As for Shangcang, Long Qilin had led the beast armies to block it within the Western Heavenly Gate, so none could sally forth to rescue. "How did Fatty Long come to be here?
And why is there only one clone of Lingguan here? " Shen Mu halted, sweat pouring from his whole body like浆, his divine sense rippling to join with Long Qilin.
In an instant their senses exchanged all.
There was indeed only one clone of Palace Lord Lingguan, arrived not long before, for Yue Tingge had long known the Heavenly Court would not spare the Western Lands, and so had laid his array early, ready at any time for enemies from the rear.
The Lingguan clone had walked of his own accord into the trap, delivering himself into the net, caught red-handed.
As for Long Qilin, it was because Bai Yuqiong in Southern Heaven and.
.
. "That is to say, Palace Lord Lingguan has not at present gone to Southern Heaven, and where two clones should have come to the Western Lands, only one has come! " Shen Mu frowned deeply.
By all reason, to be safe, Palace Lord Lingguan should have sent two ancient-god clones to kill Yue Tingge and Western Emperor White Tiger.
Western Emperor White Tiger, within her own territory, was also an existence of Heavenly Worthy rank, while Yue Tingge, though his battle power was only of Celestial Master rank, was of supreme wisdom, the first to break the Glazed Azure Heaven Banner Formation, and men of the Heavenly Court had once praised him as worth three masters single-handed!
By the three masters they meant the Divine Master, the Earth Master, and the Water Master!
Two ancient-god clones of Palace Lord Lingguan could easily dispose of the pair, but to send only one clone was overconfidence.
"If Lingguan has not gone to Southern Heaven, then of the three remaining clones, one must go to the World Tree of the Ancestral Court! And the other two clones must also be going to the World Tree! " Though Shen Mu was worn to exhaustion, his mind grew ever clearer: "Emperor Haotian invited him to slay the commanders of the armies of my Jingping and the Land of No Sorrow, but Lingguan has a purpose of his own, which is to go to the Ancestral Court and undo the seals beneath the World Tree of the Ancestral Court, letting the prehistoric stowaways enter this universe and raise a calamity!
" "Emperor Haotian has his schemes, and Lingguan has his own schemes!
To prove my guess, there is only one way!
" His body moved abruptly and he rushed into the Great Heavenly Court Formation laid by Yue Tingge. Western Emperor White Tiger, seeing this, at once ceased her attack, while Yue Tingge kept up the formation lest the Lingguan clone escape.
The Lingguan clone felt his pressure lighten, then saw Shen Mu standing before him, and his face changed slightly before he laughed aloud: "Seventh Young Master, your speed is unmatched under heaven, but I am not slow either. After all you have not yet attained the Way and are not yet a young master of the Mile Palace. This battle you have already lost.
The Third and Fourth Young Masters are bound to descend and send you to the primeval universe to make you the Seventh Young Master!
Then the Seventh Young Master will have to thank me! " Shen Mu pointed a finger.
Lingguan hastened to block, but blocked only air. His ancient-god clone had also begotten a primordial spirit, and with one finger Shen Mu struck that spirit out of its body to float in the air. The spirit tried to flee, only to discover in horror that it could not move at all. Shen Mu spread five fingers, and the spirit of the Lingguan clone split with a clang into heaven, earth, and spirit, three souls divided into three.
Shen Mu reached with two fingers and pinched its spirit soul, drew a circle in the air with his left hand, then flicked his finger and sent its soul into that wheel. The spirit soul holds memory, and within that wheel like a mirror, the memory of this soul of Lingguan was at once replayed!
