Chapter 90: Master, You’ve Worked Hard
Wang Jie thought the Mad Thunder had lost his mind. How was this any different from courting death? Did he really believe that the Eight Prison realms would protect him? It was possible that the Eight Prison realms would be the first to squash him.
The two sides clashed, but Wang Jie was not caught in the crossfire.
Creatures from the Berserk Clan tried to capture him, but found themselves unable to lay a hand on him. Unless a full Star Realm expert intervened, these typical Star Breaking Realm beings were no longer a threat to Wang Jie.
At that moment, Wang Jie hid within the ruins of Green Mountain City, surrounded by creatures. It was only a matter of time before they found him.
The battle had just begun when news arrived: the Fourth Defensive Line had collapsed.
It happened too quickly.
Without the Mad Thunder, the defense line was helpless against the Frost Radiance Sect.
After receiving the news, Mad Thunder’s assault on Jiang You Sheng grew fiercer. His warhammer swung, shattering nearby stars, sending countless shattered mountain peaks crashing toward Green Square Star, relentlessly bombarding the earth. Green Square Star was descending into chaos.
How could the Puppet Master Tower possibly stand up to Mad Thunder?
Jiang You Sheng and Mad Thunder were evenly matched, but the creatures Mad Thunder brought along were elite members of the Fourth Defensive Line. They soon cleared the Puppet Master Tower, and it wasn’t long before Wang Jie was found.
Wang Jie looked around, noting the many creatures closing in, including Star Breaking Realm beings. He shouted, “I’m a Celestial Refinement Master! No matter what crime I’ve committed, taking me away will cancel it out, right, Mad Thunder?”
In the distance, Mad Thunder glanced over. Hadn’t this been said already? Why repeat it now?
But Wang Jie wasn’t speaking to Mad Thunder. He was speaking to Bei Bei Yi, who was still hiding somewhere within the Green Square Star cluster.
If he wanted to avoid being taken by the Berserk Clan, one Jiang You Sheng wasn’t enough.
As the creatures surrounded him, Wang Jie gave up on resistance. He didn’t want to fight to the death.
A surge of white energy erupted from the ground, transforming into pillars of ice that pierced the sky. Bei Bei Yi had made his move.
Mad Thunder and Jiang You Sheng’s expressions changed as they looked to the distance.
Arrows rained down, accompanied by the sound of birds chirping.
Wang Jie breathed a sigh of relief.
“Jiang You Sheng, deal with the enemies first.”
Jiang You Sheng’s eyes flickered. If the Master were taken to the Eight Prison realms, there was still a chance to rescue him. But if he were taken by the Frost Radiance Sect, that would be the end. Realizing this, he acted, joining Mad Thunder in attacking.
However, Bei Bei Yi had ambushed them and was already the closest to Wang Jie. By the time they struck, Bei Bei Yi was already at Wang Jie’s side.
“Brother,” Wang Jie feigned excitement.
Bei Bei Yi wanted nothing more than to slap this bastard dead, but the Celestial Refinement Master was too valuable to kill. He had to catch him alive. “If you don’t want to die, come with me.”
“Absolutely don’t want to die.”
“Let go of the Master.” Mad Thunder and Jiang You Sheng struck simultaneously.
Bei Bei Yi sneered, charging forward with Wang Jie in tow.
Mad Thunder was shocked and hurriedly stopped his attack. Jiang You Sheng instinctively tried to block Mad Thunder, fearing that he might kill Wang Jie.
“Come on!” Bei Bei Yi laughed. “If you have the guts, make a move. Let’s see who dies first.”
Wang Jie realized this guy wasn’t as stupid as he looked. He was stalling for time.
The Fourth Defensive Line had already collapsed. The Frost Radiance Sect was advancing, and the Berserk Clan dared not step into the Third Defensive Line. This area would inevitably belong to the Eighth Star Chain.
Mad Thunder gritted his teeth, staring at Bei Bei Yi, unsure of what to do.
Jiang You Sheng didn’t care about the Ninth Star Chain; he only wanted to protect Wang Jie’s life. “Master, don’t worry. I’ll definitely get you out of here.”
Bei Bei Yi sneered, “Don’t worry. As long as you don’t make a move, I’ll take good care of this Master.”
Mad Thunder suddenly attacked, swinging his warhammer at Bei Bei Yi.
Bei Bei Yi retreated swiftly, and in front of him, a candlelight flickered. The hammer struck the candlelight, and though it seemed to sway, it couldn’t break through. Meanwhile, its starforce was being consumed, and the hammer began to melt.
Jiang You Sheng used a puppet to smash the hammer away, roaring, “Mad Thunder, what are you doing?”
Mad Thunder’s gaze fixed on Bei Bei Yi. “This human can use Star Methods. He looks young, likely a true disciple. Killing him would be a great achievement.”
Jiang You Sheng blocked his way. “That would kill the Master.”
“War is ruthless,” Mad Thunder snarled.
Jiang You Sheng stood in front of Wang Jie, tangling with Mad Thunder.
Bei Bei Yi continued to retreat with Wang Jie, slaughtering countless creatures that tried to surround him. His voice was low. “I hope you really can help me cancel out my wrongs. Otherwise…” He shot a cold look at Wang Jie, the meaning clear without words.
Wang Jie sighed, “I didn’t know you were so strong, brother. Had I known earlier, I would have sworn brotherhood with you, sharing life and death.”
Bei Bei Yi sneered inwardly. Just him? Did he deserve that?
But despite his thoughts, this man was a Celestial Refinement Master, and his value was immense. However, he had never entered a sect and had been cultivating alone, so he was less aware of his worth.
The Green Square Star cluster continued to collapse.
The city had long turned to rubble.
Mad Thunder was intent on killing Bei Bei Yi or capturing Wang Jie, while Jiang You Sheng could only block Mad Thunder’s attacks, seeking a way to rescue Wang Jie.
At this moment, the Green Square Star cluster suddenly trembled. Starforce, visible to the naked eye, surged from the earth, transforming into transparent beams of light shooting into the sky. The pressure turned into a violent wind that swept across, causing both Mad Thunder and Jiang You Sheng to pause.
Snow began to fall from the sky.
Bei Bei Yi was excited. “It’s here.”
Jiang You Sheng’s face turned pale, and without hesitation, Mad Thunder turned to flee.
He hadn’t expected someone from the Hundred Star Realm to arrive. Had they been hiding this entire time?
But before he could reach the universe, the snow in the heavens suddenly froze. In an instant, Mad Thunder was trapped in ice, struggling in vain, and ultimately turned into an ice block that crashed to the ground.
The entire process took less than three seconds.
The formidable Mad Thunder, a wandering Star Realm expert, was killed just like that.
Wang Jie stared in a daze. Was this the power of a Hundred Star Realm expert? Was the difference really this vast?
The Green Square Star was completely transformed into a white world.
Creatures from the Ninth Star Chain continued to freeze and die from the cold.
Jiang You Sheng slowly descended, his face as pale as death. He dared not move. The people from the Puppet Master Tower didn’t dare make a move either.
Frost Radiance Sect had prepared too well. If this Hundred Star Realm expert had acted earlier, the Fourth Defensive Line wouldn’t have lasted this long. This person had been hiding all this time.
“Greetings, Domain Master Ning Yu.”
Bei Bei Yi suddenly bowed to the sky.
Wang Jie looked up at the two figures standing above the snow. One was Yan Fu Yu, and the other was an old figure with a red complexion, exuding a dignified aura.
It was the first time Wang Jie had seen Yan Fu Yu again, and Yan Fu Yu, meeting his eyes, seemed surprised. How was he alive? And why was he with Bei Bei Yi?
Wang Jie smiled at Yan Fu Yu.
Yan Fu Yu felt a sense of absurdity.
“Who are you?” The old figure spoke. He was the Domain Master of Condensed Brilliance, a Hundred Star Realm expert, and it was he who had killed Mad Thunder.
Jiang You Sheng bowed and said, “Seventh Star Chain, Green Square Star Cluster Puppet Master Tower Master Jiang You Sheng, greetings, Senior.”
The Domain Master of Condensed Brilliance looked puzzled. “Why were you fighting Mad Thunder? Shouldn’t the Seventh Star Chain be helping the Berserk Clan?”
Jiang You Sheng didn’t know how to explain it. Everything had changed so quickly.
Bei Bei Yi spoke respectfully, “This matter, disciple can explain.”
The Domain Master of Condensed Brilliance turned his gaze to Bei Bei Yi. “Was this your task?”
Bei Bei Yi’s heart sank. “Yes.”
“Why did you fail?”
Bei Bei Yi bowed deeply. “When I arrived, I was trapped by the Puppet Master Tower and have been unable to complete the task until now. Please punish me, Domain Master.”
The Domain Master of Condensed Brilliance descended to Jiang You Sheng’s side and waved his hand toward Bei Bei Yi.
Bei Bei Yi hurriedly led Wang Jie over.
At this moment, Yan Fu Yu had many questions, but it wasn’t his place to speak.
Despite being a deputy domain master, his status, cultivation, and authority were far below the Domain Master of Condensed Brilliance.
“Speak. Now there’s plenty of time to listen.”
Jiang You Sheng and Bei Bei Yi exchanged glances. Seeing the Domain Master of Condensed Brilliance’s gaze on them, Jiang You Sheng was the first to speak. “The battle with Mad Thunder started because of this Celestial Refinement Master…”
As soon as the words “Celestial Refinement Master” left his mouth, the Domain Master of Condensed Brilliance’s eyes lit up, and he instinctively focused on Wang Jie.
Yan Fu Yu was stunned. This guy was a Celestial Refinement Master? How was that possible?
Bei Bei Yi looked at Yan Fu Yu, puzzled. What kind of expression was that?
Wang Jie could clearly feel the Domain Master of Condensed Brilliance’s gaze growing softer, even more appreciative. After all, the greatest value of a Celestial Refinement Master was their ability to refine the star force for a Hundred Star Realm. This Domain Master, too, was from the Hundred Star Realm.
This was getting interesting.
Should he take out that ring or not?
Jiang You Sheng finished speaking, and Bei Bei Yi said nearly the same thing.
Once he finished, the Domain Master of Condensed Brilliance smiled and looked at Wang Jie. “Apologies, Master. War is ruthless. I’ve made you suffer.”
Wang Jie stepped forward and bowed. “Junior Wang Jie, greetings, Domain Master.”
The Domain Master of Condensed Brilliance nodded and smiled. “Master wasn’t injured, was he?”
Wang Jie replied, “No, thanks to Brother Bei Feng and Tower Master Jiang, I would have been eaten by that monster if not for them.”
“Hahaha, Master jokes,” the Domain Master of Condensed Brilliance laughed heartily. Bei Bei Yi also let out a sigh of relief. The value of the Celestial Refinement Master was greater than he had thought.
Jiang You Sheng, on the other hand, was bitter. The Celestial Refinement Master was lost.
It was lucky that he hadn’t died.
“I accidentally obtained this item. Senior, please take a look and see if it is of use.” Wang Jie handed over the storage ring.
The Domain Master of Condensed Brilliance took it and glanced at it. His eyes flickered, and he suddenly looked at Yan Fu Yu.
Yan Fu Yu took it, his expression changing. He looked at Wang Jie in disbelief, then at the storage ring, before taking out a vial of blood and dripping it on the ring. A beast skin map appeared from within.
Wang Jie watched the whole process.
The more he looked, the more relieved he felt. It seemed genuine.
Yan Fu Yu nodded at the Domain Master of Condensed Brilliance. “It’s this one.”
The Domain Master of Condensed Brilliance stared at Wang Jie deeply. “How did you obtain this, Master?”
Wang Jie looked at Yan Fu Yu. “Because… this is my mission, right, Yan Fu Yu?”
