Chapter 694: Chapter 281 Who is the Traitor

After careful consideration, Xu Jin decided to go on the hunt alone.

The reason was simple, before obtaining the Heaven and Earth Authority of the Spirit Martial Star Domain, Xu Jin, even with Invisibility at his disposal, its effectiveness was very limited.

As long as Xu Jin approached any Alien Race of the Spirit Martial Star Domain, even if they couldn’t see him, those Alien Races would instinctively feel alert.

But after obtaining twenty percent of the Heaven and Earth Authority, Xu Jin had become a part of the Spirit Martial Star Domain, as native as one could possibly be.

Coupled with Invisibility, it would have a miraculous effect.

Not to mention the native Alien Races would fail to detect him.

With the help of the Heaven and Earth Authority, Xu Jin could get within a few meters of a target rejected by the Will of Heaven and Earth without raising any suspicion.

It was simply a Killing Device for assassination.

In this case, if Dong Zhao and the others acted together with Xu Jin, they would just be holding him back.

Xu Jin did not directly tell Dong Zhao about the Invisibility aspect but claimed that he had obtained the Heaven and Earth Authority of the Giant Elephant Star Domain, which allowed him to better conceal his aura.

Under these circumstances, no matter if the reinforcements coming to aid Liu Meng carried Sixth-order Emblems, they would hardly be able to exert their full functionality.

Dong Zhao gave the matter some thought before agreeing with Xu Jin’s idea.

As for Xu Jin’s strength, it had already been proven in several previous battles.

To be honest, even Dong Zhao himself, if he were to fight directly against Xu Jin, would not have much of a chance of winning.

Since there were less than ten two-hour periods left until the end of the Lougong Battle and the Star Gates’ closure, they couldn’t afford to arrive at the Star Gate at the last moment.

What if something unexpected happened?

After some discussion, the final operation time was set at seven two-hour periods, with the last three reserved to reach the temporary star gate, ensuring a safe withdrawal.

Otherwise, once the temporary star gate closed, even if the State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao paid a price to have Dai Guanwen reopen the temporary star gate, they would still need to send several people in to search for their position to provide a star gate.

Within this Fifth-tier Star Domain, with its vast territory and numerous dangers, searching for someone was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

With even slightly bad luck, who knows how long Xu Jin and his party would be trapped here.

Therefore, time was extremely pressing.

Xu Jin went out to hunt the reinforcements, while Dong Zhao, Liu Qingzhu, and the other four headed toward Fire Bull Royal City to see if they could break into the city within the last seven two-hour periods and kill the Blood God Son, to prevent future troubles.

As for the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Pill they had obtained earlier, although it could allow Dong Zhao to achieve a breakthrough instantly, he could not afford to break through.

Breaking through meant no return.

As for Liu Qingzhu, she was unable to break through mainly due to her Divine Soul, so for the time being, she could not achieve a breakthrough either.

"Mountain Master, use this to contact us; if there is an emergency or a change, I can inform you at any time."

Before departing, Xu Jin gave the Red Scale Heart Armor to Dong Zhao and the others.

This was a major Killing Device for contacting within the Star Domain.

By making a basic connection, the five of them could act in unison.

Fifteen minutes later, the five separated, with Mountain Master Dong Zhao and the others flying in the direction of Fire Bull Gold City.

It could be foreseen that they would encounter multiple obstructions along the way.

They had not refined the Will of Heaven and Earth, and were still naturally rejected by the Will of this world.

Xu Jin, on the other hand, shot straight into the sky, heading toward the nearest target, just over seven hundred li away.

When approaching a hundred li, Xu Jin descended back to the ground, concealed his aura and flew close to the ground, and within fifty li, he proceeded to fly invisibly.

After a few dozen breaths, Xu Jin spotted his target.

Three Fifth-tier individuals.

Two Fifth Tier Middle Golden Snake Clan members and one Fifth-order Ninth-layer present-day Human Race member.

These two Middle Tier Golden Snake Clan members must have been the Alien Race members previously tasked with escorting outsiders, unaware that the Golden Snake Royal City had already fallen.

The next instant, Xu Jin in stealth slightly stimulated the recently acquired Heaven and Earth Authority of the Spirit Martial Star Domain.

The combination of Heaven and Earth Authority and Invisibility was simply unbeatable.

Two breaths later, Xu Jin moved past the two Middle Tier Golden Snake Clan members from five meters away without them sensing a thing.

Had it been before obtaining the Heaven and Earth Authority, let alone five meters, even at a hundred meters away, they would have been immediately alert as Xu Jin passed by.

That kind of alertness was like a wild beast’s natural instinct; if a fierce animal approached, they would sense it even from afar.

As for the Fifth-order Ninth-layer present-day Human Race member, he fared even worse.

Under the influence of Invisibility and Heaven and Earth Authority, Xu Jin trailed five meters behind him for two breaths without him noticing anything.

The next moment, a torrent of Divine Soul fluctuations and purple Flame Light erupted without warning.

In an instant, the Human Race member’s orifices spouted blood, and then the purple fire condensed into a line, blasting his head without any defense.

The two Golden Snake Clan members acting as escorts, staring at the suddenly-appearing Xu Jin and their slain escort target, were stunned.

It took them a moment to react.

One breath later, both were blasted to death!

One kill!

With the combo of Heaven and Earth Authority and stealth on the sneak attack, the Fifth-order Ninth-layer present-day Human Race member didn’t even have a chance to use his Emblem, let alone react, before he died inexplicably.

Afterward, Xu Jin looked at the retrieved Emblems with a resolute expression.

This Fifth-order Ninth-layer present-day Human Race member surprisingly carried nine Emblems.

Among them, one was a Sixth Tier Upper Emblem and two were Fifth Tier Upper Emblems.

The remaining six, aside from two Low-level Star Healing Emblems, were all Fourth Tier and hardly worth mentioning.

It seemed that Xu Jin’s strategy was utterly correct.

If he were a bit prepared, just a firm determination to unleash all three of these Emblems, Xu Jin, Dong Zhao, Liu Qingzhu, Tang Hui, and Han Qing, all five would be affected.
