Chapter 748: The Final Star Duel II Long Nü (1/2)

“Master, what is the matter?”

The Holy Lord of Draconic Demon smiled and nodded. Black qi hovered all around his body, extremely reserved. “All thanks to your Demonic Comprehension Innate Skill, Ming’er, the Prehistoric Heavenly Demon Body has finally advanced. In the future against the Purple Thunder Monster, This Holy Lord stands a better chance.”

“Holy Lord, do not be underestimate him.” Li Xiangfei shook her head.

To the Holy Lord of Draconic Demon that had already suffered several defeats, this was considered understanding through experience.

“Where is Su Shengxiang?”

“She has spent the past several days sneaking around discussing something with other Star Masters.” Fan Ming’s expression was one of disdain.

“This Holy Lord should have killed this bitch back then.” The Holy Lord of Draconic Demon’s eyes were full of coldness. As the grand number one Star Master of the Black Turtle Territory, he had nevertheless been overtaken by a woman. “That idiot Old Monster Dark Rebirth must have given this slut many favors.”

Li Xiangfei sighed almost inaudibly, unclear as to whether this was disappointment or some other reason.

As if she was waiting for this moment, Su Shengxiang daintily walked over from Yan Wudao.

Upon seeing the Holy Lord of Draconic Demon, she put on a charming smile. “Congratulations, Lord Husband. Presumably, the Prehistoric Heavenly Demon Body has already advanced.”

“Ha, ha, Wife Shengxiang is truly modest. This Holy Lord has heard you have gotten along well with other Star Masters these past few days?” The Holy Lord of Draconic Demon switched to an insincere smile.

Su Shengxiang covered her lips, smiling and saying: “Many thanks to Lord Husband. The Star Duels’ decisive battle is at hand. Shengxiang merely discussed escape routes with them, nothing more.”

“Escape routes?”

Not only the Holy Lord of Draconic Demon, even Li Xiangfei and Fan Ming showed puzzled expression.

“Shengxiang was merely thinking that since the Purple Thunder Monster has used the pretext of ending the Star Duels to secure Lin Chong and those other first-rate Star Generals, perhaps we can ally with him and climb the mountain together? However, there would be prerequisites. It is easy to say we can kill that Su Xing in the final Star Duel. But if we are defeated, he may spare our lives out of consideration for the Star Generals’ Sisters. Presumably, he is enemies with Maiden Mountain. Maybe we can lend him a hand.”

“Lord Husband, do not be angry. This is only Shengxiang’s wishful thinking. When the time comes, we must still see what Su Xing thinks.” Su Shengxiang said.

“Su Xing this, Su Xing that. That man’s name sounds so smooth coming from your lips. You would not happen to be having cold feet and thinking of betraying us, would you?” The Holy Lord of Draconic Demon stared fixedly at her.

“Lord Husband is being too cautious. In short, bringing such an idea up does not harm us at all, is that not the case?” Su Shengxiang said.

“What she says makes some sense.” Li Xiangfei muttered. Although this appeared beyond preposterous, with Lin Chong and Wu Song’s imposing personalities, perhaps they actually were ending the Star Duels and were willing to make allies to climb the mountain together. “The Seven Stars Assembly has only seven openings. They truly would have no use for Star Duels.” Fan Ming scoffed.

“What do the others think?” Li Xiangfei asked.

“Yan Wudao and the others do not trust the Purple Thunder Monster either, but that will not stop them from using him to curb the righteousness of the Panther Head and company.”1 Su Shengxiang said.

“En.”

“Lord Husband, your thoughts?” Su Shengxiang softly asked.

The Holy Lord of Draconic Demon really wanted to rage at the heavens, dash the mountains, scream the disdainful words, “Su Xing must die.” But when these words were on the tip of his tongue, in the end, he found that he did not even have the breath for this. “Dammit. If that Purple Thunder Monster manages to climb the mountain, he would definitely ally with Maiden Mountain.” As he thought of this, the Holy Lord of Draconic Demon snorted. A cold glint flashed across his eyes, keeping silent.

A small smile flit across Su Shengxiang’s lips.

Time flit by as they trained, instantly passing.

Several months’ time elapsed in the blink of an eye.

Under the call of the Star Duels, Su Xing, Gong Caiwei, Zhao Hanyan, Xi Yue, and the others already entered the range of Maiden Mountain’s legendary “Eight Million Li Maiden Mountain Lake.”

They passed from the “Ink Earth” stuck in eternal night to the “Waiting Watch” filled with moonlight.

They crossed various obstacles in the marsh.

Wherever Su Xing passed, so too did Purple Cloud East Approaches, like an immortal arriving. Along the way, both commoners and cultivators alike stared dumbstruck.

The Eight Million Li Maiden Mountain Lake appeared seemed very large. To cross it would take several dozen days’ time.

On this night, Su Xing had already crossed the Coalesced Dragonpools. They stopped when the distance to the Yu Plains was half a day.

“Tonight, let’s rest here.” Su Xing saw that the environment of this Coalesced Dragonpool was of limitless beauty, clear moonlight, dark blue waters. Innumerable fireflies fluttered over the surface of the lake, appearing quite idyllic.

“Things really turned out as Xinjie anticipated. It appears those Star Masters are truly preparing to fight a decisive battle at the Yu Plains.” Zhao Hanyan brushed her sleeve.

The Coalesced Dragonpools were the last bodies of water in the vicinity of Maiden Mountain. If River Dragon Li Xiangfei was present, she would have the qualifications to battle Lin Yingmei, but things appeared very tranquil. It appeared that the Holy Lord of Draconic Demon had also abandoned this advantageous terrain.

“We cannot be careless.” Gong Caiwei said.

Zhu Sha knew intuitively her intent. She summoned the Five Elements Weather Banner, “Young Su, me and Big Sis will go take a look around for now.” Zhang Yuqi smiled and said.

“Be careful.” Su Xing ordered.

Zhang Yuqi winked. She brought White Wave and dove into the lake. Boatman Zhang Feiyu also spurred her Burning Whale to submerge beneath the water. To a Water General, they were still the most free in the water.

“Speaking of Xinjie, why does she feel they will fight the decisive battle at the Yu Plains?” Zhao Hanyan asked.

“This place is the closest to Maiden Mountain. Its terrain is wide open, and reportedly, it is an ancient battlefield. Perhaps there is no other place better suited than this.”

“Is that so?” Zhao Hanyan nodded.

Su Xing said: “Xinjie, tell Yingmei, Siyou and the others in a moment. There will be no more sparring tonight. Conserve their strength and rest properly to meet tomorrow’s final Star Duel.”

“Young Lord, do you not want a big party with no coverings tonight?2 This is but the last chance before climbing the the mountain.” Wu Xinjie giggled.

“Sure, This Princess has no issue. It may be assumed that darling will be very happy. Caiwei, join in, would you.” Zhao Hanyan teased Gong Caiwei.

The woman in clothes whiter than snow wrinkled her brow. She turned and left.

“The Immortal Hero Princess is angry. Prince Consort, you must quickly take her into your harem. After we ascend the mountain, there will not be such a good chance.” Dong Junqing fanned the flames.

“Rest well tonight, everyone. Save your strength.” Su Xing said.
