Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1728: Chapter 715: Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand (Part 2)

Therefore, Xu Jin is very confident that as long as the Star Gate transports him over, he can use Space Movement to leave safely at the first moment.

From the instant he descended from the Star Gate, Xu Jin quickly activated the Mingji Star Pattern, clearly understanding the situation in all directions.

Two Ninth Tier, twenty Eighth Tier.

Within a radius of five thousand miles, there was no Peak of Ninth Tier, let alone Tenth Rank Little Star Monarch level experts.

"Is this my good luck, or is it Mr. Wei’s good luck?"

While Xu Jin was pondering, he looked at the approaching two Ninth Tier and twenty Eighth Tier, slightly frowned.

Judging from this situation, perhaps Mr. Wei’s luck is not too good.

It’s a tradition in Dongxuan Star Realm for each Small World to have someone guard the Star Gate.

It’s considered both guarding and welcoming envoys, a set of routines for receiving and bidding farewell.

But the problem is, the elite arranged here seems a bit excessive.

This Star Gate is basically used once a year, arranging so many elite here is purely a waste of manpower.

Moreover, speaking from the perspective of power composition, if the two Ninth Tier and twenty Eighth Tier mid to late period were to form a military formation, it might be difficult to slay an ordinary Tenth Rank Little Star Monarch, but trapping or holding them up would definitely not be a problem.

Of course, Xu Jin was just being cautious in his heart.

The exaggeration in receiving and bidding farewell is still understandable.

"We humbly welcome the envoy, please show the keepsake." Wei Han, late Ninth Tier, led the group in welcoming Xu Jin while promptly reporting the situation to Wei Song, the military leader.

Upon receiving the message, Wei Song was taken aback, just an Eighth Tier Peak?

Is the Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion playing around?

[I will be there shortly, try to get some information in the meantime, and ask if there are more reinforcements coming.]

While giving instructions, Wei Song reported the intelligence to Liu Hongzhi of the Xiji Star Monarch Mansion, whom he had aligned with.

The latter was also stunned upon hearing this.

Eighth Tier Peak reinforcements?

Is the Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion sending people ahead to scout the way?

Or is it?

At that moment, as he instructed Wei Song to gather information, the three slowed their flight to avoid alerting the enemy.

There’s no reward for cutting down an Eighth Tier.

They must keep on fishing.

Xu Jin, looking at the late Ninth Tier Wei Han, emotionlessly presented the Jade Hall True Monarch Order, Wei Han and others’ expressions changed, and they immediately performed grand obeisance.

This confirmed the identity.

However, before Xu Jin could speak, Wei Han proactively asked, "Dare I ask the envoy, are there more envoys coming later?

If so, we will prepare in advance."

Xu Jin coldly stared at Wei Han, directly causing Wei Han’s heart to tremble with fear, then asked, "Have you notified Mr. Wei? When is he coming?"

"Reporting to the envoy, I have already notified Mr. Wei, and he is on his way here; please wait a moment," Wei Han replied.

Xu Jin nodded lightly and stood in the air, sensing in all directions.

Seeing this, Wei Han asked again, "Envoy, our leader has prepared a grand welcome banquet, if more envoys are coming, please inform us so that our leader can prepare early, to avoid neglecting the envoy."

While saying this, Wei Han’s demeanor was extremely humble.

Yet despite this, Xu Jin’s intent to kill began to arise within.

Just now he thought Mr. Wei Song was quite lucky.

But now it seems, this guy’s luck is the worst; today there shall be a calamity.

A guarding general asking the number of envoys for the first time might seem normal.

But the second time is highly suspicious.

Xu Jin coldly swept his gaze over Wei Han, causing the latter to lower his head instantly, then Xu Jin looked at the Eighth Tier individuals, lightly saying, "Raise your heads."

At the flick of command, the Eighth Tier individuals raised their heads and met Xu Jin’s gaze, at which point the Warm Dream Star Pattern activated instantly.

Among these Eighth Tiers, a third of their Divine Soul Cultivation was at Fourth Tier Peak, without condensing Primordial Spirit, and the others, even if they condensed Primordial Spirit, were only at the early or middle period.

In an instant, an Eighth Tier cultivator with Primordial Spirit Cultivation not reaching Fifth Tier was pulled into the dream by Xu Jin across the distance.

This was one of the effects of the Warm Dream Star Pattern advanced to Ninth Tier by Xu Jin.

Previously, the gaze could only pull into the Killing Dream to perform slaughter, but after advancing to Ninth Tier, the gaze can directly pull into the dream for interrogation.

Theoretically, below the Daoist Embryo, Xu Jin could pull anyone into the dream through gaze.

But at this moment, Xu Jin cautiously chose a few Eighth Tiers who had not condensed their Primordial Spirit.

In the dream, Xu Jin quickly asked two questions.

When did he come here to guard?

What kind of people used to guard the Star Gate here, and how many?

What were their identities before coming?

The replies in the dream were swift, and the Eighth Tier pulled into the Warm Dream only felt a moment of disorientation before returning to normal.

But he himself broke out in a cold sweat.

With the envoy present, how could his spirit be so weak?

In just two breaths, Xu Jin questioned three Eighth Tiers with Ninth Tier Warm Dream Star Pattern on the same issue.

The situation was already clear in his mind.

It was basically confirmed.

The answers given by the three were almost identical.

They were all elite in the army, middle-level generals with strong combat power, capable of killing enemies across smaller realms.

In other words, these twenty Eighth Tiers basically all possessed Ninth Tier combat power.

They were transferred here for rotation defense half a month ago.

And before they came, the guards here consisted of only one early Ninth Tier and four Eighth Tiers, along with a squad of elite units ranging from Fifth Tier to Seventh Tier, and several hundred laborers handling logistics and miscellaneous tasks.

Wei Han on the side was unaware of all this.
