Chapter 424: Western Fields Qilin Hunt (II) Hunt

"But Your Servant truly wants to work with the Lady very much." Yan Yu said, vexed. "The Western Fields is fraught with danger. Clearly, the safest place is right beside the Purple Firmaments Immortal Palace."

Su Mushuang chuckled.

"How can an Earthly Immortal like you have the nerve to curry favor with Me." Su Mushuang shook her head.

"Seems I can only move on my own." Yan Yu sinisterly grinned: "Then let Your Servant experience your Purple Firmaments Immortal Palace's capabilities."

"There you go." Su Mushuang's white hand gestured. Purple swords soared, forming a Nine Palaces array. Astonishingly, this was the Purple Firmaments Immortal Palace's famous Heaven Filling Purple Firmaments Nine Palaces Flying Sword.

"Whenever our sects meet, we must always fight."¹

"Black Devil Gate Flame Sword Chant!"

Yan Yu's eyes turned cold, and a devil-flame spread.

A fire-red escape light flit over the boundless prairie, its endless waves.

"As one from the Ten Great Sects, Your Distinguished Self is surprisingly so vicious. This betrays your sect's overwhelming righteousness." An old man appeared in the escape light, shouting with difficulty.

The sword-light behind him seemed to shuttle about, easily catching up with his speed.

A golden bell hovered in the sky, letting out a clear sound. It made the old man's Flying Swords totter on the edge of collapse, unable to use any abilities.

Lu Xuanjing's expression was dark: "This One came here to hunt people like you, bastards courting death."

"Ah." The old man endlessly struggled, also using protective abilities.

Their sword chants clashed. All of a sudden, a young woman appeared upon the wildlands. That girl wore green clothes and a long skirt. She had a curvaceous body and a picturesque gaze. Upon seeing her, Lu Xuanjing was taken aback, his movements slowing considerably.

"Lady, save me." The old man pleaded.

The young woman glanced out the corner of her eye, walking away with incomparable apathy.

Lu Xuanjing sighed in relief. From her personality, he sensed what her identity was.

Star General!

And it was extremely likely she was a Heavenly Spirit, which he must not provoke.

"Die."

Lu Xuanjing's Nine Firmaments Nine Hells Sword Chant killed the old man, and he took the man's valuables. In cultivating a path, the so-called orthodox sects were fine, but cultivating according to those standards, it was fundamentally unable to make major breakthroughs. Plundering others was the only method to quickly grow stronger. Regardless of talent, cultivation, Realm, magic treasures, or abilities, a cultivator able to become Qilin Cub had their own original aspects, somewhere they proved stronger than the outsider cultivators they killed.

Besides, there was basically no burden at all in killing and robbing inside the Western Fields.

"That woman just now seemed to be with that Mo Chen. Hmperhaps she is going to hunt the qilin'Given her Realm, perhaps I have a chance." Lu Xuanjing pondered. Recalling his defeat by Chen Mo at the banquet, his heart burned with fury. Unless he killed Chen Mo, the knot in his heart would hardly dispel no matter how many other cultivators he killed.

Thinking over this, Lu Xuanjing followed after her.

At the same time, similar situations unfolded all over the Western Fields.

Before the hunt for the "qilin" even began, the scene of cultivator hunts was already fully on display.

A gentle breeze slowly brushed over his face. The primeval air stirred restlessly in Chen Mo's body, exciting the Dark Yellow Sword Qi.

"Wait a moment!!"

All of a sudden, Wu Chi let out a hoarse shriek. Their riding swords came to a screeching halt.

"What is the matter?" They were confused.

"Heh, heh." Wu CHi chuckled. He somersaulted, descending towards the plains like a nimble squirrel. He felt around the grass for awhile, then dug out several stones.

The stones seemed to contain stars. Some were transparent, swirling with Star Energy.

"Star Ore." That always silent middle-aged man suddenly shouted. In truth, Star Ore was a type of Star Energy stone. If its essence could be extracted, it could become a Star Stone, which contained natural Star Energy. It was very helpful for cultviators training in Star Energy and for Star Generals. In Star World, Star Ore was very precious because Star World's ubiquitous currency, "Astral Cents" and "Astral Dollars," were minted from Star Ore.

Star World's "Star Lodes" were all managed by the Central Star Field. To be able to see Star Ore, that truly was no different from picking up money.

That middle-aged man jumped off the chariot and searched around in the grass.

Chen Mo remained on the chariot, unmoved.

His Deva Eyes looked around. This place was no Star Lode at all. There were only a few rocks, possible the conglomeration of Star Energy, or perhaps they were left behind by other cultivators after their deaths.

Yang Qi and that female cultivator also looked around.

"Do you not want to come look for Spirit Grasses and ores?" The female cultivator asked curiously.

"No need, I feel we had better leave quickly." CHen Mo wrinkled his brow.

"What are you worried about." Wu Chi snorted. He suddenly roared with laughter: "Ha, ha, look what I found." The man was wild with joy. He found a tiny grass in the crack of a rock. It was covered in thorns, with spiritual power coiling around it, like spider silk.

"Thorny Spirit Grass!!"

The female cultivator also showed envy.

Thorny Spirit Grass could be sold on the marketplace for several thousand Astral Dollars. This type of Spirit Grass could also be directly ingested, and it would produce a halo of thorns temporarily able to protect the cultivator from harm. Among Spirit Grasses, it was very special, for it was practically the same as a magic treasure. Other than this, "Thorny Spirit" was also very helpful in concocting medicine and casting.

Chen Mo was also interested in this kind of Spirit Grass.

"What do you think." Wu Chi complacently looked at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo did not look at him but at someplace far away instead.

A fierce wind howled in the distance. In the wind, there was a very pungent odor. Chen Mo immediately sensed several rays of murderous intent flying over here.

Yang Qi at this time also noticed this anomaly, and his expression promptly changed.

Before Yang Qi could speak, those sword-lights had already seized the upper hand. A sharp blue light tore apart the air, revealing a dagger-like shape that instnatly slashed at Chen Mo and Yang Qi.

That dagger whooshed as it cut, surprisingly covering a thousand li, instantly covering the five of them.

The dagger-shadow split to attack all of them at once.

Chen Mo snapped his fingers. A "Qiankun Seal" struck the dagger, temporarily constraining the dagger's power to allow everyone escape from this disaster.

"This is the Void Underworld Blade. Shit, it is the Green Underworld Sword Sect's Ancestor Void Underworld. We have to run, now!!"

Yang Qi used an escape technique without another thought.

Wu Chi and the others' expressions changed when they saw this blade of green light. They leapt upwards, their sword-lights rising. "We must not separate, only by working together can we survive this." Yang Qi shouted.

Chen Mo wrinkled his brow, but he still followed them anyways. No matter what, he wanted to find the Purple Rose chest first.

The Void Underworld Blade spun in the air, its void-shadows overlapped together to form a simple and unadorned dagger.

A moment later, three figures rushed over in succession. They were two men and a woman. The two men wore green old-style robes. Their clothes were covered in eerie flower markings and were aflame with green fire.

And the woman's eyes were alluring, green in color and glow, stirred with ripples.

She wore green armor, her figure graceful and full.

"EnThey actually escaped." The man was surprisingly Lord Of Heaven in cultivation. He looked at the Void Underworld Blade in his hand. Its green light flickered, and a wisp of white qi remained upon it.

"Yu'er,² you lost my sect face at the banquet. This time, properly show them what we are capable of. Go and kill those cultivators. Track them. Presumably, they are the thieves who stole information from my sect, and they have come for the Purple Rose chest." Ancestor Void Underworld flatly ordered.

"As you command, Ancestor." The other man, lanky with a sinister glint in his eye, grunted. He stepped onto green light and gave chase.

"Void Underworld, are you certain there is a Purple Rose chest?" That woman wore a green brocade and was draped in an overcoat that was very gorgeous. After she entered the Western Fields, she was no longer afraid either.

And this woman was none other than the Green Underworld's Sect's guardian Star General.

In the Inner Star Fields, top ranking sects practically had a Star General standing guard, and the Green Underworld Sword Sect was very famous in the Qilin Star Kingdom's Spreading Rainbow Star Field.

"Answering the Ancestral Master, our sect has already investigated for a century, and we can be certain this is a Purple Rose Treasure Chest leftover from the Star Duel era."

"That would be for the best." The woman nodded.

Zhou Feiyu maneuvered the Underworld Wind Escape Technique, very quickly catching up to Yang Qi, Chen Mo, and the others. Zhou Feiyu was nicknamed Great Saint Windwalker, and he already reached Universe Origin Three Boundaries' third Realm, No Boundary. When his escape technique activated, he seemed to step upon green light and wind. He was able to traverse hell, something very astonishing.

As expected, compared to hunting for treasure, it was much more interesting to hunt the treasure hunters themselves.

"Where are you running." Great Sage Windwalker Zhou Feiyu was defeated by a Star Warrior at the banquet, costing their sect great face, but owing to the Martial Emperor's might, they did not dare be rash. Now that they entered the Western Fields, without anyone to constrain him, the fury in his heart spilled forth.

Green hell and divine wind blew the plains away like chaff.

"It is Great Sage Windwalker!"

"Shit."

Yang Qi's complexion was ashen when he saw that Green Hell Gale. How could he ward off Great Sage Windwalker, one of the Five Great Law Protectors of the Spreading Rainbow Star Field's Green Underworld Sword Sect.

Great Sage Windwalker.

Chen Mo recalled the opponent who he ended up defeating after being challenged during last night's banquet. However, it appeared that last night's banquet hall was too small, completely incapable of letting the man demosntrate his speed. After he reached the wildlands, he was surprisingly much more vicious.

Yang Qi and the others recalled the banquet.

"Brother, hurry and deal with him."

"You all said it was a fluke, how can an Earthly Immortal like me handle him. Besides, there's still that whatever Ancestor Void Underworld behind himAnd a woman." Chen Mo was not stupid enough to be their shield.

"What? A woman!"

Yang Qi's expression was even more bitter when he heard this.

"I did not expect that even the Green Underworld Sword Sect's guardian Star General would come, too."

"Seems they also want to seize the Purple Rose Chest."

They were vexed.

They were no match.

Great Sage Windwalker stepped upon the light and divine wind, showing an excited grin. He stared at the five escape lights over the plains. "Little rats, hurry and run, let us see if you can run away from This Great Sage's Underworld Wind Escape."

His Divine Intent moved. Several dozen green swords flew out, spurting out a tongue of flame.

Sword-light clashed like smoke and flame over the plains.

These Flying Swords were abnormally fast, shooting right before them with lightning speed. Their blades swirled with an underworld breeze, covering the sky with a sword-net.

Everyone realized they could not outrun him, that they could only stop him.

"What do we do? There is no place to hide here." The female cultivator gravely said.

"Great Sage Windwalker is no more than Universe Origin Three Boundaries, and neither Ancestor Void Underworld nor the Star General are here. We may as well team up to kill him." The other middle-aged cultivator spoke. Although he was Universe Origin Hole Boundary, he was fully confident, fearless, and terrifyingly composed.

"Fellow Mo Chen, we must work together. Otherwise, the Purple Rose chest will be taken by them first." Yang Qi also said.

"Are you kidding, the enemy is a Great Sage, and there are also Ancestor Void Underworld and a Star General. Are you sending us to die?" Wu Chi screamed. This situation was already beyond his expectations.

Sword-light flickered. They united and used their Flying Swords to barely ward off Great Sage Windwalker's sword chant.

"I think we had better scatter. There is only one of him. If the five of us separate, one or two of can escape. Let us see who is lucky." Wu Chi sneered.

1. So it seems the enmity between Hu Mi and Su Shengxiang has continued through the generations
