Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1180: Chapter 470: Bidding Farewell to the Late Emperor

November 3rd, afternoon, Dachen, West Sea State.

Xu Jin quietly led a group out of the Star-picking Tower Branch in West Sea State.

The Dean of the Great Chen Xihai State Branch, Lou Zhi, rushed forward to greet them, asking, ”May I ask which one of you is Vice Academician Xu?”

”That would be me.”

In fact, from their cultivation level, Lou Zhi had already roughly guessed. After all, among the dozen or so people he was welcoming, there was only one Sixth Tier expert.

However, seeing Xu Jin’s young face, he was still a bit surprised.

This age?

Such a young Vice Academician had never been seen in the history of the Great Chen National Daoist School.

But the cultivation level couldn’t be faked.

”Please.”

Suppressing many doubts, he led Xu Jin and his group into the branch, but upon seeing the people behind Xu Jin, his expression grew even stranger.

Aside from a one-armed male oddball who could control a sword to fly, the rest were all females.

However, at this time, he could only follow orders to welcome them and dared not ask more.

Just that due to it being a national mourning period, most of the staff at the National Taoist Institute were all dressed in white.

The group of women dressed in white behind Xu Jin looked particularly charming.

A few moments later, Lou Zhi led everyone into a vacant grand hall. Before he could speak, Xu Jin said, ”Dean Lou, I need the latest map of the entire West Sea county city, including each county city.”

”Yes.”

Lou Zhi handed over several pieces of Jade.

In fact, Xu Jin already had maps of the West Sea state city and county city, but he was now re-confirming them.

Sweeping over them with Divine Thought, Xu Jin compared them to the map he had.

He found subtle differences, but the main map information, such as the positions of their action targets, remained unchanged.

[State Preceptor, I have led the team to the target location and can act at any time.]

[Awaiting orders.]

After receiving a reply from the State Preceptor, Xu Jin softly said, ”Dean Lou, we will rest for a while. If there’s anything, I will inform you.”

”Understood.”

Lou Zhi nodded and as he withdrew, he couldn’t resist the doubts in his heart and asked, ”Vice Academician Xu, may I ask what mission brings you here this time? Could you reveal anything in advance so that I may prepare?”

Xu Jin glanced at Lou Zhi, and that look made Lou Zhi, whose cultivation level was at The Sixth Tier and Fifth Layer, tremble internally. He dared not meet the gaze and quickly looked away.

”We are also waiting for orders.”

”Understood.”

Lou Zhi bowed and retreated, and the oppressive feeling in his heart finally disappeared.

”Strange, clearly his cultivation is only the Sixth Tier Third Layer, much lower than mine, but one look from him can instill fear in the depths of my heart? Who exactly is this person?”

After Lou Zhi left, the beautiful faces of the senior and junior sisters from Feiyan Hall, who had been tense, could no longer hold it in and gathered around Xu Jin.

”Senior Brother, when did you return?”

”Senior Brother, where did you go before all this?”

”Senior Brother, they said you were dead before, we all...”

...

This situation made Ying Ge step aside, and even Xu Jin found it hard to handle.

Being surrounded by numerous beauties all focused on him, and since he couldn’t fight them, how could he endure it?

”Quiet, all of you!”

With one shout from Senior Sister Yang Miaozhen, all the chirping voices ceased immediately, leaving only solemnity.

This is probably what they mean by ’one thing subdues another.’

This secret mission was extremely confidential.

Once the action starts, in addition to local forces in various states and counties, a task force will precede them to each state for the main clearance.

Each County Taoist Institute also sent support.

But due to the high confidentiality, the main task force was the small group that had been secretly cultivating together before.

Only each one of them had their confidants.

Xu Jin was somewhat lacking in this regard.

At this time, Xu Jin realized the importance of having confidants.

Fortunately, Teacher Liu Qingzhu waved his hand and assigned the main force of Feiyan Hall to assist him.

As for Liu Qingzhu himself, he gathered personnel from other Vice Academicians.

With Liu Qingzhu’s position, he could maintain control.

Then, the young ladies of Feiyan Academy were surprised to see the resurrected Xu Jin.

Although there had been various rumors saying Senior Brother Xu Jin would rise from the dead.

But there was nothing like seeing the real person in shock.

Having started the mission from the beginning, they now found themselves in a moment of leisure, each desperate to have Xu Jin answer all their questions, and to sap all the energy from him.

”Each of you, focus on your cultivation. In the future, you will have to call him Uncle!”

”What?”

After Yang Miaozhen’s words subdued all the junior sisters, she threw out another bombshell.

”What’s there to wonder about? Junior Brother Xu is now in charge of Wukong Hall. Didn’t you hear the Dean address him as Vice Academician?

You will have to call him Uncle in the future, understood?” Yang Miaozhen scolded.

”Senior Sister, if we call him Uncle, and you haven’t become a Vice Academician, don’t you also have to call him Uncle instead of Junior Brother?” The charming young sister Jiang Yuan abruptly raised her head and asked.

Yang Miaozhen was momentarily speechless.

It did sound quite correct.

But the dignity of the Senior Sister cannot be lost!

She poked a finger at Jiang Yuan’s chest, which was nothing out of the ordinary, and glared, ”You talk too much.”

Jiang Yuan stuck her tongue out, made a funny face, and hid behind Second Sister Tang Chuo.

”Alright, everyone, take a moment to meditate and recover, check your Star Artifacts, Emblems, and Pills, and be ready for orders at any time,” Xu Jin smoothed things over.
