What a grand face you have. " Heavenly Venerable Xiao said coldly, "Heavenly Venerable Mu, do not forget that taking your life is but the snap of a finger to me.
You dare to be so insolent before me?
" Shen Mu laughed heartily, then his face suddenly turned cold. "You need only snap your fingers to kill me; I need only move my lips to kill you. Your Majesty, not many people know of your reincarnation.
" Killing intent blazed in Heavenly Venerable Xiao's eyes. "You have come for the bodies of Her Majesty the Empress and Jue Wuchen. How laughable, that a Heavenly Emperor should be so blinded by greed!
" Shen Mu said indifferently, "If I give you the Empress's body, if I give you Jue Wuchen's body, could you still use them to threaten Heavenly Consort Yan? Heavenly Consort Yan has long since had no need of that body. As for Jue Wuchen, you only treat her as a plaything.
For the sake of these two things, you would offend me?
" Heavenly Venerable Xiao sneered, "And why can it not be said that for the sake of these two things, you would offend Us? " Shen Mu said with a light laugh, "The Empress can cast off her body, but you cannot.
I can break the ghost ship, and I can break Heavenly Venerable Ling's divine art. Offend me, and do not dream of getting your body back! " Heavenly Venerable Xiao's eye twitched. Shen Mu flicked his sleeve. "Withdraw.
" Heavenly Venerable Xiao gnashed his teeth and turned to walk away. When he came abreast behind Shen Mu he suddenly halted, turned his head, and said, "Heavenly Venerable Mu, you are no longer something I can control or grasp.
You have grown quickly. " Shen Mu said calmly, "Thanks to you. During the Jingping Calamity, I learned a great deal from you.
" Heavenly Venerable Xiao smiled faintly and drifted away, his unhurried voice drifting back, "And yet, you do not understand what the great tide is.
So long as Jingping endures, you will never escape my grasp!
"
