Chapter 747: The Final Star Duel (I) Indistinct (1/2)

“Protect Song Qingci’s ascent up the mountain?”

Lin Yingmei, Wu Xinjie and the others could not help but be taken aback when they heard Su Xing’s words.

To end the Star Duels, they would have to fulfill Leader Star Song Qingci’s ascent. Although they had considered that the Leader Star who was the head of Maiden Mountain’s 108 Star Maidens played a critical role, to hear the words Li Shishi brought still made everyone wrinkle their brows.

Song Qingci’s contract was the Uprising. To have her scale the peak, that very clearly indicated Star Masters who held other contracts would inevitably be unable to climb the mountain together.

“Does this not mean she would have Su Xing throw away his life to help that bitch achieve her wish.” Zhao Hanyan pursed her lips into a disdainful sneer.

“Sir will not heed Li Shishi’s words?” Xi Yue said.

Gong Caiwei also stared at Su Xing.

Su Xing head ached as he rubbed his forehead. Ending the Star Duels was the greatest wish he had after joining the Star Duels, but hearing Li Shishi’s words truly made things difficult for him. If this was Earth, a soldier had one order they had absolute obedience for. They would not hesitate to sacrifice their own lives if it meant finishing the mission, but...Su Xing looked at Lin Yingmei and the rest. Sacrificing himself signified the same for Lin Yingmei and the others.

“Milord, why pay mind to the Splendid Star’s words. In the end, she is merely a lackey of Maiden Mountain’s Empress. Everything she does is only in service to that Empress. Hmph, what does she mean to say that it is necessary to have Song Qingci climb the mountain. I will not believe these words.” Hua Wanyue played with a lock of hair beside her ear, voicing her dissent.

“What Wanyue says is right. To end the Star Duels, we can only rely on ourselves. The Leader Star is not worthy of our trust.” Wu Xiyou agreed.

The girls talked over each other, disdaining Li Shishi’s words. They could also see Su Xing’s conflict, though they had to admit his conflicted appearance was a bit cute.

In the end, everyone turned their gazes to Lin Yingmei.

Su Xing’s First Wife.

Among everyone, her opinion was evidently the most important.

“Young Master’s safety is more important than ending the Star Duels.” Lin Yingmei emphatically said.

Everyone was stunned. Immediately, they were unable to help but smile.

Su Xing knowingly smiled: “In my mind, your safety will always be first. Perhaps Leader Star Song Qingci really is the critical link in the Star Duels, but maybe we can get the best of both worlds.”

Spotting that crafty glint in Su Xing’s eyes, Ling Yan Princess Zhao Hanyan felt she should offer a prayer for that Song Qingci.

“For the time being, let us set aside this issue. Sisters, we must first discuss with Young Lord the final Star Duel.” Knowledge Star Wu Xinjie stood out.

“The final Star Duel?”

“Do not forget, there is still another alliance besides Song Qingci.” Wu Xinjie pursed her lips.

Chai Ling stroked Xing’er, ruminating: “This was within calculations. The other Star Masters would form an alliance to face Xing’er. They will choose a place with topography that is optimal for obstructing him, and this place will be the nearest to Maiden Mountain. It will also be the only road there, vast terrain with nowhere to hide, one that can bring out their greatest advantage.”

“That’s right.”

“Elder Sister ought to know, right?” An Suwen softly asked.

Wu Xinjie nodded.

She snapped her fingers, and a map flew out.

Knowledge Star pointed to a point and asserted.

“Barring accidents, Xinjie believes this will be the place they choose for the final Star Duel...”

Everyone looked at that place.

Continuous like a dragon, coiling around Maiden Mountain.

This place was one of Maiden Mountain’s ancient battlegrounds.

Leading right to Maiden Mountain’s throat.

This place was known as.

The Yu Plains! [1]

—

“The Yu Plains???”

Monster Slaying Alliance. The Holy Lord of Draconic Demon, Yan Wudao, and all the other Star Masters were currently discussing the place for their final expedition against the Purple Thunder Monster. Hearing Scholar in a White Robe Wang Lengji’s words, they could not help but be shocked.

The Yu Plains.

It was no more than a hundred li from Maiden Mountain. To Supervoid Stage Star Masters like themselves, even a hundred kilometers was not worth a mention, and it looked like this place was very unremarkable.

“The Yu Plains. Although this place is the only road to Maiden Mountain, we still have better options.” Yan Wuao was the first to disagree with this decision.

Others also disagreed.

There was a saying, “eight hundred li Maiden Mountain lake.” The vicinity of Maiden Mountain had many unique terrains. These terrains held all sorts of influences on Star Duels. For example, the “Waiting Watch” was enshrouded in moonlight and was able to maximize a cultivator’s increase in cultivation; or “Lu’er Swamp,” nicknamed the Coalesced Dragonpools. Its waters were the ideal place for a Water General. There were also “Silkworm Apricot,” “Heavenly Ridge,” “Earthly Sincerity,” and others places that all held important influence over a Star Duel.

But this Yu Plains was a stretch of desert. It completely lacked any helpfulness towards a Star Master at all.

“This Holy Lord feels we should choose Lu’er Swamp. With Xiangfei standing guard, even Panther Head Lin Chong will die.” The Holy Lord of Draconic Demon looked fully confidently at River Dragon Li Xiangfei.

“Would Waiting Watch not be even better? This place can increase a cultivator’s cultivation. Isn’t the greatest advantage we have over the Purple Thunder Monster our Star Masters? Although Lin Chong and Wu Song are formidable, without the Purple Thunder Monster, they are merely toothless tigers, not worth a mention.” Xie Chang’an smiled.

Although the other Star Masters, like Yan Wudao, Su Shengxiang, Gong Song, Xin Lao, Ye Futu, Xie Zhenyuan and more were silent, their expression were endorsing the choices of others. That the Purple Thunder Monster had several of the great Thousand Year Martial Generals already was very defiant of the natural order. They would necessarily have to maximize their own advantages to have a chance at winning.

Wang Lengji drank tea. She face everyone instead with great calmness.
