. Why was it another extremely urgent message?

What major event happened again?

Could it be that the Cangming Star Palace brought people to raid his lair?

Such a thing was not impossible!

Cheng Yuexiao lured him out, and then Cangming Xingjun brought people to kill their way in...

Sinking his mind into it in an instant, with just one glance, Tianyang Xingjun's expression became incomparably ugly.

The situation was even more serious than Cangming Xingjun bringing people to kill their way into his lair!

The Sixth Elder Xia Zhong, who was in charge of intelligence, came to report that after he received the order, he began to deploy personnel to capture the relatives of the Meizhou branch palace master, and at the same time began to investigate the social relations of the Meizhou branch palace master.

But just after his people arrived at the Meizhou branch palace, the relatives of this Meizhou branch palace master had all disappeared!

Of course, the quantity was not that large.

In the intelligence records, the Meizhou branch palace master had one wife, two concubines, two sons, one daughter, and one grandson.

All disappeared.

The servants in the house were all killed by someone.

This series of news made Tianyang Xingjun lock his brows tightly.

Previously, because of the problem with the Meizhou branch palace master, he had already done psychological preparation.

He had already prepared for a major cleanup and a major bloodbath within the Star Palace.

But looking at it now, the internal problems were much more serious than he had imagined.

Under the circumstances where he had given the order, the family members of the Meizhou branch palace master could still be taken away; this Blood God Sect's infiltration of their Tianyang Star Palace was not small.

Now, Tianyang Xingjun was considering another very important question.

Was it only the Meizhou branch palace that had a problem?

Or was it that other places in the Tianyang Star Palace also had problems?

Tianyang Xingjun felt that it was more likely to be the latter.

Under the circumstances where the Meizhou branch palace master was dead, they could still transport the family members away; it was likely that there were still many lurking Blood God Sect members who had not been found. It seemed that a major cleanup was inevitable within the Tianyang Star Palace.

Internal stability was much more important than dealing with external enemies.

A vicious look flashed by, Tianyang Xingjun just glared at Cheng Yuexiao, said nothing, turned around, and left.

The problem that suddenly erupted internally made Tianyang Xingjun feel threatened and uneasy.

Just as Tianyang Xingjun led people to return, inside a certain secret grand palace, the refined middle-aged man who had escaped with his life earlier was using the Mandarin Duck Seal to make his final report to the Vice Sect Master.

"My lord, his family members have all been properly arranged and sent into the Star Domain.

Besides that, the people who might be implicated by the Meizhou branch palace master have also all been arranged.

Those who could be cleared have been cleared directly.

Those who could not be cleared have also been sent into the Star Domain.

But my lord, doing this, isn't the commotion too big?

Letting the Star Palace side find out nothing, doesn't that mean the problem is even bigger?

Won't they give up even more?"

"Shiji, this matter is not done for the dead, but for the living to see!

Only in this way can we make the living people loyal to us and willing to die!

Otherwise, where would so many dead soldiers come from?

You just arrange it well," a mysterious voice came from the Mandarin Duck Seal.

"I understand, my lord," the refined middle-aged man Gao Shiji said in a deep voice.

"Latest news, Tianyang Xingjun, who rushed to Dachen Wan Yi, has already returned. Pass down the order, command all members within the organization to enter a three-month silence period; without the superior's order, no actions are allowed," the Blood God Sect Vice Sect Master ordered.

"Understood, I will arrange it right away."

"My lord, what about the Luomei Star Domain?" Gao Shiji asked.

"Wait a little longer! Now, the Star Gate is destroyed, and without obtaining the authority of heaven and earth, it's useless to go in!

You have also seen that young man and Cheng Yuexiao.

The appearance might be fake, but the star power and star arts cannot be fake.

Others are silent, but your identity is fine.

During this period, you go all out to investigate, and find out the true identity of that young man for me!

I have a premonition that this guy might be a big fish," the Blood God Sect Vice Sect Master said.

"Subordinate understands."

Inside the Qisha Star Domain, after counting all the spoils of war, Xu Jin was surprised again.

First is the Star Jade Tablet.

These Seventh and Eighth-Tier experts who died in battle were not like the dead soldiers in the Luomei Star Domain earlier, whose Xumi spaces were all emptied.

Because they came full of confidence, every one of their Xumi spaces was filled with quite a few treasures.

The Star Jade Tablets they carried were mainly Fifth and Sixth-Tier, and only in the places of the two Eighth-Tier experts did he find four Seventh-Tier Star Jade Tablets.

He found over 700 Sixth-Tier Star Jade Tablets.

Those Seventh-Tier experts each had dozens of Sixth-Tier Star Jade Tablets, while the Eighth-Tier experts had over a hundred.

He obtained a total of 27,000 Fifth-Tier Star Jade Tablets, which made Xu Jin's wealth increase by a large margin again.

Besides that, there were 15 Sixth-Tier star artifacts, which counted as a small fortune.

He found a total of 13 life-saving spatial teleportation emblems, over 20 Star Healing emblems, and over a hundred other emblems, most of which were of the amplification type.

Seventh and Eighth-Tier experts rarely carried lethal emblems; most were life-saving and auxiliary emblems.

There were also over 40 bottles of various elixirs for recovering star power and divine soul power, which was also a big harvest.

He obtained a total of 16 bottles of Long Gui Duan Po Dan for improving divine soul cultivation, which was also a large sum, with an average of more than two bottles per person.

It seems these Seventh and Eighth-Tier experts are all very wealthy.

But the biggest harvest was not these.

It was the Fifth and Sixth-Tier spiritual herbs.

There were 27 Fifth-Tier ordinary spiritual herbs, which are best for strengthening star patterns.

He found a total of 7 Fifth-Tier divine soul-type spiritual herbs, all found from the Xumi spaces of the two Eighth-Tier experts.

This was a big harvest.

Xu Jin had used up four portions earlier and kept four portions ready for the Grand Master; he didn't expect to obtain seven more items this time.

Sure enough, killing and arson lead to golden belts!

Besides that, he obtained three Sixth-Tier spiritual herbs, one of which was a Sixth-Tier divine soul-type spiritual herb.

Up to this point, the Sixth-Tier divine soul-type spiritual herbs Xu Jin had in his hands reached two items.

Once the nourishment is complete, Xu Jin can be extravagant whenever he wants and use Sixth-Tier divine soul spiritual herbs to improve his cultivation.

The other two Sixth-Tier spiritual herbs can also be used to directly improve cultivation.

What surprised Xu Jin was that he didn't find a single one of the Blood God Sect's unique Wan Ling Xue Dan.

Don't know if they were sold or used.

However, these harvests were still not the biggest.

The biggest harvest was the Mandarin Duck Seals collected from these Seventh and Eighth-Tier experts.

Xu Jin can only say that the Blood God Sect is truly generous or wealthy.

These Mandarin Duck Seals, which are incomparably precious in the outside world, are almost one pair per person within the Blood God Sect.

No, it's not even one pair per person.

Important figures likely hold several pairs.

The Mandarin Duck Seals Xu Jin found from the Xumi spaces of the two Eighth-Tier experts alone numbered nine.

This represents at least nine pairs of Mandarin Duck Seals.

In the Xumi spaces of the five Seventh-Tier experts who were killed, Xu Jin found three Mandarin Duck Seals.

A total of twelve Mandarin Duck Seals.

After Xu Jin tried to activate them one by one, he found that there were three pairs of Mandarin Ducks.

Among them, one pair was for contact between the two Eighth-Tier experts, and the other two pairs should be for single-line contact between the two Eighth-Tier experts and two of these Seventh-Tier experts.

This made Xu Jin feel a bit regretful.

If all twelve of these Mandarin Duck Seals were in pairs, then Chen Guo's emergency contact problem could be solved by more than half.

But now, there are only three pairs.

Still not enough!

This made Xu Jin think of that refined middle-aged man who seemed to be the Blood God Sect Vice Sect Master; if he had killed that guy and left him behind, the harvest would have been huge.

That guy looked like he was in a high position; not to mention that his Xumi space had many treasures, the Mandarin Duck Seals used for contact must also be very numerous.

There would be even more that could be paired up!

However, even if he only harvested three pairs, the harvest was big enough.

Just the pair in the hands of Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao and Xu Jin, which can make emergency contact across star domains, has solved so much trouble and brought so many benefits.

With such benefits, he must share them with the Grand Master.

Subsequently, Xu Jin gave a few instructions to Daniu and Qingmu, and with a thought, while changing his appearance, he directly opened a Star Gate in the current world and stepped out in one step.

Don't know if he can still have a chance to participate in the battle if he goes over now?
