荒墟牧神 - 第1530章 濟世寶舟 - 墨香閣

Heavenly Venerable Hao walked into the Zixiao Hall, but the other Heavenly Venerables did not follow him in. Fire, Gong, Zu, and Void had all regained their former appearance; only the Divine Emperor Langxuan still wore the look of a man in his dotage, bent and aged. He had been the last to pledge himself to Heavenly Venerable Hao, and he was moreover Hao's half-brother by the same father; as a punishment, Hao had not restored his lifespan.

"In other words, Heavenly Venerable Hao has some method or treasure that can shield him from the aura of the calamity of destruction in the Long River of Chaos. Did the Fourth Young Master give it to him?

No wonder Heavenly Venerable Xiao was defeated. That Fourth Young Master has staked a fortune on Heavenly Venerable Hao! " Shen Mu's eyes flickered.

With Taisu at his side, the Divine Emperor Langxuan must have been subdued by Heavenly Venerable Hao, unable to break free of his control.

In the struggle at the Jade Capital of the Ancestral Court, Heavenly Venerable Hao's faction had won a complete victory, while Heavenly Venerable Xiao's faction had been utterly routed. Langxuan was gone, and Shi Qiluo and Yan Tianfei had been captured by the Ancient God Taiji; the two Ancient Gods meant to experiment on them, attempting to fuse them together.

And because Heavenly Venerable Xiao was Taichu, and a Heavenly Emperor besides, proud and lofty, hard to subdue, only by being brought low could he be made to submit utterly; therefore the Third Young Master of Miluo Palace had given him no treasures and no support. The Third Young Master of Miluo Palace had waited until he was defeated and had nothing left, and only then reached out to save him, taking him into the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

The two Young Masters of Miluo Palace handled matters differently, perhaps reflecting their different natures: the Fourth Young Master acted the moment a thought came to him, decisive and absolute, while the Third Young Master planned before he moved, soft and insidious, patient and enduring. "I should be going. " When Shen Mu's gaze fell upon Heavenly Venerable Fire, Gong, Void, Zu, and the rest, they sensed it and all looked his way.

Now, apart from the Divine Emperor Langxuan, whose cultivation and strength had not been restored, the other Heavenly Venerables were likely far more formidable than when they had entered the Jade Capital of the Ancestral Court; if he stayed here any longer, Shen Mu would surely fall to their murderous hands.

Shen Mu smiled at the woman in the Dao Fruit. "Along the way I have been graced by your care, elder sister.

Before we part, I still do not know your name.

Might I be permitted to hear it? " The woman in the Dao Fruit had always found him thoroughly disagreeable, and Shen Mu had once mocked her as a fool; but since he had asked twice, she could hardly refuse to answer, and said reluctantly, "I am Nanxiang.

In the last universe, I was honored as Nanxiang Yuanjun. " Shen Mu nodded slightly and introduced himself with great solemnity.

"I am Shen Mu. Some call me Sect Master Shen, some call me Heavenly Venerable Mu, Shen Jingping, the Imperial Preceptor of Jingping.

And some scoundrels call me Shen the Wrecker, Shen the Beast, Shen the Swindler, and the like — all of it slander, not to be believed. " The woman in the Dao Fruit wore an expression that was not quite a smile. Shen Mu glanced into the distance and saw Heavenly Venerable Fire, Heavenly Venerable Void, and the others coming toward him side by side, while the Ancestor God King and Heavenly Venerable Gong were laying down divine powers along the way.

Clearly they had found him and meant to encircle and destroy him here, leaving him no way to escape. Shen Mu stepped away from Miluo Palace and said with a smile, "Nanxiang, why are you always without clothes? Lying there bare in your Dao Fruit — is that a custom of your last universe?

" Nanxiang Yuanjun was mortified and furious.
