Maiden Galaxy

Mount Hua.

Sun Yingmeng was in the middle of decocting herbs. The white fox Daji sat on the girl's shoulder. At some point in time, her relationship with the King Of Medicine had become very close. Cold Blooded Beauty Yang Su sat upright and still across from them, appearing refined and elegant.

Under the King Of Medicine's care these past few days, Yang Su's wounds were already mostly mended. It was very difficult to imagine that these results actually came from the hand of an Earthly Star General.

"Doctor Simiao, have you not ascended to Heavenly Star?" Yang Su asked.

"Is Confucianism so fond of calling others doctors?" Sun Yingmeng was a bit uncomfortable to be addressed as such: "This Lady is only eighteen, delicate as a flower. I am not so old."

"Just call me Yingmeng." Sun Yingmeng twitched her mouth, for she was not fond of Yang Su. "After treating you, I should more or less be able to ascend to Heavenly Star."

"Lady Yingmeng, you are not a disciple of Mount Hua. Why, then, do you continue to linger here? Though Mount Hua is in no shortage of rare and precious materials, this place is not safe at all."

"Do you mean to make This Lady run?"

"Star World's Five Moons. Even Mount Tai of the School Of The Military has already died out. The Central Star Field is already unable to tolerate the existences of the Five Moons that nurture Star Generals. And the Master Of Heaven And Man Dongzi shares this sentiment as well, in order to dismiss the Hundred Schools. Mount Hua is one of the Five Moons. I fear, things will be very dangerous."

"Your Servant's Star Name has already died once. I am not afraid of dying again."

"Then how can This Girl run. If you actually go to war with Yang Guang, then when the time comes that you are all injured, who will help treat you." Sun Yingmeng beamed widely. Then, she turned pensive: "However, what you say is true, Yang Su. This Girl is only Earthly Star. This kind of healing is too slow, and it requires some magic to work. It seems This Girl should find an opportunity to ascend to Heavenly Star."

Yang Su smiled: "Since Lady Yingmeng has decided, then Chesu shall say no more."

The two of them chatted. All of a sudden, Yang Chesu's expression chilled. She lifted her gaze and stared out beyond the mountain.

"Hm? What is the matter?" Sun Yingmeng was perplexed.

"I never imagined she would act so quickly…It seems I underestimated Dongzi's audacity." Yang Chesu elegant dressed up in her white brocade. Looking at Sun Yingmeng's bewildered expression, the Cold Blooded Beauty took a deep breath. "Yang Guang has already launched her assault. It seems, Lady Yingmeng, you could not flee even if you wanted to."

"Huh??"

Mount Hua, main hall.

Tan Daoji, Yu Juluo, Lu Guang, and the rest walked out of the hall one after another. Along the horizon, the sea of clouds broke apart, and countless ships emerged. Surprisingly, they had surrounded Mount Hua on all sides.

Countless troops blockaded them, blotting out the sun. An enormous shadow suddenly loomed over Mount Hua, and even the spiritual power of Heaven and Earth seemed to vanish in an instant.

The gates to the main hall opened, and a white-haired girl walked out.

"Ancestor!"

Tan Daoji and the others looked one after another at the girl who served as the current headmaster, Sleeping Immortal Ancestor Chen Tuan.

Chen Xian'er opened her eyes, her gaze ethereal, like a silent, ancient lake.

"This Yang Guang is so bold, to actually attack the mountain."

"Is she disregarding the Central Star Field?" Yu Juluo furrowed her brow.

Chen Xian'er pointed her finger, activating Mount Hua's array. A mist concealed the mountain range, and the army's oppression vanished into thin air. Without uttering a word, the girl stepped forth, instantly arriving in front of the mountain gate.

Outside the mountain gate.

Yang Guang was draped in an elaborate dragon robe and wore ceremonial garb, standing loftily like a ruler on top of her dragon carriage. "Heavenly Cavalry General" Shi Wansui, "Self-proclaimed Great General" Heruo Bi, "Heavenly King Of Dongxia" Zhang Xutuo, "Palmheld Coiled Dragon" Han Qinhu and other Star Generals stood to the left and right.

On the other side, purple flower petals fluttered, descending like a waterfall. Luan and phoenixes flew, their flight gorgeous.

Sixteen Star Marquis "Imperial Empress Of Bedfellows" Fu Jian and the Amrita Seven Grands Wang Meng, Zhang Li, Deng Qiang, Yao Chang, and others stood in tight formation.

This destruction of Mount Hua, the root of Daoism, was a significant event. The Sui Ye Star Kingdom and the Amrita Star Kingdom's Great Generals had practically all come. No one would miss this opportunity to strengthen their Star Names. The reason they followed Star Marquis was for this moment of glorious achievement.

Other than these two major forces, Chen Tuan also pensively cast a glance behind. The girl's gaze seemed to see through time and space, faintly discerning there was a Divine Dragon Army hidden away.

"The forces of two Star Marquis, what is their purpose?"

Tan Daoji asked.

"Could it be that the Star Marquis want to flout the Central Star Field's authority, that they think they can get away with this?"

Golden Age Tyrant Yang Guang arrogantly sat atop her dragon carriage. She crossed her legs, her expression disdainful.

A girl dressed in purple dragon and phoenix patterned robes walked out. Upon seeing these purple dragon and phoenix markings, Tan Daoji's heart sank. These markings were the symbol of the imperial family. Only those at the highest level had the qualifications to wear them for they represented the Central Star Field.

"Your Servant is Heavenly Law Star ‘Gentleman Of Heaven's Law' Zhu Xi,¹ presenting an imperial order of the Central Star Field. Master of Mount Hua, Chen Tuan, hearken." The woman spoke, her voice cutting the bamboo like a blade, chopping with every word.

"Gentleman Of Heaven's Law Zhu Xi!" Tan Daoling's expression changed. Zhu Xi was one of Central's Four Confucian Sages. She held high authority in the Central Star Field and was part of Dong Zhongshu's faction.

Chen Tuan was unperturbed.

Zhu Xi opened the scroll and read: "The Central Star Field hereby decrees, Xiang Yu's Star Name has been born. Mount Hua has awakened the Star Name of Song Zhao, ‘Ninefold Dragon Edict' Zhao Kuangyin. Song Zhao's Star Name once disturbed the order of Star World through the Three Heavenly Books. For the sake of making this Star Name a taboo in Star World, in order to avoid the resurgence of a scourge, tenth Star Marquis Yang Guang, eleventh Star Marquis Fu Jian, and fifteenth Star Marquis Wu Zhao are hereby commanded to eliminate the Mount Hua Sect disciple who awakened the Purple Rose Star Name, without delay!!"

"Chen Tuan, do you acknowledge?"

Once the imperial order was read, the faces of Mount Hua's disciples were a bit unsightly.

An imperial order that blatantly dictated the execution of Zhao Kuangyin. This clearly demonstrated there was no room for any negotiation.

To Mount Hua, if they sent out Zhao Kuangyin, their dignity would be tarnished, and the fortune they had only just recovered would completely vanish. As for keeping Zhao Kuangyin, in light of the three great Star Marquis' forces standing before them, Tan Daoji did not feel this would not end politely.

She never imagined that the Central Star Field would actually be so impatient. It had hardly been a few days since the martial arts competition, yet they surprisingly wanted to destroy Mount Hua.

"Chen Tuan!!"

Zhu Xi's eyes were like lightning, her voice like rolling thunder, piercing straight through Heaven and Earth.

"Why does Her Majesty Su Mian not personally issue this imperial decree?" Chen Tuan calmly inquired.

"Her Majesty Mian is currently attending the Literary Excellence Convention and is unable to free herself. This Song Zhao Star Name matter is urgent, so she allowed Lady Dongzi to issue the order on her behalf!! Chen Tuan, are you unconvinced?" Zhu Xi arrogantly asked.

"Lady Zhu Xi! Li has received Her Majesty's orders to protect Mount Hua. She has also ordered that no one is permitted to undertake any military action against Mount Hua without her express permission. Lady Zhu Xi, please rescind Dongzi's command and await Her Majesty Mian's return for a decision."

A woman as might as a roc god of war unyieldingly strode out and faced the massive army with an expression of unswerving determination, showing now changes whatsoever. Every word the woman spoke was like iron, forcefully echoing through Heaven and Earth.

When the armies heard her voice, they felt their qi-blood freeze. THey were unable to move.

"Li!"

Zhu Xi was very surprised to see her appear. This woman was one of Central's Two Stars, and she was the great general that Su Mian trusted the most. At times, her word undoubtedly represented the will of Dream In A Millennium.

"Zhao Kuangyin was left to Li to watch over. There will absolutely be no mishaps whatsoever. Dongzi was overthinking. Wait for Her Majesty to return, then we will make arrangements." Li said.

"Hmph, what qualifications do you have to speak, you martial general." Yang GUang rebuked her.

A divine might descended. The Star Marquis' powerful might pounced down. Tan Daoji and the others only felt their legs quake, the strength drain from their entire bodies. But Li remained unfazed. The intense wind lifted her hair, yet her expression remained steadfast, her gaze unsubmissive to force, facing Yang Guang's divine might without any fear.

"Hurry and hand over Zhao Kuangyin for execution. Otherwise, your Mount Hua will be charged with the crimes of harboring Song Zhao's Star Name and overthrowing Central!!" Yang Guang impatiently screamed. This expedition against Mount Hua was for the purpose of thoroughly destroying them. As for that so-called imperial order, that was nothing more than a pretext. Anyone who dared to obstruct them would die.

"A bunch of trumped up charges!!"

Li coldly said.

"Li obeys Her Majesty's orders to protect Mount Hua. Who dares to intrude even one step!!"

"Yue Li!! There is no need to be so stubborn. Dongzi's imperial orders are Her Majesty's imperial orders. Dongzi is acting for the sake of the Central Star Field's imperial family. Yue Li, you must not be blindly loyal. Stand down, and Dongzi will not pursue an investigation."

"Li obeys only Her Majesty, no one else!" Li firmly answered.

"Truly annoying. I will take you first, see just how long you can persist." The girl sneered. She hinted with her eyes.

"Self-proclaimed Great General" Heruo Bi and "Palmheld Coiled Dragon" Han Qinhu intuitively understood and combined forces to attack Li. A sword-shadow like a breeze over a thousand li long rose, and a spear like a boundless dragon emerged.

Their teamwork surprisingly shook the world.

Li drew a spear and slashed.

The woman shouted. Under this attack, a golden roc seemed to spread its wings. The sword-shadow was ripped apart by the roc's claws, and the dragon's spear-wind was also turned to a worm in the roc's beak under the spear's divine radiance.

What??

Heruo Bi and Han Qinhu's expressions changed at the same time.

The powerful spear-intent surprisingly struck down the both of them, sending them flying.

Li was as immovable as a mountain, her Divine Spear pointed at Heaven.

Gods could not change her determination.

Because she was.

"Eternally Loyal General" Yue Fei!!

…

"Hm?"

Su Mian slightly wrinkled her brow, suddenly feeling a slight headache.

Su Wanyang was beside her. She asked in confusion: "Elder Sister, did you not sleep well?"

"I sense something has happened." Su Mian said.

After the Literary Excellence Convention began, the Miluo Star Field allowed entry but not exit. Even if something had happened, Su Mian had no way to know. "Elder Sister, you honestly did not need to accompany me." Su Wanyang pursed her lips.

"No, Li Shimin dispatched Huang Chao to disturb the convention. This Palace worries for Little Sister." Su Mian said. Although Su Wanyang's Realm was very high, she was somewhat in danger against a martial general as a spiritual general, after all.

"Then I shall conclude the Literary Excellence Convention as quickly as possible."

Su Wanyang looked down the platform.

Right now, they were already sitting in an immense circular building. At the center was a fantastically huge hall that seemed to be made from crystal or stone. More than a hundred sage sculptures were in a circle around this hall.
