Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 736: Chapter 298: Killing Two Birds with One Stone and Silence_2

The Star Gate opened directly a hundred miles outside the Flame Horn Royal City, and the Alien Race that was storming in were all from the Flame Horn Clan.

According to the prisoners, the elite troops of the Green Wolf Clan would also arrive at the Star Gate soon, break through, and cause serious damage.

That is to say, a lot of reinforcements were still to come!

Under these circumstances, Xu Jin became even more resolute in his thinking.

The next instant, Xu Jin conveyed his idea to the State Preceptor Cheng Yue Xiao through the Star-picking Order.

Such major issues still had to be communicated to the State Preceptor.

”Do you have the confidence to return within two hours?” the State Preceptor sent a Starlight Transmission.

”As long as my luck isn’t too bad, I should be able to return within two hours,” Xu Jin confirmed.

”Good, you have two hours. After two hours, whether or not you come out, if I am free, I will come to your aid. If I am not, Elder Peng or another Seventh Tier will come to assist you.”

Having received an affirmative response from the State Preceptor, the next instant, Xu Jin handed over the Star Domain Mark of the Flame Wolf Star Domain he had prepared to the County Magistrate just in case.

”County Magistrate, hold steady. I will definitely relieve you of some pressure from the inside within half an hour!”

The next instant, Xu Jin leaped and vanished into the Star Gate.

Watching Xu Jin’s disappearing figure, the County Magistrate became solemn, ”Truly a brave warrior!”

The next moment, two more Third Tier members of the Alien Race charged out, and without another word, the County Magistrate rushed forward to meet them.

At the main hall of Tianyang Star Hall, the Great Elder Wang Kan hurried to meet with the Tianyang Star Lord.

”How’s the situation?”

”Lord, currently within the Dahong region, two Seventh-Order Star Gates appeared, four Sixth-Order Star Gates, eleven Fifth-Order Star Gates, twenty-seven Fourth-Order Star Gates, fifty-one Third-Order Star Gates, and sixty-five Second-Tier Star Gates.

The number of Star Gates that appeared during this Nine-Star Tide is twice as many as those that appeared during the triennial Star Tide.

Fortunately, Dahong was well prepared and has already dispatched most of the elite according to your orders, Lord.

In two to three days, we anticipate a complete suppression. Three to four days later, the Dahong region should return to peace, with no major losses,” Great Elder Wang Kan reported.

”What about Dachen, the Barbarian Clan, and Dachu?” Tianyang Star Lord inquired further.

”Lord, the Barbarian Clan has had worse luck this year, with more temporary star gates appearing than in any previous Nine-Star Tide. Dachen and Dachu are about the same. But Dachu and the Cangming Star Hall are wielding considerable power, handling the situation with ease.

Dachen, though, should be able to cope, albeit with some difficulty.”

After Wang Kan finished speaking, he suddenly added, ”Lord, I just received news that Xu Jin, a True Disciple from the Da Chen National Daoist School, was dispatched to seal a Fourth-tier Star Domain in Pill State, Yangjiang County, Gu’an County.”

Upon hearing this, the Tianyang Star Lord’s eyelids lifted sharply, ”What are your thoughts?”

”Lord, the Star-picking Tower is under temporary control, and it will take time to rush over!

Earlier, our attempt to assassinate him with a Fifth Tier Expert failed.

Given Xu Jin’s status today, he must have multiple Sixth Rank Top Grade Life-saving Emblems on him.

Therefore, why not send a Seventh Tier Expert to finish the job once and for all?” Wang Kan made a slashing gesture.

”Will they make it in time?”

”Hard to say! The nearest Seventh Tier Expert would need at least one and a half to two hours to fly there. A pity, if it weren’t for the Eighth Tier being too conspicuous, I would have personally made a move!” Wang Kan chuckled.

”If you were to act, there would indeed be no failure!

But the commotion would be too great.

It might even backfire!

Arrange it then.”

After speaking, Tianyang Star Lord’s eyebrows furrowed, and he suddenly added, ”In theory, Dachen is currently too short-staffed to arrange Seventh Tier personal protection for Xu Jin. To be safe, send two Seventh Tier Experts!”

”Wise decision, Lord!”

With a short salute, the Great Elder Wang Kan added, ”Lord, how about I send Vice Governor Hu Jinsan from the Hu Family? The death of Hu Zhen at Dachen’s hands has left the Hu Family simmering with anger.

They would surely put in their utmost effort in an assassination attempt against Xu Jin!

It is bound to succeed!”

”Hmm, not bad. Send someone reliable as well.”

As Great Elder Wang Kan received the orders, Tianyang Star Lord’s gaze shifted, ”Does Cangming Star Hall know about this?”

”Lord, they should be aware. Among the spies of our Tianyang Star Hall, there are some Three-faced Men, through whom we can leak the information to Cangming Star Hall. It’s very likely that Cangming Star Hall won’t pass up this opportunity to take action,” said Great Elder Wang Kan.

After a few moments of thought, the Tianyang Star Lord suddenly said, ”Let the Sixth Elder, Xia Zhong, be the other person. Only Xia Zhong can suppress Hu Jinsan.”

Wang Kan nodded in agreement but was slightly puzzled, ”What do you mean, Lord?”

”Tell Sixth Elder Xia Zhong that if an Expert from the Cangming Star Hall also arrives, then we should hold back and let the people from Cangming Star Hall take action, or we could secretly assist them in succeeding before exposing the Cangming Star Hall’s Expert!

At that time, the relationship between Cheng Yue Xiao or the Da Chen National Daoist School and Cangming Star Hall will definitely hit rock bottom.

Tell me, when the time comes, we approach Cangming Star Hall for an alliance, what choice will Cangming make?” Tianyang Star Lord said.

Great Elder Wang Kan’s eyes suddenly revealed a look of enlightenment, and he gave a thumbs up, ”Brilliant, Lord. This two birds with one stone strategy is perfect!”

”Go ahead, but by no means let that boy Xu Jin escape!”

”Yes!”

Inside the main hall of the Cangming Star Hall, the Cangming Star Lord was making similar arrangements while instructing the Seventh Elder, Huang Kejia, on the spot.

”Elder Huang, act on your own judgment when you get there! If Tianyang’s people arrive, avoid acting if possible. Better to let the villains from Tianyang do the dirty work. In the future, we intend to ally with Dachen to weaken Tianyang Star Hall.”
