Chapter 640: Wasteful?

~15 min read 2,878 words

Eight Desolations Wang Ting.

Looking at the subordinates who were cleaning up the ruins.

Looking at those charred or broken corpses.

Looking at that long list of missing persons.

The face of the King of the Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang, was black and shiny.

Even on his golden, glittering golden horn, a bit of black light was reflected.

This loss could no longer be described as heavy.

The ninth-tier elder Ju Song who was left behind was killed, which was a greater loss to Envoy Ju Zhang than losing two or three ninth-tier experts.

Ju Song had high prestige within the clan, had extremely rich experience in handling affairs, and was an old hand at administration, and he was extremely trusted by Envoy Ju Zhang; most of the government affairs of the entire Eight Desolations Wang Ting were handled by Ju Song.

With Ju Song dead, the government affairs of the Eight Desolations Wang Ting were enough to give Envoy Ju Zhang a headache.

What was even more fatal was that Ju Song had originally picked out a few seedlings and cultivated a few clansmen to handle government affairs, ranging from sixth, seventh, to eighth tier, but in this battle, most of them died in battle, and most were on the missing list.

For a time, the King of the Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang, frowned deeply.

Difficult!

Too difficult!

The loss in that battle two months ago directly knocked out the possibility of Envoy Ju Zhang quickly flattening the Star River battlefield.

Counting the Blood God Sect Master, four ninth-tier experts died in battle directly.

But compared to that, the main force remained, and his Eight Desolations Wang Ting was still the strongest, and there was still hope.

But the Seven Kills successor's surprise attack today directly knocked out Envoy Ju Zhang's spirit.

This battle directly reduced the ninth-tier experts of the Eight Desolations Wang Ting to only two; one must know that at its peak, there were five.

The number of eighth-tier experts also plummeted.

What was even more fatal was that Envoy Ju Zhang felt a sense of powerlessness in the Seven Kills successor Xu Jin.

Especially when he recalled the various battle situations before.

It made Envoy Ju Zhang feel incomparably depressed.

There was actually a feeling of despondency.

This feeling of being unable to do anything about the Seven Kills successor was too terrible.

"Young Master, don't be discouraged, our main force remains! There are still many seventh-tier experts with the potential to break through to the eighth tier. During this period, I will spend some energy to guide them, and we can add a few more eighth-tier experts. Young Master, your subjects are all looking at you, if you are like this..." Beside him, the ninth-tier late-stage Xuan Hu reminded him.

Xuan Hu was full of confidence.

For one, he was a ninth-tier late-stage expert, and for another, he had only suffered a setback in front of Xu Jin for the second time.

Reminded by Xuan Hu, Envoy Ju Zhang took a deep breath, cheered up, and arranged affairs full of confidence.

Seeing their own King so spirited, the morale of the Eight Desolations alien races, which had been hit hard, also recovered.

Half a day later, after handling these trivial matters, the King of the Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang, walked toward the Jin Zhu Holy Temple under the Heaven-Reaching Golden Pillar.

"Xuan Hu, you select a portion of clansmen whose cultivation is trapped in a bottleneck, guide them, invest various resources, and help them break through. Also, the previous Ju Qi, Ju Man, Qing Xi, and the other ten-plus clansmen who were controlled, think of a way to contact the seniors in the clan and see if their divine soul control can be resolved. These people are all talented; we can't just keep them locked up." Envoy Ju Zhang instructed.

"Young Master, rest assured, I will contact the ancestral land later and ask them to think of a way." Xuan Hu replied.

While speaking, Envoy Ju Zhang and Xuan Hu stepped into the Heaven-Reaching Golden Pillar.

The moment they stepped in, Envoy Ju Zhang's face changed.

The Heaven-Reaching Golden Pillar, between a spirit treasure and an array, had long been imprinted with his divine soul, and he was very clear about every change inside.

With a flash of golden light, Envoy Ju Zhang appeared in front of a side hall bolstered with heavy seals.

That was the side hall where the sixteen clansmen, including Ju Qi, Ju Man, and Qing Xi, whose divine souls had been controlled, were imprisoned.

Imprisoning these sixteen clansmen was one, to cast a long line to catch the Seven Kills successor.

Two, it was also to give these clansmen a chance.

Three, it was to prevent these people from leaking information to the Seven Kills successor.

The next instant, the seal on the hall door was broken by Envoy Ju Zhang with a wave of his hand, and the moment the hall door opened, a heavy smell of blood rushed toward his face.

In the side hall, corpses were everywhere.

Sixteen clansmen had all died.

Their manner of death was all the same.

Their heads exploded, and their divine souls were gone.

Envoy Ju Zhang's eyes turned red instantly, his iron fists clenched until they crackled, and golden light exploded on the golden horn on his forehead.

"Damn it!"

Envoy Ju Zhang roared!

These sixteen clansmen, although their divine souls were controlled, were all excellent in talent, and were all genius clansmen who had been selected to enter the Breaking Limit Secret Realm a few months ago.

Although only three people had broken through to the eighth tier when they first came out.

But after accumulating for these few months, five more had broken through to the eighth tier.

Among the other eight, given some time, quite a few had the possibility of breaking through to the eighth tier.

Eight eighth-tier experts, eight seventh-tier experts.

All dead!

After a while, Envoy Ju Zhang's clenched iron fists slowly loosened.

"Must solve this Seven Kills successor; if we can't solve him, this battle can't be fought." Envoy Ju Zhang roared.

"Young Master, to solve this Seven Kills successor, restraining his spatial star techniques is the top priority, but currently, there is no particularly good method to restrain spatial star techniques."

"I will ask my father for help! If my father can't, then I will ask my father to invite other Emperors or even Holy Ancestors for help; I don't believe there is no method to restrain spatial star techniques. If this continues, all the elites of my clan will be killed by this Seven Kills successor!"

As Envoy Ju Zhang spoke, he had already walked straight toward the bottom of the Heaven-Reaching Golden Pillar.

He could no longer care about face.

He must seek help from his father.

Especially for a method to restrain spatial star techniques.

In Blood Moon City, the Baidou Sect Master Sima Qu looked at Qi Shanye and Mo Ji in front of him, his face full of apology.

"These years, it has been hard for you; it is I, this hall master, who was incompetent."

"It's all the fault of the Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun and the Cang Ming Tianyang Xingjun; if it weren't for their Dao Embryo secret techniques, it wouldn't have come to this."

"Rest assured, Old Qi, your family is living well in the Lingji small world."

"You left early that year, so you didn't learn many profound star patterns."

"The 'Clear Soul' below the seventh tier, the 'Clear Era' in the seventh tier, and the 'Break Evil' below the eighth tier, I will pass them on to you now, which will absolutely make your strength advance greatly."

"I observe that your nascent spirit cultivation is not weak; wait until your nascent spirit cultivation reaches its peak, and I will help you gestate your Dao Embryo."

Qi Shanye and Mo Ji had long known Sima Qu's identity, but they had never taken the initiative to contact him.

They didn't expect that Sima Qu would recognize them today.

And give them big rewards.

Gave them a pile of promises.

Although these things were no longer worth mentioning in their eyes.

"Clear Soul" below the seventh tier, "Clear Era" in the seventh tier?

They had been engraving the "Clear Soul" and "Clear Era" above the eighth tier for a long time.

However, when Sima Qu mentioned their families, especially Qi Shanye, his gaze turned cold. They had been mixing in the world for so long; how could they not understand?

Under favor, profit, and threat, Sima Qu's purpose couldn't be clearer.

"Willing to serve the Sect Master!"

Qi Shanye and Mo Ji bowed at the same time.

Sima Qu was overjoyed.

"Good, you two go all out to control the Blood God Sect these days; if there is anything you can't handle, I will help you deal with it. However, on the surface, the Blood God Sect is now respected by you two. You two are the new left and right protectors. If the Blood God Sect Master returns, notify me at the first opportunity."

"Rest assured, Lord."

"Call me Sect Master! The title of Lingji Tianyang Xingjun can no longer be used." Sima Qu said.

"Rest assured, Sect Master!"

"Good, you two handle this matter quickly; in a few days, I will get you a few spirit herbs to help you break through to the eighth tier, and then introduce you into the sect to serve in the Baidou Divine Sect. Nowadays, many of the high-ranking officials of the Baidou Divine Sect are your old friends..."

The bottom of Sima Qu's eyes was full of smiles.

He didn't expect to get it without any effort.

He had previously been worrying about how to control the Blood God Sect.

It was very difficult.

And with the King of the Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang, there, sending people directly to control it wouldn't work either.

He didn't expect to discover two former old subordinates.

And they were currently high-ranking officials of the Blood God Sect.

This was simply a heaven-sent treasure.

It allowed him to receive all the power of the Blood God Sect in a short time.

After fighting with people and fighting with heaven for so many years, Sima Qu felt for the first time that heaven was on his side.

On the Star River lonely island, Xu Jin looked at the messages sent by his teacher Qi Shanye and Mo Ji through the Thousand Star Token.

He felt some emotion.

He didn't expect that after going around in a circle, Qi Shanye and Mo Ji would return to the Lingji Star Temple in this way.

Or rather, joined the Baidou Divine Sect.

Regarding this, Xu Jin fully supported it.

Compared to the Blood God Sect, Xu Jin wanted to understand the secrets of the Baidou Divine Sect more.

He wanted to know more information about the Baidou Divine Sect, especially the avatars.

Xu Jin also wanted to obtain more True God residual bones from the Baidou Divine Sect to forge his own avatar core and collect Divine Dao Golden Beads.

As for their Thousand Star Token matter, it was simple.

Not just them, but Ning Yuchan, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao, and others, Xu Jin all suggested that they upgrade their Thousand Star Tokens to the second tier and participate in the Black Tower trial at the beginning of each month.

For those whose points were not enough, Xu Jin even supported them a little.

Ning Yuchan, the Grand Master, and Mo Ji passed six levels at once and upgraded their Thousand Star Tokens to Thousand Star Silver Tokens, which could communicate directly.

Qi Shanye, however, passed twice.

While each of them gained quite a few rewards, communication also became more convenient.

Otherwise, there would be no way to communicate on this Star River lonely island.

Now, Qi Shanye and Mo Ji took advantage of controlling the power of the Blood God Sect to infiltrate the Baidou Divine Sect; as for what gains they would have, it would depend on the future.

What is worth mentioning is that the alien races like Ju Qi, Ju Man, and Qing Xi, whose divine souls had been controlled by Xu Jin, were sensed by Xu Jin when he killed his way into the Eight Desolations Wang Ting; they were in the Jin Zhu Holy Temple under the Heaven-Reaching Golden Pillar, but not a single one came out to participate in the battle.

It was very strange.

When he left, he sent a message to ask about their current situation.

These guys all said they were sent to the front-line troops or something.

Xu Jin just sneered.

One by one, they were simply telling lies with their eyes open.

It seemed that they had already been discovered by Envoy Ju Zhang.

It was very likely that they were waiting to catch him, this big fish.

Xu Jin originally wanted to keep them, thinking of using these people's hands to fool Envoy Ju Zhang and pit Envoy Ju Zhang.

But after a second thought, once he broke through to the seventh tier, would he need to?

Keeping them was just a disaster!

With a movement of his mind, he detonated the divine soul seals of the sixteen alien races including Ju Qi, Ju Man, and Qing Xi.

One by one, they vanished into thin air on the spot!

And that was the scene the King of the Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang, saw.

Just as he was

It seems he has already been discovered by Envoy Ju Zhang.

It is highly likely he is waiting to catch him, this big fish.

Xu Jin had initially wanted to keep them, thinking that at some point he could use these people to fool Envoy Ju Zhang and set a trap for him.

But then he thought, once he breaks through to the Seventh Tier, will he need to?

Keeping them is only a disaster!

With a thought, he detonated the divine soul seals of the sixteen alien experts, including Ju Qi, Ju Man, and Qing Xi.

One by one, their souls scattered on the spot!

This led to the scene that Envoy Ju Zhang, the King of the Eight Desolates, saw.

While he was pondering, the divine soul imprint left on his Thousand Star Token by Youyu Zhenjun, which Xu Jin had been vibrating with his divine sense, suddenly showed activity.

It was actually resonating with his Thousand Star Token as a whole.

【Cooperate with me, release your Thousand Star Token, and inject enough star power into it; I am about to teleport over.】 Youyu Zhenjun's message appeared instantly.

Xu Jin immediately injected a massive amount of star power into his Thousand Star Token.

The next moment, the Thousand Star Token, now filled with star power, began to shimmer.

As the spatial fluctuations, driven by the star power, continued to amplify and reach their peak, a figure tumbled out from the starlight of the Thousand Star Token.

It was none other than Youyu Zhenjun, carrying a long sword on his back, his long eyebrows fluttering.

The moment Youyu Zhenjun tumbled out, Xu Jin said in astonishment, "Old Yu, you can come over like this? Isn't this a teleportation divine artifact?"

Youyu Zhenjun, having tumbled out, took a deep breath, glared, and his long eyebrows stood up, "It's not as easy as you imagine; my divine soul cultivation is almost drained.

Furthermore, both parties must possess a Thousand Star Jade Token.

And both Thousand Star Jade Tokens must contain the other party's divine soul imprint."

Hearing this, Xu Jin nodded; if that were the case, it truly couldn't be popularized.

For one thing, not everyone can obtain a Thousand Star Jade Token.

Within the Thousand Star Alliance, Thousand Star Gold Tokens are easy to get, but Jade Tokens are extremely hard to come by.

Many True Persons do not necessarily possess a Thousand Star Jade Token.

"But it is indeed convenient, at least between you and me. I wonder if it's possible to teleport Master over?" Xu Jin asked.

Hearing this, Youyu Zhenjun glared, "The higher the cultivation and the further the distance, the consumption increases exponentially. Given the distance between Fenghua, your martial nephew, and you, the Thousand Star Token would have drained him dry before even halfway through the teleportation.

Alright, enough nonsense, let's deal with your Seventh Tier breakthrough first.

A grand-disciple at the peak of the Sixth Tier Ninth Layer, I'm embarrassed to introduce you to anyone."

Just as he was speaking, Youyu Zhenjun's eyes suddenly widened, and he pointed at Xu Jin's Star River Solitary Island, exclaiming.

"Little Jinzi, what did you feed this Star River Solitary Island of yours? How did it grow so fast?

It's so big?

It's almost as big as two rooms, isn't it?

My goodness, under normal circumstances, it wouldn't grow this big in two years.

How long has it been for you? Two months or so?

You brat, don't squander heaven's gifts!

Don't waste true, genuine heavenly treasures, right?" Youyu Zhenjun looked at Xu Jin's Star River Solitary Island with a pained expression.
