Chapter 1348: Chapter 539: Seizing the Token
[Jin’er, up to now, there are still six eighth-tier experts remaining in the City Lord Mansion. Judging by their aura, both the left and right protectors should be there as well. Besides, I also sensed twelve at the mid to late seventh tier, ten at the early seventh tier, and forty at the sixth tier.
The ones guarding our quiet room are all at the sixth tier.]
Xu Jin returned to his residence in Blood Moon City with the information he obtained from Shi Lie’s interrogation.
Though the man had no family, he indeed knew how to enjoy life.
Besides the serving servants, there were six concubines.
At this moment, as Xu Jin transformed and returned, these beautiful women immediately surrounded him.
"Get aside!"
Xu Jin’s face darkened, exuding an intimidating aura.
The concubines who had approached him quickly retreated to the side in fright, kneeling on the ground. Even the servants and the steward were so scared that they hardly dared to breathe.
Because of the blood poison, Shi Lie was erratic in his temper, making the servants very fearful.
Xu Jin acting like this didn’t seem out of place.
"I will be in seclusion for three days. Do not disturb me for any reason," Xu Jin sternly ordered, and with the guidance of Mingji Star Pattern, he directly pushed open the door to the cultivation quiet room and activated the guard array to prevent disturbances.
Only then did Shi Lie’s concubines breathe a sigh of relief and disperse.
Inside the quiet room, Xu Jin sent a message to his teacher Qi Shanye, saying to continue observing, and then took a deep breath to calm his mind and review the current situation again.
Maintaining a calm presence in the face of major events is what Xu Jin now expects of himself.
He also asked himself a few questions: Are there other channels to obtain the Thousand Star Token?
How to ensure safety?
Survival is the top priority.
As he answered these questions for himself, a concrete plan emerged in Xu Jin’s mind.
Subsequently, Xu Jin immediately contacted State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao.
[State Preceptor, I have exited the Limit Breaking Secret Realm and escaped via false death. You can proceed with plans against Emperor Dahong if you are ready.]
[That’s great! How is your current state? Is it safe? Do you need help?] Excited, State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao immediately inquired about Xu Jin’s condition.
[I am currently fine, but I estimate the new identity won’t last long before it is exposed. However, before that happens, I want to do something significant.] Xu Jin said.
[Something significant? Alright, do what you need to do; I trust you. But if you have time, quickly brief me on the plan so I can help you check for any omissions.]
[Okay.]
Xu Jin conveyed his preliminary plan to State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao as concisely as possible. After a quick glance, Cheng Yuxiao raised a question.
[You want to forcefully seize the Thousand Star Token and have chosen the strongest five targets, yet you haven’t targeted Qi Shanye or Mo Ji. If you plan to leave with Qi Shanye and the others, this is fine.
But if you don’t intend to take them along, this approach might raise suspicions in the short term, and anyone who investigates closely could become suspicious of them.]
Xu Jin was taken aback as he hadn’t realized this point.
His previous plan emphasized his own actions while those regarding his teacher and uncle were quite brief.
[There are two solutions: first, stage a fight with Qi Shanye and Mo Ji when the time comes, injuring them severely to earn deeper trust, but this also has its risks.
The second solution, as you previously mentioned, involves refining the Thousand Star Token, which seems to have a speed variation. You could ask them to refine it with full force and leave early.] State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao suggested.
[I understand now, thank you, State Preceptor.]
Xu Jin learned something new or rather, grew a bit more in this aspect.
[Teacher, how long will it take you and Uncle to fully refine the Thousand Star Token at full speed?] Xu Jin promptly contacted Qi Shanye.
[With our strong Divine Soul cultivation and recent notable advancements, I tried just now; if we don’t conserve, it’ll take three-quarters of an hour, and conserving a little, at most an hour.]
[Compared to Lian Xiang?]
[Lian Xiang’s Divine Soul cultivation is at the fourth tier ninth layer peak, only forming a Primordial Spirit Embryo, so his speed is certainly much slower than ours, likely about an hour. As for those three at the early seventh tier, they are even slower; two of them haven’t even formed a Primordial Spirit Embryo.]
[Teacher, then you both refine with full speed and leave the City Lord Mansion in an hour. I’ll act after you have left.]
[Very well, we will leave early and make some preparations to support you, just in case.]
Xu Jin agreed to their kindness, though it might not be needed.
Then, Xu Jin began preparing for the upcoming action.
First, he needed to set up escape routes and battle nodes.
The Seven Killings Dragon Escape Pillars had to be fully prepared.
His Seven Killings Dragon Escape Pillars could be set up as far as a hundred miles away, with a maximum of five Dragon Escape Stakes.
Continuously, Xu Jin moved throughout every direction of Blood Moon City.
He set up a Dragon Escape Stake outside the city in three directions.
Then, Xu Jin infiltrated the Blood Moon Army’s military camp and set up a Dragon Escape Stake there, which was for blending in at a critical moment.
As long as Xu Jin concealed himself in the camp, hiding his aura, even the left and right protectors would need to sweep over inch by inch with Divine Thought to possibly find him.
Xu Jin stealthily placed the last Dragon Escape Stake outside the backyard wall of the City Lord Mansion, only less than three hundred meters from the quiet room where Qi Shanye and others were cultivating.
