Chapter 524

Inside Blood Moon City, Left Protector Fan Kai, who was cultivating, suddenly felt a movement in his heart. He took out an Eight Desolations Silver Token, and when he saw the mark clearly, his brows furrowed.

This was a special tool he used to contact the King of Eight Desolations, Ju Zhang.

In the past, the King of Eight Desolations rarely contacted him directly; what was happening these past few days, once a day?

But he still sank his mind into it to check the message.

Before the Sect Master descended, he had to give this King of Eight Desolations enough respect.

The moment his mind sank into it, the roar of the King of Eight Desolations, Ju Zhang, rushed out from the Eight Desolations Silver Token.

【Is your Blood God Sect trying to rebel? Killing my special envoys one after another, do you really think I don't dare to slaughter your Blood God Sect?】

【Believe it or not, I will send troops to your Blood God Sect right now and slaughter you all first!】

The successive roars gave Left Protector Fan Kai the feeling of being sprayed with spit.

At the same time, he was a bit confused!

Hadn't the assassination of the Eight Desolations special envoy already passed?

What happened again?

One after another?

Suddenly, Left Protector Fan Kai sat up straight.

He remembered the notification from the Eight Desolations Wang Ting last night: the new Eight Desolations special envoy would go to Blood Moon City to take office with the Purple Wing Prince and investigate the killing of the Purple Wing Prince's clan.

According to the communication last night, they were expected to arrive at noon today, and he had even prepared to welcome them five hundred miles out half an hour early to show respect!

"Could it be that something happened to this special envoy again?"

The next instant, Left Protector Fan Kai contacted this Eight Desolations special envoy urgently for the first time.

But all contact was like a clay ox entering the sea, with no response.

Fan Kai's heart thumped, and he had a bad premonition: something had happened!

And something big had happened!

He hurriedly explained the matter to the King of Eight Desolations, and his posture was also lowered to the lowest possible level at the first moment.

If another special envoy died, and if this matter couldn't be rounded off again, then their Blood God Sect would be in big trouble.

Once a direct conflict with the Eight Desolations Wang Ting occurred, the Blood God Sect's strength suffering great losses was inevitable.

By then, the King of Eight Desolations side would be fine, but after the Sect Master descended, he would definitely not spare him!

While urgently notifying various high-level officials, Left Protector Fan Kai used all his skills to explain that this matter had nothing to do with the Blood God Sect, and for a time, he wished he had a mouth all over his body.

But for Ju Zhang, the cry for help from the special envoy before he died was still in his ears.

Moreover, the Eight Desolations special envoy was the face of his King of Eight Desolations, and being stepped on by the Blood God Sect one after another, how could he easily let it go.

Nor could he easily believe a few explanations.

However, Left Protector Fan Kai's low posture and explanation were still useful.

It made the King of Eight Desolations, Ju Zhang, agree to go to the scene to take a look himself, allowing them to go and explain in person.

The King of Eight Desolations definitely had to go to the scene!

The Eight Desolations special envoy Ju Zong he sent was his clansman, with quite strong combat power. Among the Seventh-Tier, there were very few who could defeat Ju Zong, and those who could kill him were few and far between, and they were all Golden Pillar clansmen.

In other words, to kill Ju Zong in a very short time, it must have been an Eighth-Tier.

And Ju Zong was traveling with the Purple Wing Prince. The accompanying Purple Wing Prince was Eighth-Tier Early-Stage, with powerful combat power, stronger than ordinary Eighth-Tier Early-Stage, and there were six Seventh-Tier Late-Stage members.

With such a luxurious lineup, even an Eighth-Tier Mid-Stage powerhouse couldn't kill them in a short time.

The fact was, they were all killed!

This made Ju Zhang feel a bit uneasy.

Theoretically, those who could kill this lineup were either Eighth-Tier Mid-Stage genius cultivators, or Eighth-Tier Late-Stage or even Eighth-Tier peak powerhouses who took action.

If the Blood God Sect did it, it would actually be easy to handle.

What he feared was that the Blood God Sect didn't do it.

Therefore, Ju Zhang had to go and check it himself.

The next instant, the King of Eight Desolations, Ju Zhang, rose from the Eight Desolations Ancestral City, turned into a stream of light, and disappeared quickly; his speed was extremely fast.

At the same time, the Blood God Sect Left Protector Fan Kai took several Eighth-Tier members, also hurriedly left Blood Moon City, rose into the stars, and rushed toward the incident site.

Just before setting off, a Blood God Sect scout reported an abnormality, saying that extremely terrifying power fluctuations had appeared somewhere.

About five thousand miles away from Blood Moon City, that should be the incident site.

Fan Kai took a group of people and rushed there at extreme speed. After flying for no more than a hundred breaths, when they were less than six or seven hundred miles away from Blood Moon City, Fan Kai, who was flying, suddenly sensed a spatial fluctuation flash and disappear.

This made Fan Kai frown.

Spatial fluctuations were extremely rare.

He wanted to chase, but gave up immediately.

Firstly, he was facing an extremely urgent matter.

Secondly, spatial fluctuations were extremely difficult to chase, and there would be no results in a short time.

With doubts, Fan Kai flew directly to the incident site where the information was gathered.

In order to check the scene at the first moment, Fan Kai left the other Eighth-Tier members behind and flew at extreme speed. After only half a quarter of an hour, he arrived at the scene.

At the scene, there was still extremely rich lightning-type star power remaining.

There were also a large number of corpse fragments and corpse ashes remaining.

Just as he was about to sense carefully, in the distant sky, a star light suddenly fell from the sky like a shooting star.

Before the person arrived, the terrifying pressure fell first, scaring the Left Protector, whose cultivation had reached Eighth-Tier Late-Stage, into trembling in his heart, with an involuntary feeling of wanting to worship from the bottom of his heart.

"Ninth-Tier!"

"Is this the might of the Ninth-Tier?"

"Is the speed of the Ninth-Tier actually this fast?"

Left Protector Fan Kai was extremely familiar with the geography of the Eight Desolations Continent.

Taking the incident site as the boundary, it was five thousand miles away from Blood Moon City, but the distance from the Eight Desolations Royal City was over thirty thousand miles.

A six-fold distance gap, but the King of Eight Desolations, Ju Zhang, arrived at the same time as him.

Even if the King of Eight Desolations set off a little earlier, he had also delayed a little on the road.

Roughly calculating, the speed of the King of Eight Desolations was four or even five times that of his Eighth-Tier Late-Stage!

Terrifying!

"Protector Fan arrived quite fast!" The King of Eight Desolations, Ju Zhang, who arrived alone, sneered.

The reason he came alone was because it was fast.

Since he broke through to the Ninth-Tier, even the Eighth-Tier peak Elders within the clan were much slower than him.

Of course, his speed was extremely fast, not only because his cultivation broke through, but also because of the blessing of Heavenly Authority.

"This subordinate pays respects to the Great King! Reporting to the Great King, this subordinate also just arrived and hasn't had time to investigate." Today's matter could be considered as having offended the King of Eight Desolations again, so Left Protector Fan Kai took the initiative to bow his head and use the full etiquette!

The last time he performed such a grand ceremony was when the King of Eight Desolations ascended the throne and was crowned King.

Regarding the fact that he had just arrived, Ju Zhang believed it.

This was also the confidence of him, the King of Eight Desolations.

The next instant, Ju Zhang's divine sense scattered in all directions like mercury spilling on the ground.

Left Protector Fan Kai also investigated silently.

Each of them sensed quietly with their divine sense, checking the scene from time to time.

After a long while, the King of Eight Desolations, Ju Zhang, said, "Lightning-type star art, the power of the star art is extremely violent. The cultivation aura is not clear, but condensing the Yuan Spirit is inevitable.

I can also smell a slight human aura!

There are also quite a few spatial power fluctuations remaining.

Except for the bloodstains of my clan members, there are no other human bloodstains. In other words, the attacker was not injured, and the combat power is very strong.

Then, the target is basically clear.

Human Eighth-Tier, proficient in lightning-type star art and spatial star art." The King of Eight Desolations, Ju Zhang, said.

"This subordinate's sensing is also the same." Fan Kai bowed helplessly.

The next instant, the King of Eight Desolations, Ju Zhang, smiled grimly, stared at Fan Kai and said, "Since that's the case, then Left Protector Fan, when will you hand this murderer over to me?

Or, should I lead a large army to surround Blood Moon City and Blood Cloud City and drag this murderer out of your Blood God Sect myself!"

Locked by the Ninth-Tier aura, Fan Kai's face was full of panic, but in his heart, he sighed helplessly.

The King of Eight Desolations, Ju Zhang, was extremely clear about the internal situation of their Blood God Sect, especially the experts.

There were quite a few human Eighth-Tier powerhouses, but adding the two conditions of being proficient in lightning-type star art and spatial star art, the number was zero!

Ju Zhang knew this.

Fan Kai also knew this!

But Ju Zhang forcing him like this and asking him for the murderer was, in the end, just to manipulate their Blood God Sect and achieve political goals!

At this juncture, unless the Blood God Sect really rebelled, the Eight Desolations Wang Ting would not go to war with the Blood God Sect.

The next instant, Fan Kai sighed helplessly, knelt on one knee and said, "I beg the Great King to see clearly!

My Blood God Sect would absolutely not and dare not do such a thing!

This must be someone else deliberately framing our Blood God Sect, wanting the Eight Desolations Continent to be in chaos and internal friction!"

"Oh, so you're saying I've wronged your Blood God Sect?

My new special envoy Ju Zong, the last message he sent me before he died was asking me for help, saying the Blood God Sect assassinated him!

Why don't I let you see his dying words!" Ju Zhang sneered.

"This subordinate doesn't dare!"

Fan Kai was still kneeling on one knee, not daring to get up, "Great King, my Blood God Sect truly has no such experts!

If there really were an Eighth-Tier expert proficient in lightning-type star art and spatial star art, under the Great King's divine eyes, they wouldn't be able to hide even if they wanted to!

If the Great King doesn't believe me, all the cities of my Blood God Sect can be opened immediately, and all cultivators can line up to accept the Great King's inspection.

If an Eighth-Tier powerhouse proficient in lightning-type star art and spatial star art is found within my Blood God Sect, this subordinate is willing to commit suicide to apologize!"

On this point, Fan Kai was truly confident.

Eighth-Tier, proficient in lightning-type and spatial star arts; such powerhouses were rare in the current world.

Let alone within the Blood God Sect.

To be honest, if there really were such a person, then he, this Left Protector, would have to abdicate and let the worthy take over.

Ju Zhang glanced at Fan Kai, his brows furrowed slightly.

He believed Fan Kai's words.

Because he controlled part of the Heavenly Authority of the Eight Desolations Continent and already possessed a small amount of divine might.

The Eighth-Tier and Seventh-Tier Late-Stage powerhouses of the Eight Desolations Continent, whether they were from any side or outsiders, as long as they appeared in the Eight Desolations Continent, he knew them like the back of his hand!

Whether they existed or not, he knew too clearly!

Of course, he could also sense newly added Sixth-Tier and Seventh-Tier powerhouses, but with the massive population of the Eight Desolations Continent, if he really did that, he, Ju Zhang, would have nothing to do all day but count heads.

Then the question arose, his judgment couldn't be wrong.

The sensing at the scene couldn't be wrong either!

The sensing brought by his Heavenly Authority couldn't be wrong either!

Where was the murderer?

This was what Ju Zhang was truly worried about!

"Could it be that a human Eighth-Tier powerhouse who can shield my Heavenly Authority sensing has sneaked into the Eight Desolations Continent?"

Ju Zhang immediately denied this idea.

Heavenly Authority is equivalent to divine might; how could it be shielded by ordinary star arts!

"Could it be that a human Seventh-Tier peerless genius has sneaked in?"

At this thought, Ju Zhang's brows furrowed even tighter.

Human peerless geniuses have the possibility of killing powerhouses across major realms.

If it's not Eighth-Tier, then it's only possible that it's a human Seventh-Tier peerless genius.

And it is highly likely that a Seventh-Tier Mid-Stage or even Early-Stage peerless genius has sneaked into the Eight Desolations Continent.

However, if he could be found and killed, that would be a heavy blow to the current human race!

Peerless geniuses who can kill across major realms will definitely become Eighth-Tier peak powerhouses in the future, and may even break through to the Ninth-Tier!

It's just that for a period of time in the future, he would have to live a bitter life.

The number of Eighth-Tier and Seventh-Tier Late-Stage cultivators in the Eight Desolations Continent was already quite large.

If Seventh-Tier Early-Stage and Seventh-Tier Mid-Stage were added, and he had to keep an eye on them all the time, it would truly be very hard work.

But if he could really drag them out, it would be worth it!

Although he had a decision in his heart, the King of Eight Desolations, Ju Zhang, still had a cold face, "If the murderer is not found, even if you commit suicide, it will be of no avail!"

"But my Blood God Sect truly has no murderer. My Blood God Sect is loyal to the Great King. We have always treated the Great King's envoys as angels, let alone assassinating them.

I beg the Great King to see clearly!" Left Protector Fan Kai, who was kneeling on one knee, at this moment, almost kowtowed.

Seeing that Fan Kai had said this much, the King of Eight Desolations, Ju Zhang, felt that the heat was about right, "Oh, truly loyal?"

"Absolutely true!"

"Alright then, I will continue to investigate the assassination of the two special envoys and the Purple Wing Prince. Your Blood God Sect must not only investigate and screen for suspicious Seventh-Tier candidates, but also cooperate with my Golden Horn Guards." The King of Eight Desolations, Ju Zhang, said.

"I beg the Great King to rest assured, my Blood God Sect will definitely go all out!" Fan Kai guaranteed.

"Second thing, continuous lapses like this in your Blood God Sect's territory show that your Blood God Sect's combat power is still a bit lacking.

It just so happens that I will open the Limit-Breaking Secret Realm in five days. Your Blood God Sect's elites who are stuck at the Sixth-Tier Ninth Layer peak, as well as Seventh-Tier and Seventh-Tier Ninth Layer peak elites, can all take this opportunity to break through or significantly improve their cultivation.

No problem, right?" Ju Zhang asked.

"This is a great good thing, the Great King's grace. We have been hoping for it, and we will definitely participate enthusiastically." Left Protector Fan Kai guaranteed.

"Participate enthusiastically? This is a good thing." The King of Eight Desolations, Ju Zhang, nodded, "However, the quotas I can give you here are not many. My subordinates are all fighting for this quota!

Thirty, should be enough, right?"

"Enough, enough!" Left Protector Fan Kai said.

"Then I will leave thirty quotas for you! But my quotas are precious. Every quota is exchanged from the Ancestral World at a high price. You won't waste them for me, will you?" Ju Zhang stared at Fan Kai and asked.

"This subordinate guarantees that the thirty quotas will absolutely not be wasted!" Left Protector Fan Kai gritted his teeth and said.

Now, the thirty quotas had to be gathered!

"Very good, then I will wait for your Blood God Sect's elites."

After finishing, the King of Eight Desolations, Ju Zhang, waved his sleeves, rolled up the remains, and disappeared into the distance as star light in an instant.

Left Protector Fan Kai slowly stood up, but in his mind, he recalled the trace of spatial fluctuations he vaguely sensed on the way here!

For a time, his expression was a bit ferocious!

After another few dozen breaths, the other Eighth-Tier Elders arrived one after another.

Inside Blood Moon City, Xu Jin sneaked back into the city while invisible and without a sound, then returned to his residence openly, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

During the process of performing the Spatial Directional Shift star art on the road, he had vaguely sensed the aura of a group of Eighth-Tier powerhouses passing by.

It gave him a fright.

Fortunately, no one chased him.

Until he returned to his residence, Xu Jin activated the Bright Chronicle Star Pattern, started the Eye of Overview again, raised his perspective infinitely, and confirmed that no Eighth-Tier were surrounding his residence, only then did he breathe a complete sigh of relief.

At the place where he fought before, he vaguely sensed an Eighth-Tier, and an aura even more terrifying than the Eighth-Tier.

In an instant, Xu Jin had an epiphany in his heart.

Ninth-Tier!

That aura even more terrifying than the Eighth-Tier was highly likely to be Ninth-Tier!

So Xu Jin wisely withdrew the Eye of Overview and did not look at that place again.

The next instant, Xu Jin sank his mind into the Sumeru space, preparing to take stock of his gains.

The first thing he took out was the twenty Eighth-Tier star cores obtained from the Purple Wing Prince's body.

The moment these twenty Eighth-Tier Low-Grade star cores were in his hands, the Star Palace's Arena Platform suddenly trembled slightly!

The Arena Platform hadn't had a similar anomaly for a long time!
