Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1261: Chapter 506: Sixth Tier, Ninth Layer

Great Chen Wan County, Star-picking Tower main building.

National Master Cheng Yuexiao didn’t relax his taut nerves until he saw Dong Zhao, Ying Ge, Ning Yuchan, and Xu Jin returning one by one through teleportation.

With a wave of his hand, he dismissed Elder Peng, Pei Ze, and the Patrol Star Guard Deputy Commander Han Lingdong.

"National Master, who are they?" Xu Jin’s expression shifted as he watched the four Eighth Tier individuals depart.

Han Lingdong, the Deputy Commander of the Great Chen Patrol Star Guard, hailing from the National Taoist Institute, was initially of a Seventh Tier Ninth Layer Peak cultivation level, considered a veteran of Great Chen, with fairly average combat power, typically the type to be overcome by Sixth Tier geniuses exceeding their Great Realm.

Previously, National Master Cheng Yuexiao granted him a Fifth-Order Divine Soul Spiritual Medicine to extend his life, with little expectation of results, merely prolonging his life.

Although he was over a hundred years old and his combat power was ordinary, he was still a Seventh Tier.

Unexpectedly, he recently broke through to the Eighth Tier in one go.

This was an unexpected joy for Great Chen, adding one more Eighth Tier combat power in the present world.

"I had already prepared for the worst.

If it really came to the worst, I planned to take them to charge into Da Hong’s capital Changle City to rescue you all," National Master Cheng Yuexiao said with a smile.

The words shocked Dong Zhao, Ning Yuchan, Xu Jin, and the others.

How alarming!

If it really came to that, and if they failed, wouldn’t Great Chen face destruction?

And wouldn’t they be the culprits responsible for the fall of Great Chen?

"National Master, this time, it was my recklessness that caused you worry." Xu Jin bowed.

"No worries!"

Cheng Yuexiao waved his hand, "I also failed to consider thoroughly, not realizing the significant impact of Yuchan’s defeat of Sun Fuga.

A single peerless genius wouldn’t be worth Tianyang Star Lord losing face over, after all, Sun Fuga had come to Great Chen and gone abroad multiple times before.

However, if there were two peerless geniuses, both about to fully mature, even not just Tianyang Star Lord, even I might have to set aside my old face and take decisive action."

Everyone was solemn.

An hour later, after handing over the diplomatic mission, Xu Jin returned to Pill Dawn Palace, saying with confusion, "National Master, were you really planning to charge into Da Hong’s Changle City then?"

Upon hearing this, National Master Cheng Yuexiao pointed at Xu Jin and laughed, "You rascal, did you think I was just putting on a show?"

"Not exactly, I just feel that such a risky move doesn’t quite align with your usual style, National Master."

"Risky?"

National Master Cheng Yuexiao shook his head, "If you consider it comprehensively, the risk isn’t that high at all."

"Firstly, something like leading all Eighth Tiers into another nation’s capital has never happened before, the element of surprise, this is the first advantage."

"Secondly, Da Hong is unaware of your capabilities. Your skills can restrain at least two Eighth Tiers, and with our cooperation, we might even kill two or three. That’s the second advantage."

"Thirdly, for Tianyang Star Lord to arrive, it would naturally take time. This time gap is the opportunity for victory, that’s the third advantage."

"Fourthly, Da Hong’s Emperor, upon seeing me, would surely value his life, and with us holding leverage, he wouldn’t go all-out initially. That’s the fourth advantage."

"Fifthly, since the world is unaware of the Seven Killings Star Domain, I just need to lead you five hundred miles outside Changle City to safely return. That’s the fifth advantage."

"With these five advantages, the success probability of charging into Changle City to rescue you is as high as seventy percent.

However, once this plan is implemented, the consequences are dire, potentially leading to Tianyang Star Lord’s retaliatory measures at any cost.

Thus, I’ve held off unless it’s absolutely necessary.

Of course, this also serves as the last means of ensuring your safety during your mission to Dahong," National Master Cheng Yuexiao said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jin rose again, solemnly saluting National Master Cheng Yuexiao, "Thank you for your concern!"

"What’s this!

You’re the one fighting for Great Chen.

Come, come, have some tea!"

During their casual conversation, Xu Jin recounted the results of his mission, including the agreement with Da Hong’s Emperor, thoroughly discussing it with National Master Cheng Yuexiao.

After hearing it, Cheng Yuexiao said, "It’s considered a success, which is a good thing.

There’s hope for rescuing your teacher Qi Shanye and Uncle Mo Ji as well.

Just as a great battle is about to start, it can also lead to their rescue.

However, there’s one thing you must be cautious about."

"Please, National Master, guide me," Xu Jin said.

"The leverage Da Hong’s Emperor left us is too significant!

So significant that it can’t be undone.

Therefore, Da Hong’s Emperor agreeing to your terms is definitely just a temporary measure.

During this time, he will surely try every possible way to remove this threat!

Moreover, the deadline for resolving this threat is the moment you complete your mission in Blood Moon City.

Otherwise, once you return with your mission complete,

the leverage will remain in our hands.

What will we do?

From a broader perspective, the decisive battle between the present world Human Clan and the Eight Desolate Alien Race is imminent, I won’t tolerate the Blood God’s Vice Sect Hierarch occupying the position of a nation’s emperor.

Otherwise, all our Human Clan’s strategies and tactics against the Eight Desolate Alien Race would be exposed to them."

"Indeed!"

"In the struggle between Dahong and Great Chen, if Da Hong’s Emperor as the Blood God Sect Vice Sect Hierarch is proven, Dahong would surely be turbulent.

Tianyang Star Lord’s face would be compromised, and his prestige would greatly decline.

This would be extremely advantageous for us, Great Chen.

But currently, there is no concrete evidence.

Even without concrete evidence, just informing Tianyang Star Lord of this matter would cause chaos within Dahong.

Do you understand?" Cheng Yuexiao asked.

"I understand," Xu Jin nodded.

"So, two things: first, don’t disclose the progress of your mission, even conceal it.
