“Not a bad feeling, is it?” A sneering voice woke Gou Zi from his stupor. The cloaked person had appeared from since who knows when.
Gou Zi’s expression flashed with so uncertainty, but was promptly replaced with a flattering smile. “This was all thanks to your help. If not for you, how could we have accomplished this so easily? However, to think that Lin Chong had already signed a Star Duel Covenant contract…”
“Do not worry, I will help you annul the contract.” The other party said casually.
“How would we do that?” Gou Zi asks in shock.
“When Lin Chong is at her weakest and her master does not appear to interfere, the Star Duel Covenant will automatically annul itself.”
Gou Zi was startled. He had heard that once two people have signed the contract, it would bind them more strongly than any shackles could, equally dividing all the joys and sorrows that cos with their bond. Once contracted, Star Knights must share with their Master a portion of their Star Energy, and at the sa ti Star Masters must also complete certain requirents. Things like abandoning their Star Knights who was in danger for whatever reason would cause the Covenant to annul itself.
Of course, whether the Covenant’s judgent was based on the subjective betrayal of the Master or other objective asurent was still unknown. For the past nine generations of Star Duels, instances of annulled contracts were extrely rare, with any remaining records talking very vaguely about the subject.
“Basically, you must not let her Star Master get close to her or this will all fail.”
“Hmm, Lin Chong’s Star Master does not seem to have a very high cultivation. The two elders shall stand guard nearby. If he dares to get close, he will die instantly. Ha ha, I heard that killing the Star Master could also annul the contract, I don’t know if that’s true or not.” Crown Prince Gou Zi laughed coldly.
“You are talking nonsense.” The other person spoke without any emotion: “Since I can even give you Lin Chong to contract, I can also easily destroy you. Clearly you must understand this.”
Gou Zi nodded repeatedly. From his pocket, he tooked out a single token. Even though he was sowhat regretful, he could see that the mysterious person in front of him was not exactly a saint. Soone who could easily deliver Lin Chong into his hands was not soone he would dare to provoke, even if he had eaten leopard galls for dinner.
The other person’s arms swung up, causing the Token to disappear from sight.
“Lin Chong sis, I am truly sorry. I will take care of Young Master in your place.” A stream of sound echoed directly inside Lin Yingi’s mind.
Lin Yingi was currently constantly restrained by the Heavenly Cycle Northern Dipper Array absorbing all her Star Energy, her head was deep in confusion. However, she still recognised the clue in that voice.
“It’s you!!!”
“Star Knights all only wish to serve a good master, and I have finally found my perfect one. I beg Lin sister to forgive . It’s a sha that Star Masters cannot make two contracts at the sa ti, if not, I would also be willing to serve Master alongside Lin Chong sis… At that ti, I promise I will return you your freedom, though I will have to offend you for now.” The calm voice in her head sighed resignedly.
Lin Yingi’s originally coldly protesting expressions suddenly beca as still as stagnant water, turning silent. “Protect Master well!!”
“Un!”
“What are you talking about?” Gou Zi was confused.
The cloaked figure hmph coldly and then turned around and teleported far away.
In the courtyard, the only thing left was sounds of a long sigh.
She, the Panther Head Lin Chong, have also felt regretful about the timing of the situation.
“Hmph, Lin Chong, you should obediently beco my Star Knight, I will not treat you unfairly!”
Bang!!
Loud tremors from all directions reverberated violently.
Lin Yingi stood up, her Arctic Star Serpent Spear’s piercing through the ground, almost breaking through the centre of the array circle. Gou Zi was so scared he thought his soul was leaving his body.
“This servant is the Majestic Star Panther Head Lin Chong, and in this life I will have only one master!!”
—
Several streams of lights shot by, stopping Shu Jing in his tracks.
After Shu Jing avoided the attack, around five tres away, the elder nad Wen He slowly stepped out to stand before him. He appraised Shu Jing. Seeing the shining Star Symbol on his forehead, Wen He clicks his tongue: “You are Lin Chong’s Master? You don’t seem to be anything special. Lin Chong was truly blind to sign a contract with you. This truly makes one angry.”
Finished speaking, he casually shot out an attack.
In his palm, an illusionary iron ball ford. The ball then disappears and then suddenly returns, this ti right in front of Shu Jing.
A loud bang resounds; the ground was split open with a large gaping hole remaining.
“What a useless trash, so easy to kill.” Wen He laughed heartily.
The sound of wind screeching echoed by his ears.
Wen He’s pupil contracted. In a flash he instantly spun around, his Thunder Cry Sword used as a shield in front of his body. One could then only hear several sounds of gunshots rang out. The overwhelming force behind the attacks nearly pushed Wen He back, and even when he managed to defend against it, his hands still could not help but shake violently.
“How could this be!” Wen He looked at the empty hole on the ground, disbelieving that he was able to escape his “Annihilation Bead”.
Shu Jing spat. This Nebula Stage cultivator was on a totally different level than the cultivators he had t before. What’s more crucial is that his Star Energy bullets were also not very effective.
But Shu Jing did not want to waste too much ti struggling here, but instead his mind was focused on Lin Yingi, for an ominous premonition was growing in his heart. Since the bullets did not work, Shu Jing used the Chaotic Tail Escape Technique.
“What kind of movent technique is this?” Caught by surprise, Wen He imdiately felt ashad and angry. He angrily laughed: “Just a small Stardust Middle Stage cultivator, yet you to want to play around with ?”
Wen He’s body suddenly moved. As if he was an arrow leaving the bow, in a blink of an eye he almost caught up to Shu Jing.
Even though Shu Jing’s Chaotic Tail Escape Technique was very formidable, there were downsides. Repeated uses will exacerbate the damage of his wounds. After going through it several tis, Shu Jing was feeling pains that perated through his bones.
“Thunder Cry Sword, go!”
The Nebula Stage cultivator shouted coldly.
A streak of light suddenly shot forward, its speed extrely fast. With just the first stage of the Chaotic Tail Escape Technique, there was no way for Shu Jing to avoid it. The sword stopped him in his path. A lightning symbol appeared, causing dark storm clouds to appear, summoning lightning and thunder.
The Thunder Cry Sword’s sharp pointed blade made it hard for Shu Jing to escape.
Wen He pointed his finger, Star Energy circulating, a streak of lightning imdiately shot through Shu Jing’s shoulder. His entire body burning with pain, Shu Jing’s feet slowed down at the sa ti.
Wen He used this chance to give orders to the “Thunder Cry Sword”
At that ti, a shadow suddenly appears near the vicinity of the Thunder Cry Sword. Before Shu Jing could regain his sense, he was already caught tightly by soone. He could only follow as the other person threw out a talisman, causing a loud bang, shattering the entire earth beneath them. In the blink of an eye, they were gone.
Wen He stood still in shock. Using his Divine Intent to search, but was unable to find anyone. He retrieved the sword and turned over the talisman on the ground.
“Divine Ground Teleportation Talisman! Hmph, this damned rat!”
Wen He shouted a curse and shredded the talisman into pieces.
***
Shu Jing’s body felt like it was moving through the ground, his mind deep in chaos. By the ti he had regained his senses, he has already left the Grand Border Fortress far behind and had appeared on an empty patch of land in the middle of the grassland.
Shu Jing tightly gripped at the cloaked person’s body, pulling down their hood. He tried his best to get a glimpse of the person’s face, but his shoulders were still in pain from the continuous usage of Chaotic Tail Escape Technique. The pain made him feel as if his soul was being forced out of his own body, causing his mind to drift into unconsciousness. Before passing out, he vaguely saw the figure of a beautiful young girl wearing a short green skirt with braided ponytails, her face steeped in worries.
So unknown ti later, Shu Jing slowly opened his eyes.
He was enveloped in a comfortable and warm sensation. The figure of a ravishing body with soft smooth skin was currently clinging to him tightly. Shu Jing’s heart moved as he looked at the girl’s plain naked body gently wrapping around him, her fulfilling embrace causing his entire body to feel like it was on fire.
Of course, the girl was none other than Song Lu!
A cold glint of light suddenly appeared in Shu Jing’s eye. He casually pushed her off.
“Young Master, you have woken up?” Song Lu’s eyes opened, half-awake, paying no mind to their intimate positions.
Shu Jing looks towards the sky. It was already twilight, which ans hours must have passed. Thinking about Lin Yingi, Shu Jing imdiately put on his clothes and planned to leave.
“Young Master, please don’t go!”
Song Lu anxiously clung onto Shu Jing.
Shu Jing pushed her arms off him. He stared at her coldly.
“Are you done?”
Song Lu appeared shocked. “Young Master, what do you an?”
“Song Lu, do you really think that only you are capable of coming up with clever sches?” Shu Jing’s eyes have never been so brutal. His fingers curled around Silver Blade’s trigger: “Just as Yingi encountered a difficult situation, you show up to rescue . Are you just going to say this was all a coincidence? Sorry, I don’t buy it.” Ever since eting her for the first ti, Shu Jing has always been suspicious of her true identity.
Only because she has shown genuine sincerity towards them did Shu Jing chose to ignore this. He has heard Lin Yingi talk about the Star Maidens who did not possess amazing strength, and thus needing to always keep a low profile. He had thought perhaps Song Lu was one of such cases.
When the situation with Crown Prince Gou Zi’s man happened, Shu Jing was once again suspicious, but before he could delve into it, Lin Yingi was already distracted by the Relic Blade Sand.
Thinking back, the Relic Blade Stone was clearly all part of her plan, a bait for Lin Yingi. Needless to say, with Lin Yingi’s real strength, two Nebula Stage cultivators were not enough to cause Lin Yingi and him to beco completely separated. The only explanation would be that the Crown Prince Palace had set up a trap specifically for Lin Yingi, causing the Majestic Star to be caught off guard.
As his eyes moved towards the surrounding, he recognised that this was the Mountain Lake Labyrinth.
“Do you still plan to deny it?”
After being silent for awhile, Song Lu slowly recovered her calm. She revealed a weak smile, her eyes staring at him: “Young Master is so formidable. I had thought that this was a flawless plan that did not leave behind any traces. You are indeed worthy of being the Master I want to spend the rest of my life serving!”
“Exploiting the trust you have built with others and then betraying them, this doesn’t really require any especially cunning plans.” Shu Jing looked at Song Lu coldly, “If sothing were to happen to Lin Yingi, I will personally kill you!”
Just as Shujin turned around to leave, Song Lu suddenly spoke: “Young Master, if you wish to save Lin Chong sis, I have a very good thod!”
“What did you say?”
“All you need to do is willing annul the contract with Lin Chong, and then sign a new Star Duel Covenant contract with . That small Heavenly Cycle Northern Dipper Array will no longer be able to hold the Majestic Star!” Song Lu’s tightly pulled on her coat, her two long slender legs pressing together.
Shu Jing gave her an indifferent glance before ignoring her.
Song Lu called out: “Young Master, if you really want to make it clear to you, Grand Border Fortress has over ten thousand soldiers and two Nebula Stage cultivators. Young Master, if you leave, you will die. Isn’t it a much smarter idea for you to just sign a contract with ? This maiden can guarantee that if Young Master knows my real identity, you would understand that I am much more promising than Lin Chong!”
“Is this all part of your plan?” Shu Jing turned, his voice fascinated: “You orchestrate a hopeless situation that put your target at a dead end, then you offer them hope to achieve your goals… This is quite heartless, you really are making view you in a different light than before.
“Seems like nothing gets past the Young Master. This is making all the more excited to contract with you.”
Song Lu revealed a smile, her body slowly radiated a hazy green light aura. In the dark, it looked almost dream-like. This was Song Lu’s Star Knight’s State.
A green feather fan appears in Song Lu’s hands along with a powerful aura of authority overflowing.
Soone who had sophisticated sches, was cunning and intelligent, with plans that had everyone eating from her hands. Without even needing Song Lu to introduce herself, Shu Jing could already guessed her true identity.
In Liangshan, there could be only be one person like her.
The Liangshan Continent’s number three Star Knight.
