Chapter 1349: Chapter 539: Seizing the Order (Part 2)
After completing everything, three quarters of an hour had passed, and Xu Jin had quietly slipped into the Blood Vulture Headquarters.
As the Mingji Star Pattern unfolded, he sensed the aura of Blood Hawk Commander Zhong Ji instantly.
Since the target was present, once the time was right, Xu Jin would execute his plan.
With some time left, Xu Jin reviewed his plan again to check for any flaws.
*****
Great Chen National Daoist School, Pill Dawn Palace.
National Master Cheng Yuexiao looked at his Star-picking Order, frowning lightly.
Fifteen minutes ago, he had sent a starlight transmission to Tianyang Star Lord Zhuang Zhen. The message was formal, essentially stating that there was a matter crucial to the security of Dahong Empire, and he needed to discuss it, urging a quick reply.
Yet fifteen minutes had passed, and Tianyang Star Lord had not responded at all.
Normally, contacts between power holders at their level didn’t require urgent transmissions like these.
Because people at their level rarely contacted each other, any contact would necessarily involve important matters.
"Could Tianyang Star Lord be in seclusion, trying to break through?"
This was a possibility.
Doom-suppressing Star Lord had said he was close to a breakthrough but hadn’t succeeded yet, and perhaps Tianyang Star Lord was getting anxious as well.
But the problem was, this matter was extremely time-sensitive.
Dahong Emperor Yang Yun was not an ordinary figure.
He was likely paying attention to Xu Jin’s movements as well.
Both he and Dahong Emperor Yang Yun understood that any mishap involving Xu Jin would mark the beginning of a massive upheaval.
Although National Master Cheng Yuexiao still couldn’t fathom Dahong Emperor Yang Yun’s response methods, Yang Yun surely had preparations, and the later it got, the better prepared Yang Yun would be.
Therefore, he needed to notify Tianyang Star Lord immediately.
This matter, from an ethical standpoint, was about eliminating harm to mankind before a great war, clearing internal hazards first.
From Great Chen’s interest, if Dahong Emperor Yang Yun faced issues, whether Tianyang Star Lord liked it or not, Dahong Empire would inevitably undergo internal chaos for a while.
This would give Great Chen precious time to develop.
After thinking it over, National Master Cheng Yuexiao sent the same message to Tianyang Star Lord once more, marked as extremely urgent!
After sending it, he quietly waited.
At their level, contacting someone once was sufficient; contacting twice was already the limit.
Any more would be somewhat improper.
Unfortunately, contacting others would be futile; otherwise, Cheng Yuexiao would have considered contacting the Great Elder of Tianyang Star Hall.
After sending the urgent transmission, time ticked away slowly without any response...
...

Dahong Empire Imperial City, inside Changle City Imperial Palace, Dahong Emperor had already returned.
The precious treasures from some palace treasury, he had all stored inside his own Sumeru Space.
Although he had contingencies left, for a long time afterward, he feared he couldn’t acquire such a large amount of treasures again.
Wei Zhong entered the grand hall, bowing, "Your Majesty, the Second Prince has already arrived outside the hall, along with eleven other prominent ministers and generals who had long sided with Tianyang Star Hall, also gathering within Lanxiang Hall in the palace under various pretexts, awaiting your meeting.
Your Majesty, you can deploy them at any time."
"How’s the Star-picking Tower main building?" Dahong Emperor Yang Yun asked.
"Your Majesty, arrangements have been made. Just a signal, and death soldiers will take action. However the matter is investigated later, it will seem that while transporting Star Jade, a Fire Series Star Jade inadvertently exploded, causing a Star Burst and damage to the Star-picking Tower main building, halting operations in the Dahong Star Tower for about fifteen minutes," Wei Zhong said.
"Fifteen minutes is enough."
Dahong Emperor Yang Yun nodded, "Then deploy."
"This old servant receives the command."
Almost simultaneously with Wei Zhong issuing orders, the deployed death soldiers started moving according to sequence.
Outside Lanxiang Hall in Dahong Imperial Palace, inside a quiet room, a temporary star gate array plate was being rapidly activated by a death soldier using large quantities of Star Jade.
In an instant, a space star gate emitting a tremendous Star Power fluctuation appeared in the sky above Lanxiang Hall in the palace.
Almost the moment it appeared, dozens of brilliant starlights surged out from within the space star gate.
It was the aliens waiting there all along.
As soon as the star gate opened, they charged out.
In an instant, the entire Dahong Imperial Palace alarm sounded loudly, chaos erupted!
And the aliens who surged out immediately rushed toward the numerous Dahong high-ranking ministers inside Lanxiang Hall!
Inside, there was the third prince of the Dahong imperial family, Prince Yang Shao.

Inside the City Lord Mansion of Blood Moon City, Qi Shanye and Mo Ji reported the completion of refining the Thousand Star Token. Left Protector Fan Kai and Right Protector Lin Mingshi were somewhat pleasantly surprised.
"Half an hour, so fast? Show me what you’ve got," Fan Kai said.
In the next moment, a group of starlight appeared in the hands of Qi Shanye and Mo Ji, forming an octagonal three-dimensional shape. Within it, the two ancient characters "Thousand Stars" were flashing and rotating.
"It seems both of your Divine Soul Cultivation Levels have recently improved during this period. Your Clearing Soul Star Patterns at the Lingji Star Hall are indeed miraculous.
It’s a pity they cannot be taught, otherwise..."
Fan Kai was somewhat regretful. Regarding the identities of Qi Shanye and Mo Ji, they were aware, otherwise, they wouldn’t cultivate them so vigorously.
Both were fugitives abandoned by the current world and had a natural shared psychological front, so they trusted and expected them, especially after controlling the Divine Soul.
They had considered the Clearing Soul Star Pattern but were informed of its extremely strict Divine Soul Sealing and special teaching methods. They would not teach it.
This was normal, as the Blood Dripping Divine Patterns of the Blood God Sect cannot be taught without the Sect Hierarch’s permission.
Even if taught, it would be unlearnable.
Appropriate catalysts are needed.
"Now you two have obtained the Thousand Star Token, it’s the perfect time to be curious.
Go back and study the Thousand Star Token well, explore how to use it to greatly enhance your cultivation in a short time.
The stronger your combat power, the more useful you are to us.
Go quickly," Right Protector Lin Mingshi instructed.
Qi Shanye and Mo Ji paid their respects before leaving. Just after stepping out of the City Lord Mansion, they sent a message to Xu Jin and began preparing to assist Xu Jin in case of emergencies.
On the other side, in the Blood Vulture Headquarters, Xu Jin also received a message from his teacher, Qi Shanye.
[Teacher, you should return to the military camp and be prepared. Remember, do not respond to me without my notification! If I need help, I will ask you.] Xu Jin instructed.
[Rest assured.]
After sending the Starlight Transmission, Xu Jin took a deep breath as he prepared to act.
According to the latest message from his teacher, there were still six eighth-tier individuals inside the City Lord Mansion.
Among them, two were in the late eighth tier, three in mid-eighth tier, and one was mid-eighth tier. The number of seventh-tier individuals hadn’t decreased.
There were quite a few.
Especially the two in the late eighth tier, being the Left and Right Protectors, posed a huge threat to Xu Jin.
Therefore, Xu Jin’s first step in action today was to lure away the tigers from the mountain!
Next moment, Xu Jin quietly infiltrated the quiet room of Great Commander Zhong Ji in the Blood Vulture Headquarters Outer Court and knocked on the door.
"Great Commander, it’s me?"
"Who?" Great Commander Zhong Ji, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes, with starlight rising around him, already on alert.
Next moment, Xu Jin pushed the door and entered.
"Qi Jin?"
Seeing Xu Jin at that moment, Great Commander Zhong Ji’s face changed dramatically, "You’re not..."
Boom! Boom!
Two bursts of thunder roared in succession, almost a breath apart.
The first Five Elements Divine Thunder directly turned Blood Vulture Commander Zhong Ji into ashes.
With Xu Jin’s current cultivation, how could Zhong Ji defend even with all his might?
Moreover, all he did was raise his Body Protective Starlight.
The second Five Elements Divine Thunder followed with an instantaneous difference, just in time to turn Zhong Ji’s escaping Primordial Spirit into nihility.
The first thunder for taking orders, smash the commander first!
Almost at the same time, the roaring sound of the Five Elements Divine Thunder rolled across the sky of Blood Moon City.
At that moment, Blood Moon City was like a beast awakened by thunder, with various starlights inside and outside the city soaring instantly along with cries of anger, shouts, all merging into a single sound.
And the massive aura of the mid to late seventh-tier and eighth-tier individuals surged like rain at that moment.
Simultaneously, Xu Jin silently activated the Seven Killings Dragon Escape Pillar he had previously arranged.
A faint space fluctuation flashed, and Xu Jin appeared three hundred meters behind the City Lord Mansion.
Upon landing, he used invisibility to entirely conceal his aura.
As for the faint space fluctuations, they were covered by the massive aura of the seventh-tier and eighth-tier individuals ascending due to the thunder.
Meanwhile, inside the City Lord Mansion, the Left and Right Protectors, who were discussing the Lingji Star Hall secret technique, rushed to the sky above upon hearing the terrifying rolling thunder, their gaze already directed toward the terrifying Thunder Series Skill spreading zone.
