Chapter 653: Chapter 349: Star Luo Killing Array (Part 2)

If that’s the case, he has to face the mysterious forces capable of establishing sub-branches across the entire Ancient Profound Western Continent.

This time, two people in the early stage of the Seventh Realm came to track him down. What about the next time?

“First, find a way to obtain the True Intent Soldier Embryo of the Seven-Star Kingdom, then think carefully about how to escape from the Heavenly Inquiry Tower.”

Chu Ming memorized the two people’s auras, then concealed his form and continued to flee towards the First Star State of the Seven-Star Kingdom.

He left silently, and Xux Guang and Xux Yuan from the Heavenly Inquiry Tower were completely unaware. They were just injecting Qi Blood to activate the Star Luo Killing Array.

About half a quarter of an hour later.

Xux Guang furrowed his brow, his face unsightly.

“Brother, the area within thirty-five miles is completely locked; every inch of space is under the Star Luo Killing Array, yet we haven’t detected the person who robbed the tower!” Xux Yuan sent an angry message.

“Could it be that the words we spoke earlier were discovered, and the person who robbed the tower has already escaped?”

“…” Xux Guang was silent for a long time, and finally had to admit, “He probably escaped, otherwise the Star Luo Killing Array would have already forced him to reveal his true form!”

“A frog at the bottom of a well, yet possesses such skills! How hateful!”

The Heavenly Inquiry Tower has a vast influence, spread across the Ancient Profound Western Continent. The two occupy actual positions within the tower, their knowledge vast and unimaginable.

On the Ancient Profound Western Continent, only kingdoms like the Celestial Veil Kingdom, the Ancient Immortal Kingdom, and the Divine Martial Kingdom are worthy of the attention of the Heavenly Inquiry Tower. The other nations, especially inland realms, are akin to frogs at the bottom of a well.

“The Star Fall Killing Array failed to trap this person, and the tracking by the Spirit Shadow Star Array was cut off. This person is likely not from the inland realm.” Xux Guang’s expression was grim.

“Could he be from the Celestial Veil Kingdom?”

“Hard to say.”

“Should we report this to the inside of the tower?” Xux Yuan’s expression was somewhat grave.

The Heavenly Inquiry Tower has always been friendly with the Celestial Veil Kingdom, at least on the surface. If the person who robbed the tower was sent by the Celestial Veil Kingdom, then this matter is beyond what they as law enforcers can resolve.

“Not for now,” Xux Guang waved his hand, retrieving the treasure used to set up the Killing Array, “The matter hasn’t been clarified yet; the identity of the person robbing the tower is just our guess.”

“Reporting this to the inside of the tower now will only make the elders think we’re incompetent.”

“…” Xux Yuan was silent.

Clearly, Xux Guang’s words were reasonable.

“No need to rush; the elders gave us a month, and it’s been less than five days. We’re close to capturing the person who robbed the tower.”

“Letting him escape this time doesn’t mean he will always have such luck.”

“What does Brother plan to do?”

“First, go to the Seven-Star Kingdom sub-branch and let them gather some information.”

“Additionally, didn’t Xing Man’s two younger brothers die at the hands of the person who robbed the tower? Send news of the person appearing in the Seven-Star Kingdom to the Han Court and Xing Man.”

“Alright.”

The two withdrew the Star Luo Killing Array and then headed to the Heavenly Inquiry Tower’s Seven-Star Kingdom sub-branch.

Just half a two hours later, two figures arrived at the Heavenly Inquiry Tower, namely the two strongest individuals of the Seven-Star Kingdom, Han Court, and Xing Man.

“Brother, I just sent out the message, how did Han Court and Xing Man show up?” Xux Yuan looked at the newcomers, his heart filled with doubt.

“It wasn’t your message that brought them, but rather that Han Court and Xing Man had already learned of your and my arrival in the Seven-Star Kingdom.”

“Someone inside the tower leaked the news?”

“Hmm,” Xux Guang nodded slightly, “But this is exactly what we want.”

Saying this, he strode forward to greet them.

“Brother Han, Sister Xing Man,” Xux Guang beamed, seemingly very familiar with the duo, “Long time no see, long time no see indeed.”

Han Court wore a smile, while Xing Man remained expressionless.

“Hehe, why didn’t Brother Xux Guang inform us of his visit to the Seven-Star Kingdom?” Han Court clasped his hands in greeting.

“It was a sudden matter,” Xux Guang also clasped his hands, “Besides, Brother Han and Sister Xing Man often roam the Ghostly Sea, I didn’t know you’d be in the Seven-Star Kingdom.”

“Brother Xux Guang is feigning ignorance,” Han Court’s face suddenly showed anger, “My Seven-Star Kingdom’s two National Guardian Realm experts died in the Yiyang Kingdom; such a humiliation to my Seven-Star Kingdom prevents Man’er and me from focusing on the Ghostly Sea.”

“Oh?” Xux Guang tried to act oblivious.

“Brother Xux Guang need not pretend; I’m well aware of the events in the Yiyang Kingdom. Not only were two of my Seven-Star Kingdom’s National Guardian Realm experts killed, but also people like Yiyang Lie from the Yiyang Kingdom perished, and even the Heavenly Inquiry Tower’s Yiyang Sub-Branch was robbed, right?”

Han Court nearly exposed everything.

Xux Guang smiled but said nothing.

At this point, he was very certain that someone inside the tower had sent word to Han Court.

“I heard that even Steward Wu Dai from the Divine Martial Kingdom was killed in the Yiyang Kingdom.” Han Court broke the silence, laying things bare.

Implying that he knew the purpose of Xux Guang and Xux Yuan’s visit to the Seven-Star Kingdom.

“Haha, please come inside, it’s been a while since I’ve had a drink with Brother Han Court.” Xux Guang made an inviting gesture.

However, Han Court remained motionless, only staring at Xux Guang: “I am not here to drink, but to avenge my Seven-Star Kingdom’s two National Guardian Realm experts.”

“Brother Xux Guang need not be wary of me; I can swear a blood oath, as long as Brother Xux Guang tells me the whereabouts of that young man in black, and we will take none of the treasures used to slay him.”

“Furthermore, as a token of gratitude,” Han Court flipped his hand, revealing two treasures glowing brightly, “These two Ghostly Jade Clams are for Brother Xux Guang and Brother Xux Yuan to enjoy with wine.”

“Afterwards, I will additionally present two Tier Seven treasures!”

Xux Guang and Xux Yuan gazed at the two shimmering Ghostly Jade Clams, their eyes flickering.

Not requiring any treasures, first offering two jade clams comparable to Tier Six treasures, and later promising Tier Seven treasures? It seems Han Court and Xing Man’s hatred runs deep indeed.

Xux Guang withdrew his gaze and refused the jade clams, saying with a smile, “Brother Han Court, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but we don’t know the whereabouts of the young man in black either.”

“I won’t hide it from Brother Han Court, you can probably guess that in the Third Star State, we tracked the young man in black, but he escaped.”
