Chapter 599: The Danger to the Current World

~15 min read 2,933 words

Blood God Sect Left Protector Fan Kai.

In this Guicheng military town, Xu Jin actually discovered the figure of the Blood God Sect Left Protector Fan Kai, whom he had previously slain.

However, Fan Kai's cultivation recovery was much faster than Xu Jin had anticipated.

According to the characteristics of the Blood Drop Divine Pattern, after being slain by Xu Jin last time, Fan Kai's cultivation should have dropped to the Seventh-Tier Ninth-Layer peak, and his divine soul cultivation should have also dropped to the Fourth-Tier late stage.

But in just a month or two, Fan Kai's cultivation had not only recovered to the Eighth-Tier mid-stage, but his divine soul cultivation had also recovered to the Fifth-Tier Primordial Spirit early stage.

And Fan Kai's Sumeru space had already been taken away by Xu Jin; it was likely that the treasures for this recovery were nine times out of ten given by the Blood God Sect Master.

In this Guicheng military town, the person in charge definitely couldn't be an alien; it could only be a Blood God Sect member of human origin.

Currently, it seemed the probability of Left Protector Fan Kai being the person in charge was extremely high.

It was just that this fellow was currently under the protection of heavy troops, so Xu Jin didn't dare to act rashly.

Xu Jin first found a relatively safe place and reported all his findings to Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao using the Mandarin Duck Seal.

【Military town? And two Ninth-Tier aliens? And a great array prepared for blood sacrifice? One hundred thousand alien elites?

Xu Jin, can you investigate the purpose of this blood sacrifice great array without exposing yourself?】

【Okay, I will try.】

At the same time, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao immediately convened a Star River Marshal's Mansion meeting. This time, the participants were only the four of them: Tianyang Xingjun Cangming, Tianyang Xingjun Zhen'e, Tianyang Xingjun Heavenly Yang, and himself.

Because it concerned Xu Jin's safety, Cheng Yuexiao was unwilling to let too many people know.

But the information Xu Jin fed back was very critical.

He already had some guesses, and if they were true, the consequences would be terrifying.

In the Star River Marshal's Mansion secret realm, the four giants of the current world held a closed-door meeting. Cheng Yuexiao first displayed the secret information Xu Jin had scouted to the other three.

"Blood sacrifice secret methods are not only possessed by the Blood God Sect; many ancient sects that were exterminated before had them. Tracing back to more than three thousand years ago, when various countries were fighting, blood sacrifice was also used."

Tianyang Xingjun Heavenly Yang was the oldest and had the widest knowledge, so he was the first to speak. "But regardless, the most fundamental role of blood sacrifice is only one."

"What role?" Cheng Yuexiao asked.

"Usually, blood sacrifice is only used to break limits or break through the shackles of heaven and earth.

Heaven and earth limits or heaven and earth rules normally have no possibility of change.

But ten thousand spirits' essence and blood have the effect of shielding and confusing the secrets of heaven.

The Blood God Sect gathered heavy troops in that Guicheng military town, especially with two Ninth-Tier experts.

Then the purpose of this blood sacrifice is very direct.

It is to allow the opened star gate to break limits at a critical moment, break through the shackles of heaven and earth, and allow these two Ninth-Tier aliens to pass through," Tianyang Xingjun Heavenly Yang said.

"Two Ninth-Tier experts won't be of much use in the Star River Battlefield," Tianyang Xingjun Zhen'e said.

"Then this heavy troop is aimed directly at our rear, the current world," Tianyang Xingjun Cangming said.

"Indeed, if one hundred thousand alien troops kill their way into the current world through the star gate, and there are even two Ninth-Tier experts, then in a short time, they can make the current world's sentient beings suffer and cause heavy losses.

But I have a question.

Spending such a huge cost just to make the current world suffer heavy losses?

Has the Blood God Sect Master's brain gone bad?

These two Ninth-Tier experts, as long as they are sent to the current world, although they can take advantage of a time difference, our human Ninth-Tier experts will quickly return, and these two Ninth-Tier aliens will inevitably be slain, and those Eighth-Tier experts won't be able to escape many.

Why do such a stupid thing of sending heads?" Tianyang Xingjun Heavenly Yang asked suspiciously.

"Normally, this is doing a stupid thing of sending heads! But what if the situation in the Star River Battlefield changes?" Cheng Yuexiao said.

"Yes, for example, our current world's human Ninth-Tier experts are all tied up on the Eight Desolations front line and cannot leave. Then this alien team can sweep through the current world in a certain amount of time," Tianyang Xingjun Cangming analyzed.

"Not only that, if there is an unpredictable change on the Eight Desolations front line. If the Eight Desolations aliens have added Ninth-Tier experts, not only can they completely drag us down, but they can even kill one or two of us.

Then this army will not be sweeping through the current world, but directly changing the world in the current world."

As soon as Tianyang Xingjun Zhen'e said this, everyone present had their expressions tighten.

If that were the case, it would be the worst consequence.

If the Star River Battlefield didn't have the powerful logistical support from the current world, it would inevitably be defeated within a month.

"Judging from this worst-case scenario, it can be roughly judged that there are more than three Ninth-Tier experts on the Eight Desolations alien side, and it is highly likely that there are Ninth-Tier experts we don't know about.

At the same time, there should be inside agents in the current world.

Otherwise, the location for violently opening the star gate from the inside is random.

Only if there are inside agents on the outside can they precisely deliver the army to the vital position in the shortest time," Cheng Yuexiao said.

"I estimate that there may be more than one reception point for inside agents.

It should be decided according to the war situation on the Eight Desolations front line where the star gate is opened in the center of whose territory," Tianyang Xingjun Heavenly Yang said.

These four most top-tier existences in the current world were all scheming people. Sitting together, they actually analyzed all possible situations in a short time, and it was even very close to the truth.

Suddenly, Chen Guo Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao proposed, "Should we play along?"

"How to play along?" Tianyang Xingjun Cangming asked.

"Simple, make preparations in advance, secretly transfer a portion of Eighth-Tier experts and at least two Ninth-Tier experts back to the current world, and Domain-Suppressing Wang Xu Jin also returns to the current world; he is also a Ninth-Tier combat power. Then the other four Ninth-Tier experts fight on the Eight Desolations front line, pretending to be surrounded.

As long as the Blood God Sect side dares to act.

The elites prepared in the current world will launch immediately, and annihilating them will be a matter of course.

Especially since everyone holds a small amount of current world authority, the advantage of fighting on home ground is extremely obvious," Cheng Yuexiao said.

"Then what if five or six Ninth-Tier experts really emerge on the Eight Desolations alien side and swallow the four Ninth-Tier experts acting as bait in one bite?" Tianyang Xingjun Cangming asked back.

Tianyang Xingjun Heavenly Yang also looked at Cheng Yuexiao upon hearing this; clearly, he was of the same opinion as Tianyang Xingjun Cangming.

Hearing this, Cheng Yuexiao was silent.

War, how could there be no risk.

But Tianyang Xingjun Cangming's meaning was that he wasn't willing to take any risk at all.

"Then what should we do? I estimate that even if we search the world in the current world, we won't be able to find the inside agents before they launch. Opening a star gate doesn't need too much movement and layout," Tianyang Xingjun Zhen'e said.

"Is the Domain-Suppressing King still in that Eighth-Tier star domain?" Tianyang Xingjun Cangming asked suddenly.

"Still there."

"Then let the Domain-Suppressing King find a way to investigate, or take a risk and capture a middle-to-high-level tongue, and try to see if we can find their specific landing location or where the inside agents are.

At worst, disturbing them will do.

It should make them delay their action," Tianyang Xingjun Cangming said.

"This is perhaps the most feasible method currently. Besides this, on our front line, it is best to select two Ninth-Tier experts to return to the current world to guard," Tianyang Xingjun Heavenly Yang said.

Hearing this, Cheng Yuexiao was furious. "Cangming, four current world Ninth-Tier experts join forces, plus more than eighty Eighth-Tier experts in the current world, and tens of thousands of elite troops as backing, yet you don't dare to act as bait to try.

Yet you let the Domain-Suppressing King face two Ninth-Tier experts and one hundred thousand troops alone in a foreign land.

What is your intention?

Is your life a life?

Is the Domain-Suppressing King's life not a life?"

"This... this isn't the Domain-Suppressing King happening to be there?" Tianyang Xingjun Cangming said sheepishly.

"You also happened to be there; you go if you want to," Cheng Yuexiao refused directly.

Tianyang Xingjun Heavenly Yang, Tianyang Xingjun Cangming, and Tianyang Xingjun Zhen'e looked at each other; for a time, this meeting fell into a stalemate.

If this problem couldn't be solved, let alone this meeting, the situation of the entire Star River Battlefield would fall into an extremely difficult situation. Because at least two Ninth-Tier experts had to be transferred back to the current world to guard.

But the problem was, if the Eight Desolations aliens really had more than five Ninth-Tier experts, then the four Ninth-Tier experts left behind wouldn't be enough.

Also at the same time, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao suddenly received a message sent by Xu Jin using the Mandarin Duck Seal.

【Grand Master, I am prepared to do something, try to see if I can capture the Blood God Sect Left Protector Fan Kai back as a tongue.】

【You don't want your life? Two Ninth-Tier experts? And so many Eighth-Tier and Seventh-Tier experts, just form a few military arrays and bombard you, and you will be finished.】 Cheng Yuexiao was truly anxious.

【Grand Master, under a surprise attack, it should be possible. You know my spatial star arts. And here it is a mixed army of humans and aliens, the possibility of me fishing in troubled waters is very high.】

【First tell me, do you have the certainty of retreating unscathed?】

【More than ninety percent.】

【But there are two Ninth-Tier experts. Although you defeated the Wood Spirit Palace Master, this Ninth-Tier expert, last time, if you can't fight quickly, once you are dragged down, it will still be very dangerous.】 Cheng Yuexiao was still very worried.

【Grand Master, actually last time, when I defeated the Wood Spirit Palace Master, I only used two moves.】

【Two moves?】

Cheng Yuexiao was stunned.

Even in the Star River Marshal's Mansion secret realm meeting room, Cheng Yuexiao's eye corners still twitched unnaturally.

His first reaction was that it was fortunate.

He was fortunate that he had suppressed the idea of fighting and competing with this kid last time.

Otherwise, being suppressed by this kid in three or five moves, where would he put his old face?

Cheng Yuexiao considered his combat power to be stronger than the Wood Spirit Palace Master, who was also a Ninth-Tier expert, but not by much.

Last time, although Xu Jin told him after defeating the Wood Spirit Palace Master that the Wood Spirit Palace Master had recognized him as a teacher, he had thought it was because Xu Jin had exchanged it with the Eighth-Tier Star Healing Star Pattern.

He hadn't expected that he had defeated the Wood Spirit Palace Master in just two moves.

【Because of this, the Wood Spirit Palace recognized me as a teacher, which can be considered willing. In the future, Grand Master, you can treat the Wood Spirit Palace Master as your own, but you can't trust him absolutely.】 Xu Jin replied.

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao heard this, and his liver and gallbladder trembled several times.

He was just in a state of having a tight face, with an expression that was stiff and dead.

Hearing this news, he bit his teeth with dead force, only then not causing his facial expression to change.

Too shocking!

Defeated in two moves, and then cleanly subdued the Wood Spirit Palace Master.

Too subversive to Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao's cognition.

If one were to make an analogy, his Cheng Yuexiao's strength was not much stronger than the Wood Spirit Palace Master, wouldn't that mean...

Suddenly, Cheng Yuexiao felt some regret.

If he had known it was subdued, he should have invited the Wood Spirit Palace Master and the Sumeru Palace Master to this meeting, and he could have had a better helper.

【Yes, also Grand Master, please rest assured! Compared to when I defeated the Wood Spirit Palace Master, my strength at this time has improved by at least ten percent or more.】

【Improved by ten percent or more...】

Cheng Yuexiao was speechless.

Was it so easy to improve the strength of a Ninth-Tier expert by ten percent?

It really is people comparing with people, making people angry.

Actually, this was still Xu Jin's conservative way of saying it. When Xu Jin defeated the Wood Spirit Palace Master, the Cloud Tower of heaven and earth had only been forged to sixty layers, but now, Xu Jin's Cloud Tower of heaven and earth had already been forged to seventy-one layers, and his divine soul cultivation had also greatly improved.

Theoretically, at this time, Xu Jin's combat power, compared to defeating the Wood Spirit Palace Master, had improved by at least twenty percent.

Saying ten percent or more was a humble way of saying it.

But even so, it made Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao's shock indescribable.

If he continued to grow like this, would Xu Jin's combat power be able to catch up with the strongest Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun?

【Good, since you have certainty, then you act independently! I only have one requirement: you must return safely and alive. This is the first goal and first task; others are secondary.

Remember, caution first.】

【Grand Master, rest assured.】

【By the way, do you want me to help you get some benefits?】

【Benefits?】 Xu Jin was puzzled.

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao briefly explained the current situation, and Xu Jin agreed happily, leaving it entirely to the Grand Master to handle.

Anyway, it was unexpected wealth.

A few breaths later, in the Star River Marshal's Mansion secret realm, Tianyang Xingjun Heavenly Yang took the initiative to speak again, "Grand Master Cheng, actually, we can let the Domain-Suppressing King capture a tongue or beat the grass to scare the snake within the smallest range and relatively safe margins.

It can buy us more time and information."

"The star gate is opened in No. 13 Garrison City. Why don't you, Heavenly Yang, transfer thirty Eighth-Tier experts to kill their way in and support the Domain-Suppressing King?"

"That would be an accident, the loss would be too great! And with too many people, retreating is also troublesome.

Besides, doesn't the Domain-Suppressing King know spatial star arts?" Tianyang Xingjun Heavenly Yang said.

"Yes, yes, yes," Tianyang Xingjun Cangming echoed.

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao pondered for a few breaths and suddenly said, "How about this, I will persuade the Domain-Suppressing Wang Xu Jin to take the risk, but we must win some benefits for him. Even the Emperor doesn't treat hungry soldiers poorly."

"That's fine, each family will contribute one Sixth-Tier spirit herb," Tianyang Xingjun Cangming took the initiative to say.

"Sending away a beggar?" Cheng Yuexiao glared abruptly, and then directly shouted at Tianyang Xingjun Cangming, "Why don't you go, and each family will give you a Sixth-Tier spirit herb as a reward, how about that?"

Tianyang Xingjun Cangming instantly stopped talking.

Just kidding, selling his life for three or four Sixth-Tier spirit herbs, then wasn't he stupid?

"Then change it to..." Tianyang Xingjun Heavenly Yang raised the price.

"Not enough."

To be honest, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao really wanted to blackmail some secret star patterns for Xu Jin, but unfortunately, the secret star patterns mastered by these families were already possessed by Xu Jin, and they were of higher rank.

It was a pity the Sumeru Palace Master didn't come.

Otherwise, taking the opportunity to get the lowest-tier Void Image Star Pattern for Xu Jin would have been perfect.

As long as there was an original, it would be simple for Xu Jin.

"Then what conditions do you want to open for the Domain-Suppressing King?" Tianyang Xingjun Cangming asked.

"Seventh-Tier divine soul spirit herbs," Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao opened the price.

This time, it was Tianyang Xingjun Zhen'e's turn to shake his head. "I really don't have this."

"I don't have it either," Tianyang Xingjun Cangming said.

Cheng Yuexiao was helpless, so he took a step back. "One Seventh-Tier spirit herb from each family, plus one Sixth-Tier divine soul spirit herb."

"Deal!"

Tianyang Xingjun Heavenly Yang made the decision. "However, on the Domain-Suppressing King's side, there must also be substantial battle results."
