Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1639: Chapter 672: Token of Allegiance

In Xu Jin’s Mingji Star Pattern perception, a thousand miles away, the mid-stage Ninth Tier expert with the surname Pei, who was previously with the Lu Family cohort, was blowing a bamboo flute and quickly advancing.

But terrifyingly, ahead of him, as many as over three hundred Gu Beasts were surging like a tide towards the Yutang the Zhu Family disciples under the urging of the bamboo flute’s sound.

Among these three hundred Gu Beasts, there were four Ninth Rank Gu Beasts.

The situation of the three members of Yutang the Zhu Family was already extremely difficult, struggling left and right under the siege of the Gu Beasts.

With the arrival of these Gu Beasts, certain death awaited them.

Having observed this scene, Xu Jin quickly connected the events together, as he had experienced significant situations before, he had already made a basic judgment.

This was the grudge between the True Monarch royal families of the Lu Family and the Zhu Family!

If he made a move, he would inevitably be drawn into the grudge between these two wealthy families.

He saw through it in an instant.

But in the next moment, Xu Jin had already decided to take action.

Safety and the road ahead do not come from waiting.

One must fight.

The stormier the sea, the more valuable the fish.

The greater the crisis the Zhu Family faced, the more significant his role became.

However, timing the intervention was also crucial.

After careful consideration, Xu Jin decided to act immediately.

Waiting another 15 mins might push the Zhu Family disciples into a deadly situation, but intervening then would seem too opportune.

Anyone with intelligence would have doubts, and trust would be harder to earn.

However, even at this moment, the three experts of the Zhu Family had already fallen into a predicament!

Or rather, they were headed towards an upcoming predicament!

"Prince, we fear we cannot hold on much longer, take advantage of your current state and quickly use the Life Replacement Token to leave here, there’s still a chance," said Wang Ji, the late-stage Ninth Tier Ritual Officer of the Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion.

Upon hearing this, the fair-skinned Zhu youth responded with sorrow, "Uncle Prince, there’s no chance left. This situation obviously targets us. The relocation range of the Life Replacement Token is only two thousand miles, they won’t let me go."

"Prince, even if you cannot obtain the Marquis candidate Daoist status, but given the state and your strength, you can persist for two more days despite their targeting, you will definitely leave alive, others who used the Life Replacement Token previously will come looking for you," Wang Ji urged.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Shizhen’s expression turned even more tragic, "Uncle Prince, if I cannot even obtain the qualification for the Marquis candidate Daoist, what meaning is there to leave alive?

That would only invite ridicule."

Upon saying this, the Ritual Officer Wang Ji became urgent, "Prince, what is this talk, as long as the green hills remain, there is no fear of lacking firewood! If it doesn’t work this time, there will be a next time."

"If it doesn’t work this time, in another decade, who knows if the Royal Mansion will even exist!" Zhu Shizhen responded with sorrow.

"I wonder if there’s a passing choice warrior who can help us?" Another True Monarch Mansion Ritual Officer, Chang Lin, glanced at the sky.

"Don’t count on it! Given this setup, there are very few who could rescue us!"

Saying this, fierce hatred suddenly flared up in Zhu Shizhen’s eyes, "I now only hate Li Tai, I trusted him completely, responded to all requests, rewarded generously, yet he betrayed me at a critical moment, sold me out.

Lords, regardless of the outcome of this venture, no matter who leaves alive.

You must pass this message on, I want Li Tai dead!"

"Rest assured, Prince..."

Boom!

The sound of thunder suddenly echoed from afar, as it sounded, Thunder Light was already exploding in front of everyone.

Just one strike of the Thunder Light caused the late-stage Ninth Tier Gu Beast entangled with Chang Lin to utter a sharp scream, half its body had become charred.

"Protect the Prince!"

As Wang Ji cried out, Thunder Light had already darted forward, sword light soared instantly, Starlight descended, Galaxy like a sword, one slash out, the nearly dead late-stage Ninth Tier Gu Beast was directly split into pieces, and even the six or seven Eighth Rank Gu Beasts behind it were all cut down.

Xu Jin’s figure emerged.

Chang Lin, Wang Ji, and Zhu Shizhen looked at Xu Jin, who appeared like a Heavenly God descending, the first two with expressions of joy, the latter with a complex expression of joy mixed with surprise.

"What are you standing there for, kill the enemies!"

Xu Jin shouted decisively, Thunder Light burst from his palm, the Star Killing Sword simultaneously slashed out, once again slaying another late-stage Ninth Tier Gu Beast.

This scene left the three of them in awe once more.

This strength!

Terrifying!

To effortlessly slay a late-stage Ninth Tier Gu Beast, ten years ago, Song Ju, who was the first choice warrior, was said to have the strength to subdue a Ninth Tier Gu Beast with one sword.

What they didn’t know was, Xu Jin hadn’t exerted his full strength.

All of this was merely a casual strike.

Xu Jin, at Fourth Layer Seventh Tier, could already slay a late-stage Ninth Tier.

Now with cultivation level reaching the early stage of Eighth Tier, despite just having entered Eighth Tier, his combat power, compared to when he slew Ju Zhang and Xuan Hu, had greatly improved.

Especially his Daoist Embryo Cultivation, compared to back then, had surged dramatically.

Under the passive growth of Clear Soul, coupled with the support of many Seventh Tier and rare Eighth Tier Divine Soul Type Spiritual Medicines, now reaching the late stage of Sixth Tier Daoist Embryo.

Within the same realm, his Divine Soul Cultivation was overwhelmingly powerful.

For Zhu Shizhen and others, the danger they faced was actually from those four Ninth Tier Gu Beasts.

But these four Ninth Tier Gu Beasts were mixed amongst hundreds of Eighth Rank Gu Beasts, extremely tricky to handle.

Suddenly having two of them eliminated by a stranger significantly reduced the pressure in an instant, lifting their spirits.

Immediately they began counterattacking.

Two breaths later, of the remaining two Ninth Tier Gu Beasts, one was slain by Xu Jin, the other by Zhu Shizhen and Wang Ji working together.
