Chapter 1243: Chapter 497: Old Matters
"What is the matter again?"
Inside the Tianyang Star Hall, looking at the Great Elder Wang Kan coming yet again, the Tianyang Star Lord appeared somewhat impatient.
Ever since the Tianyang Star Hall began its internal purge, digging deep to uncover members of the Blood God Sect within, although it wasn’t a state of panic, many had started to become more vigilant.
No one wanted to leave themselves open to criticism or cross the Tianyang Star Lord’s mood at such a time.
Take Great Elder Wang Kan for example, many things he could previously decide on his own, now he reported and sought approval for everything.
At first, the Tianyang Star Lord found it pleasing, feeling a sense of control over everything.
But as time dragged on, it began to irritate him.
Feeling that most of his energy was being consumed, even affecting the progress of breaking through the ninth tier.
Yet he couldn’t refuse the Great Elder’s requests to meet.
This was the second most important person under him in the Tianyang Star Hall, with a status even above the Da Hong Emperor; it wouldn’t be good if urgent matters were delayed.
"Lord, the Emperor has sent the Grand Steward of the Inner Court seeking assistance, saying that the main envoy of the Great Chen Mission’s combat power is extraordinary, fearing no one can control him on their side, asking Star Hall to send out a suppressor at the martial learning event in three days, to subdue the Great Chen Mission and curb Da Chen’s arrogance." Wang Kan said.
"On their side, aren’t there quite a few talents?
Can’t they handle it?
Who’s their envoy?" the Tianyang Star Lord asked.
"Lord, it is Xu Jin, the unrivaled genius of Da Chen who disappeared a year ago! He participated in previous expulsion battles and took the position of Vice Academician at the National Taoist Institute. The Shadow Hall began investigating but obtained little information. Today, his erupting strength is beyond ordinary.
An ordinary seventh-tier intermediary was subdued by him in one move, still at an unrivaled genius level.
The so-called death in battle last year was very likely a sham arranged by Cheng Yuxiao to protect him." Wang Kan reported.
Upon hearing this, the Tianyang Star Lord smirked coldly, "Does Cheng Yuxiao think Xu Jin’s wings have now hardened, so he released him?"
"This time, he is an envoy, hard to make a move.
Issue orders to tail him.
Wait until diplomatic affairs are finished, wait until this Xu Jin is alone, or appears at the Galaxy Battlefield, arrange for eighth-tier, and kill him directly!
It’ll serve as a warning for Cheng Yuxiao too!
Cheng Yuxiao has inflated too much in the past year or two!"
"Yes, I will arrange that. Lord, what about the martial learning three days later?"
Upon hearing this, the Tianyang Star Lord began to ponder, "Effortlessly suppressing a seventh-tier intermediary means having combat power to challenge ordinary seventh-tier later stages. Such a top-tier genius, our Star Hall also has two or three.
But if we send such top-tier talents, we can only cope, but not suppress Xu Jin.
Let Fu Ga go instead.
He has been secluded for over half a year now and should come out for some air."
"Lord, Fu Ga hasn’t broken through the seventh tier yet, has he? If using seventh-tier to deal with Xu Jin, it might not be good for the face of our Tianyang Star Hall." Wang Kan remarked.
"Not yet! But he is still at the extreme level, enhancing his cultivation level, compared to half a year ago, his cultivation has doubled already.
After this battle, he should be ready to make the final breakthrough." The Tianyang Star Lord said.
"Yes, I will take care of it now."
"Go ahead."
The Tianyang Star Lord waved his hand, and in the next moment, transformed into starlight, appearing inside the Star Dome Secret Realm to continue the enlightenment of the Divine Dao True Intent bestowed by the ancestral master.
This Divine Dao True Intent indeed is profoundly marvelous, rapidly guiding him on the ninth-order Star Pattern.
His goal is to utilize this Divine Dao True Intent to the fullest.
Otherwise, based on his accumulation, consuming two Divine Dao True Intents, within half a month he could break through.
*****
Inside the Four-direction Inn, Xu Jin and others hadn’t been residing for long when Wei Zhong, the Grand Steward of Da Hong Inner Court, and Shi Zhengjia from the Ministry of Rites arrived together.
Xu Jin welcomed them, nodded slightly, maintaining a stern demeanor, without uttering a word.
In the courtyard of Four-direction Inn, three captives whom Xu Jin had captured alive were still tied up like dumplings, standing in the corner.
"Lord Xu, the matter of entering the city was poorly arranged by our Da Hong, I beg Lord Xu’s pardon." Shi Zhengjia from the Ministry of Rites said.
"Mr. Shi, earlier, our Great Chen Mission had four hundred ninety-seven lightly injured, four severely injured, almost leading to casualties!" Xu Jin retorted coldly.
"I beg Lord Xu’s pardon, gifts will be sent later. This matter, there were reasons behind it.
The cousin of Marquis Taikang, his second son, third son, previously served at the sub-hall of Great Chen Song State in Tianyang Star Hall, unfortunately died in battle, hence his rash actions!
The Tianyang Star Lord himself has already issued an order.
His title was revoked, sent to serve on the latest Eight Wilderness’s defense line.
The decree is issued, Marquis Taikang Gong Bo’s residence has been reclaimed, currently sent to the frontline." Shi Zhengjia explained.
Xu Jin hearing this, glanced sideways at the Da Hong Minister of Rites, the meaning simple.
Just this?
At this moment, Wei Zhong, the Grand Steward of the Inner Court, spoke up, scolding lightly, "Bring Li Zhi here."
Instantly, Military Marquis Li Zhi, standing behind the Minister of Rites, turned exceptionally pale, "Grand Steward, I..."
In the next instant, Military Marquis Li Zhi’s mouth was sealed by Grand Steward Wei Zhong using Star Power, "The Emperor says, when welcoming the mission, you delayed, incompetent and reckless, that’s your first crime.
When escorting the mission into the city, failed to disperse the crowd promptly, negligent, that’s your second crime.
During the crisis, you stood by and watched, suspected of collusion with Marquis Taikang, disloyal, that’s your third crime!
Bring him to the Jiufeng Department’s prison, examine thoroughly!"
