Chapter 494 (1/2)

Gong Caiwei.

And together with Gong Caiwei was Leader Star Zhu Sha.

”Caiwei, why have you come here?” Queen Lady of Ice was startled.

At this time, the stone-like girl Zhu Sha's expression changed. The Five Elements Weather Banner unfurled, releasing the Heaven Earth Five Elements to protect An Suwen.

Gong Caiwei's actions actually did not make An Suwen feel surprised at all.

”You?”

”Master, please listen to Caiwei, stop!” Gong Caiwei gazed at that Longevity Stele without the slightest bit of interest.

Queen Lady of Ice wrinkled her brow. This was the first time she had seen the cold as ice Gong Caiwei show feelings like this. Queen Lady of Ice practiced the Ice Heart Chant, but she was not an emotionless person. Although she was especially tempted by the Longevity Stele, she also knew now that the coordination and determination of the Efficacious Star and Solitary Star already were unable to be shaken.

Tang Lianxin did not need a moment longer and took the Longevity Stele into her sack.

The Solitary Star was not as warm as An Suwen. She stared intently at Gong Caiwei. The expression of the Gold Coin Spotted Leopard was truly vigilant as a leopard's.

”Caiwei, what are you doing!”

Queen Lady of Ice said in a low voice.

Actually, it was very simple why Gong Caiwei had come. From the moment Queen Lady of Ice borrowed the Aurora Bottle, Gong Caiwei sensed that matters were fishy, but the Ten Great Sects had concealed the information about their encirclement of the Purple Thunder Monster very thoroughly. Gong Caiwei did not find any clues at all, only that the place they were surrounding was the Bright Moon Longevity Palace.

This place was Prince Feng Wu's – the domain of Gong Caiwei's father.

A large flock of first-rate cultivators coming to this place naturally could not be concealed. Gong Caiwei therefore rushed over because of this. She had trained at the Heavenly Ice Holy Palace ever since she lost her mother when she was young, treating Queen Lady of Ice as a mother, and she also had confusing feelings for Purple Thunder Monster Su Xing. From the Flower Dragon Cave's dragon incident to the Birth Treasure Outline and on through the life and death battle in Evil Smiting Hall, by all sorts of chance or perhaps by ill-fated coincidence, Su Xing had become the second person to have infiltrated her heart.

On one side was Queen Lady of Ice, who was like a mother to her, and on the other was a…close acquaintance??? Gong Caiwei did not want to either side hurt the other at all, and it was precisely because of this that after Queen Lady of Ice arrived at the third palace, Gong Caiwei had tailed her all this time, stepping forth now to intervene.

What had happened inside naturally was a long story short. Gong Caiwei did not answer Queen Lady of Ice's inquiry at all, but she earnestly looked at her.

The warmth in the pupils of the ice and snow girl was her best reply.

Queen Lady of Ice slightly sighed.

”You will not regret this?” Queen Lady of Ice confirmed.

Gong Caiwei gently grunted, not saying another word.

”Very well.” Queen Lady of Ice waved a white finger, the cold air in the hall suddenly abated, and the temperature returned to normal. The Aurora Bottle flew to Gong Caiwei. ”Since this is yours, I will follow your decisions, but that Purple Thunder Monster has provoked the Most High Path. I fear things are extremely dangerous.”

Gong Caiwei nodded. Zhu Sha recalled the Five Elements Weather Banner.

An Suwen and Tang Lianxin were astonished. They hastily ran out of the palace.

Queen Lady of Ice allowed the two young girls to brush past her. In the moment their shoulders passed, that worried expression was clearly sincere, so genuine that this was not an expression a Star General ought to have.

Perhaps that Purple Thunder Monster truly can change these Star Duels.

But just who is he?

Queen Lady of Ice turned around, contemplating.

Outside the palace, a rainbow light suddenly flashed.

…

Fourth palace.

”Please put down the Longevity Stele!”

A beautiful maid unhurriedly walked over from the outside of the palace, her gait graceful as if she stepping on feathers, that was gentle and peaceful.

Yan Cao of the Divine Flame Sword Sect was currently breaking the Longevity Stele's forbiddance. He turned his head to look at those copper-like pupils in front of him and could not help but be drawn in.

Her flower crown, maid clothes, exposed shoulder, her slender vermilion pupils.

She truly was a beauty.

”Are you requesting this of me?” Yan Cao flung his hand. A hundred Five Motifs True Fire1 Flying Swords burned in the air. The man calmly smiled.

The maid stopped at a distance fifty meters away from the man, assuming an attack stance. Her fists glowed with the profound light of Yin and Yang. The sole deficiency was one carp swimming about that was nevertheless missing its other half, and that swimming carp very quickly fade away.

”The Yin Yang Pisces Fists. The famous Skilful Star Wanderer. Your Servant did not expect to be have the fortune to meet you.” Yan Cao nodded, muttering to himself. ”For that man to be able to have so many first-rate Star Generals truly makes one unable to not be envious.”

”If you want the Longevity Stele…” Yan Cao pointed to the Longevity Stele.

Before he could finish, there was a bang. Dust flew, and Yan Yizhen's figure vanished.

The Five Motifs True Fire Flying Swords completely could not track her. Yan Cao already was sent flying by a punch.

”As a maid, you truly are very rude to guests.” Yan Cao wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, climbing up as if nothing had happened.

Yan Yizhen was expressionless, her gaze glancing at her right hand.

There was still a burning flame.

Under that punch just now, she clearly felt a True Fire on that man's body protect him, unexpectedly making her own punching force unable to break through.

This man was not simple!

”Your Servant has long wished to duel with a martial general.” Yan Cao suddenly grinned.

The Five Motifs True Fire Flying Swords descended, entirely burning space, agitating a foehn wind. Yan Cao formed a hand seal, and the surroundings were completely filled with resplendent red light. A bowl-sized red flame simultaneously bubbled forth.

Yan Yizhen's figure swayed.

She advanced through the suffocating flames.

The maid's swiftness made the Flying Swords miss each time. Yan Cao ceased his frivolity, and his expression became stern.He extended a hand, and the bowl-sized ”Five Motifs Divine Flame” linked together into a line. Whatever this Five Motifs Divine Flame touched became ashes.

Immediately, Yan Cao turned around and flew towards the Longevity Stele.

The flames wailed.

Yan Cao turned his head back to look and inwardly cursed. A large hole had been torn out of the True Fire. The apathetic maid astonishingly rushed out of the gap.

The Four Star Yin Yang Pisces Fists had extinguished the Five Motifs Divine Flame with just one punch.

Yan Cao hastily retreated, the Flying Swords protecting him. He took out a magic weapon, raised it towards the sky, and a fire rope became a fire dragon that burned towards the Yan Yizhen pouncing at him.

This Ardent Dragon Rope was dragon muscle Yan Cao gathered from an Ardent Fire Dragon refined using True Fire. He used the Five Motifs Divine Flame to forge it, injected it with the Ardent Fire Dragon's True Spirit, and it possessed practically psychic capabilities. It was the magic weapon that Yan Cao was most proud of.

It often showed its usefulness in every encounter with a dangerous foe.

The Ardent Dragon Rope manifested a Fire Dragon True Spirit that bit at Yan Yizhen. Yan Yizhen quickly evaded. This Ardent Dragon Rope did not require control from the cultivator and was capable of automatically tracking its target.

Any way Yan Yizhen dodged, it followed closely behind without losing her.

After several breaths, the Ardent Dragon Rope roared and thoroughly stopped Yan Yizhen. Not only was the rope capable of trapping her, the rope itself also released Five Motifs True Fire that burned.

”You have only this bit of ability? How mediocre.”

Yan Cao saw that the Skilful Star was trapped by the Ardent Dragon Rope. He extended a hand, and the Five Motifs True Fire Flying Swords simultaneously slashed, the fire-light encircling Yan Yizhen, sword-light shooting everywhere.
