When the Nether Heavenly Emperor had laid his curse, all those people died; only he escaped with his life. This place had become the ache of his lifetime. "Classmates, teachers, this time I will not run. " He prostrated himself in solemn reverence to those old friends.
When he rose again, his Dao heart was full, flawless, clear as jade. The First Ancestor turned and walked out of Jade Bright Palace, out of the Hall of Human Sovereigns.
Outside the Hall, the Human Sovereigns of every era were waiting in utter silence, each leading an army.
The First Ancestor's gaze moved across the faces of the Second Ancestor, the Third Ancestor, and the others, and finally came to rest on Village Warden Su Muzhe. He smiled and said in a low voice, "For twenty thousand years, the Hall of Human Sovereigns has been the guardian of this land. For twenty thousand years, generation upon generation of Human Sovereigns stood alone against heaven above, against the Heavenly Court, against oppression and injustice.
But today, after twenty thousand years, it is different. " He stepped forward through the ranks, his voice ringing: "We have many comrades on the Way now.
We have many companions who share our heart!
At our backs stands Jingping, risen from the ruins left by the gods of the Heavenly Court!
" His right hand pointed south.
"Human Sovereigns of the Hall, this life exists to shield this land!
Follow me, kill the enemy!
" The great army roared into motion. Human Sovereign Qikang raced to the front, snickering, "Little Su, can you still manage? You're old! " Village Warden Su Muzhe's face did not move. He glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.
Suddenly his vital blood seethed; he turned from an old man into a youth, his body covered in magnificent muscle, a divine sword held in his arms. Another glance from him, and the sword intent in his eyes clipped Human Sovereign Qikang down by a head. Human Sovereign Qikang laughed loudly.
"You're a good hand at beating down master and ancestors, just as I taught! But my grand-disciple is even stronger!
" The Human Sovereigns all roared with laughter, and the sound shot into heaven and scattered the clouds.
In the Carefree Land, at the Realm of Supreme Clarity, a divine messenger hurried out of the teleportation gate with a letter from the Imperial Preceptor of Jingping.
Shen Mu unfolded the letter, which said that the Azure Emperor of the Eastern Heaven was too cautious, holding stubbornly to his defenses and refusing to fight. Jiang Baigui therefore wished to borrow a certain wedding gift that someone had given when Shen Mu married. Shen Mu's expression became strange.
"What would Junior Brother Jiang do with the scale of the Eastern Emperor Azure Dragon? " Cloud Venerable's voice sounded: "The Azure Emperor of the Eastern Heaven and the Eastern Emperor Azure Dragon share a great hatred.
For the Imperial Preceptor to break the Azure Emperor by starting with the Azure Dragon is indeed a brilliant move.
"
