After silently killing Zhao Weizhen, Xu Jin did not leave but continued to remain invisible, cautiously approaching the position of the strongest Seventh-Tier Peak aura, which was also the location of the Yangdu Marquis, while sensing the surroundings as he neared.
Ever since Ning Yuchan was drawn into the Worshipping God Sect branch event, Xu Jin felt there was sothing wrong with the Yangdu Marquis, suspecting he might be colluding with the Worshipping God Sect.
The Worshipping God Sect had kidnapped two or three thousand people and operated on his fief for several months without anyone noticing?
Is that normal?
No, it’s not normal.
However, at that ti, Xu Jin did not have the ability to investigate the Yangdu Marquis, but the seed of suspicion was planted then.
Today, there happens to be a chance.
And since Zhao Weizhen was a confidant of Marquis Yangdu Chai Ce, during the Warm Dream interrogation earlier, besides questions related to Ning Yuchan’s incident, Xu Jin incidentally interrogated him about so issues concerning the Yangdu Marquis.
The gist of it was about what kind of secretive tasks Zhao Weizhen had perford for the Yangdu Marquis.
Upon inquiry, more than twenty tasks were revealed.
Xu Jin roughly understood Zhao Weizhen’s role in the eyes of Marquis Yangdu Chai Ce — a glove or a scapegoat.
Just like when there was an issue on his fief, and then the Military Adviser from the Marquis Mansion admitted to the cri, taking responsibility.
Once sothing went wrong, pushing Zhao Weizhen out could sever ties with him.
But, could it really sever ties?
It can’t!
No one is stupid, not to ntion the higher-ups of Dachen, including the State Preceptor, are even less so.
However, there would be political balancing, and action wouldn’t be taken hastily against a seventh-tier peak powerhouse holding significant military influence and strong combat power.
As long as it remains within tolerable limits, as long as the Yangdu Marquis shows an attitude, so matters can be easily glossed over.
Once sothing happens, Zhao Weizhen would represent the Yangdu Marquis’s attitude.
Therefore, Zhao Weizhen was involved in and executed many secretive tasks for the Yangdu Marquis.
Among the more than twenty tasks, more than half were related to two star domains, one being the Fourth-Tier Fire Cloud Star Domain, and the other being the Fifth-Tier Lan Mountain Star Domain.
Xu Jin was familiar with the Fourth-Tier Fire Cloud Star Domain, the domain where the Worshipping God Sect’s Star Official Seal was obtained.
Judging by the tiline, before Xu Jin entered the Fourth-Tier Fire Cloud Star Domain, Zhao Weizhen had, on the order of the Yangdu Marquis, sent people to the Fire Cloud Star Domain three tis. After Xu Jin exited the Fire Cloud Star Domain, he sent them twice more, once with ten elites and once with twenty, resulting in all of them mysteriously perishing.
In the latter group of elites, so were even transported from the Dachen Battle City by Zhao Weizhen himself following orders.
This tiline matches up.
The Worshipping God Sect in the Fire Cloud Star Domain is very likely collusion between the Yangdu Marquis and the upper levels of the Worshipping God Sect.
What about the Fifth-Tier Lan Mountain Star Domain?
According to the information obtained from Zhao Weizhen’s interrogation, after taking over as the Right Minister of War, Zhao Weizhen sent people once to the Fifth-Tier Lan Mountain Star Domain, arranged for supplies to be sent twice, and received supplies from the Lan Mountain Star Domain several tis, with a stable rate of every two months.
This implies that the Lan Mountain Star Domain is highly likely the Yangdu Marquis’s private stash.
It could also be another result of cooperation between the Yangdu Marquis and the Worshipping God Sect.
Xu Jin seed to realize that across the Galaxy Battlefield, the various star domains were indeed the best-developed territories of the Worshipping God Sect and the Blood God Sect.
If secretly protected and information hidden by a major figure, they could quietly make a big fortune.
Currently, Xu Jin’s invisibility approach towards the Yangdu Marquis aid to investigate the specific situation of the Yangdu Marquis.
And to watch the Yangdu Marquis’s specific reaction.
Because of Zhao Weizhen’s death, it won’t be long before it’s discovered.
As he approached within eight to nine hundred ters of the Yangdu Marquis, Xu Jin could clearly sense the Yangdu Marquis’s aura and cultivation level.
The effect of the thirty-six Mingji Star Patterns was extraordinary.
The furthest sensing distance was 1800 ters, but the optimal sensing distance was around 900 ters.
At the sa ti, the miraculous uses of the Mingji Star Patterns were increasing, including providing assistance in deducing and comprehending the star patterns.
When refining the Star Official Seal earlier, while faintly sensing the direction of another twenty-seven Star Official Seals, activating seven or eight Mingji Star Patterns provided an extrely vague sense, but activating thirty-six gave a faint direction.
Xu Jin had already decided to further enhance his Mingji Star Patterns next.
The cultivation level of Marquis Yangdu Chai Ce was quite normal, Seventh-Tier Peak.
However, the fluctuation of his Divine Soul was astonishing to Xu Jin.
He couldn’t precisely gauge the specific Divine Soul cultivation, but Xu Jin could clearly sense that Marquis Yangdu Chai Ce had already condensed his Primordial Spirit.
State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao, with his status and resources, had previously only managed to coalesce the Primordial Spirit Embryo without fully breaking through to condense the Primordial Spirit.
Marquis Yangdu Chai Ce, at Seventh-Tier Peak and rely the leader of an army, had already early on condensed the Primordial Spirit.
Even though resources are indeed more abundant on the Galaxy Battlefield, it still seed not quite normal.
However, if considering the potential collusion between Marquis Yangdu Chai Ce and the Worshipping God Sect, then his erection of the Primordial Spirit beca very normal.
In the shadows, Xu Jin, while remaining invisible, quietly waited.
Those civil clerks who were hypnotized by Warm Dream would wake up within fifteen minutes at most.
Fifteen minutes later, the Military Mansion suddenly erupted in chaos and commotion.
A few breaths later, in the central courtyard of the Military Mansion, the distinct Seventh-Tier Peak aura unique to Marquis Yangdu Chai Ce suddenly burst out from the courtyard, heading towards the Right Minister of War’s quarters.
Zhao Weizhen’s death had already been exposed.
Xu Jin remained still.
The position where he was currently located was eight hundred ters away from Right Minister of War Zhao Weizhen’s barracks.
He just needed to quietly stay here, activating the Mingji Star Patterns to observe the state of affairs.
