Chapter 570: Sudden Wealth

Eight Desolations Continent.

The King of Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang, looked remotely at the Channel 17 location opposite. After waiting for a full half-hour, no one else killed their way over from the opposite channel.

He was quite disappointed.

In the rear, hidden in the clouds, the Blood God Sect Master Yu Shen and the Worship Battle God Sect Master Ji Qu were also somewhat disappointed.

Envoy Ju Zhang had arrived the earliest. On the way, he discovered that the vanguard scouts he had sent out were almost completely wiped out, but there was still one Seventh-Tier surviving scout.

After asking only a few questions, a bad premonition arose in Envoy Ju Zhang's heart.

This Seventh-Tier Green-Winged scout said that a man skilled in Thunder-type star arts had ambushed them; the others had all died in battle, and only he had luckily escaped back.

Only after checking his spirit did Envoy Ju Zhang confirm that this surviving scout was telling the truth.

Unfortunately, this scout actually said he hadn't seen the man's appearance, and he hadn't sensed his cultivation aura clearly either.

This was indeed the truth.

Before they had even met face-to-face, he had been frozen, and then he had been captured alive.

Because of this, although Envoy Ju Zhang suspected that this expert skilled in Thunder-type star arts who ambushed his scouts was the Seven-Kill descendant he had been chasing, he wasn't certain.

However, since the human expert on the opposite side liked to ambush, he arranged bait—that Purple-Winged scout—wanting to bait this Thunder-type star art expert over.

He hadn't expected that it would bait Tianyang Xingjun Cangming, who was also a Ninth-Tier expert, over instead.

The Eight Desolations Continent was Envoy Ju Zhang's home field, with at least 40% of the Heaven and Earth authority blessing, making his combat power extremely strong.

In a short time, he had gained a huge advantage.

But because of this, he had scared Tianyang Xingjun Cangming into retreating.

Regarding this, Envoy Ju Zhang shouted in regret.

He should have feigned weakness at that moment.

By feigning weakness, he could have led Tianyang Xingjun Cangming deep inside, then erupted to block Tianyang Xingjun Cangming's path of return.

As long as he could have dragged it out for a few dozen more breaths, Blood God Sect Master Yu Shen would have arrived.

At that time, they could have slain a Ninth-Tier expert.

If they could have slain a Ninth-Tier powerhouse of the mortal world before the war started, then the advantage on the Eight Desolations Continent side could be imagined.

He wouldn't dare say it would lock in the war situation in advance.

This battle already had a huge advantage.

At that time, just in terms of surface-level Ninth-Tier power, their Eight Desolations Wang Ting would have occupied a huge advantage; perhaps the backup plans he had prepared wouldn't even be needed.

But that fellow Tianyang Xingjun Cangming reacted extremely fast and didn't give him a chance.

Later, as two Ninth-Tier experts and a large number of Eighth-Tier experts arrived.

He still waited here to bait the enemy.

He truly hoped that the Ninth-Tier experts on the opposite side would all kill their way in; even if all three killed their way in, he wouldn't fear them.

Firstly, the Eight Desolations Continent was his home field, and secondly, he could maximize the use of that supreme treasure.

Unfortunately, they didn't come!

Then this battle could only end here.

He wasn't willing to take two Ninth-Tier experts and charge directly to the opposite Star River Battlefield to fight.

Because the home-field advantage of the mortal world's Ninth-Tier humans on the Star River Battlefield was also extremely obvious.

And his home-field advantage would be lost.

In this way, this war, after taking a detour, returned to the right track.

Next, when the star domain force field completely stabilized and elites of the Sixth Tier and below could pass through, that would be when the great war started.

At that time, this place would turn into a battlefield of flesh and blood.

Amidst the steady advance of elites of the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and even Seventh Tiers, they, these Ninth-Tier experts, would look for certain battle opportunities.

Looking for battle opportunities in certainty, rather than constantly wandering on the edge of danger to discover battle opportunities.

This was the top-tier privilege of these superiors.

As for now, what he worried about was another matter: had the Seven-Kill descendant actually returned to the Star River Battlefield?

If he hadn't returned, that would naturally be extremely good.

If he had returned, then he would truly want to vomit blood.

It had been so hard to wait for an opportunity that was bound to surround and annihilate him.

He could only wait and see in two days.

No matter what, the King of Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang, still extremely hoped that the Seven-Kill descendant was still on the Eight Desolations Continent.

Xu Jin, while following Great Chen Commander Mao Yue back to the Thirteen Guard City on the Eight Desolations frontline, also realized one point.

He should have lost the best opportunity to slay the King of Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang.

That was when Xu Jin discovered that the King of Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang, had rushed over first; if Xu Jin could have persuaded the three Star Lords in a very short time, taking the National Teacher and a group of Eighth-Tier experts, including Xu Jin, to turn back and kill them.

It was eight or nine out of ten that they could have hit a time difference and sniped the King of Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang, who had rushed over first.

Unfortunately, it was just a thought; this idea was impossible to realize.

It was absolutely impossible for the three Star Lords to trust Xu Jin and go all-in.

Guard Cities 11 to 15 were the guard cities built and garrisoned by the Great Chen side, basically covering the frontline garrisoned by Great Chen.

Guard City 13 was where the temporary Great Chen Marshal's Mansion was located.

At the same time, the Great Chen Star-Plucking Tower branch on the frontline was established here.

"The National Teacher will come over after the meeting. I have already arranged your residence. Also, if you have any needs, you can tell me directly.

Anything that can be satisfied will definitely be satisfied." Great Chen Commander Mao Yue was already over seventy years old, but he still looked like a middle-aged tough guy, only a few white hairs were faintly visible at his temples.

"There's nothing much. If possible, can you temporarily transfer Ning Yuchan, Kou Jing, Dong Zhao, Liu Qingzhu, and Luoshui Hou Song Shoujie to Guard City 13?" Xu Jin said.

"Why transfer them over?" Mao Yue was somewhat puzzled.

Xu Jin smiled without saying anything; the real purpose naturally couldn't be said. If Commander Mao didn't support it, he could only wait for the National Teacher to return.

Mao Yue was just stunned for a moment, and seeing Xu Jin not speaking, he didn't say anything more and nodded directly in agreement.

"No problem, I will arrange it immediately. However, several of them have military duties and need people to be arranged for rotation. If they come over, it might take an hour or two." Mao Yue said.

"No problem."

Seeing Xu Jin nod, this Great Chen Commander hesitated slightly. Seeing this, Xu Jin laughed directly, "Commander Mao, just say what you have to say. From today on, I will also be a soldier under your command."

"Xu Jin, were those Eighth-Tier experts really all killed by you alone?" Mao Yue looked at Xu Jin and asked. Although no matter how he analyzed it, from ten thousand angles, those Eighth-Tier experts could only have been killed by Xu Jin and couldn't have been given by others.

Even a biological father couldn't place such a great merit on Xu Jin.

If he really placed it, it would only harm Xu Jin.

However, looking at Xu Jin, whose cultivation aura was only at the peak of the Sixth Tier Ninth Layer, Mao Yue had a sense of unreality, which was why he asked this question.

"Commander Mao, they were all killed by me, but they weren't killed all at once. Instead, I ambushed them through guerrilla warfare over several months, killing and accumulating them one after another."

"The Eighth-Tier late-stage aliens too?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, this Great Chen Commander Mao Yue breathed a sigh of relief. "If that's the case, then I'm relieved! Then you can deal with the Eighth-Tier experts from all sides of the Star Palace yourself, without needing me and the National Teacher to deliberately guard against them.

In the future, you only need to carefully guard against the three Ninth-Tier Star Lords.

Don't give them a chance to play dirty.

You refused that fellow Wei Xu's request; you refused well!"

He hadn't expected it was for Xu Jin's safety.

These battlefield commanders, whether it was Great Chu's Lu Xiang or Great Chen's Mao Yue, gave Xu Jin a very good impression.

"Many thanks, Commander Mao."

As Mao Yue nodded, he reached into his bosom and took out a golden token imprinted with his aura, handing it to Xu Jin.

"Your current status is special, but it will still take some time for your specific position and rewards to be issued.

This is a war zone; walking without a military position is quite inconvenient.

Holding this token, you are the Military Law Inspector of my Great Chen war zone Marshal's Mansion. In the army, you are one rank higher than the officials, which also makes it convenient for you to walk around.

If there is anything you cannot solve, or if you encounter danger, you can contact me immediately, or use this token to trigger a warning. Anyone under Great Chen within a hundred miles who sees it will definitely come to rescue." Mao Yue said.

"Many thanks, Commander Mao!"

Xu Jin thanked him solemnly; it could be seen that Mao Yue was truly worried about his safety.

"If you are tired, rest for a while. When the National Teacher returns, I think he will look for you." After finishing, Mao Yue soared into the air and flew away quickly.

Xu Jin, holding the token given by Mao Yue, pushed open the door and walked into the residence arranged for him by Mao Yue in Guard City 13.

It wasn't big, a two-courtyard compound.

There were two young men of the Third Tier in the courtyard. Seeing Xu Jin enter, they knelt down in a hurry, "Subordinate greets the Army Lord."

After several breaths, Xu Jin finally figured it out.

It turned out that the courtyard Mao Yue arranged for him, although not big, was of a specification that only Army Lords and Vice Army Lords could enjoy; after all, it was the frontline.

It was the same level as Uncle Xuan Hu Army Lord Chai Ce.

This treatment was truly sufficient.

Spending a quarter of an hour, he took a comfortable bath, washed away the dust from his body, and while waiting for the National Teacher to arrive, Xu Jin started to tally his harvest.

In the battle at Channel 17, Xu Jin had harvested another twenty-one Eighth-Tier star cores and a hundred Seventh-Tier star cores.

Six pairs of wings, among which one pair was Eighth-Tier.

Cleaning out all the valuable parts from the bodies of one alien after another, Xu Jin pushed all the bodies of the seventy-plus aliens into the courtyard, piling them up like a small mountain.

In a while, when the National Teacher returned, he would hand them over to the National Teacher to deal with.

On the National Teacher's side, these Seventh-Tier and Eighth-Tier alien bodies could still exert quite a bit of residual heat.

Xu Jin himself, however, sorted out the harvest of this wave.

Especially tallying the Sumeru space of that Eighth-Tier Silver Horn City Lord.

Previously, Xu Jin had only glanced at it and realized that the wealth in this Sumeru space was comparable to Left Protector Fan Kai.

Of course, most of it should have belonged to the Eight Desolations Wang Ting.

After a slight tally, a look of joy appeared in Xu Jin's eyes!

The Eighth-Tier star cores in the Silver Horn City Lord's Sumeru space weren't many, only sixty-plus, much fewer than what Xu Jin had in his hands.

But there were many Seventh-Tier star cores; there were over 1,200 Seventh-Tier star cores.

Besides that, there were over 2,000 Seventh-Tier star jade tablets.

The next instant, Xu Jin's gaze froze—Eighth-Tier star jade tablets!

Xu Jin saw Eighth-Tier star jade tablets for the first time; the starlight flickering out was incomparably pure, looking as if it were a scattered star.

Unfortunately, there were only three pieces!

Besides that, there were over seventy types of materials from the Seventh-Tier aliens.

In this way, counting Xu Jin's previous inventory, the materials Xu Jin had on hand that could be used to exchange for Thousand Star Token points were plenty.

Currently, Xu Jin had previously accumulated 271 Eighth-Tier star cores from killing Eighth-Tier experts, and now the total directly reached 336.

Most of them were Eighth-Tier early-stage.

Previously, there were 920 Seventh-Tier star cores, and there were eleven types of materials from Eighth-Tier aliens.

Now, after tallying, the number of Seventh-Tier star cores directly reached 2,180, and the number of various Seventh-Tier materials totaled ninety-three.

Among these, the materials Xu Jin harvested from Seventh-Tier aliens himself weren't actually too many, only twenty-plus.

And the total number of Seventh-Tier star jade tablets also broke the 4,000 mark for the first time.

But what made Xu Jin most joyful was the number of Seventh-Tier Pure Pearls, which were seventy.

This harvest was huge.

Just these seventy Seventh-Tier Pure Pearls were enough for Xu Jin to condense the twentieth floor of his Cloud Tower.

And there was still a surplus from the harvest from Fan Kai previously.

For this harvest, Xu Jin had only one word: Awesome!

Unfortunately, he didn't see any Eighth-Tier Pure Pearls.

Besides that, there were three Sixth-Tier spiritual herbs and fifteen Fifth-Tier spiritual herbs.

There were also various other heaven and earth treasures, all of which were very valuable.

Xu Jin now had only one thought: Cultivate!

Transform all these cultivation resources into cultivation base in the shortest possible time!

At that time, his cultivation base and strength would definitely skyrocket.

It might even be possible to achieve "Connecting Heaven and Earth"!
