Chapter 1729 — Bloodbath at Jade Cliff Pass
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 5 of 6
The defeated Southern Heaven army was completely annihilated by the forces of the Red Emperor and the Southern Emperor Yanyu. The Red Emperor and Bright Emperor also led the Red-Bright army in belated arrival. The commanders met at Jade Cliff Pass, each silent, wordless.
The battle of Jade Cliff Pass had been too brutal.
Yet Shen Mu had no way to send more troops—he could only let the First Ancestor and the others pile up flesh and blood, hold the line with their bodies.
The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
Suddenly a voice came, clapping and laughing: "You are all quite good, quite good indeed. Worthy of those trained by the Seventh Young Master—fearless of death in battle.
Southern Emperor Vermilion Bird, Red Emperor, Bright Emperor—the three of you gathered together saves me the trouble of seeking you out one by one.
" All turned toward the voice and saw three Ancient Gods of strange appearance striding forward. These Ancient Gods looked truly bizarre, yet among all the heavens and myriad worlds, there were no such three.
It was baffling. "The Supreme Heaven Emperor commanded me to come and eliminate the Southern Emperor, the Red Emperor, and the Bright Emperor.
" One of the Ancient Gods laughed: "The rest of you, I will not kill a single one.
Three fellow Daoists, please. " In the Wuyou Township, the Supreme Clarity Realm. Shen Mu's eyes flickered: "Heavenly Venerable Yun, if I were the Third Young Master or Fourth Young Master, I would never let the Second Young Master separate from the Supreme Heaven Emperor. I would seize the opportunity to seal the Second Young Master within the Supreme Heaven Emperor's body, not allowing her out to stir up trouble!
That way, we would have one fewer to deal with.
" "One fewer, and we can win? " Heavenly Venerable Yun stepped forward and asked.
Shen Mu asked, "Do you know what the most useful construction of the Jingping Reforms was?
" Heavenly Venerable Yun shook his head.
"The most useful was the teleportation portals that Emperor Yanfeng, with reddened eyes, emptied the national treasury to build.
" Shen Mu smiled: "My father-in-law nearly emptied the treasury back then, hiding in the imperial palace eating chaff and wild herbs, almost selling off even the emperor's robes! Later it was I who supported him, and only then did he pull through. And after my wife ascended the throne, she went even further. Every city, every pass, every territory of Jingping—she built teleportation portals.
The teleportation divine ability was created in the era of the Founding Emperor.
The Wuyou Township also has such portals.
" Heavenly Venerable Yun said, "You mean?
" "The Lingguan Hall Master flying to various places takes time.
Different locations, some fast, some slow—there is a time differential. " Shen Mu said: "Between you and me, the one who remains must reach the battlefields in various places within an extremely short time, to slay his thirty Ancient God avatars! " Heavenly Venerable Yun said: "But the one who remains must deal with the Second Young Master and the Supreme Heaven Emperor! " Their gazes met, then each shifted away from the other's eyes. "I will stay. " Heavenly Venerable Yun smiled: "I cannot, like you, handle the Lingguan Hall Master's thirty Ancient God avatars.
My speed is not as fast as yours either.
You leave Lord Shang to me to deal with the Primordial Beginning; I will deal with the Second Young Master. Did you not say I could handle the Second Young Master?
This idea—I have already thought of it. " Shen Mu did not look directly into his eyes.
He smiled: "I believe you have already thought of it.
" He was silent a moment: "Back then, across the Heavenly River, across time and space, I raised a cup to you, and you could only respond with the water of the Heavenly River.
Today, you and I must drink until we are good and drunk!
