Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1350: Chapter 540: Protector Slain

"Thunder series star skill? That place should be the Blood Vulture Headquarters?"

The ascending Left Protector Fan Kai and Right Protector Lin Mingshi exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other’s eyes.

What took them by surprise was the Thunder Series Star Skill.

In an instant, the two of them thought of many things.

Thunder series star skills are indeed quite special.

Amongst the Eight Desolate Alien Race, some cultivate Thunder Series Star Skills, but within the Blood God Sect, there are quite a few who practice thunder repair star skills, yet most are of the beginner level, and none can employ such powerful thunder series star skills.

At the same moment, several streams of light had already rushed towards the incident location, with one possessing an aura of late Eighth Tier, which should be Punishment Hall Elder Mu Geng.

"You command and I’ll take a look, Mu Geng alone might not be enough," said Right Protector Lin Mingshi.

"If that person has truly appeared, we’d better go together," Left Protector Fan Kai and Right Protector Lin Mingshi, though continuously wrestling for power and benefits internally, are unambiguous in major matters.

Both are aware that vying for benefits is one thing, but uniting against external threats is another.

If the Blood God Sect’s top forces are weakened, the sect itself will suffer the consequences.

"Okay."

"You must guard the City Lord Mansion well, without our orders, you cannot leave."

Left Protector Fan Kai instructed briefly, and alongside Right Protector Lin Mingshi, they transformed into two streams of light, swiftly rushing toward the scene.

Throughout the rapid charge, Left Protector Fan Kai took out an Eight Desolate Gold Token, continually issuing commands.

The Blood God Sect, upon investing in the Eight Desolate Royal Court, was granted several sets of these more convenient Eight Desolate Gold Tokens for communication.

Concealed in the shadows, Xu Jin didn’t even need to use his eyes to observe the departure of the protectors.

At such close proximity, a mere gaze can alert those with a strong cultivation level.

Upon sensing the departure of the two top late Eighth Tier figures through the Mingji Star Pattern, Xu Jin felt assured.

The first step of luring the tiger from the mountain was preliminarily achieved.

In the next moment, Xu Jin, concealed in invisibility, restrained his aura, and with a gentle press of his hand, flipped over the courtyard wall, landing silently, and swiftly approached the quiet room where the three Seventh Tier cultivators receiving the Thousand Star Token were located.

Though strong figures are stationed here, the City Lord Mansion’s defense is not weak either, with Sixth Tier sentinels present in various places.

But for Xu Jin at the moment, these Sixth Tier sentinels were of no consequence.

Under invisibility, Xu Jin passed by them at a ten-meter distance without any detection.

Even boldly passing by within five meters might not be discovered, though there would be a chance of detection then.

Better to be cautious.

Two breaths later, Xu Jin was already silently close to the quiet room where the three refining the Thousand Star Token of Seventh Tier were located.

Above the City Lord Mansion, those four of the Eighth Tier were treading upon stars, glancing across all directions, and continually probing with divine thoughts, serving both caution and intimidation.

"I have only one chance," Xu Jin said as he reached the predetermined location, readying himself for action.

Under the full force of the Mingji Star Pattern perceptions, Xu Jin discerned the situation both inside and outside the quiet room clearly.

Simultaneously, he sensed the condition of the Thousand Star Token he needed most.

The three Seventh Tier individuals focused entirely on refining the Thousand Star Token, which hovered before them.

In the next instant, Xu Jin silently activated the Warm Dream, causing the Sixth Tier guard beside Seventh Tier first layer Han Yuan to suddenly slump backward, leaning against the wall; his chest still moved, but he had fallen into sleep.

Due to a substantial gap in divine soul cultivation, Xu Jin pulled him directly into sleep.

At the same instant, Han Yuan, while refining the Thousand Star Token, was also drawn into slumber by Warm Dream, causing the token to fall to the ground with a light patter, unnoticed by anyone.

The Seventh Tier second layer Lin Mingshi in the quiet room, also absorbed in refining the Thousand Star Token, was put to sleep by Warm Dream as well, halting his refining process, and his token also fell to the floor.

Simultaneously, a Sixth Tier sentinel saw the guard slumbering at the entrance of Han Yuan’s room, his expression altered immediately.

But his first reaction was that his comrade had dozed off.

Sleep during guard duty is a serious dereliction.

With a light flick of a finger wind aimed at the slumbering guard’s leg, he intended to awaken his comrade on duty.

Helping each other is quite normal among colleagues.

Even with the finger wind hitting the leg, the slumbering guard did not awaken.

This abrupt realization altered the observing guard’s expression, yet he still didn’t assume the worst.

Xu Jin knew his time was limited.

Nearly simultaneously, Xu Jin quietly pushed open Han Yuan’s quiet room door and stepped inside.

Seeing his comrade asleep, the guard’s eyes widened abruptly.

No one was moving, but the quiet room’s door had opened, and with a comrade asleep, he immediately noticed something was wrong.

He called for a check, and soon rushed people to examine the situation.

Simultaneously, Xu Jin had just picked up the first Thousand Star Token.

At that moment, several guards came to investigate, already glimpsing the collapsed Han Yuan through the open door.

"Milord, the person in quiet cultivation is dead!"

Immediately, along with his shout of alarm, this guard also sent out an alert.

Above the City Lord Mansion, the divine thoughts and star force of the four Eighth Tier instantly enveloped the quiet room, and as they rushed toward it, the vast starlight had already begun to cover it.

Xu Jin had just stored this first Thousand Star Token into the Sumeru Space when he sensed the anomaly.

Almost simultaneously, a vast star force fluctuation erupted from Xu Jin’s center, with the Fish Curtain Golden Bell raised, the Heavenly Gang Thunder Chain sourced from Five Elements Divine Thunder, extending its claws and teeth swiftly, as Xu Jin accelerated instantly.
