Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation-Chapter 564 - 235: Soul Scattered and Wits Dispersed_2

Cheng Yuxiao didn’t pay any attention.

At this time, he didn’t want to look at the ordinary Starlight Transmissions.

Ordinary matters could wait until everything was settled.

At this time, all he wanted to do was to skin Hu Zhen alive to comfort the tens of thousands of souls of the slaughtered people in Shilong County!

He skinned another slice.

But the next instant, State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao’s Star-picking Order began to vibrate again, this time thrice in succession!

This represented utmost urgency!

Normally no one dared to send urgent Starlight Transmissions to State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao frivolously.

Sending them frivolously was a punishable offense!

He had to check it!

But as he was skinning the Primordial Spirit of Hu Zhen, he decided to finish this slice before checking it, which was just a moment’s delay.

However, before State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao could finish this slice, his Star-picking Order vibrated again, still in three succession.

Urgent!

Cheng Yuxiao frowned and quickly finished the slice, his mind then delved into the Star-picking Order.

He couldn’t delay important matters.

But just as his mind touched the Star-picking Order, State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao’s complexion turned exceedingly grim!

And even angry!

[State Preceptor, that’s enough.]

[State Preceptor, please stop now, that’s enough.]

[State Preceptor, the Tianyang Star Lord is right in front of me at this very moment, do you want me to accompany Hu Zhen in death?]

Three consecutive Starlight Transmissions, all from one person—Emperor Gao Ye of Qian’an Da Chen!

The third Starlight Transmission infuriated State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao directly.

How did the Tianyang Star Lord enter the Great Chen Imperial Palace and even sit across from Emperor Qian’an?

Wasn’t Wanyi under martial law when he arrived?

Hadn’t the Chief of Star Patrol, Pei Ze, been stationed in the Da Chen Star-picking Tower?

Even if the Tianyang Star Lord himself had come, with the power of the Da Chen Star-picking Tower Main Building lent to Great Governor Pei Ze, he should have been able to counter the Tianyang Star Lord. With the Tier Eight Old Tributor in the palace taking action, even a full-force Tianyang Star Lord couldn’t have invaded Wanyi.

Everything had been arranged before his arrival!

How could it have...

Immediately, Cheng Yuxiao was about to send a Starlight Transmission to Great Governor Pei Ze to inquire about the details.

Just as he was about to send the transmission, the Star-picking Order urgently vibrated, indicating an urgent Starlight Transmission sent by Great Governor Pei Ze.

[State Preceptor, the Tianyang Star Lord has descended upon Wanyi. I intended to stop the attack, but His Majesty directly welcomed him into the palace. I could do nothing but report to the State Preceptor and request you to make an appropriate decision.]

Cheng Yuxiao’s complexion instantly turned extremely unpleasant.

He had made all preparations.

He had clearly arranged all external enemies.

But he hadn’t expected that the problem would actually arise from his own backyard.

While pondering, the Star-picking Order vibrated urgently again, another mission of utmost urgency.

[State Preceptor, the Tianyang Star Lord has already apologized on behalf of Hu Zhen and agreed to compensate for the dead civilians. Hu Zhen has paid the price as well, please release Hu Zhen as soon as possible, lest we repeat what happened twenty years ago.]

Emperor Qian’an urged again.

This was already the fourth urgent Imperial Decree.

Emperor Qian’an’s Starlight Transmission wasn’t an imperial edict, but it was imperial intent.

Yet, after only a few moments of hesitation, State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao made his decision!

With the power vested in him, not all imperial commands must be obeyed!

Why did the Tianyang Star Lord directly go to the Great Chen Imperial Palace, threaten the Emperor of Da Chen, and have the Emperor of Da Chen comply so readily?

From the current actions, they didn’t want to escalate the issue!

Thus, it was even less likely to kill Emperor Qian’an over the massacre committed by Hu Zhen, risking the massive blame of the world.

In that case, the Tianyang Star Lord would become the common enemy of everyone.

Not to mention others, even Emperor Da Hong, who was under the rule of Tianyang Star Hall, would be restless! fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

The act of regicide, without a just cause, is bound to meet its consequence.

Such consequences were something the Tianyang Star Hall couldn’t bear!

Furthermore, the incident of Hu Zhen’s massacre already stood on the side opposite of justice.

Should the Tianyang Star Lord dare commit regicide over Hu Zhen’s massacre, what difference would there be from the Blood God Sect?

But, Cheng Yuxiao couldn’t directly say: If you dare, commit regicide!

So, he still needed to continue strategizing against the Tianyang Star Lord to have a chance to completely eliminate Hu Zhen, deterring all evils!

Moreover, for the good of the bigger picture, Hu Zhen’s execution must be public.

It must be witnessed by all parties!

The Tianyang Star Hall had to swallow this bitter pill.

In the short term, they would not be able to retaliate!

Hence, the few key witnesses were extremely crucial.

He skinned another slice from Hu Zhen’s Primordial Spirit. State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao then looked at Left Libationer Meng Yanhui, his expression urging action.

But the next instant, all color drained from the face of Left Libationer Meng Yanhui!

His eyes filled with anger!

This made Cheng Yuxiao’s brow suddenly raise—what had happened now.

"State Preceptor, the Left Minister of War from the Galaxy Battlefield Commander Mansion said he’s not coming anymore and has already returned to the Commander Mansion," Meng Yanhui transmitted.

"Why?"

"The Left Minister of War said he received an imperial command from our Emperor of Da Chen, stating the matter has been resolved and his presence was no longer needed, so he turned back!"

In an instant, State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao’s eyes bulged with rage, feeling a surge of emotion in his chest.

He almost spat blood!

This sabotage from behind was done thoroughly enough.

The next instant, Cheng Yuxiao looked in the direction of Wanyi, his gaze turning frosty—he still had a move!

And it was his last move.

"Yanhui, immediately send an order to Song Bing, telling him to quickly distribute the already produced Imaging Jade of Hu Zhen’s massacre across all the major Star Halls and county cities, spare no expense, send it!

Today, I must kill Hu Zhen!

If Hu Zhen is not killed, Da Chen won’t be at peace!" Cheng Yuxiao decisively resolved.

"Yes."

As they spoke, the State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao’s Star-picking Order vibrated continuously again, registering two more urgent Starlight Transmissions.
