Chapter 1410 — The Scapegoat Heavenly Venerate
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 3
" Shen Mu said helplessly, "Brother, your edge is too keen of late. No sooner had the Grand Emperor revived than he crippled Heavenly Venerate Hao, gravely wounded Heavenly Venerate Huo and Heavenly Venerate Xu, maimed Heavenly Venerate Shen and Divine King Langwan, and in the battle of the Ancestral Court heavily struck the four great Heavenly Venerates Xiao, Yan, Zu, and Lang.
Your limelight is too fierce.
Can the Ten Heavenly Venerates still tolerate you? If you gain the primordial giant beasts besides, your death day will truly have come. This opening of the Beast Realm may not be a bad thing for you. " Consort Qiang stared at him. Shen Mu did not change countenance. "I speak for your sake. Think, if there were no Beast Realm, Heavenly Venerate Gong and Divine Emperor Langxuan, mother and son, would take the greatest profit.
If they do away with you, they will surely monopolize all the giant beasts.
Why make a wedding dress for others? " Consort Qiang burst into a laugh, bewitching and lovely, and said, "I know the sense in it, only having been tricked by you, my heart is unwilling. My flesh body was all but utterly ruined because of you, yet you would stand aside untouched, and my heart is ill at ease. " Shen Mu probed, "The Heavenly Emperor's body remains in your grasp.
When I rescue Heavenly Venerate Ling another day, and you possess that body, your skill will surpass even the past. " "Do not dream of getting Heavenly Venerate Ling out! " Consort Qiang sneered, "I would rather leave the body of Taichu the Heavenly Emperor and my primordial spirit forever in the Celestial River! Heavenly Venerate Mu, you spoiled my good affair, and you must produce real gold and silver, not fool me with empty phrases!
" Shen Mu pondered a moment and said with utmost sincerity, "From Heavenly Venerate Hao's heart I refined his essence blood, and within each drop lurks an imprint of a heavenly palace. .
.
" Consort Qiang turned anger to joy and laughed, "Heavenly Venerate Hao's heart was my gift to you, yet I never thought you could refine such a treasure. Give me a share, and this matter shall be lightly set aside! " Shen Mu wore a look of fleshly pain.
"With Heavenly Venerate Hao's heavenly palaces I traded with Consort Yan for half the Taishi divine stones. . .
" "That spendthrift woman the Empress promised you so many Taishi raw stones? " Consort Qiang was astonished, then sneered, "But I shall give you nothing! Hand the things over!
" Shen Mu had no choice but to hand over thirty-five drops of Heavenly Venerate Hao's essence blood, which Consort Qiang examined carefully before pocketing, then swept away. Shen Mu wore a black face and thought to himself, "Luckily I refined a great deal of essence blood from Heavenly Venerate Hao's heart, and can sell it several more times.
.
.
" "My Lord Heavenly Venerate! Divine Emperor Langxuan seeks audience!
" The same palace maid rushed in again in a fluster to report. Shen Mu choked with anger, rose to his feet, and raged, "Girl, are you born under a broom star?
You only ever bring ill tidings!
" "Heavenly Venerate Mu, is my visit ill tidings to you? " Divine Emperor Langxuan's voice came from outside, drawing ever nearer, and Shen Mu hastily sat down, watching Divine Emperor Langxuan stride into the main hall with a smile, "I went astray in my cultivation.
.
. " "I have already heard, and Heavenly Venerate Mu need say no more.
" Divine Emperor Langxuan took his seat and said leisurely, "Gone astray, legs paralyzed.
With Heavenly Venerate Gong and Consort Qiang coming to visit, if you were not paralyzed they would beat you into paralysis, so you might as well first pretend to be paralyzed and show weakness to the foe. Heavenly Venerate Mu, your heart is filthy. " Shen Mu coughed repeatedly to cover his embarrassment and said, "To what do I owe the Divine Emperor's coming? Can it also be for the Beast Realm?
