"Chu Ze, two inches and two tenths at the Central Star Palace Star Casting, one inch and nine tenths at the Lower Star Palace Star Casting," he encountered four Star Refining Realm Red Scale Clan warriors and had no choice but to return; his highest cultivation level was Fourth Layer in the Star Refining Realm."

"Ying Ge, two inches and two tenths at the Central Star Palace Star Casting, two inches at the Lower Star Palace Star Casting," he encountered three Star Refining Realm Red Scale Clan warriors and had no choice but to return; his highest cultivation level was Fifth Layer in the Star Refining Realm."

"Guan Li, two inches and two tenths at the Central Star Palace Star Casting, two inches at the Lower Star Palace Star Casting," he encountered five Star Refining Realm Red Scale Clan warriors and had no choice but to return; his highest cultivation level was Fourth Layer in the Star Refining Realm."

"Ji Hongli, two inches and three tenths at the Central Star Palace Star Casting, two inches and one tenth at the Lower Star Palace Star Casting," he encountered four Star Refining Realm Red Scale Clan warriors and had no choice but to return; his highest cultivation level was Fifth Layer in the Star Refining Realm."

In the entire Second-tier Fire Radiant Star Domain, there are still five True Disciples whose fates are unknown; it is nearly twenty-four hours already.

Another two hours passed, and Yuan Feiqing and Yan Chen both fell back.

Yuan Feiqing and Yan Chen both achieved two inches and three tenths at the Central Star Palace Star Casting, two inches and one tenth at the Lower Star Palace Star Casting, but after cultivating in the Fire Radiant Star Domain for a while, their cultivation levels had already broken through to the middle period of the Star Casting Realm.

In the twenty-sixth hour since the opening of the Fire Radiant Star Domain, Lv Kun returned reluctantly, and intelligence was laid out before them.

"Lv Kun, two inches and three tenths at the Central Star Palace Star Casting, two inches and one tenth at the Lower Star Palace Star Casting," he encountered three Star Refining Realm Red Scale Clan warriors, the strongest of which was Sixth Layer in the Star Refining Realm; Lv Kun returned with heavy injuries!"

This intelligence made the high ranks of the National Taoist Institute in Dachen extremely anxious.

It’s been barely two days, and already Red Scale Clan warriors of the Sixth Layer appeared; does that mean there are already Red Scale Clan members at the Seventh Layer?

Keep in mind, the Domain Master of the Fire Radiant Star Domain under the control of the National Taoist Institute is just in the Ninth Layer.

If Red Scale Clan warriors of the Seventh and Eighth Layer appear, it means there’s a threat to the position of the Domain Master.

If things go wrong, the National Taoist Institute in Dachen might even lose control of this Second-tier Fire Radiant Star Domain.

The loss would be too devastating.

"Now, only Xu Jin and Meng Qingqiu are still out there; we’ll see what kind of intelligence they can bring back," Academician Fang Shihan said with anxiety.

The Da Chen National Daoist School sending True Disciples into the Second-tier Star Domain to Star Cast and forge better Star Cores is only the most basic purpose; more importantly, they need to gather intelligence about the Fire Radiant Star Domain and carry out a certain level of cleansing.

In the twenty-seventh hour of the opening of the Fire Radiant Star Domain, the name of the eldest senior sister, Meng Qingqiu, disappeared; Meng Qingqiu returned.

Very quickly, a very detailed intelligence report appeared before the high-level members of the National Taoist Institute in Dachen.

"Meng Qingqiu, two inches and three tenths at the Central Star Palace Star Casting, two inches and two tenths at the Lower Star Palace Star Casting," she encountered four Red Scale Clan Star Refining Realm warriors, among which there were one Sixth Layer, one Fifth Layer, and two Third Layers; Meng Qingqiu returned with minor injuries."

Below the brief, there was more detailed intelligence, including their geographic locations.

"We can confirm that Meng Qingqiu must have been near Gray Mountain in the Fire Radiant Star Domain, while Lv Kun must have been near Red Fire Gorge in the Fire Radiant Star Domain; the two are eight hundred miles apart, and even for someone at the Sixth Layer, it’s impossible to reach within two hours.

We can be certain that the Sixth Layer opponents they encountered are not the same.

Now, what we can be sure of is that, within the Fire Radiant Star Domain, there are at least two individuals at the Sixth Layer! Based on past experience, if they can deploy Sixth Layer warriors, then there must definitely be commanders at the Seventh and Eighth Layer behind them!"

Suddenly, Academician Fang Shihan looked up sharply and turned toward the spectral image of State Preceptor Cheng Yue Xiao, "We must ask the State Preceptor to make a decision now; otherwise, we might not need to wait until next year, as there’s a possibility of losing the Fire Radiant Star Domain."

As he spoke, a streak of starlight flew toward the spectral image of State Preceptor Cheng Yue Xiao.

Ten breaths after the starlight touched it, the figure of State Preceptor Cheng Yue Xiao in the Autumn Examination Secret Realm solidified from a specter into reality.

"Hmm, what’s the matter?"

Fang Shihan quickly presented all the intelligence and his thoughts to State Preceptor Cheng Yue Xiao.

"Problems in the Fire Radiant Star Domain? Wait a moment!"

The next instant, the State Preceptor took out a red token and, with a slight effort, a spectral image of a Red Scale Warrior appeared before State Preceptor Cheng Yue Xiao.

The presence of the warrior, at the Peak of the Ninth Layer Star Refining Realm, was indeed powerful, but it was not impressive in front of the senior leaders of the National Daoist Institute in Dachen.

And the moment it saw that it was State Preceptor Cheng Yue Xiao, it immediately showed a look of fear and prostrated itself on the ground, "Greetings, State Preceptor; may I know why you have summoned your servant? All supplies for this year have been delivered two months ago, as requested!"

The Red Scale Clan Domain Master trembled all over as he said this!

"Chi You, how many warriors in your clan are at the Sixth and Seventh Layer?"

"Replying to the State Preceptor, there should be two to three at the Sixth Layer, and at most, one at the Seventh Layer," the Domain Master of the Red Scale Clan said prostrated.

"Should be?" State Preceptor Cheng Yue Xiao scoffed.

The next moment, Lord of Red Scale Chi You began trembling even in his voice, "Replying to the State Preceptor, as you know, all of them are scolding me, and rebellions break out year after year in various departments. My control over them is limited.

I plead for the State Preceptor to dispatch troops into our domain, to pacify and quell the unrest."

"Alright, I understand."

With a wave of his hand, National Master Cheng Yue Xiao released the Divine Soul of Chi You, the Domain Master of the Fire Radiant Star Domain, then looked at everyone with a grave expression.

"Your judgment is correct, this Fire Radiant Star Domain has reached the moment when it must be cleansed. Left Libationer, how many disciples can be assembled for the sweeping mission now?" Cheng Yue Xiao asked.

"State Preceptor, there are forty-three disciples at the Peak of Star Casting Realm who can enter at any time! However, if there are those of the Star Refining Seventh Layer and above, they would also find it difficult to deal with!" Meng Yanhui said.

"Moreover, the disciples will have to face not only the Star Refining Seventh Layer but also possibly the Star Refining Eighth Layer of the Red Scale Clan.

The Red Scale Clan of Star Refining Eighth Layer, even if these disciples at the Peak of Star Casting Realm team up in threes, they are not their match!" Fang Shihan said.

Cheng Yue Xiao suddenly turned to look at Chu Xuan, the Hall Master of the Foreign Affairs Hall, "How many top-grade Second-tier Emblems are currently in reserve?"

The most difficult part of subjugating a Star Domain was actually right here.

Originally, for the Red Scale Clan of Star Refining Late Period, a Third-tier or Fourth-tier Emblem would have easily dealt with them.

But the problem was, they couldn’t be brought in.

"Replying to the State Preceptor, there is currently a reserve of one thousand and forty-five top-grade Second-tier Emblems," Hall Master of Foreign Affairs Hall, Chu Xuan said.

"Is that about right?" Cheng Yue Xiao looked towards Fang Shihan.

"About right, but there may be casualties among the disciples!"

"In war, how can there not be losses!" Cheng Yue Xiao looked at Meng Yanhui, "How long will it take for the disciples at the Peak of Star Casting Realm who are going to war to assemble?"

"Five two-hour periods!"

"Good, then in five two-hour periods, give all the top-grade Second-tier Emblems to them. At the same time, set the battle plan, battle rewards.

After five two-hour periods, let them enter the Fire Radiant Star Domain and carry out the sweeping mission!" Cheng Yue Xiao ordered.

"Yes!"

At the same time, someone looked at the last name still present in the light cluster in the sky: Xu Jin.

"State Preceptor, this True Disciple..."

"After five two-hour periods, if he can still hold on, then give him the task instructions as well! Let him carry out the mission with them.

If he can hold on for so long, I believe that his combat power is already no worse than that of an average expert at the Peak of Star Casting," Cheng Yue Xiao said.

"Good!"

Immediately, the senior officials of the Da Chen National Daoist School all departed, resembling a war machine that had been set in motion, thundering into operation.

And within the Autumn Examination Secret Realm, Ning Yuchan and Dong Zhao, looking at Xu Jin who still remained in the Second-tier Fire Radiant Star Domain, felt somewhat worried.

Especially Dong Zhao, with furrowed brows!

He instinctively had a sense of unease.

******

Inside the Red Scale Royal Palace of the Fire Radiant Star Domain, Chi Gu, the Lord of Red Scale who had just had his Divine Soul returned, suddenly changed his demeanor.

The previous servile and obsequious attitude vanished in an instant.

In front of him, two experts of Star Refining Eighth Layer also appeared.

"My lord, is everything all right?"

Chi You paced back and forth a few steps, his brow tightly furrowed, as if he was hesitating about something.

After a long while, he suddenly seemed to make a decision, "I can confirm, the people of Chen Country have already started to have doubts, they are already preparing for a cleansing operation!

The warriors of Dachen should be descending upon us very soon!"

"My lord, then shall we..." One of the Star Refining Eighth Layer experts, Chi Mu, showed distress on his face.

"No!"

Before Chi Mu could finish, Chi You interrupted him, "We’ve been enslaved for eight years, we cannot wait any longer! The people of Chen Country are becoming more and more vigilant towards us!

Pass down my order, immediately command all the divisions according to the previous plan, and take action ahead of schedule!"

In an instant, all of Chi You’s subordinates were overjoyed!

These stifling days were finally coming to an end!
