Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 987: Chapter 395: Three Rounds of Strategic Go

The next moment, National Master Cheng Yuxiao suddenly stood up tall, the sorrow on his face wiped away, ”How could I, Cheng Yuxiao, be indecisive! I just didn’t expect, after twenty years of loyalty between ruler and minister, that it would all be lost today.”

”Elder Peng, the foreign enemies are approaching. Go to the main building of the Star-picking Tower to hold the fort. When the enemy arrives, make your breakthrough,” National Master Cheng Yuxiao commanded.

”Rest assured, Palace Master. Once the enemy arrives, within 100 breaths, I will complete the breakthrough and join the battle,” Elder Peng replied.

”Yes, Elder Peng, rest easy as well. Now, as long as we’re in Wanyi, even if the three great Star Lords personally come, they won’t be able to kill me within 100 breaths!” Cheng Yuxiao laughed.

In the next moment, Elder Peng bowed to National Master Cheng Yuxiao, and then instantly turned into starlight and disappeared.

Subsequently, National Master Cheng Yuxiao sent out several orders through the Star-picking Order.

Before long, three Seventh Tier members of the Great Chen National Daoist School, Wanyi Taoist Institute Dean Ji Bang, the Left Libationer of the Great Chen National Daoist School, and the Supervisor of the Great Chen National Master Institute Chen Liao all arrived at Pill Dawn Palace.

However, Cheng Yuxiao first met with Left Libationer Meng Yanhui and Supervisor Chen Liao.

”Soon, foreign enemies will arrive. At that time, no matter what happens, you two will hold the fort at the National Taoist Institute and oversee its Big Array, absolutely preventing anyone from taking advantage.

Internally, fend off all intruders; externally, suppress all disturbances,” Cheng Yuxiao commanded.

Meng Yanhui and Chen Liao exchanged glances, their expressions turning exceedingly serious, ”We are at the National Master’s command.”

After the two left, Cheng Yuxiao brought Ji Bang into the hall.

”National Master, please give your instructions.”

Cheng Yuxiao glanced at Ji Bang, then said in a low voice, ”Uncle Ji, Xu Jin is currently inside the Imperial Palace.”

”What?”

Ji Bang’s face changed dramatically, and in the flicker of his eyes, he roughly understood the situation.

”National Master, he’s only Fifth Tier. Isn’t his combat power insufficient?”

”Before breaking through to the Fifth Tier, he could instantly kill a late Sixth Tier expert,” National Master Cheng Yuxiao said.

This made Ji Bang breathe a slight sigh of relief, but he also cursed, ”That girl Hongli, she truly has no heart. She didn’t think to inform me at all.”

”Not being mindful is a great blessing,” Cheng Yuxiao said.

Ji Bang was taken aback, nodded, ”True.”

”Uncle Ji, I asked you here for one thing. If a real battle breaks out, and if things indeed become dire over there, please be ready to assist that boy,” Cheng Yuxiao instructed.

”I understand! I will prepare immediately.”

”Good!”

The Ji Family has placed a great bet on Xu Jin, so asking Ji Bang to assist Xu Jin is naturally the best choice.

After Ji Bang left, Dong Zhao and Liu Qingzhu, who had received the orders, also arrived at Pill Dawn Palace.

After National Master Cheng Yuxiao gave them instructions, the two showed serious expressions and, after accepting the orders, discreetly left Pill Dawn Palace to make preparations.

With everything arranged, National Master Cheng Yuxiao brewed a pot of tea, drinking quietly, waiting in silence.

In the Star Patrol Camp, the first game between the old Ritual Officer and Great Governor Pei had ended, taking a little less than an hour.

The old Ritual Officer was defeated by one piece.

”Great Governor Pei, let’s play another.”

”Please, old Ritual Officer.”

The second game began.

And just at the start of the second game, National Master Cheng Yuxiao suddenly looked up towards the sky, where two incomparably bright starlights, like meteors, rushed towards Wanyi outside the city.

”They’re here!”

When Cheng Yuxiao rose, he immediately sent out two Starlight Transmissions, the first being to Great Governor Pei Ze.

[Great Governor, since the old Ritual Officer wants to play three games with you, then play three games. Missing even one piece won’t do.]

While playing, Great Governor Pei, having swept his thoughts over, understood, and simultaneously sent a Starlight Transmission back to National Master Cheng Yuxiao.

[Rest assured, National Master, in the presence of the order, three games, not one piece will fall short, the old Ritual Officer cannot leave the camp.]

At the same time, Xu Jin also received National Master Cheng Yuxiao’s Starlight Transmission.

[In ten breaths, act as you see fit.]

Upon receiving the Starlight Transmission, Xu Jin instantly felt a burst of joy.

Simultaneously, in the Observatory Pavilion, watching the two incomparably bright streams of light from afar, the Qian’an Emperor’s expression also became excited.

Excited, yet thrilled!

”Finally, it’s about to begin!”
