Everyone nodded, and Xu Jin asked, "How could you be so careless to be surrounded by a large army?"

Normally, unless they blundered right into them, the combined strength of Ying Ge and his four comrades should not have resulted in an army encirclement.

Even if they encountered a large army, they should first flee, then let the Star Refining Realm warriors of the Alien Race distance themselves from the army, and the five could then join forces to easily take down the Star Refining Realm experts.

The recent bitter fight seemed more like they had been surrounded.

Hearing this, Ying Ge grimaced and said, "Senior Brother, less than an hour ago, we found three disciples from the Star Hall. There were only three of them, and we had five people, so we courageously gave chase, thinking of turning the tables.

They also fled directly.

They escaped towards the Royal City, and we didn’t dare to follow, so we retreated. On our way back, we encountered the Alien Race’s large army and fell into a tough battle."

"Did you come across any other Star Hall disciples after that?" Xu Jin’s heart stirred as he asked.

"Yes, this morning, we encountered Tianyang Star Hall’s prodigy, Zhang Shuo. There were only two of them.

Seeing us, Zhang Shuo and his companion didn’t hesitate to retreat towards the Royal City, and we didn’t dare to pursue," Ying Ge said.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jin’s expression changed, "This is not right. Your encounter with the Alien Race’s large army may not be bad luck, but a planned trap.

Prepare to fight!"

The next instant, Xu Jin soared into the air, and in a blink, he leaped onto the tallest tree to survey the surroundings.

Among the trees in the south, Xu Jin spotted a fleeing wave of the Alien Race’s troops suddenly stopping!

This was very noticeable from his high vantage.

While other routed soldiers fled like torrents of water, fearful of being short two legs, that spot had halted.

"You guys recover for a while, then head in this direction. I will scout ahead," said Xu Jin as he came down.

"Okay."

"Senior Brother, I’ll accompany you," Ji Hongli said.

"They’ve expended too much energy. You stay to help them remain alert. If something goes wrong, I will send you a signal," Xu Jin said.

Afterward, Xu Jin rushed towards the southern forest, staying close to the ground.

He dared not leap high, as that would make too much noise.

After covering roughly two kilometers, Xu Jin began to conceal his breath and entered a semi-invisibility state.

It was impossible to become completely invisible while running at high speed.

Sixty breaths later, when he was still three to four kilometers away from the southern forest, Xu Jin slowed down, turned invisible, and rapidly approached.

In the forest, the routed soldiers that Xu Jin had seen were being gradually released, and he could hear the voices of several Star Hall disciples.

"What a pity, we could have wiped them all out."

"Yeah, their strength has been almost completely drained by those Aliens. Even with five people, the three of us at full strength could take them out easily!

Such a shame, reinforcements have come!

It must be that the strongest, Xu Jin, has arrived."

"Shall we try it?

Even though Xu Jin is strong, having killed so many Aliens, he must be greatly weakened.

There might be a chance to slay him!

If we manage to kill Xu Jin, then we will achieve a great merit!" Zhou Yuanguang of Tianyang Star Hall said.

This suggestion, however, irresistibly tempted Wang Anye, also from Tianyang Star Hall.

Something Tian Lie couldn’t accomplish, if they did, they could not only make their master proud upon returning but also receive substantial rewards!

However, Zhou Yuanguang’s idea was promptly rejected by Tao Tiancheng from Cangming Star Hall, "No!"

"Three against five, with them greatly weakened, we have the upper hand!

But three against seven!

The risk is too high!

With the slightest mishap, it would be us facing annihilation!

We cannot take this risk!"

After saying this, Tao Tiancheng added, "Just now that Alien said that two individuals who are close to us in strength have gone to the Royal City, it’s very likely Senior Brother Zhang or Senior Brother Tian!

Let’s do this, we also return to the Royal City!

No matter which Senior Brother is there, once we meet up, dealing with them later will be much easier.

After all, the disciples of the National Taoist Institute have gathered together, so when the time comes, we can take them all out in one fell swoop!"

"That’s the best course of action," Zhou Yuanguang said.

Xu Jin, hiding invisibly, sneered to himself, what a truly good plan!

In the next instant, a terrifying fluctuation of Star Power suddenly erupted.

"Watch out!"

"Watch out!"

In the instant of alarm, Tao Tiancheng suddenly screamed, clutching his head in extreme pain as he was hit by Xu Jin’s Breaking Evil.

Xu Jin’s Divine Soul Cultivation at the Eighth Layer of Star Refining released a Breaking Evil attack that immediately caused Tao Tiancheng to cry out in pain, rendered temporarily useless by the strike.

At the same time, a burst of flames exploded!

Flame Burst!

Zhou Yuanguang from Tianyang Star Hall didn’t even see who his attacker was when Xu Jin’s overpowering Flame Burst reduced him to ashes!

Wang Anye’s reaction couldn’t have been faster.

The moment he saw Zhou Yuanguang obliterated, fear surfaced in his eyes. Without hesitation, he turned to flee and crushed a Chasing Moon Emblem.

His speed exploded instantly!

Truthfully, Wang Anye was very confident in his speed!

Especially after crushing the Chasing Moon Emblem, Wang Anye believed he could escape with certainty!

He was usually quite adept with speed.

Boom!

The sound of Thunder Burst resonated as lightning flashed. Xu Jin incredibly appeared directly in front of Wang Anye.

At high speed, Wang Anye charged into Xu Jin’s embrace.

A punch erupted!

Flame Burst!

And it was a Flame Burst of an extremely small range!

It exploded directly towards Wang Anye’s face.

Bang!

Wang Anye’s Body Protective Starlight burst instantaneously, then his head exploded in an instant, turning to ashes.

The greater part of his corpse fell from the sky.

Behind him, after extreme pain for three to four breaths, Tao Tiancheng finally recovered from the torment to his Divine Soul.

Blood seeped from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

That strike was too terrifying!

Tao Tiancheng felt that if it had been any stronger, his Divine Soul would have been utterly shattered!

Not knowing where the enemy had gone, Tao Tiancheng took a deep breath, mobilized his Star Power, and prepared to escape.

Escape to the Alien Race’s Royal City and meet with those two Senior Brothers.

No matter who!

Bang!

The next moment, a headless corpse was thrown in front of Tao Tiancheng.

Xu Jin landed, his feet striking a series of blows to Tao Tiancheng’s chest and abdomen, shattering the Starlight over Tao Tiancheng’s chest.

It severely shook Tao Tiancheng’s Central and Lower Star Palace, and his Starlight dissipated!

A Star Hall disciple taken prisoner!
