Li Mi, an outstanding hero during the last years of the Sui dynasty, leader of the Wagang Army,1 someone who once fought over China against Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan. Chen Mo never imagined Qingyi’s Star Name would actually be him.
Upon seeing Li Mi, Zhou Panlong was clearly shaken, her eyes already showing fear. Even Lu Xuanjing felt astounded.
Chen Mo was not aware at all that during the Central Star Field’s marquis conferrals, Li Mi had fought against the ranked third Li Shimin for a place among the Sixteen Star Marquis. Although Li Mi and her subordinate “Seven Nobles” faced the Lingyan Pavilion in crushing defeat, she was an adversary that Li Shimin admired, judging her thus: “Li Mi is gifted and clear-headed, both a dragon and a snake, someone immeasurable.”
Li Shimin was the ruler of the Heavenly Tang Star Kingdom, who possessed the nickname of “Ten Thousand Worlds Divine Weapons” in Star World. Even among her compatriot Sixteen Star Marquis, those who could pose a match for Li Shimin could be counted on fingers.
After that catastrophic defeat, Li Mi’s vitality was debilitated, and her Seven Nobles had all Starfallen. The “Wagang Army” was at last ancient history.
“Li Mi, you actually did not die!” Zhou Panlong steadied herself, her tone cold. A few centuries had passed since then, so Li Mi would not necessarily be as powerful as she was back then. Li Mi had allied with Li Shen at that time and was still unable to eliminate Li Shimin. On the contrary, she was defeated by the latter in the end. Perhaps there was no need to fear her.
“If you want to continue fighting, I will kill you first!” Li Qingyi’s eyes glowed green, like a ravenous wolf in the black night. She showed a cruel desire for slaughter.
Li Mi flung the longsword of green light, turning it into a dragon that coiled behind her like the Taiji.
Amidst its boundlessness, six stars appeared.
This sword-like ancient sight was none other than Li Mi’s Star Weapon.
“Dragon And Serpent Dual Modes”2
“If you want me to agree to you, then let me first see your capabilities.” Zhou Panlong sneered. She lifted her own Star Weapon, the Ten Thousand Hu Dragon Combat, charging with enormous force.”
Earth Rank “Galloping Horse Spear Thrust.”3
Zhou Panlong seemed to ride a divine steed, her power unblockable. That dagger-axe in her hand seemed to hold the power to cleave Heaven and Earth and was difficult to stare at head on. Chen Mo reckoned that even a Lord Of Heaven’s sword array would be broken through.
Li MI pointed her finger. The dragon moved and whistled towards Zhou Panlong’s Earth Rank.
The dragon coiled, instantly swallowing Zhou Panlong’s figure.
They heard a fierce battle rage inside. Li Mi controlled her “Dragon And Serpent Dual Modes,” surprisingly making Zhou Panlong unable to advance an inch. The power of her Earth Rank completely vanished.
The serpent split apart, and the woman stepped back, cutting a very sorry figure.
Her shoulders were exposed, and her clothes and armor were ripped, revealing wounds.
“If you are not an ally, then you are en enemy!” Li Mi’s eyes were like torches, every word filled with ice-cold killing intent.
Zhou Panlong withdrew, stowing her Star Weapon.
“As expected of Li Mi, who fought against the Ten Thousand Worlds Divine Weapons in the past. I am not match for you.” Zhou Panlong said. “For this Western Fields Qilin Hunt. to be your ally is my, Qifeng’s, honor.”
The woman’s transformation was extremely abrupt, immediately changing into smiling and reverent attitude.
“So you are ‘Dragon Of Pushan’ Lady Li Mi. To be able to make Li Mi’s acquaintance is also Your Servant’s honor.” Lu Xuanjing very tactfully complimented her.
Then, Zhou Qifeng and Lu Xuanjing both looked at Chen Mo, hoping he would also lower himself to their level and curry favor with Li Mi.
Chen Mo had no interest in doing so, “Qingyi, if we want to join forces, I’m afraid it’s too late to find the other Qilin Cubs when the Western Fields are so vast.”
“What this Fellow says is true. Joining forces with other Qilin Cubs is a very good idea, but when the qilin is already on the hunt, how do we find them?” Zhou Panlong said.
“It would be impossible for a thousand Qilin Cubs to work together. Of course, there is no need to, for there must be some prey to leave for the qilin.” Lu Xuanjing smiled: “We only need to find Lords Of Heaven and Star Generals. As fr Heavenly Emperors, Great Sages, and Earthly Immortals, they are nothing more than burdens. On the contrary, this would be a convenience to them.” Saying this, Lu Xuanjing glanced at Chen Mo, his implication clear.
“Self-awareness is indeed very good.” Chen Mo nodded.
Lu Xuanjing was taken aback and suddenly recalled that he was Universe Origin Three Boundaries. His expresison became a bit unsightly. He was but a disciple of one of the Ten Great Sects, the Three Thousand Sword Ocean. How could other cultivators be mentioned in the same sentence as him.
Truly a short-sighted person.
Lu Xuanjing inwardly sneered.
“Lords Of Heaven and Star Generals came to the Western Fields with their own goals, and their concealment techniques are such that we may not find them even after the Qilin hunts us.” Zhou Panlong jeered. Lu Xuanjing’s idea was not very feasible.
Li Mi pondered.
“I have a friend, perhaps she can help us.”
“Lady Li Mi’s friend? Then she must also be an exceptional Star Name, but we are in the Western Fields. I fear she will not be able to help us.” Lu Xuanjing softly reminded.
“Even if we are in the Western Fields, she can also come in.” Li Qingyi’s expression was calm.
“Eh?”
Chen Mo and the others were a bit baffled.
The Western Fields was a dimension the Qilin Martial Emperor refined. Only when she used her Star Energy to activate it could other parties enter. Normally, there was no chance at all. To enter the world that the Qilin Martial Emperor created, could this friend be on the level of a Star Marquis?”
“She is of the School Of Diplomacy.”
Li QIngyu’s subsequent words caught everyone off guard.
“School Of Diplomacy.”
Chen Mo could not help but raise his eyebrows. The School Of Diplomacy was not very strong among the Hundred Schools Of Thought. From the perspective of member count, they did not compare to even some of the unknown groups of the “Hundred Schools.” But in terms of their fame, the School Of Diplomacy was on the same level as Confucianism and Daoism.
The School Of Diplomacy was founded by Gui Guzi, and its disciples were very few in number. The school had a particular characteristic, which was that it could use a “Vertical And Horizontal Split” art to travel freely throughout Star World. Star World’s barriers did not exist to one of the School Of Diplomacy. The profound School Of Diplomacy could link Star World into one, and they possessed powerful Star ENergy. Even from a talent perspective, the School Of Diplomacy was outstanding.
However, its disciples were in great decline. It had already been a very long time since anyone had heard rumor of the School Of Diplomacy.
Currently, the most famous of the school was neither Su Qin nor Zhang Yi, but Su Mian of the Xuannü Seven Stars.
“She would not happen to be Dream In A Millennium, would she?” Lu Xuanjing was a bit excited.
Li Mi was expressionless, paying him no heed. She produced a jade pendant and chanted.
After a moment, she then sat down to the side and looked at the Purple Rose Treasure Chest.
Zhou Panlong and Lu Xuanjing sat clse by, whispering to each other.
Chen Mo walked to Li Qingyi’s side and then sat down. “Why not open this Purple Rose Treasure Chest?”
“This is nothing more than a fake.” Li Mi scoffed.
“A fake?”
“The Qilin Martial Emperor uses the Purple Rose chest as bait to draw Star Generals into the Western Fields. This chest uses a bit of Purple Rose qi. Those who have never seen one before would fall under the assumption that this is a Purple Rose Treasure Chest.” Li Mi had come to the Western Fields before and had been fooled by this chest once.
Chen Mo had also heard that Purple Rose Star Generals were capable of cultivating Purple Rose qi. He never imagined that Liu Hongyu would use such a method.
She truly was a scheming bitch.
“However, we can use this chest to deceive Zhou Panlong.” Li Qingyi smiled.
Knowing that the Purple Rose chest was fake, Chen Mo was a bit disappointed. “Right, you said when you came to the Qilin Star Kingdom, you went to see a friend. Was that friend the one from the School Of Diplomacy?”
“En…Mo Chen. Do not tell me you do not have a plan to deal with the aftermath of hunting the qilin.” Li Mi flatly said.
Chen Mo smiled. It seemed that Li Qingyi was also aware that if they actually killed or injured the Whit Tiger, the Qilin martial Emperor would certainly not leave the matter alone. They were also within the Martial Emperor’s domain. They needed to consider their escape very carefully.
Chen Mo had the Three Worlds Immortal Movement Pendant, and Li Qingyi had a friend from the School of Diplomacy. When the time came, she would give the word and have the School Of Diplomacy take her through Star World and escape the Western Fields.
Although Heavenly Spirit Star Generals were able to travel through Star Worlds, there were limits and restrictions. The School Of Diplomacy’s travel was free and natural, and even a Star Marquis would be left in the dust.
“I wonder who she is from the School Of Diplomacy.” Many names came to Chen Mo’s mind, including Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Chu Liji, and Zhu Fuyan.
“Your Servant does not know her Star Name at all.” The appearance of Li Qingyi stroking her chin in thought was quite adorable.
“You don’t even know?” Chen Mo was a bit surprised.
Li Qingyi nodded.
She became acquainted with this good friend of hers back when she struggled against Li Shimin. Back then, the fame of “Ten Thousand Worlds Divine Weapon” Li Shimin shook Star World, and even the Central Star Field was somewhat afraid. Later, this good friend appeared and helped her “Vertical Alliance” in Star World join with “Grand General Of Heavenly Strategies” Li Yuan,4 “Hidden Crown Prince” Li Jiancheng, “Prince Of Qi” Li Yuanji, and others in contention for hegemony of the Star Field.
But this generation’s Star Name “Li Shimin” was honestly too powerful, and she still crushed them. In the end, Li Qingyi relied on this good friend’s Vertical And Horizontal Gate Splitter art to flee. Afterward, Li Mi’s vitality was greatly injured, and news of her Star Name disappeared.
“To unite so many hegemons and dare to go contend against Li Shimin takes a lot of courage.” Chen Mo faintly sighed. Could she be the Six State Minister Appointment Su Qin?
“She never told Your Servant her Star Name, but Your Servant knows that others in Star World address her as the Mysterious Star World Chauffeur.” Li Mi was pensive.
Chen Mo nearly spat out his beverage.
Mysterious Star World Chauffeur.
This nickname left him a bit speechless.
As she said this, Li Mi’s eyes glowed. She rose, and her slender exposed body nearly made Chen Mo’s gaze glue to her.
“She is here.” Li Qingyi did not pay him any heed.
Space slowly opened like a stream, and a gorgeous chariot trotted out upon the river-like space.
It was towed by two horned unicorn lynx Fierce Beasts, its imperial canopy gleamed with multi-colored light, and it had a bronze chassis, covered in every kind of ancient script.
A chariot luxurious to the extreme.
This chariot’s name was the “Lunar Rainbow Thousand Chariot,”5 and it was the Chaueffeur’s Star Weapon.
A young woman rode upon the chariot. She was about fourteen years old. Her hair was black, with her bangs parted to the left. She had dark black eyes, and a pure black jacket over her shoulders. Her skirt was like a blooming black rose while she wore white stockings. Brilliant black jewels were embedded in her long riding boots that came up over her knees.
The feeling she gave at first glance was purely “dark.” Any pinprick of light would be swalloed by her abyssal eyes.
“Li Qingyi, do we prepare to flee now? Yan’er6 thought you could last a few more days.” The girl softly said.
“Zhiyan.”7 Li QIngyi said. “I did not call you this time to aid my escape.”
“Really?” The girl named Zhiyan propped up her chin, her black eyes exceptionally astute. “Then is this brute who is staring at your thighs your man?”
“Hm?” Li Mi was taken aback and lowered her head.
Chen Mo turned his gaze and uprighteously said: “I was only lost in my thoughts wondering who Little Sister is in the School Of Diplomacy.”
“Are you calling me ‘Little Sister?'” Zhiyan asked.
“Could there be any address other than ‘Little Sister’ that can demonstrate our friendly relationship?”
“Li Qingyi…” Zhiyan said: “Can I throw your man to the Primeval Chaos Star World?”
“He is not my man…And now is not the time to chat…” Li Qingyi wrinkled her brow.
“He is not dead yet despite sticking so close to you. Yan’er is not a three year old child.”
Li Qingyi was a bit flustered by these words. She did not notice that Chen Mo was sitting so close to her. “For this Qilin Hunt, Mo Chen is Your Servant’s comrade…Zhiyan…After this is finished, you can whisk him away. Your Servant will not interfere, but right now, I need your help.”
Looking at Li Mi’s serious and earnest expression.
The little girl finally retracted her frivolous attitude.
