Chapter 534: The Queens Day Before
Two days until the Feng and Shan Sacrifice.
"Li."
"This General is present."
"Go help me investigate the information of the women that Chen Mo most recently had contact with. This Palace wants to see how many Star Generals are close to him."
Yue Li had never asked about Su Mian's private matters before, so Dream In A Millennium could be very at ease leaving this to her. After completing a pile of work, Su Mian went to the "Primordial Chaos Prison." The Primordial Chaos Prison was the deepest place in the Purple Rose Star Palace, one that incarcerated Star Names guilty of serious offenses.
The Primordial Chaos Prison and the Central Star Field's Star Leyline were one, possessing the most powerful energy. Even top-notch Star Names would find it very difficult to break free once inside. In the six, seven centuries since Su Mian governed the Central Star Field, the Primordial Chaos Prison had always been empty. However, today, Su Mian seemed to have imprisoned all the Star Names on her list ever since she took the reins of power over Central.
The Star Names that participated in the revolt were all locked up in the prison, without exception.
These Star Names included "Eternal Victory Everywhere" Chang Yuchun, "All Encompassing National Scholar" Shi Dao'an, Shi Wansui and the other "Nine Elders Of Sui," and Wang Meng and the other "Amrita Seven Grands." Their bodies were covered in serious wounds. They had all been captured and brought back to Central by Huo Qubing Huo Chujian.
Su Mian walked past them, sweeping her gaze.
Looking at "All Encompassing National Scholar" Shi Dao'an, Su Mian briefly hesitated. She sighed and still very deferentially nodded her head.Shi Dao'an returned the salutations. Even in prison, she appeared very calm.
The pride of a Star Name made these top-notch martial generals would never surrender their honor, but there were always exceptions.
"Your Majesty, please release Your Servant. Your Servant Zhang Xutuo Zhang Ganlu will certainly brave any danger for the Central Star Field and work herself to the bone." Zhang Xutuo knelt, making a desperate plea in an attempt to move this ruler of Central.
Su Mian glanced at her, then ruthlessly continued on, making Zhang Xutuo shout herself hoarse.
In the end, Su Mian arrived at the prison's deepest cell.
In the boundless darkness, she saw a young lady sit upright and still, her posture dignified. She was ramrod straight, just like a god of war. There was no difference between her actual identity and a god of war.
"God Of War Made Duke Guo Ziyi. I truly never imagined we would meet under these circumstances." Su Mian greeted her.
Guo Ziyi slowly opened her eyes, as if she had recalled something.
After she escaped Chen Mo, she was captured by the Purple Rose Imperial Guard as she was rushing back to the Heavenly Tang Star Kingdom. What surprised Guo Ziyi even more was that she actually got thrown into this Primordial Chaos Prison.
"Your Majesty, what is this?" Guo Ziyi calmly asked.
"Heavenly Law Protector. God Of War Made Duke. To entertain you in this manner was no easy feat. This Palace merely wants to chat with you about Li Shimin's affairs. Presumably, you should be aware of many of her matter?" Chen Mo was very amicable. ṟ
"No comment." Guo Ziyi was unmoved.
"Your silence makes This palace very disappointed.
Guo Ziyi did not respond.
"Then This Palace shall speak. This Palace wonders when Li Liangyi is prepared to overthrow me?"
"Your Majesty is overthinking. The Heavenly Khan's loyalty to Central is a model for all others. She would not rebel."
Su Mian silently smiled. Even at this moment, God Of War Made Duke still spoke up for Li Liangyi, "To be frank, This Palace is a bit jealous of her abilities."
"If Your Majesty releases Ziyi right now, Ziyi will mention Your Majesty's grace to the Heavenly Khan." Guo Ziyi also said.
"Ai." Su Mian sighed: "I fear this cannot happen for the time being. Little Sister Ziyi had better wait in the prison, it is comparatively safer."
"Your Majesty truly believes that a prison contain our Star Names?" The corner of Guo Ziyi's mouth curled in disdain. This prison was filled with too many formidable Star Names. So long as their wounds mended and everyone worked together, let alone the Primordial Chaos Prison, breaking through the Primordial Chaos Star World would not be a problem.
"Of course, This Palace governs Central, so naturally I would never underestimate any of you." Su Mian faintly smiled: "Back on tropic, you led a rebellion against This Palace, yet why would This Palace leave any of you alive. Could it be you actually believe This Palace is very kind?"
"Huh?" Guo Ziyi was taken aback.
Su Mian flipped her hand over and cheerfully took out a piece of silk.
"This is."
"Use your Star Names to give This Palace a helping hand."
"Not good."
"God Of War Made Duke" Guo Ziyi's expression suddenly changed.
It was already too late.
…
"You're already too late."
Outside, night, moonlight, in an uninhabited mountain forest, Chen Mo spoke regretfully. His hand brandished the staff, its intense wind rolling towards two girls without stop: "You two responded way too late." Chen Mo's attack swiftly descended, a suffocating storm.
Ganjiang and Moye had perfect coordination, their twin swords blocking.
Northern Dipper morphed through various forms in Chen Mo's hand, from spear, bow, saber, staff, axe, and fist, displaying the Bagua.
"Sister." Mo Huang shouted.
"En." Gan Feng intuitively understood.
The twins' coordination was absolutely flawless. They transformed into swords and attacked with a Heaven Earth Dark Yellow Skill, "The Stars Are No Longer Like Last Night."
Chen Mo had already waited a very long time for this legendary Heaven Earth Dark Yellow Skill. The Without Ultimate True Qi around him evolved into the Four Symbols, the Bagua, the Dual Modes, and the Without Ultimate. Even the powerful Heaven Earth Dark Yellow Skill faced unexpected results under the Without Ultimate True Qi – it dispelled.
The black and white twins very quickly were unable to last and were defeated.
"Young Master, you're so amazing. We honestly aren't a match for you." Mo Huang's eyes were filled with hearts.
Chen Mo walked over and helped wipe the sweat from the girls' foreheads. Gan Feng faintly blushed, closing her eyes in contentment. Ever since they saw Chen Mo's technique yesterday suppress a fierce general like Qin Qiong, the two girls were eager to try and taste Chen Mo's aggression. Chen Mo wanted to face the Four Lords Of The Warring States, and he wanted to familiarize himself with the power of the Northern Dipper embedded with seven Star Stones. At the same time, he could experience the Heaven Earth Dark Yellow Skill.
The spars left him feeling like a fish back in water, his responses very relaxed.
Pity that Ganjiang and Moye were merely of the School Of Craftsmen. Their martial prowess was far from the peak, and Chen Mo had no way to use full power against them.
"Seems you are not fully enjoying yourself."
A teasing voice from faraway saw through his inner thoughts.
Chen Mo turned his head to see a woman riding a snow-white fox indolently watch him from the sky above. She wore a qilin robe, and her skirt trailed extremely long, like tail feathers. Her surroundings also had Huo Guang and other generals standing guard.
In the night, the woman appeared more brilliant than moonlight.
Even the "Nameless Sword" first-rate Star Name could not help but be moved watching Chen Mo's spar with the twins just now.
"Qilin Martial Emperor" Liu Hongyu.
"With a Realm like yours, only I can satisfy you." Liu Hongyu seemingly smiled.
"Is the Martial Emperor so free?"
Liu Hongyu languidly said: "The Feng and Shan Sacrifice's result is already decided, and I am very bored. I heard you wanted to challenge the Four Lords Of The Warring States…Oh, I am just a little excited." To the Qilin Martial Emperor, Bai Qi Bai Ling, head of the Four Lords, was a very headache-inducing character. She could not help but admire this man's self-destructive courage.
"However, you are one who must attend My Crow-dipper Life Banquet. I do not want you dying in the Central Star Field." Liu Che said.
"Then please give Your Servant pointers, Martial Emperor." Chen Mo beckoned.
The next second, there was the clash of weapons.
Chen Mo already intercepted this faster-than-light strike.
Liu Hongyu appeared ten meters away in front of him. Ganjiang and Moye were unable to react to the Martial Emperor's strike just now.
"Ahn~~~~" Liu Hongyu moaned in satisfaction.
"Come, make a bet with Me."
"What kind of bet?"
"A bet that if you do not lose in a hundred thousand exchanges, it will be considered My loss."
A hundred thousand exchanges. This was not very long. Chen Mo currently had absolute confidence, and he just so happened to need a top-notch Star Marquis like Liu Hongyu to stimulate the combination of his Without Ultimate True Qi and the Northern Dipper.
"Good, but if I win, I want your people." Chen Mo's eyes rolled about.
"What did you say? I did not hear that clearly." Liu Hongyu seemingly smiled.
"I want one of the people from your side." Chen Mo thought it over.
"You will not seize the chance to have Me?" Liu Hongyu's green eyes spurt a dark flame.
"Yu Xuanji. I want her!"
"Fine." Qilin Martial Emperor Liu Hongyu did not hesitate to agree. One Yu Xuanji was not at all significant to her, but the request that Chen Mo raised made her very upset. Her Qilin Martial Kingdom had so many people, he surprisingly wanted a guqin master he had no relationship with.
"Then if you lose."
Liu Hongyu's hands spread. The "Heavenly Qi and Earthly Lin" swords appeared in her hands. A qilin phantom manifested behind her and shone brilliantly. Even Chen Mo's Four Symbols showed a bit of trepidation. If this was before, Chen Mo would already have been defeated before launching an attack.
Chen Mo activated the Purple Rose Star Eyes. His eyes glowed with purple light, reflecting the starry sky.
Liu Hongyu's heart was shaken, surprisingly a bit numb. The woman shouted.
"If you lose…"
"I want you!!"
Swod-light flit by without mercy.
