Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 333: Chapter 157: Instructions from the State Preceptor (Please Subscribe)_3

At level ninety-four, there were four Heavenly Prides at the Ninth Layer Peak of Refining Star, who also possessed a Combined Attack Technique. Xu Jin was slain.

After reviewing the battle, Xu Jin felt that he still had a chance to win.

He redesigned his tactics based on the power characteristics of the four Ninth Layer Peak Heavenly Prides he had previously encountered and challenged them again.

This time, Xu Jin was disastrously defeated again!

Because the four Ninth Layer Peak Heavenly Prides who appeared had changed.

[First place, Xu Jin, level ninety-four]

[Second place, Meng Qingqiu, level seventy-nine]

[Third place, Yan Chen, level seventy-eight]

[Fourth place, Ji Hongli, level seventy-eight]

Xu Jin just glanced at the rankings and left.

From the looks of it, Meng Qingqiu, who is in second place, is still stuck at level eighty, so the much harder level ninety will be out of the question.

In the short term, no one on the God-Killing Battlefield could pose a threat to him.

”My lord, someone has brought a letter,” Qing Fan suddenly knocked on the door of Xu Jin’s quiet room.

”Where is he?”

”In the front hall. I followed your instructions, my lord, and detained him under the pretense of awarding him,” Qing Fan explained.

A few moments later, Xu Jin appeared in the front hall, where a janitor from the Taoist Institute was waiting.

Xu Jin casually rewarded him with one tael of silver and then inquired about the origins of the letter.

As for the content of the letter, Xu Jin had already read it and it was quite irritating.

”Answering brother, a child delivered a letter, which included a silver note worth ten taels, asking me to bring it here to brother.”

”Hmm? A child?”

In the next instant, Xu Jin activated the Warm Dream Star Pattern, plunging the janitor into a dream state instantly.

He asked again, receiving the same story.

In the dream, a child holding candied haws handed the janitor the letter.

With a snap of his fingers, Xu Jin woke the janitor up and then sent him away.

Yet, Xu Jin’s face was grim.

The content of this mysterious letter was getting more and more outrageous.

”Lord Xu, tonight at 7:45 PM, I await your esteemed presence on the fourth floor of the Star Radiance Building for an urgent matter concerning your future and your family’s safety. Please grace us with your presence, Lord Xu, and do not err.”

The previous mysterious letter had been somewhat courteous; this one was an overt threat, even using Xu Jin’s family as leverage.

This was something Xu Jin could not tolerate.

Who could it be?

Counting it up, aside from Lv Kun, Xu Jin hadn’t really offended anyone else.

Perhaps it was the Fighting God Sect or the Yangdu Marquis from the Three Kings and Seven Marquis?

Or maybe Zhao Weizhen, the surviving member of the wealthiest family of Jinshan County.

Who could it be?

This made Xu Jin exceptionally agitated!

If it were just threatening him, Xu Jin wouldn’t be so afraid.

He was in the Daoist Institute; although not absolutely safe, ordinary dangers couldn’t reach him.

Including his sister, as long as she was in the National Taoist Institute, she was safe.

But his father was still in Jinshan County.

Besides, there’s the saying that one can be a thief for a thousand days, but one can’t guard against a thief for a thousand days.

Even if he brought his father over, could he really ask his father and sister to never leave the National Taoist Institute for the rest of their lives?

How should he handle this matter?

After a long pause, Xu Jin made a decision.

Fifteen minutes later, Xu Jin appeared at the Pill Dawn Academy.

”Senior Brother Pang, I urgently need to meet with the State Preceptor!” Xu Jin arrived in haste.

”Junior Brother Xu, please wait; the State Preceptor is currently in a meeting.”

Pang Yu had barely spoken when the rarely seen, white-haired Chief Peng appeared before Xu Jin.

”Come with me.”

Pang Yu was stunned to see the seldom-seen Chief Peng coming to pick up Xu Jin!

”You can tell me what it is,” said the white-haired Chief Peng, smiling at Xu Jin.

Xu Jin, with his face taut and serious, presented the mysterious letter, ”This is the letter I received half an hour ago; it’s the second mysterious letter I’ve received.”

”Hmm?”

After just a glance, Chief Peng’s expression darkened.

In the Autumn Examination Secret Realm of the Da Chen National Daoist School, where National Master Cheng Yue Xiao was waiting for the Star Masters of Tianyang Star Hall and Cangming Star Hall to arrive and prepare for the selection meeting, he suddenly frowned and left the secret realm.

The next instant, he appeared before Xu Jin.

”Hmm, you can go back. By midnight tonight, I will definitely give you an answer,” National Master Cheng Yue Xiao said, taking the letter.

”Disciple thanks the State Preceptor!” Xu Jin bowed deeply.
