Chapter 2067: Chapter 888: The Truth?
In the void of the Star Ruins, Xu Jin’s hand slowly left the half-crippled Divine Infant of the captive Four Tribulation True Monarch Hu Yiwei.
With a terrified look in the latter’s eyes, Thunder Light surged from Xu Jin’s palm.
In an instant, as the Divine Infant turned to smoke, a Four Tribulation True Monarch Blood Crystal floated before Xu Jin.
After casually collecting it, Xu Jin quickly retrieved his Sumeru Space and, with one step, vanished from the spot.
One doesn’t stop halfway.
Since having already killed two True Monarchs that ambushed him, this True Monarch who located him must also be eradicated.
Thus, they can die without evidence!
This Four Tribulation True Monarch Hu Yiwei had limited knowledge.
Five days ago, on September 23, he received a notice from the Eight Tribulation True Monarch Zou Shan, stating a special mission for him, but due to its nature, he couldn’t tell anyone, and he should take leave under the guise of secluded cultivation.
Three days ago, the Eight Tribulation True Monarch Zou Shan arrived at Spirit Sun Star Island under the pretext of passing through.
Subsequently, Zou Shan and Hu Yiwei left Spirit Sun Star Island, met with Seven Tribulation True Monarch Wuo Feng, and had him continuously activate the Source Thousand Touch Divine Power in the void.
Upon any discovery, Space Seven Tribulation True Monarch Wuo Feng would go to investigate, having previously found several passersby.
Only today, upon discovering Xu Jin, did things take a turn.
Of course, Hu Yiwei wasn’t so foolish as to follow Zou Shan’s call blindly.
There is a deeper layer of complex personal relationships involved.
For instance, Eight Tribulation True Monarch Zou Shan and Hu Yiwei once served as trusted aides to Yu Kun Emperor.
However, Eight Tribulation True Monarch Zou Shan garnered sufficient military merits, accumulating enough cultivation resources, and having served in combat for a full sixty years, could go out to recuperate for thirty years, returning to the Star River World to cultivate.
Hu Yiwei, being somewhat lacking in various aspects, remained on the Star Ruins Battlefield.
The two were life-and-death friends at the time.
Zou Shan approached him, and Hu Yiwei trusted and fully cooperated.
But their true purposes were unknown to Hu Yiwei.
Xu Jin estimated this Hu Yiwei might ultimately be a pawn to be discarded.
If Zou Shan and Wuo Feng succeeded in ambushing Xu Jin, Hu Yiwei would likely be killed for confidentiality.
Moreover, Space Seven Tribulation True Monarch Wuo Feng is a direct line of the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment.
Understanding this, Xu Jin completely realized who the masterminds were.
"Who would have thought, to deal with me, True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment and Yu Kun Emperor actually joined hands?"
"But indeed, although their interests differ, their goal is the same.
A Nine Tribulation True Monarch and an Emperor conspiring against a mere Tenth Rank Star Monarch like me, truly formidable!
Let me grow first!" Contemplating, Xu Jin’s eyes were filled with killing intent.
Ultimately, after careful deliberation, Xu Jin decided to continue heading toward the Tongxuan Battle Zone Star Island.
As per Xu Jin’s current judgment, the entire Tongxuan Domain, including the Tongxuan Battle Zone, still maintained order.
Even the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment and Yu Kun Emperor couldn’t act as they pleased!
According to the timeline in the intelligence gathered from Four Tribulation True Monarch Hu Yiwei, personnel like True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment began to plan actions only after Xu Jin determined to go for enlightenment at the Wordless Heavenly Stele.
It was unlikely Defender Guan had leaked his movements.
Furthermore, Zou Shan and Wuo Feng’s actions were cloaked and disguised among the ranks.
It shows they couldn’t cover the sky with one hand.
In other words, Tongxuan Battle Zone Star Island is actually safe.
In the next instant, Xu Jin vanished on the spot.
After teleporting less than twenty times, Xu Jin once again encountered a True Monarch’s patrol signaling him to stop for inspection in the void of Star Ruins.
This time, Xu Jin became extremely vigilant.
While obeying the order, he first set up two Seven Killings Dragon Escape Pillars for emergencies.
The Space Five Tribulation True Monarch patrolling arrived quicker than Xu Jin imagined, arriving within ten breaths in front of him.
Routine.
This allowed Xu Jin to breathe a sigh of relief.
Previously, he was intercepted by Wuo Feng who altered his aura, taking nearly thirty breaths to arrive.
Now Xu Jin managed to figure it out.
Actually, Wuo Feng was nearby, but didn’t immediately rush forward mainly to buy time for Zou Shan.
After blocking him, they further delayed with various excuses, buying time for Zou Shan to arrive.
Xu Jin hadn’t noticed at the time.
So, this time, Xu Jin was prepared. If encountering a similar situation, he’d strike first.
After all, in the vast Star Ruins Sky, as long as they are slain, they’d die without evidence!
And due to the disparity in strength, few would suspect him.
However, this time, it turned out to be a normal patrol True Monarch check.
This patrol True Monarch only verified Xu Jin’s Tongxuan Order and special military order, waved his hand, and left first.
Surprised yet relieved, Xu Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
Earlier, Xu Jin prepared for the worst.
If this wave still involved True Monarchs out to ambush him, he’d have to reconsider heading to Tongxuan Battle Zone Star Island.
If True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment and Yu Kun Emperor could continually deploy high-tier True Monarchs across the vast Star Ruins Sky in ambush, it would imply Tongxuan Battle Zone Star Island was compromised.
Kongyuan Emperor’s control was too weak.
Perhaps returning to Changxing Star Island or simply fleeing from the Star Ruins Tongxuan Battle Zone would be the best choice.
Then, in seclusion at Emperor Fenghua’s side for decades, before returning for vengeance.
In face of life safety, the need for Innate Fire Essence must be postponed!
Subsequently, Xu Jin encountered two inspections by True Monarchs, both of which were simple checks followed by clearance.
Meanwhile, Xu Jin attempted to use invisibility to evade the search by Source Thousand Touch Divine Power.
But the results were minimal.
Unless Xu Jin remained hidden and motionless, any fluctuation in Star Power would inevitably be detected by Source Thousand Touch.
After relocating more than ten times, Xu Jin finally saw the vast and boundless Tongxuan Battle Zone Star Island.
The last time he came, he was transported directly and had never viewed Tongxuan Battle Zone Star Island from the Star Ruins Sky.
Now, looking at it, he felt a sense of awe; from top to bottom and front to back, it stretched thousands of miles.
In the next instant, Xu Jin stepped out from the void and appeared directly three thousand miles outside Tongxuan Battle Zone Star Island.
Within three thousand miles around Tongxuan Battle Zone Star Island, entry by space movement is forbidden; trespassers will be killed!
This is the military order!
Before departing, Mr. Guan specifically instructed Xu Jin.
Fifteen minutes later, after passing multiple inspections, Xu Jin finally boarded Tongxuan Battle Zone Star Island and immediately sent Starlight Transmission to Mr. Guan, reporting his safety.
Then, according to orders, he proceeded to the designated inn for rest.
All who come by military order to Tongxuan Battle Zone Star Island can reside in the inn.
Upon entering the inn, Xu Jin immediately activated the Guard Array and began searching and sorting the items in the Sumeru Space of Eight Tribulation True Monarch Zou Shan, Seven Tribulation True Monarch Wuo Shen, and Four Tribulation True Monarch Hu Yiwei.
Not for tallying the loot,
but to examine for any item that carried personal information or characteristics of these three True Monarchs.
Once found, he immediately unleashed Flame Light, turning them into ashes.
Xu Jin did this to eliminate any potential hidden dangers.
Conflict among kin is a major taboo!
Though Xu Jin acted in self-defense, this matter could not be explained clearly if brought to light, so it was necessary to first destroy any possible evidence.
For absolute security!
*****
Ancient Tree Star Island.
The high-tier True Monarchs of Ancient People Star Island were hosting a banquet for the visiting True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment.
The True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment was not only a central close minister to the Emperor but reportedly had almost stepped onto the Emperor Path, with high potential to attain Emperor status in the future.
In every aspect, he was worth befriending.
The True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment was also pleased to socialize.
The longer he socialized here, the more he could distance himself from the commotion over there.
After all, the Emperor had more than one close minister, more than one pair of eyes!
During the banquet and dance, the Divine Thought of the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment occasionally scanned his Tongxuan Order, waiting for good news.
Whether it was Thunder Chaos Material or the Star Killing Skill of Seven Kills True Monarch, they were treasures he longed for, especially the latter.
Suddenly, the Starlight of the Tongxuan Order of the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment flickered.
The Divine Thought of the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment instantly moved and sank in.
In an instant, the expression deep in the eyes of the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment changed, even his hand holding the wine stagnated for a moment.
He had just received a report from his subordinates: Xu Jin had already arrived at Tongxuan Battle Zone Star Island; he appeared without any anomaly!
Receiving this news, the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment lost any interest in the banquet but, being deeply reserved, continued to socialize with an unchanged expression while sending out a series of Starlight Transmissions.
Fifteen minutes later, the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment found an excuse to end the banquet and returned to his temporary hall.
As the Starlight Array rose, the expression of the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment suddenly turned extremely grim, "Yukun, are you saying you cannot reach Zou Shan at all?"
"Cannot reach, even the special emergency method cannot connect!
In the Star Ruins Sky, something has happened!
They’re surely in trouble!" Yu Kun Emperor sent a Starlight Transmission.
"An Eight Tribulation and a Space Seven Tribulation True Monarch, a sure thing, how could something happen?"
"I also think it’s impossible, but Xu Jin indeed arrived safely at Tongxuan Star Island!
If they ambushed him, yet Xu Jin escaped!
Do you think Xu Jin would report this?" Yu Kun Emperor sounded worried.
"Don’t worry about that! Yukun, wait for a bit, let me contact Wuo Feng and see what’s actually going on!
As long as I contact Wuo Feng, he should be able to return to somewhere near a star island within the shortest time and contact me!" said the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment.
As he spoke, the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment took out a uniquely designed blood-colored Jade.
This blood-colored Jade was an extraordinarily unique Yin God Jade, containing a strand of Wuo Feng’s Divine Separation.
It could be used for emergency communication.
Though convenient, it had a huge cost and was not used except in emergencies.
But as he took it out, the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment was dumbfounded, his eyes couldn’t help but widen round!
This blood-colored Jade was already covered with faint cracks.
Worse, there was no aura inside.
Typically, only upon the destruction of the main body Divine Infant would the Divine Separation within dissipate!
This indicated that Space Seven Tribulation True Monarch Wuo Feng was already dead, his soul dispersed!
The True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment informed Yu Kun Emperor of his discovery, and Yu Kun Emperor immediately exclaimed, "With the combined power of Zou Shan and Wuo Feng, even Nine Tribulation True Monarch couldn’t kill them easily!
How is this possible?"
After a brief silence, the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment replied in a solemn voice, "Find, as long as we find the True Monarch who wielded Source Thousand Touch in collaboration, the truth will be revealed!"
"Alright, Spirit Sun Star Island, I’m familiar, I’ll arrange someone!"
