Chapter 264: Chapter 136: New Refuge and Return (Request for Monthly Tickets)_4

Originally, Second-tier Top-Grade Emblems sold for just three thousand taels each, but now, they’ve been speculated up to two thousand taels of Gold each, more expensive than even the Third-tier Top-Grade Emblems!

In the market, all sorts of items and methods that could enhance the strength of someone in the Star Casting Realm had been hyped up to sky-high prices.

Those guys had already invested a fortune.

If they suddenly announced that the rebellion had been quelled and the Fire Radiant Star Domain had been reconquered, wouldn’t those people hate Xu Jin to death?"

"It’s not right, they should hate me!" the State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao said.

"State Preceptor, you really are out of touch with the secular world!" Meng Yanhui grimaced with a bitter smile, "How would they dare to hate you, and even if they did, they wouldn’t dare to show any dissatisfaction.

But they can hate Xu Jin!"

The State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao pondered for a long time, "It seems I need to protect the boy."

"So, your idea to let him take control of the Fire Radiant Star Domain, does that still stand?"

"It stands!"

These two words were said with absolute determination by the State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao, "If even the true heroes who risked life and limb to conquer the Fire Radiant Star Domain have to live in fear and hand over their hard-won fruits to others, then this Dachen has truly rotted to the core!

I might as well not be the State Preceptor at all!"

Upon hearing this, the Left Libationer Meng Yanhui silently stood up, and with a face full of respect, he clasped his fists and bowed to the State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao before leaving.

Fifteen minutes later, upon returning home, Left Libationer Meng Yanhui immediately instructed his son Meng Ji, "Sell all the Second-tier Top-Grade Star Weapons, Second-tier top-grade, Top-Grade Emblems, and other Cultivation resources for enhancing strength in the Star Casting Realm, and do it quickly."

"Father, we had everything prepared perfectly, why all of a sudden?" Meng Ji asked in surprise.

"Just do as I say."

Meng Ji thought for a moment, then bowed and accepted the command, "May I ask, Father, should we inform our in-laws?"

"We owe the Ji Family a favor, and the Yuan Family has been quite supportive these past years. Once we’ve almost finished selling off, you can send someone to give them a heads up. Whether they believe it or not, that’s their business," said Meng Yanhui.

"Yes."

******

Inside the Fire Radiant Star Domain.

Looking at the Young Clan Chief of the Fire Elephant Tribe, Chi Xiang, who was kneeling before him, Xu Jin directly said, "Chi Xiang, I am willing to support you as the new king of the Red Scale Tribe, to take over the Red Scale Royal Court and become the new Lord of Red Scale. Do you accept?"

Timid and slightly capable, this Chi Xiang, who had previously been captured by him, couldn’t be more suitable.

Upon hearing this, Chi Xiang was shocked; his first reaction was not joy, but fear.

He kowtowed frantically, "Divine Envoy, please spare me! With my modest strength, how could I be king? Even with the help of the Divine Envoy, as soon as you leave, I would have no place to be buried."

"And what if I were to say that you are now the strongest in the entire Fire Radiant Star Domain, the only Expert of the Star Refining Realm?"

"Ah? That’s impossible!"

"All other Experts from your Red Scale Clan in the Star Refining Realm, including most in the late tiers of Star Casting, have already been killed by me!"

With this declaration, Chi Xiang was so scared that he sat down with a thud, not daring to look Xu Jin straight in the eye, only sneaking peeks.

"I will also grant you a set of First Tier Top-Grade Star Weapons from Dachen. With your strength, you could easily sweep through the entire Red Scale Tribe!"

After a long while, Chi Xiang finally came to his senses, "Divine Envoy, is this... really true?"

"True!"

Xu Jin gave Chi Xiang the First Tier Star Weapons he had confiscated from Chi Meng and Chi You, "However, since I’m going to entrust the Fire Radiant Star Domain to you,

from now on, you must follow my orders completely!

Also, I am going to refine your Divine Soul for control. Do you agree?"

Xu Jin spoke so bluntly, how could Chi Xiang dare not agree?

Chi Xiang was not stupid!

He was sure that if he dared to say he was unwilling, in the next moment, he would become a corpse!

With this set of top-grade First Tier Star Weapons, even if they were to support someone at the late period of the Star Casting Realm, they could once again unify the entire Red Scale Tribe.

"Then go, you first go and gather the remnants of your Fire Elephant Tribe, and if there are any who don’t heed your call, execute them directly! If there’s anyone you can’t kill, tell me, or use this piece of Red Scale Heart Armor to inform me!"

Xu Jin threw a piece of refined Red Scale Heart Armor to Chi Xiang!

Afterwards, he took out the Red Scale Heart, pressed it against Chi Xiang’s forehead, drew out ten drops of blood from Chi Xiang’s heart, and in accordance with the method taught by the State Preceptor, extracted the soul!

Ten minutes later, Chi Xiang suddenly let out a terrible scream, clutching his head and rolling on the ground, it took a full fifteen minutes before he began to improve.

Anyone whose Divine Soul was directly pulled away like this would react likewise.

It was only because he’s a cultivator, had he been an ordinary person, death on the spot might have been possible.

"Divine Envoy, I will definitely unify the Red Scale Tribe as soon as possible!"

An hour later, having recovered, Chi Xiang, adorned in a complete set of First Tier Star Weapons, swiftly departed.

In the following four days, Xu Jin cultivated while secretly helping Chi Xiang unify the entire Fire Radiant Star Domain.

In fact, Xu Jin didn’t have to take action many times.

It was only on the second day that he came across a Young Clan Chief from the Fire Armor Tribe, a Peak of Star Casting Realm survivor who gathered over twenty Star Casting cultivators, also hoping to unify the Red Scale Tribe.

And then, there was no "and then."

Over the course of one night, this Young Clan Chief of the Fire Armor Tribe and his followers all turned into corpses!

Chi Xiang, wearing a full set of First Tier Star Weapons, now had the power to sweep across the entire Fire Radiant Star Domain.

In the first two days, he pacified and unified three tribes, and by the third day, the other tribes simply surrendered.

There was no helping it, as by now, the Fire Radiant Star Domain, wiped out by Xu Jin, was left with only Chi Xiang in the Star Refining Realm, with very few left even at the Peak of the Star Casting Realm.

Most importantly, the Red Scale Clan was currently in a state of panic, in urgent need of a strong figure to stabilize morale.

Chi Xiang seemed destined to emerge!

Now proclaimed by the Red Scale Clan as the Red Scale Divine Elephant!

Now, this newly enthroned King of the Red Scale Clan, this Red Scale Divine Elephant, was kneeling before Xu Jin.

"Divine Envoy, all the treasures from the Royal Court Secret Vault have been gathered: twenty-seven Fourth Tier Star Jades, one hundred and eight Third Tier Star Jades, three hundred and ninety-five Second-tier Star Jades, and more than a thousand catties of Star Fallen Iron," Chi Xiang reported.

"Mhm," Xu Jin nodded, with a casual wave of his hand, the Fourth Tier Star Jades and Third Tier Star Jades vanished, "Have you remembered what I told you to do?"

"I remember, to immediately organize the tribe to resume production, mine Star Jades and Star Fallen Iron, and deliver the fixed amount every three months!"

"Besides that, control the number of Star Refining experts within the tribe, do not allow any breakthroughs unless they’re trusted..."

Kneeling on the ground, Chi Xiang, the Lord of Red Scale, recited seven instructions in a row before Xu Jin finally nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright, I hope you will obey well and not follow the old path of Chi You! I am leaving. Take care of yourself!" Xu Jin said.

The task of unifying the Fire Radiant Star Domain had been completed, much more easily and quickly than Xu Jin had imagined, and this puppet had been very successfully supported.

Now, Xu Jin’s Mingji Star Core in the Lower Star Palace had also broken through to the Peak of the Star Casting Realm, and his Cultivation Level could no longer be improved.

It was time to go back!

Hearing this, Chi Xiang bowed his head to the ground, "Your subordinate sees off the Divine Envoy!"

"Hmm!"

With a cold snort, Xu Jin activated both the Red Scale Heart and the Star-picking Order, and in the next instant, Xu Jin disappeared!

A full fifteen minutes after Xu Jin vanished, the newly appointed Lord of Red Scale, Chi Xiang, dared to lift his head, and only when he was sure that the god of death, Xu Jin, had really left, did he reveal an ecstatic expression!

The good days of his rule as the new King were finally coming!

Choosing consorts!

That must come first!
