Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1225: Chapter 490: Cataclysm

Inside Pill Dawn Hall, Xu Jin looked at the candidate pointed out by National Master Cheng Yuxiao with a look of astonishment.

”National Master, I can understand excluding the suspicion of Wang Kan, the Great Elder of Tianyang Star Hall, and I agree it is correct.

But why did you directly exclude Xiahou Shen, the Commander of Dahong Battle Zone in the Galaxy Battlefield?

And directly determine that Emperor Yang Yun of Dahong is the most likely candidate?”

After pausing, Xu Jin added, ”National Master, logically, the Vice Sect Hierarch of the Blood God Sect controls the channel for transporting personnel and supplies from the Galaxy Battlefield to the Eight Wilderness Continent. In this situation, shouldn’t the most suspicious person be Xiahou Shen, the Commander of the Dahong Battle Zone?”

Upon hearing this, National Master Cheng Yuxiao laughed.

”Reasonably!

Of course, this has a lot to do with your lack of understanding of the operation mechanism of the Galaxy Battlefield.

Let me ask you, do you think my control over the Dachen Battle Zone in the Galaxy Battlefield is limited or extensive?” Cheng Yuxiao asked.

”National Master, you definitely have a certain level of control over the Dachen Battle Zone in the Galaxy Battlefield, but personally, I think this control is quite limited.”

”Precisely.

You see, this shows your lack of understanding of the power structure of the Galaxy Battlefield.”

While speaking, National Master Cheng Yuxiao used projected starlight to outline a simple structure for Xu Jin.

”Many people might think the power of a battle zone in the Galaxy Battlefield concentrates in the hands of the Commander of the battle zone.

Actually, not so, the subordinates like military advisers, ministers of war, supervisors, military supply officers, military lords, the respective military lords’ camps, and affiliated ministers of war and military advisers, including various officers at all levels, make up a complex composition.

The factions are abundant.

Military mobilization and arrangement are systematic.

Your mentor, Kou Jing, for example, is stationed in the Dachen Battle Zone.

He comes from the Great Chen National Daoist School, naturally prioritizing the interests of the Taoist Institute and the Empire.

He serves to assist and supervise the Commander of the Dachen Battle Zone.

There are many others with similar backgrounds.

And often, it’s the middle and high-level generals who actually execute the tasks and are the most important.

Internally, Dahong is similar.

If this Vice Sect Hierarch of the Blood God Sect was Xiahou Shen, the Commander of the Dahong Battle Zone, he might complete a transmission once or twice.

But repeatedly, he would inevitably be exposed.

Because this involves too many generals and personnel.

It cannot be coordinated and completed solely by the Commander of Dahong Battle Zone.

Otherwise, Tianyang Star Hall would have become aware long ago.

Thus, I deduced that the one orchestrating the conspiracy behind the scenes is most likely Emperor Yang Yun of Dahong, who possesses this ability and time for planning.

He has been ruling for seventy years.

However, Xiahou Shen, the Commander of Dahong Battle Zone, has only been in position for twelve years.

Moreover, during the last incident at Luomei Manor, the high-level Blood God Sect arrived extremely swiftly.

This is beyond Xiahou Shen’s capabilities.

As Commander of the Battle Zone, his every move is scrutinized.

Disappearing for half a day or a day occasionally isn’t a big deal.

But frequent travels between the Galaxy Battlefield and the present world would draw too much attention, making it difficult to conceal from the public,” National Master Cheng Yuxiao said.

”National Master, are you saying the elderly eighth-tier peak expert who appeared last time at Luomei Manor was indeed the Vice Sect Hierarch of the Blood God Sect?

Possibly Emperor Yang Yun?” Xu Jin asked in confusion.

”The possibility is very high.

You see, there was a detail at the time.

When escaping, an eighth-tier mid-level expert self-immolated his primordial spirit to create a rapid escape opportunity for that eighth-tier peak.

Someone who can make an eighth-tier mid-level expert burn his primordial spirit to protect must hold a very high status,” National Master Cheng Yuxiao said.

Xu Jin nodded, but started pondering.

”If that’s the case, it’s quite difficult to obtain a usable identity from this Vice Sect Hierarch,” Xu Jin said.

”Difficult, but not really!

In fact, if this Vice Sect Hierarch is indeed Emperor Yang Yun of Dahong, the matter isn’t as difficult as imagined,” Cheng Yuxiao said.

”What do you mean by that, National Master?”

Upon hearing this, National Master Cheng Yuxiao first smiled wryly, ”Actually, if you look at my handling of the Qian’an Emperor, you will understand.

The so-called enmity with the Tianyang Star Lord must also be leveraged.

Many times, the higher the position, the more emphasis on interest exchange.

A peasant’s rage merely spills blood!

But we, holding high positions, think first about the big picture, about the gains and losses of interests.

Not about emotions.

This is the key breakthrough point.

Think carefully to see if you can come up with something good.”

Xu Jin gently nodded.

Having tempered himself for so long, he had long understood.

At the same time, he also comprehended the meaning of National Master Cheng Yuxiao.

As long as the grand scheme is found, and the trend of interests is pinpointed, many seemingly impossible things will become possible.

National Master Cheng Yuxiao remained silent, quietly watching Xu Jin in thought.

He was nurturing Xu Jin.

In the future, with Xu Jin overseeing Dachen, he no longer worried about matters of strength.

Given the current situation, as long as Xu Jin’s cultivation level reaches the mid to late seventh tier, he can confidently entrust Dachen to Xu Jin.

Now, he is cultivating Xu Jin’s qualities as a high-ranking official.

Not critical for use, but essential for understanding.

Thus, National Master Cheng Yuxiao quietly watched Xu Jin, occasionally pouring him a cup of tea while sipping his own.

After a long while, Xu Jin’s furrowed brow suddenly relaxed, and he looked at National Master Cheng Yuxiao, saying, ”National Master, I have an idea.”

”Oh, let’s hear it,” Cheng Yuxiao smiled, adopting a listening posture.
