" Meng Yungui said, "Yin Tianzi also said that when he heard the Celestial Master had suffered an ambush, his heart was filled with dread, and he wished he could gallop over at once to beg the Celestial Master's pardon with brambles on his back; yet with a heavy burden on his shoulders, he dared not leave his post without leave, and he begs the Celestial Master not to take offense. " Shen Mu waved a hand.
"These are trifles. Tell Yin Tianzi that I do not blame him; the enemies who came against me have all been killed, so let him not trouble his heart over it.
" Meng Yungui said with feeling, "The Celestial Master is magnanimous beyond measure. If Yin Tianzi heard this, he would surely weep tears of gratitude and be too choked to speak. " Shen Mu laughed heartily.
Meng Yungui laughed along with him, then changed tack and said gravely, "Celestial Master, I hear the enemy has received reinforcements — the direct old retainers of the traitor Shen Ye, the armies of Fengdu, with several bandit chiefs hidden among them.
These past days two Celestial Masters have inquired of us, saying that with the Fengdu traitors come, I fear Yin Tianzi will find it hard to take Taixu Youdu any time soon. Does the Celestial Master Mu have a plan to deal with this? " Shen Mu pondered a moment, then said, "I too have received word: the Great Emperor has been reborn and has escaped from the Realm of Supreme Consciousness. Compared with the rebel faction of Shen Ye, the Great Emperor is the true threat at our heart.
" Meng Yungui's brows rose, and he said thoughtfully, "The Celestial Master speaks truly; the Great Emperor is indeed the threat at our heart!
But then, how should Fengdu and Taixu Youdu be dealt with? I beg the Celestial Master Mu to instruct me. " "This is simple.
" Shen Mu said with a genial countenance, "My niece, the Celestial Master Xu, is the daughter of Tubo. If she takes a hand, to say nothing of paltry Fengdu, breaking Taixu Youdu will be easy as lifting a finger.
" Meng Yungui laughed softly. "If the Celestial Master Xu goes to attack Taixu Youdu, then Kaihuang and the Creator's God-King will have their chance to join hands and attack the Celestial Master Huo.
The Celestial Master Huo cannot hold up a roof alone.
" "Then transfer another Celestial Master here from the Heavenly Court. " Shen Mu mused for a moment, then said, "Three Celestial Masters will be enough to handle the present situation. " Meng Yungui clapped his hands and laughed. "A fine idea indeed! Might I ask which Celestial Master the Celestial Master Mu thinks should be summoned?
" Shen Mu said in a deep voice, "I believe it must be the Celestial Master Xiao. The Celestial Master Xiao and the Celestial Master Huo are both of the human race and the closest of friends.
If he goes forth, the traitor Shen can be crushed. " Meng Yungui said thoughtfully, "The Celestial Master speaks most truly, most truly.
.
. Does the Celestial Master think that after the Celestial Master Xiao departs, Yuanmu, and the Celestial Master Xiao's divine artifact, the Yutianzun, might be snatched away by bandits who suddenly appear?
" Shen Mu clapped his hands and roared with laughter. Meng Yungui laughed heartily along with him.
Shen Mu praised him: "The Celestial Master Meng is a clever fellow.
Then which Celestial Master do you think should be transferred?
" Meng Yungui smiled.
"How would your servant dare to transfer a Celestial Master? Still, if the Celestial Master Hao could come to Taixu, it would be excellent indeed.
The Celestial Master Hao was not allotted any territory, so he need not worry that after he leaves, bandits will take advantage of the void and seize the divine artifact Yutianzun. Moreover, the Celestial Master Hao's martial power is great; with him here, the chaos in Taixu can be put down. " Shen Mu sighed.
"You rank second among the Four Celestial Masters?
" "Yes.
" Meng Yungui bowed.
