Chapter 1284: Chapter 513: The Traitor and Seizing Military Power (Part 2)
Leaving the main hall of the Judicial Hall, Xu Jin quietly activated the Mingji Star Pattern while waiting outside the door, hoping to eavesdrop a bit.
But in the next instant, a starlight wave imbued with Divine Soul power rose and directly blocked Xu Jin’s senses from reaching in.
Leaving Xu Jin helpless.
The explanations went on for quite a while, a full fifteen minutes, before Zhong Ji came out of the Judicial Hall with a face full of spring breeze.
The previous worry on his face was completely gone.
It seemed that regarding the matter of killing the Purple Wing Royal Family member, the elders of the Judicial Hall had already given a promise or something similar.
"Let’s go, I’ve arranged a welcoming banquet for you, our colleagues are all waiting," Zhong Ji said.
Xu Jin knew that Blood Moon City had everything needed.
But when Zhong Ji took Xu Jin to the relatively high-end Qingfeng Building, especially seeing the aisle lined with hundreds of welcoming girls, he was still taken aback.
It seemed that there were still a lot of ordinary people and ordinary cultivators within the Blood God Sect.
For this welcome banquet, all the middle and high-level members of Blood Hawk were present.
There were three other deputy commanders like Xu Jin, but all three were at the Seventh Tier.
In addition, there were the captain and vice-captain of the Blood Hawk Team, most of whose cultivation levels were at the Sixth Tier Ninth Layer Peak or in the Late Period of the Sixth Tier.
Among the ten direct squads, Squad 1 to Squad 6 were under the command of the three deputy commanders, Squad 7 to Squad 10 were directly under the command of Great Commander Zhong Ji, each squad fully staffed with ten people, with cultivation levels ranging from the Fifth Tier to the Sixth Tier.
In theory, Xu Jin, as a deputy commander, should also have two direct squads.
But neither the great commander nor the deputy commanders would be willing to, or could, give up their power.
According to Zhong Ji, they could only organize a Blood Hawk Team for Deputy Commander Qi Jin first, made up of people who just arrived today, but it wasn’t fully staffed.
Only six people!
However, Zhong Ji also personally promised that later on, more people would continuously gather from various Star Domains, and as soon as suitable ones were found, they would be given to Xu Jin to fill his team.
To this, Xu Jin also agreed with a smile.
It didn’t matter!
He wasn’t planning to develop within the Blood God Sect long-term.
As the welcome banquet began, the atmosphere wasn’t very good at first.
Mainly because several deputy commanders maintained a certain hostility towards Xu Jin.
And the other leaders of the Blood Hawk Team looked at Xu Jin with some defiance.
Many of them were at the Sixth Tier Ninth Layer Peak, so why could Xu Jin, with the same cultivation level, become a deputy commander?
While they could only be captains?
The change started with drinking.
The first bowl of wine was offered to Xu Jin by Zhong Ji.
But just as the wine entered his mouth, the sourness and astringency made Xu Jin spit it out immediately.
One could say that the vinegar in the real world tasted better than the wine here.
Zhong Ji, who offered the wine, looked displeased on the spot.
Even with their previous life-and-death friendship, it was difficult to bear losing face in front of others.
"Great Commander, is this how the wine is here?" Xu Jin asked, astonished after spitting out the wine.
"This is considered rare fine wine!" said Deputy Commander Chen Ming, who was at the Fourth Layer of the Seventh Tier, dissatisfied.
"Great Commander, I truly didn’t know! If I had known, I would have brought it out earlier!"
As he spoke, Xu Jin waved his hand and three large jars of fine wine appeared, and as soon as the clay seals were cracked open, the aroma of the wine spread throughout the room.
"Come, Great Commander, try the fine wine I brought from the real world," Xu Jin first offered to Zhong Ji.
Zhong Ji took a sniff, sipped a bit, then drank it all in one go, finally exhaled a long breath of wine aroma, and sighed, "Good wine, this is real wine!" Then he showed a reminiscent expression, "The last time I had such good wine was a year ago when Blood Moon City was successfully built, and the two protectors gifted some fine wine, but only two bowls!"
The other deputy commanders all showed admiration, and many captains even had a look of craving.
It’s not their fault.
It’s true that goods can be transported from the real world, but only crucial supplies are brought.
Things like wine and gourmet food would hardly occupy the precious transport resources and are all produced in various Star Domains.
Of course, the Blood God Sect had also brought in a few winemakers, but the production was limited, and the quality was also limited.
The genuine wine, even the high-level couldn’t get enough of it.
Let alone them.
In the next instant, Xu Jin served Zhong Ji and everyone present with full cups, and amidst the room full of wine aroma, Deputy Commander He Fei just smiled bitterly, "After having such good wine, how can I ever swallow the wine here again!"
In an instant, it triggered everyone’s homesickness!
After struggling in the Blood God Sect for so many years, although they’ve gained glory and rank, they haven’t truly enjoyed it.
Supplies are still quite scarce!
Especially those that match the tastes of the real-world Human Clan!
"Don’t worry, I especially brought wine for each of you as a gift!
Everyone has some!
Everyone has some!"
"Great Commander, when I came, I specifically brought fine wine to pay my respects to you!" With a wave of his hand, twenty jars of fine wine appeared in front of everyone.
"Great Commander, these are all for you!"
"So many?" Zhong Ji was astonished by Xu Jin. The left and right protectors of the Blood God Sect wouldn’t use as much real-world fine wine for a banquet as this.
Each jar is thirty catties of fine wine, and with twenty jars, the Sumeru Space must be nearly filled, right?
That’s the truly valuable part.
"In paying respect to you, brother, I’ll never think it’s enough," Xu Jin smiled and said.
"Hahaha, since it’s a gift from a brother, I’ll gladly accept it." With a wave, the twenty large jars disappeared, and Zhong Ji’s Sumeru Space was nearly filled, which made him indescribably happy!
"Brothers, I have one more jar here, when you leave later, everyone take a little, I’m sorry the quantity I brought is limited!" Xu Jin took out another jar.
