Chapter 542: The True Person

After employing the Seven Killings Escaping Dragon Stake to flee outside Blood Moon City, Xu Jin did not hesitate for a single moment to use the Spatial Directional Shift star art to teleport seven hundred miles away.

His injuries were not too severe; it was just that his consumption had been rather large.

During the dozen or so breaths of combat, Xu Jin had been outputting at full power every single instant.

After putting seven hundred miles of distance between himself and Blood Moon City, Xu Jin did not hesitate to draw upon forty strands of starlight from the Arena of Battle, rapidly injecting them into his own Cloud Tower.

Under internal observation, the Cloud Tower within his body, which had originally become somewhat illusory, visibly solidified.

While swallowing a fourth-tier Soul-Spirit elixir to recover the consumed soul power, Xu Jin immediately sent a safety message to his teacher, Seeing Qi Shanye, while simultaneously inquiring about the situation inside Blood Moon City.

【The Left Protector originally ordered experts to pursue you in all directions, but those eighth-tier and seventh-tier experts who were tracking you were recalled just as they left the city.

Currently, the entire city is under martial law.

The Blood Moon Army has been ordered to blockade Blood Moon City, and the Iron Blood Army is coordinating with the Blood God Guards to begin a thorough search throughout the city.】

While Xu Jin secretly felt it was a pity, he asked, 【Teacher, while ensuring your own safety, please help me scout the movements of the Right Protector, Lin Mingshi, and the other eighth-tier experts of the Blood God Sect.】

【Jin Er, do you mean you still want to kill your way back? Isn't that a bit too risky?

The situation just now was too worrying.

That Blood Blade Grand Array was something I had never seen before either.

Heaven knows if the Blood God Sect still has any hidden means?】 Seeing Qi Shanye was quite worried.

【Teacher, rest assured, I have a plan in mind and will not take risks. The most dangerous moment has already passed. You, on the other hand, must pay attention to your safety.】 Xu Jin replied.

【I am fine. My martial uncle and I are now even more valued by the protectors. Just a moment ago, I was temporarily appointed as the Deputy Army Lord of the Blood Moon Army.

The original Deputy Army Lord was promoted on the spot to Army Lord.

I am now patrolling the skies above Blood Moon City openly, which makes gathering intelligence very convenient.】 Seeing Qi Shanye said.

【Good, tell me if there are any changes.】

The Blood Blade Grand Array that the Blood God Sect had set up in Blood Moon City was something Xu Jin had not anticipated.

It posed a massive threat to Xu Jin.

Xu Jin estimated that the power of those blood blades had already reached the peak of the eighth tier, and of the most top-tier kind at that.

With a single slash, the power should not be much different from a full-force strike from the Grand Master, Tianyang Xingjun, and the others.

Otherwise, with Xu Jin's current strength, he would not have been unable to withstand it even after using twenty strands of Earth Core Earth Rhyme.

The threat of these blood blades was even greater than the threat posed to Xu Jin by the two late-eighth-tier protectors.

And the key was that there were many eighth-tier experts in Blood Moon City; once they formed a concentrated fire, Xu Jin would become incomparably wretched.

If they were dispersed, it would be simple.

Just like in the Limit-Breaking Secret Realm, where the three eighth-tier experts of the Eight Desolations alien races were split into two waves, Xu Jin had found it exceptionally easy to deal with them.

However, this also gave Xu Jin an extremely bold plan, and he wanted to see if he could seize the opportunity to implement it successfully.

Of course, the reason it was called a bold plan was that it carried certain risks.

And the risk came from the Blood God Sect Master, who had not yet appeared.

According to what the Blood Owl Grand Commander, Zhong Ji, had said, the Blood God Sect Master was about to break through to the ninth tier and descend.

The time limit Zhong Ji had mentioned at the time was about a month.

Calculating the time, it had already been twenty-eight days since Xu Jin arrived in Blood Moon City.

If Zhong Ji was not wrong, then the Blood God Sect Master's descent would be within these three to five days.

Fast within a day or two, slow within eight or nine days.

There was not much time left for Xu Jin.

That was a ninth-tier powerhouse!

With Xu Jin's current self, no matter how confident he was, he dared not engage a ninth-tier expert.

Therefore, if he wanted to rescue his teacher, these few days were the best time.

Now it depended on whether the Blood God Sect's Left Protector, Fan Kai, would give him this opportunity.

The next instant, Xu Jin's thoughts fell upon the Thousand Star Token within his Sumeru space.

This time, he had harvested three of them.

You have to say, this Thousand Star Token itself was somewhat miraculous.

Under his sensing, not only was the material of this Thousand Star Token something Xu Jin had never seen before, but at first glance, it was just a plain, unremarkable token the size of a palm.

But when his divine sense sank into it and he held it in his hand, it presented as an eight-sided shape, and the two characters "Thousand Star" inside seemed to be naturally generated at the very center, rotating and drifting.

Moreover, no matter which side one looked at it from, one saw the front-facing "Thousand Star" characters; there were no sides or back at all.

Just this means alone was extremely miraculous.

After only glancing at it a few times, Xu Jin threw it back into the Sumeru space; refining it would take time, and now was not the time to refine it.

The next instant, Xu Jin directly released the Sharp Metal Little Bai Hu by his side to stand guard for him, while he used the Dream Warmth to pull himself into a deep sleep.

He needed a short recovery.

After a great battle, physical strength was easy to recover, but mental fatigue was not as fast to recover from as taking a nap.

The Sharp Metal Little Bai Hu patrolled a circle around the sleeping Xu Jin, then its figure suddenly shrank to the size of a palm, and it squatted on Xu Jin's shoulder, glaring in all directions like a tiger.

This Sharp Metal Little Bai Hu came from the powerhouse of the Golden Pillar alien race, Ju Xuan, but even the Grand Master, Cheng Yuexiao, did not know its true origin.

It liked to devour the Sharp Metal Rhyme produced by Xu Jin's Golden Elephant Star Pattern. Currently, under Xu Jin's daily feeding, its cultivation aura had already recovered to the mid-sixth tier.

But it was still not enough for combat.

Xu Jin sometimes even wondered, if the Arena of Battle wanted Fire Spirits, then was there a Metal Spirit in this world?

Then, was the Sharp Metal Little Bai Hu transformed from a Metal Spirit?

It was a pity that information in this regard was extremely scarce, and Xu Jin was not clear on anything more specific.

Inside Blood Moon City, the Right Protector Lin Mingshi's primordial spirit was gloomily refining ten seventh-tier Myriad Spirit Blood Pills while driving the Blood-Dripping Divine Pattern.

Although his primordial spirit had not been destroyed this time, his physical body had been blasted until not even a scrap remained. Even at this very moment, when he recalled that instant, he still felt an inexplicable palpitation, and even a bit of fear.

That was only because the Left Protector Fan Kai was there; if there had been no one, that person would only have needed to strike one more time, and his primordial spirit would have turned to ash.

At that time, everything would have been over.

For him, who possessed the Blood-Dripping Divine Pattern, star power cultivation was easy to recover, but recovering primordial spirit cultivation was extremely difficult.

This time, his luck was not bad.

He only needed to drive the Blood-Dripping Divine Pattern, supplemented by the precious Myriad Spirit Blood Pills, and his cultivation would be able to recover rapidly.

Amidst the flashing blood light, the blood light constantly expanded, and in less than half a quarter of an hour, a new Right Protector Lin Mingshi appeared before the Left Protector Fan Kai.

By the time the medicinal power of the ten seventh-tier Myriad Spirit Blood Pills was exhausted, Lin Mingshi's cultivation had only recovered to the peak of the ninth layer of the seventh tier.

Falling by a major realm was the price that had to be paid for using the Blood-Dripping Divine Pattern to resurrect.

Fortunately, his primordial spirit cultivation was undamaged.

Moreover, for existences like them who had already broken through to the eighth tier once, after resurrecting using the Blood-Dripping Divine Pattern, there were no cultivation bottlenecks, and one could recover cultivation all the way through.

"You need to recover your cultivation to the eighth tier as soon as possible before you can show your face, otherwise, it will affect your status," the Left Protector Fan Kai said.

"I can do it now," the Right Protector Lin Mingshi said.

"Now?"

"Yes."

As he nodded, the Right Protector Lin Mingshi already had a crystal-clear Myriad Spirit Blood Pill, as brilliant as a gemstone, in his palm. After just one glance, the Left Protector Fan Kai's expression changed slightly, "You... you were prepared early on."

"Originally, it was just prepared for life-saving, and I didn't think of using it to recover cultivation. I didn't expect to use it now. However, even after refining it, my cultivation can only recover to the early eighth tier.

Counting the loss of cultivation and the Seven-Star Spirit Treasure, this time dying in battle, my strength was weakened by at least one-third," Lin Mingshi said.

"It's fine, it can eventually be recovered! On the side of the Eight Desolations Wang Ting, the Pure Pearl is good for recovering cultivation. If collected well, in a month or two, your cultivation will be able to recover.

As for the Seven-Star Spirit Treasure, just exchange for another one," the Left Protector Fan Kai said.

The Right Protector Lin Mingshi nodded, "That is the only way!" Speaking of this, Lin Mingshi suddenly said solemnly, "Do you think this assassin is really just for the Thousand Star Token?"

"It can only be the Thousand Star Token!

Otherwise, there is no need to take such a big risk.

The Thousand Star Token is worth this risk," the Left Protector Fan Kai said.

"Then you say, how was the matter of distributing the Thousand Star Token during that time period just now, and letting those few people refine the Thousand Star Token on the spot, leaked?" Lin Mingshi asked.

"Leaked? Impossible to leak..."

At this point, the Left Protector Fan Kai's expression changed drastically, "A mole, the mole has not been completely cleared.

And the mole is among the high-ranking officials and the ten elites who returned alive who participated in the reward meeting in the City Lord's Mansion."

"I think those ten elites are the most suspicious! The other elders and army lords who attended all have Thousand Star Tokens, so there is no need to take this risk.

For this Thousand Star Token, one is enough; more is useless."

"Then I will go check immediately!"

The Left Protector Fan Kai left quickly. At this time, another primordial spirit wrapped in blood light in the quiet room looked at the eighth-tier alien corpse placed in front of him and said incomparably miserably, "Protector, my physical body is gone, can you also pass me the Blood-Dripping Divine Pattern?"

This person was the early-eighth-tier Blood Moon Army Lord who had been blasted to death by Xu Jin using the Five Elements Divine Thunder. His primordial spirit had also survived, but he did not know the Blood-Dripping Divine Pattern and could only use secret arts to force his primordial spirit into the physical body of an eighth-tier alien to seize the body and be reborn.

But there were many drawbacks to this, and his strength was far worse than a real eighth-tier, and he had to endure the suffering of being burned by Yin Fire every day.

"The Blood-Dripping Divine Pattern method is extremely special and can only be taught by the Sect Master. You should first seize a body to survive; it is said that the Sect Master is about to descend.

When the Sect Master descends, I will take you to beg the Sect Master, perhaps there will still be a chance.

After all, your physical body was also lost for the Divine Sect," the Right Protector Lin Mingshi said.

"Thank you, Protector," the former Blood Moon Army Lord said helplessly.

The next instant, Lin Mingshi began to rapidly refine the eighth-tier Myriad Spirit Blood Pill that he had obtained at a great cost. At the same time, Lin Mingshi's aura also began to rise rapidly.

The aura went from the peak of the ninth layer of the seventh tier toward the eighth tier.

Inside Blood Moon City, the Left Protector Fan Kai, who was investigating, also had preliminary results.

"What, Shi Lie has disappeared? Just gone?"

"Check, check everything about Shi Lie for me, superiors, subordinates, and all movements within this month, check it clearly for me!" Inside Blood Moon City, the Left Protector Fan Kai was roaring, but his brows were tightly locked.

If there were no accidents, this Shi Lie was the mole lurking inside.

But from the existing intelligence, Shi Lie not only did not know Thunder-type star arts, but he also did not know Spatial-type star arts at all.

In the Ancestral World of the Golden Pillar Holy Race, the mysterious and complex final path on the golden horn atop the head of the True Person Jin Shuo each emitted brilliant radiance.

Countless brilliant radiances constructed together, as if forming a huge starlight fishing net, and the Limit-Breaking Secret Realm that had long been refined by him was constantly shrinking under this heavy radiance, beginning to fall from the starlight river in the void, falling toward his big hand.

A medium-world secret realm returning to the starlight river, even if it had been refined by him, was very strenuous to recover, and he had already spent two hours and had not yet completely finished.

Another hour later, the Limit-Breaking Secret Realm, which was like a ball of light, seemed to have broken free from some restraint, instantly detaching from the starlight river and falling toward the sky of the Ancestral World.

True Person Jin Shuo's figure flickered, instantly appearing in the sky above the Ancestral World. With his five fingers slightly spread, this Limit-Breaking Secret Realm that he had recovered instantly fell back into his palm, as if it were a spherical toy.

The next instant, True Person Jin Shuo's majestic divine sense sank into the ball-like Limit-Breaking Secret Realm.

The moment his divine sense sank in, his expression changed instantly.

It became incomparably ugly!

The Divine Path True Meaning inside had already disappeared by ninety-five percent.

However, what made him most unacceptable was that the complete medium-world Law Star inside only had a trace left.

More than ninety-five percent of the Law Power was gone!

This was the most precious thing!

The next instant, True Person Jin Shuo's roar pierced through the Heaven-Reaching Golden Pillar of the Eight Desolations Wang Ting.

"Ju Zhang, what on earth have you been doing!"
