Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 619: Chapter 255 Embrace and Welcome_2

Before him, this member of the Purple Wing Royal Family had an aura of merely Third-level Star Refining Ninth Layer, but at such close range, even he, the king, couldn’t help thinking about worshipping him.

This made Zi Chi’s heart tremble, and suddenly he had a revelation.

Those two missing Thunder Feather Hearts must be on this person.

Other than that, there was no other reason.

”Great Commander Zi!” Across a hundred meters, Xu Jin bowed from afar.

Upon hearing this, Zi Chi was shocked again.

Now, the people who dared to speak of his former identity had all died, but this one...

”Who... who exactly are you?”

Xu Jin chuckled and instantly dissipated the Hundred-Transformation Star Pattern, revealing his true face.

In the next instant, Zi Chi’s eyes suddenly turned red, ”It’s actually you.”

It was that person who had been summoned personally by their former Purple Wing King to the Imperial Palace, the very one who had taken the two Thunder Feather Hearts.

Everything matched up.

”You... you dare to come back!”

”Why wouldn’t I come back?”

Xu Jin smiled, ”Today I have come to present a great gift to Lord Zi Chi.”

”Oh, what kind of gift?” Zi Chi questioned, puzzled.

In the next instant, a majestic Divine Soul fluctuation rose from Xu Jin’s body, and just as Zi Chi became alert, suddenly blood gushed from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

But his expression instantly fell into confusion.

Yet at the same moment, shock and fear emerged on his face.

Divine Soul Star Technique—Shock Dream!

Three breaths later, Zi Chi woke up, and instinctively turned to flee, but in the moment he intended to escape, his figure abruptly stopped, and the heart of the Thunder Feather in the Upper Star Palace shone brilliantly, gradually easing the fear in his mind.

Then behind Zi Chi, his purple wings sparked with Thunder Light, looking as though he intended to kill Xu Jin, but he forcefully controlled himself.

”This... this is the great gift you brought me!” Zi Chi struggled to suppress his rage and asked with both fear and anger.

”Of course! This is a life-saving gift! Just now, I merely let Great Commander Zi taste the sensation of being on the brink of death. Now, I will present this life gift, and Great Commander Zi should be able to appreciate the value of this present,” Xu Jin said with a smile.

For a moment, Zi Chi didn’t respond, ”Life-saving gift? Where is it?”

”Ah, Great Commander Zi, can you react a bit quicker! My life-saving gift has already been given. Otherwise, you would be a dead man by now,” Xu Jin stated.

Zi Chi suddenly realized with a chill.

Only then did he understand.

During the moments he had been enveloped in shock and fear, if this young man had attacked, he likely would have died.

However, he still could sense that this person’s aura was of Third-level Star Refining Ninth Layer.

Yet the taste of death just now truly inspired immense fear.

After thinking about it, Zi Chi asked, ”What exactly do you want?”

”Simple.”

Xu Jin snapped his fingers, ”First, Great Commander Zi, hand over the Thunder Feather Heart you refined and you remain as the king of the Purple Wing Clan.

Second, Great Commander Zi, release your Divine Soul, then let me control a thread of it. After that, the Purple Wing Clan would become a subordinate Star Domain to the Da Chen National Daoist School, and you just need to deliver tribute on schedule.

Of course, Great Commander Zi will naturally receive other benefits from the Da Chen National Daoist School.”

Upon hearing this, Zi Chi’s expression turned extremely grim.

He had heard of this condition a long time ago.

Back then, it was when Zi Hao was king that Cangming Star Hall had mentioned it.

Their demands were similar to those of Cangming Star Hall, but the benefits offered by Dachen were much more appealing.

The problem was, this young man before him was too terrifying.

In an instant, he could decide life or death.

Zi Chi’s mind churned with various thoughts, as he wanted to save his life, yet he didn’t want to lose his kingship or the Thunder Feather Heart he had just acquired.

There was reluctance, unwillingness, and anger.

The enemy before him was just a Dachen disciple of Third-level Star Refining Ninth Layer, only one!

If he were to surrender now...

Moreover, Zi Chi suddenly thought of another saying from the modern world.

It was something they had learned from the modern books when they invaded the modern world a few years ago.

Bluffing!

He believed the young Third-level Star Refining Ninth Layer in front of him was mostly bluffing.

It might just be that one strike.

Of course, he didn’t dare to take a risk.

After thinking, Zi Chi suddenly said, ”Sir, could I propose a condition?”

”Go ahead and speak your mind.”

Being able to negotiate meant there was a good chance of direct surrender, which would save Xu Jin a lot of trouble.

”Sir, if you want me to surrender outright, I have two conditions, let’s talk closer, lest my subordinates overhear.” While speaking, Zi Chi slowly approached Xu Jin.

Xu Jin indicated it was okay.

But inside, he sighed softly, it seems like it would take some effort.

This Zi Chi.

Was deceitful!

He feigned surrender, claiming to approach to state his terms, but what the Mingji Star Pattern sensed was that while Zi Chi approached, the strength of its power became stronger and stronger.

That indicated Zi Chi was activating Star Power.

What could be the purpose of activating Star Power while moving closer?

It was nothing but an attempt at a close-range surprise attack.

Zi Chi had exactly this in mind.

Their Purple Wing Clan was known for speed.

A hundred meters away, he felt that this man still had the potential to launch a Divine Soul attack.

But at about fifty meters, as long as he made a surprise attack, no one could avoid it.

With his Fourth Tier Seventh Layer Peak cultivation level, he would certainly be able to kill this man instantly.

Then, he would obtain the other two Thunder Feather Hearts.

Acquiring two more Thunder Feather Hearts, his power would significantly increase, and his kingship would be completely secured.

Even against the modern attacks from Cangming Star Hall, he would not be afraid.
