Chapter 484: Huang Chaos Wounds

Huang Yuheng turned his head back to look at Chen Mo chat cheerfully with Su Mian, feeling very confused. When did Dream In A Millennium become so close with this man.

"Fuqing, just what is the background of this Chen Mo, are you unsure, too?"

Han Fuqing wrote her article, giving an easygoing reply: "He is able to defeat Su Wanyang. Having this strength gave him Her Majesty's respect. I heard he is a disciple of Mount Hua who has defeated Yang Su. Even "Sage Of History" Sima Shun gave him a very high evaluation. Rumor is that he will have a ‘Star Record.'"¹

"What, a Star Record?" Huang Yuheng was flabbergasted. The full name of "Star Record" was "Star Name Biographical Record."² Only very famous Star Names had the qualifications to be added to the biographies in the Records of the Grand Historian. A cultivator able to obtain this glory was simply inconceivable. Furthermore, he was not a character the likes of Dream In A Millennium.

"Of course, that is merely a fanciful proposal. This will depend on his future growth. However, in this Literary Excellence Convention, his Poetry Realm is nevertheless not bad. I am unsure of his writing." Han Yu finished her brush stroke and stared at her own article, not very satisfied.

"Hmph, I must suppress him in this Literary Excellence Convention. I have your many years of aid, Fuqing, I cannot possibly lose to him." Huang Yuheng's heart swelled with that pride.

"Not number one in writing. What he said is very true, Yuheng. You cannot haggle for victory, otherwise you will lose your frame of mind and disturb your will." The Hundred Generations Exemplary Writer warned him.

Huang Yuheng nodded.

After a moment, the man lovingly said: "Nianwei!"

The golden-eyed suan'ni brush stopped on the paper, drawing a claw-like stroke, as if she had sunk into contemplation. Han Yu then lifted her head. The girl's heart churned in conflict, yet her expression was still one that the "Sage Of Writing" ought to have, tranquil and unpretentious. "Nianwei…This is my previous name. You should have forgotten about her."

"Ai, why did you change your True Name to Fuqing…Could it be, I truly have disappointed you?" Huang Yuheng sighed.

"How can sublime and profound works be written with burgeoning childish sentiments. You have slightly disappointed Fuqing just now."

Huang Yuheng fell silent.

…

Chen Mo and Su Mian chatted a while longer then left this private booth. Then, Su Mian uttered a few more things and took her leave.

In another secret study, Su Mian entered the room and leisurely and elegantly steeped a cup of tea.

"What is happening with Huang Chao."

A shadow appeared in empty space. That shadow gradually receded, revealing a woman in skintight black clothing. The woman knelt. Though her face was covered, her eyes were a terrifying black.

Her identity was "You,"³ a member of the "Siyou," a direct subordinate of Su Mian's secret intelligence organization.

"Huang Chao's jade pendant has already reached purple color."

"Hm? Why was she also able to reach purple level?" Su Mian furrowed her brow. She delicately steeped her tea. According to her understanding, that Huang Chao Star Name had never been apprenticed to a master. She was not even a spiritual power Star General. She should not have been able to reach this level.

"Li Shimin dispatched ‘Official Of Five Absolutes' Yu Shinan,⁴ ‘Painting Apotheosis' Yan Liben⁵ and ‘Buddha Of Poetry' Wang Wei⁶ to assist her, to increase her jade pendant's power to this level."

"She unexpectedly had such a cheap trick." Su Mian raised her brow: "However, if it was not obtained on the person's own merits, then the sages' aspirations should be incapable of being bolstered."

"Yes."

"It seems Li Shimin only wants to let Huang Chao into the Ten Thousand Sages Hall." Su Mian picked up the teacup and gently sipped, savoring the flavor. Dream In A Millennium narrowed her eyes: "She plans to make Huang Chao handle Su Shi in the Ten Thousand Sages Hall. If she actually enters the Ten Thousand Sages Hall, This Palace is indeed unable to intervene."

"You" knelt on the ground to listen to her master's orders.

"Withdraw. Monitor Li Shimin's people." Su Mian said.

A black fog surrounded the woman, and she instantly vanished from the room.

Su Mian set down her tea. Using the School Of Diplomacy's mobility arts, her eyes glowed, and she warped through time and space.

…

Miluo Star River, a high place.

Huang Chao sat cross-legged in meditation, meticulously preparing her final items to enter the Ten THousand Sages Hall. On her chest was even the Purple Rose Qi Star Marquis Seal of the Ancestral Dragon. If she was able to enter the Ten Thousand Sages Hall, inflict damage on Su Shi or even kill her, then her mission was complete. However, Huang Chao was not satisfied at all. THis Literary Excellence Convneiton gathered so many of Star World's spiritual power Star Generals. As the "Sky Soaring General," she certainly would make the world see just what "filling the city with golden armor" meant.

"When the day in autumn comes, my flower will bloom when all the others are gone. My surging fragrance will flood Chang'an, filling the city with golden armor…This Ode to Chrysanthemums is truly wonderful. It will not lose to ‘he asked if I would be the Green Emperor.'"

All of a sudden, the sound of movement came from empty space.

Huang Chao's expression changed, and she suddenly stood.

The boundless void opened, and a flight of stairs seemed to appear. Then, a girl in a purple skirt and purple silk walked out. Her steps were graceful, bringing a breeze through the forest.

"As expected of the one Li Shimin chose…En, boundless killing intent. Makes even This Palace astonished." "Dream In A Millennium" Su Mian sized up Huang Chao. This woman was dressed in golden silk and armor, bearing an evil aura.

Upon mention of "he asked if I would be the Green Emperor," Huang Chao's expression became even more unsightly. "This General does not know how that man plagiarized This General's poem. Wait until I enter the Ten Thousand Sages Hall, I will definitely make him pay!!"

"From This Palace's perspective, in terms of Realm, Chen Mo is actually even higher than you. What plagiarism. Actually, Your Distinguished Self's evil aura is too heavy. This is not very suitable for entering the Ten Thousand Sages Hall, so as not to profane the ancient sages." Su Mian smiled.

"I never imagined that Dream In A Millennium, master of the Central Star Field, would actually speak up for a vulgar man. Ha, ha, too brilliant." Huang Chao laughed.

Su Mian was elegant. She extended her hand, and the Birth Treasure Outline appeared. She looked at the outline's information and said: "You are so self-deceptive, you actually turned the artistry of this line ‘my flower will bloom when all the others are gone' into something as vulgar as the common people."

Star Position: Heavenly Chrysanthemum Star

Star Name: Huang Chao

Nickname: Sky Soaring General

Innate Skill: Golden Armor

Five Elements: Metal

True Name: ???

Servant Star: None

Star Number: Undefined

Star Weapon: Dragon Claw Golden Lotus (Seven Star)

Realm: True Phoenix Eighth Stage

Yellow Rank: …

Life Details: …

Looking at the materials of the Birth Treasure Outline, Su Mian was puzzled. This Huang Chao was only True Phoenix Eighth Stage, unable to handle Su Wanyang. However, that Li Liangyi had always handled matters calmly and confidentially, taking care of everything. Perhaps she had some hidden trick. 

"Your Majesty, looking at someone else's secrets is a very rude thing to do. Did your father not teach you?" Huang Chao brought out her Star Weapon, a chain-like armament that appeared similar to a dragon's claw. The chain was shaped like golden flower petals, layered over one another as if blossoming, very beautiful.

Su Mian lowered her gaze. Her quiet and gentle eyes were filled with a storm of displeasure.

"Seems I touched upon Your Majesty's sore spot." Huang Chao sneered: "Am I to apologize? Your Majesty."

"Originally, you should die here, but this is the Literary Excellence Convention. This Palace does not wish to see a Starfall. For now, This Palace can only render you incapable moving against Su Wanyang." Su Mian seemed to be recounting something insignificant.

Huang Chao smiled in spite of her anger. The woman in front of her was honestly looking down on her too much. "Long have I heard that Dream In A Millennium is far stronger than the Star Marquis. Today, I, the Sky Soaring General, want to witness that."

The woman shouted. The Star Weapon Dragon Claw Golden Lotus chain in her hand swept, drawing a ripple-like golden line. Powerful Star Energy charged forth, unstoppable.

Su Mian was expressionless. She casually flicked her finger, as if she was flicking away a housefly, repelling the Dragon Claw Golden Lotus.

For the Dragon Claw Golden Lotus' second strike, the chain became a golden dragon. The claw seemed to grow a hundred times and grab at the young woman.

"Earth Rank: Golden Dragon Grab!!"

The Outer Void Flying Immortal Swords manifested as sword-spirits from out of thin air. Purple sword-light crossed the world, and with a whooshing slash, they sliced the edges of the dragon claw, instantly breaking the Earth Rank. The sword-spirits descended upon Huang Chao, and the golden silk on her body promptly became golden armor that blocked the swords. This was Huang Chao's Innate Skill.

The golden armor cracked.

This is bad, this Dream In A Millennium is too powerful, I am no match for her.

With just one blow, Huang Chao felt a frightening disparity. Her Innate Skill Golden Armor was surprisingly unable to block even one attack, and she was but True Phoenix Eighth Stage in Realm.

Huang Chao grit her teeth, circulated her Star Energy, and activated her Innate Skill Golden Armor. At the same time, she utilized her Poetry Realm – Filling The City With Golden Armor.

Golden light shrouded her whole body, producing golden soldiers everywhere.

"First year of Jintong!!"

Purple qi surrounded Su Mian's entire body. She did not want to let Huang Chao use her Heaven Rank to disturb this Literary Excellence Convention. All she needed was to injure the Sky Soaring General to the point she was more or less unable to cast her Heaven Rank. Dream In A Millennium brainstormed rapidly. She pointed her finger, and the Outer Void Flying Immortals Swords' absolutely beautiful sword-spirits danced. Sword-light after sword-light blockaded Huang Chao's surroundings, closing her in. The smallest speck of air was sliced to pieces.

Huang Chao was stunned, and then she noticed that she lost track of Dream In A Millennium's figure.

All of a sudden, the woman felt a chill along her back. A bone-chilling terror pierced her back and spread throughout her entire body. Su Mian had instantly appeared behind Huang Chao. The swiftness of her speed was surprisingly difficult for even the True Phoenix Eighth Stage Huang Chao to guard against.

"The chrysanthemum has been the symbol of integrity and poise under the brushes of countless writer, yet Your Distinguished Self Huang Chao would assign to it overbearing murderous aura. After filling the city with golden armor, This Palaces feels that the life of your Star Name should have reached its end, Huang Chao."

The girl spoke softly, her every word like a clear song. Huang Chao the space and time around her slow under the girl's voice. Huang Chao wanted to resist, but she was suddenly powerless. Her whole body seemed to no longer belong to her.

A series of purple lights flit by.

This was Su Mian's ability, "Purple Cloud East Approaches."

Su Mian's palm smacked Huang Chao's back. The girl groaned, and her vision immediately turned black.

…

The spiritual power Star Generals and cultivators attending the Literary Excellence Convention in the Lesser Court Hymns all sat in seats surrounding the Ten Thousand Sages Hall. Several tens of thousands of people all waited for the convention's finale, Hundred Sages Simultaneously Shout.

The spiritual generals and cultivators in possession of purple jade pendants and able to enter the Ten Thousand Sages Hall were already ascending the stage.

"Spread Fear To Subdue Enemies" Hou Junji Hou Xihan⁷ anxiously looked around. The time had come, yet somehow she had yet to spot Huang Chao's figure. "Huang Chao did not get cold feet, did she?"

"Official Of Five Absolutes" Yu Shimin calmed her. "No, she is unable to flee the Miluo Star Field right now."

"But…"

"Hmph."

Huang Chao walked over.

"Huh, Huang Chao, what happened to you." Hou Xihan was about to say something when Yu Shinan suddenly noticed this woman's complexion was frighteningly pale, without any color. Her gait was unsteady, and her entire body's aura was in great disarray.

"How are you so heavily injured? What happened?" Hou Xihan was startled, then immediately infuriated: "How are you to stop Su Shi like this."

"Hmph, I still have not used the Purple Rose Qi. Even if I die, this time…I will make her realize my might." Huang Chao coldly said. She was not concerned with the two startled women. She walked towards the stage, but that staggering gait nevertheless made clear that though her spirit was willing, her flesh was weak.

"Her Majesty Su Mian intervened." Yu Shinan pursed her lips.

"Ah, Huang Chao is completely unable to kill Su Shi like this. What should we do?" Hou Xihan was a bit flustered.

"Xihan, calm down." Yu Shinan softly said. "This was within the Heavenly Khan's calculations."
