Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation-Chapter 433 - 189: Limb Regeneration Technique_3

"This matter has nothing to do with you, nephew," he said, comforting Xu Jin with a sentence. "You should head back and reassure your family as well. Given the catastrophe that has befallen the Ying Family today, there are still matters to attend to, so I won’t keep you any longer. The kindness you showed today will forever be remembered by the Ying Family."

Even now, Ying Bonian remained strong, forcing himself to remain spirited.

After offering a few words of comfort, Xu Jin quickly left and hurried back to his courtyard.

Upon his arrival, he saw Ning Yuchan and Jiang’er anxiously waiting for him.

"It’s good that you’re fine, it’s good that you’re fine! I heard that today, within Wanyi, there were seven or eight assassination incidents, with numerous casualties," Ning Yuchan said.

"That many?"

Xu Jin was shocked.

"It shouldn’t affect our family, should it?"

Realizing the potentially wider implications, Xu Jin hurriedly took out his Star-picking Order, preparing to contact Cao Chun, the Mountain Master of Jinshan County Taoist Institute, to check on his father, Xu Dajiang’s safety.

He hoped they hadn’t gotten caught up in this chaos.

"Don’t worry, family members are generally not implicated. Plus, I’ve already contacted the Jinshan Taoist Institute. Uncle Xu is safe; Mountain Master Cao has taken him into the institute, where he is out of harm’s way," Ning Yuchan explained.

In addition to being grateful, Xu Jin also noticed that Ning Yuchan was really very thorough, considerate, and caring towards him.

He had only just thought of the issue, and Ning Yuchan had already handled it for him.

He couldn’t help but look at Ning Yuchan a few times more.

It was at this moment that Xu Jin realized Jiang’er shouldn’t be in the courtyard, as it was time for Star Pointing.

However, due to today’s frequent assassination incidents, the Star Pointing had been suspended for half a day.

Xu Jin started to contact his fellow disciples, and before long, messages began to come through one after another.

There were quite a few people targeted in assassinations today.

The first to be attacked was Wang Rusong, the Top of the Autumn Exam from the year before last, but he noticed it in time and only suffered minor injuries.

Then, it was Fang Ying, the Top of last year’s Autumn Exam—seriously injured!

Three years ago’s Top of the Autumn Exam, Pang Yu, was attacked at home but managed to kill the assassin using his Emblem and personal strength.

Meng Qingqiu, who came second in this year’s Autumn Exam, was injured in an attack—seriously wounded.

Yan Chen, who placed third in the Autumn Exam this year, was attacked after lunch on his way back to the National Taoist Institute. His injuries were quite severe, but he managed to escape back to the institute on his own.

All those who were attacked had left the National Taoist Institute.

In addition, True Disciple Ji Hongli was attacked on her way back to the National Taoist Institute from home, managing to kill her assassin, though the details of how she counterattacked were still unclear.

True Disciple Bu Xutui was attacked in a clothing store in the afternoon and unfortunately passed away!

Then it was the simultaneous attack on Xu Jin and Ying Ge—Ying Ge was seriously injured!

The timing of all these assassinations was during the afternoon.

All victims were brothers and sisters from the same sect. Now the National Taoist Institute had heightened security and restricted movement, leaving Xu Jin no choice but to contact everyone through the Star-picking Order to offer consolation.

After receiving responses and updates on their situations,

He learned that they all faced powerful assassins of the Fifth Tier!

Fortunately, many had life-saving Emblems, which was why they narrowly survived.

But quickly, Xu Jin discovered a pattern.

Everyone else, whether it was Meng Qingqiu, Yan Chen, Ji Hongli, or Pang Yu, had all faced only one wave of assassination,

And the assassin was always a single Fifth Tier expert.

Only Xu Jin and Ying Ge had faced three waves of assassination attempts!

This made the situation somewhat eerie.

From Xu Jin’s own encounters, it was clear that these three waves of assassins were not acting together.

So, were there three separate masterminds behind the attempts on Xu Jin and Ying Ge’s lives?

Who could they all be?

He wondered if the Spring Rain Department, the Pill Dawn Guard, or the National Taoist Institute might be able to uncover any results from their investigations.
