Chapter 1656 — You Have Been Collected by Me
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
I have reserved a place of retirement for the Retired Emperor: the Eastern Pole Heaven. As for the Azure Dragon of the Eastern Pole Heaven, I shall trouble the Retired Emperor to deal with him. After all, he has already died in battle in the Southern Heaven, and I do not wish him to still be alive. " Taiyang Zun frowned, and Taiyin Zun said: "Brother Taichu, you lost — why blame us? Things vie, nature selects; the fit survive.
You cannot adapt, and plan to retire in seclusion, but we still seek the Dao! " "Two fellow Daoists, you have already become Ten Heavenly Venerables, just as We once did. " Taichu sighed, then laughed long and loud: "We — haha, I have truly become a lone man now!
" His spirits sunk low; he waved his hand, turned, and departed for the Eastern Pole Heaven.
The Haotian Emperor had won a great and complete victory, full of ambition and satisfaction.
The Golden Ship of Salvation sailed through the void, when suddenly Shen Fengqing and Taishi came flying through the void, leaping onto the ship.
Taishi shook his head and said: "There was no chance to dispose of Xutian Zun and the Ancestor God King — the two Taiji Ancient Gods arrived.
Their strength is exceedingly great; Datou and I found it hard to seize the opportunity to kill them. " Shen Mu nodded and said: "It is only natural that you could not dispose of them. One of these two holds the Xuandu, the other holds half the Youdu. By now Yin Tianzi should be dead, and for Xutian Zun to seize the whole of the Youdu should be no difficult matter.
These two pose a fatal threat to Jingping — even to the Yuan Realm! " He frowned slightly. Still more fatal was the Haotian Zun. Now the Haotian Zun stood alone in dominance, and with Lady Yuanmu's aid, even Taichu was no match for him.
Given Taichu's temperament, he would certainly surrender all his power.
More crucially, Taichu would never throw in his lot with Jingping; on the contrary, if the Haotian Zun moved against Jingping, Taichu would still come out of retirement to lend aid.
After all, their interests were still bound together. That the Ten Heavenly Venerables were a community of shared interests was no empty saying.
Once one became one of the Ten Heavenly Venerables, it was all but impossible to extricate oneself from that community of interests! "Little brother, Huotian Zun still has a clone in Jingping — who will deal with him?
" Shen Fengqing asked.
Taishi mused: "The Yanxiu Emperor should already have made arrangements, no?
Among Jingping's younger generation there are many experts; we need not concern ourselves.
" Shen Mu thought for a moment, then said: "The Emperor need not send anyone.
Huotian Zun's clone will find it hard to escape death as well. The one who most wants him dead is not, in truth, any of us — it is the Haotian Zun.
" Shen Fengqing and Taishi looked somewhat perplexed; the two pondered deeply, when suddenly Shen Fengqing clapped his hands and said: "I understand! The one who most wants him dead is actually the Haotian Emperor!
Was it not the Haotian Emperor who moved against Huotian Zun this time? The Haotian Emperor also has a clone in Jingping. He certainly will not let this opportunity slip — he is bound to strike at Huotian Zun's reincarnated body! " Shen Mu smiled. His elder brother had truly grown up.
Jingping.
Beside the Wendao Academy of the Dide Heavenly Palace, Zhaixing Peak.
Ling Yuxiu, clad in imperial robes, with only a few attendants at her side, came to the palace at the summit of Zhaixing Peak and addressed the palace: "Master Xing, these years you have lived in seclusion, avoiding the world.
I have had the fruits of Jingping's reforms sent to you without cease. You have received no small benefit, Master. I wish to ask you to do something. " "The Emperor has shown me kindness — speak freely," came a youth's voice from within the palace, carrying a note of childishness.
