Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1402: Chapter 561: The Faster, the Better

King of Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang, watched helplessly as eleven of his Eighth Tier followers vanished in a mere six or seven breaths.

The likely reason for their disappearance was they were slain by Seven Kill’s descendant.

And during these six or seven breaths, King Ju Zhang and the Blood God Sect Hierarch had barely chased over two hundred miles.

A mere fraction of the six thousand miles distance.

Ju Zhang’s heart was nearly bleeding.

The loss was too great.

He governed the Eight Desolate Continent, providing various resources to cultivate Eighth Tier experts of all clans, repeatedly activating the Limit Breaking Secret Realm through his father’s connections, applying for support from the Ancestor Realm, and his family also offered significant assistance.

He had thus increased the number of Eighth Tier experts in the Eight Desolates Royal Court to over sixty.

This gave him the confidence to wage war against the Human Clan of the present world.

Yet, nearing the war’s start, while pursuing the Seven Kill’s descendant, his Eighth Tier experts decreased by fifteen.

A quarter of the combat power!

How could King Ju Zhang not be heartbroken?

Therefore, when Heaven and Earth Authority locked onto Xu Jin’s presence, he noticed two Eighth Tier experts managed to escape after Seven Kill’s descendant’s surprise attack.

Upon suddenly witnessing this scene, he became quite anxious, his heart hanging in suspense.

Afraid that these two Eighth Tier clan members wouldn’t escape.

Seeing them escape far, with Seven Kill’s descendant not pursuing, Ju Zhang breathed a great sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease.

However, just in those four or five breaths, Seven Kill’s descendant’s presence dramatically fluctuated, and then vanished instantly, disappearing from his Heaven and Earth Authority lock.

Used Space Movement Star Skill, too fast, couldn’t be tracked.

Yet at this very moment, King Ju Zhang suddenly realized.

Damn it, traitors!

The damned traitors, found them!

Those damned traitors must be those two clan members who escaped death from Seven Kill’s descendant.

Quite simply, Seven Kill’s descendant has Space Star Technique, even if those two Eighth Tier clans escaped for 15 minutes, they could easily be caught.

Killing nine Eighth Tiers, then easily picking off two Early Period Eighth Tiers, would be a cinch for Seven Kill’s descendant.

Why didn’t Seven Kill’s descendant kill them?

Furthermore, among the first group of five slain, one managed to escape, and now the reason is found.

In an instant, King Ju Zhang’s heart felt as if gripped by an invisible giant hand, pained and unable to breathe!

Those two carried the presence of Golden Pillar Saint Clan.

They were of his bloodline clan!

Clan members as close as brothers!

Why did they betray him!

Why did they harm him!

In this moment, Ju Zhang wished he could personally tear those two traitors limb from limb.

Ruined his plans!

Nearly destroyed the future of Eight Desolate Continent!

Damnable!

Infuriating!

Deserves death!

”Prince Ju Zhang, what’s wrong?” asked the Blood God Sect Hierarch beside him, already noticing Ju Zhang’s change in presence and emotion, as Ju Zhang’s speed had slowed.

”Lost the pursuit...”

Ju Zhang forcibly suppressed the indignation in his heart.

Family scandals must not be publicized.

In front of outsiders, he needed to preserve some dignity for himself.

The sensing attempts were exhausted, and this pursuit had ended.

”Mr. Yu, in seven days I’ll again trouble you, as previously promised Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures will be delivered in full,” Ju Zhang stated with slight reluctance.

Originally, the provision of these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures was poised for complications; now it seems they must be given.

”No problem, as long as Your Highness commands, I will absolutely obey loyally,” he responded.

Although knowing this was unlikely, the words still felt comforting to hear.

A few breaths later, Ju Zhang and the Blood God Sect Hierarch separated.

The Blood God Sect Hierarch went to rendezvous with the sect’s eight Eighth Tier members, also fearing his Eighth Tier subordinates might be ambushed by this human clan prodigy.

Ju Zhang also began assembling his other Eighth Tier followers.

minutes later, after the Blood God Sect Hierarch and his Eighth Tier rejoined, they returned to Blood Moon City.

A few breaths later, Xu Jin received a message from his mentor Qi Shanye.

It was said the Blood God Sect Hierarch had returned to Blood Moon City, but no sign of King of Eight Desolates Ju Zhang.

Previously, Qi Shanye had messaged Xu Jin, informing him the Blood God Sect Hierarch and Ju Zhang had flown swiftly out of Blood Moon City, heading in his direction.

This greatly frightened Xu Jin.

After deploying several Sumeru Spaces, he immediately used Space Movement multiple times, then sped in one direction.

No amount of caution was too much regarding an enraged Ninth Tier.

Upon hearing of the Blood God Sect Hierarch’s return, Xu Jin breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If only pursued by one Ninth Tier, he could still escape.

minutes later, Xu Jin received a Starlight Transmission from Ju Qi, stating that their tribal elder assembled them, and he already saw King of Eight Desolates Ju Zhang.

Another 15 minutes later, a transmission from Ju Man claimed the King Ju Zhang began leading them back, seemingly the task ended, but the king’s mood was very poor, scaring everyone into silence!

Upon receiving these messages, Xu Jin finally exhaled completely.

Ju Zhang leading the return marked the end of this third pursuit.

However, the reason for ending was certainly not due to heavy losses.

Despite Xu Jin’s attack causing heavy losses by taking out nine Eighth Tiers, the main force truly against Xu Jin—the two Ninth Tiers—did not suffer much loss.

Thus, Ju Zhang ending this pursuit likely involved another important factor.

Yet, Xu Jin currently does not know this important factor.

Though seemingly temporarily safe, Xu Jin dared not relax his vigilance. After finding a resting place, constantly using Heavenly Person Sensing, Overseeing Eye, ensuring safety, only then did he use Warm Dream to enter a deep sleep.
