Chapter 601: Difficult Choice

Great Desolation Domain.

The Blood God Sect Master, shrouded in blood light, brought the reinforcement he had urgently invited, the Worshiping Battle Divine Sect Master, and stepped into the Great Desolation Domain. The moment he did, he accelerated and left.

At the same time, he transmitted to the Worshiping Battle Divine Sect Master, "Brother Dao, just fly rapidly to the east. The situation is urgent, I will go one step ahead, find the target, and then report the position to you."

"Good."

The moment he stepped into this Eighth-Tier star domain, the Worshiping Battle Sect Master understood that the Blood God Sect Master controlled the authority of heaven and earth of the star domain before him, and quite a bit of it.

Under the blessing of the authority of heaven and earth, the speed would definitely be much faster than his.

Although he was a reinforcement invited, the Worshiping Battle Sect Master was still flying rapidly with all his might.

The main reason was still that the Blood God Sect Master said he had discovered the traces of the Seven Kill successor when asking for help.

Previously in the Wuchen Star Domain, he had suffered a not-so-small loss at the hands of the Seven Kill successor. Now that he heard there were traces of the Seven Kill successor, he was naturally fully cooperative.

If he could join forces with the Blood God Sect Master to slay this Seven Kill successor, not only could he recover the lost items of their Worshiping Battle Divine Sect, but he could also remove a major threat.

A Sixth-Tier Ninth-Layer peak expert who could slay an Eighth-Tier peak expert... this current-world human peerless genius was simply too great a threat.

On the other side, the Blood God Sect Master directly used fifty percent of the authority of heaven and earth to bless himself, and his speed also reached the extreme.

Just five breaths ago, he had received an urgent report from his confidant in the Great Desolation Domain, saying that the Guicheng military town had been attacked. Only one attacker had been discovered so far, and the cultivation was only at the Sixth-Tier Ninth-Layer peak.

But the combat power was so strong that it was perverted, killing Eighth-Tier experts like cutting melons and vegetables.

The first moment he saw the information, the Blood God Sect Master had a judgment.

Seven Kill successor.

That Seven Kill successor who was wreaking havoc in the Eight Desolations Domain had this time harmed his Great Desolation Domain.

Originally, the Blood God Sect Master had wanted to go to support alone.

But last time he exchanged moves with the Seven Kill successor, during the exchange, his divine soul was injured.

If he rushed over, he might not be able to take him down.

As his thoughts turned, the Blood God Sect Master asked the Worshiping Battle Sect Master for help at the first opportunity.

Since the "Ancestor Sacrifice" opened by Envoy Ju Zhang, the King of the Eight Desolations, a month ago, directly welcoming two Ninth-Tier experts, one of whom was even at the Ninth-Tier late stage, both the Worshiping Battle Sect Master and the Blood God Sect Master had a strong sense of crisis.

Although both of them had hidden hands that hadn't been exposed behind their backs.

But who knew if Envoy Ju Zhang, the King of the Eight Desolations, had any hidden backhands under his overt power?

Under the crisis, the two hit it off immediately.

Immediately, with the Blood God Sect Master contributing effort and the Worshiping Battle Sect Master paying a portion of treasures, they set up a spatial teleportation array for exchange in Blood Moon City and Bai Hu Star City.

It could allow Bai Hu Star City and Blood Moon City to watch over and help each other.

At a critical moment, the top combat powers of both sides could quickly merge into one.

This layout, the original intention of the cooperation between the two sides, was aimed at the possible pressure or annexation by Envoy Ju Zhang, the King of the Eight Desolations.

But he hadn't expected it to be used here first.

The Worshiping Battle Sect Master was also extremely capable; just two breaths after his request for help was sent, he arrived.

This time, he was determined to deal with this Seven Kill successor.

This Seven Kill successor had harmed his Blood God Sect too severely; the left and right protectors and many Eighth-Tier experts had all been harmed.

Of course, the Blood God Sect Master still had other thoughts.

Who would believe that the Seven Kill successor who could make Envoy Ju Zhang, the King of the Eight Desolations, hunt him down relentlessly, didn't have a great secret?

He also wanted to obtain it.

While flying rapidly, he mobilized the authority of heaven and earth to sense the intruder.

Because he had managed this Great Desolation Domain for a long time, and there weren't too many humans in the Great Desolation Domain, he had marked them one by one, so he could quickly find the intruder.

But after mobilizing it slightly, he frowned.

Except for the intruder aura of the Worshiping Battle Sect Master, there was no one else.

Strange!

Halfway there, the Blood God Sect Master received another urgent report from his Ninth-Tier subordinate Hu Ye.

After just one glance, the blood light around his body trembled violently, and he almost fell from the sky.

Four Eighth-Tier experts were slain, Ninth-Tier expert Guli died in battle, Left Protector Fan Kai died in battle, one-third of the grain and grass were burned, and currently, the intruder had escaped, and they were organizing a large army to track him.

The Blood God Sect Master's lips were trembling.

This was in the middle of ten thousand troops.

With this lineup, even a Ninth-Tier expert could be left behind.

A Sixth-Tier Ninth-Layer expert came and went freely, and could even cause such great losses.

And the most capable assistant, Left Protector Fan Kai, had died in battle again?

The Blood God Sect Master felt incredibly stifled.

Because he couldn't track the intruder's aura, he instinctively thought the target had escaped, but he still arrived at the Guicheng military town at the first opportunity.

At this time, the sky was still pitch black, but the entire military city was brightly lit. With the Blood God Sect Master's eyesight and perception, he could see everything clearly, and could even analyze it roughly.

According to the report, the direct losses caused by this Seven Kill successor were not large, but the surprise attack on the military camp in the middle of the night also caused certain losses due to the chaos itself.

However, these were losses of buildings and grain.

The key was manpower.

In the middle of ten thousand troops, Ninth-Tier Guli and Left Protector Fan Kai were slain.

And looking at the description, it was in a very short time, possibly not exceeding two or three breaths.

That was a Ninth-Tier expert.

The Blood God Sect Master considered himself to not have the ability to do that.

In an instant, the Blood God Sect Master's heart became terrified.

Sure enough, caution was correct.

Fortunately, he had invited the Worshiping Battle Sect Master.

Otherwise, if he had confronted him, it would likely have been very difficult to leave him behind, and he might even have suffered a huge loss.

"It can be determined that Fan Kai was the first to be killed."

Under the blood light, the Blood God Sect Master's expression was incredibly ugly.

This loss, how could it be described as heavy.

But what was even more critical was another problem.

His great plot had been exposed.

Everything seen here, this Seven Kill successor would inevitably pass it to the current world's humans.

Those scheming guys, after knowing the detailed information, would definitely be able to deduce his great plot to eight or nine out of ten.

There would absolutely be precautions.

Thinking of this, the Blood God Sect Master was even angrier, wishing he could skin the Seven Kill successor alive.

His great plot that he had planned and laid out for so long!

Originally, there was a chance to implement it within a month or two.

He would be able to unify the current world and become the true master of the human race.

At that time, those Star Monarchs who had once stepped on him and were high above would, like him, become stray dogs!

Pity!

It's over!

The Blood God Sect Master had even thought about exploding right now and leading the army to kill their way into the current world.

But after thinking about it, he rejected this idea.

The Ninth-Tier experts of the current world in the Star River Battlefield had not fallen into a trap; his army killing their way into the current world wouldn't take long before it became his side's power fighting against the current world, and it wouldn't take long before they were surrounded and annihilated by the returning Ninth-Tier experts.

At most, he would feel refreshed and vent his anger, but the foundation of his standing would disappear.

Not worth it!

Also, the Great Desolation Domain had always been a Seventh-Tier star domain guarded by his other identity, Cai Shu.

Over these years, it had always been peaceful.

Now that a peerless genius of the current world had suddenly come to explore, it showed that the current world's humans had already become suspicious of his identity as Cai Shu.

Then a large sweep of the relevant forces related to him, Cai Shu, should start immediately. Although it had been so many years, most of the forces related to Cai Shu had withdrawn, but there were still a few.

Must notify them immediately.

"Brother Yu has such a great hand, actually getting such a star domain. If the power of this star domain were to be exposed, I am afraid that even Envoy Ju Zhang, the King of the Eight Desolations, would have to look at Brother Yu with new eyes." The Worshiping Battle Sect Master, who had arrived, saw the military power of the Guicheng military town, and his heart was also full of shock.

He had thought that the Blood God Sect had hidden power, extremely likely hiding one Ninth-Tier expert and several Eighth-Tier experts.

But he hadn't expected that so many elites were hidden.

And it was the kind that could quickly march to the Eight Desolations Continent.

"And it's the kind that can quickly mobilize to the Eight Desolations Continent."

"Compared to your foundation, Dao Brother, I am still far behind."

The two contemporary titans exchanged a few words of mutual flattery and then said no more; they understood each other without needing to speak plainly.

The Blood God Sect Master was also unwilling to let the Sect Master of the Worshiping Battle Sect know too much about the secrets of this Eighth-Tier Star Domain.

Not long after, he sent the Worshiping Battle Sect Master away.

After seeing the Worshiping Battle Sect Master off, the Blood God Sect Master began to continue investigating the overall details of this attack.

The first thing he did was to summon Yan Jing, an Eighth-Tier late-stage powerhouse whom he had appointed as the Domain Master to guard this star domain for a long time, and without a word, he slapped him across the face.

"Speak, what exactly were you doing when the successor of the Seven Kills invaded?

If you had been even slightly attentive, you could have discovered the intruder immediately.

How could it have led to such a great disaster!"

When the Blood God Sect Master first arrived, he wished he could skin Yan Jing alive.

Because he could not stay in the Great Desolation Domain permanently, when he left, he had given two-tenths of the seven-tenths of the Heaven and Earth Authority he had obtained to Yan Jing.

Its main purpose was to discover invading humans from the current world in a timely manner.

He had warned him repeatedly, telling him to keep an eye on it at all times.

In fact, the Heaven and Earth Authority would spontaneously issue warnings; normally, one would be jolted awake even in their sleep.

It had discovered intruders several times before, but this time, Yan Jing had been seriously derelict in his duty.

Domain Master Yan Jing covered his face, looking aggrieved, "Sect Master, your subordinate truly did not neglect his duty. This matter is truly bizarre; the Heaven and Earth Authority never issued a warning.

Even when this successor of the Seven Kills was wreaking havoc in the Gui City military town, the Heaven and Earth Authority still did not issue any warning.

In my sensing, the successor of the Seven Kills was just like an alien native.

Because of this, after he escaped, I lost track of him on the spot."

"What?"

At this, the Blood God Sect Master's expression changed, and in an instant, his hair stood on end.

A chill shot straight from his tailbone to his forehead!

"Is that true?"

"Sect Master, it is absolutely true! If the Heaven and Earth Authority could have warned me or tracked him, before you arrived, we would have already led our elites in military formation to search in a certain direction.

Instead of sending troops to search in all directions," Yan Jing said, feeling wronged.

【Hu Ye, return immediately and come to my side.】

【All teams searching outside, whether they are Sixth-Tier, Seventh-Tier, or Eighth-Tier, are to return in combat formation.】

The Blood God Sect Master was truly afraid.

This successor of the Seven Kills had killed the Ninth-Tier early-stage alien Gu Li amidst ten thousand troops; if he were to launch a counterattack, one wrong move and he would be in big trouble.

After a hundred breaths, another Ninth-Tier powerhouse, Hu Ye, returned to his side, and only then did the Blood God Sect Master feel at ease.

From what he had seen, the successor of the Seven Kills would not dare to engage two Ninth-Tier experts head-on.

So what should be done next?

In an instant, the Blood God Sect Master faced a difficult choice!

He had already ruled out leading a large army to invade the current world directly.

The original best plan was to keep Hu Ye guarding the Great Desolation Domain with heavy troops, waiting for the turning point in the Star River Battlefield.

He could not control the war directly, but he could influence it by affecting the King of the Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang. As long as the Ninth-Tier humans of the current world were heavily damaged by them, the Great Desolation Domain could still directly invade the current world and complete his great cause of returning to the current world.

But the problem now was that this successor of the Seven Kills was too deadly!

And the Heaven and Earth Authority wouldn't issue a warning.

He didn't know the reason, but he believed Yan Jing had no need to lie to him with such a clumsy excuse, and he had to believe it.

Caution is the priority in all things!

What if this successor of the Seven Kills killed his way back into the Great Desolation Domain?

With this ability to come and go without a trace, unless he stayed in the Great Desolation Domain permanently, the Eighth and Ninth-Tier experts of the Great Desolation Domain would inevitably be wiped out by the successor of the Seven Kills.

It wouldn't take much; one or two more times and they would be finished.

Then the foundation of his Blood God Sect would also be wiped out.

Although he still had a few Eighth-Tier experts hidden in other star domains, he really only had two Ninth-Tier experts hidden, and now only one remained.

The cultivation of these two Ninth-Tier experts was also because the Eighth-Tier peak experts Gu Li and Hu Ye were favored by the Heaven and Earth Will and were natives of the Eighth-Tier Great Desolation Domain, possessing natural advantages. He hadn't spent much cost to cultivate these two into Ninth-Tier experts, using them as his trump cards.

He hadn't expected that one would be killed today.

After a long while, the Blood God Sect Master made an extremely difficult decision.

Retreat!

He was going to withdraw most of the elites of the Great Desolation Domain to the Eight Desolations Continent, especially the Ninth, Eighth, and Seventh-Tier powerhouses, as well as some of the Sixth-Tier.

Leaving only a small portion of alien races to garrison it.

If the successor of the Seven Kills came again, let him wreak havoc; he couldn't take away the Eighth-Tier Great Desolation Domain anyway.

Save the people and lose the land, both people and land will be saved!

Save the land and lose the people, both people and land will be lost!

Ancient holy words!

Besides this, he had decided that he could no longer hoard points; he had to quickly consume points to improve his own strength.

If the people were truly gone, the points would be useless.

Xu Jin, who had retreated to the 13th Garrison City, first reported his safety to his teacher, Qi Shanye, and then, after telling his teacher to also pay attention to his own safety, he stepped directly into the Star Dome Secret Realm of the Star-Plucking Tower branch.

With a thought, the primordial spirit of the Blood God Sect's Left Protector, Fan Kai, whom he had captured alive, appeared before him.

The released Fan Kai was looking at Xu Jin with a terrified expression.

The moment he was captured alive, he had continuously tried to activate the Blood Flame Purifying World Great Art, preparing to self-destruct his primordial spirit in order to be reborn using the Blood Drop Divine Pattern.

But he discovered with horror that no matter how he activated it, the Blood Flame Purifying World Great Art could not be used!

It couldn't be used!

This terrified Fan Kai.

This meant that the other party could imprison him permanently.

"Protector Fan, we meet again."

"It's you... how are you again..." Fan Kai was truly crying without tears; this was the second time he had been killed by this successor of the Seven Kills.

"Hehe, to make a long story short, tell me the secret agents your Blood God Sect has arranged in the current world to receive your army, and I will give you a way to live," Xu Jin said.

Fan Kai remained silent.

"Otherwise, you can just wait to be imprisoned forever. You know the interrogation methods of the Ministry of Justice in the current world's government better than I do.

If you confess quickly now, I will let you go to be reborn, so that the Blood God Sect Master won't suspect you in terms of time.

You will also have a chance to make a comeback," Xu Jin said.

After pondering for a few breaths, Fan Kai whispered, "Really? Do you guarantee it?"

He knew the Sect Master's grand plan.

But the problem was, if he were trapped and tortured, what would the Sect Master's grand plan have to do with him if it succeeded?

"Your Protector Lin was captured alive by me in the Seventh-Tier Great River Star Domain a few days ago. He also made the same choice and obtained the chance for blood-drop rebirth from me," Xu Jin said.

"Protector Lin was also captured by you..." Fan Kai paused; he already believed it, because very few people knew that Protector Lin was in the Great River Star Domain.

Just by reporting the name of the star domain, he believed it.

But Protector Lin was really unlucky.

"If I tell you, will you let me go just like you let Protector Lin go?"

"Of course." Xu Jin promised readily.

Of course, whether Fan Kai would be as unlucky as Lin Mingshi and be captured alive again immediately, he didn't know.

"Fine, I'll talk." Fan Kai agreed readily.

"We have deployed a total of three reception teams in the current world, one in each of the three countries: Da Chen, Da Chu, and Da Hong. When acting, we will look at the actual situation on the Star River Battlefield before deciding in which country to open the star gate.

The identity of the contact person deployed in Da Chen is..."

As expected.

Xu Jin felt a slight chill in his heart and immediately reported this intelligence to the National Master, Cheng Yuexiao.
