Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1410: Chapter 565: Ninth Tier Suppression

The King of Eight Desolations, Ju Zhang, arrived at Silver Horn City one two-hour interval after the incident occurred.

Upon receiving the urgent report, he was discussing the specifics of establishing White Tiger Star City for Baidou Divine Sect on the Eight Desolate Continent with Blood God Sect Hierarch Yu Shen and Baidou Divine Sect’s Hierarch Ji Qu.

Ju Zhang calmly issued a few orders, instructing Baidou Divine Sect Hierarch Ji Qu to finalize all matters, and personally witnessed the complete integration of White Tiger Star City, demarcated using this Eighth Tier Star Domain foundation, before making his way back.

He understood that, given the distance, an earlier arrival would only result in seeing the aftermath a little sooner, serving no practical purpose.

In contrast, seizing this chance to observe and assess part of Baidou Divine Sect’s true capabilities was far more crucial.

Baidou Divine Sect’s power or underlying strength was somewhat greater than he had imagined.

Among those he saw, there were eight Eighth Tier members from the Human Clan and more than ten Eighth Tier members from the Eight Desolate Clan.

And that was just what he had seen.

During the journey to Silver Horn City, Ju Zhang felt immense pressure.

Upon witnessing the chaos overwhelming Silver Horn City, the golden light atop the golden horn uncontrollably trembled, yet after the anger dissipated, an indescribable sense of helplessness replaced it.

The perpetrator was already clear.

It was the Seven Kill Inheritor he had been hunting down recently.

Revenge.

This was retribution from the Seven Kill Inheritor.

He desperately wished to vanquish the Seven Kill Inheritor on the spot, but facing this elusive adversary, a sudden weariness overcame him.

Too damn difficult to handle.

As for the devastating losses Silver Horn City suffered from the plunder, he was speechless.

Silver Horn City, a trade city including a trading market, was established under his leadership.

Despite Eight Desolate Clan’s prominence, it actually comprised hundreds of clans, each occupying its own turf; his efforts aimed to exchange surplus for deficiency, converting each clan’s accumulated supplies into pure beads that could rapidly enhance cultivation level, also amassing cultivation materials for the Eight Desolate Royal Court quickly.

This was a five-fold profit.

The City Lord of Silver Horn City remitted supplies once a month, receiving pure beads in exchange. The last remittance was twenty-four days ago; now, all of this month’s supplies were looted by the Seven Kill Inheritor.

Ju Zhang had already decided that going forward, the supplies would be handed over to the Eight Desolate Royal Court once every ten days instead of once every half-month.

Moreover, the assault on Silver Horn City brought Ju Zhang a profound sense of crisis.

The Seven Kill Inheritor must be dealt with immediately.

Otherwise, Silver Horn City would merely be the beginning.

Once the Seven Kill Inheritor commences surprise attacks on various clan cities in succession, it would mark the onset of a nightmare.

Assigning two or three Eighth Tiers to defend each city won’t suffice; it would only make it easier for the Seven Kill Inheritor to defeat them individually. Even five or six would require utmost caution, and posting ten might just provide some semblance of security.

But the problem is, Ju Zhang lacked adequate Eighth Tiers to deploy.

He could no longer sleep peacefully.

Before this happened, Ju Zhang hesitated to invite the newly arrived Ninth Tier Baidou Divine Sect Hierarch Ji Qu to join the team besieging the Seven Kill Inheritor three days later.

Inviting someone to assist in eliminating an enemy right upon arrival seemed rather undignified.

Yet now, dignity no longer mattered.

There are no walls without chinks.

The bloodbath at Silver Horn City would soon spread.

If several more cities suffer the same fate, Ju Zhang’s face would end up trodden on by the Seven Kill Inheritor.

In an instant, the King of Eight Desolations, Ju Zhang, decided that three days later, once his father, Golden Shuo True Monarch, resonates with the Seven Kill Inheritor’s life essence, he would request the aid of Blood God Sect Hierarch Yu Shen and Baidou Divine Sect Hierarch Ji Qu, both Ninth Tiers, in pursuing the Seven Kill Inheritor.

No Eighth Tier would accompany them.

Involving them would only impede their speed and efficiency.

A combined assault by three Ninth Tiers on a mere Sixth Tier Ninth Layer Peak, even if the latter is an extraordinary genius known for breaking limits, what of it!

Success is inevitable.

As for whether these two Ninth Tiers are willing, that’s easily managed. With his esteemed status as King of Eight Desolations extending an invitation, and with some added incentives, the matter could be settled.

Eliminating the Seven Kill Inheritor has become an urgent priority.

Since now, it’s not merely about gains but losses!

Substantial losses!

Additionally, over the next three days, Eight Desolate Royal Court and every clan city within the Eight Desolate Clan must enter a state of combat readiness!

*****

Commander Mansion of Battle City One at the Eight Desolates Frontline.

The entire high command of the Human Clan had gathered in person for an emergency meeting.

Including Tianyang Star Lord, Cangming Star Lord, Doom-suppressing Star Lord, Dachen State Preceptor, Deputy Palace Master of Wood Spirit Palace, Deputy Palace Master of Sumeru Palace, Star River Battlefield Grand Marshal WieXu, Commanders of Dachen Battle Zone, Dahong Battle Zone, Dachu Battle Zone, and the Barbarian Clan Marshal.

The original meeting agenda was to determine concrete strategies, including strategic missions of each battle zone, coordination and collaboration when attacking the Eight Desolate Continent, logistics, and so forth.

Of course, the time to launch the attack was already set, three days later.

Yet, midway through the meeting, the three Ninth Tiers first sensed something unusual, stepped onto the stars, and gazed at the southern frontier of the Eight Desolate Continent opposite them.

There, an extremely intense fluctuation of heaven and earth appeared.

Simultaneously, several channels at the junction of the Star River Battlefield and the Eight Desolate Continent, which had initially stabilized, suddenly surged again, veiled in starlight curtain.

For unknown reasons, the entire Star Domain Force Field quaked once more.

This time, the tremor of the Star Domain Force Field was much weaker compared to before when the Eight Desolate Continent and Star River Battlefield were adjoining.

Yet, the Star Domain Force Field at the stable battlefield channel began vibrating again.
