That qi of purple light was like the Supreme Ultimate, dispersing Liu Xiu and Liu Che’s Yellow Rank, emerging easily from under the frightening power of two Great Star Marquis. Chen Mo was simply dumbstruck.
An exquisitely beautiful young woman emerged from the purple light.
She wore a muscovite purple skirt, green jade, and thin silk. An ornament of purple gold covered her forehead, and her hair flowed like a river. She walked out from the purple light, truly an immortal descended from Heaven. Purple qi coiled around the girl’s fingers, containing the power of Purple Cloud East Approaches, and collected Liu Che’s green light and Liu Xiu’s white light.
Liu Xiu and Liu Che were unfazed upon seeing the girl. Liu Hongyu used her Heavenly Qi and Earthly Lin Swords to continue her assault, her speed extremely swift. Not even her shadow was visible. The purple clothed girl faintly smiled and became a ray of purple light. Chen Mo was unable to see them clearly. The girl was surprisingly capable of trading blows against a Star Marquis. Her speed was actually not inferior to the two Star Marquis.
Chen Mo could not help but inwardly sigh.
He possessed the strongest Black Turtle defense, and now he obtained the White Tiger’s attack. But speed was his greatest deficiency. Ever since he arrived in the Inner Star Fields from the Outer Star Fields, he had not obtained a strong escape technique. Even though he made quick escapes using his cultivation, so much so that he was not inferior to Universe Origin Realm, a martial artist like himself was still very lacking compared to these first-rate Star Generals.
However, these people all gathered Destiny on themselves. Those in Star World who were this strong could be counted on fingers.
Everyone’s attention was drawn by appearance of the young girl in purple clothes. Huo Guang’s eyes widened. She stared at Chen Mo and suddenly drew her sword.
The Eight Star “Demon Glow” unleashed a blinding sword-light at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo’s Star Energy had yet to recover. He did not expect to face this attack.
A figure blocked in front of him; the Star Weapon in Jing Dan’s hand intercepted this sword-light. Huo Guang did not utter a word as she lifted her sword to attack Chen Mo. Chen Mo did not think that Jing Dan would shield him from this slash. The girl grit her teeth and defended with all her might using the thin sword in her hand.
“Do not be a hindrance.” Nameless Sword’s gaze was like ice, completely without mercy.
The Black Turtle Flying Swords appeared out of thin air, forming sword-shields that warded off Huo Guang’s attack. Chen Mo stood in front of the girl and moved his Divine Intent, making the Flying Swords slash Huo Guang. Huo Guang was expressionless as Demon Glow horizontally swept.
A purple light stopped Huo Guang’s long sword and restrained the Black Turtle Flying Swords.
The purple clothed girl instantly appeared between them, “Are you two also going to cause trouble for This Palace?”
The Star Marquis stopped their battle. “Hmph.” Liu Hongyu appeared in front of the Qilin Pavilion officials once again.
Liu Houxiu also returned amidst the Cloud Terrace generals.
“Jing Dan, are you alright.”
“I am fine.” Blood dribbled out of the corner of Jing Dan’s mouth. She shook her head. The wounds caused by an Eight Star Star Weapon was not minor.
“Why did you help defend me.” Chen Mo was surprised. “I could have stopped that myself.”
“Hmph!!” Jing Dan turned away, not wishing to see him.
“Damn you, Huo Guang. For better or worse, you are the head of the Qilin Pavilion, yet you actually would sneak attack.” Deng Yu’s expression darkened as she brought out her poleaxe.
“Cease.”
Liu Xiu stopped the fury of the Cloud Terrace generals.
Huo Guang turned a deaf ear and continued to attack Chen Mo. The Nameless Sword’s figure flickered, and her presence completely vanished.
The purple clothed woman swung her palm. Seventy-two purple swords flew forth, forcing Huo Guang out like immortals descending from beyond the heavens. These Seventy-two Outer Void Flying Immortals Swords were renowned throughout Star World, and they were not inferior to Destined Star Weapons. Huo Guang’s expression was dim as she swung her sword to defend.
The seventy-two purple swords became heavenly immortals that even Huo Guang was unable to defend against.
She had no choice but to withdraw.
“Huo Guang, kneel!” The purple clothed girl coldly said, not at all planning to let her go.
Hearing the girl strictly issue orders, Huo Guang’s expression slightly changed. Her eyes were like a tiger’s, yet she did not plan to concede either.
“You dare to show impropriety before This Palace. Kneel!” The purple clothed girl’s eyes were sharp and keen.
Huo Guang glanced at the Martial Emperor. Liu Hongyu’s eyes faintly hinted.
The Nameless Sword fell to a knee and lowered her head: “Subordinate Huo Guang has offended Your Majesty. Please forgive this transgression, Your Majesty!”
“Enough, you were thinking of Me, Guang.” The Qilin Martial Emperor slightly smiled: “Your Majesty Mian, perhaps you can forgive her rudeness.”
The purple qi receded, and the Flying Immortals Swords returned into the girl’s body.
Knowing she was unable to take any action against Huo Guang, the purple clothed girl nodded, no longer paying her any attention.
“Why are the rest of you still not saluting Her Majesty.” Liu Che said.
Only then did the Qilin Pavilion officials promptly follow etiquette towards royal family of the Central Star Field.
“We greet Your Majesty Mian!”
At the same time, Liu Xiu’s Cloud Terrace generals also respectfully greeted her.
Other than the two great Star Marquis and Chen Mo, all Star Generals acknowledge allegiance to her. This situation and grandeur rocked straight through Chen Mo’s heart.
“This man is not kneeling after seeing the Purple Rose Empress. Seems he indeed wants to die.” Liu Hongyu sneered.
Chen Mo’s upright figure stuck out like a sore thumb amidst everyone else.
Chen Mo came to his senses and immediately followed everyone.
Regardless of strength or resolution, the girl in front of his eyes made him prostrate himself in admiration, unable to say anything.
“Everyone no need to be so formal. Please, rise.” The purple clothed girl said.
“Rumor is that Sister Hongyu’s Yuanshou has already ended early, that the ‘qilin’ has finally been hunted by a hero. Mian’er bids you congratulations.” The Purple Rose Empress congratulated Liu Hongyu. “I wonder why then that you and Sister Houxiu are pointing blades at one another? Sisters, you must not let emotions affect your decisions.”
The girl’s black pupils shifted, gazing at the two of them.
“I am here precisely because of the Yuanshou.” Liu Hongyu sneered.
“Answering to Your Majesty. The Martial Emperor came to invite the ‘hunting champion,’ this young hero, back to the Weiyang Palace for a celebratory banquet. The fact of the matter is that Liu Xiu obstructed us and took him away. The Martial Emperor had no choice but to take action.” Zhang Anshi seized her chance to interject an explanation.
“Then Little Sister is wrong indeed.” The purple clothed girl smiled. “Sister Houxiu is frank and honest, her heart like still water. There must be some sort of misunderstanding.”
Misunderstanding?!
Liu Hongyu pursed her lips, seemingly smiling yet not.
“Your Majesty, Tayan was saved by Chen Mo during the Yuanshou. Furthermore, he was injured and in no condition to attend any so-called banquet. The Princess took him into the Star Mansion Palace to recuperate his wounds.” Ma Tayan dragged her not yet mended body and stood out in front.
“Chen Mo?” The purple-clothed girl listened to this name.
“Your Servant is Chen Mo, alias Mo Chen.” Chen Mo introduced himself.
“A talent that appears once every few centuries, the qilin that not even first-rate Star Generals could handle has surprisingly been hunted by a man. Even This Palace would like to bring such a talent into the court. No wonder Elder Sisters would behave this way.” The young lady smiled. “I wonder what your thoughts are?”
“The Martial Emperor is kind, but Your Servant is indeed in a difficult position. Your Servant will definitely personally pay a visit to the Weiyang Palace.” Chen Mo calmly said.
“What did you say.” Zhang Anshi and the rest were dissatisfied.
The purple-clothed girl thrust her palm towards Chen Mo. Chen Mo was taken aback, having not expected her to make a move against him. He blocked, but that palmprint was extremely ferocious. The palm struck his body, wracking his internal organs with pain. The Black Turtle True Spirit appeared, finally stabilizing him.
No one expected the purple-clothed girl to take action.
Chen Mo looked at the girl, a trace of blood dribbling out the corner of his mouth.
“This Palace cannot bear to watch this anymore. If not for Sister Hongyu’s kindness in convening the Yuanshou, what qualifications would you have to ‘hunt qilin.’ Now, Elder Sister has invited you for celebration, but you refuse her. No wonder Elder Sister Hongyu is furious. Even This Palace is angry.” The girl shook her head.
Ma Tayan wanted to say something else, but owing to the young woman’s status, she could only stay silent.
“However…You are indeed injured. There is also the soul of the White Tiger inside your body. To refine this soul requires the suffering of being cut to pieces…To participate in a banquet in such a condition would disgrace the Weiyang Longevity.”1 The girl’s tone shifted. She said to Liu Hongyu: “This Palace, then, has a suggestion. Why not let this man mend his wounds, then thoroughly refine the White Tiger’s True Spirit. By then, he will be able to go to the Weiyang Palace in grand fashion. How could this not give Elder Sister face.”
“What does Sister Hongyu feel about Little Sister’s proposal?”
The girl’s words were neither cold not hot. Her every movement and gesture was easygoing and relaxed. Her words could not be refuted, nor could they be argued against in the slightest.
The Cloud Terrace generals were a bit impressed.
Zhang Anshi and the others did not utter a word. They did not dare to oppose her. This woman was the ruler of the Central Star Field, a personage that could be said to be above all others, Huo Guang just now, for example.
“This proposal is not good.” Liu Hongyu was expressionless.
“Oh.” The girl slightly smiled. Not a bit of displeasure could be seen on her face.
“I wanted to personally ask this man. If he can reply with a ‘no,’ then I can consider Your Highness’ proposal.” The implication of Liu Hongyu’s words gave the purple-clothed girl face, but at the same time, they wanted to make this man’s face sweep the ground.
The purple-clothed girl understood her intentions.
“Of course, This Palace will not stop Elder Sister from asking.”
“Princess, Liu Hongyu wants to destroy his White Tiger’s soul.” Ma Yuan weakly said.
Liu Houxiu grunted, staring at Chen Mo in silence.
Everyone realized what would happen next. To dare come into direct confrontation with the Martial Emperor, the consequences absolutey were not simple; they would be even more severe than a battle against a top-notch Star General.
“Very well.”
Chen Mo took a few steps forward and arrived not far in front of the Qilin Martial Emperor.
The Qilin Martial Emperor was honestly beautiful. Her snow-white shoulders were exposed, her cleavage bountiful. She had phoenix eyes and red lips, a restrained domineering aura, and beauty that could topple a city. Just glancing at her gave a person enormous pressure.
“I ask you of you…Will! You! Refuse! Me! Right! Now!” A sequence of words and pauses broke from her red lips.
Powerful, heavenly might charged straight through Chen Mo’s heart. The power of a wisp of purple qi blew like a hurricane through the Star Field. Even the Cloud Terrace Star Generals were blown backwards by the force, feeling stifled.
She actually used Purple Rose qi.
Liu Hongyu’s question contained her powerful Star Energy. This type of direct question was even more fearsome than Huo Guang’s Earth Rank just now. His Star Energy not yet recovered, Chen Mo was basically unable to withstand it. Every pore in his body ached with scorching pain. All of his strength was sucked away, and his body could not help but be pushed back.
Chen Mo’s eyes were resolute. He grit his teeth, and the Black Turtle’s True Spirit appeared behind him, like the Five Sacred Mountains under Heaven. Under Liu Hongyu’s formidable pressure, the Four Symbols True Spirit Black Turtle was unable to last and vanished.
Chen Mo hung his head powerlessly, breathless.
The Cloud Terrace officers’ hearts tightened. The Qilin Pavilion Star Generals took joy in watching the house burn. This man’s Primordial Spirit was perhaps already destroyed under the Martial Emperor’s divine might.
“Hm?” Liu Hongyu raised her eyebrows.
His breathing was suddenly steady as a boulder. Chen Mo lifted his head, his expression steadfast. Everyone’s hearts chilled.
“Thank you for the favor, Martial Emperor. Chen Mo will surely return this next time!”
She saw those eyes that were as firm as steel, more invincible than a beast, nay, a Holy Beast’s. Back then, she made the White Tiger submit, but this time, she was unable to make a man kneel.
Liu Hongyu had never seen such a man.
Interesting.
“When the cicadas being to sing, when the crow-dippers grow; I give you half a year. A banquet awaits you at Rippling Water Hall.”
“This Palace acts as witness for Elder Sister.”
Liu Hongyu laughed. Such a man should be toyed with slowly.
“Martial Emperor.”
This was the first time the Qilin Pavilion officials had ever seen the Martial Emperor laugh.
“Send the order, have the Qilin Army withdraw. We return to the Star Kingdom!”
Liu Hongyu waved her sleeve and turned around.
Bright light covered her, and she vanished in a flash.
All of the strength in Chen Mo’s body seemed to be sucked dry. His entire body was nearly paralyzed.
The purple-clothed girl grabbed his wrist. The young lady’s hand gently lifted Chen Mo to his feet, imbuing strength into his meridians.
“Many thanks to Your Majesty Purple Rose for the aid just now.” Chen Mo knew that although she struck him just now, she secretly also imbued him with Purple Qi Star Energy. She apparently foresaw the Martial Emperor’s actions, and he used this Star Energy to finally block the Star Marquis’ power.
“Don’t mention it, call This Palace Su Mian.”
“Dream In A Millennium” Su Mian.
