Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 737: Chapter 298: Killing Two Birds with One Stone and Silence_3

”On this matter, if we can avoid antagonizing Dachen, let’s not do it!”

”Besides, if we must kill Xu Jin, find a way to pin the blame on Tianyang Star Hall.”

”Elder Huang, this is your area of expertise, it should not be a problem, right?” Cangming Star Lord said.

”Lord, rest assured, I will do my best.”

”Good, go ahead.”

After Elder Huang Kejia left with his men, Cangming Star Lord turned to give another order, ”Elder Sun, dispatch all the experts that you can from the Star Hall! This year Dachu must bear an additional 10% tax burden, coinciding with the Nine-star Tide, let’s mitigate the loss to the common folk as much as possible.”

”Your Majesty is benevolent!”

Cangming Star Hall’s Great Elder Sun Xianzu left to execute the orders.

During the Nine-star Tide, only the two major Star Halls still had the capacity to handle other matters.

In the Flame Horn Star Domain, Xu Jin had just slain a squad of the Alien Race and, after capturing and interrogating prisoners, had confirmed his own location.

The Star Gate is problematic in this respect.

The exit is fixed, but the entry is randomly transported.

On bursting in this time, Xu Jin hadn’t been very lucky; the bad news was that his landing point was within the territory of the Green Wolf Clan.

But the good news was that, although it was within the territory of the Green Wolf Clan, it was only about a thousand miles from the Flame Horn Royal City, which wasn’t far.

A thousand miles, Xu Jin spared no effort to rush on his journey, arriving in just over half a hour.

Another piece of good news was that the elite army led by the Green Wolf King was about five hundred miles ahead of Xu Jin.

Under normal circumstances, in another two hours, the elite army led by the Green Wolf King would be able to reach near the Flame Horn Royal City and then enter the present world through the Star Gate near the city.

A quarter and a half later, Xu Jin charged like a bulldozer and struck the elite army led by the Green Wolf King.

What was touted as an elite army only numbered ten thousand.

Five hundred were Fourth-tier elites, four thousand were Third-tier, and the rest were all Second-tier.

It seemed that there was a previous agreement with the Flame Horn King because the army was approaching the Flame Horn Royal City, so there were only two Fifth-tier Experts accompanying them.

This greatly facilitated Xu Jin.

He broke through the formation in just twenty breaths, slaughtering the Green Wolf King and two Fifth-tier experts and then quickly fleeing far away.

The remaining elite of the Alien Race had already descended into chaos.

Of course, Xu Jin also conveniently took the body of the Green Wolf King with him.

For safety, Xu Jin spent fifteen minutes refining the two Wind Series Heaven and Earth Star Wills that dropped from inside the Green Wolf King, completely merging them into this world, before he finally rushed towards the vicinity of the Flame Horn Royal City.

The operation was even smoother this time.

With the addition of two Initial-tier Green Wolf’s Hearts, paired with invisibility, Xu Jin quietly approached within twenty meters of the commanding Flame Horn King, and he was not yet detected.

He sprung a surprise attack.

A Spiral Flame Burst under Dazzling Purple Skyfire, coupled with a middle Seventh-tier Breaking Evil, instantly killed the Flame Horn King.

Afterwards, Xu Jin erected the Fish Curtain Golden Bell and, driven by the Earth Root brought by the Earth Origin Star Pattern, held his ground firmly, slaughtering two of the Flame Horn tribe’s Fifth-tier and several hundreds of Fourth-tier elites before he took a step forward and rushed into the Star Gate to leave.

”Kill!”

As soon as he passed the Star Gate, Xu Jin heard Gu’an County Magistrate’s roar of rage and the onslaught of attacks on himself, and the instant he thought to counterattack, he suddenly realized.

”It’s me!”

”So fast!” Gu’an County Magistrate was stunned, unable to describe his amazement.

To make a round trip from the Alien Race Star Domain in less than an hour and a half, wasn’t this speed too fast?

This was too heroic, right?

”There should be no problem on the other side now, the Flame Horn King has been killed, and the Alien Race is in complete chaos. You can seal this Star Gate,” said Xu Jin as he handed the Sealing Jade to the Gu’an County Magistrate and reported to the State Preceptor as well.

[Since it’s been dealt with inside the Star Domain already, I entrust the sealing of the Star Gate to you. Hurry back now! Your safety margin is running low.] National Master Cheng Yuxiao sent a Starlight Transmission.

[Yes, I am returning now.]

A few moments later, the Gu’an County Magistrate watched Xu Jin leave in the distance.

Xu Jin, taking to the stars, headed straight for Yangjiang county city.

Planning to leave from the branch of the Star-picking Tower in Yangjiang county city.

In just over 15 minutes, he arrived at Yangjiang county city, where, unknown when, a Fifth-tier expert had taken over to guard and verify identities at the branch of the Star-picking Tower.

This made Xu Jin frown.

Wasn’t it a waste to have a Fifth-tier disciple guarding the door here?

Everyone else was fighting tooth and nail!

And yet a Fifth-tier expert was idling here?

However, this wasn’t within Xu Jin’s jurisdiction. He would report it to the State Preceptor, glanced at Yangjiang county city, and was about to enter the Star-picking Tower to leave.

But when he turned back to gaze upon Yangjiang county city, he was stunned.

The time was a bit before 9 p.m., around 8 p.m. of his former life.

But the entire Yangjiang county city was eerily quiet.

Not to mention human voices, there wasn’t even a single light!

”Eh, why is Yangjiang county city so quiet?”

Xu Jin asked in astonishment, and the expression of the Fifth-tier disciple guarding changed abruptly!
