Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1246: Chapter 498: A Fight to the Death (Part 2)

Done!

Although the Dahong Emperor didn’t admit it, his actions were quite honest.

This already counts as allowing Xu Jin to set conditions.

"Emperor, I want to make a trip to Blood Moon City. I want you to arrange an appropriate identity for me, one where I can act freely, without having my Divine Soul controlled by the upper echelons over there." Xu Jin said.

This time, the Dahong Emperor didn’t say anything; instead, he looked at Xu Jin, his expression extremely complex.

After a long time, he finally said, "It seems that you understand the Blood God Sect quite well."

"Not as well as Your Majesty."

The Dahong Emperor was speechless.

"Can’t be done." The Dahong Emperor refused outright.

"It seems today is my only chance to die here." Xu Jin chuckled, although he was smiling, his expression was incredibly determined.

The Dahong Emperor stared at Xu Jin, also making a final probe, and communicating with Mr. Wei outside the door.

To see if there was a solution.

After discussing for a long time, the result was—no solution!

Xu Jin is easy to handle.

The person is already on their territory.

But Cheng Yuxiao, cannot be dealt with.

This is a deadlock.

The combat power of Dachen’s National Master Cheng Yuxiao, last time they witnessed it, turned out to be much stronger than they imagined.

Even if Cheng Yuxiao is in Dachen, they cannot deal with him.

Then, the potential solution involves one person, Tianyang Star Lord.

But the problem is, they do not have the ability to deal with Tianyang Star Lord either.

If these issues cannot be resolved, then they will be resolved by Tianyang Star Lord.

This is in a situation of a head-on clash.

With no chance of winning head-on, they can only compromise.

Although the Dahong Emperor extremely dislikes compromising, he has done it countless times over the years.

"The Eight Desolate Continent has just connected with the Galaxy Battlefield, and the Star Domain Force Field is highly volatile. I cannot send you over until the Star Domain Force Field stabilizes." The Dahong Emperor finally conceded.

"I can wait." Xu Jin said.

"But I need to know what you’re going for! My involvement with them is merely some business dealings, similar to trade caravans." The Dahong Emperor was still trying to cover up, unwilling to leave a loose end.

"There’s a secret matter I need to investigate."

"What matter?" The Dahong Emperor pressed him.

"Your Majesty, would I dare tell you?"

Xu Jin replied directly, "Your Majesty, but there’s one thing you can be sure of. With my level of cultivation, going over there’s like dancing on the tip of a knife. It’s just to investigate something secret that is very important to me, and it won’t endanger the Blood God Sect’s security.

Once I get there, it definitely won’t endanger your safety." Xu Jin said.

"Empty promises!

I can’t trust your guarantee." The Dahong Emperor said.

"Your Majesty, when I go over there, you’ll know my real identity. Honestly, my life is in your hands.

Otherwise, you just need to send a message.

On the Eight Desolate Continent, I’d be an enemy of the world, and would instantly have no place to be buried.

My going over there is the greatest assurance to Your Majesty." Xu Jin said.

The Dahong Emperor sank into silence again, presumably discussing with Wei Zhong, the Grand Steward.

After a while, he reluctantly nodded.

"When do you want to go, how many people?

How long will you stay?

Do you have specific identity requirements?" The Dahong True Monarch asked.

"The sooner the better.

Just me alone!

As for identity, Emperor, you can arrange it as you see fit.

The rank can’t be too low, it has to be quite high, otherwise, there will be no freedom. Preferably equal to the elders of Blood God Sect." Xu Jin said.

"Equal to the elders of Blood God Sect?"

The Dahong Emperor sneered, "How about you arrange it yourself, I don’t have the ability."

"Half a level lower is also fine!

But it must be independent and allow freedom of action." Xu Jin said.

"Can’t be done!" The Dahong Emperor retorted coldly.

"Then it’s Your Majesty’s concern!

Otherwise, even if I go, it’s akin to sending myself to death!

Might as well break the net now!" Xu Jin said.

In an instant, Xu Jin’s words rendered the Dahong Emperor into silence.

In his lifetime, he had only been threatened by the Tianyang Star Lord.

Now, there is another person!

After a long silence, the Emperor of Dahong finally calmed his emotions.

"Complete freedom is impossible, but a certain degree of freedom is achievable." The Emperor of Dahong said.

"I agree."

This time, Xu Jin agreed readily.

Even if you hold leverage over the other party, you cannot threaten too excessively.

"Then wait for the news! Once the Star Domain Force Field between the Eight Wilderness Continent and the Galaxy Battlefield stabilizes, I will inform you. It shouldn’t take more than a month." As he spoke, the Emperor of Dahong directly threw a Mandarin Duck Seal to Xu Jin, "Use this to contact me in the future.

Also, inform your State Preceptor.

The matter of capturing Wind Country’s Shadow will have some impact on me.

But you, Xu Jin, are inevitably going to die."

"Rest assured, Emperor. My life is quite precious indeed.

To be honest, unless something unexpected happens, I am the future successor of the State Preceptor of Dachen." Xu Jin willingly revealed his identity, giving the Emperor of Dahong a reassuring assurance.

If Xu Jin was a simple figure, a pawn that could be sacrificed at any moment, what leverage would there be to threaten Cheng Yuxiao?

If things work out, Cheng Yuxiao could sacrifice Xu Jin at any time, causing unrest within Dahong to achieve strategic objectives.

"Is this true?"

Indeed, the Emperor of Dahong was delighted.

His greatest previous concern was that Xu Jin’s weight was too light.

Compared to him, it was the difference between an egg and a gemstone.

Even if ten thousand eggs were shattered, they wouldn’t compare to the value of a single jewel.

"Your Majesty, your Jiufeng Department should have my information, right?

The youngest Vice Academician in the history of Dachen.

The youngest Fifth Tier expert in the history of Dachen.

The youngest Sixth Tier expert in the history of Dachen.

In the future, I will also be the youngest Seventh Tier expert in the history of Dachen.

This treatment, and my combat power.

Don’t these all explain everything?

Look, top-grade Seven-Star Spiritual Treasure armor, how many Sixth Tiers have it?

Even among Seventh Tier experts, only a few possess Seven-Star Spiritual Treasure armor, right?" Xu Jin shook his shoulder, revealing the top-grade Seven-Star Spiritual Treasure armor, and at the same moment, the Seven-Star Spiritual Treasure sword and Seven-Star Spiritual Treasure shield emerged among the starlight, fleeting.

"But I have a complete set here."

This demonstration directly made the Emperor of Dahong’s eyes widen.

A complete set of Seven-Star Spiritual Treasures, not to mention Seventh Tier, ordinary Eighth Tier hardly have it.

Yet this Xu Jin, a Sixth Tier, has a complete set of Seven-Star Spiritual Treasures.

In an instant, the Emperor of Dahong believed it.

If it weren’t for Cheng Yuxiao’s extreme importance on Xu Jin’s safety, he wouldn’t have equipped Xu Jin with a complete set of Seven-Star Spiritual Treasures.

Immediately, half of the Emperor of Dahong’s worries dissipated, at least the chip in his hand was still of considerable value.

Before Xu Jin returns from the Eight Wilderness Continent, he is safe.

"Wei Zhong, escort him back."

As he spoke, the Emperor of Dahong vanished from the dungeon.

And Xu Jin was escorted by Mr. Wei Zhong, witnessed by many eunuchs and guards, out of the dungeon and sent out of the Imperial Palace.

Shortly after Xu Jin left the Imperial Palace, the Grand Steward of Dahong Inner Court Wei Zhong promptly returned to Jingxin Hall, where the Emperor of Dahong was in seclusion.

Emperor and minister faced each other, speechless for a long time.

"Your Majesty, it seems we need to execute that plan."

"Alas!"

The Emperor of Dahong sighed heavily, "I never expected the exposure of Luomei Manor to have such a significant impact.

If I had known the impact would be so enormous, I wouldn’t have gone in the first place.

Lost means lost.

It’s just one Sixth Tier Star Domain, isn’t it?"

"Your Majesty, regret is futile.

If Your Majesty is to execute that plan, there’s so much preparation and work to be done!

The time left for us is not much.

Only Xu Jin going to Blood Moon City can buy us some time; otherwise, I’m afraid..." As he spoke, Wei Zhong’s face already reflected fear.

In the next moment, the Emperor of Dahong’s face already showed determination, "Then let’s begin the execution! I thought I’d never use that plan in my lifetime, but unexpectedly, it’s coming to use after all."

At this point, the Emperor of Dahong’s expression turned exceedingly vicious, "This Xu Jin, ruining my major plans!

Forcing me to execute that plan.

If ever given the chance, I will ensure he dies with no place to be buried!

Capture his Divine Soul, refine it into a Blood Puppet, burn it day and night, only then can I vent the hatred in my heart!"
