Eight Desolations Continent, Blood Moon City.

The Worshiping Battle Sect Master, who had been sent out of the Eighth-Tier Great Desolation Domain in advance by the Blood God Sect Master, had just appeared when Elder Yue Qing of the Household Hall, having received the Blood God Sect Master's order, led people to welcome him respectfully.

"You have worked hard, Sect Master. My Sect Master has already ordered his subordinates to prepare wine, dishes, and a modest gift; I hope you will do us the honor."

The Worshiping Battle Sect Master looked at Yue Qing, whose cultivation was barely at the Eighth-Tier late stage, and smiled, "Very well, I cannot refuse Dao Brother Yu's kindness."

"Please, Sect Master." Elder Yue Qing led the way cautiously.

The next instant, the Worshiping Battle Sect Master's primordial spirit fluctuated, and the sensing of his Mingji Star Pattern spread unreservedly in all directions, covering the entire Blood Moon City in an instant.

Elder Yue Qing, who was extremely close, sensed it immediately; his expression froze, and he wore a bitter smile.

This matter was not easy to handle.

Someone was blatantly using a primordial spirit secret technique to investigate, right in front of him, yet he couldn't say anything.

This was a guest invited to help.

Moreover, he was not qualified to speak.

If anyone were to speak, it would have to be the Blood God Sect Master.

He could only let it be; he couldn't stop it.

Yue Qing was very helpless, but Qi Shanye, who was cultivating in the military camp, suddenly froze, and his expression became extremely strange.

Originally, he wouldn't have been able to sense it either.

But because Xu Jin had previously asked him to pay attention to the blood-colored star gate in the temple, his Mingji Star Pattern had been activated at its lowest level, silently sensing changes in all directions in order to tip off Xu Jin.

At this very moment, the Worshiping Battle Sect Master's Mingji Star Pattern was activated at full power without any concealment, which allowed Qi Shanye to sense it.

He even sensed that incomparably familiar aura.

After a brief shock, Qi Shanye immediately retracted the aura of his own secretly activated Mingji Star Pattern and then sent a starlight message to Mo Ji.

【Old Mo, guess whose aura I sensed in Blood Moon City?】

【Whose? It couldn't be that Jin'er has returned again.】

【Guess again.】

Just a quarter of an hour later, the Grand National Master, Cheng Yuexiao, appeared before Xu Jin with a look of anger.

"It's true."

"We have already captured him alive and searched out the temporary star gate array disk, as well as the star domain coordinates of the Great Desolation Domain."

"He is a deputy general under the Songzhou Governor's Mansion, with a cultivation of Fourth-Tier, Sixth Layer. He opened up a Sumeru space, but he is quite old. The reason has also been interrogated: his aptitude was limited, and there was no hope of breaking through. A few years ago, he borrowed the Blood God Sect's Myriad Spirit Blood Elixir and other resources to break through from the peak of the Third-Tier, Ninth Layer to the Fourth-Tier."

"It's fortunate that you asked it out."

"Otherwise, even if the country knew there was such an inside agent, if we investigated with great fanfare, we wouldn't have been able to find this person," National Master Cheng Yuexiao said.

"That's good, I was afraid that fellow Fan Kai was lying to me," Xu Jin said. "National Master, what about Da Hong and Da Chu? What are the results? If the results are all correct, I will give that fellow a chance for blood-drop rebirth."

"We have already notified them and are waiting for the results," Cheng Yuexiao said. "Do you not plan to hand him over? If you hand him over, you could exchange him for some benefits?"

"Letting him go has a greater effect."

"How so?"

"The fact that the inside agents were precisely removed will sooner or later reach the Blood God Sect Master. Surely not many people know about this. Who do you think the Blood God Sect Master will suspect then?"

"If we add fuel to the fire, I'm afraid this will be the beginning of the Blood God Sect's infighting," Xu Jin said.

"That's true."

There was another real reason that Xu Jin didn't mention.

That was the primordial spirit imprint that the Left Protector Fan Kai had placed in the primordial spirits of his two teachers.

Last time, Xu Jin had communicated with his teacher Qi Shanye, and after the Left Protector Fan Kai was killed for the first time, that primordial spirit imprint only dissipated by half and still existed.

Moreover, the Left Protector Fan Kai thought that the primordial spirit imprint was still there when he sensed it, so he didn't strengthen the control.

In other words, theoretically, after killing Fan Kai again this time, the primordial spirit imprints on his teacher Qi Shanye and his martial uncle Mo Ji would completely dissipate, and the two of them would soon regain their freedom.

Therefore, Fan Kai must be released.

After about half a quarter of an hour, National Master Cheng Yuexiao suddenly sent a message to Xu Jin, informing him that they had successfully captured the inside agents in Da Chu and Da Hong.

They were all small characters with low status and low cultivation, but they were hidden deep enough, and under normal circumstances, they would be extremely difficult to find.

With a thought, Xu Jin released the primordial spirit of the Left Protector Fan Kai from the Sumeru space.

As soon as he was released, Fan Kai said fearfully, "Have you caught them? If you have, you should release me according to our agreement."

"Sure."

Xu Jin chuckled, placed his palm directly on Fan Kai's primordial spirit, and activated Wen Meng, directly beginning to interrogate him in his dreams.

In any case, he was going to send Fan Kai away, so if he interrogated him in his dreams and triggered any restrictions, he would just consider it as having sent him away.

"Where is your Vice Sect Master, the Da Hong Emperor Yang Yun, currently?" This was what Xu Jin most wanted to know right now.

"I don't know; even the Sect Master can't contact him. Yang Yun has always wanted to fight for power; nine times out of ten, he has gone to find a place to cultivate in seclusion and break through, and he will only return after breaking through," Fan Kai replied.

"Does your Blood God Sect have any other hidden Eighth-Tier star domains besides the Great Desolation Domain?"

"The only Eighth-Tier star domain I know of is the Great Desolation Domain."

Xu Jin nodded upon hearing this; this was normal.

Eighth-Tier star domains were few and hard to conquer; it was already very impressive for the Blood God Sect to have conquered one.

"Besides the Ninth-Tier powerhouses in the Great Desolation Domain, does the Blood God Sect have any other hidden Ninth-Tier power?" This was another important question Xu Jin really wanted to know.

"As far as I know, there are none, but I don't know if the Sect Master has any."

"Does your Blood God Sect have any other members hidden among the high-ranking officials of the countries in the current world?"

"Yes."

"Who are they?"

Bang!

Fan Kai's primordial spirit collapsed without warning, and only strands of pure primordial spirit power began to drift away.

Xu Jin, with a gloomy expression, immediately activated his Mingji Star Pattern and lightning-fast found Fan Kai's Sumeru space imprint; it took less than a breath to pull out his Sumeru space.

Although Fan Kai's Sumeru space had already been looted by Xu Jin once, he didn't know if he had accumulated any good goods this time.

After just one glance, Xu Jin was slightly surprised.

He could only say that this Left Protector of the Blood God Sect was either highly valued by the Blood God Sect Master or was very good at accumulating wealth. Not to mention the various Fourth and Fifth-Tier spirit herbs that Xu Jin didn't care for, there were four Sixth-Tier spirit herbs for improving cultivation and two Sixth-Tier primordial spirit-type spirit herbs.

There were thousands of Star Jade Tablets, but what made Xu Jin happiest was that he had discovered five more Seventh-Tier Purification Beads and two Seventh-Tier Myriad Spirit Blood Elixirs.

He had just run out of cultivation resources recently, and these had been delivered to his door.

These five Seventh-Tier Purification Beads and two Seventh-Tier Myriad Spirit Blood Elixirs were enough for Xu Jin to condense a layer of the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower.

Xu Jin could refine the four Sixth-Tier spirit herbs into Seventh-Tier ones, which would be enough for him to condense more than half a layer of the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower.

Besides this, there were several Mandarin Duck Seals, all single pieces, which Fan Kai should have used for contact, and now they had been taken by Xu Jin again.

Immediately, Xu Jin prepared to send a starlight message to Qi Shanye and his martial uncle Mo Ji, wanting to ask if their primordial spirit imprints had dissipated.

The moment he was about to send the message, the Mandarin Duck Seal he used to contact them flashed with starlight first.

【Jin'er, did you kill the Left Protector Fan Kai again? The imprint in my primordial spirit suddenly dissipated, completely dissipated.】

Martial Uncle Mo Ji also sent a similar message.

Seeing this message, Xu Jin wore a smile.

It was finally done.

After so many twists and turns, the primordial spirit control on his teacher and martial uncle had finally been lifted.

The return of his teacher and martial uncle to the current world was just around the corner.

【Teacher, it was indeed me who killed him...】

After explaining, Xu Jin sent another starlight message, 【Teacher, there is no time to lose. I will sneak into the Eight Desolations Continent right now to meet you and return to the Star River Battlefield.

Lest we drag it out too long and something changes again.】

If it weren't wartime, the two of them might have been able to sneak away.

But now it was wartime, and both of them were important generals in the Blood God Sect's army. If they were away for a long time, it would definitely attract the attention of the Blood God Sect Master; only with Xu Jin's support would it be possible for them to return safely.

【Jin'er, we understand your thoughts and know your filial piety, but for now, we cannot return to the Star River Battlefield. Old Mo and I have discussed it and want to continue staying in the Blood God Sect.】 His teacher Qi Shanye suddenly sent a message that left Xu Jin stunned.

【Why? Teacher, it was so hard to get rid of the control; staying there is too dangerous.】

【Jin'er, I discovered the aura of an old friend today; he shouldn't have appeared here.】 Qi Shanye explained the reason to Xu Jin.

【Who?】

【The Hu Hu Dianzhu of the Lingji Star Palace, Sima Qu.】

【The Sect Master of the Worshiping Battle Sect? The helper invited by the Blood God Sect Master is the Sect Master of the Worshiping Battle Sect?】 Xu Jin reacted immediately.

【When did you know that the Sect Master of the Worshiping Battle Sect is the Hu Hu Dianzhu of the Lingji Star Palace, Sima Qu?】

【Just a few days ago.】

【You know, I came from the Lingji Star Palace, so I want to continue staying here and wait for an opportunity.】

【Teacher, do you want to return to the Lingji Star Palace?】 Xu Jin asked in surprise.

【I don't know, my heart is very chaotic right now. If the Lingji Star Palace were to reappear in the world, I would return without hesitation, but I didn't expect it to reappear in the identity of the notorious Worshiping Battle Sect.

Allow me to calm down and think about it.

Moreover, I won't return easily; with my current identity, I won't be trusted if I go back.

However, my family is still in the Star Palace, and I don't know how they are doing.

Don't worry, if I make any important decisions, I will definitely notify you,】 Qi Shanye messaged.

【Teacher, I understand.】

Xu Jin could understand Qi Shanye's mood.

All along, the Hu Hu Dianzhu of the Lingji Star Palace, Sima Qu, had been a leader-like figure whom Qi Shanye admired.

Back then, Sima Qu proposed defining gods, establishing divine rules, and setting divine punishments, which caused a sensation in the world.

But now, this leader-like figure had reappeared in the identity of the Worshiping Battle Sect Master.

One could see how complex Qi Shanye's emotions were.

【If there are any decisions or changes, you must notify me immediately,】 Xu Jin warned.

【Don't worry.】

Ending the communication with Qi Shanye, Xu Jin also felt some emotion.

It looked a bit like Qi Shanye's inner faith had collapsed.

One point was very important: the Lingji Star Palace had been killed and its halls locked for twenty-two years, and he and Mo Ji had also been hunted by the Tianyang Star Palace and the Cangming Star Palace for twenty-two years.

But at the same time, the Worshiping Battle Sect's activities in the current world had never stopped.

But the problem was, they had never contacted them.

The chill in this was imaginable.

This made Xu Jin think of two words: abandoned pawns!

Suddenly, Xu Jin's Star-Plucking Token vibrated violently.

It was the Tianyang Star Lord who had initiated a high-level meeting of the Star River Marshal's Mansion Secret Realm.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Jin arrived at the venue.

There were not many people, only the six Ninth-Tier experts of the current world, as well as the Domain-Suppressing Prince Xu Jin, who had made great contributions again this time.

The meeting began, and there was no avoiding some pleasantries and thanks.

The intelligence Xu Jin had obtained this time had solved a major hidden danger for the three major empires of the current world.

The meeting quickly entered the main topic, and there was only one agenda: how to deal with the threat to the safety of the current world posed by the Great Desolation Domain, where the Blood God Sect had gathered heavy troops.

This was indeed a very complex problem.

If the Blood God Sect were to go all out and spare no cost to send a large army to invade the current world, even if they didn't succeed, the current world would suffer heavy losses.

After all, there might still be inside agents.

And the Ninth-Tier experts couldn't return to defend the current world for a long time.

Listening to everyone's discussion, Xu Jin suddenly made a decision.
