"This escape from the Big Array would nullify all previous efforts!"
"If the breakthrough fails, his value..."
"But the problem is, without killing Xu Jin, he can’t breakthrough."
As Chu Zheng hesitated, the Seventh Tier Second Layer eunuch he had previously sent out suddenly transformed into Starlight and descended before him, saluting, "Grand Steward, no expert of Seventh Tier or higher has been detected in the vicinity."
Previously, Chu Zheng had dispatched this man to scout.
Two objectives, one was to scout, the other to lure the enemy.
If Cheng Yuxiao really came, he would first encounter this Seventh Tier eunuch, who could then take the chance to escape!
Now, it seemed Cheng Yuxiao had not caught on, and instead, it was Xu Jin who had the misfortune of barging in.
"Go, kill Xu Jin! Be cautious; he has Sixth Tier emblems," Chu Zheng grimly ordered.
The moment the Seventh Tier Second Layer eunuch received the order, Chu Zheng’s Star-picking Order suddenly started flashing.
This made Chu Zheng’s expression change drastically because he knew exactly what it meant.
His thoughts sank into it, only to find a Starlight Transmission from the Qian’an Emperor.
There were two messages in the Starlight Transmission.
"How’s the situation? Have you made your breakthrough yet, how is Prince Xin? Cheng Yuxiao might have gone over, withdraw now."
Reading the latter half of the Starlight Transmission, Chu Zheng felt a chill envelop his body!
On the other side of the canyon, just as Xu Jin, who had just crushed the Fourth Prince Prince Xin, was nervously slaying several Fourth Tier who rushed at him like madmen, his expression was extremely tense.
His thoughts were heavy on the Chaotic Star Pendant, his hand clutching a nourished Sixth Tier Upper emblem.
Ready to flee at any moment.
If Chu Zheng approached to attack, Xu Jin planned to use two Sixth Tier emblems to fend off the enemy before escaping with the Chaotic Star Skill!
Two nourished Sixth Tier Upper emblems should stall Chu Zheng long enough for him to make an escape.
By now, Xu Jin had calmed down and had a plan.
Once he escaped, he would definitely find a way to notify the State Preceptor.
Since the Star-Picking Tower in Yangjiang County was sealed, the one in Pill State likely wasn’t.
Frequented often, Pill State’s Star-Picking Tower was used frequently. If it were sealed, the National Taoist Institute would find out immediately.
Just then, Xu Jin saw the Seventh Tier Second Layer eunuch charging towards him.
If there was only one enemy, Xu Jin might have drawn upon all his skills to engage this Seventh Tier Second Layer in combat!
With so many nourished Sixth Tier emblems and various Sixth Tier Star Techniques and the powerful Star Skills provided by the Eighth Tier Star Pattern, Xu Jin didn’t believe he couldn’t grind him down!
But now, there were too many enemies.
Apart from Xu Jin, everyone else was an enemy.
If he got entangled with this Seventh Tier Second Layer eunuch, just one Fifth Tier sneaking an attack could end him.
Thus, the moment he saw the Seventh Tier Second Layer eunuch coming toward him, Xu Jin made a decision.
Better to flee in respect!
The next instant, Xu Jin was ready to unleash the nourished Sixth Tier Upper emblem to fend off the enemy, then trigger the Chaotic Star Skill to escape and use Invisibility and Stealth.
He had already planned every step.
But at that very instant, Xu Jin’s Star-picking Order suddenly blinked rapidly.
It flashed three times in quick succession.
Xu Jin’s expression turned to one of ecstatic joy.
A Starlight Transmission through the Star-picking Order meant the seal at the Star-Picking Tower of Yangjiang County might have been lifted!
He could reconnect with the outside world.
He could signal the State Preceptor.
At the moment his thoughts sunk in, he saw a Starlight Transmission from the State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao.
"Are you still alive? If you are and in danger, use the Small Star Shifting Emblem immediately!"
Just one glance and Xu Jin understood.
He understood everything!
The State Preceptor had come!
And was within a thousand miles.
The next instant, Xu Jin directly took out the Small Star Shifting Emblem from the Sumeru Space, and the moment he fetched it, he detonated it instantly!
Almost simultaneously, a tremendous spatial fluctuation suddenly arose.
The Seventh Tier Second Layer eunuch, who had closed in to within two to three hundred meters, already about to go all out in his attack on Xu Jin, found it strange why Xu Jin neither ran nor hid!
Nonetheless, he no longer cared.
Once the Grand Steward had issued the order, he must carry it out!
Suddenly, a fierce spatial fluctuation arose, and a figure condensed beside Xu Jin.
In an instant, as the Seventh Tier Second Layer eunuch was just about to make his full-strength attack, his expression suddenly turned to one of terror.
"National ..... National Master!"
The State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao appeared instantly.
With just one look, State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao immediately speculated, his mind throbbing loudly, and anger uncontrollably surged skyward.
A palm strike was unleashed!
The Seventh Tier Second Layer eunuch tried to run.
But in the moment of turning, a cyan radiance instantly coiled around him, followed by a blast of Flame Light pounding down, then piercing through his body, directly splitting him into countless fragments, the vigorous Flame Light once again incinerating the Seventh Tier Second Layer eunuch into nothingness!
Firstly, the National Master struck in anger.
Secondly, the Seventh Tier Second Layer eunuch, upon seeing the National Master appear, was terrified to his core, turned to flee, and offered no resistance, creating such a miraculous effect!
Within the Ten Thousand Spirit Divine Blood Array canyon, just after replying to a message from Qian’an Emperor, the Chief of the Imperial Court Chu Zheng, originally intending to flee after responding, hadn’t expected State Preceptor Cheng Yue Xiao to arrive so quickly!
Without hesitation, Chu Zheng sprang from the Ten Thousand Spirit Divine Blood Array to escape!
The booming sound of the Nine Bright Chime rang out instantly.
"How dare you, eunuch!"
Accompanied by State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao’s furious roar, Nine Bright Chime emitted four-coloured starlight, shooting straight like a meteor directly striking the fleeing Chief of the Imperial Court Chu Zheng!
Cheng Yuxiao struck with full force.
But Chu Zheng was not like that Seventh Tier Second Layer eunuch; he was fully prepared!
In the instant of escape, he implemented full defense, a Sixth Tier Star Device appeared behind him!
However, the next moment, the meteor-like four-coloured starlight from the Nine Bright Chime smashed through Chu Zheng’s Sixth Tier Star Device and defenses effortlessly.
A second four-colored meteor followed, directly shattering Chu Zheng’s flesh.
Only Chu Zheng’s head remained, instantly stunned!
When did the National Master become so powerful?
He, a Seventh Rank Ninth Layer Peak, couldn’t withstand two moves under the National Master’s hand?
The next instant, a large four-colored hand captured Chu Zheng’s head!
The terror in Chu Zheng’s eyes instantly turned to despair!
