Chapter 579: Executing Chai Ce Before the Ten Thousand Army

Yangdu Battle City, central army camp.

Profound Tiger Army Lord Chai Ce sat imposingly on the commander's chair on the point-general platform. The ten thousand elites of the Profound Tiger Army, who had been ordered to form a battle formation by Left Adjutant Che Rong, were still lined up below the point-general platform.

On the point-general platform, Right Adjutant Sun Zi, who had been controlled and thrown down by Xu Jin using Green Shadow Thousand Weaves, had now turned into a pile of minced meat.

It was because Army Lord Chai Ce had killed him with a single palm not long after returning.

Not only that, the confidants of Right Adjutant Sun Zi and Left Sima Che Rong were also ordered by Chai Ce to be beheaded in the name of colluding with evil, and military law was carried out.

More than forty heads rolled around, and the entire point-general platform looked as if it had been splashed with blood.

Many heads had their eyes wide open in anger, not knowing until their deaths what military law they had broken.

Marquis of Yangdu, Chai Ce, sitting imposingly on the commander's chair, scanned the ten thousand elites below. Although his gaze was wandering, his momentum was like a ferocious beast.

There was one thing he wasn't sure about.

At this time, did the newly promoted Domain-Suppressing Wang Xu Jin come to his Yangdu Battle City to make arrests deliberately?

Or was it a coincidence because that idiot Wei Xu somehow leaked his tracks?

Why did he say it was this time point?

Because under the command of Profound Tiger Army Lord and Marquis of Yangdu, Chai Ce, there were a total of sixty thousand elites, with forty thousand fierce warriors stationed in Yangdu Battle City previously.

Including his elite-of-the-elite personal guard camp.

Although there were only one thousand people, their cultivation was at least fifth-tier mid-to-late stage.

It was no exaggeration to say that if it were the Yangdu Battle City of the past, with the personal guard camp and forty thousand elites all present, even Cheng Yuexiu, who had now broken through to the ninth tier, would have to be polite.

The power of a battle formation, as long as they were true elites, as long as they were mobilized, as long as there were ten thousand of them, and as long as they were commanded properly, even an eighth-tier peak expert would not dare to challenge them.

But now, because of the Eight Desolations front line, the entire present world was mobilizing troops toward the Eight Desolations front line, and most of his Profound Tiger Army elites had been transferred to the Eight Desolations front line.

Considering the war, he had also been ordered to transfer his personal guard camp, which he had spent massive resources to build, to the Eight Desolations front line.

And this time, there was an emergency in Yangdu City, so he could only rush back alone. The personal guard camp couldn't make it in time, and couldn't be mobilized like that.

If they had followed him over, the intention of relying on troops to demand respect would have been obvious.

As for Wei Xu, that was when they were cooperating before. Wei Xu asked him for a quiet room, saying it was for setting up an emergency contact backup formation.

He had checked it at the time and found nothing unusual.

He didn't expect that this scoundrel would actually resurrect with a drop of blood in his camp.

He figured it must have been a cunning rabbit's den prepared long ago.

The only surprise was that he didn't expect that idiot Wei Xu to have been planted with a tracking secret technique involving the divine soul without knowing it.

This directly dragged him into the vortex as well.

If one really wanted to argue, he would definitely have to bear responsibility.

But this bit of responsibility, even if he bore it, was of no consequence to him.

The key was, he couldn't determine if he was just being implicated, or if Cheng Yuexiu and the others wanted to kill two birds with one stone and deal with him as well?

Therefore, the elites below, form the battle formation and wait!

Next, it was either a complete falling out or continuing to collude.

He had already found a retreat long ago.

But at this moment, he already regretted rushing over. If he were among the elite army on the front line, he would have more confidence and more room for maneuver.

And the reason he finally rushed over was mainly because all his hard work over the years was in the Profound Tiger Army, all in the Star River Battlefield.

If he really stepped onto the retreat, then all this hard work would likely be in vain.

He was somewhat unwilling, and even more unwilling!

So he was still considering, still needing to obtain information from all sides to make a final judgment and choice!

The Star-Plucking Token in his palm was flashing rapidly with starlight.

Chai Ce was constantly exchanging information with his confidants on the front line, as well as the confidants in the army he had deliberately cultivated over the years.

Especially the movements of Commander Mao Yue and Grand Master Cheng Yuexiu.

Unfortunately, because of the major change triggered by Wei Xu in the Star River Commander's Mansion, these two had been outside for half a day, and their whereabouts were unknown.

What made him feel at ease was that there were no unusual movements on the front line.

Other brother units also had no signs of mobilizing toward his army.

Everything looked as if he had just been implicated by Wei Xu.

Thinking about it, it made sense.

He was one of the few eighth-tier Army Lords in Chen Guo. At such a time of war, who would dare to move against him?

While pondering, Chai Ce felt settled.

A dozen breaths later, Chai Ce suddenly raised his head and looked at the distant horizon.

On the distant horizon, a beam of thunder light was fleeing rapidly.

It was the returning Xu Jin.

Because he had continuously used the Space Directional Shift star technique to track Wei Xu, his divine soul power was exhausted, so Xu Jin deliberately found a place to take a nap for a quarter of an hour using Dream Warmth.

It didn't matter if he was a quarter of an hour late.

Moreover, the Grand Master and Commander Mao also needed time to rush over.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for Xu Jin to end this.

Mainly, Xu Jin didn't want to kill these ordinary Profound Tiger Army soldiers.

Most of them were unaware.

"Your Highness Domain-Suppressing King!"

Seeing Xu Jin return, Chai Ce, who was sitting imposingly, stood up and bowed to Xu Jin, who was flying through the air.

With just a shift of his gaze, the ten thousand Profound Tiger Army elites below, as if they were a single entity, suddenly raised their heads and looked at the sky, like a ferocious tiger waiting to devour someone.

The aura was terrifying!

That was to say, the battle formation was only formed, and the star power had not yet risen and been activated; otherwise, Xu Jin would definitely not dare to come down at this moment.

As long as the battle formation was not fully activated, Xu Jin was not afraid.

Xu Jin's gaze turned to Marquis of Yangdu, Chai Ce, meeting his piercing gaze. With his star power restrained but his divine soul fully alert, he slowly landed.

The next instant, he saw Chai Ce wave his hand, and the ten thousand elites in the battle formation below bowed in unison, "Greetings, Domain-Suppressing King."

The sound was thunderous, and the killing intent soared to the sky.

Even though Xu Jin was prepared, he was still startled by this action.

If it weren't for the Space Shift star technique and the Seven-Kill Dragon-Escaping Stakes, Xu Jin would have been terrified into flapping his wings and fleeing the moment the battle formation moved just now.

Accumulating earth into a mountain.

Xu Jin alone could easily kill hundreds or thousands of fourth, fifth, and sixth-tier elites.

But as long as the power of these hundreds or thousands of elites was unified and accumulated, Xu Jin alone would not dare to clash head-on.

Especially with an eighth-tier expert on the side.

Keeping a smile on his face, Xu Jin's heart was filled with sudden killing intent.

Deterrence!

Whether it was the ten thousand elites forming a battle formation to welcome him, or the action just now, it was all Marquis of Yangdu Chai Ce's deterrence and warning.

This scoundrel's intention of rebellion or relying on troops to demand respect was already obvious.

Not to mention that he knew this scoundrel was colluding with the Worship Battle Divine Sect before; even if he didn't know, he had to deal with him now.

If he let this scoundrel cause chaos, how many innocent Chen Guo warriors would die miserably because of him.

"Army Lord Chai, I was previously ordered to track Wei Xu, and I didn't expect to track him to Yangdu Battle City. I discovered that your subordinates, Left Sima Che Rong and Right Adjutant Sun Zi, seemed to have the intention of shielding Wei Xu?

Army Lord Chai, what explanation do you have for this?" After landing, Xu Jin directly questioned him.

Upon hearing this question, Chai Ce breathed a sigh of relief.

Questioning was good.

Questioning on the spot meant that it was more of an implication rather than deliberately targeting him, so this hurdle was easier to pass.

If he avoided mentioning it, that would be trouble.

Immediately, Chai Ce also said with a helpless face, "I also just received the news, which is why I rushed over to handle it.

I also didn't expect these two to be guys who eat inside and out.

Look, I have already executed Sun Zi and his confidants on the spot.

I must thank the Domain-Suppressing King for helping me deal with Che Rong.

Afterward, after I have thoroughly investigated this matter, I will report to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to punish me."

Xu Jin stared at Chai Ce with burning eyes. The latter, seeing Xu Jin's reaction, smiled, "The Domain-Suppressing King doesn't believe me?"

"A little."

"That's normal."

Chai Ce nodded, "I also have the responsibility of negligence, but I have also investigated the reason. You also know that Wei Xu is the Great Marshal of the Star River Battlefield. Our troops are stationed here, and many things have to be dealt with by the Star River Battlefield Marshal's Mansion.

In the past, I was busy with cultivation, and many external affairs were handled by these two.

It is estimated that it was during this period that these two were bewitched, won over, and bought off by Wei Xu.

From today on, the internal affairs of my Profound Tiger Army will be rectified from top to bottom, and the internal affairs will be cleared. I also ask the Domain-Suppressing King to be a witness from the side."

The next instant, Xu Jin gave Chai Ce a thumbs up.

"Army Lord Chai is brilliant."

Chai Ce didn't understand and responded with a smile.

"Army Lord Chai, you have pushed this matter completely clean, but there is one thing, I wonder if Army Lord Chai still remembers?" Xu Jin laughed.

"What matter?" "Fourth-tier Fire Cloud Star Domain!"

Chai Ce showed a thoughtful look, as if he remembered something, and his gaze toward Xu Jin suddenly froze.

At the same instant, Xu Jin's eyes were bright and brilliant, becoming incomparably deep.

The moment Chai Ce looked over, he only felt the world change color instantly, and in an instant, the world changed, with thunder light dancing above his head.

"Domain-Suppressing King, who exactly are you?" Chai Ce was puzzled.

Boom!

Thunder light had already poured down on Chai Ce's head. Chai Ce was terrified, and with a roar, he ordered the army battle formation to attack.

But strangely, the ten thousand elites below were like wooden people, not moving at all.

As if they hadn't heard his military order.

And thunder light struck down one after another.

Every strike smashed a part of Chai Ce's figure.

Chai Ce's body was shrinking rapidly.

Chai Ce was even more terrified, constantly activating star power, constantly ordering the soldiers to attack, but no soldier moved.

Star Technique: Killing Dream!

In the dream, Chai Ce was trapped in a desperate situation, his world changed color by Xu Jin's thunder light, nearing death.

But in reality, on the point-general platform of the central army camp, Army Lord Chai Ce and Domain-Suppressing Wang Xu Jin were sitting side by side, seemingly communicating in low voices.

Domain-Suppressing Wang Xu Jin's face was full of smiles, it was just that the expression on Army Lord Chai Ce's face was a bit surprised.

However, because of the death of his confidants Che Rong and Sun Zi, the generals below, even if someone noticed the change in the Army Lord's expression, no one dared to act on their own.

No military order, no unauthorized movement!

In the Killing Dream, Chai Ce's expression became increasingly terrified.

A great terror emerged in his heart.

His figure was only one-fifth of what it was at the beginning.

He vaguely felt that if this continued, he would definitely die.

The treasure for saving his life must be used.

With a thought, he was about to take out the Worship Battle Divine Sect Hidden World Tianyang Zhenjun Seal, which he rarely showed to others, to fight the enemy.

That was a seven-star spiritual treasure of the divine soul type that he had refined for many years.

It was also his treasure for saving his life.

Under the bombardment of this treasure, anyone below the late-stage primordial spirit would be seriously injured.

Even an expert who had cultivated their divine soul cultivation to the peak of the primordial spirit would be injured, creating an opportunity for him to escape.

But as soon as the thought moved, his Hidden World Tianyang Zhenjun Seal was not taken out.

Suddenly, Chai Ce, who was being continuously bombarded by heavenly thunder, froze.

Wrong.

There was no spatial seal, and moreover, an ordinary spatial seal could not seal his Sumeru space.

There was a problem.

Illusion?

Mirage?

The next instant, Chai Ce, who was being bombarded by heavenly thunder, took the initiative to close his eyes.

Almost at the same instant, Xu Jin, who sensed Chai Ce's movement, exited the Killing Dream without hesitation.

Boom!

Five-Element Running Thunder Slash directly bombarded Chai Ce.

At this time, Chai Ce had also just opened his eyes.

The distance between the two was no more than half a meter. At such a close distance, the Five-Element Running Thunder Slash hit as soon as it was fired.

A high-grade seven-star spiritual armor emerged from Chai Ce's body, instinctively resisting Xu Jin's Five-Element Running Thunder Slash, but because there was no reinforcement from the owner, this high-grade seven-star spiritual armor was directly shattered.

Chai Ce's eyes widened in anger, just about to roar out a military order, because the residual power of the Five-Element Running Thunder Slash struck his head, causing smoke to rise from his head, and also drowning out his military order.

At the same instant, a massive spatial wave rose.

Space Star Technique: Void!

Silently, Chai Ce's head disappeared out of thin air, swallowed directly by spatial power.

The elite army below the point-general platform was stunned.

Although they reacted a bit to what was going on.

But the problem was, their Army Lord had actually been killed.

In this instant, he turned into a headless corpse.

The red blood that shot into the sky from the neck cavity directly caused the army, which had formed a battle formation, to stutter. Some roared, some screamed, some exclaimed.

At the same time, Chai Ce's primordial spirit appeared.

"All armies listen..."

The moment Chai Ce's primordial spirit appeared, the military order had just been roared out when a small point of thunder light exploded, directly causing Chai Ce's primordial spirit's aura to plummet. Hundreds or thousands of divine soul threads drilled into his primordial spirit body, instantly binding his primordial spirit like a zongzi.

Divine Soul Star Technique: Soul-Eroding Spirit Lock.

Below, some quick-reacting generals had already rushed toward the point-general platform, intending to attack Xu Jin.

More quick-reacting generals had already begun to command the battle formation.

But because of the shock and chaos of the ordinary soldiers, the battle formation could not be raised in an instant.

And Xu Jin did all this extremely quickly.

The moment the Soul-Eroding Spirit Lock star technique captured Chai Ce's primordial spirit alive, Xu Jin threw it into the Sumeru space at the first opportunity.

The moment he threw it in, he activated the Seven-Kill Dragon-Escaping Stakes.

Amidst the imperceptible divine soul fluctuations, Xu Jin disappeared.

As for the attacks of those few seventh-tier early-stage generals, before they could strike, Xu Jin had already disappeared.

Then, the ten thousand elites left behind in Yangdu Battle City were stunned.

Right in front of them, the Army Lord was assassinated by the Domain-Suppressing King.

And then, he ran away.

They didn't even leave behind a single hair.

In an instant, while many generals remembered military law, a huge panic welled up in their hearts.

Below the point-general platform, battle formation starlight also rose.

However, everything was already too late.

Xu Jin, who flashed a hundred li away, breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, under the situation just now, if it were truly an enemy army, he would have had a chance to break the battle formation.

As long as he rushed into the center of the battle formation, with the Heavenly Gang Thunder Chain as a tentacle, a fierce close-quarters rush would throw the battle formation into chaos, and it would be broken.

However, today's encounter reminded Xu Jin of the Chain Star Pattern.

The current Chain Star Pattern rank was only sixth-tier lower, only capable of five-link, and the Heavenly Gang Thunder Chain was originally three, so one link was fifteen.

If deduced to the seventh or eighth tier, it might be eight-link.

That would be twenty-four.

Wielding twenty-four Heavenly Gang Thunder Chains, as long as he rushed into the battle formation, he would be a human Gundam, and any battle formation would collapse at a single rush.

Suddenly, Xu Jin felt that next time he must deduce the Chain Star Pattern.

This thing's role at a critical moment was more important than cultivation.

【Grand Master, Chai Ce formed a battle formation to deter me, his primordial spirit has been captured alive by me. You rush to Yangdu Battle City as soon as possible to appease and control the Profound Tiger Army.】 Xu Jin sent a starlight message to the Grand Master at the first opportunity.

The difficulty of him slaying and capturing Chai Ce was great.

But the aftermath was more complicated and even harder work.

In the distance, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiu, who was rushing over, saw Xu Jin's starlight message, and his heart first relaxed.

What he feared most before was the outbreak of this hidden danger of Chai Ce, leading to internal chaos before the war, and then Chen Guo would truly suffer heavy losses.

Now that he heard Xu Jin had solved the culprit, he truly breathed a sigh of relief.

He had wanted to solve Chai Ce countless times.

But the problem was, he, the Grand Master, was extremely conspicuous.

Every time Chai Ce saw him, he was very careful.

And he was at the eighth-tier peak at the time, and didn't have a hundred percent certainty of taking Chai Ce down, so he had been enduring.

Now, this hidden danger had been resolved by Xu Jin.

But a few breaths later, a bitter look appeared in Grand Master Cheng Yuexiu's eyes.

More work to do.

The subsequent appeasement and handling matters were the truly complicated and big troubles.

He, this supreme ox and horse, would have to work twelve hours straight again.

Fortunately, in the Star River Battlefield, there was still the commander ox and horse Mao Yue to accompany him as an ox and horse!

At the same time, Xu Jin took out Chai Ce's captured primordial spirit and began the interrogation.
