Chapter 924: Chapter 370: Awaiting and Sending the Severed Head (Part 2)
"With one punch, all misfortune turns into a smooth path, so I still want to give it a try."
"Then I, Cheng, will await Palace Master Luo at Wanyi."
"I also look forward to stepping into Great Chen’s Wanyi one day." After speaking, Sumeru Palace Master Luo Xian bowed slightly and dissipated to leave.
Cheng Yuxiao also bowed slightly to the remaining crowd in the forum and then left.
Among those who stayed behind in the forum, including several Star Lords, smiles appeared at the corners of their mouths.
Only Tianyang Star Lord’s face looked slightly troubled.

As soon as Great Chen Commander Mao Yue left the forum, he received several extremely urgent Starlight Transmissions.
The most crucial one was about the Vice Governor of the Second Division of the Fifth Guard of the Great Chen Xuanhu Army launching a fierce demand for battle merits at the Central Army Camp. Currently, this news has spread quickly within the army, affecting not only the Xuanhu Army but due to its implications on battle merits and the interests of mid and lower-level generals and soldiers, the internal relations within various Great Chen armies have become intertwined, causing fluctuations in overall military morale.
The second extremely urgent Starlight Transmission was sent by Xuanhu Army’s Military Lord Marquis Yangdu Chai Ce, asserting that given one day, he would definitely manage everything properly.
[If within a day, you fail to handle it adequately, I will personally go to the Xuanhu Army and make heads roll!
On the Galaxy Battlefield, rewards and titles are bestowed based on battle merits, which are the foundation of stable military morale. Marquis Yangdu Chai Ce, you obtained your title through such merits, there’s no need for me to elaborate!
I have only one demand regarding this matter: if Ning Yuchan has truly amassed such substantial battle merits, yet they are withheld.
If you dare resolve this through personal means, then I’ll personally lead the troops to resolve you, thus solidifying and invigorating military morale!]
Inside the Commander’s Mansion of the Great Chen Battle Zone, the just returned Commander Mao Yue had finished handling several extremely urgent military communications when a notification sounded outside the door; it was the newly appointed Right Military Adviser requesting an audience.
"Military Adviser Kou, what matter do you bring?"
"Commander, are you aware of the Fifth Guard issue concerning the Xuanhu Army?"
"Already aware! Xuanhu Army’s Military Lord Chai Ce assured me it will be adequately addressed within a day."
"Commander, what’s meant by adequate?"
Hearing this, Mao Yue looked at the newly appointed Military Adviser Kou Jing, "Military Adviser Kou, speak frankly."
"Marshal Mao, this matter, our Commander’s Mansion should intervene early on. Even if not directly intervening, we should monitor from the sidelines to prevent unforeseen occurrences! There are far too many instances of lawlessness among Military Lords and Generals, otherwise, incidents like generals demanding battle merits wouldn’t occur.
I suggest sending a supervision team down." Suggested the new Right Military Adviser Kou Jing.
Upon hearing this, Mao Yue pondered for a few instants, then looked at Right Military Adviser Kou Jing, "That’s the right principle, but the choice of personnel..."
"Commander can assign personnel."
"I find Military Adviser Kou most suitable! Military Adviser Kou being new won’t be influenced by the chaotic relations of various army heads at the Galaxy Battlefield, which is optimal for supervision."
After speaking, Mao Yue directly threw out a command arrow, "Military Adviser Kou, you directly lead my second team of trusted aides to the Fifth Guard of the Xuanhu Army to investigate and supervise the resolution of this matter."
"Subordinate accepts the mission."
Taking the command arrow, Kou Jing swiftly departed.

Inside the military mansion of the Xuanhu Army at Yangdu Battle City, Marquis Yangdu Chai Ce was discussing the matter with Right Military Adviser Sun Yi and Left Minister of War Che Rong.
"Marquis, the arrangement regarding Ning Yuchan’s battle merits, when taken individually, each merit is clearly within the rules. But when accumulated, the suppression from the Right Military Adviser becomes evident. No matter what, this trend cannot be encouraged!" said Right Military Adviser Sun Yi.
"What is your suggestion then?"
"Award her the battle merits, but sternly punish her for the act of launching a coup at the Central Army Camp, an offense of insubordination," said Right Military Adviser Sun Yi.
"What about military morale?"
Marquis Yangdu Chai Ce coldly looked at the Right Military Adviser Sun Yi, "The authority of the main general is preserved, but what about the morale of my Xuanhu Army?
Foundation!
My foundation is the Xuanhu Army, the foundation of the Xuanhu Army is military morale!
This matter must be dealt with swiftly."
At this point, Marquis Yangdu Chai Ce suddenly asked, "Zhao Weizhen’s death news, it’s still not widespread?"
"Marquis, it’s currently still under lock."
"Decapitation!
Decapitate the civil clerks under his command who are privy to the news.
Additionally, decapitate the military Lord responsible for the merits in the Fifth Guard.
Then, take Zhao Weizhen’s head along with those of these individuals, and first deliver them to the Fifth Guard to circulate among all parties.
Say Zhao Weizhen was intentionally suppressing Ning Yuchan due to personal grudges related to her hometown.
After stabilizing the Fifth Guard, further take Zhao Weizhen’s head and tour all the guards, stabilizing military morale," Marquis Yangdu Chai Ce commanded.
"I follow the order."
Right Military Adviser Sun Yi stood up, "Marquis, what about that troublemaker Ning Yuchan?"
"You don’t need to worry about this. After delivering the head, thoroughly investigate Ning Yuchan’s military merits and report them to me. I will personally arrange her disposition," commanded the Yangdu Marquis.
"I understand."
It wasn’t long before the already long-dead Zhao Weizhen’s head was severed, and Right Military Adviser Sun Yi quickly departed for the Fifth Guard.
Shortly after Sun Yi’s departure, Yangdu Marquis Chai Ce received the news.
The Commander’s Mansion of the Da Chen Battle Zone had dispatched an inspection team led by Right Military Adviser Kou Jing and had already set out for the Fifth Guard.
This news made Chai Ce wipe a cold sweat from his forehead, thankfully he handled things correctly!
However, all these changes prompted Yangdu Marquis Chai Ce to have more thoughts.
"Sun Yi did say one thing correctly; we need to find a way to deal with that troublemaker Ning Yuchan... but not now..."
*****
Xu Jin was shocked when he received a Starlight Transmission from Ning Yuchan.
He was directly taken aback by Ning Yuchan’s grand gesture.
Ning Yuchan’s actions were more astonishing than he imagined, directly hammering the central army camp, that surely was... very Ning Yuchan!
This reminded Xu Jin of the past when Ning Yuchan, upon hearing his plea for help, sailed swiftly with him to Thousand Leaf Island.
Sister Yuchan is still the same Sister Yuchan!
Suddenly, Xu Jin laughed.
During the journey to Jichuan Star Domain, Xu Jin occasionally had the illusion that without him, they couldn’t do anything.
But in reality, without him, they could do better.
It seems that the current Ning Yuchan is the one he initially liked!
However, after all the laughing, Xu Jin still mentioned this matter to the State Preceptor.
Better safe than sorry.
If Ning Yuchan likes to charge ahead, then Xu Jin is her most solid backing.
As Ning Yuchan’s most solid backing, upon entering Da Chen Battle City, Xu Jin directly plunged into the Star-picking Tower Branch.
The four-hour of contemplation time for the Star Dome Secret Realm in the Star-picking Tower in February is still unused.
Using it for star pattern deduction is the best.
As for the direction of contemplation, Xu Jin had already decided on the way.
He would first deduce speed and stacking armor.
After entering the Star Dome Secret Realm, Xu Jin’s mind sank into the Star-picking Secret Realm.
Taking a glance, he currently possessed fourteen Silver Stars, eight Gold Stars, and five Bright Stars.
This accumulation was rather rich.
Although he had decided to increase speed and stack armor.
The first star pattern Xu Jin deduced was the Thunder Image Star Pattern.
The Thunder Image Star Pattern derived from the alien race’s star pattern inheritance essence blood was at the Fifth Tier Lower; its power was decent but could be significantly increased.
Since he already had fourteen Silver Stars, Xu Jin directly consumed ten Silver Stars to begin a normal Tao Derivation.
He started a normal Tao Derivation.
Simultaneously, he activated the contemplation time in the Star Dome Secret Realm.
While deducing, Xu Jin directly invoked the Third Tier Thunder Series Law Star on the Candou Platform.
Xu Jin discovered that with the involvement of the Third Tier Thunder Series Law Star, the Thunder Avenue demonstrated during the normal Tao Derivation seemed clearer, and sometimes it evolved in accordance with Xu Jin’s intent.
This greatly enhanced the effectiveness of this ordinary Tao Derivation.
Two segments of time later, the ordinary Tao Derivation fueled by ten Silver Stars directly propelled Xu Jin’s Thunder Image Star Pattern from Fifth Tier Lower to Sixth Tier Middle.
Without hesitation, Xu Jin used a Gold Star to initiate another high-order Tao Derivation, continuing to deduce the Thunder Image Star Pattern.
Two segments of time later, the Thunder Image Star Pattern was advanced to Seventh Tier Middle.
After the deduction ended, after pondering for a moment, Xu Jin directly activated a Bright Star and began another high-order Tao Derivation.
Xu Jin intended to see how much the Thunder Image Star Pattern at the Eighth Tier could enhance the power of the Thunder Star Skill!
