Chapter 1277 — Enemies Meet Face to Face on a Narrow Road
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 3
If someone else found Lord Hao first, and instead of killing him, spirited him away, would all their efforts not be wasted? "Bai Yuqiong seems to have feelings for Celestial Master Zixi.
.
.
" The more Shen Mu watched, the more suspicious he became.
The tenderness in her brows and eyes was on the verge of overflowing, yet still she would not deal a fatal blow, and far too much time was being lost. "Bai Yuqiong has lived nearly two hundred lifetimes; she counts as an old hand of the world.
Could she really never have seen that Celestial Master Zixi is Yan Yunxi in man's disguise? " Shen Mu suddenly coughed, and called out in reminder, "Celestial Master Bai, Celestial Master Zixi is indeed mighty in divine arts, a formidable rival of yours! That woman's true name is Yan Yunxi.
She dresses as a man and plays with people's feelings; she is among the most heinous villains under Kaihuang's banner. She must not be spared!
Let me lend you a hand!
" At these words Bai Yuqiong's mind was thrown into sudden chaos. The inner demon Zixi seized her chance, and Bai Yuqiong nearly fell into her sure-kill tribulation formation; she escaped in sorry disarray, and raged, "Yan Yunxi?
Dressed as a man? Playing with my feelings?
" To Shen Mu's satisfaction, Bai Yuqiong rallied her strength, and the inner demon Zixi's death was a hundred times more wretched than those of the inner demon Yin Tianzi and the inner demon Shen Mu! Bai Yuqiong walked over, her face expressionless, plainly deeply displeased. She said coolly, "Lord Mu, let us make haste. We must not let others steal the first merit!
" Shen Mu followed her cautiously, saying not a word. Bai Yuqiong said not a word either. Shen Mu stole a glance at her, and saw that tears had wet both her cheeks.
Shen Mu's heart gave a jolt. He opened his mouth, but said nothing.
"Playing with my feelings! Yan Yunxi--" Bai Yuqiong ground her teeth, her killing intent boiling, and it made his blood run cold, as though he had plunged into a dark abyss.
"Heh heh.
.
.
" Shen Mu laughed dryly twice, the corners of his eyes twitching, and thought, "Yin Tianzi played with feelings and ruined Di Yiyue; Yan Yunxi plays with feelings and has led Bai Yuqiong astray. Both of them will likely come to grief.
Still, Yan Yunxi is at least Kaihuang's second Celestial Master; I ought to warn her first and let her prepare.
Then again, she should be helping Kaihuang handle affairs of state, so I will not run into her for the moment. . . " Scarcely had he thought this when a donkey's bray suddenly came from ahead: "Hee-haw, hee-haw--Black Cat, Brother Sanduo, you two are hopeless! You cannot even beat the Heavenly Court's Zhenwu Attendant. Just watch what I can do!
" Shen Mu's expression shifted slightly. That bray belonged to none other than Yan Yunxi's mount, the Great Devil King Lu Zheng. "This is bad!
" he thought.
If the Great Devil King Lu Zheng was here, then Yan Yunxi was certainly here as well!
Remembering the state of the inner demon Zixi's corpse, Shen Mu could not help but shiver several times.
Bai Yuqiong's face was as calm as still water, and the killing intent about her grew ever heavier.
"Mm.
When Celestial Master Bai makes her move on Celestial Master Zixi, I will keep my distance. As for this matter, I shall simply pretend I never said it.
. .
" Just then, someone ahead suddenly cried out in a loud voice, "The head of the Divine Artifact Lord Yu is right here!
Everyone be careful, Lord Hao must be nearby! " Shen Mu was startled and delighted at once. "Lord Hao is nearby?
It seems this time he cannot escape his doom! " He and Bai Yuqiong hurried forward. Along the way, colossal corpse walkers crouched prostrate upon the ground, leading countless inner demons in frenzied slaughter. Bai Yuqiong and Shen Mu forced their way through, Shen Mu doing battle with every manner of inner demon while Bai Yuqiong fought the corpse walkers.
