Maiden Galaxy

Chapter 360: Sorrowful Like Yanluo

Yu Juluo's expression was like a demon's, and her entire body produced black qi. Behind her, a malevolent asura's specter appeared. "Demon Faced Military Commander" faced Yang Shuang's Heaven Rank head-on. She lifted her arm, and black light spilled from her fingers. Yu Juluo did not hesitate to charge forward.

The black light was like a black hole suddenly forming between her and Yang Shuang.

Mountain Backed King Yang Shuang stared. For the first time, she showed a terrified expression, and she let out a shrill scream, "Yu Juluo!" Before the power of her Heaven Rank could launch, Yu Juluo's black qi became black storms that surged into the sky and ripped apart space. Yu Juluo seized Yang Shuang's neck and dove into a zhang-sized black hole together with her.

The might of the Heaven Rank that made even the Western Lin Star Field shudder was instantly devoured entirely by the black hole, vanishing without a trace.

Chen Mo panted. All the strength in his body seemed to be sucked away. He looked at the black hole.

The black hole was like the maw of an abyss. Power that made his hair stand on end was emitted from within it, and Chen Mo could immediately sense extreme danger just from being close to it.

Yu Zan's whole body trembled in terror, her teeth chattering.

"Elder Sister's…Heaven Rank…Gods And Demons: Sealed Slaughter…How can this…be…"

Gods And Demons: Sealed Slaughter?¹

Heaven Rank?

Chen Mo took a deep breath. Her very first move was a Heaven Rank. Just how terrifying was this Yu Juluo. Even if she was a first-rate Star General, to use a Heaven Rank right off the bat was to greatly injure her own Star Name, and she would not necessarily be able to succeed.

Several moments later, all of a sudden, a Crimson Star fell from the sky into the black hole.

Everyone was shocked.

They knew that either Yu Juluo or Yang Shuang had already Starfallen while in the black hole.

The black hole's power slowly dissipated. A figure leisurely walked out from the black hole. Chen Mo's heart leapt to his throat. His whole body stretched taut, and he tightly gripped his weapon. So long as he saw an unwelcome face, he was prepared to fight with everything he had.

The black smoke slowly cleared, revealing the woman's appearance.

Tall, introverted, and morbidly pale. For the first time, the apathy filling her slender eyes made Chen Mo feel that this indifference was very friendly.

Her "Double Pupils" were suffused with frightening black light. Her eyes were like a demon's, gradually vanishing into nothingness.

"Yu Yanluo."

No mistake. In the end, the woman who walked out of the black hole was none other than Demon Faced Military Commander Yu Juluo.

Yu Juluo's cheeks were stained with blood as if it was rouge, painting a ghastly sight upon her wan complexion. In her hands, she held the two Water And Fire Prisoner Dragon Staffs. She casually tossed the iron rods away. When they landed on the ground, they let out a muted sound, as if mourning their master's fall.

Yu Yanluo nodded at Chen Mo, as if thanking him for his assistance.

Then, the woman made a beeline for Yu Qingluo.

"Evil Faced Banner Commander" Yu Zan cut an unbearably sorry-looking figure. She pitifully crawled along the ground. Heavily injured, she hardly moved a few paces when Yu Yanluo already stood in front of her and looked at her own younger sister.

"Elder Sister…" Yu Qingluo's lips quivered, and her eyes were full of fear.

Yu Juluo stooped down. She warmly extended her arm and propped up her little sister. Yu Qingluo felt her Elder Sister's warmth, and her body's tremors greatly calmed. The girl's cheeks streamed with tears of repentance. "Forgive me , Elder Sister, Qingluo shouldn't have fallen to temptation, shouldn't have been envious of Elder Sister. From now on, Qingluo will definitely swear devotion and loyalty to Elder Sister…"

Yu Yanluo grunted and gently nodded.

A sinister glint was suddenly released from her double pupils. Her fingernails became five long blades that pierced through Yu Qingluo's body.²

The girl's smile vanished, and she stared at her Elder Sister in a daze.

Yu Yanluo's expression was cold as ever, her pale skin apparently even sicker.

Chen Mo, Sun Yingmeng, and the rest were stunned. No one expected that Yu Yanluo would be so cold. Without giving anyone a chance to respond, she killed Yu Qingluo.

"Elder Sister…" The light in Yu Qingluo's eyes slowly faded. Finally, her body became a wisp of smoke that returned to Maiden Mountain.

Another Crimson Star fell from the sky.

Yu Qingluo lowered her head, and her bangs covered her face. No one could see her expression, but Chen Mo could clearly sense grief from the woman's body.

The Star Weapon in her hand, "Serene Profound Pity Firefly,"³ was a blade similar to an iron claw. It was a bit similar to Vajra Wolf claws, however, Chen Mo knew that Yu Juluo's talons were much more formidable than Vajra Wolf claws. Blood flowed along their edges.

Yu Yanluo lifted her head.

She walked towards Wen Zhenzi.

In contrast to Yu Qinluo's terrified pleas for mercy, Wen Zhenzi was very calm, already prepared for what would come next. He knew that Lady Military Commander Yu Yanluo thoroughly loathed betrayal. Any treacherous behavior would be met only with the cruelest reprisal.

As things stood, Wen Zhenzi could only, in the end, force a smile for being unable to overcome his greed. If he had not envied Chen Mo and desired to obtain Yu Yanluo, perhaps he would not be so sorry.⁴

"You have greatly disappointed This Military Commander." Yu Yanluo stood in front of him, her tone a bit disheartened.

Wen Zhenzi stared at his Lady Military COmmander's face. He knelt and lowered his head: "Your Servant has not sufficiently cultivated Daoism. In the end, Your Servant was unable to resist the desire to possess Lady Military Commander. This Wen has failed Lady Military Commander's love."

Yu Yanluo grunted, remaining noncommittal.

"Lady Military Commander was able to pass through this crisis. Your Servant is grateful, but it is a pity that Your Servant can no longer accompany Lady Military Commander nor risk life and limb for you."

Yu Yanluo was silent.

Wen Zhenzi rose and cupped his fist towards Chen Mo: "Fellow Chen Mo, hereafter, Your Servant requests that Fellow aid the Military Commander. Yanluo appears cold, but she is not unreasonable."

Chen Mo was taken aback when he saw that Wen Zhenzi seemed about to commit suicide as atonement. He said to Yu Yanluo: "Yu Yanluo, nobody is perfect, everyone makes mistakes. He betrayed you this time merely because he was jealous of me, but in truth, he just wants to sign a contract with you to protect your life. He didn't want to hurt you at all. Just give him a chance to redeem himself this time."

Sun Yingmeng supported Li Xiao as they walked over. The King Of Medicine looked at Wen Zhenzi in pity, "Yes, This Lady feels he is very sincere, you should give him a chance."

"Wen Zhenzi cultivated for so many years at Mount Hua, and he is very powerful. Right now, you need this strength." Li Xiao spoke up for this old sectmate.

Wen Zhenzi smiled: "Everyone, there is no need to plead on my behalf. This Wen can only blame himself for being unable to discern the situation."

"Lady Military Commander, please take care of yourself in the future."

Yu Yanluo was frighteningly indifferent. She did not utter a word, showing no fluctuations from start to finish.

Wen Zhenzi turned his bruised and battered body around and dragged himself away, sighing in his heart.

He recalled all kinds of thoughts, unable to help but feel his heart tear in grief. Then, Wen Zhenzi suddenly roared: "Yang Su, you framed the Military Commander, pay with your life!!" His figure moved and dashed up the mountain. His Jade Emperor Chant was wielded to the limit, the Clear Sky force boundlessly mighty. The thirty Flying Swords became long spears, their formation like a forest as they attacked.

At the top of the mountain was a scholarly woman wearing a purple gold crown and white Confucian robes.

Wen Zhenzi wielded his Star Energy at its maximum, which was sufficient to churn rivers. Nevertheless, Yang Su did not even look at him. Her snow-white fingernail moved like she was flicking a gnat.

A white string took shape out of thin air, instantly entangling Wen Zhenzi's attack.

The man seemed to be caught in a spiderweb. He struggled endlessly, fully aware he would not likely escape disaster. Wen Zhenzi bellowed and used his Primordial Spirit for a self-detonation. After an Earthly Immortal cultivated a Primordial Spirit, it was practically a second life. A Primordial Spirit concentrated a cultivator's lifetime of cultivated magic energy. This self-detonation changed the color of the sky, and a powerful astral wind and energy shook Heaven and Earth. The summit that Yang Su stood on immediately collapsed and disintegrated.

If a cultivator used their Primordial Spirit for such a suicide attack, that would thoroughly destroy their body and soul.

Chen Mo subconsciously glanced at Yu Yanluo. Fleeting distress appeared for a mere instant in the girl's eyes, but in the end, she still watched everything indifferently.

"I never thought that you would actually raise such a sincere piece of trash. What a pity his gaze was short-sighted."

Yang Su walked out from the dust of the debris. An Earthly Immortal's Primordial Spirit explosion posed little threat to her; it felt like she was bit by a mosquito. She patted the dust off her clothes, her eyes cold.

Chen Mo saw Yang Su appear, and he gripped his weapon tightly once more.

Yu Yanluo took several steps forward, a luster slowly flooding her double pupils. A Star Crest appeared on her forehead.

Yang Su's gaze flickered, as if she was somewhat afraid.

"Yu Juluo, you killed Yang Shuang, you betrayed the Monarch. You should die to atone."

"Yang Shuang wanted to kill me, This Military Commander acted only in self-defense. This Military Commander has never once thought of betraying the Monarch, but should I be betrayed, then This Military Commander will forever be your enemy." Yu Yanluo's every word was chilling to the bone.

"Ha, ha, as expected of the Demon Faced Military Commander. Vicious and decisive. Cold-blooded and merciless. You did not even blink when you killed your little sister. Yang Su has truly underestimated you." Yang Su said.

"Yang Chesu,⁵ do not feign composure. If you want to kill me, make your move now." Yu Yanluo coldly raised her Serene Profound Pity Firefly.

"If I kill you now, would that not be a charge of rebellion. This name, Chesu, cannot bear that." Yang Su said: "You killed Yang Shuang, today's matters will not be swept under the rug. I will report to the Monarch, and when the time comes, your life will be in the Monarch's hands."

"Yu Juluo hereby declares a clear conscience!"

Yu Yanluo coldly said.

Yang Chesu raised her hand. The Water And Fire Prisoner Dragon Staffs on the ground flew into her palm. Seeing the Destined Star Weapon of the Mountain Backed King were dim in her hands, an icy, bone-chilling cold flickered through Yang Su's eyes. She stared profoundly a Chen Mo, a meaningful smile flitting across the corner of her lips.

"Double Pupils, what splendid Double Pupils, that they are able to let you instantly use Heaven Rank to kill Yang Shuang. Xiang Yu has been born, and right now, your Double Pupils skill is unable to distinguish friend from foe. Good, very good." Yang Su smiled, turned, and vanished.

Only when the Western Lin Star Field was thoroughly devoid of Yang Su's presence did Yu Yanluo suddenly sigh. Her vision went dark, and she fell backwards.

Chen Mo swiftly stepped forward and caught her, "You okay?"

Chen Mo was taken aback.He looked at that pair of pupils concealed under Yu Yanluo's bangs; they were like stagnant waters.

Yang Su said that Yu Juluo did not so much as bat an eye at killing her own little sister. She was wrong.

Yu Juluo was not cold-blooded. Rather, she was in so much pain, she was unable to blink.

"Chen Mo, what's going on with her?" Li Xiao approached.

Sun Yingming took a look: "Yu Yanluo is fine. She is merely experiencing recoil right now from consecutively absorbing two Crimson Stars and forcibly activating her Heaven Rank. A brief period of self-cultivation will help her."

Now that Yu Yanluo suffered the double betrayals by her little sister and personal guard, Heaven knew what that Yang Su was planning. For the time being, they were unable to go to Fish Intestine City.

"Let's take Yu Yanluo back to Mount Hua?" Chen Mo asked.

The two girls nodded. As things stood, with Yang Shuang's death, Mount Hua could not possibly deal with the aftermath, though there was no other choice. Furthermore, having personally witnessed Yu Yanluo kill her own little sister, Li Xiao did not feel any fear or revulsion towards this Demon Faced Military Commander. On the contrary, she felt that this apparently cold and detached woman was actually quite sorrowful.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao tightly gripped Sun Yingmeng's hand.
