Just now, Su Shize had already checked Zhang Huai’s injuries; if he recovered suddenly, it would raise suspicion.
At this moment, Xu Jin had already made a decision.
The matter of slaying Star Monarch Jiali, if it can be glossed over, then let it pass, as no one saw it anyway.
Even if someone occasionally glances over, they cannot be certain.
The reason for this decision is one: Xu Jin currently has many subtle enemies both openly and secretly.
Openly, there is True Monarch Bixuan, and secretly, there is True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment.
If the news of him slaying a Star Monarch reaches the ears of these two, then one day when they send experts to deal with Xu Jin, it’s highly likely that they will send True Monarchs.
Especially that old ghost True Monarch Bixuan, he might even act personally.
That would be too dangerous.
The recent battle, especially the one with Star Monarch Jiali, gave Xu Jin a rough estimate of his bat power.
Without using explosive methods, his strength is barely that of a Great Star Monarch, far below that of a top Great Star Monarch.
Using one kind of explosive method, such as solely using Chaos Thunder Gang or solo using Eight Stars as One, he can unleash the bat power of a top Star Monarch. When two major killing moves stack explosively, especially when injecting a large amount of Chaotic Star Gang once, it’s the bat power of a top Star Monarch.
But due to the limited reserves of Chaotic Star Gang, the bat power of a top Star Monarch can only burst out once.
In the previous heavy attack on Star Monarch Jiali, Xu Jin injected eighty strands of Chaotic Star Gang in one go.
Currently, Xu Jin’s Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower can store a maximum of one hundred forty-three strands of Chaotic Star Gang. Using Star Monarch Jiali as a reference, with Xu Jin’s current cultivation level, if he injected them all to unleash his full strength, he might be able to fend off or injure a One Tribulation True Monarch.
Limited to causing injury, giving Xu Jin himself time to preserve his life.
This is the worst-case scenario.
Of course, when Xu Jin’s cultivation level rises again, things will be different.
But for now, Xu Jin feels it’s better to hold back a bit, letting the enemies underestimate him as much as possible to buy time for development!

In the high sky, Su Shize was reporting the recently piled losses and battle results to True Monarch Tianzhang.
This time, True Monarch Jiaxi of Golden Roc Star Realm led a surprise attack, killing one hundred and twenty-four cultivators from Dongxuan Star Realm, among which one hundred and nine were Ninth Tier cultivators, with ninety-four Dao sons from Dongxuan Dao Palace, twelve Little Star Monarchs, and three Great Star Monarchs perished.
Listening to Su Shize’s report, True Monarch Tianzhang’s expression became increasingly grim.
The losses were too heavy.
Leaving aside the Little Star Monarchs and Great Star Monarchs who died in battle, the key is the ninety-four Dao sons out of the one hundred nine Ninth Tier cultivators who perished.
The chance of Dongxuan Dao Palace’s Dao sons breaking through to the Tenth Rank to bee Star Lords within ten years is only one-tenth.
However, the chance in twenty years is two-tenths, and the chance of breaking through to Star Lords in forty years is over four-tenths.
In other words, at least fifty future Little Star Monarchs have prematurely died.
Among these fifty future Little Star Monarchs, at least five or six Star Monarchs would emerge.
This loss...
"In this battle, ultimately, we left behind thirty-nine enemies from Golden Roc Star Realm.
Among the thirty-nine, there are thirty-one Little Star Monarchs, five Great Star Monarchs, and three Star Monarchs."
Listening to the battle results, True Monarch Tianzhang’s expression didn’t improve.
Most of them were slain after he arrived; pared to this, Dongxuan Star Realm’s losses were even greater.
But hearing the final number of Star Monarchs, his gaze was delighted.
"Slaying three Star Monarchs, who contributed to the other two victories? I remember I just casually killed one?" True Monarch Tianzhang asked.
"True Monarch, the other two Star Monarchs were slain by Xu Jin, Zhang Huai, and two other Little Star Monarchs, primarily led by Xu Jin.
In this battle, especially Dao son Xu Jin, they earned great merit!
If he hadn’t stepped forward, the Teleportation Array on the isolated island might have been destroyed; we might have been pletely wiped out!
However, there is one Star Monarch whose battle situation is unknown," Su Shize said.
"Oh? This is indeed a great merit! Then you must properly calculate and report this military achievement!" True Monarch Tianzhang said.
"Father, what do you mean?" Su Shize suddenly asked in transmission.
Hearing this, True Monarch Tianzhang glanced at Su Shize and said, "Let Xu Jin e over first, find out the battle situation of that Star Monarch before we talk."
"Yes."
