Su Jue's pupils constricted as the guard seal on his chest lit up.
"Alright, since everyone has safely exited the general's tomb, I think that this time's trial should end here. Su Jue, come with me."
Tang Qinghe stood out and said.
Only after Tang Qinghe appeared did the terrifying military might completely disappear.
"Marshal Tang is joking, the others are safe and sound, what about the three Ye Clan elders?" Dong Tianlong laughed.
"Which three elders?" Tang Qinghe asked doubtfully.
"Of course it's the three elders Song, Zhao, and Lin. These three elders originally came here to protect everyone, but now, they died miserably in the general's military tomb." Dong Jianfeng said coldly.
"Miserable death? Who killed him? " Tang Qinghe asked.
"Su Jue!" Dong Jianfeng interrupted.
With this said, the crowd was in an uproar.
No one would have thought that three Star Condensation Realm practitioners had actually died in the hands of one.
"Su Jue, is this true?" Tang Qinghe said as he looked at Su Jue in shock.
Su Jue smiled, and said: "That's right, these three people did indeed die in my hands, but it's a pity that someone managed to come out alive."
"How dare you!"
Tiger King and Xu Baishi, who were behind Dong Tianlong, shouted at the same time.
"Since you've admitted it, then come with me to the Divine General's Estate to assist in the investigation." Dong Tianlong's expression did not change as he replied.
"Dong Shuai, Su Jue killed these three people because he was forced into a corner. These three people wanted to kill Su Jue first, so Su Jue took the initiative." Tang Zhitian cupped his hands and said.
Dong Tianlong laughed and said: "I said that I only wanted him to go back and assist in the investigation. If it's really as you said, I naturally wouldn't make things difficult for him."
"There's no need to investigate. I already have the intention to kill these three people. Regardless of whether they attack me or not, I will not let them go." At this time, Su Jue suddenly said coldly.
He was very clear that Dong Tianlong's so-called investigation was just a smokescreen. The goal was the Soldier Stun Pearl in his body as well as his life.
"Arrogant man, how could a person like you be a vice commander? I think it's better to go through military law." Xu Shiji shouted in anger.
"Su Jue, you mean to say, you admitted that you killed innocent people randomly?" Dong Tianlong asked.
Su Jue laughed, then said: In the world of martial arts, no one is innocent, your hands are stained with blood, you must be prepared to die at any time. If I were to be killed by them today, then I can only blame myself for being weak.
"Impudent! How dare the marshal speak like that!"
"Since this kid is so arrogant, he should be killed on the spot."
"That's right, our imperial city doesn't need such arrogant people."
Facing the furious Xu Shiji and the others, Tang Qinghe frowned as he walked to Su Jue's side and looked at him, and said: "The military tomb is not part of the mission this time. Su Jue killing someone here, can only be considered a personal grudge.
Dong Tianlong's face turned cold, after a while, he said: "Brother Tang, are you going to protect this Su Jue?"
Her voice was indifferent, but it was filled with dignity, and everyone felt a formless pressure being emitted from Dong Tianlong's body.
The Dong Clan and the Tang Clan had fought openly and secretly for many years, but they had never openly broken off all decorum.
And now, the two of them had come to a stalemate. It was clear that they had reached the critical point of their conflict.
But what no one could understand, was that the center of the conflict, was actually Su Jue.
Would Su Jue really have such immense power to cause two big shots in the imperial city to lose all decorum?
At the same time, Su Jue was also pondering.
Before this, he could feel that Tang Qinghe was avoiding conflict with the Dong Clan.
Because the Dong Clan and the Ye Clan had already formed an alliance, if the Female Emperor did not appear, they could say that they could cover the sky with one hand and he would not be able to defeat Dong Tianlong.
What made Tang Qinghe change his mind, was to openly stand against Dong Tianlong.
Originally, he was prepared to use the tip of the main sword to scare these people away, but now that Tang Qinghe had made his decision, he would not be ungrateful.
An alliance with Tang Qinghe would be beneficial to both him and Tang Qinghe.
Even though Tang Qinghe did not directly answer Dong Tianlong's question, his steps did not move the slightest bit.
He proved it with his actions.
"Please be patient marshals!"
At this moment, a figure floated over from the sky. It was the Imperial Envoy.
"Is there something you need from the Emperor?" Dong Tianlong asked without turning his head.
The Imperial Envoy smiled and said, "I came to pass on the Empress' dictum."
"The Empress' dictum?" Dong Tianlong frowned, obviously not believing him.
"That's right, the female emperor said that from today onwards, the Knifeblade Legion will be under Dong Shuang's protection, and the Knifeblade Legion's commander will still be born between Dong Jianfeng and Su Jue!"
With these words, everyone was shocked.
Tang Qinghe frowned even more as he looked at the Demon Envoy, "Envoy, is this really the intention of the female emperor?"
"Naturally, could it be that Marshal Tang suspects that I am impersonating an Emperor?"
"I don't dare!"
Tang Qinghe cupped his hands, his expression turning ugly.
On the other hand, Dong Tianlong revealed a smile, and said: "Brother Tang, since you want to protect Su Jue, then I will give you face. After all, it is very likely that he will be my subordinate in the future, no, haha."
His laughter was filled with ridicule, and Tang Qinghe's face became gloomy.
Why would the competition for the commander position in the Knifeblade Legion be between the Tang Clan and the Dong Clan? It was because the original rule was that whoever supported the vice commander from the two families would become the commander, and the Knifeblade Legion would belong to someone else.
But to Tang Qinghe, all the battles were already meaningless.
Because even if Su Jue eventually became the commander, the Knifeblade Legion would still become Dong Tianlong, and it had nothing to do with him.
"Alright, the farce is over. Disperse!"
Dong Tianlong gave one last mocking look to Tang Zhitian, and then flew away.
"Su Jue, we will meet again soon!" Tiger King looked at Su Jue gloomily and followed Dong Tianlong out.
Very quickly, Dong Tianlong's group left one after another.
"Sigh, it was all for naught in the end!" Tang Qinghe sighed as he watched Dong Tianlong leave.
"Father, I don't think so." Tang Zhitian said.
"What do you think?" Tang Qinghe looked at Tang Zhitian and said.
Tang Zhitian laughed and said: "As long as Su Jue can obtain the commander, even if this Knifeblade Legion can enter Dong Tianlong's film, what does it matter?"
Tang Qinghe frowned, then looked towards Su Jue and said: "Su Jue, what do you think?"
"The battlefield is ever-changing, who knows what will happen in the blink of an eye. What if Dong Tianlong accidentally died there?" Su Jue laughed, then flew up to the sky.
"It's dead." Tang Qinghe was stunned, and after a moment, he shook his head.
Night fell, Divine General's Estate.
After returning to the Divine General's Estate, Su Jue took note of the losses that the Knifeblade Legion had suffered during his trip to the Sky Corpse Pit.
In a team of 400 people, the casualties were more than 200. Among them, 31 were severely injured, 150 were lightly wounded, and 19 were dead!
Losing nineteen people was a huge loss to the Knifeblade Legion.
It was impossible for there to be zero casualties. If he had not obtained a large amount of battle achievements and exchanged the two array diagrams at the bottom of the mountain, the losses would have been even greater.
Tang Xingyue and Tang Zhitian had already returned to the Tang Clan while Shentu Jun had already reorganized his army.
Su Jue sat on the rooftop alone as he carefully recalled his experiences this time around.
Although he had suffered some losses, the rewards he had reaped were still enormous.
Especially when his strength had already reached the fourth stage of the Star Treading Realm, adding to that, his terrifying physical body could be said to be able to fight even against people with the sixth stage of the Star Treading Realm.
And if used on the battlefield, it was a Elite Armament that could display unexpected effects.
In addition to the rigid army, he also obtained the Wider Wood Bow.
He was also very fond of bows and arrows. In the Su Clan, he had obtained the Thousand Ox Bow, and later used this bow to kill several opponents who were stronger than him.
If he were to condense all of his star origin ability and kill a martial artist at the sixth level of Star Treading Realm, it would not be difficult for him to do so.
However, this was on the premise that he could cultivate his Sun God's Eye to the second stage — the Black and White Flames Eye!
The Black and White Flames Pupils were much stronger than the first stage. They could be seen for a hundred miles, and could not hide from any illusions. They could even predict the opponent's trajectory.
With the Black and White Flames Eyes, he would be able to use the Wooden Bow.
However, cultivating the Black and White Flames Pupils already required him to be at the 20th step in soul power. Yet, he was only at the 18th step.
Thinking of this, Su Jue once again thought of the Corpse Demons at the bottom of the Blade Mountain.
The existence of Corpse Demons had always made him somewhat worried, this kind of great demon, once it was born, it would inevitably be a disaster.
The moon set in the west, and soon the sky brightened.
Early in the morning, everyone gathered at the drill grounds to wait for the Emperor's envoy.
Today was the day of the trial's reward.
Moments later, the emissary arrived as promised.
"Everyone, both sides have met the requirements for this trial. But compared to that, Su Jue's side's performance is even more outstanding, and as the commander, Su Jue will obtain the biggest prize for this trial."
With that said, everyone became happy, while the leader Dong Jianfeng's face became extremely ugly.
Although his father, Dong Tianlong, had won in the battle of the previous generation, he was always suppressed by Su Jue in the younger generation.
Thinking of Ye Xinrou, Dong Jianfeng became even angrier.
"Alright, Su Jue, let me handle this." The Imperial Envoy said to Su Jue after distributing all the rewards to the others.
Su Jue nodded and followed closely behind the Imperial Envoy.
"Su Jue, the biggest reward this time is our capital's most precious resource, the Star Shifting Pool. You should know what this is, right?" The Imperial Envoy laughed.
Joy flashed across Su Jue's eyes. Even though he had never heard of Star Shifting Pool before, he could imagine that it was definitely something similar to the Spirit Transformation Pool and the Essence Transformation Pool.
Pour the potion into the water for the user to absorb.
And as the name implied, the Star Shifting Pool's medicine could allow a martial artist to absorb the power of the stars.
Soon, they arrived at a white pond.
"There's a Star Origin here, right?" Su Jue asked.
"Smart." The Emperor smiled and said, "The Star Shifting Pool already has five Star Origin for Star Treading Realm Warriors. So you can absorb it however you want. Don't be afraid that it won't be enough. I'm afraid that you won't be able to!"
Su Jue nodded, then said: "Do you have a time limit?"
"Yes, two hours!" The Imperial Envoy laughed.
"Two hours!" Su Jue laughed, two hours was enough!
"Wait a minute!"
