Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 566: Chapter 235 Soul Shattered_4

Without any reservations, Xu Jin directly switched to a Fifth-Tier Middle Wood Spirit Star Core and executed Low-level Star Healing.

Eye-catching?

Xu Jin didn’t care.

All he wanted to do at this moment was to save people!

Grown-ups, the elderly, women, children, and even infants!

But just as he was saving people, he suddenly noticed the action of the State Preceptor.

Not flaying anymore?

What was going on?

Xu Jin was puzzled.

Could it be that they were no longer going to kill Hu Zhen, that evil demon?

It was precisely at this time that National Master Cheng Yuxiao, who had just joined up with Meng Yanhui and others, looked at Meng Yanhui and sighed deeply.

”State Preceptor, you’ve already done your best!”

Meng Yanhui said in consolation.

”Although we didn’t finish him off today, we have slain the flesh of Hu Zhen, this demon, and flayed his Primordial Spirit 157 times, enough to deter those with bad intentions!” Meng Yanhui added.

The State Preceptor nodded slightly.

Meng Yanhui was right.

However, the fact that they couldn’t obliterate Hu Zhen’s Divine Soul today, was still unsettling!

Taking a deep breath and pondering for a few moments, National Master Cheng Yuxiao finally declared in a loud voice.

”The city-slaughtering villain Hu Zhen has had his flesh cut apart by me and his Primordial Spirit flayed 157 times! As he is the Second Elder of Tianyang Star Hall and the Tianyang Star Lord personally intervened, asking to spare his life for him to live and atone for his crimes, along with making reparations!

Therefore, we are temporarily releasing his Primordial Spirit to observe the outcome!”

As he uttered these words, Cheng Yuxiao harbored endless regrets.

At the very moment when these words were spoken, the eyes of thousands upon thousands of Dachen warriors turned red in an instant.

Had it been anyone else but the highly respected National Master Cheng Yuxiao announcing this news, they might have been spat to death by angry bystanders!

Hearing this, Xu Jin felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger!

He could live!

Never in his dreams did Xu Jin expect that Hu Zhen could still survive!

But Xu Jin didn’t blame the State Preceptor at all!

He heard the desolation in the State Preceptor’s words.

And also the unsettled emotions!

But why!

Why could a city-slaughtering demon live!

Why should he live!

Wasn’t it said that evil begets evil?

But why wasn’t it so!

Xu Jin’s heart started to pound furiously.

At this moment, Xu Jin felt an overwhelming urge to kill Hu Zhen at any cost!

But there was no chance!

Hu Zhen’s Primordial Spirit was still in the hands of the State Preceptor.

And there were experts from Tianyang Star Hall on the other side.

Fury!

Xu Jin understood the State Preceptor, but was utterly baffled.

Just before, it seemed that the State Preceptor was all set to flay Hu Zhen’s Primordial Spirit alive, to scatter his soul.

So why the sudden change of heart?

Was it because something significant had happened?

Xu Jin was getting impatient.

Since this matter was already widely known, asking a question wouldn’t be a problem.

[State Preceptor, why have you stopped the execution of Hu Zhen, this demon? Has something happened?]

Xu Jin sent a Starlight Transmission directly to the State Preceptor.

Regarding Xu Jin’s Starlight Transmission, National Master Cheng Yuxiao replied immediately!

It was not surprising to the State Preceptor that Xu Jin asked such a question through Starlight Transmission; it never even crossed his mind that Xu Jin was at the scene.

After all, numerous people were following the issue, which was no secret by now.

Xu Jin, still in the National Taoist Institute, knew it was normal to ask this question.

[Tianyang Star Lord has entered the palace, and the emperor has issued seven edicts in rapid succession. As a subject, I had no choice but to comply.] National Master Cheng Yuxiao replied to Xu Jin, avoiding the weightier issues, even slightly justifying Qian’an Emperor.

He didn’t dare let Xu Jin, the seedling of the future, develop hostile feelings towards the current emperor so early.

Xu Jin frowned!

So that was it!

The Tianyang Star Lord had once again stormed into the Wanyi Imperial Palace.

Was the Tianyang Star Lord really so powerful?

Xu Jin even subconsciously thought that the emperor was coerced by the Tianyang Star Lord!

But Xu Jin still pressed on with his question, [State Preceptor, are we just going to let Hu Zhen’s Primordial Spirit go, just like that, let this demon leave? Is there really no way to kill Hu Zhen anymore?]

Xu Jin sent another Starlight Transmission.

[There isn’t a way left, at least not for me! Now, at least now, Hu Zhen can’t die by my hand, or by the hand of any Dachen expert! We can only... look for an opportunity in the future!] The State Preceptor replied to Xu Jin, his reply still heavy with difficult emotions.

Seeing the response, Xu Jin’s heart sank abruptly, and his anger shot straight to his forehead.

After all, they still had to let that scoundrel Hu Zhen return alive!

Xu Jin was filled with hatred.

In the sky, Cheng Yuxiao sighed helplessly, and the next instant, without a word, he let go of the Primordial Spirit of Hu Zhen that he had been gripping tightly.

”Ha ha ha ha!”

Knowing he was saved and regaining his freedom, Hu Zhen’s Primordial Spirit burst into loud laughter, not rushing back but instead glaring venomously at Cheng Yuxiao.

”Cheng, I remember today’s grudge. Just you wait, you just wait!”

After throwing down these fierce words, Hu Zhen flew shakily towards the members of Tianyang Star Hall at the other side of Shilong County.

Today, he had lost his physical body, and his Primordial Spirit had been flayed 157 times by Cheng Yuxiao, suffering severe damage!

Despite his Primordial Spirit appearing intact, it was only a few cuts away from collapse.

After all, he had previously only formed a Primordial Spirit Embryo.

Hence, the speed at which Hu Zhen flew towards the members of Tianyang Star Hall was exceedingly slow.

Slower than many in the Star Casting Realm.

As for the members of Tianyang Star Hall, especially the progeny of the Hu Family, they initially intended to receive back the Primordial Spirit of their ancestor.

But after being bombarded earlier by Cheng Yuxiao’s outburst, Family Head Hu Jinsan was severely wounded on the spot.

Not just them, even Qin Da, the Third Elder of Tianyang Star Hall, didn’t dare approach and provoke Cheng Yuxiao’s wrath at this moment.

Everyone understood that Cheng Yuxiao, having been forced to release Hu Zhen, whom he had publicly vowed to flay alive, must be feeling incredibly frustrated.

So they let Hu Zhen’s Primordial Spirit come over by itself.
