Even if it was by some fluke, Li Shimin could not tolerate Tuoba Tao obtaining the power of the Ten Thousand Sages Hall. She could ignore Zhu Yuanzhang, but she nevertheless had no choice but to focus on the Buddha-killing Ghost. The two of them had held grievances against one another for ages and opposed each other in equal measure. In particular, it was said that the previous Tuoba Tao Star Name had once achieved the feat of “great persecution of Buddhists.” How could the current Tuoba Tao not wish to recreate such glory. The expansion in influence of any one faction was troublesome to another.
Just as Tuoba Tao was confident she could use the “Ten Thousand Barbarians Palm” to refine Zhu Yuanzhang’s intent left behind in the Ten Thousand Sages Hall, Li Liangyi was unable to sit idly by any longer.
Eternal Divine Warrior Li Shimin emitted killing intent. The Lingyan Pavilion’s Twenty-four Meritorious Officials were like fierce tigers as they pounced towards the Ten Thousand Sages Hall.
“Heroic Crowned Talent” Zhangsun Wuji revealed her own Star Weapon, a Seven Star box named “Earth And Grain Box.” The box opened, shining with the magnificent light of mountains and rivers, covering all of the Lingyan Pavilion’s officials. They were all protected by the lights of earth and grain.
Heavenly General Star “General Descended From Heaven” Li Jing’s footsteps were easygoing as she stepped on empty space. The divine spear in her hand was crafted from essence gold, forged with Nine Heavens Black Iron. Surprisingly, there was no killing intent on the weapon, but anyone who saw Li Jing could distinctly sense an intimidation more frightening than killing intent. This intimidation seemed to be the will of Heaven itself. Li Jing had a divine reputation the likes of Maiden Mountain, “Pagoda Bearing Heavenly King,” and the woman herself was like a god. Her expression was resolute, her eyes like dry wells. She was careful in her mannerisms and was full of intimidation.
“General Descended From Heaven” Li Jing unleashed her own Star Weapon, the “Strategy And Tactics Hidden Talisman Spear.” Countless spear-lights descended like a meteor shower, extremely vast, pelting the Ten Thousand Sages Hall.
At the same time, the Lingyan Pavilion’s other officials, “Black Fiend Ghost General” Yuchi Gong, “White Fiend God General” Qin Qiong, “Spread Fear To Subdue Enemies” Hou Junji Hou Xihan, and the rest also used full power.
The Buddha-killing Ghost’s evil qi was chilling. Faced with Li Shimin’s forces, she did not dare be careless, “Yuwen Tai!”
“Tai is present!” A woman with a tattoo on her head, wearing black palace dress and draped in a cloak, stepped forth.
Heavenly Black Star “Dominating Heavenly Master” Yuwen Tai, the head of the Xianbei Star Kingdom’s Eight Pillars Kingdom. Like Li Cunxu, she was rumored to be a character to have cultivated Purple Rose True Qi more proficiently than a Star Marquis. Her strength was not necessarily inferior to “God Of War Made Duke” Guo Ziyi.
“Show no mercy, take good care of the Heavenly Tang Star Kingdom’s people.” Tuoba Tao sneered.
Yuwen Tai’s black pupils were like an abyss, her gaze chilling. She took out an eerie black iron weapon. This sword had two blades, with the hilt at the center. When held, upright, it showed an H-shape, an extremely strange weapon. The two blades were etched with strange and gorgeous patterns.
It twinkled with eight stars.
This Star Weapon’s name was “Evil Extreme.”1
“As you command.”
The woman was expressionless. She faced Li Jing’s technique, with Evil Extreme emitting a black tendril that completely blotted out the ten thousand stars’ spear-lights. Subsequently, her figure moved, scuttling into the midst of the Lingyan Pavilion Officials. The Eight Pillars Kingdom and the Fubing Twelve Generals each used their abilities as well.
Li Jing’s expression was stiff, impressively dignified. To borrow a phrase from the Hidden Talisman Classic, “the graceful spear braces the two gods, yet there is no one else.” In the eyes of General Descended From Heaven, every opponent she faced was unimpressive, and all techniques were intolerably crude.
“Follow orders, no mistakes!” Yuwen Tai used her Dark Rank. Her Realm was extremely powerful. One move from her Xuannü Realm Late Stage immediately repelled Qin Qiong, Hou Junji, and the others. Li Jing raised the Strategy And Tactics Hidden Talisman Spear, unperturbed, and the spear quelled all of the energy.
Evil Extreme fired a black lightning bolt that descended towards Li Jing.
Li Jing responded with Dark Rank “Six Armies Mirror.”
Six mirror-like shields appeared around her, completely blocking Yuwen Tai’s sharp attack. The General Descended From Heaven’s figure flickered, and she suddenly vanished from Yuwen Tai’s vision.
What?
Dominating Heavenly Master was not even able to track Li Jing’s speed.
By the time she sensed her, Li Jing had already reappeared above. Golden light radiated, honestly like a god descended from Heaven, her power unblockable.
Astonishingly, this was Earth Rank – Godfall!
“Tuoba Tao, if you provoke Elder Sister’s wrath, this will bring about your own doom.” Heavenly Bite Star “Halfway Demon King” Cheng Yaojin said loudly, her facial features delicate and pretty. Her eyes were like bells, and she wielded her Star Weapon, the Bagua Broad Ax, the axe-wind of which was fierce. Her Innate Skill was “Triple Broad Axe,” which allowed her to fully combine her Yellow, Dark, and Earth Rank into a single attack. It was extremely powerful, and of the Fubing Twelve Generals, “King Of Huai’an” Yuan Yu was caught off-guard and subsequently killed by Cheng Yaojin’s Triple Broad Axe.
Yuan Zan and Yuan Kuo of the Twelve Generals were also no match for the Halfway Demon King, being left in wretched states.
“You pissants dare to act impudent in front of This Lady.” The woman grinned widely, her Bagua Borad Axe’s cold light was pervasive, leaving the two beaten black and blue.
All of a sudden, a spiraling arrow shot over.
This arrow was like an abyss, its power cascading. Cheng Yaojin was taken aback. She spotted a white-clothed woman confidently shoot arrows from a distance. “One Arrow Peerage” Yuwen Gui could be rates as the most outstanding fo the Fubing Twelve Generals. Her archery was perfection, not losing out at all to Three Arrows Set Heavenly Mountain Xue Rengui.
“Now, you dare to be impudent.” Cheng Yaojin lunged.
Yuwen Gui remained calm. She gently nocked “Falling Feather,” using Dim Dusk Falling Feather. Arrow-light seemed to break out of the underworld in an endless stream. The Bagua Broad Axe endlessly defended, and Triple Broad Axe broke, forcing Cheng Yaojin onto her back foot.
Yuan Zan and Yuan Kuo, who had bided their time, immediately divebombed Cheng Yaojin like condors.
…
The chest of the Lingyan Pavilion Twenty-four Official’s “Upholding Fairness Everywhere” Qutu Tong was punched open with a bloody hole. A corkscrewing spear churned in her chest, grinding her life apart. The woman’s mouth hung agape. She looked to Li Shimin, and then she Starfell.
The one who killed her was a woman who possessed an extremely handsome face. Unlike a feminine beauty, it was filled with masculinity.
“Are the Lingyan Pavilion’s Twenty-four Officials unable to block Your Servant’s Earth Rank ‘Dragon Fang Piercer?'” This woman who was as handsome as a young man licked her lips. She clenched her hand, recalling the Spiraling Spear to her hand, behaving extremely conceited.
“Dugu Xin!! You will die today for certain!” A thunderous roar. Two women attacked her from the front.
One had skin as tan as wheat, a countenance that concealed an evil grimness. She was “Black Fiend Ghost General” Yuchi Gong.
The other had skin as white as snow, bright and glowing, and a complexion like a jade talisman; she was “White Fiend God General” Qin Qiong.
The two were biological sisters, and they were among the strongest generals of the Lingyan pavilion. Because they often stuck to each other like shadows, they possessed the nickname of “God And Ghost Attendants” in the Heavenly Tang Star Kingdom. As long as they were present, any malicious spirit would be repelled.
“The two door gods are not sticking to the gate like they are supposed to. Do you also wish to show your might before Your Servant?” Dugu Xin laughed. She was indescribably outstanding. Heavenly Yuan Star “Bloody Solitary Excellence” Dugu Xin was second only to Yuwen Tai in position within the Eight Pillars Kingdom.
Yuchi Gong and Qin Qiong yelled. “Dugu Ruyuan, you will Starfall!”
One of them held a truncheon, the other a whip.
Dugu Ruyuan raised her own weapon, the corkscrew spear, “Jialuo.”2 The spear-wind spiraled out as a storm, promptly clashing fiercely with Yuchi Gong and Qin Qiong.
At the same time, Hou Junji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and the other Lingyan Pavilion officials battled the Eight Pillars Kingdom’s Hầu Mạc Trần Hưng and Yu Jin as well as the Bingfu Twelve Generals’ Yuwen Dao, Daxi Wu, Hầu Mạc Trần Sùng and more. Add on their armies, the entire battlefield was very violent, much more shocking than the battle against the Brocade Uniform Guard.
“Elder Sister, what do we do?” The Thirteen Adopted Daughters were puzzled.
“Lord Overseeing All Under Heaven” Li Cunxu acted as a bystander. She glanced at Su Mian: “This is a dispute between two Great Star Marquis. We need not interfere. For this subjugation, we need only discharge our own duties. I do not care for anything else.” Li Cunxu coldly declared.
Whether it was Li Shimin or Tuoba Tao, they both were very powerful Star Marquis. A battle between the two large Star Kingdoms would inevitably result in massive casualties to both sides. To the other Star Kingdoms, this was a good thing.
Not only her, the others also adopted the stance of watching the two tigers fight from afar.
“Your Majesty, will you not go dissuade them?” Dongzi asked in astonishment.
“This is a grudge between them, so let them resolve it. On the other hand, have you still not found Zhu Yuanzhang, Dongzi?” Zhu Yuanzhang was already enough of a headache. If these two Star Marquis wanted to slaughter each other, that was all the better. It would save her trouble down the line.
“If Li Shimin and Tuoba Tao can harness the Ten Thousand Sages Hall, that would be better. Right now, finding Zhu Jiujiu is paramount. Can it be she still has not been found?” Su Mian wrinkled her brow and asked.
“We are already searching with all our strength. If she wants to refine the Great Ming, she cannot have fled too far.” Dongzi said.
“This Palace fears she deceived us into coming here by using the Ten Thousand Sages Hall as bait while she herself has long already hid herself to cultivate the Great Ming.” Su Mian said in worry.
Dong Zhongshu felt a sense of foreboding after hearing this.
“But regardless, we should make the Central Star Field assume control of the Ten Thousand Sages Hall.” Dong Zhongshu narrowed her eyes. The hall contained several Star Eras’ worth of sage True Spirits and power. If she could obtain it and refine it, perhaps she could easily break through the bottleneck of an eternal Star Name.
“It would be prudent for us to wait until they have killed each other off first.” Su Mian agreed.
At this time, Holy Goddess Wu Zhao also led the “Five Wives” Lijun Xianmu, Di Renjie and the rest to help Li Liangyi seize the Ten Thousand Sages Hall. Although the Divine Dragon Star Kingdom was weak, they were sufficient to suppress and defeat the Xianbei Star Kingdom if they joined with the Heavenly Tang Star Kingdom.
Su Mian’s expression fluctuated.
“Wu Zhao, you had best not be overly concerned about a fight between Star Marquis.” Qilin martial Emperor Liu Che Liu Hongyu stopped the Divine Dragon Star Kingdom’s advance.
“Liu Che, you are the one who is overly concerned. Stop obstructing Us!” Wu Zhao shouted.
“If do not want you to destroy such an exquisite show.” Liu Hongyu faintly grinned.
“Will you become our enemies, too?” Wu Zhao hissed.
Liu Hongyu did not answer.
Wu Zhao thrust a palm. Her Purple Rose Star Energy fired a purple light straight into the sky. Two swords slashed, breaking her attack. Qilin Martial Emperor Liu Hongyu issued her final notice. “I am bored, too, so I will play with your Divine Dragon Star Kingdom.”
Wu Zhao gnashed her teeth, unleashing her Star Energy without holding back.
In an instant, the entirety of Ming City was plunged into a war between Star Marquis.
Li Ziyan, Wang Dao, and the rest glanced at each other. This situation was a bit outside of their expectations.
“Master, shall we go help?” Jiang Yanyu asked.
“Since Her Majesty Mian is unconcerned, we need not do anything superfluous. Tell the disciples to immediately go search for Zhu Yuanzhang’s whereabouts. Even if we are to dig, we must find her.” Li Bai softly said.
“Very well.”
