Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation-Chapter 434 - 190: Old Before Marriage

September 20th, a day destined to be remembered.

A day of blood.

Starting from 13:00 on September 20th, genius disciples from various major forces began to encounter assassination attempts.

The first to be targeted was last year’s and this year’s true inheritor geniuses from the Cangming Star Hall.

The first true inheritor disciple from the Cangming Star Hall, Yu Xingye, was poisoned to death.

Yu Xingye was known as the once-in-a-decade top genius of the Cangming Star Hall and had been considered the disciple most likely to achieve the Star-picking Golden Star.

Following that, there were thirteen assassination attempts in the Cangming Star Hall and within the Dachu territory.

Including Yu Xingye, three were successful, two were counter-killed, two genius disciples were crippled, three were seriously injured, and the rest sustained minor wounds.

Just 15 minutes later, Lin Xun, a genius disciple of the Tianyang Star Hall, faced two waves of assassination attempts, but both ended in failure.

The Tianyang Star Hall had once acknowledged that the Gold Star picked this year came from their hall, and Lin Xun was the disciple with the highest likelihood of picking it.

Afterward, Li Guyan, last year’s Top of the Autumn Exam from Tianyang Star Hall, was stabbed and critically wounded at the brink of death.

Inside the Tianyang Star Hall’s Dahong territory, sixteen assassination attempts occurred, leading to the successful assassination of four Tianyang genius disciples, one crippled, five seriously wounded, and the rest lightly injured.

The assassinations in the Dachen territory happened shortly thereafter.

Compared to the others, the number of assassination attempts there were the fewest, and the losses were minimal, with only one disciple killed and another crippled.

At the same time, disciples of the Da Chen National Taoist Institute encountered assassination attempts; over ten waves of assassinations unfolded at the Doom-suppressing Star Palace.

The Doom-suppressing Star Palace controlled the Barbarian Clan territory, which is why the assassinations were particularly brutal.

Fifteen assassination attempts took place, and of those, only two assassins escaped with their lives; the rest were either counter-killed or chose death while encircled.

The results were also the most substantial. freewebnoveℓ.com

Five genius disciples from the Doom-suppressing Star Palace were killed, three were crippled, and three seriously wounded.

As the assassins were immediately exposed in the Barbarian Clan territory, many resorted to suicidal tactics from the onset of the assaults.

The top youth of the Barbarian Clan, Bugud (with the bravery of an eagle) Da Hai, was repeatedly targeted for assassination and critically wounded on the brink of death.

The second-ranked youth of the Barbarian Clan, Bugud Daian, encountered an assassin and was killed on the spot.

...

In just a span of a one to two-hour period, as if by a prearranged agreement, the major forces all made their moves, eliminating each other; of course, there were also suspicions of retaliation.

Suddenly, there was a whirlwind of panic!

Within the main hall of the Cangming Star Hall in Dachen, Star Master Zhang Zhen looked at the battle report in front of him, his face ashen.

Dead in battle!

The Fifth Tier Gathering Battle Sixth Layer expert assigned to assassinate Xu Jin had died in battle.

The death in battle was one thing, but the latest intelligence reported that Xu Jin was without a single injury—which was highly surprising.

With the emergence of four Gold Stars, the Cangming Star Hall issued a direct order for a clean-up mission, with the first target being Xu Jin, the first in the autumn exam of Da Chen National Taoist Institute!

According to all current evidence, the likelihood of Xu Jin having picked four Gold Stars was slim, but his potential to pick Gold Stars in the future was enormous.

This was not only due to Xu Jin’s previous performances but also the peculiar situation in the Third Tier Purple Wind Star Domain.

After the battle of selection had ended, Zhang Zhen organized thirty Star Refining Ninth Layer disciples to invade the Purple Wind Star Domain to investigate the situation.

It was crucial to understand what had transpired in the Purple Wind Star Domain.

And incidentally, to try and overcome the Purple Wind Star Domain.

But the intelligence feedback was so shocking that it took Zhang Zhen and the Cangming Star Hall high-level completely by surprise.

Inside the Purple Wind Star Domain, chaos reigned.

Their previously controlled king, Zi Hao, was dead, and the whereabouts of the Thunder Feather Heart within him were unknown.

The most shocking thing was that the Fourth Tier Star Condensing Realm experts of the entire Purple Wind Star Domain fiercely resisted their invasion.

Before the disciples of the Cangming Star Hall invaded, the Star Condensing Realm experts in the Purple Wind Star Domain were divided into three factions, fighting daily.

Yet when the disciples of the Cangming Star Hall entered, the Purple Wing Clan experts within the Star Domain united together against the external threat.

The elite disciples called up this time belonged to the Star Refining level of the Cangming Star Hall’s main hall in Dachen. Although there were thirty Star Refining Ninth Layer disciples, very few were top geniuses.

Just three days after entering, following the deaths of seven Star Refining Realm disciples, the remaining disciples regrettably returned.

Nevertheless, there was still valuable information obtained.

The death of the Purple Wind Star Domain king, Zi Hao, had a great connection with a male disciple from the National Taoist Institute.

They did not know his name, but they managed to purchase a portrait of the male disciple with a Mental-locking Golden Pill.

The portrait was not good, but Zhang Zhen recognized it at a glance—it was Xu Jin.

It was Xu Jin, the autumn exam leader of the Da Chen National Taoist Institute.

Zhang Zhen naturally reported it to the Star Hall, and coincidentally, the Four Golden Stars incident occurred. The high-level of the Star Hall decided to execute a clearance plan, and Xu Jin was conveniently listed as the primary target by Zhang Zhen.

Two experts at the Middle Period of the Fifth Tier Gathering Battle Realm were selected for the job.

They were still searching for an opportunity when an undercover source reported that Xu Jin had left the National Taoist Institute and had also left the city.

They immediately dispatched two Specialist experts of the Fifth Tier Gathering Battle Realm to carry out the strong assassination against Xu Jin.

Under the watch of two Fifth Tier Gathering Battle Realm experts, not to mention a single Star Refining Realm disciple like Xu Jin, even a typical new Expert of the Fifth Tier Gathering Battle Early Period would be done for.

But what they did not expect was that during the actual execution, the two assassins split up to pursue their respective targets.

The one chasing Ying Ge realized something was wrong and managed to escape back.

However, the Fifth Tier Gathering Battle Sixth Layer subordinate who was chasing Xu Jin died in the confrontation!
