Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1184: Chapter 471: Breakthrough and Sudden Internal and External Crisis

At this moment, the Hall Master was killed in a single move, strung together like a gourd.

Then, seventy or eighty Fifth Tier members who weren’t strung together were screaming and wailing, even begging their fellow sect members for help.

In an instant, the morale of the army completely collapsed!

One by one, their mentality just broke!

Broken defense, that feeling.

How can they fight like this!

Some were bewildered and helpless.

Some ran away!

Others simply surrendered.

Under such circumstances, the West Sea State Branch Dean Lou Zhi and Yang Miaozhen’s group, who had just arrived, witnessed an astonishing scene.

Before they even made a move, the elites of the Tianyang Star Hall West Sea State sub-hall had already collapsed!

Moreover, all the Sixth Tiers were dead, and more than half of the Fifth Tiers had fallen in battle.

The remaining Fourth Tier, Third Tier, had mostly collapsed as well!

The junior sisters of Feiyan Academy, who were itching for a big fight, were instantly disheartened.

Boring!

There weren’t any worthy opponents at all.

They crumbled at a touch!

However, when the group of junior sisters looked at their senior brother Xu Jin, their gazes had completely changed.

The previous senior brother was just a bit strong, and given that he was the only male in Feiyan Academy, and was handsome, everyone liked him.

Now, it’s pure admiration for his strength!

In their eyes, Xu Jin appeared like a star!

He casually blasted two Fifth Tier Early members from the West Sea State branch, and their gazes towards Xu Jin were as if they had seen a ghost or a god.

A single person wiped out all the Fifth and Sixth Tier experts of a Tianyang Star Hall sub-hall in just a few breaths!

In other words, if he were to come after them, he could slaughter their entire branch single-handedly.

No wonder he’s so young and can already assume the position of Vice Academician!

With such strength, being an Academician would even have my full support!

Suddenly, Lou Zhi realized something.

Vice Academician might just be a transitional position for him.

With such power, taking up the role of Vice Academician is just a formality.

No, it’s not just going through the motions, he’s likely cultivating his own team.

In a flash of realization, Dean Lou Zhi looked at Xu Jin as if he had seen a Supreme Treasure.

Autumn exam!

This year’s autumn exam was delayed!

Moreover, he has a grandson with exceptional talent participating in the autumn exam.

That...

With a turn of thought, Lou Zhi made a decision.

After the battle, he had to have a good talk with his grandson.

No matter what the results of the autumn exam were, he must enter this Vice Academician’s academy.

Unwilling?

Still unwilling?

In front of his grandson, he’s the grandfather!

Right, which academy was it?

Wukong Hall!

Yes, Wukong Hall, Mr. Xu, Vice Academician Xu.

Lou Zhi instantly remembered it firmly!

Unknowingly, Lou Zhi’s attitude toward Xu Jin had taken a drastic turn!

Before, it was just a routine matter.

Now...

The battle ended extremely quickly.

In less than 15 minutes, the battle was completely over.

Out of 1,487 disciples of the Tianyang Star Hall West Sea State sub-hall, over 700 were killed, over 700 captured, and more than 30 were missing.

They were probably out on assignment or stationed outside the sub-hall.

Lou Zhi had already ordered the state city to be sealed off!

”Mr. Xu, Vice Academician, truly a young hero! I didn’t understand before how you could assume the role of Vice Academician at such a young age, but now, I understand!

Well-deserved, truly well-deserved!”

As Lou Zhi approached Xu Jin, he directly started flattering him.

Although Xu Jin knew it was flattery, he still enjoyed it.

Emotional value, after all.

”What should we do next? Please advise us, Mr. Xu, Vice Academician.” Lou Zhi’s attitude was very sincere.

”First, clear out the inside and outside of this sub-hall, take everything you can, don’t leave a single piece of loot unclaimed, tally, and inventory them, but make it quick.

Once everything is done, everyone is to withdraw back to the sub-branch, and then activate the Hospital Protection Formation.

To prevent a counterattack from the experts of the Tianyang Star Hall!” Xu Jin instructed, which was also their pre-set plan with the National Master.

”Understood, I’ll arrange it right away!” Lou Zhi said.

While speaking, Xu Jin sent a Starlight Transmission to National Master Cheng Yuxiao.

[National Master, the task in West Sea State is complete. I can depart to support at any time.]

[Good, thank you for your effort. Go to the Star-picking Tower and await orders, there’s currently no situation, but if there is, you will be deployed immediately.]

[Understood.]

******

Inside the main hall of Tianyang Star Hall, shadows flickered as the elders flew out from their respective positions or places of seclusion, heading straight to the main hall at the fastest speed.

In the fleeting moment, the Star-picking Orders on them flashed with starlight repeatedly.

All were of the utmost urgency!

In the main hall, the Star-picking Order of the Tianyang Star Lord flashed rapidly without pause.

All were of the utmost urgency!

Each sub-hall master has the qualification to send him a direct Starlight Transmission, but generally, they don’t dare to send it without reason.

But now, they’re going crazy!

The Tianyang Star Lord’s heart sank, almost overwhelmed by all the requests.

Requesting aid!

Since Cheng Yuxiao announced the retribution for the national grievance, the urgent Starlight Transmissions he received haven’t ceased.

In the Great Chen Realm, the sub-halls in various states and counties were simultaneously attacked by the elites of Great Chen.

It seems Great Chen had planned this long in advance!

But how could Cheng Yuxiao have dared?

At this moment, Tianyang Star Hall was also filled with shock and anger.

In fact, regarding whether Great Chen would retaliate during the national mourning, a high-level meeting was convened about seven or eight days ago.

The result of the discussion was they wouldn’t!

Indeed, Great Chen’s strength had surged significantly this year.

However, the Tianyang Star Hall stationed in the Great Chen Realm and the Cangming Star Hall were of the same nature.

If Great Chen attacked the forces of the Tianyang Star Hall stationed in the Great Chen Realm, where would that leave the Cangming Star Hall?

At that time, the Cangming Star Hall would likely also break ties with Great Chen!

Both joining forces, fighting to the end, maybe only Wanyi might survive!

Moreover, in terms of strength, the Tianyang Star Hall had absolute confidence.

While Great Chen’s power had increased significantly this year, it still hadn’t caught up with the Tianyang Star Hall.

Whether in population, resources, or the number of experts, they were far inferior!

So, upon analysis, Great Chen wasn’t ready to break the alliance.

Nor was it the right time.

Just as the internal crisis was surfacing within the Tianyang Star Hall, they planned to deal with the internal issues first before turning around to handle the increasingly disobedient Great Chen.

Unexpectedly, Great Chen acted first!

Suddenly, the Tianyang Star Lord remembered an intelligence report received ten days ago.

It said that on the Cangming Star Hall’s side, they gained insights from deducing the Great Gathering Star Pattern and ordered all sub-hall and academy disciples to retreat and study the new Great Gathering Star Pattern!

At that time, he found it strange that the Cangming Star Lord was willing to spend over a decade to comprehend the Seventh Tier Upper Great Gathering Star Pattern?

With that time and effort, wouldn’t it be better to study other Main Battle Star Patterns?

Especially those like Elephant Patterns.

He found it strange then.

Now it seems, it was all a guise!

All of it was a guise!

Great Chen must have secretly communicated with the Cangming Star Hall and reached a consensus.

In an instant, the Tianyang Star Lord Zhuang Zhen had a feeling of being backstabbed!

There had been backstabbing before, but that was just for the sake of interests.

But this time, it’s a real backstab!

Suddenly, the Tianyang Star Lord realized the seriousness of the situation!

Four words appeared in his mind: Internal strife and external threats!

At this thought, the Tianyang Star Lord was suddenly shocked: When did the mighty Tianyang Star Hall become like this?

The next moment, Great Elder Sun Xianzu was the first to rush into the main hall, and with only a hurried greeting, he said, ”My Lord, this is a disaster, Cheng Yuxiao has actually attacked our sub-hall members, the elites of the Wanyi sub-hall have been slaughtered by him.

The ordinary disciples have all been captured!”

”My Lord, latest news, the Jing State sub-hall and various county academies have been attacked, two county academies have already been breached, the others are still resisting and have requested aid!”

”My Lord, the sub-halls and academies in Song State have been attacked, requesting aid!”

”My Lord, the sub-halls and academies in Thunder State have been attacked, requesting aid!”

...

”My Lord, this is terrible, some surviving disciples urgently report that the sub-hall in West Sea State has been breached, all core elites below the hall master and vice hall master have been killed, ordinary disciples captured!” Qin Da, the fourth elder who rushed into the hall, exclaimed.

”What? Another sub-hall has been breached!” Great Elder Sun Xianzu and a group of Eighth Tier elders were all shocked.

The Wanyi sub-hall being breached was understandable!

But the West Sea State...

The next moment, the gaze of all Eighth Tier elders turned to the Tianyang Star Lord.

”My Lord, time is pressing, please make a swift decision!”
