The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 4
Heavenly Venerable Moon looked at him with a smile and said softly, "That is enough.
Rein it in.
" Shen Mu felt a chill in his heart and hastily restrained himself. Heavenly Venerable Moon took her seat, swept her gaze around the room, taking in the expressions of all the Heavenly Venerables, and said in a clear voice, "Fellow Daoists, the Heavenly Alliance was founded by the three of us together with Heavenly Venerable Yun and Heavenly Venerable Ling. You may oppose Heavenly Venerable Shen, but would you also oppose me? You may oppose me, but would you also oppose Heavenly Venerable Yun and Heavenly Venerable Ling? Then among us five founding elders, who is left that you do not oppose? " Divine Emperor Langxuan sneered, "Heavenly Venerable Moon, we do not oppose Heavenly Venerable Mu!
You and Heavenly Venerable Ling conspired to slay Mother Earth Primordial Sovereign. Mother Earth was of high virtue and great prestige, yet she fell to your foul hands! Heavenly Venerable Mu is clean and spotless, he has never done such evil! Why can we not oppose you?
" Shen Mu kindly reminded him, "Divine Emperor Langxuan, we were just speaking of how Mother Earth ran amok and slaughtered a million heavenly soldiers and generals of the Heavenly Court. Ancestral God King was on the verge of tears. Everyone said Mother Earth Primordial Sovereign was utterly wicked, an accomplice of the Heavenly Duke just like Heavenly Venerable Shen. Why does the Divine Emperor instead speak for this villain? Could you be a partisan of the Heavenly Duke?
I refuse to believe you are such a person.
" "You! " Divine Emperor Langxuan was left speechless, tongue-tied.
If they forcibly pinned the killing of Mother Earth Primordial Sovereign on Heavenly Venerable Moon, then Kaihuang would be absolved and become an innocent man. If they did not pin it on Heavenly Venerable Moon, then she had far too few stains on her name, leaving them no handle to grasp, and Shen Mu would smoothly install her into the Heavenly Alliance. That Heavenly Venerable Moon divided their interests was a small matter; the crux was that she divided hearts and minds.
Shen Mu and Kaihuang were skilled at bewitching the hearts of men.
Their words just now had already left them burned and battered. If Kaihuang and Heavenly Venerable Moon were allowed to infiltrate the Heavenly Alliance's leadership, it would not be long before many worlds among the heavens and myriad realms belonged not to the Ten Heavenly Venerables, but to them! He looked downward and saw that below, the gods and sages of the Second Heavenly Court and the First Heavenly Court were whispering among themselves, discussing heatedly. With three of the Heavenly Alliance's great elders arriving together today, the hearts of the Heavenly Alliance wavered.
Of the Heavenly Alliance's five founding elders, three had now arrived. Shen Mu was easy to handle, for his cultivation was not high, his strength still weak, and his faction could not compare with theirs. But Heavenly Venerable Shen commanded the great power of Carefree Land, was allied with the prehistoric Creators, and secretly communicated with the Heavenly Duke, Earth Earl, and other such beings.
If he also gained the support of certain forces among the heavens and myriad realms, with many Heavenly Venerable-level beings backing him, he could stand as an equal to the Ten Heavenly Venerables! Shen Mu wore a troubled expression, hesitated a moment, then said with fervor, "Moreover, Divine Emperor Langxuan, you do not know that Mother Earth Primordial Sovereign, that utterly wicked villain, has already been executed by me.
" At these words, an uproar arose, and the sovereigns of the myriad realms discussed it all the more. Shen Mu declared loudly, "That is right.
