Chapter 1778: Chapter 738: Execution Warrant (Part 2)
My son Wu Bei’s will mentions three Seven-Star Spiritual Treasures; one is to be returned to the clan, while the other two are to be kept by me until the two children have succeeded in their cultivation, then they can be passed on to them!
However, I’m afraid I might not be able to keep these two Seven-Star Spiritual Treasures!
They might even endanger the lives of our whole family because of them.
So I wish to ask Young Master Xu to continue helping in safeguarding these two Seven-Star Spiritual Treasures, which would be tantamount to saving my entire family’s lives." Mrs. Wu knelt as she spoke.
"This..."
Xu Jin hesitated a little; safeguarding two Seven-Star Spiritual Treasures was easy enough for him.
But taking on this responsibility also means taking on two more burdens!
The issue was Xu Jin himself was unsure how long he could stay in the Dongxuan Star Realm, hence his hesitation.
"I dare not trouble Young Master Xu overmuch, I only request him to safeguard these Seven-Star Spiritual Treasures for twenty years!
If within twenty years the two children succeed in their cultivation, they will certainly bring gifts to thank Young Master Xu.
If they have not visited Young Master Xu within twenty years, it means the two children lack the necessary talent and cultivation has not borne fruit.
At that point, Young Master Xu may decide on his own how to proceed." Mrs. Wu said.
"Decide on my own? That’s not right, these are Wu Bei’s heirlooms!" In a way, they indeed count as heirlooms.
In the Kunling Domain, Seven-Star Spiritual Treasures are only possessed by the imperial family.
"Alas, without talent, these are nothing but harbingers of death!
Still, I plead with Young Master Xu, out of sentiment for my son Wu Bei, to safeguard them for twenty years; if those youngsters succeed in their cultivation, they will definitely repay Young Master Xu’s great kindness." Mrs. Wu once again kowtowed with her children.
One must admit, this Mrs. Wu was truly a sober-minded person.
She lived with great clarity.
After some thought, Xu Jin agreed, which resolved the karmic ties with Wu Bei entirely.
He then produced a token given by Zhu Linxiao of the Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion, instructing them to utilize it to retrieve these two Seven-Star Spiritual Treasures from the Yutang Royal Mansion within twenty years, after he had briefed Zhu Linxiao on this matter.
Evidently, the name of the Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion had struck fear into the old lady.
To them, this name existed only in legends.
It was akin to telling commonfolk to retrieve treasures from the Imperial Palace.
Afterwards, Mrs. Wu led Xu Jin to meet Wu Zheng of the Wu Clan to disclose the portion of the will Wu Bei left for the clan before several clan elders.
Some elders inquired about the other two Seven-Star Spiritual Treasures, but Xu Jin cited war damages as an excuse to avert suspicion, providing shelter to the widow and orphans.
Finally, Xu Jin smoothly delivered Wu Bei’s last portion of the relics to the Wu Clan.
As the clearing was completed, Wu Le and the clan expressed their gratitude, Xu Jin felt an indescribable sense of relief.
Even his Daoist Embryo felt lighter, as if shedding an invisible shackle.
Origination of the Great Dao Oath, when activated
Xu Jin immediately understood that the matter had been fully resolved, the burden of the Great Dao Oath was completely lifted.
At the same time, it sounded an alarm for Xu Jin.
Things like the Great Dao Oath, if possible, should be avoided altogether.
When absolutely necessary, be cautious with the specific contents and keep them confidential; once made, early completion is best.
If Wu Bei’s wife, children, and elderly mother had faced tragedy and been silenced, where would Xu Jin cry out?
The path of the Dao would have been disrupted.
The risk was far too great!
From now on, utmost caution is advised!
Wu Zheng, clan leader of the Wu Clan, wanted to host a feast for Xu Jin, but Xu Jin declined.
He didn’t wish to linger.
If Bixuan True Monarch happened to track him, and shamelessly struck him down with a palm, that would be an awful loss!
It’s best to return to a safe zone promptly.
Upon leaving the Wu Clan’s ancestral land, Xu Jin took a brief stroll through the city before disappearing into invisibility.
He directly evaded the Wu Clan members tailing him, leading them to lose track and anxiously report back to the clan.
Xu Jin discerned some matters, and while concealed in the clouds, contemplated directly leaving through Space Movement multiple times but ultimately decided against it.
"Darn it, whatever happens, I’ll address it with a clear conscience later."
Having made his decision, Xu Jin concealed himself within the void, opening his Divine Thought to observe the situation inside Han State City, and also keeping watch on the Wu family’s state.
Before 15 minutes had passed, Wu Hui, son of clan leader Wu Zheng, led four clan members to Wu Bei’s home.
Seeing this, Xu Jin sighed again.
This Wu Clan leader was ultimately too conventional.
In the perception of Xu Jin’s Mingji Star Pattern, Wu Hui, eldest son of clan leader Wu Le, stormed straight into Wu Bei’s house, and upon unsuccessful inquiries, slapped the old lady to the ground, causing blood to flow from her mouth.
However, the old lady didn’t cry, only stating that she really had not returned the Treasures, allowing them to search the house freely.
Initially, Xu Jin hoped this could help Wu Bei’s family survive this ordeal and grow smoothly in the future.
Unexpectedly, Wu Hui, after a fruitless search, ordered his men to bind Wu Bei’s two children.
"You old witch, I don’t care how you hid them. If you don’t return those two Seven-Star Spiritual Treasures within half a day, you’ll be collecting corpses for your two grandchildren!" Wu Hui shouted angrily.
This truly hit the vital point of Mrs. Wu and the woman.
These two children were all their hope.
In an instant, Mrs. Wu, disregarding the disparity in strength, lunged forward to try and stop them.
Wu Hui sneered coldly, delivering a lightning-fast kick.
He was an Eighth Tier cultivator, and even if restrained, this kick would cripple if not kill Mrs. Wu.
"Why seek death?"
Unexpectedly, ghostly-like whispers suddenly echoed in Wu Hui’s ear, causing his expression to shift to shock and fear. Suddenly, blood spouted from his seven orifices, his body stiffened, and he fell backward, breathless.
It was Xu Jin, concealed in the void, who directly used his thoughts to destroy his Divine Soul.
Wu Hui’s four guards were horrified.
They looked all around in terror and after sensing no movement for some time, two of them carried Wu Hui’s corpse while the other two released Wu Bei’s two children.
"It really is..."
A subtle surge of Divine Soul fluctuated as the two guards holding Wu Bei’s children suddenly spouted blood from their seven orifices, falling backward breathless.
This scene directly scared the remaining two guards; they fled, abandoning Wu Hui’s corpse, stumbling back to report at the Wu Clan’s ancestral land.
Inside Wu Bei’s house, Mrs. Wu hugged the two rescued children, understanding what happened. She kowtowed towards the void in thanks, her face filled with worry.
A moment later, Xu Jin appeared above the Wu Clan’s ancestral land. After waiting a few moments for the two reporting guards to return in disgrace, they stammered their report, causing Wu Zheng’s expression to instantly darken.
"Someone killed my son from the shadows?"
In anger, clan leader Wu Zheng stepped onto the star and attempted to soar straight to Wu Bei’s residence to assess his son’s situation.
But as he ascended, Xu Jin’s reprimand resounded in his mind, "Immoral old thief, ordering the forceful seizure of the mortally wounded clansman’s relics, is worthy of execution!"
Boom!
Thunder Light cascaded down.
Just one strike of Heavenly Thunder turned Wu Zheng, a clan leader with a Cultivation Level at the Peak of Ninth Tier, into ash.
His Primordial Spirit flew out in terror, and before reacting, another thunder strike fell, rendering the Primordial Spirit into a wisp of vapor that disappeared.
With this, chaos engulfed the Wu Clan’s ancestral land.
The remaining five Ninth Tiers and more than ten Eighth Tiers stared at the sky, yet none dared ascend to search for the perpetrator.
Joking aside, if a clan leader with a Ninth Tier Peak Cultivation couldn’t even meet the enemy before being reduced to ash, they’re not going to risk their lives by ascending!
They weren’t foolish!
Yet the fear of death weighed heavily over them, causing Starlight Transmission messages to fly chaotically.
Ultimately, Xu Jin did not choose to exterminate every member of the Wu Clan.
Many were ignorant of the situation; even those aware weren’t worthy of death.
If he slaughtered them all, Xu Jin would be no different from the clan leader.
But he couldn’t simply walk away either.
Departing would doom Wu Bei’s elderly mother and children.
Thus, Xu Jin devised a solution, hurriedly sent a Starlight Transmission to Zhu Linxiao for assistance.
He requested Zhu Linxiao relocate the Wu family, arranging for them to cultivate and live under the royal mansion’s care.
[My dear, please wait a moment, the starship has already set off and will arrive within one two-hour.] Zhu Linxiao’s response to Xu Jin’s Starlight Transmission was instant, as always, entirely supportive.
