Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 685: Chapter 278 Extreme Emperor Star Lord_2

Dong Zhao made his decision and threw all five emblems to Xu Jin, ”Take these, they’ll replenish what you’ve used up.”

These were his spoils of war, and Xu Jin did not refuse.

He accepted them directly and did not share them with Mountain Master Dong Zhao.

The reason was simple: only in Xu Jin’s hands, after proper nourishment, could these Sixth Tier Upper emblems maximize their potential.

Next, Xu Jin and Mountain Master Dong Zhao began to discuss and exchange ideas.

After nearly six days of venturing into the Fifth-tier Spirit Martial Star Domain, Dong Zhao and his team had gathered quite a lot of intelligence.

This included the origins and purposes of Liu Meng and those two Blood Clothes from the Human Race.

They had discovered those two Blood Clothes individuals two days earlier.

Two hours later, Dong Zhao rubbed his brow and said, ”Give me one as well, I can hardly hold on.”

In the next instant, Xu Jin’s Warm Dream intruded but unexpectedly met resistance from Dong Zhao’s Divine Soul, albeit briefly, before Dong Zhao released his Divine Soul. A moment later, Dong Zhao fell into a deep sleep.

This gave Xu Jin food for thought.

Mountain Master Dong Zhao’s Divine Soul Cultivation seemed a bit stronger than he had imagined.

It didn’t seem like he had just broken through to the Fourth Tier.

But it wasn’t surprising; after all, Mountain Master Dong Zhao was a direct disciple of the former State Preceptor of the Da Chen National Daoist School.

Subsequently, Xu Jin casually cast a Warm Dream toward Liu Qingzhu, who had just finished dealing with Shen Wei’s corpse, plunging her into sleep too.

The Mingji Star Pattern sensed it.

All four of them were in poor condition, especially exhausting much of their Divine Soul Power.

Xu Jin himself continued to analyze the intelligence they had gathered.

The Blood God Sect!

This Fifth-tier Spirit Martial Star Domain actually showed traces of the Blood God Sect.

Clearly, the Blood God Sect had started to expand.

According to Dong Zhao, the sect controlled at least the Fire Bull Clan and Golden Snake Clan, which allowed them to assemble troops from both clans to besiege them, pushing them into a desperate situation.

However, to a certain extent, the Blood God Sect seemed influential but not in full control of both clans’ kings.

Otherwise, the simplest action would be to consolidate the Heaven and Earth Authority of both kings into one person’s hands, definitely exceeding thirty percent.

Gaining that Heaven and Earth Authority would greatly accelerate their trend toward unifying the Spirit Martial Star Domain.

But that wasn’t the case.

This meant that the Blood God Sect had significant influence over the Fire Bull and Golden Snake clans, but that influence had its limits.

Besides, according to Mountain Master Dong Zhao, their first four days had been quite smooth.

They had killed several Alien Race experts.

The Alien Race teams they encountered were also quite disorganized and random.

They had never faced two Alien Race teams attacking them at the same time.

But two days ago, the forces of the Fire Bull Clan and the Golden Snake Clan had united, showing great strategic strength.

Using a strategy of overwhelming numbers, they methodically sealed them in, with many Sixth Tier experts participating.

Before that, Dong Zhao had killed a Sixth Tier expert and seriously injured another.

And two days ago, when Dong Zhao and his team discovered those two Blood Clothes individuals, Liu Meng was with them.

It was pretty much confirmed that Liu Meng came from the Tianyang Star Hall.

It was certain that Tianyang Star Hall had cheated.

But they hadn’t obtained any evidence.

Even if Xu Jin now took Liu Meng’s corpse back, it would be useless.

The Tianyang Star Hall could easily disown him as simply a warrior who had been trapped in the Spirit Martial Star Domain previously!

That was normal.

Such cases occurred in other countries as well.

Moreover, Xu Jin also confirmed that Tianyang Star Hall had connections or colluded with the Blood God Sect.

As to how deep those connections were, it was hard to say.

The Blood God Sect in the present world was more evil than the Baidou Divine Sect.

But most of the notoriety of the Blood God Sect in the present world stemmed from using the blood of cultivators to put non-cultivators on the path of cultivation; however, their experts were relatively few.

What Xu Jin hadn’t expected was that within the star domain, the influence of the Blood God Sect was so substantial.

It indirectly controlled two Alien Race forces.

This was after all a Fifth-tier Star Domain.

What should they do next?

Xu Jin pondered over it himself and came up with three courses of action.

The first option was the safest: to leave.

Once Dong Zhao, Liu Qingzhu, and the others woke up, they would withdraw from the Fifth-tier Spirit Martial Star Domain together, and all five of them could retreat unscathed.

While there was still a day left until the end of the Lougong Battle, it was close enough.

This was the safest approach.

The second course of action was hunting.

The group of five would hunt Echo Four and Fifth-Tier experts in small-scale operations in the Spirit Martial Star Domain.

Their cooperation should be very efficient.

Under their joint effort, slaughtering Fourth-Tier Alien Races would be like slaughtering dogs; those below the Middle Period of the Fifth Tier could also be quickly killed, and those in the Late Period or even at the Peak were not difficult.

Even when encountering Sixth Tiers, they could still kill.

Such actions would earn them a large number of points.

After all, killing a Fourth-Tier Alien Race would also yield five points.

The five of them together, killing a few hundred, was certainly no problem.

This method wasn’t very risky either.

The third direction was a bit riskier and involved trying to break into a royal city of a certain clan, kill the king, and then investigate the Blood God Sect further.

This would be more difficult.

However, Xu Jin, deep down, still leaned towards the third option.

If Mountain Master Dong was cooperating, then the risk would be significantly reduced.

But to have a bunch of Vice Academicians join him in taking such a risk was...

Dong Zhao, Liu Qingzhu, and the others slept for two full hours.

Two hours under the influence of Warm Dream had them all revitalized, their conditions nearly restored to their peak.
