Chapter 338: Chapter 159 Like the Thunder Pool (Seeking Subscriptions)_3

"Just one more time, none of you will escape. I will cleanse all of you!" Cheng Yuxiao proclaimed.

Everyone from the Royal Mansion, each sub-official knelt to the ground, trembling fiercely, none daring to speak.

"Tell Prince Xin to apologize to the True Inheritor himself and make sure he is satisfied.

Tell Prince Xin that if a single family member of my true disciple encounters trouble, I will take one of his arms!"

"Yes, I will relay the message to His Highness right away," the mansion’s Changshi said with a trembling voice.

"Moreover, if a single family member of Wu Gui is missing during the exile, the replacement will come from among you sub-officials!

For every missing one, one of you will replace them; for two missing, two will replace them!

I will supervise this personally!"

Having said this, National Master Cheng Yuxiao rose into the sky and vanished in an instant.

After a long while, the long-standing officials of Prince Xin’s Mansion, including the Military Adviser and others, slowly stood up. They looked at Wu Gui’s corpse, then at the housekeeper’s corpse, and upon contemplating the tragic fate of Housekeeper Wu’s family, the Military Adviser suddenly said, "Too ruthless!

The State Preceptor is too ruthless!

Prince Xin is only..."

"Shut up!"

The Changshi glared fiercely at the Military Adviser and then, with a heart still pounding, glanced at the sky before struggling to rise and said, "Send a message to His Highness. The State Preceptor is gone, and the situation is resolved!" He then gazed into the sky, lost in thought.

This was a test, as well as a probing!

Not just a probing by Prince Xin alone!

Behind Prince Xin could only be nobles, could only be the Imperial Family!

And the result of the test was exceptionally tragic!

The bottom line of the State Preceptor had exceeded the past!

It was like a thunder pool!

At the Foreign Affairs Hall of the National Taoist Institute, Xu Jin and his six companions had stopped in front of a row of weapon racks in the back of the third-tier Star Weapon Repository.

"Our Artifact Refiners of Dachen are capable of producing over a thousand third-tier Star Weapons each month, but among those, there won’t be more than three top-grade third-tier Star Weapons. Many top-grade third-tier Star Weapons are as valuable as fourth-tier Star Artifacts. Choose as you please, everyone is limited to two," said Chu Xuan, the Hall Master of the Foreign Affairs Hall.

Xu Jin meticulously examined the description tags in front each top-grade third-tier Star Weapon; he had previously considered buying third-tier Star Weapons.

During his last venture to the Fire Radiant Star Domain, his second-tier Arm Shield shattered, but Xu Jin, adhering to a frugal mindset, had thought about saving directly for a fourth-tier Star Artifact.

Having two handed to him now was indeed fortuitous.

In the end, Xu Jin chose a pair of top-grade third-tier Shadow Leopard Boots and a top-grade third-tier Universe Arm Shield.

Third-tier Star Weapons only added basic attribute enhancements.

Only Star Artifacts came with special abilities.

But the defensive capabilities they offered were indeed substantial.

Normal third-tier Star Boots increased speed by 35%, but top-grade third-tier Shadow Leopard Boots could enhance speed by more than 35%. The same was true for the top-grade third-tier Universe Arm Shield; a normal third-tier Arm Shield could at most withstand a full-strength blow from a Refining Star ninth layer expert.

However, a top-grade third-tier Arm Shield could withstand a full-strength blow from an early-period Star Condensation expert.

These two items could significantly enhance Xu Jin’s combat power.

If he could take these two new Star Weapons into the God-Killing Battlefield, Xu Jin estimated he could pass two more rounds!

"After returning, take the Mental-locking Golden Pill as soon as possible; you can also take two Star Refining Pills in a row, don’t be afraid of wasting them!

At this moment, every bit of increased strength counts.

Of course, proper rest is essential!

You don’t need to be too tense; after returning, focus on cultivation and take good rest," Left Libationer Meng Yanhui instructed a few words before allowing the seven disciples to leave.

Some people, however, didn’t return to their dwellings but went directly to the Star-picking Tower’s fourth-order Star Power Secret Realm to seize the time for cultivation.

Xu Jin, on the other hand, didn’t go but first returned to his small courtyard; firstly, to make arrangements, and secondly, to await news from the State Preceptor.

That threat was what Xu Jin was currently most unable to set aside.

When Xu Jin arrived at the small courtyard, he saw Qing Fan standing at the door, trembling with apprehension. With a turn of his Mingji Star Pattern, Xu Jin already knew the reason.

The State Preceptor was waiting for him inside the courtyard!
