Chapter 659

Among the towering trees, a nine-story Star-Plucking Tower stood.

Sunlight filtered down, reflecting the faint starlight flickering from this Star-Plucking Tower.

The Zhen'e Tianyang Xingjun, Cangming Tianyang Xingjun, and Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun sat cross-legged under the flickering starlight of the Star-Plucking Tower, each with a stern expression, communicating slowly.

Ten li away, Xu Jin sneaked in silently. The Mingji Star Pattern permeated this Star-Plucking Tower and the three top Star Lords of the present world like air, silently and soundlessly, yet these three were completely unaware.

The improvement in Xu Jin's recent strength was displayed to the fullest at this moment.

If it were before, if Xu Jin wanted to sneak close to these three top Ninth Tier experts of the present world and then use the Mingji Star Pattern to sense and monitor their situation, he would inevitably have startled them.

But now, Xu Jin had sneaked close and was using the Mingji Star Pattern to sense and monitor these three, and these three had no perception at all.

This was actually an all-around crushing of strength.

His Dao Embryo cultivation base was a total crush, and his Star Pattern rank was also a crush.

It would be good if they had one or two main combat Star Patterns evolved to the Ninth Tier, but Xu Jin's Mingji Star Pattern and the stealth three-piece set of Star Patterns were all Ninth Tier mid-grade.

Cultivating all the way, unknowingly, he had already completed a crushing of the strongest in the present world.

Xu Jin originally wanted to take action directly to deal with them, but when he sneaked close, he heard these three discussing something, so he prepared to listen.

At the same time, Xu Jin also understood the insidiousness and cunning of this scoundrel, the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun, and also understood why he could not discover these three earlier.

The Star-Plucking Tower before his eyes was nine stories high; in other words, it was a main Star-Plucking Tower.

This scoundrel, the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun, had actually brought the main Star-Plucking Tower here; thinking about it, this was one of his current reliances.

Just like how Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao did not dare to confront the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun and others in the wild, but as long as he was in Dachen Wan Yi, the capital of Great Chen, he dared to confront these three; the assistance of the Great Chen main Star-Plucking Tower was immense.

At the same time, the star power fluctuations emitted by the main Star-Plucking Tower covered them, leading to Xu Jin not discovering the auras of these three Ninth Tier experts.

And the reason why the main Star-Plucking Tower could cover their auras should be related to the formations inside the main Star-Plucking Tower and the heaven and earth authority possessed by the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun.

When he first arrived, Xu Jin was still wondering why these three had to communicate outside the Star-Plucking Tower?

Wasn't it safer inside the Star-Plucking Tower?

If they were communicating inside the Star-Plucking Tower, then it would have nothing to do with Xu Jin.

Xu Jin could only violently break the tower.

But at this moment, the instant he saw the expressions of the three, he understood completely.

These three were also guarding against each other, not daring to trust each other, especially not daring to trust the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun.

The control of the main Star-Plucking Tower before his eyes was in the hands of the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun; if they followed him in, wouldn't that be handing their lives over to the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun?

Whoever goes in is a fool.

And because of this, there was this strange scene before his eyes.

"The two of you, as Hall Masters, should know about the Star River Secret Record, right?" The Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun spoke.

"Naturally, I know; this is a top-secret record passed down before our four families split up." The Cangming Tianyang Xingjun said.

The Zhen'e Tianyang Xingjun also nodded at the same time.

"It's good that you know. The current situation is almost the same as what was predicted in the Star River Secret Record. According to the Star River Secret Record, after the re-evolution of heaven and earth, the restrictions of heaven and earth in the Kunling Domain will completely disappear, and someone will eventually prove the Tenth Tier Tianyang Xingjun position.

Some can step into the star river and leave, and some can achieve the title of Tianyang Xingjun to extend their lifespan and govern the star region.

You should know this, right?" The Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun said.

"So what?" The Zhen'e Tianyang Xingjun sneered.

"The two of you, the cards are actually already on the table now!"

"What do you mean? Can you explain it more clearly?" The Cangming Tianyang Xingjun asked, puzzled.

The Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun was not in a hurry to answer, but looked toward the direction of White Tiger Star City. "I think you already know that our old friend, Lingji Sima Qu, was slain by Xu Jin, right?"

Seeing the two remain silent, the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun said again, "The King of the Eight Desolations, Ju Zhang, was also slain by Xu Jin."

"What exactly do you want to say by calling us over?" The Cangming Tianyang Xingjun was dissatisfied.

The Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun was still not in a hurry, but pointed in the direction of the Eight Desolations front line. "This great upheaval of the fusion of heaven and earth is ten to nine likely also triggered by Xu Jin; you should have some judgment on this, right?"

The Zhen'e Tianyang Xingjun and the Cangming Tianyang Xingjun nodded at the same time, but the Zhen'e Tianyang Xingjun said, "Tianyang, we have fought for so many years and know each other very well. If you have something to say, just say it! Otherwise, no matter how flowery your words are, it's useless."

"That's right, just say it! Otherwise, we don't have time to play with you here! Your Tianyang Star Hall cannot divide the fruits of victory, but we are still busy." The Cangming Tianyang Xingjun said.

"Alright, then I'll just say it; it's just one thing.

You say, Xu Jin has already slain Sima Qu and must have obtained the heaven and earth authority in Sima Qu's hands; will he deal with you next?" The Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun asked.

"Whether he will deal with us is not certain, but he will definitely deal with you." The Cangming Tianyang Xingjun sneered.

During the previous great battle, the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun did not participate, which meant he had drawn a clear line.

"A general's success is built on ten thousand bones!

If we don't act now, the three of us will eventually become the bones for others to rise to the top!" The Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun said.

As soon as these words were spoken, the Zhen'e Tianyang Xingjun reacted instantly, but the Cangming Tianyang Xingjun's expression was stunned. "You mean, Xu Jin..."

Halfway through his sentence, the Cangming Tianyang Xingjun's expression also became gloomy.

He also understood!

"Xu Jin's rise is too fast! According to intelligence, he only started pointing stars three and a half years ago, and now he has already slain Sima Qu; he can be called a person with a boundless future!

A titled Tianyang Xingjun is not his end point; it is just his way point.

But if we don't act again, we will eventually become the bones for him to rise to the top!

Today is already our last chance!" The Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun said in a deep voice.

"You mean, join forces?" The Cangming Tianyang Xingjun shouted.

"According to previous discoveries, the two of you joined forces and were easily defeated by him, so the probability of the three of us joining forces to defeat and slay Xu Jin will not be too high; I estimate it will not exceed twenty percent." The Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun said.

"Then you brought your main Star-Plucking Tower here, meaning that with the blessing of this thing, the three of us join forces to slay Xu Jin?" The Zhen'e Tianyang Xingjun sneered.

Hearing this, the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun shook his head. "This is only one aspect; with the blessing and help of this main Star-Plucking Tower, the probability of the three of us joining forces to slay Xu Jin is still only thirty percent.

Thirty percent is too low." "Then aren't you talking nonsense?" The Cangming Tianyang Xingjun said.

"There is one last method, which is also our last chance." The Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun said.

"What method?"

"Gathering all the authority of the main Star-Plucking Tower into one person's hands and then activating this main Star-Plucking Tower can cause its power to surge, which can increase the probability of us slaying Xu Jin to at least forty percent.

At the same time, gathering the heaven and earth authority that the three of us each possess into one person's hands will significantly strengthen combat power, and the winning rate can be increased by another ten percent.

And with various advantages combined, the winning rate will rise like a finger pointing to the floor.

Sixty percent.

I estimate that we have at least a sixty percent probability of slaying Xu Jin.

If the three of us can work together, without any mutual scheming, and each go all out, then our probability of slaying Xu Jin can be as high as seventy percent.

The two of you, this is our last chance." The Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun said.

Hearing this, the Cangming Tianyang Xingjun was the first to sneer coldly. "Tianyang, if I'm not mistaken, you definitely want to gather the heaven and earth authority into your hands and also gather the authority of the Star-Plucking Tower into your hands.

Do you think we are stupid or foolish?

Would we play with you like this?"

Being mocked by the Cangming Tianyang Xingjun, the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun was not angry and continued calmly, "I have recently learned a new space inheritance, and my combat power has greatly increased; gathering this heaven and earth authority into my hands has the greatest effect. However, the authority of the Star-Plucking Tower must be gathered into the hands of one of you two.

Because at that time, I will be the main force fighting Xu Jin and will have no time to activate this Star-Plucking Tower to channel star power to attack Xu Jin.

At the same time, I can take a Great Dao oath here that I will definitely fight Xu Jin to the death, never retreat half a step, and must decide life and death. After winning, I will prioritize helping the one who did not obtain the authority blessing to prove the Tenth Tier Tianyang Xingjun position, and after the battle, I will definitely return the heaven and earth authority, etc.

The one among you who obtains the authority of the Star-Plucking Tower must also take a similar Great Dao oath."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Zhen'e Tianyang Xingjun and the Cangming Tianyang Xingjun looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

The Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun is for real!

And the super ruthless kind.

As long as the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun still wants to prove the Tenth Tier Tianyang Xingjun position, he cannot violate the Great Dao oath.

And the Great Dao oath to fight Xu Jin to the death, never retreat half a step, and must decide life and death blocks the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun's possible retreat.

He is for real!

Then what about them? How should they choose?

The Zhen'e Tianyang Xingjun and the Cangming Tianyang Xingjun fell into deep thought.

"There is one point you should be clear about: the three of us, or rather the four of us, have fought for so many years, but in fact, no one could do anything to anyone. It's like brothers fighting back and forth, eventually ending up evenly matched, half a catty to eight taels.

You actually all know about the attack on the Lingji Star Hall twenty-two years ago; it was for the inheritance secret method of gestating a Dao Embryo that Lingji obtained alone back then!

Back then, Zhen'e, you actually participated too, but you didn't show your face.

The three of us are ultimately coexistent.

But Xu Jin's growth—in these three years, you look at his growth trajectory; it is all built on the deaths of other experts.

A young man's ambition.

After unifying the Eight Desolations Continent, you say, is it possible for Xu Jin to unify the present world?

Cangming, Xu Jin's maternal grandfather, Director Ji Bang, was slain by you, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Cangming Tianyang Xingjun's face changed suddenly.

"Don't deny it! Director Ji Bang's granddaughter, Ji Hongli, is now the mistress of the Great Chen Domain-Suppressing Prince's Mansion. You say, will Xu Jin come to settle accounts with you?

If he comes to settle accounts with you, can you block him?" The Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun said.

The Cangming Tianyang Xingjun's face suddenly became incomparably ugly.

This was equivalent to him admitting to this matter. Seeing this, the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun was even more confident.

"I am even less able to escape Xu Jin's settlement of accounts; Xu Jin has too many reasons to settle accounts with me. I alone cannot block him! And I am unwilling to die of old age in the Tianyang Small World, so I came to find you."

After speaking, the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun looked at the Zhen'e Tianyang Xingjun again and said, "As for Zhen'e, on the surface, you look the most relaxed! But if I am slain and Cangming is slain, leaving you alone, how long do you think he can leave you?

At that time, even if Xu Jin is willing to let you go, can the civil and military officials of Great Chen endure it under the temptation of unifying the present world?

The great trend of humanity will carry everything forward at that time!

Perhaps you, Zhen'e, will die even more miserably than us in the future!

And this is still on the premise that Xu Jin is currently willing to let you go.

But I think with Xu Jin's thunderous methods, it's difficult!"

As soon as the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun said this, even with the Zhen'e Tianyang Xingjun's calmness, his face changed.

Especially that sentence about the great trend of humanity really made him afraid!

As the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun said, if Tianyang and Cangming were both dead and only he was left, when he would die would depend on Xu Jin's mood.

That would really be...

"The two of you, this is our last chance! If you are willing to follow my plan just now, I am willing to take the Great Dao oath I just mentioned.

What's more, if we slay Xu Jin, we can obtain the heaven and earth authority that Xu Jin pressed from Sima Qu's hands, and the three of us can divide it equally.

Time is still long, and the years are leisurely. This Kunling Domain is still ours. At that time, all three of us will have the opportunity to prove the Tianyang Xingjun position." The Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun's voice was extremely seductive!

It had to be said that the Cangming Tianyang Xingjun and the Zhen'e Tianyang Xingjun were both moved.

Just as the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun said, it was the last chance!

"I'll do it!" The Cangming Tianyang Xingjun was the first to make a decision.

Afterward, the gazes of the two were all focused on the Zhen'e Tianyang Xingjun, who was still somewhat hesitant.

"Decisive action is needed; if you hesitate, you will surely suffer!" The Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun said.

"That's right, Zhen'e, make a decision!" The Cangming Tianyang Xingjun also advised.

The next moment, the Zhen'e Tianyang Xingjun's hesitant expression became firm; clearly, he had already made a decision.

But just as he was about to speak, applause suddenly rang out from the distance!

Clap! Clap! Clap!

"Today, I have finally witnessed what is called a glib tongue!"

Amidst the applause, Xu Jin's voice and figure appeared from the distance simultaneously, causing the expressions of the three to change drastically, instantly becoming ugly to the extreme!
