Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation-Chapter 567 - 235: Soul Scattered and Wits Dispersed_5

"He had already released him, so a little delay won’t make a difference."

"Let it fly slower then."

At that very moment, State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao ordered Meng Yanhui, "Leave an image as evidence."

At the same time, State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao sent a Starlight Transmission to both the Qian’an Emperor and the Tianyang Star Lord.

"[Your Majesty, Hu Zhen has been released; I shall return shortly.]"

"[Excellent! You’ve worked hard, State Preceptor.]"

"[Tianyang Star Lord, Hu Zhen has been released, as per your wishes; I shall return shortly.]"

"[Ha ha ha ha! State Preceptor Cheng is always straightforward. I am waiting for the State Preceptor to come over for tea at the Imperial Palace.]" The Starlight Transmission from Tianyang Star Lord came immediately.

In truth, he already knew.

The moment Cheng Yuxiao released Hu Zhen, he already knew.

The Third Elder, Qin Da, had reported to him at the first instance.

Thus, Tianyang Star Lord could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Hu Zhen was someone who must be protected.

Otherwise, who would do all the dirty work for him?

In the sky, the severely injured Hu Zhen, his Primordial Spirit, was flying towards the direction of the people at Tianyang Star Hall at an extremely slow rate—the distance wasn’t too far.

Just over ten miles.

On a normal day, he would have reached in a single breath.

But today, with his severe injuries, it would probably take him over a hundred breaths to make it.

But at least he was returning alive.

He had plenty of ways to get back at the Chengs and Dachen in the future.

In Shilong County City, Xu Jin stood still amidst thick pools of blood, watching the slowly flying Hu Zhen Primordial Spirit above city, and felt an overwhelming urge to vomit blood from frustration!

Why do the wicked not suffer reprisal!

At that moment, Xu Jin recalled a saying from his past life—since villains face no reprisal, then let me be the one to deliver it!

But the problem was, he, Xu Jin, couldn’t just kill Hu Zhen so openly.

Wouldn’t that create trouble for the State Preceptor?

Besides, if Hu Zhen were killed, Xu Jin himself probably wouldn’t survive...

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Xu Jin.

He thought of many things.

Hadn’t the State Preceptor just said that it would be okay as long as Hu Zhen wasn’t killed by hands from Dachen?

It seemed possible!

All of a sudden, Xu Jin had an idea.

This idea, once formed, surged like a flood in his mind, causing Xu Jin’s heart rate to shoot up dramatically!

The most crucial issue, identity!

All of a sudden, Xu Jin considered another possibility.

In a blink, Xu Jin ran through all possibilities in his mind.

Quickly revisited them!

It might just work!

There was one last thing!

"[State Preceptor, if Hu Zhen were to be killed now, would that trouble you?]"

Xu Jin felt it better to ask.

"[I’ve released him, if he gets killed, as long as it’s not by my Dachen experts, what has it to do with me or Dachen?]"

State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao coldly sneered and replied to Xu Jin.

The next moment, State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao suddenly realized.

Why would Xu Jin ask that?

But then he thought, even if Xu Jin asked that, there’s nothing he could really do, right?

Isn’t Xu Jin still at the National Daoist School!

Inside Shilong County, Xu Jin once again ran through the plan that had just emerged in his mind.

Making final preparations.

His left hand grasped the Star-picking Order.

One thought was already submerged in the Fourth Tier Star Artifact, the Chaotic Star Pendant.

Another thought had already sunk into the Candou Platform.

Then, watching as Hu Zhen’s Primordial Spirit slowly flew above Shilong County.

It drew closer!

Nearing Xu Jin.

Without a sound, Xu Jin slightly shifted direction, moving to the path directly beneath where Hu Zhen’s Primordial Spirit would pass overhead.

Seven or eight breaths later, Hu Zhen flew right above Xu Jin.

Straight overhead.

Xu Jin was less than a hundred meters away.

In the next instant, Xu Jin took a deep breath.

Without hesitation, Xu Jin shot into the sky.

Just a hundred meters, needing only to break through fifty meters.

Fifty meters, for Xu Jin now, was merely a fleeting moment.

At the moment of his breakout, an overwhelming Divine Soul fluctuation surged, armed with Breaking Evil and Intent Illusion!

Instantly exploding forth!

Hu Zhen never expected, even at this moment under the watch of two Eighth Tier experts, someone dared to launch a sneak attack on him!

He never imagined someone in Shilong County still wanted him dead!

It was too unexpected!

Too sudden!

Moreover, his Primordial Spirit was already on the brink of collapse!

With a single move of Breaking Evil and Intent Illusion, Hu Zhen’s Primordial Spirit drastically fluctuated, dazed for that brief moment!

At that very moment, a purple Thunder Light furiously poured down on Hu Zhen!

In an instant, the mighty Purple Thunder submerged Hu Zhen’s Primordial Spirit!

Like hot soup poured on snow, the Purple Thunder quickly melted Hu Zhen’s Primordial Spirit.

In just an instant, amidst Hu Zhen’s screams, half of his Primordial Spirit had dissolved, rapidly disintegrating.

But Xu Jin, fearing it wasn’t enough, executed another Purple Thunder Bomb!

All this happened in a flash.

Third Elder Qin Da from Tianyang Star Hall was dumbfounded.

He hadn’t foreseen such an outcome.

In the next moment, Qin Da made his move.

Down in Shilong County, Xu Jin’s figure, attacking Hu Zhen’s Primordial Spirit, surged with intense fluctuations of Star Power and Divine Soul.

Especially the rising Purple Thunder above his head stood out among the ordinary people like a crane amid chickens.

"How dare you!"

With a roar, Qin Da charged towards Xu Jin like an arrow!

He was intent on capturing the assassin!

At the same moment, Cheng Yuxiao was also flabbergasted!

He couldn’t react at all!

Almost simultaneously, the assassin, aglow with Thunder Light, vanished before everyone’s eyes!

Invisibility!

True and genuine Invisibility Technique!

This was an exclusive skill of the Lingji Star Hall!

"Not good, it’s the Lingji remnants!" someone from Tianyang Star Hall shouted out!

Tianyang Star Hall had been hunting the Lingji remnants for twenty years, they were very clear on this!

Thus, they reached conclusions fastest!

And just as the invisibility faded, Xu Jin instantly activated the Chaotic Star Skill from the Chaotic Star Pendant!

With a flash of Starlight!

Xu Jin, who had just vanished, suddenly reappeared, then disappeared again!

Chaotic Star!

Vanished again!

The assassin had disappeared again!

Next second, Qin Da reached the spot where Xu Jin had disappeared, catching only air.

Furious, but then he heard Hu Zhen’s final scream.

"Save..."

Before the word was completed, the lingering Thunder Light blasted Hu Zhen’s last wisp of Primordial Spirit into oblivion!

Hu Zhen’s Primordial Spirit, utterly scattered!

Completely vanished!

The people from Dachen National Daoist School, including State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao, were stunned by this scene!

Hu Zhen had been killed just like that!

Killed by a Lingji remnant! freewebnσvel.cѳm

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Cheng Yuxiao burst into loud laughter.

Laughing heartily, utterly thrilled!

He couldn’t help but recall another phrase.

Evil begets evil, let’s see whom heaven spares!
