“Long Ju came to find Sanmei, we’ve already me.”
“Long Ju? Head of Xiang Yu’s Five Great Generals, the General Of Qiankun Long Ju?” Qing Wan was stunned.
“She sought out Sanmei to enter the Inner Star Fields and help Xiang Yu.” There was no point on concealing this matter.
Qing Wan’s expression could not help but show envy. To any Outer Star Field cultivator, each of the words “Inner Star Fields and help Xiang Yu” would overwhelm them with emotions. The Inner Star Fields were a place they could hardly reach in their lifetime.
“Are you unhurt?” Chen Mo asked.
“Long Ju gave some pointers for my Bagua.” Qing Wan wanted to summarize the events of that day. She did not provoke the fury of Long Ju despite attacking her counterpart. On the contrary, the King Of Qiankun seemed to have the intention to help her. Although she still remained unconscious for several days at the Qing Family’s manor, after Qing Wan regained consciousness, her comprehension of the Bagua was even clearer.
“She’s quite a good person.” Chen Mo recalled Long Ju’s rigid expression and could not help but grin.
Qing Wan felt deeply the same. This was the first time she had ever encountered a Star General that could give tips to a warrior.
“How is your Bagua now? I’ll see if there’s anything I can teach you.” Chen Mo said.
Qing Wan demonstrated her Bagua in the tent. As Chen Mo watched her, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
Just at this moment, Zhang Ming’s bugle sounded outside the tent.
Qing Wan stopped her Bagua, and Zhang Ming promptly walked in.
“What’s the matter?” Chen Mo asked him.
“Your Highness, the Supreme General has suddenly ordered the entire army to leave camp for a drill.” Zhang Ming reported.
“Drill?” Chen Mo pondered.
“Your Highness, would you like to inspect the entire army together with Your Humble Servant?” Zhang Ming nervously asked. He evidently also felt this was abnormal. The Southern Suppression Camp had not drilled already for several years. But for Supreme General Yu Huaizheng to suddenly order training under the current circumstances, this made him feel uneasy.
“You guys can go. I’ll stay with Nianyou and walk around.” Chen Mo smiled and said.
“Will Your Highness truly not go?”
“En, it just so happens I can solve a few issues.” Chen Mo nodded.
Seeing Chen Mo so determined, Zhang Ming said nothing more. He lowered his head and respectfully left the tent.
After he left, Qing Wan showed worry: “Chen Mo, I fear there is something wrong with this training.”
“Different situations call for different solutions. If there’s a problem, we solve it.” Chen Mo was unconcerned. He turned and walked before a table, holding Nianyou’s little hand that was practicing calligraphy.
“Right, Qing Wan. How about you walk around with me in a moment. I’ve been in Nan Jiang for so many days without admiring this place’s beautiful landscape.” Chen Mo raised his head and asked with a smile.
“It would be my honor.” Qing Wan prudently replied.
Supreme General’s tent.
The adviser quietly said: “Lord General, the entire army has already left camp for drills in accordance with your orders. You can embark.”
“And that Highness?” Yu Huaizheng asked.
“Still in the camp, as if he is preparing to seize this opportunity to take a stroll around Nan Jiang’s valley.” A bodyguard answered.
“His downfall is imminent, just let him look around.” Yu Huaizheng sneered. “How are Commandant Luo and the others’ preparations?”
“Per Lord General’s orders, Commandant Luo and four others have already led a thousand soldiers away from the camp. By the time Chen Mo leaves the tent, they will be waiting in ambush. That person is also ready.”
“Very good.” Yu Huaizheng nodded. A thousand warriors with surging Qi-blood. Even if Chen Mo was God Transformation Realm, he ought to suffer enormously. Emperor Tang wanted to exploit the gu of Nan Jiang’s Ancient Miao to kill Chen Mo. Perhaps there was basically no need to do this at all. Whenever Yu Huaizheng imagined Chen Mo dying to his scheme, his heart filled with pride.
To kill the zhuangyuan of the Divine Warrior Examination, few of the generals in the Great Chong Dynasty’s history could do so.
“Let’s head out.” Yu Huaizheng did not want this matter connected to himself.
…
The Southern Suppression Camp was situated on a plain several hundred li across. A large river cut through it, and the surroundings were all rainforests and deep valleys.
The humid rainforest was the domain of one of Nan Jiang’s ANcient Miao. From the outside, the rainforest was a boundless green, the branches and leaves lush and like a parasol. Whenever sunlight shone through, the dew and mist of the rainforest would refract gorgeous halos, making the faraway camp soldiers feel blinded. However, concealed beneath the coating of verdant greenery was the Tail Fire Star Field’s cruelest poison bugs.
There were hardly any people who could enter the rainforest and come out safe and sound.
The valley on the Southern Suppression Camp’s west side was in sharp contrast. Its terrain started with towering mountains and harrowing precipices, along with a flat land that one could gallop straight across. Green and pure, it was a very elegant place. The army’s drill would take place a few dozen li away from this valley.
Chen Mo and Qing Wan each rode a horse slowly through the valley. Chen Mo was even telling Nianyou some strange stories as she lay against his chest.
“Chen Mo, what do you plan to do about Nan Jiang?” Qing Wan honestly was unable to stand this excursion-like atmosphere and opened her mouth to ask. As far as she knew, it was very dangerous for Chen Mo to act as the Supreme General of Nan Jiang.
“The Great Ancestor Emperor back then succumbed to the Ancient Miao’s gu. You have to be careful.”
“No worries, I’ve got Lifeless Wine.” Chen Mo smiled and said.
“Lifeless Wine?” Qing Wan was unaware that Chen Mo had already come to Nan Jiang before and even obtained Great Gu Master Yeyao’s Lifeless Wine. This wine was able to defend against most of the Ancient Miao’s gu poisons.
“I already have someone among the Ancient Miao. When the time is right, Nan Jiang’s affairs should be resolved fairly quickly.” Chen Mo thought. He said: “Right, I have something I want to ask you.”
“Please speak, Your Highness.”
Just as Chen Mo was about to, all of a sudden, several pops echoed in the air.
A wide swathe of arrows came flying down from the mountain cliffs.
“Ambush, look out.” Qing Wan barked, exercising her True Qi.
“They’ve finally come.” Chen Mo looked indifferently at the arrows filling the heavens. He extended his hand and waved, striking with the Zhangtian Seal.
The air seemed to be sucked clean away by some force. The hundred arrows were snapped apart in midair before they even began descending, and at the same time, countless soldiers dashed down the cliffs, their murderous cries deafening.
A dozen Lesser Thunder Tribulation cultivators rode on their swords, controlling their Flying Swords to attack.
Qing Wan shouted: “All of you are so outrageous, to actually dare sneak attack His Highness. Aren’t you afraid of nine familial exterminations.”
From the very start, the Lesser Thunder Tribulation cultivators did not place Qing Wan, who was Three Flowers Gathered Overhead, in their gazes. In the face of her overbearing tone, they sneered: “Since His Highness Chen Mo wants us dead, then we have no choice but to kill him first.”
“You’re called Luo Hua, a commandant. There was mention of you in the reports. A hundred girls molested. You should be turned into mincemeat.” A chill was in the tone of Chen Mo’s every word.
When Qing Wan heard of this villain’s evil conduct, her expression changed, too. “Bastard!”
Luo Hua laughed: “Nan Jiang has been our dynasty’s great enemy since ancient times. The special favor This Old Man showed some of Nan Jiang’s girls bolsters our dynasty’s prestige.”
“Bastards like you…” Qing Wan soared, leaping off her horse’s back and transforming into a serpent.1
Luo Hua gestured, and his Flying Swords swatted Qing Wan down to the ground.
Chen Mo looked around at his troops, as if he could see the vice filling each of their faces: “Are you determined on revolting?”
“We’re only preserving our lives. Brothers, don’t waste your breath, kill him.” Luo Hua yelled. The five commandants mobilized their Divine Intents, controlling their Flying Swords to attack. Nearly a thousand troops exercised their Qi-blood, Three Flowers, and drew swords as they flooded over.
“With just you pieces of scum?” Chen Mo’s Deva Eyes opened. In an instant, power as vast as Heaven and Earth descended upon the valley. The bodies of Luo Hua and his companions trembled, and their Flying Swords halted in midair. Chen Mo struck with the Zhangtian Seal. A gigantic palmprint appeared on the body of a sluggish commandant. He screamed, and all of his flesh was blasted apart as he turned into a shower of blood.
This scream jolted everyone awake. Luo Hua shouted: “Brothers, use your magic treasures and talismans, form an array. This brat is a God Transformation cultivator.”
Qing Wan brought out the Green Snake Sword. Her body techniques were lithe as a snake in the grass, agile and mobile, weaving through the crowd as she pleased like a big serpent. These soldiers and warriors possessed Qi-blood Nine Turns strength or higher, but they had abandoned their cultivation all year round. Their martial arts had deteriorated enormously and could hardly ward her off with their weapons.
A sword-light rolled past them, and several dozen heads fell to the ground.
Qing Wan’s Spirit Snake Body Techniques combined with the Bagua’s Bowl Steps. She came and went through the crowd like the wind, but this wind was foul and chilling. Qing Wan slithered through them like an enormous python. The soldiers sustained enormous casualties; they were completely powerless to assume a battle formation.
Luo Hua was shocked. He did not know when such a formidable woman had jumped onto Chen Mo’s side..
“Kill that woman first.”
One of the other commandants promptly ordered.
High Grade talismans and magic treasures turned into several dozen lights that descended like meteors. Although the cultivations of the Lesser Thunder Tribulations were shallow, their combined might was overwhelming. To kill the Qing Wan who was without magic energy would be as easy as turning over their hand.
However, before these magic treasures struck Qing Wan, they were disintegrated by a palm of emptiness.
“Zhangtian Seal!!”
Luo Hua watched this ability with a pale face.
The strongest ability of Chang’an Mansion’s Chen Zhangtian. He never imagined this wet-behind-the-ears brat was able to master it to such a level.
Chen Mo indifferently and calmly rode his horse, facing the encirclement of a thousand soldiers without fluster. His gaze was on Qing Wan. He watched the girl’s unwavering swordsmanship, inwardly admiring her technique.
Seeing the Lesser Thunder Tribulations were still targeting Qing Wan, Chen Mo used his palm to shake another Lesser Thunder Tribulation cultivator’s meridians to pieces and kill him.
His Zhangtian Seal possessed super powerful restraining abilities against people and creatures that were high in the heavens, thus it was named Zhangtian. The Lesser Thunder Tribulation cultivators that were on their riding swords in the sky had undoubtedly charged into the tiger’s jaws.
The five Lesser Thunder Tribulation commandants instantly were down to three left. The color had already drained from Luo Hua’s face in fear. Against the God Transformation Realm Chen Mo, they basically could not match him. Immediately, he had thoughts of running. The moment he thought of this, all of a sudden, he felt the air surrounding his body was sucked away. A force that was tyrannical to the extreme came from true nothingness and invaded his body, making his muscles, bones, and meridians begin to split apart.
Zhangtian Seal!
Luo Hua struggled in fright, giving it his all, but his entire body exploded.
Whoosh, whoosh.
Countless arrows were fired again. Chen Mo waved his hands several times, knocking aside the projectiles. Ever since he entered God Transformation Realm, Chen Mo’s usage of the Zhangtian Seal was increasingly perfect. After dispatching several Lesser Thunder Tribulation cultivators, Chen Mo’s gaze once again turned to the woman in green clothes. Who could have imagined that the girl that once disdained him was at this moment nevertheless putting her life on the line to protect him. Corpses lay strewn all over the field beneath her feet. After killing several hundred soldiers, Qing Wan’s energy was gradually reaching its limit, and there were a few cuts on her body.
The girl did not retreat in the slightest, and her Qi Flower did not extinguish.
Several dozen rays of saber-qi slashed at her. Qing Wan’s sword deflected them, using Kun Six Severed to break through the encirclement. She spun, and another Great Snake Collapse chopped four, five warriors in half at the waist. But a spear stabbed at her from the back again. In the end, Qing Wan was still not yet a flourishing Three Flowers Gathered Overhead. Just as the spear was about to run her through, an enormous force suddenly descended from the sky and smashed apart all the people surrounding her.
Qing Wan’s tottering body landed against a wide chest.
Qing Wan weakly opened her eyes. Chen Mo had already pulled her body into a protective embrace. “Your Highness…”
“Well done. Leave the rest to me.” Chen Mo smiled and said: “Nianyou, you hold on tight, too.”
Nianyou affirmed from his other side.
The more than six hundred warriors left let out thunderous roars. All of the troops immediately assumed a formation. Their Qi-blood skyrocketed, and their killing intent surged.
“If you direct this Qi-blood towards the enemy, that would actually be worth praise.” Chen Mo twitched his mouth, full of disappointment.
“Kill him!”
“Kill him!”
Everyone shouted. Powerful killing intent made the cultivators’ magic energy battle-ready.
Chen Mo’s gaze hardened. He extended his hand and swiped. A rumbling sound rolled over the expansive plain. A Five Finger Mountain formed from magic energy erupted from the ground. The warriors in the surroundings were promptly crushed to powder by this magic energy.
The billowing shouts immediately turned into dying gasps and dreadful silence.
Ability.
Five Finger Mountain!
