Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1014: Chapter 405: Repaying Kindness and Great Figures

May 8, Jinshan County.

The Star-picking Tower Branch behind the Jinshan Taoist Institute suddenly trembled slightly, and the moment a shadow appeared, a figure stepped out from the branch.

The Star Refining Realm disciple stationed at the Taoist Institute just glanced and hurriedly stood up, bowing, ”This is the Jinshan County Star-picking Tower Branch, please present your identity token.”

Xu Jin, who had just stepped out of the Star-picking Tower, gazed at the Jinshan Taoist Institute at the foot of the mountain, feeling inexplicably emotional.

A year ago, when he first arrived in this world, his father, Xu Dajiang, sent him to the Jinshan Taoist Institute’s Star Pointing in a state of confusion.

From panic, unease, and anxiety, he gradually settled down, leaving an extremely deep impression of the Jinshan Taoist Institute on him.

It was due to Ning Yuchan’s angel investment that he took his first step.

Otherwise, it’s hard to say where he would be now.

Nine months ago, when he left the Jinshan Taoist Institute, he traveled on the Mountain Master’s starship, taking more than half a day on the journey.

Now, on returning, it was instant.

The Star-picking Tower’s teleportation made it possible.

The changes in the world happen too quickly.

”Sir!”

While Xu Jin was feeling emotional, the disciple guarding the Taoist Institute behind him was so nervous that his palms were sweaty!

He wasn’t clear on Xu Jin’s cultivation level, but he could make comparisons.

In his perception, the aura of this expert in front of him was even stronger than Mountain Master Cao Chun.

A single prompting brought Xu Jin back from his reverie, and he casually handed over his token.

”Vice Supervisor of the National Taoist Institute...”

When verifying the identity token, the stationed disciple felt his scalp tingle.

A big figure!

A transcendent figure!

”Sir, I... I’ll notify right away...”

”No need. Don’t tell anyone about my visit,” Xu Jin instructed briefly, then immediately soared up towards Xu’s Manor.

However, just as Xu Jin took off, a red starlight shot up from the Taoist Institute towards his direction, catching up with him in just a few breaths.

When the red light was chasing, Xu Jin already sensed it.

He also knew who it was.

He didn’t pay it much mind.

After about a dozen breaths, Xu Jin landed on the ruins of Xu’s Manor.

At the moment of landing, Xu Jin’s gaze tightened.

”Foolish Emperor, I only regret letting you die too easily!”

The entire Xu’s Manor had been reduced to ruins.

Not only had the entire Xu’s Manor been slaughtered, but also set ablaze.

Now it was nothing but remnants and charred remains.

Looking at this, Xu Jin’s heart felt heavy beyond words.

Xu Jin had thought that the blame would be laid mostly on himself, so he took his father away.

Unexpectedly, the Foolish Emperor had directly slaughtered Xu’s Manor.

However, in Xu Jin’s perception, he couldn’t find a single corpse!

This both shocked and angered Xu Jin.

Could it be that the Foolish Emperor destroyed even the bodies of the elders and neighbors of Xu’s Manor!

Such cruelty?

The Mingji Star Pattern burst into full activation, and after a few breaths, Xu Jin arrived at a slightly hidden hollow at the foot of the mountain behind Xu’s Manor.

In the hollow, stood more than seventy graves of various sizes, overgrown with wild grass.

There were no headstones, only chaotic mounds.

Only in front of the innermost mound was a large stone with words engraved on it.

”The Tomb of Xu Gong, known as Dajiang.”

Xu Jin stood frozen.

His father wasn’t dead yet, he was still alive, how could there be a tomb?

Someone had used a huge stone as a monument.

It was clear it was rough, the words wobbly and crude.

With a sweep of his fingers, Xu Jin understood it was carved with Star Power.

The cultivation level was at most at the middle Star Casting Realm.

Who could it be?

Just as he was wondering, the red light fell from afar behind him, revealing a Fourth Tier Ninth Layer Peak cultivator.

An old acquaintance.

Tian Zhang!

The Star Patrol Guard Governor, Blood Slaughter Tian Zhang of Jinshan Taoist Institute.

At this moment, Blood Slaughter Tian Zhang looked at Xu Jin with a wary face, seeing Xu Jin turn around, he cautiously asked, ”May I ask who you are, and why have you come to the remains of Xu’s Manor?”

In this situation, Xu Jin had no other thoughts, with a thought, he instantly dispelled the illusion of the Hundred Illusion Star Pattern, revealing his true appearance!

”Xu Jin?”

Tian Zhang gasped sharply, ”You’re... still alive?”

”Governor Tian, I am indeed alive, as for the hidden matters, I won’t say much for now, here is my identity token.”

To prevent Tian Zhang from overthinking, Xu Jin threw him his identity token, which he only glanced at, causing Tian Zhang to be shocked once more.

Vice Supervisor!

This rank?

At least four tiers higher than his!

And this cultivation!

Fifth Tier Third Layer!

This...

Handing over his hand in respect, Tian Zhang was about to formally salute as a subordinate, but was stopped by Xu Jin.

”Governor Tian, I came for the matter of Xu’s Manor.”

Upon these words, Tian Zhang’s face changed greatly, ”Xu Jin, this matter... it’s not that we didn’t protect it! But the ones who came had orders...”

”I know it all.”

”Who established this grave?” Xu Jin no longer wanted to ask about the day’s massacre of Xu’s Manor.

He knew, the eunuch who came was in the Sixth Tier Late Period, beyond what Tian Zhang and others could handle.

Seeing that Xu Jin didn’t pursue the massacre matter, Tian Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, then sighed, ”The Angel wanted us to expose the traitors of Xu’s Manor for a thousand days. After the Angel left, I couldn’t bear it, so I quietly came at night and hastily prepared some graves, expressing a little concern.”

Hearing this, Xu Jin nodded slightly.

”Governor Tian, I appreciate it.”

”Ah...” Tian Zhang shook his head.

”Then who established my father’s grave?” Xu Jin suddenly asked.

”This... I don’t know.”

Tian Zhang shook his head, ”I came to collect the bodies seven days later, and when I arrived, the grave was already there, though it was also a new grave then.”
