Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1400: Chapter 560: Reborn Arm and Backstab

With two ninth-tier powerhouses here, he wouldn’t dare to be reckless.

”Where is the person?”

King of Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang, landed next to the Blood God Sect Hierarch and inquired, scanning the entirety of Blood Moon City. Apart from seeing numerous corpses, he didn’t find the heir to Seven Kills he was pursuing!

”Escaped!”

”What?”

”This person is more formidable than I imagined. He possesses an explosive secret technique for Divine Soul attacks, which directly caused my Primordial Spirit to tremble, and froze me in place. By the time I broke free, he had already flown out of my bloody curtain’s range and vanished without a trace, though I’ve injured him,” blithely said the Blood God Sect Hierarch.

Having weathered countless storms, no matter how severe the losses of the Blood God Sect, the Blood God Sect Hierarch remained calm and composed before others.

”This... when did he escape? Why didn’t you inform me earlier?” asked the impatient King of Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang.

”Not even 100 breaths ago!”

”100 breaths?”

King of Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang’s eyes sharpened, ”Mr. Yu, why... why didn’t you notify me? You have ruined my plans!”

As he stomped his foot, King of Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang was about to initiate the sensing secret technique, to sense the life aura resonating with his father, Golden Shuo True Monarch, to lock onto the heir of Seven Kills’ position.

By locking on again, he and the Blood God Sect Hierarch, two ninth-tier experts, could head over, and if they managed to catch up, there was still a high probability they could capture or kill him.

This was the last opportunity for sensing.

”Your Highness Ju Zhang, please wait a moment.”

The Blood God Sect Hierarch suddenly interrupted.

Ju Zhang frowned and looked at the Blood God Sect Hierarch.

”Your Highness Ju Zhang, don’t you find this situation peculiar? If this problem isn’t resolved, I believe even if you sense his location again, it would be useless,” the Blood God Sect Hierarch calmly stated.

”What’s peculiar? What problem?” Ju Zhang asked, puzzled.

”Your Highness Ju Zhang, start reviewing the process of this chase from today, and you may find that your target seems to predict our moves.

Every time, he’s one step ahead of us.

He’s even bold enough to directly attack within my Blood Moon City, significantly injuring my city’s experts.

When I arrived, he was wantonly killing my city’s seventh-tier experts and not only did he kill them, but he also fearlessly drew and collected their Sumeru Spaces.

You tell me, with two ninth-tier powerhouses and forty to fifty eighth-tier experts pursuing him, why is he so calm and fearless?

Isn’t it common sense for him to flee immediately after a raid inside Blood Moon City?” the Blood God Sect Hierarch questioned.

King of Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang, was no ordinary person; his intelligence was certainly intact.

Previously, he was just too engrossed to think along those lines.

Now, with a small hint from the Blood God Sect Hierarch, he immediately realized, ”Are you saying there’s a traitor among us?”

The Blood God Sect Hierarch remained silent, but the implication was evident.

”If there’s indeed a traitor, wouldn’t it be one of the personnel under you, Hierarch? My Eight Desolate Clan’s eighth-tiers have no possibility of defecting,” King of Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang, confidently stated.

Even as he spoke, the seed of doubt had already been planted.

Even if the likelihood was minimal, Ju Zhang decided to conduct an investigation after the chase was over.

”It could be, therefore, I’m conducting a check! I’ve already checked the surviving seventh-tier in Blood Moon City, and I will also check the eight-tier experts upon their return.

However, on Your Highness’s side, I suggest an investigation as well.

Otherwise, continuing the chase with a traitor will only create opportunities for the enemy,” the Blood God Sect Hierarch said.

Upon hearing this, Ju Zhang’s expression changed.

He wasn’t worried about a traitor but the latter part of the Blood God Sect Hierarch’s statement that triggered his thoughts.

Opportunities in battle!

A traitor creating opportunities!

If there’s truly a traitor!

In the next instant, King of Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang, operated the sensing secret technique at maximum speed, immediately sensing Xu Jin’s location.

Simultaneously, Ju Zhang invoked the Heaven and Earth Authority, and in an instant, continuously locked onto Xu Jin’s location.

But the moment he locked onto it, his gaze changed.

Why is it that near the aura of the heir to Seven Kills, there are five eighth-tier early and middle period Eight Desolate Alien Race auras?

These auras were too familiar to him!

Why is this happening?

Almost at the moment of Ju Zhang’s shock, those Eight Desolate Alien Race auras began disappearing rapidly!

In an instant, Ju Zhang’s expression drastically changed.

The heir to Seven Kills had gone to assault the eighth-tiers brought by them!

But, he had clearly instructed that the eighth-tier should be in teams of at least eleven; why was this group only five?

Which team was it?

He must send a warning.

Even if it was too late.

******

Rewind twenty breaths earlier, Xu Jin, using Space Oriented Movement and the Gaze of Overlook, quickly located the team where Ju Qi and Ju Man were.

Xu Jin was over five hundred li away from them.

However, Xu Jin did not rush to take action.

Even with two controlled Alien Race eighth-tiers, eleven eighth-tiers were still very stressful.

Especially if these two controlled eighth-tiers disobeyed at a critical moment.

Even if their Divine Soul was exploded, facing nine alone was still very dangerous.

But Xu Jin quickly thought of a strategy.

However, he was waiting for information.

Within a few breaths, Xu Jin received a message from his teacher, Qi Shanye, indicating that Ju Zhang had already arrived at Blood Moon City.

His current position was just over six thousand li from Blood Moon City.

No matter how fast Ju Zhang was, Xu Jin still had a certain amount of safe time.

Now the question is how to divide these eleven eighth-tier experts.

It must be a quick battle, swift and decisive.

If not, then it’s too risky.

[Ju Qi, discuss with Ju Man about splitting your team into two. You can make up the reason, but I assure you, whatever reason you use, once finished, there will be no leaks, because the dead don’t disclose information.] Xu Jin issued a command to the two alien races.
