Chapter 695: Chapter 281 Who is the Traitor_2

Xu Jin might still have a chance to save his life, but Liu Qingzhu, Tang Hui, and Han Qing were sure to die.

Then, Xu Jin’s thoughts sank into the Spirit Martial Star Domain’s Heaven and Earth Authority, and after a slight sensation, he rushed in another direction.

Five hundred li away, not far.

But to Xu Jin’s surprise, this Fifth-order Ninth-layer expert from the present-day Human Race was alone, apparently not yet met up with by the Alien Race.

This gave Xu Jin a lot of room to maneuver.

A moment later, under the exquisite combination of the Heaven and Earth Authority and Invisibility, Xu Jin’s Divine Soul struck out, followed by the Covering Moon Sword rushing forward to seize the opportunity to slash off the limbs, with a palm strike shattering the Central Star Palace, capturing alive!

After the capture, came the interrogation by Warm Dream.

This time, having had the experience of interrogating Liu Meng, Xu Jin didn’t ask directly but started asking roundabout questions.

"How many of you came?"

"Five."

"Who is the leader or commander?"

"Zhang Yucheng."

"Where is Zhang Yucheng’s hometown?"

"It seems like Dahong Leshan County."

"Where is he currently living?"

"Not very clear."

"Where did Zhang Yucheng cultivate?"

"It’s..."

Bang!

In the middle of questioning, the prisoner’s head exploded like a watermelon.

Xu Jin’s face showed frustration.

This Divine Soul Prohibition Skill was truly powerful; Xu Jin guessed that the prisoner was about to answer "Tianyang Star Hall," touching upon critical information, instantly triggering the Divine Soul Prohibition Skill.

Really, this Divine Soul Prohibition Skill was impressive.

The possibility for Xu Jin to obtain evidence was practically none.

But now it was completely confirmed that both Liu Meng and the so-called Zhang Yucheng were sent by Tianyang Star Hall.

Their purpose was just one—to put Xu Jin to death, prioritizing killing him over the likes of Dong Zhao and others, who were merely incidental.

Xu Jin estimated that Tianyang Star Hall must have confirmed his identity through some channel to make such an arrangement.

Five Fifth-order Ninth-layers, each carrying at least one Sixth Tier Emblem, and their captain, Zhang Yucheng, with two.

Their orders were, if they find Xu Jin, to blast with the Sixth Tier Emblem.

This was indeed a ruthless move.

To be honest, the likelihood of them succeeding was great.

If encountered by an unidentified present-day Human Race person, even if Xu Jin were extremely cautious, it wouldn’t help against the other party silently blasting with a Sixth Tier Upper Emblem.

It was also fortunate that Xu Jin had obtained two-tenths of the Heaven and Earth Authority; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so smooth.

From the prisoner, Xu Jin acquired another Sixth Tier Upper Emblem, a Fifth Tier Upper Emblem, two Initial Tier Star Healing, and other Fourth Tier Emblems and Pills were not worth mentioning.

However, when Xu Jin had time later on, nourishing them for gifting others wouldn’t be bad.

Fifteen minutes later, Xu Jin killed the third Fifth-order Ninth-layer expert sent by Tianyang Star Hall.

He gained a Sixth Tier Upper Emblem, two Fifth Tier Upper Emblems, two Initial Tier Star Healing, and several bottles of Pills.

Another 15 minutes later, Xu Jin once again found another Tianyang Star Hall expert and immediately realized that this person was none other than the captain sent by Tianyang Star Hall this time, Zhang Yucheng.

With Zhang Yucheng were two Fifth Tier Early Alien Race individuals who were also met up with.

Xu Jin proceeded as before.

But it wasn’t as smooth as before.

This Zhang Yucheng was extremely cautious and even managed to activate a Fifth Tier Upper Defense Emblem on the spot under Xu Jin’s Invisibility attack, causing Xu Jin a bit more trouble.

However, under the combined attack of Divine Soul and Dazzling Purple Skyfire, there were no surprises.

But instead of the original plan to capture Zhang Yucheng alive, he had to opt for a series of rapid killings.

He couldn’t give Zhang Yucheng the chance to use a Sixth Tier Emblem.

Otherwise, with two blasts from the Sixth Tier Upper Emblems, Xu Jin would definitely be finished.

Moments later, Xu Jin found two Sixth Tier Upper Emblems, two Fifth Tier Upper Emblems, a Mid-tier Star Healing, four Initial Tier Star Healing, and a pile of Pills and Fourth Tier Emblems on Zhang Yucheng’s body.

The harvest was indeed great.

The two Sixth Tier Upper Emblems and the Fifth Tier Upper Emblems were not the only items worth noting.

Mid-tier Star Healing was actually a Fourth Tier Upper Star Healing Emblem.

But due to its value, most people referred to it as Mid-tier Star Healing.

At an auction, two Mid-tier Star Healing could be exchanged for one Sixth Tier Mid to Low Grade Emblem.

Because the Mid-tier Star Healing could save lives at critical moments.

Then, without any suspense.

A thousand li away from the Fire Bull Royal City, Xu Jin found the fifth Fifth-order Ninth-layer from Tianyang Star Hall, who was found by an expert from the Fire Bull Clan.

This level of efficiency in meeting up confirmed to Xu Jin that the Fire Bull King’s absorption of the Heaven and Earth Star Will was definitely not more than two-tenths.

As for the last of the Fifth-order Ninth-layer sent by Tianyang Star Hall, Xu Jin killed him without any suspense.

All in all, including Liu Meng, a total of six people sent by Tianyang Star Hall to assassinate Xu Jin were eliminated.

Xu Jin had initially received the news from Liu Meng and was quite furious.

The Tianyang Star Hall had gone too far.

They cheated in the Lougong Battle and even sent so many experts to kill him.

But now, Xu Jin was happy.

He even hoped the Tianyang Star Hall would send another wave of attackers.

That way, Xu Jin could fatten up a second time.

From this wave of effortless killings, Xu Jin harvested a total of eight Sixth-tier Emblems!

What did that mean?

It represented a year’s output of Sixth-tier Emblems for Kou Jing, Academician Kou, and even more.

There were also twelve Fifth-tier Upper Emblems, one Mid-tier Star Healing Emblem, and twelve Initial-tier Star Healing Emblems, as well as other Pills and Fourth-tier Emblems of considerable total value. Still, Xu Jin didn’t regard them anymore.

According to calculations, Xu Jin’s foray into the Fifth-tier Spirit Martial Star Domain had yielded a profit, even after accounting for the consumed Emblems.

And it was a huge profit.

Of course, that would be after the nourishment was complete.

Indeed: Killing and arson bring a golden belt!

However, there was one thing Xu Jin couldn’t figure out: the Fifth-tier Spirit Martial Star Domain was personally chosen by the National Master Cheng Yue Xiao, and not to mention the specific Star Domain, even the name of the Star Domain was kept confidential.

Yet, the Tianyang Star Hall not only knew the name of the Star Domain but also sent Liu Meng to gather forces from the Alien Race to ambush Dong Zhao and others.

More importantly, Xu Jin had entered the Fifth-tier Spirit Martial Star Domain just half a day earlier.

But according to the intelligence acquired from the interrogation, people from the Tianyang Star Hall, such as Zhang Yucheng, were almost immediately dispatched with orders to enter the Spirit Martial Star Domain and kill Xu Jin immediately after he set foot there.

This intelligence efficiency was too high.

Who was the traitor?

At that time, only three people knew that Xu Jin had entered the Fifth-tier Spirit Martial Star Domain: the National Master Cheng Yue Xiao, Chief Instructor Yu Da, and perhaps, the Left Libationer Meng Yanhui at most.

But Yu Da and Meng Yanhui, capable of being trusted by the National Master, should not be traitors.

Then, how did the Tianyang Star Hall learn of Xu Jin’s arrival in the Fifth-tier Spirit Martial Star Domain at the first moment?

Could it be that the Tianyang Star Hall had placed a tracking method on him?

That shouldn’t be right.

Xu Jin had never openly confronted the experts from the Tianyang Star Hall, and he had Mingji Star...

Suddenly, Xu Jin’s expression froze.

No, that’s not right!

There was another person!

Fourth Young Master Dai Guanwen from the Sumeru Palace!

Fourth Young Master Dai Guanwen from the Sumeru Palace had the full real-time information on Xu Jin.

If there truly had been a leak of Xu Jin’s information, then this Fourth Young Master from the Sumeru Palace was very likely the source.

Only he could pinpoint precisely which Star Domain was of the Fifth tier.

Moreover, he had the means, for his Star-picking Order was not forbidden!

Which meant that this Fourth Young Master Dai had the conditions to pass intelligence outward!

Xu Jin’s expression instantaneously turned gloomy!

If it was indeed this Dai Guanwen, then...

Once the turnaround occurred, Xu Jin would have to properly verify this.

If it turned out to be true, then this Dai Guanwen would be the real culprit behind Vice Academician Shen Wei’s death.

He had even almost led to Xu Jin’s demise.

This would need to be properly settled.

The next instant, Xu Jin’s mind sank back into the Heaven and Earth Authority, sensing for auras.

In the direction of the Fire Bull Royal City, there were still six presences.

It seemed that the members of the Blood God Sect were all still within the Fire Bull Royal City.

Suddenly, Xu Jin realized something was wrong.

Six presences?

According to previous intelligence, there should be the Blood God Son, the Blood God Envoy, and four Blood Clothes Vajras.

That should make seven presences.

Why was there one less?

If someone had left, it wouldn’t matter.

But if the Blood God Son had obtained the Heaven and Earth Authority and merged his presence into this world, then Xu Jin had to be cautious!

Moreover, the Blood God Son could potentially obtain the Heaven and Earth Star Will.

Because within the Fire Bull Clan, he sat on an equal footing with the Fire Bull King!

As a revered Divine Master!

After pondering for a few moments, Xu Jin shot into the sky, speeding towards Dong Zhao and the others to join them and see if they could break into the Fire Bull Royal City during the last few two-hour periods of the Lougong Battle and eradicate the Blood God Son.
