Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1444: Chapter 579: Executing Chai Ce Before the Armies (Part 2)

In the next instant, Chai Ce waved his hand, and the ten thousand elite soldiers in the formation below solemnly saluted in unison, saying, "Salute the King of Territory."

The thunderous sound echoed in the sky, and the murderous aura soared.

Even though Xu Jin was prepared, he was still startled by this action.

If not for the Space Shifting Star Skill and the Seven Killings Dragon Escape Pillar at his side, Xu Jin would have been so frightened by the sudden movement of the military formation that he would have instinctively flown away.

A hill formed by gathering earth.

Xu Jin alone could easily kill hundreds or thousands of Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Tier elites.

But when these hundreds or thousands of elites combine their powers, Xu Jin would not dare to confront them head-on.

Especially with an Eighth Tier nearby.

Though he maintained a smile on his face, killing intent suddenly emerged in Xu Jin’s heart.

Intimidation!

Whether it was the arrangement of ten thousand elites to welcome him in battle formation or the previous action, it was all intimidation and warning from Marquis Yangdu Chai Ce.

This guy’s intention to rebel or to keep private soldiers was already blatantly obvious.

Even if we hadn’t known before about his collusion with the Baidou Divine Sect, now we must deal with it.

If left unchecked, countless innocent heroes of Dachen would die tragically because of him.

"Mr. Chai, I was previously ordered to pursue Wei Xu. I didn’t expect to track him to Yangdu Battle City, where I found your subordinates, Left Minister of War Che Rong and Right Military Adviser Sun Yi, seeming to shelter Wei Xu.

Mr. Chai, what do you have to say about this?" Xu Jin questioned directly after landing.

Upon hearing this question, Chai Ce breathed a sigh of relief.

Questioning is good.

Questioning on the spot indicates that it was more of a ripple effect rather than a deliberate target on him, making it easier to handle this situation.

Avoiding the topic would have been the real trouble.

At this point, Chai Ce also looked helpless, saying, "I just received the news and hurried here to deal with it.

I didn’t expect these two to be such traitors.

I’ve already executed Sun Yi and his confidants on the spot.

I must thank the Sea Suppressing King for dealing with Che Rong.

After completing a detailed investigation about this matter, I will report it to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to judge."

Xu Jin’s eyes intently fixed on Chai Ce, whose reaction, in turn, prompted a smile, "Does the King of Territory not believe me?"

"A little."

"That’s normal."

Chai Ce nodded, "I have a responsibility for oversight too, but I’ve also investigated the cause. As you know, Wei Xu was the Grand Marshal of the Galaxy Battlefield. My troops stationed here had to deal with the Marshal Mansion of the Galaxy Battlefield for many matters.

I was busy with cultivation before, leaving many external affairs to these two to handle.

I suppose it was during this time that these two were beguiled by Wei Xu and bought over by him.

From today, my Mystic Tiger Army will undergo a thorough internal performance review from top to bottom. We will investigate internally, and I ask the King of Territory to witness."

In the next moment, Xu Jin gave Chai Ce a thumbs-up.

"Mr. Chai, you are clever."

Chai Ce smiled back, not fully grasping the meaning.

"Mr. Chai, you have completely shifted responsibility from this matter, but is there something else Mr. Chai might remember?" Xu Jin asked with a smile.

"What thing?"

"Fourth Tier Fire Cloud Star Domain!"

Chai Ce showed a look of contemplation, as if he remembered something, and his gaze towards Xu Jin suddenly froze.

At the exact same moment, Xu Jin’s eyes shone brilliantly, becoming incomparably deep.

As Chai Ce looked over, he felt the color of heaven and earth suddenly change. In an instant, the world transformed dramatically, and Thunder Light danced above his head.

"King of Territory, who exactly are you?" Chai Ce asked in bewilderment.

Crash!

The Thunder Light already cascaded down from above Chai Ce’s head, startling him into shouting angrily as he ordered the army formation to attack.

Strangely, the ten thousand elites below stood motionless, like wooden figures.

It was as if they hadn’t heard his military order.

Meanwhile, bolts of Thunder Light struck repeatedly.

Each strike decimated part of Chai Ce’s figure.

Chai Ce’s body was rapidly shrinking.

Chai Ce was terrified as he continuously activated Star Power, persistently ordering his soldiers to engage, but not a single soldier moved.

Star Skill: Killing Dream!

In the dream, Chai Ce was trapped in a desperate situation, blasted by Xu Jin’s Thunder Light until the color of heaven and earth altered, approaching death.

Yet in reality, on the command platform of the Central Army Camp, Military Lord Chai Ce and King of Territory Xu Jin sat side by side, seemingly whispering to each other.

King of Territory Xu Jin’s face was all smiles, while Military Lord Chai Ce’s expression appeared a bit surprised.

However, due to the deaths of confidants Che Rong and Sun Yi, although some generals below noticed the change in the Military Lord’s expression, none dared to act rashly.

No military orders, no unauthorized movements!

In the Killing Dream, Chai Ce’s expression became increasingly fearful.

A great terror emerged in his heart.

His figure dwindled to only a fifth of its original size.

Vaguely, he felt that if this continued, he would surely die.

The life-saving treasure must be used.

With a thought, he intended to take out the Hidden True Monarch Seal of the Baidou Divine Sect, a rarely shown item.

It was a Seven-Star Spiritual Treasure of the Divine Soul Type that he had cultivated for many years.

Also, it was his life treasure.

Under its attack, anyone below the Late Primordial Spirit would suffer severe injuries.

Even a strong expert who cultivated Divine Soul to Peak Primordial Spirit would be hurt, giving him a chance to escape alive.

Yet, at the thought, his Hidden True Monarch Seal didn’t come out.

Suddenly being bombarded by Heavenly Thunder, Chai Ce stood frozen.

Something’s wrong.

No space sealing, and even ordinary space sealing couldn’t possibly restrict his Sumeru Space.

There’s something amiss.

Illusion Realm?

Illusion?

In the next instant, under the bombardment of Heavenly Thunder, Chai Ce voluntarily closed his eyes.

Almost simultaneously, sensing Chai Ce’s actions, Xu Jin unhesitatingly and promptly exited the Killing Dream.
