Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1282: Chapter 512: The Sect Hierarch’s Advent and Entrusting of a Crucial Task (3)

"Big brother, I promise you wealth and honor." Zhong Ji said, patting his chest.

"That’s essential!

In the future, if you point east, I definitely won’t go west!" Xu Jin also promised.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Ji nodded with satisfaction, "Brother, as you see, the Sect Hierarch hasn’t been around these years, our Divine Sect has developed rapidly and split into several factions, the one above us is one major faction!

Not to mention the two protectors, their power is even greater.

In this situation, if the Sect Hierarch returns with just an Eighth-Tier cultivation level, I’m afraid our Divine Sect will instantly fall apart!

Only a Ninth-Tier Sect Hierarch can control various forces and consolidate power!"

"Big brother is insightful!"

"Ah, it’s a turbulent time, truly a turbulent time!" Zhong Ji lamented, "So, once we survive a month after killing the Purple Wing Royal Family, the Sect Hierarch’s arrival will resolve everything."

"Indeed!"

Xu Jin nodded and added another crucial piece of information to report to State Preceptor Cheng Yuexiao: The Blood God Sect’s Hierarch is about to arrive, and it’s highly likely they have broken through to the Ninth Tier.

"Brother, cultivate well! With the combat power you just showed, once you break through the Seventh Tier, even Seventh-Tier Peak opponents might not be able to challenge you. By then, our Blood Xiaos will be more assured." Zhong Ji said.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jin instantly understood why Zhong Ji valued him so much, with secrecy and camaraderie. It wasn’t just past battlefield camaraderie, but also value!

Xu Jin’s previously demonstrated combat power was strong enough to make Zhong Ji want to win him over.

Now, Xu Jin only had one doubt in his mind.

What exactly did Emperor Dahong tell Zhong Ji about Xu Jin!

*****

Half a day later, when a large city with distinct human features came into view, Zhong Ji and the surviving Blood Xiaos felt completely at ease.

Blood Moon City was reached!

Once you arrive at Blood Moon City, you’re completely safe!

Even if the Purple Wing Royal Family really pursued them, being in Blood Moon City would still offer some maneuverability.

A patrol team came over, about to inquire about identity, only for Zhong Ji to directly throw a token at them, sending them off with curses!

"No insight at all!" Zhong Ji cursed upon entering the city.

It seems the Blood Xiaos have quite a presence in Blood Moon City.

"Come on, brother, Elder Mu specifically asked for me to bring you to meet him personally!" Zhong Ji said.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jin felt a chill in his heart.

Surely, Elder Mu from the Judicial Hall knows his true identity.

Elder Mu from the Judicial Hall is Emperor Dahong’s true confidant.

Fifteen minutes later, Zhong Ji led Xu Jin to the deepest part of the Judicial Hall in Blood Moon City.

The Judicial Hall looked solemn, with black and blood red as its main colors. The moment they entered, a sense of awe arose.

And in the grand hall of the deepest part, the tall and thin Elder Mu stood with his back to them, hands behind his back. After Zhong Ji introduced Xu Jin, this tall and thin Elder Mu turned to look at Xu Jin and said, "Are you Qi Jin?"

"Subordinate greets Elder Mu!"

"According to the Vice Sect Hierarch, you are skilled at reconnaissance and forensic investigations?" Elder Mu said.

This was the identity Emperor Dahong had set for Xu Ding.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jin nodded carefully and said, "The Vice Sect Hierarch overestimates me. It’s merely an experience I’ve had!"

"Having experience is good!

Just the right time, our Judicial Hall has a crucial pending case, I wouldn’t trust anyone else with it!

But I trust the Blood Xiaos with it!"

Saying this, Elder Mu handed a dossier to Xu Jin!

Xu Jin was taken aback.

What kind of divine unfolding is this?

This Elder Mu should know his identity as a fraudster?

Why does he appear so eager to entrust him with a significant responsibility right away?
