Chapter 518: Killing the Envoy

~23 min read 4,590 words

Following that majestic Tier 8 aura enveloping the entire central military camp, in the firmament, stars began to twinkle, and starlight swayed down, continuously gathering on the Iron Blood Army Master Ge Qing, who had rushed into the military camp.

The moment he landed, the aura of Ge Qing, a Tier 8, Third Layer powerhouse, had already enveloped the central military camp.

Locking onto the aura of everyone, including all the Blood Owls, Grand Commander Zhong Ji, and Xu Jin.

The terrifying pressure descended like a mountain!

Bang bang bang bang bang!

The sound of kneeling rang out in a piece!

The soldiers of the Iron Blood Army naturally recognized their Army Master.

At this moment, under the majestic pressure, they knelt down one by one; if it weren't for the fact that they couldn't open their mouths under the terrifying pressure, the sound of welcome would have rung out in a piece.

Besides this, those Tier 6 Blood Owls who were still interrogating also couldn't withstand the terrifying pressure brought by the Tier 8 powerhouse, and one by one, they were forcibly pressed to their knees on the ground like old oxen.

At the same time, Grand Commander Zhong Ji in the commander's tent was also impacted by this terrifying aura; caught off guard, he stumbled fiercely, his legs softened, and he lunged forward.

Xu Jin, however, stepped forward quickly and grabbed Zhong Ji, not letting him kneel and make a fool of himself on the spot.

Ge Qing had long locked onto Blood Owl Grand Commander Zhong Ji through his aura; at this very moment, Zhong Ji was his first target for applying pressure.

"Grand Commander, are you alright!"

"I'm fine!"

Zhong Ji, who had steadied his mind, hurriedly urged his star power with all his might; in the sky, stars also twinkled, and scattered starlight fell and merged into Zhong Ji's body.

Only then did Zhong Ji stand steady again and stand straight.

The moment Zhong Ji looked at Xu Jin, he saw Xu Jin's face flushed red, looking like he was urging his star power to the limit to resist.

After all, this was normal.

Otherwise, if he, a Tier 7, Sixth Layer, couldn't withstand this pressure and almost made a fool of himself, and a Tier 6, Ninth Layer was like nothing, whether there was a problem aside, his face as a superior would be lost quite a bit!

"Zhong Ji, what kind of ghost are you playing!"

The next instant, the black-bearded Army Master Ge Qing kicked the door open while shouting angrily!

This made Zhong Ji secretly sigh at how close it was.

Just a little bit, and he would have lost face!

Fortunately, he had his good brother Qi Jin!

Otherwise, if Ge Qing saw him kneeling on the ground, kneeling to welcome him, and this rumor spread, he would never be able to wash it off in his life.

"Blood Owls are investigating a case, Ge Qing, do you dare to obstruct?" Zhong Ji, although cowardly, knew he couldn't back down at this moment, so he stood up straight under the terrifying Tier 8 pressure and directly flashed his Seven-Star Blood Owl token, injecting star power into it; the blood-colored starlight shone incomparably bright!

The footsteps and expression of Iron Blood Army Master Ge Qing froze at the same time!

Some rules on the surface had to be followed.

If he dared to collide with and ignore this Seven-Star Blood Owl token, he would be challenging the authority of the entire Blood God Sect.

Therefore, while Zhong Ji was tough in flashing the token, Army Master Ge Qing didn't dare to act recklessly, only shouting sternly, "Zhong Ji, you Blood Owls are investigating a case, and we in the Iron Blood Army will fully cooperate!

But if you dare to play any small tricks, if you dare to frame any soldier of the Iron Blood Army, this commander will not be finished with you!"

This angry shout from Ge Qing sounded like thunder, exploding in all directions and spreading throughout the entire Iron Blood Army camp!

This was a proclamation, a display of power, and also a comfort.

Telling all the Iron Blood Army soldiers that they had him, this Army Master, to make decisions for them.

To tell the truth, this Ge Qing was still extremely good at commanding an army.

Just this move alone could win over people's hearts significantly!

"Army Master Ge is overthinking; we Blood Owls handle affairs most justly!

Look, although the Iron Blood Army hasn't found any problems yet, we have found clues!" Blood Owl Grand Commander Zhong Ji directly threw out the clue Xu Jin had Jin Jin Dafeng fabricate, pointing to the Blood Moon Army!

"You had better be just!" Ge Qing looked at the confession clue Zhong Ji threw out, staring coldly at Zhong Ji, but silently and soundlessly, he completely dissipated the terrifying Tier 8 pressure he had previously urged.

This could also be considered a disguised admission of defeat.

Xu Jin and Zhong Ji, who bore the brunt, felt their bodies lighten at the same time, the pressure greatly reduced.

Zhong Ji felt relaxed.

Xu Jin, however, had other thoughts in his heart.

Just now, when Xu Jin was supporting Zhong Ji, he deliberately stepped forward a few steps, and the distance to Army Master Ge Qing was less than three meters, which could be considered experiencing the pressure brought by the full urging of the aura of Ge Qing, a Tier 8, Third Layer powerhouse, at an ultra-close distance!

Very relaxed!

Xu Jin still remembered the first time he confronted the Tier 8, early-stage Ju Chu Xuan; facing Ju Chu Xuan's terrifying pressure, he needed to urge his Primordial Spirit with all his might to stand straight.

But just now, Xu Jin didn't urge his Primordial Spirit.

Just the spontaneous operation of the Primordial Spirit easily withstood the pressure Ge Qing urged with all his might!

Back then, when Xu Jin confronted Ju Chu Xuan, he was still at Tier 5, Ninth Layer peak.

At that time, dealing with the Tier 8, early-stage Ju Chu Xuan, Xu Jin dealt with it extremely arduously!

He consumed a large amount of special power he had accumulated and used all his means before he killed Ju Chu Xuan.

Nowadays, Xu Jin's cultivation had not only broken through to Tier 6, but also reached Tier 6, Ninth Layer peak, and even broken the limit.

His Primordial Spirit cultivation had also improved exponentially.

What he had condensed was an eight-cornered Cloud Tower.

The progress in Star Patterns went without saying.

This was why Xu Jin could now easily stand under the pressure urged with all the might of a Tier 8, Third Layer powerhouse.

"Dealing with this person shouldn't be difficult!"

While Xu Jin secretly pondered in his heart, he was also looking forward to the moment he found teacher Qi Seeing Qi Shanye!

As long as he found teacher Qi Seeing Qi Shanye, confirmed his whereabouts, and saw the real person, Xu Jin would never have to be so tied up again!

He could be as happy as he wanted!

This could also be considered one of the meanings of cultivation!

"Army Master Ge, today we have found clues, but we will come back at any time to further investigate!

I hope that next time we come, there won't be any situation of opposing the Blood Owls!

Opposing the Blood Owls is no different from betraying the sect!"

After speaking, Zhong Ji took Xu Jin and left with a flick of his sleeves, but before leaving the barracks, Zhong Ji glanced at General Jin Jin Dafeng, who had taken the Blood Evil Pill not long ago.

Actually, letting General Jin Jin Dafeng take the Blood Evil Pill was their true purpose.

However, the things that followed were the most critical, needing them to do it secretly.

"Go, go to the next place!"

Following Zhong Ji's angry shout, the group of Blood Owls who had previously been forced to their knees by Ge Qing's aura pressure rose one after another and stepped onto the stars.

Looking at the miserable appearance of these subordinates, Zhong Ji looked at Qi Jin, who was following by his side, and found him a few points more pleasing to the eye.

Such a talent must be heavily cultivated.

Must be kept by his side.

"You've worked hard today; use this thing, and strive to break through soon!" While speaking, Zhong Ji threw a leather bag to Xu Jin.

"Thank you, Grand Commander, for the reward!"

Xu Jin accepted it generously; inside the leather bag were five Tier 6 Soul-Returning Pills.

He had gained a bit more cultivation resources.

Leaving the Iron Blood Army camp, Blood Owl Grand Commander Zhong Ji led a group of subordinates and rushed straight to the Blood Moon Army camp.

According to the instructions of the plan, Jin Jin Dafeng directly pointed the next clue to the Blood Moon Army.

And for the Blood Owls, the next clue, whether it was the Blood Moon Army, the Blood Cloud Army, or other guards of the Iron Blood Army, was all fine.

Casting a net to catch fish, as long as they found one with solid suspicion, and as long as it wasn't the Blood God Guard, it was fine.

The purpose of the Blood Owls was fundamentally to get their hands on the Blood God Sect's military power.

The clue given by Jin Jin Dafeng was the Right Military Advisor of the Blood Moon Army, Lian Yu, with a cultivation of Tier 7, Ninth Layer.

The key was that this Right Military Advisor Lian Yu had a grudge against Jiao Hai, who had mysteriously disappeared before!

Many in the army knew about this matter; it had been very noisy back then, and he had even looked for trouble many times.

As for whether this Lian Yu really had suspicion, it was no longer important.

The first breakthrough had been found, and they had Jin Jin Dafeng as a solid witness.

The matter became very simple.

Just let Jin Jin Dafeng bite!

When the time came, with a grudge and solid evidence, were they afraid they couldn't clean up this Lian Yu!

Because of this, Grand Commander Zhong Ji, who was rushing to the Blood Moon Army camp, was truly imposing and full of confidence.

As long as there was evidence, even if the Blood Moon Army was the force of the Left Protector, he dared to touch it.

Momentum—this thing, speaking of it, was ethereal, but in practice, it was very useful.

Previously going to the Iron Blood Army, the original intention was to frame and find a breakthrough, so Zhong Ji was a bit cowardly from the start.

But going to the Blood Moon Army, it was to take evidence and go after the target.

With Jin Jin Dafeng, a witness who knew Jiao Hai's whereabouts, and a string of subordinates, wanting to create ironclad evidence was very simple.

The Blood Owls rushed into the Blood Moon Army camp aggressively and directly suppressed the Blood Moon Army's Tier 8 Vice Army Master Fang Fang Xiyuan, especially when they stated they were investigating the disappearance of the Blood Moon Army's Second Guard General Jiao Hai, and then singled out the Right Military Advisor Lian Yu, who had a grudge against Jiao Hai, Vice Army Master Fang Fang Xiyuan chickened out first.

It looked like there was really something going on!

He didn't dare to stop them!

Because they were investigating the disappearance of an important officer of the Blood Moon Army.

If he stopped them, he was afraid the morale of the army would be shaken.

The things that followed were a matter of course.

This kind of smooth case where they didn't let people go when they had the reason, the Blood Owls had handled too many.

Xu Jin didn't need to intervene at all; Zhong Ji and the group of Blood Owls could handle it clearly.

Even Vice Army Master Fang Fang Xiyuan chickened out.

It was even more impossible to have a military conflict.

However, Zhong Ji still brought Xu Jin by his side; after the Iron Blood Army incident, Blood Owl Grand Commander Zhong Ji almost regarded Xu Jin as his iron-clad confidant and bodyguard.

At critical moments, he still had to rely on Xu Jin to protect his safety.

He wouldn't admit with his mouth that his personal combat power as a Tier 7, Sixth Layer was inferior to the Tier 6, Ninth Layer peak Qi Jin, but his heart and body were very honest.

Having finally come to the Blood Moon Army, Xu Jin naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity to see his teacher.

It was to see his teacher with his own eyes; as long as he saw his teacher was still alive and looked at his teacher's state, Xu Jin would be at ease.

"Grand Commander, looking at the cowardly appearance of this Vice Army Master and the Right Military Advisor, we are highly likely to have caught them red-handed. Why doesn't the Grand Commander take the opportunity to expand the influence of the Blood Owls?

It will also be convenient for handling affairs in the future!" Suddenly, Xu Jin transmitted his voice to Blood Owl Grand Commander Zhong Ji to suggest.

"Expand influence, how to do it?

Catching them red-handed is one thing, but we can't kill people indiscriminately, right?" Zhong Ji was a bit confused.

"Grand Commander, no need to kill; you just need to let the mid-to-high-ranking officers of the Blood Moon Army witness you cleaning up their Right Military Advisor, and that will be enough!

Others kill the chicken to warn the monkey!

Grand Commander, you are killing the tiger to scare the monkeys!" Xu Jin transmitted his voice.

"Eh, killing the tiger to scare the monkeys? Not bad, not bad, good idea, should have said it earlier!"

Zhong Ji followed the flow.

He immediately ordered Vice Army Master Fang Fang Xiyuan to summon the mid-to-high-ranking officers; he wanted to screen the suspects.

Although Lian Yu was crying grievances, with ironclad evidence in front, Vice Army Master Fang Fang Xiyuan didn't dare to delay.

He could only summon the officers and let the Blood Owls fabricate it!

Streams of starlight gathered quickly from all directions; suddenly, a familiar yet strange aura fluctuation attracted Xu Jin's attention.

It was still that tall and slightly thin figure, wearing the standard military armor of the Blood Moon Army, but inside, he was wearing a green robe, his left arm still empty, the green sleeve swinging emptily. His face was even more weathered!

In his originally sharp eyes, there was an extra trace of ferocity.

Qi Seeing Qi Shanye!

Ju Ju Shiqi Seeing Qi Shanye!

A year and a half ago, they parted in life and death.

Nowadays, he saw him again.

Qi Seeing Qi Shanye's Primordial Spirit cultivation was very powerful; his majestic divine sense swept over, and it stayed on Xu Jin for a split second.

It wasn't that he recognized Xu Jin.

Xu Jin himself had changed his appearance, plus his cultivation had greatly advanced.

It was mainly because Xu Jin's divine soul cultivation aura was too strong; he actually couldn't sense exactly how strong it was.

Moreover, there was a kind of aura on Xu Jin that made him feel very familiar.

But he couldn't say where it was familiar!

For a split second, Xu Jin wanted to transmit his voice directly to teacher Qi Seeing Qi Shanye!

Just recognize each other directly!

But in the end, Xu Jin suppressed this impulse.

Better safe than sorry!

He had already found him; it didn't matter if it was half a day or a day later.

While urging the Clear Record Star Pattern, Xu Jin silently sensed the aura of teacher Qi Seeing Qi Shanye and the group of Blood Moon Army officers around him.

He sensed it clearly and remembered it clearly.

Then it would be convenient to save people.

In his sensing, Xu Jin's brows furrowed.

Ju Ju Shiqi Seeing Qi Shanye's aura seemed a bit ferocious!

It was fine if he didn't use the Clear Record Star Pattern to sense.

Once he urged the Clear Record Star Pattern to sense, the aura emitted by teacher Qi Seeing Qi Shanye was like a bloodthirsty fierce beast.

Very ferocious!

Even the eyes that swept over him carried a terrifying fierce intent!

Why was this?

Xu Jin was a bit puzzled!

Even if the Blood God Sect could change a person's style of doing things, changing a person's personality was extremely difficult.

Xu Jin had already planned it out.

When it was night and there was no one around, he would touch over again, then approach teacher Qi Seeing Qi Shanye, choose an opportunity to recognize each other, and see how to rescue teacher Qi Seeing Qi Shanye in the shortest time!

Xu Jin had successfully seen teacher Qi Seeing Qi Shanye here, and Grand Commander Zhong Ji's actions were also very smooth!

After all, he had ironclad evidence in hand.

There was Jin Jin Dafeng as a witness!

And there was a grudge before!

After a round of interrogation, three more officers related to this matter were found.

Directly flashing the token, he wanted to take the Right Military Advisor Lian Yu and those three officers away for interrogation.

Vice Army Master Fang Fang Xiyuan didn't dare to stop him, but he wasn't cowardly, "Grand Commander Zhong, regarding this matter, I have already reported it to my Blood Moon Army Army Master and the Left Protector!

The Left Protector and the Army Master have already ordered that the Blood Moon Army can fully cooperate with the Blood Owls' investigation!

However, they will always pay attention to this matter and personally inquire about it!

The Left Protector said, if the Blood Owls can handle affairs impartially, that's fine.

If they can't, he will definitely make the Blood Owls' heads roll!"

This could be considered a message, a threat, and also a warning!

Zhong Ji naturally understood.

This was also the reason why he dared to take Lian Yu away but didn't dare to directly convict and fabricate.

Next, they needed the big shots above them to fight.

In this process, they could take the opportunity to get involved in military power, but it was limited to mid-level officers and high-level officers with limited resources.

Like Lian Yu, a true high-level officer of the Blood Moon Army, before the top-level big shots fought and had a result, he didn't dare to take action casually.

Just as the Left Protector's warning said, if he really found some trouble, the Left Protector would rush into the Blood Owls and make heads roll.

If he was dead, who would he reason with?

The Left and Right Protectors were the strongest existences in the Blood God Sect besides the Sect Master!

Even the several Hall Masters had to be inferior.

Subsequently, Grand Commander Zhong Ji, as if he had won, brought the prisoners back triumphantly.

Naturally, there was a celebration banquet!

At the banquet, Zhong Ji praised Xu Jin, this Vice Commander, to the skies.

Praising him so much that the other two Vice Commanders looked at Xu Jin differently.

It was estimated that he had attracted hatred.

However, Xu Jin didn't care.

His teacher had been found, and there must be a connection between teacher Qi Seeing Qi Shanye and Uncle-Master Mo Ji.

The biggest problem had already been solved halfway.

If these two Vice Commanders dared to find trouble for him, he would just solve them and add another unsolved case to the Blood Owls.

After the banquet, Xu Jin directly took out the Soul-Returning Pills and began to cultivate with all his might.

First, he directly absorbed that Tier 7 Soul-Returning Pill.

After more than half an hour, the star power within this Tier 7 Soul-Returning Pill was absorbed clean by Xu Jin.

Xu Jin's tenth layer of Cloud Tower also changed from one corner to four corners, adding three corners.

"It seems that condensing one layer of Cloud Tower requires two to three Tier 7 Soul-Returning Pills."

Subsequently, Xu Jin took out the Tier 6 Soul-Returning Pills he had obtained previously and absorbed them one by one.

With Xu Jin's current powerful cultivation, he only needed less than a quarter of an hour to absorb a Tier 6 Soul-Returning Pill clean.

Xu Jin's tenth layer of eight-cornered Cloud Tower was growing stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The moment the fifteenth Tier 6 Soul-Returning Pill was absorbed, Xu Jin's tenth layer of eight-cornered Cloud Tower finally reached a state of perfection!

A quarter of an hour later, the last two Tier 6 Soul-Returning Pills were absorbed, and Xu Jin's eleventh layer of Cloud Tower had already condensed half a corner.

His cultivation had improved again.

There were still forty Tier 5 Soul-Returning Pills, but Xu Jin had no thoughts of absorbing them.

Because the time was almost up.

At this time, it was already the fourth quarter of the Yin hour, exactly the time when everyone was most sleepy.

Quietly leaving a Seven-Kill Escape Dragon Stake in his quiet room for emergencies, while urging his divine sense, Xu Jin pulled the housekeeper and the beautiful maid into a deep sleep using Gentle Dream.

The next instant, invisibility was activated, and Xu Jin rushed straight to the Blood Moon City military camp outside the city!

Before entering the Blood Moon City military camp, Xu Jin discovered that the Blood Moon Army camp was brightly lit!

It was the Army Master of the Blood Moon Army giving a lecture, cursing the Blood Moon Army for being trash, actually letting people take their Right Military Advisor out of the military camp!

This made Xu Jin somewhat depressed.

He had wanted to recognize teacher Qi Seeing Qi Shanye tonight.

Now this Blood Moon Army Army Master was blowing his top!

It seemed he had to delay it a bit.

The next instant, Xu Jin returned the same way.

But on the way back, Xu Jin suddenly sensed the aura of several of his own kind.

The so-called aura of his own kind was not human.

This kind of sensing of his own kind was actually brought to Xu Jin by the world will of the Eight Desolations Continent's Great World.

And this kind of sensing of his own kind was different from the feeling brought to him by ordinary aliens.

In an instant, Xu Jin knew who it was!

Golden Pillar alien!

Eight Desolations Envoy Ju Bo, who was from the Golden Pillar alien race!

Cultivation aura, Tier 7, Sixth Layer!

Xu Jin just sensed it and wanted to return invisibly.

But before leaving, his heart suddenly moved!

He thought of something Jin Jin Dafeng had said.

Jin Jin Dafeng said that the first time they met, this envoy gave him two Tier 7 Soul-Returning Pills as a greeting gift!

And promised that every time he passed a message in the future, he would give a Tier 7 Soul-Returning Pill and accumulate a great merit once!

After accumulating ten great merits, Envoy Ju Bo would ask the Eight Desolations Wang Ju Zhang to help him lift the divine soul imprint.

This showed that this envoy should have quite a few Soul-Returning Pills in his hands.

And there should be quite a few Tier 7 ones.

Someone who could casually send out two Tier 7 Soul-Returning Pills must have at least three to five Tier 7 Soul-Returning Pills, and seven or eight were also possible!

Then...

Suddenly, Xu Jin was somewhat moved!

"It's also time to muddy the waters of the Blood God Sect!

Only in muddy waters can one fish!

Only then can one rescue people more easily!"

With a thought, Xu Jin, who had made a decision, touched toward the mansion of Eight Desolations Envoy Ju Bo.

Ju Bo's mansion in Blood Moon City was in the most central location.

In the mansion, besides Ju Bo, who was Tier 7, there were two Tier 6 and twelve Tier 5, and a pile of Tier 3 and Tier 4 doing chores.

At this very moment, besides the six Tier 5 guards on duty, everyone else was asleep.

Ju Bo, this envoy, was also hugging the tender white thighs of two alien fox girls and had fallen into a deep sleep!

It seemed that the life this envoy lived was truly a good life!

Xu Jin was very clear about his purpose.

Muddying the waters to fish and grabbing Soul-Returning Pills!

The first purpose was easy to handle; the second purpose needed a little bit of time!

Therefore, Xu Jin infiltrated with great patience, continuously casting Gentle Dream along the way, pulling these guards whose divine soul cultivation was only Tier 3 or Tier 4 into a deep sleep one by one.

Even the fox girls were pulled into a deep sleep.

The only trouble was this Envoy Ju Bo; although he hadn't condensed a Primordial Spirit, his divine soul cultivation was Tier 4, Ninth Layer peak, and he had already condensed a Primordial Spirit embryo!

Whether it was Gentle Dream or Kill Dream, neither could be cast directly from a distance.

But thinking about his powerful attainments in space star arts nowadays, Xu Jin sneered, so it didn't matter!

The next instant, the Huang Long Sword suddenly appeared!

Swish!

The Huang Long Sword suddenly accelerated, instantly blowing the head off the completely unprepared Envoy Ju Bo!

Because it was extremely fast and extremely short, although the star power fluctuation was very strong, it didn't cause too much of a stir.

But it still woke up the Tier 6 guard on duty in the next room, "My Lord, are you alright?" A voice came from the door!

Swish!

The Huang Long Sword made a reverse stab, directly blowing the head off the Tier 6 guard outside the door, and a Break Evil was cast at the same time, directly killing Ju Bo's just-escaped, terrified Primordial Spirit embryo!

The intense star power fluctuation made the entire envoy's mansion boil in an instant.

In just one breath, Xu Jin had already found the Sumeru space position of Envoy Ju Bo and pulled it out.

This was another effect of Xu Jin's space star arts after great progress: the speed of pulling out Sumeru spaces became extremely fast!

With a thought, Xu Jin threw all the treasures in Envoy Ju Bo's Sumeru space into his own Sumeru space!

The moment a bright fire pearl appeared, Xu Jin instantly urged the Seven-Kill Escape Dragon Stake!

Boom!

The moment the Great Sun Flame light exploded, the soaring fire light illuminated half of Blood Moon City in an instant!

All the cultivators in Blood Moon City were awakened, and one by one, they rushed out of their courtyards, looking at the terrifying fire light in the center of the city!

So much so that the extremely weak space fluctuation of Xu Jin's Seven-Kill Escape Dragon Stake was almost non-existent!

The next instant, Xu Jin awakened the housekeeper and the beautiful maid in their deep sleep, also rushed out of the room, mixed into the Blood Owl colleagues, and looked at the fire in the center of Blood Moon City in shock!

This night, Blood Moon City, sleepless!
