Maiden Galaxy

Chapter 351: Demon Faced Military Commander Yu Juluo (Former)

Black smoke pervaded the troops rushing up from the bottom of the mountain. They very quickly arrived at the entrance of Mount Hua's main gate.

Lu Xiujing and Li Xiao stood guard outside the door, glaring at the intruders.

"Who are you intruders." Li Xiao shouted.

The procession stopped and the black smoke dispersed, revealing a murderous, demonic soldier.

"Yu Zan! What are you here for. Not even your elder sister, Yu Juluo, dares to charge into Mount Hua, do you want to die?" Li Xiao recognized the black-clothed woman and spoke very bluntly.

"Li Su, you are still at Mount Hua. Have you prepared yourself a coffin for this year's competition?" Yu Zan's eyes flickered with a savage glow.

Li Xiao brought out her Star Weapon, the "Crimson Blood Flying Serpent Spear."1 A bloody python coiled around the spear. She had a similarly fierce expression. Just as she was about to attack, Lu Xiujing hastily stopped her. Although Yu Zan's Realm was not very high, she was Yu Juluo's little sister, after all. Yu Juluo was also one of Yang Guang's subordinates, the Nine Elders Of Sui. These interlinked relationships could snowball very rapidly. This was very troublesome, especially when Yang Guang still had designs for Mount Hua.

"Evil Faced Banner Commander, what are you doing this time, having mustered such a large force." Lu Xiujing asked.

"Xiujing, this is our boldness. Our Military Commander wishes to invite the King Of Medicine, Sir Sun Simiao, to the mansion." A black robed man beside Yu Zan faintly smiled.

Upon seeing him, Li Xiao was even more furious. "Wen Zhenzi,2 you bastard. You still have the face to come to Mount Hua. My Simiao absolutely will not go to examine your master's disease."

"A fine bird chooses a tree to nest in. My service to the Military Commander is for the purpose of promoting Daoist orthodoxy, nothing more." Wen Zhenzi respectfully answered. His words were indeed correct. Although the "Five Moons" were sects, they nevertheless were not quite the same as a sect. Each practiced their own "orthodoxy." After some minor accomplishment, the disciples would all descend the mountain and continue to develop it further. At first, this was not set in stone.

"Offering services to just anyone isn't good, yet you insist on serving that tyrant, Yang Guang. You're shameless." Li Xiao grit her teeth.

"‘A fine bird chooses a tree to nest in.' Well said, but last I heard, Yu Juluo isn't a good tree. I heard that Yang Guang has suspicions that Yu Juluo activated her Double Pupils Innate Skill. Given that tyrant's temper, you must be so worried." Lu Xiujing smiled.

Wen Zhenzi was taken aback. He flatly said: "Senior Sister Lu Xiujing is truly quick with information. However, you should not treat rumor as fact."

"Enough talk. My elder sister has given invitation. Sun Simiao, should you refuse to go, do not blame me for getting rough." Yu Zan impatiently interrupted their "reminiscence."

Wen Zhenzi was also serious, but he nevertheless was far more respectful than Yu Zan. He bowed: "Lord Military Commander suffers from a strange illness. Perhaps Sir King Of Medicine will have interest in an examination."

"Serves her right, all the better if she dies." Li Xiao spat.

A terrible expression bloomed upon Yu Zan's face. The demonic soldiers under her command all brandished their blades.

"Your Military Commander is a Heavenly Star, yet she actually still has a strange disease?" Sun Yingmeng indeed was a bit curious.

"Yes, so we invite Sir to make a confirmation. Our Military Commander will certainly remember this favor." Wen Zhenzi's tone was still very amicable.

"Yingmeng, don't go. The Demon Faced Military Commander Yu Juluo3 is that Tyrant's fangs and claws. Letting her die is perfect." Li Xiao was eager for the deaths of all the Nine Elders.

"Hmph, to think of strong-arming us, I actually want to see what capabilities you have to do so, Yu Zan." When Li Xiao finished, she impatiently raised her Crimson Blood Flying Serpent Spear, already stabbing without another word.

The spear was like a python, spear-light faintly visible.

A Yellow Rank.

Yu Zan shouted, "Come on, then." She brought out her own Star Weapon, a black iron whip. The whip was barbed, and it emitted a terrible air. The iron whip spun, and an intense killing intent was unleashed. The woman's figure leapt off from her horse, similarly using a Yellow Rank Technique.

Black and crimson lights clashed in midair, becoming a large python and a yellow fish. Ice-cold killing intent instantly twisted, blowing through the mountain forest with a whoosh.

"Lord Yu Zan, you must not." Wen Zhenzi called for her to stop.

But Yu Zan basically did not care for his words. The iron whip released a storm-like killing intent that enveloped Mount Hua's gate. Duke Wu Of Liang Li Su did not fear her, and the spearmanship she displayed did not falter in the slightest, shuttling back and forth like a mighty divine serpent through the storm of murderous intent. Just as the two were about to go past the point of no return, Wen Zhenzi suddenly sensed a figure interject into their battle.

Like an indomitable mountain boulder pressing down between them, it immediately separated their killing intent. Yu Zan and Li Su's whip and spear clanged, and a gentle yet firm force neutralized them. They could hardly deal with this shock and could each only retreat a step. 

"Who!!" Yu Zan was enraged.

"Mount Hua is a place of quiet. Please be a little calmer, you two!"

A magnetic, masculine voice spoke.

"Chen Mo." Li Su snorted.

"You!"

Yu Zan was taken aback when she was the newcomer.

He was none other than the man who stopped her moments ago at the bottom of the mountain.

"You again!" Yu Zan was in a fit of rage when she saw Chen Mo. She was about to brandish her whip at him, but Wen Zhenzi seized the initiative to obstruct her.

"Please visit the Military Commander, Sir King Of Medicine Simiao. Otherwise, if we delay, this offense will be disadvantageous for all of us."

Wen Zhenzi faintly smiled, but his attitude had stiffened at some point.

Yu Zan stopped her shouting and screaming when she heard this.

"My Yingmeng won't go visit. Can it be that Mount Hua has to fear you." Li Xiao's attitude was also very resolute.

"You!"

They were on the verge of starting again when Sun Yingmeng unhappily interrupted them: "What are you arguing about, can't This Lady make her own decisions!"

She said to Yu Zan: "I've long heard of ‘Demon Faced Military Commander' Yu Juluo's fame. This Lady would also like to meet her. However, I cannot guarantee that I will be certain to heal her."

"So long as you are willing to visit immediately." Wen Zenzhi hastily grinned.

"Yingmeng, do you really want to go examine that Yu Juluo?" Li Xiao was worried.

"Going to take a looks is fine. Yingmeng, I'll go together with you." Chen Mo thought it over. Since Yu Juluo dispatched people to hastily invite Sun Yingmeng and with determination, refusing would inevitably lead to the other side going to war. For them, it would not be a big deal. Mount Hua had only one Heavenly Star and was basically not a threat.

What Chen Mo thought about was what he heard a moment ago that Yu Juluo and Yang Guang were not on good terms. Perhaps he could exploit this.

"Who are you!" Yu Zan coldly asked.

"This is Chen Mo, a newly inducted disciple of Mount Hua. If he accompanies me, This Lady can consider it." Sun Yingmeng giggled.

"A disciple of Mount Hua?" Wen Zhenzi showed an astonished expression. He had also once trained under Mount Hua in Daoism. He was fully aware of the extremely demanding requirements to join Mount Hua; this was not a place that an ordinary Star Warrior could enter and cultivate.

He saw that Chen Mo appeared to be just about twenty years of age. This hoenstly was too young, and Chen Mo's cultivation was not yet Earthly Immortal.

"This King never imagined there would still be people willing to join Mount Hua." Yu Zan glared coldly at Chen Mo. "If there is a chance, This King wants to know just what the difference is between you and Wen Zhenzi."

"No problem." Chen Mo simply replied.

Wen Zhenzi said: "Lord Yu Zan, there is no time to lose. We had better return to the mansion first. We cannot delay the Military Commander's matters."

"Wait a moment, I'm going with Yingmeng, too." Li Xiao shouted.

"Can it be that you are still afraid the Military Commander will hurt the King Of Medicine." Yu Zan put on a fake smile. "Given the King Of Medicine's reputation, Elder Sister will not commit such a despicable thing."

"Be on your guard if you want to survive. Besides, Yang Guang's reputation isn't good at all. You Nine Elders Of Sui all look average to me." Li Xiao sneered.

Yu Zan disdainfully said: "If you want to go, then go. Don't blame me for warning you that if you all come and leave Maiden Mountain defenseless, be wary those Three Great Divine Trees are stolen by someone."

"I heard that Ancestor Chen Tuan is not at Maiden Mountain either." Yu Zan's words had a hidden meaning.

"Relax, as long as I'm here, no one would think of setting a foot into Mount Hua." Lu Xiujing said.

Li Xiao glanced at her, saying to herself, You're the one I'm least able to relax about, but compared to this, I'm more uneasy about Yingmeng. To let Yingmeng go to Yu Juluo's mansion, that was impossible.

Chen Mo said to Milu: "Milu, you stay here at Mount Hua and wait for me to return."

"But?" Milu hesitated.

"Don't worry, this won't take too long." Chen Mo said.

Wen Zhenzi also spoke: "With Sir Sun Simiao's superb medical arts, this will not use much time. Your Servant dares to guarantee that if you are able to cure the Military Commander, then the Military Commander will not participate in this year's competition."

"Really?" Sun Yingmeng chuckled.

"Of course, before we came here, the Military Commander already told us that this is an enormous favor that she will never forget."

"Then This Lady is a bit interested." Sun Yingmeng nodded. Truthfully, this was her plan all along. "The Demon Faced Military Commander is on the level of the Four Heavenly Kings among your Nine Elders Of Sui."

Yu Zan sneered: "Don't be happy too early. That Shi Wansui has returned, so even if Elder Sister does not participate, your Mount Hua will not escape calamity this time."

Sun Yingmeng shook her head at Yu Zan: "Ai, how does Yu Juluo have a little sister like you. These words honestly are pleasing to the ear. Anyways, This Great Lady will magnanimously not haggle with you."

Yu Zan's disposition was arrogant. Being taken advantage of by Sun Yingmeng like this, her expression was a bit angry.

Wen Zhenzi shook his head at her. Only when she thought about her Elder Sister's condition did Yu Zan barely stifle her anger, but her eyes were filled with displeasure.

"There is no time to waste. We shall descend the mountain first." Wen Zhenzi feared changes to the situation and immediately indicated departure.

Li Xiao said, "Not necessary." From her Astral Bag, she activated an Astral Treasure, a textile shuttle glimmering with multi-colored starlight. Li Xiao stepped onto the shuttle and pulled Sun Simiao on.

Wen Zhenzi waved his hand, and the black smoke descended the mountain.

"Be on your guard, Yu Zan's words aren't unreasonable." Chen Mo adivsed.

Lu Xiujing said: "I know, you protect them."

Chen Mo looked at the two girls. He nodded and flew using his riding sword.

"Is this really fine?" Jiang Yuezhuo walked to her side, her voice soft: "If Yu Juluo harms Yingmeng…"

"Don't worry, Yingmeng is the King Of Medicine, after all. Even Yang Guang wouldn't kill her, not because of how powerful she is, but because she has more value alive." Lu Xiujing saw things very clearly.

"But to help heal that Demon Faced Military Commander Yu Juluo, isn't helping the enemy just asking for trouble!" Clear Empty Shadow was still a bit uneasy.

Lu Xiujing smiled, "On the contrary. This is even more advantageous to us."

Jiang Yuezhuo did not understand. How could healing an enemy become an advantage to them.

"Do you know who Yu Juluo was injured by?" Lu Xiujing asked.

"It seems Senior Sister Xiujing knows?" Jiang Yuezhuo assumed.

"Yes, none other than by Shi Wansui."4

Jiang Yuezhuo's little mouth hung agape. She was very astonished.

"Seems Yang Guang's Nine Elders Of Sui are not without their own opportunists. The art of war says to drive a wedge between enemies. Perhaps this can prove beneficial to our Mount Hua." Lu Xiujing said: "Our Little Junior Brother Chen Mo probably noticed this, and that's why he agreed."

Jiang Yuezhuo was pensive. She looked at Lu Xiujing's awe-inspiring air and smiled.

"Senior Sister Xiujing truly is very much in the style of the School Of The Military."
