CHAPTER 649: CHAPTER 266: LONG TIME NO SEE

In a mansion on the Galaxy Battlefield, a stream of Starlight descended from the heavens and landed in the palm of an elder dressed in brocade.

He only glanced at it briefly, but the elder’s eyebrows soon furrowed tightly.

This was the preliminary investigation report sent by Feng Zhi about Zhu Wenhai’s death—it was mostly accurate, but...

"Present-day Human Race expert?"

Out of nowhere, how could a present-day Human Race intrude into a Fourth-tier Star Domain?

In most cases, when the present-day Human Race intrudes into a Fourth-tier or higher Star Domain, they are essentially seeking death.

Suddenly, the elder, surnamed Chai, remembered something.

"Manager Zhao," Elder Chai suddenly called out sharply.

The next instant, a middle-aged man appeared from the shadows, bowed, and said, "Marquis, please give your orders."

"Go and check if the Fire Cloud Star Domain is on the target list for this Lougong Battle?"

"Yes."

The man surnamed Zhao vanished into the shadows momentarily and reappeared about half an hour later, handing over a piece of jade.

"Marquis, the Fire Cloud Star Domain is indeed on the list for this Lougong Battle. Three days ago, elite disciples from Dachen entered the Fire Cloud Star Domain.

This jade contains information on the five elite disciples from the Da Chen National Daoist School who entered.

The information about their strengths is the latest, dated no more than half a month ago."

Marquis Chai took the jade with satisfaction.

This aspect of Zhao Weizhen’s work was the best; his sharp perception made him the most handy manager Marquis Chai had used over the years.

Assign him a task, and he could think of everything you might need and prepare it all, from beginning to end—

extremely time-saving,

extremely handy,

and never sloppy.

If it were any other manager, you might have to give the order several times.

He saved Marquis Chai much trouble.

Such talents were rare indeed.

Whenever there was a chance, he still had to fulfill this young man’s wish.

After all, this young man’s wish was only slightly challenging for him.

But after reviewing the information within the jade, Marquis Chai’s eyebrows furrowed again.

It shouldn’t be.

Looking at the profiles of the five, even Ye Anshi, the strongest among them, had only just broken through to the Seventh Layer of Star Condensation, Fourth Tier.

Based on his past performance, overcoming a tier to kill an early Fifth-tier Gathering Battle expert was his limit—mid Fifth-tier was doubtful.

But Zhu Wenhai was at the peak of Fifth Tier, and in crucial moments, he could upgrade to Pseudo Sixth-Tier, slightly surpassing the peak of Fifth Tier Gathering Battle, all while supported by an enormous amount of Star Power from the Divine Statue.

Let alone Fourth Tier Seventh Layer Ye Anshi, even if Ye Anshi advanced to Fifth Tier Seventh Layer, he likely couldn’t kill him.

Could it be that Ye Anshi had opened the Sumeru Space and brought in a Sixth-tier Emblem?

"Check again, use my authority to inquire."

"Yes."

Zhao Weizhen vanished into the shadows once more, while Marquis Chai took out a Star-picking Order and launched a Starlight Transmission.

Soon after, Vermilion Bird True Man of the Baidou Divine Sect responded.

[Five juveniles in the late Middle Fourth Tier, trying to kill Zhu Wenhai—you must be joking. Even with a Sixth-tier Emblem, unless Zhu Wenhai was careless, it’s absolutely impossible for him to be killed.]

[True Man, don’t worry. It has already been discovered that Zhu Wenhai was killed by the present-day Human Race elite, so it should be simple to find the Star Official Seal, just on one of the elites who intruded into the Fire Cloud Star Domain.

There are only a few of them, I’ll locate them one by one, and when they return, they’re as good as dead.]

[What if they hand the Star Official Seal to Cheng Yuxiao after they return?]

[That... but typically, the elite dispatched to deal with them wouldn’t be the opponents of these five, especially if they likely have Fifth-tier or even Sixth-tier Emblems.]

[Fifth-tier and Sixth-tier Emblems aren’t cabbages, not to mention such abundance in Dachen, even Tianyang Star Hall and Cangming Star Hall aren’t that wealthy. I don’t believe they can’t be overwhelmed with lives.

Send ten from the Peak Fourth Tier and I’ll send ten, let’s use lives to bury those five!

Besides, don’t you also have the support of the Star Domain natives?

This is the safest way!

If the items end up in Cheng Yuxiao’s hands, I’m finished, and I won’t let you off either.]

[True Man, your concerns are my concerns, we share weal and woe. I’ll completely cooperate with your plan. Let’s do it as you say—I’ll send the elites in, and my personnel will also support and send into the Fire Cloud Star Domain from the Galaxy Battlefield.

Even if it means using lives, those lives must be recovered.]

[Good!]

*****

In the Royal Palace of Wind Spirit City, when Xu Jin completely refined the two Initial Tier Wind Series Leopard Tail Staffs, the familiar feeling he once had in the Floral Star Domain came to him again.

The feeling of controlling everything returned,

and it was even stronger than the feeling from the Floral Star Domain.

The Authority of Heaven and Earth gained in Floral Star Domain was merely thirty percent.

But in Fire Cloud Star Domain, Xu Jin had now obtained forty percent of the Heaven and Earth Will Authority.

The next moment, with just a thought from Xu Jin, the whole Wind Spirit City was covered with dark clouds, and with another thought, the shining sun reappeared, and the clouds dispersed.

And Xu Jin had only used a tiny bit of his Divine Soul Power.

At the same time, Xu Jin was very aware of the extremely repellent aura of the Five Paths Heaven and Earth Will.

It was probably Ye Anshi and his elder martial sister Yang Miaozhen who had just arrived; their location was very clear.

Under such Authority of Heaven and Earth, Xu Jin could easily command the troops to go and encircle them.

This was why the State Preceptor said that united control over the Fourth-tier Star Domain and above was terrifying.

Having forty percent of the Heaven and Earth Will Authority, even a Sixth-tier would be overwhelmed by a war of attrition.
