Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1298: Chapter 519: Heaven-Sent Opportunity

"Special Envoy Mansion!"

"It turns out that a serious incident happened to the special envoy of the Special Envoy Mansion.

This is going to be quite the spectacle to watch!"

Blood Shadow is also in the intelligence business, with connections throughout Blood Moon City. In less than five breaths, Great Commander Zhong Ji gathered first-hand information, but he appeared with a look of lingering fear!

"Fortunately, fortunately, our Blood Shadow is not responsible for internal security. Now the Blood Moon Army in charge of city defense is in trouble!

And the Blood God Guards responsible for internal security, they are in big trouble too!" Zhong Ji appeared behind Xu Jin with a schadenfreude expression.

But his joy lasted less than ten breaths before Zhong Ji showed an astonished expression as he received an urgent summon to meet him.

After a brief explanation, he anxiously flew towards the City Lord Mansion in Blood Moon City.

The City Lord is temporarily replaced by the Left Protector!

Almost at the same time, within Blood Moon City, beams of light crisscrossed.

Immediately, a curfew was enforced in Blood Moon City, and suspicious individuals were being searched.

minutes later, upon returning to the City Lord Mansion, Great Commander Zhong Ji, who had been scolded harshly by the Left Protector, immediately led all of Blood Shadow to search for suspicious individuals based on limited clues!

An expert at Controlling Objects, using swords, and proficient in Fire Element Star Skill, a Seventh Tier expert!

This was the only information provided by the upper echelons of the Blood God Sect to Blood Shadow.

Also, it was the only information that could be discerned from the traces left at the scene!

In the middle of the night, nearly a hundred elite members of Blood Shadow searched aimlessly and chaotically throughout Blood Moon City like headless flies.

Xu Jin felt an indescribable sense of absurdity in his heart.

Perhaps this was the real thief crying "Stop thief!"

He, the culprit, was mingling with the team searching for the culprit, how could they catch the culprit?

Shortly after the continued search, Deputy Commander Chen Ming even impatiently complained, "An expert at Controlling Objects, using swords, proficient in Fire Element, Seventh Tier expert, just with these characteristics, how do we find them?

The culprit isn’t dumb!

Would they be stupid enough to run around with a sword?

There are quite a few Seventh Tier Fire Element experts, we can’t just arrest them all and chop them up, right?"

"Shut up!"

Zhong Ji sternly rebuked, but Deputy Commander Chen Ming seemed a bit unaware, "Great Commander, what I said is the truth! If you really want to find..."

Zhong Ji suddenly rushed to Deputy Commander Chen Ming, slapped him hard! "If you want to die, keep talking, but don’t drag me down!"

With one slap, Chen Ming was snapped out of it, decisively closing his mouth!

At this point, Zhong Ji reminded everyone, "The special envoy is dead, the special envoy of the King of Eight Desolates is dead!

Do you understand the gravity of the matter?

This is equivalent to a military inspector or a minister appointed by the current emperor dying mysteriously!

What do you think the emperor would think?

What do you think they would do?"

Through Zhong Ji’s analysis, the members of Blood Shadow immediately understood the seriousness of the matter!

No wonder there needs to be a comprehensive city search!

Blood God Guards, Blood Moon Army, Iron Blood Army, all together a hundred thousand people, are conducting checks and searches, because of this reason!

Needless to say, Zhong Ji being able to become the Great Commander of Blood Shadow shows he has excellent political insight!

Just as he analyzed, with the special envoy dead, the trouble for the Blood God Sect has just begun!

During the time of impending war, the monitoring officer dispatched to your Blood God Sect territory died mysteriously!

If King of Eight Desolates Ju Zhang had no thoughts about this, he wouldn’t be a true king.

Therefore, the Blood God Sect mobilized all the elite troops from the surroundings of Blood Moon City to search for a nearly traceless culprit. Actually, the purpose is not to catch the culprit.

The main purpose is to show King of Eight Desolates Ju Zhang!

As for catching the culprit?

The culprit is in the search sequence for the culprit, if they catch him it’s a miracle!

After a whole night of fussing, the Blood Shadow finally received the order to pull back.

Moreover, the curfew on Blood Moon City was not lifted.

The Blood God Guards, the elite forces of Blood God Sect, continued to search.

According to Great Commander Zhong Ji, the Eighth Tier experts in Blood Moon City are still searching in secret.

After all, to be able to kill a Seventh Tier Sixth Layer special envoy instantly and escape quickly, that kind of combat power is absolutely superior.

If not a top-notch Seventh Tier Ninth Layer expert, then an Eighth Tier expert!

So the grand search is on the surface, the real search for the culprit is conducted by those sporadic Eighth Tier experts!

It’s just that even these Eighth Tier experts wouldn’t think that the culprit is mingled among the trusted Blood Shadow members.

Of course, it’s not to say Blood Shadow is the most trusted.

It’s that their abilities, they don’t see as significant.

Regarding the strongest among Blood Shadow, Great Commander Zhong Ji, even if Ju Bo, the special envoy of Eight Desolates, were to use just one hand, he wouldn’t be a match.

The same goes for a sneak attack!

This judgment is not just based on knowing Zhong Ji’s combat weakness, but also on Ju Bo’s combat strength!

In the Eight Desolates Continent, as part of the royal family among aliens, any Golden Pillar alien pulled out has combat power far stronger than an alien or ordinary Human Clan of equivalent cultivation level!

This is unquestionable!

Therefore, no one suspects Blood Shadow.

Under such circumstances, Xu Jin, having returned after completing his mission, went back to his courtyard, activated the warning array, and immersed his mind in the Sumeru Space, starting to count his spoils blissfully!

Who knows what kind of surprises the special envoy of the King of Eight Desolates might bring him?

His Divine Thought scanned the loot drawn from Special Envoy Ju Bo’s Sumeru Space, leaving Xu Jin astounded.

This Special Envoy Ju Bo is simply overflowing with riches.

The assets are thicker than when Xu Jin killed Eighth Tier Ju Xuan previously.

And it’s not just a little thicker!

There are over thirty thousand pieces of Fifth Order Star Jade, which is the most common item.

There are three thousand pieces of Sixth Order Star Jade.

Even Xu Jin, who had been extremely frugal with his collection, only used Seventh Rank Star Jade Tablets for cultivation, and Ju Bo actually had one hundred and seven pieces.

It should be noted that Xu Jin, after sweeping through two Sixth Tier Star Domains and killing many Seventh Tier enemies in the Seven Killings Secret Realm, managed to accumulate just over a hundred and twenty Seventh Rank Star Jade Tablets.

Yet, in Ju Bo’s Sumeru Space, there were so many!

Just these Seventh Rank Star Jade Tablets were worth it!

With these Seventh Rank Star Jade Tablets alone, Xu Jin could forge two to three layers of the Octagonal Cloud Tower.

Of course, compared to the Purification Pearls, the speed would be slower.

Soon, Xu Jin found the Purification Pearls.

The Special Envoy’s status was indeed extraordinary; not a single Fifth-Order Purification Pearl was seen; all were Sixth-Order Purification Pearls.

There were as many as seventy-four Sixth-Order Purification Pearls!

This was equivalent to seven Seventh-Order Purification Pearls, sufficient for Xu Jin to forge another two layers of the Octagonal Cloud Tower.

The number of Seventh-Order Purification Pearls was not many, but it still exceeded Xu Jin’s expectations.

Eight pieces!

There were eight Seventh-Order Purification Pearls!

This haul was indeed significant!

Just these gains were enough to save Xu Jin several months of hard work.

In addition, the largest quantities were nearly a thousand Sixth Tier Star Cores and over a hundred Seventh Tier Star Cores.

These should have been collected by Ju Bo himself.

He discovered two Eight Desolate Gold Tokens.

And nine Eight Desolates Silver Orders.

Xu Jin knew that these were one of the communication tools of the Eight Desolations Continent, bestowed by the Eight Desolations Royal City.

Since Ju Bo’s Divine Soul had already perished, Xu Jin’s Divine Thought easily sifted through these Eight Desolate Gold Tokens and Eight Desolate Silver Orders.

In the aura perception, except for one piece, all of the Eight Desolates Silver Orders pointed to the Eight Desolate Gold Token numbered 138 in his hand.

After a bit of thought, Xu Jin roughly understood that the special Eight Desolates Silver Order should be the means of communication between Special Envoy Ju Bo and his superiors, possibly even the King of Eight Desolations, Ju Zhang.

Meanwhile, Xu Jin could sense that ten Eight Desolates Silver Orders were linked to the Eight Desolate Gold Token numbered 137.

As long as Xu Jin willed it, he could send messages to these ten Eight Desolates Silver Orders!

In the next moment, prompted by a feeling, Xu Jin suddenly took out the Eight Desolates Silver Order he had obtained yesterday from General Jin Dafeng.

Checking the number, Xu Jin, guided by intuition, accurately sent a message to this Eight Desolates Silver Order using the Eight Desolate Gold Token.

On the Eight Desolates Silver Order numbered 1377 in Jin Dahuang’s hand, starlight flashed instantly.

A message had arrived.

Though Xu Jin could not see it since it was not refined by him, he was sure that the message came from that Eight Desolate Gold Token.

Xu Jin’s Divine Thought once again sank into the two Eight Desolate Gold Tokens for sensing, and there were a total of twelve Eight Desolates Silver Orders outside.

It means that during this period, Special Envoy Ju Bo had already developed twelve insiders within the Blood God Sect!

Besides Jin Dafeng, there were eleven other apostate Blood God Sect followers!

After some thought, Xu Jin marked and stored these Eight Desolate Gold and Silver Tokens.

These things, at critical moments, might have magical effects!

In the next moment, Xu Jin instructed the beautiful maid monitoring him that he was going to cultivate and should not be disturbed, then took out a Seventh-Order Purification Pearl, and began refining and absorbing the abundant Star Power within to continue forging the eleventh layer of the Octagonal Cloud Tower!

*****

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion of Blood Moon City, Left Protector Fan Kai wore a grim expression, allowing Right Protector Lin Mingshi, who had just rushed over, to reprimand him!

The Hall Masters of the six departments of punishment, military, household, works, officials, and divine, under the Blood God Sect, along with the Military Lords of the Blood God Guards, Blood Moon Army, and Iron Blood Army, a total of more than ten eighth-tier figures, all gathered together and looked increasingly unsettled under Right Protector Lin Mingshi’s scolding!

Everyone knew that the assassination of the Eight Desolations Special Envoy Ju Bo by a mysterious person was a complete political disaster for the Blood God Sect dwelling in the Eight Desolations Continent!

"This matter is significant; only the Sect Hierarch can make a decision on it!" After a long time, when Right Protector Lin Mingshi finished chastising them, Punishment Hall Mr. Mu finally spoke and suggested.

There was no other way; after all, this catastrophe happened under the Left Protector’s jurisdiction!

"Indeed, we must notify the Sect Hierarch!"

Very quickly, the upper echelons of the Blood God Sect used special methods to contact the Sect Hierarch.

[What major event has happened? You disturb me at such a crucial time?] The voice of the Sect Hierarch of the Blood God Sect was rather old and quite displeased!

However, after Left Protector reported everything thoroughly, even though the Sect Hierarch was experienced and calm, he couldn’t help but snort coldly, [What are you all doing? A Seventh Tier expert assassinated in Blood Moon City without leaving any trace, there must be an internal traitor!

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so flawless!

Investigate thoroughly!]

[Besides, Left Protector must report this matter to Ju Zhang immediately; by now he probably already knows, but is just waiting for your report and stance. If you don’t report soon, that guy might explode!]

The protectors and elders of the Blood God Sect naturally received the command dutifully.

At that moment, led by Left Protector Fan Kai, they directly contacted the King of Eight Desolations, Ju Zhang, to report the incident and the matter of searching the entire city for the murderer.

The envoy being dispatched was naturally subject to Ju Zhang’s fury.

But it was just a fury!

Even after Left Protector Fan Kai’s verbal self-criticism, not much else was said!

This left the high-level officials of the Blood God Sect somewhat uneasy, but there was nothing more they could do.

*****

In the Holy Hall of the Ancestral City of the Eight Desolations Continent, King of Eight Desolations Ju Zhang sat high on his throne with the eighth-tier members of the Golden Pillar Clan and the alien eighth-tier experts standing on either side of him.

Those qualified to appear here were over twenty eighth-tier experts!

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?" Ju Zhang asked aloud.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ju Song, the elder of the Golden Pillar Alien Clan, spoke up, "My king, although the Blood God Sect’s report was timely and on the surface, there are no issues!

However, the envoy’s assassination is a fact.

An opportunity given by heaven!"

"An opportunity given by heaven, royal uncle, please elaborate?" Ju Zhang looked at his clan uncle Ju Song.

"The king had a plan to quickly control or weaken the Blood God Sect, but lacked the opportunity to implement it!

I believe this is the heavenly given opportunity to implement that plan!

As long as the king gives the order, at this juncture, the Blood God Sect would not dare to say a word!"
