Chapter 917

Tiger Spirit Star Island.

Island Master True Person Hu Yu frowned, looking at the distress signal from Red Peak Star Island that had suddenly arrived in his Island Master Seal, feeling somewhat stunned.

"Someone is attacking the island? Requesting support?"

This distress signal was too simple; at the very least, one should describe the enemy situation in some detail so he could decide how to send reinforcements and how many to send.

Writing it so vaguely and sloppily left True Person Hu Yu not only puzzled but also very worried.

Because there is only one situation where a distress signal would be extremely vague—that is, the situation is critical!

Immediately, True Person Hu Yu sent a reply asking for specific details; even if the opposing Island Master was in battle, as long as it wasn't a life-or-death moment, they should be able to spare a sliver of divine sense to reply.

But the inquiry sent out was like a stone sinking into the ocean, with no response whatsoever.

What True Person Hu Yu did not know was that just as he sent the inquiry, True Person Hu Lie, who had activated the Island Master Seal to send the distress signal, had already been slain by Xu Jin.

After waiting for more than ten breaths without receiving a response, True Person Hu Yu became somewhat anxious.

If he received a distress call and failed to send reinforcements when conditions permitted, he would be dealt with by military law if this were investigated later.

True Person Hu Yu immediately dispatched four Silver Wing spatial True Persons to scout ahead, and then began using private contact methods to reach out to True Persons he was familiar with on Red Peak Star Island.

Such as True Person Chi Ze, or True Person Hu Lie and True Person Hu Yu.

Among these people, especially the latter two, because they were of the same clan, he had a deep personal friendship with them and possessed private contact methods.

True Person Hu Yu contacted them frequently, but all his messages were like stones sinking into the ocean, with no response.

This caused True Person Hu Yu's expression to become serious.

There are three possibilities for being unable to make contact:

First, these experts are all out fighting, located in the Star Ruins starfield where contact is impossible.

Second, it is a life-or-death moment, with no time to respond.

Third, they have been killed in battle.

If it were the first case, then why did Red Peak Star Island say in its distress call that someone was attacking the island?

Immediately, the naturally cautious True Person Hu Yu notified all True Persons under his command, telling them to contact acquaintances on Red Peak Star Island as much as possible to inquire about the situation there.

Naturally, this series of orders required time.

After over a hundred breaths, True Person Hu Yu received an answer that he found hard to believe: none of the True Persons on Red Peak Star Island could be contacted!

All of them!

This was not normal!

Normally, no matter how intense the attack, there would be True Persons left behind to guard.

Not normal, absolutely not normal!

While organizing reinforcements, he had some Star Monarchs contact the clansmen on Red Peak Star Island, while also preparing to report the matter.

It was at this moment that True Person Luan Chi of Luan Xiang Star Island suddenly contacted True Person Hu Yu, inquiring about the support matter.

The answer was shockingly consistent.

They had received the distress signal, but there was no follow-up, and they could not contact any of the True Persons on the star island.

At the same time, the Star Monarchs under True Person Hu Yu also reported their results: they could not contact their clansmen on Red Peak Star Island; not a single one could be reached.

"Something big has happened!"

While True Person Hu Yu reached this judgment, he immediately contacted the Ancient Shengcheng Lord, Holy Ancestor Chi Yi.

The Ancient Shengcheng was the command center for their Holy Ancestors in the Star Ruins starfield, equivalent to the human theater headquarters; the supreme commander was naturally the City Lord, Holy Ancestor Chi Yi.

"What? Red Peak Star Island asked you for support, saying someone is attacking the island? But no one can be contacted? Neither True Persons nor Star Monarchs?"

In the Ancient Shengcheng, after receiving the report from True Person Hu Yu, the old ancestor Chi Yi was not in a hurry; his divine sense moved slightly, and he instantly activated the ferocious and majestic red dragon horns on his forehead.

In an instant, golden-red patterns appeared on his red dragon horns.

The number and members of the Holy Ancestor's direct bloodline within their Holy Clan were top secret to others, something almost impossible to know.

The identity of the Holy Ancestor's direct bloodline was never announced; only after cultivating to a certain level could one see certain clues, such as combat power far exceeding that of the same clan, etc.

But for these Holy Ancestors, it was naturally not a secret.

Every time a Holy Ancestor's direct bloodline appeared in the clan, a direct bloodline red pattern would grow on their red dragon horns.

Correspondingly, if a direct bloodline red pattern on their red dragon horns disappeared, it meant that a certain Holy Clan direct bloodline had been killed in battle.

Upon activation, Holy Ancestor Chi Yi's ferocious red dragon horns trembled, and one direct bloodline red pattern disappeared.

That direct bloodline red pattern belonging to Chi Ze was gone.

Chi Ze had been killed in battle!

"Who is it!"

The moment the angry roar resounded through the entire Ancient Shengcheng, and while all Holy Clan beings were trembling because of Holy Ancestor Chi Yi's angry roar, in the Star Ruins starfield, a pulse-like red light vibrated slightly and instantly disappeared from where it was.

Old Ancestor Chi Yi had personally set out!

True Person Chi Ze, who was his direct bloodline, was a quasi-Emperor; looking at the current level of cultivation, stepping onto the Emperor's Great Dao in the future was a certainty!

But now he had been killed in battle!

Killed in battle!

At the same time, Red Peak Star Island had also lost contact.

Red Peak Star Island had been managed for over a hundred years to reach its current scale.

Red Peak Star Island losing contact and a direct bloodline being killed in battle—either one was enough for him, this Holy Ancestor, to personally set out!

On Red Peak Star Island, Xu Jin had just pulled out the Sumeru space of the twelfth True Person and collected them all.

At the same time, Red Peak Star Island also began to move under the guidance of a group of True Persons.

Pulling a star island is very slow and difficult at first, but once it starts moving, it becomes faster and faster.

Seeing this, Xu Jin also began to inject his own star power and divine soul power to help pull the star island.

His spoils of war had already been collected; what remained belonged to Guan Laohei and the other three, Bai Zhangshan.

Long before the other True Persons landed on the island, the five of them had decided on the distribution of spoils based on the battle situation.

All the True Person experts were killed by Xu Jin; this was a fact.

However, without the containment and assistance of Guan Laohei, Bai Zhangshan, Nian Qinggui, and Cao Bin, Xu Jin alone would have fallen into a heavy siege and could not have completed this task.

Originally, the gains from slaying True Persons were to be shared with these few.

But regarding the distribution of military merit, Xu Jin had his own thoughts.

Originally, Xu Jin should have been the primary contributor!

The well-deserved primary contributor.

And in the final calculation of military merit, Xu Jin should have exclusively held over seventy percent.

But if that were the case, Xu Jin would truly be the center of attention.

A tall tree attracts the wind.

If that really happened, not to mention the potential enemies Xu Jin might have within the Profound Heaven theater, I fear that in the subsequent battles, the alien Emperors and even Holy Ancestors would treat Xu Jin as the number one target for assassination!

Not just assassination, but a must-kill target!

This was Bai Zhangshan's previous analysis, and also Xu Jin's judgment.

Because according to the strength and potential Xu Jin currently displayed, if he were to grow up in the future, he might even grow into a figure like Emperor Dongxuan.

The Emperor corresponds to the Holy Ancestors of the alien races.
