The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
The Ancestral God King, greatly relieved, immediately led the Xuandu army free of Shen Mu's divine treasury domain.
"Ancestral God King, go with Heavenly Venerable Xu and blood-sacrifice Jingping!
" the Fourth Young Master said calmly. The Ancestral God King bowed, then led the Xuandu army away.
The eyes of the Third and Fourth Young Masters fell upon Shen Mu.
In the Lanfeng Valley, Lan Yutian's three days were drawing to a close; Granny Zhu took over at once, preaching the Dao and expounding her understanding of the Zuting Dao-realm system. Heavenly Venerable You frowned.
The army of Youdu gods, demons, and monsters coming from the Yuan Realm's Youdu could not escape his notice; but now, with three and a half of his realms crippled, he was no match for Heavenly Venerable Xu at all!
What was more, the gods, demons, and monsters under Heavenly Venerable Xu's command were beyond counting; even if he could hold her off, he could never hold off such a vast army of gods and demons!
At the same moment, Heavenly Venerable Yue looked toward Langwan; the two women understood each other without a word, rose, and prepared to meet the Xuandu Ancestral God King in battle.
A Chou rose to his feet and said to Tiangong: "Brother in the Dao, none of the others can be sent out; to go out is to risk their lives. Only you and I have not cultivated the Heavenly Palace system, and so we still preserve the strength of our peak.
This is our battle; today it cannot be avoided.
If we succeed today, we may attain the Dao; if not, we die and our Dao vanishes.
" Tiangong hesitated, then rose and fetched fifty supreme treasures of the Heavenly Dao, saying: "That unfilial son, the Ancestral God King, does indeed require me to deal with him.
But, brother in the Dao, you must be careful — Heavenly Venerable Xu is one of the Ten Heavenly Venerables, and she is no longer your daughter. Take good care of yourself!
" A Chou smiled: "In this life, I mean to become human, to make this life of mine complete. Heavenly Venerable You, can you hold off the Youdu gods, demons, and monsters?
" Heavenly Venerable You looked at him, his expression complicated. A Chou's eyes showed hope; Heavenly Venerable You nodded and said: "The Benevolent Sage King of Tianqi commands Youdu — that was conferred by Lord Tu.
Of course I can hold them off.
" The Benevolent Sage King of Tianqi was the Sage King of Youdu, personally invested by Lord Tu; Heavenly Venerable You's bond with Lord Tu was even closer than his bond with Shen Mu. Though Lord Tu had been reincarnated as A Chou, so long as he asked, Heavenly Venerable You could not bear to refuse, even knowing how great the peril of A Chou's errand would be! A Chou's ugly face broke into a smile; his figure slowly sank into the Yuan Realm's Youdu, and he said joyfully: "Today is the day my Dao-heart reaches perfection. " Heavenly Venerable You trod upon a paper boat and followed him into the Yuan Realm's Youdu.
His figure swayed, and with a swish-swish-swish, countless old underworld runners appeared, treading paper boats, dense beyond counting, hundreds of millions of them, quietly awaiting the arrival of the Youdu god-demon army!
