At the same time, Xu Jin had another matter to assign to Yang Miaozhen.
Yang Miaozhen’s main cultivation was in Wind Series Star Skill but she also practiced Earth Series. Xu Jin asked Yang Miaozhen to help the Leopard Tail Queen by selecting clan members to learn the Earth Origin Star Pattern and see if the cultivators of the Fire Cloud Star Domain could quickly cultivate new practitioners in the Earth Series.
If successful, they could impart a portion of the Earth Series related Star Patterns below the Fourth Tier to enhance their combat power.
The Star Patterns below the Fourth Tier fell into the category of low-tier Star Patterns and were permissible to impart.
Although Yang Miaozhen did not understand why Xu Jin wanted to do this, she agreed without hesitation.
A dozen or so breaths later, Xu Jin took out the Time Measuring Jade given by Dai Guanwen, found the direction of the temporary star gate, and was about to leave.
But just as Xu Jin was about to leave, the Heaven and Earth Authority of the Fire Cloud Star Domain, which he had refined, suddenly trembled ten times.
The moment his thoughts delved into it, Xu Jin’s brows knitted together.
Within the sensations of the Fire Cloud Star Domain’s Heaven and Earth Authority, there suddenly appeared ten extremely repelling auras.
Were they from other Star Domains?
Or reinforcements sent by Dachen?
Or could it be other present-day forces sending people?
Xu Jin first ruled out the possibility of Dachen sending reinforcements.
That was highly improbable.
During the Lougong Battle, the State Preceptor would unlikely violate the rules of the battle and send so many people as reinforcements.
That left the invasion by other Star Domains and the interference of other present-day forces as possible explanations.
Neither of these possibilities was something Xu Jin wanted to see.
Xu Jin now controlled fifty percent of the Fire Cloud Star Domain’s Heaven and Earth Authority, making him the Authority Holder of the Domain and was about to fully conquer a Fourth-tier Star Domain, with the future possibility of even upgrading its rank.
He must deal with the situation.
Xu Jin at least needed to understand who these people were and where they came from.
It wouldn’t take much time.
The next instant, Xu Jin stepped on the stars and swiftly flew in the direction of the sensation, as fast as a meteor.
This was another benefit of controlling the Heaven and Earth Authority.
After gaining control of over thirty percent of a Star Domain’s Heaven and Earth Authority, one can use it to augment their power, especially speed.
With fifty percent of the Heaven and Earth Authority boosting him, Xu Jin’s speed more than doubled.
What would have taken half an hour, took Xu Jin only fifteen minutes to find his first target.
As he drew near, Xu Jin went invisible.
Using the sensing and observation skills from the Mingji Star Pattern, he soon made a discovery.
The individual was indeed from the present-day Human Race.
Their Cultivation Level was at the Fourth-order Ninth Layer Peak.
Their Divine Soul Cultivation just barely reached the Third Layer of Refining Star.
The garb was something Xu Jin had never seen before, at least not in Dachen.
Their affiliation and purpose were indiscernible.
But this matter was simple.
A few breaths after approaching invisibly, Xu Jin showed himself and halted the man. As the man looked on in surprise, Xu Jin immediately cast Warm Dream.
The man fell into a deep slumber in the blink of an eye.
Xu Jin began his interrogation.
But the more he interrogated, the grimmer Xu Jin’s expression became.
The results of the interrogation were worse than he had imagined.
This man was an elite under the command of Marquis Yangdu Chai Ce from the Da Chen Battle Zone in the Galaxy Battlefield, named Qian Shaowei.
On the command of Marquis Yangdu, he entered the Fire Cloud Star Domain through a star gate in the Galaxy Battlefield.
His only goal was to locate the elite of the Da Chen National Daoist School within the Fire Cloud Star Domain, retrieve the lost Military Command Seal, and to kill all resistors without mercy.
At first, Xu Jin did not understand this order.
The lost Military Command Seal?
How could it end up in the Fire Cloud Star Domain?
Even if someone was drunk, they couldn’t throw it there, and as for others, to steal a Military Command Seal and then run off to the Fire Cloud Star Domain... wouldn’t that be foolish?
Upon reflecting for a while, Xu Jin realized the significance.
The mission of these elites centered on the Seal, not the Military Command Seal per se.
The so-called Military Command Seal was just a pretense.
The keyword was Seal.
Within all of Fire Cloud Star Domain, there was only one thing related to the Seal.
The Star Official Seal.
The Star Official Seal that Xu Jin had acquired after killing Zhu Wenhai.
Xu Jin had not yet had the chance to study it, but now people were already coming to find it.
It seemed that this object was very valuable, at least for the party that had lost it; it was extremely important.
Because this Qian Shaowei’s group consisted of ten people, all with the uniform mission target.
At the same time, there was another vital piece of information: Marquis Yangdu had given them a keepsake, instructing them to coordinate with the Grand Governor Feng Zhi from the Wind Spirit Leopard Tail Clan within the Fourth-tier Star Domain.
Xu Jin’s expression grew exceedingly somber.
Firstly, Marquis Yangdu was colluding with Grand Governor Feng Zhi within the Fourth-tier Star Domain.
Secondly, it was highly likely that Marquis Yangdu was in cahoots with the Baidou Divine Sect.
Xu Jin recalled the last time he rescued his sister Jiang’er and found the Baidou Divine Sect’s lair located on the secluded island belonging to Marquis Yangdu’s territory.
Back then, he thought it was a coincidence.
It was Marquis Yangdu’s negligence.
But now, it was clearly no coincidence.
With Marquis Yangdu and Baidou Divine Sect colluding for a long time, it became quite ordinary for the sect to set up their branch lair on Marquis Yangdu’s fiefdom.
Xu Jin’s eyes were filled with coldness, having never imagined that the mastermind behind his sister Jiang’er’s near-death experience would be Marquis Yangdu Chai Ce.
Xu Jin looked at the captive Qian Shaowei, considering whether to bring him back as a witness?
Or to get a confession and then execute him?
Marquis Yangdu was one of the Three Kings and Seven Marquis of Dachen, wielding heavy troops in the Galaxy Battlefield, with a Cultivation Level as high as the Seventh-Tier Peak.
