Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 486: Chapter 209: Falling to the Mortal World_2

Within Wanyi, stirring that person would be like seeking death.

As long as he obtained solid evidence, even if Cheng Yuxiao killed him, the Cangming Star Hall wouldn’t be able to seek revenge directly.

The power to assassinate was still not enough!

If they attempted a forced assassination and failed, losing the lives of one or two Fifth Tier experts in the process would not only be unsuccessful but also excessive.

It would be a crime worth an increase in punishment level.

Then, he wouldn’t be dispatched to the Galaxy Battlefield under the Cangming Star Hall’s Canglong Army but would be directly reassigned to the Sin Killing Army belonging to Cang Mingluo!

The Sin Killing Army, the name alone revealed the origin of this military unit.

It was primarily composed of cultivators serving time for crimes and attempting to earn merits within both the Cangming Star Hall and Dachu Country.

Not only was it extremely demanding, but the rate of casualties was also incredibly high!

That was a place nobody wanted to go to.

To avoid even worse outcomes, he just had to watch as the opportunity to earn merits slipped away, which caused Zhang Zhen great distress!

Suddenly, Zhang Zhen thought of a friend who shared his misfortune.

Du Tingyun, Star Master of Dachen’s Tianyang Star Hall!

Recently, this person had suffered misfortune just like himself; in the last few months, his misfortunes had been almost equal to his, and many had something to do with Xu Jin.

A few days ago, at a private meeting, Du Tingyun also mentioned that his transfer orders had arrived, and he was to be dispatched to the Demon Shooting Army of the Tianyang Star Hall on the Galaxy Battlefield; his position was slightly better, directly as a Guard General.

But likewise, the Tianyang Star Hall’s Demon Shooting Army was a regiment at the forefront of fierce battles.

Did Du Tingyun want to go?

Definitely not!

Did Du Tingyun want to earn merits?

It was very likely he did!

”Should I collaborate with him? Just unsure if the Tianyang Star Hall has such a list of essential targets?

They should, right?”

Having this thought, Zhang Zhen sent a Starlight Transmission to Du Tingyun, as the situation was urgent and he had to contact him this way.

”Old Du, do you want to perform a Miracle Merit and change your position?”

”Who wouldn’t want to! But a Miracle Merit, it’s not so easy to obtain.”

”There’s an opportunity right now...”

****

At Ying Mansion, led by the doorkeeper, Xu Jin arrived at the courtyard where Ying Ge resided.

Simply stepping through the gates allowed one to perceive the opulence, but according to the feedback from the Mingji Star Pattern, the more than ten auras inside were all very tense, oppressive, and even somber.

”Young Master Xu, the elder son has been in a poor mood recently; if there is any impropriety, I beg your understanding.”

The butler, who had rushed over, gave Xu Jin an advance warning and then went to announce him personally before Xu Jin heard the cursing.

”Not seeing anyone!”

”Didn’t I say? I’m not meeting anyone!”

”With this ghastly appearance, who do you want me to meet and how?

Hurry them away, just say I’m dead!”

A bout of cursing sent the butler walking out with an embarrassed face.

Xu Jin, however, just sighed lightly.

He understood, truly understood Ying Ge’s plight.

Formerly a True Disciple of the National Taoist Institute, a genius eldest son who was the center of the whole family’s attention, his future was boundless, and he had already secured the position of the next head of the Ying Family, the next Clan Leader of the Ying Clan. That was, barring accidents, his to inherit.

But now, he had lost everything.

Even his body was disabled!

”Young Master Xu, I’m sorry, the elder son does not wish to see you. But we still ask for your understanding.”

The butler was aware of Xu Jin’s status and, while speaking, wiped tears from his eyes, ”The elder son has suffered a terrible misfortune and is in great distress, but recently, the blows have just kept coming.”

”Blows? What do you mean?” Xu Jin’s brows rose sharply, hearing the butler say this. Could someone be bullying Ying Ge?

”Ah!”

The butler pulled Xu Jin aside and sighed deeply, ”You know, the luxury of a noble family, one can’t blame the Family Head or Clan Leader! The elder son’s standard of living is naturally the best, but the cultivation resources within the clan that he once enjoyed, the Clan Leader ordered all of them to be transferred to support the third son who has the next best talent after the eldest son.

Unfortunately, the third son, Ying Zhan, comes from the second uncle’s family and has always been at odds with the elder son!

During a visit a few days ago, he even indirectly threw a few cold remarks, ostensibly to comfort but actually to hurt!

It made the elder son very upset!” The butler said while wiping tears.

As Xu Jin listened, he internally sighed; this was the true, genuine struggle within a noble family!

Especially in this era where power resides solely with oneself, once one loses their strength, their status plummets dramatically!

It was only because Ying Ge’s father, Ying Bonian, was still present that Ying Ge’s situation was not even worse!

”That’s not all,” the butler wiped away tears again.

”More?”

”Yes, for sure. In the noble family, other sons and daughters all support the third son Ying Zhan, which is normal. But some people, thinking of ingratiating themselves with the third son, take the opportunity of visiting the elder son to actually hurt rather than comfort!

Just now, even the Family Head fell ill because of this!” said the butler.

Now, Xu Jin was angered as well.

This was outright trampling!

Supporting someone else didn’t matter.

But trampling down on Ying Ge was too much.

However, what could Xu Jin’s anger do?

The affairs of a noble family’s inner house were not something Xu Jin could meddle in!

”Alas, the elder son is too kind-hearted!

That’s not all, before the Miss Han of the Han Family, who was betrothed to the elder son, Han Xi, had planned to marry by the end of this year!

She outright came to break off the engagement.

Breaking off was fine.

The Family Head is a reasonable man, after all. Who can blame the elder son for the great misfortune he has suffered, even being crippled?

He agreed to break off the engagement.

But this Han Family...”

At this point, the butler’s chest heaved.

”What happened?”

”This Han Family, they actually... directly went through intermediaries to the second master’s mansion to propose marriage for the third son Ying Zhan!

This... this is too much bullying!” So speaking, the Ying Mansion’s butler was nearly at the end of his rope.

Even Xu Jin, as an outsider, hearing this, felt frustration rising from the soles of his feet to his head.
