Chapter 1774 — The Heavenly Feather Scroll of a Hundred Weavings
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
. " Before he had finished, the sky suddenly convulsed, and a huge face appeared in the heavens, blotting out half the sky over eastern Jingping -- it was the face of Tianzun Mu.
"Shang Jun!
Shang Jun!
" The mouth of that face, wrought of vital energy, opened and closed, and Shen Mu's voice came forth: "Dao Achievers from before history have descended; I need your help. If you are still in Jingping, come quickly to the place where the sword-light appeared.
I am waiting for you! " The foreman and the assembled Divine Ability cultivators gaped, all turning to look at Shang Jun, muttering inwardly: "Little Shang could not be that Shang Jun whom Tianzun Mu is seeking, could he? " Suddenly Shang Jun shot into the air; thirty-five peals like thunder rolled across the sky. That 'Little Shang' had started from the works and in a single step crossed thirty-five layers of void!
"I am taking two days' leave -- I will come back and finish the work!
" came Little Shang's voice from beyond the heavens.
In the works, the crowd stared wide-eyed and open-mouthed at the sky, and for a long while could not collect themselves. In the thirty-fifth layer of void, aboard the World-Ferrying Golden Ship, Shen Mu and Lan Yutian waited in silence, when suddenly a figure flickered and a young man of wholly unremarkable features stood before them. Shen Mu's spirits lifted: "Shang Jun has come. Brother Yutian, in this battle the three of us will each take one of the prehistoric Dao Achievers.
Of the three of us, the weakest link is you. You need not kill with your own hands; you need only hold that Dao Achiever in place. As soon as either Shang Jun or I finishes with his opponent, we will come at once to your aid!
" Lan Yutian hesitated: "Then you must be quick. I could never hold off a Dao Achiever of Miluo Palace.
" Shen Mu said flatly: "Rest assured, Shang Jun and I are more than fast enough. Shang Jun! " His gaze settled on Shang Jun, and his voice deepened: "This time we do not know who has come from Miluo Palace; but the eight years are not yet fully passed, so whoever comes must be no small matter -- most likely a being of Hall Master rank. Your aim in this battle is to kill your opponent. If you cannot kill him. .
. " Shang Jun understood him: "I will send him off crippled. To leave whole from beneath my blade is absolutely impossible. Once I have left a Dao wound on him, you can follow the traces of that wound, and finding him will not be hard! " Shen Mu breathed out in relief and smiled: "With that word from you I am at ease.
Brother Yutian, the locations of these three Dao Achievers of Miluo Palace! " Lan Yutian at once turned vital energy into a map of the Yuan Realm, marking the places where the three Dao Achievers of Miluo Palace had descended, and said: "These three Dao Achievers have almost fully descended. If we disturb them, they will surely take alarm and escape us. If a Dao Achiever slips away, finding him again will be difficult. More terrible still, if they lodge their great Dao in the void, their strength will return to its peak, and then I fear not one of us could deal with any of them.
" Shen Mu studied the three marked positions on the map and said in a low voice: "So we cannot touch these sixteen blood-sacrifice altars; destroying any one of them will rouse their alertness.
We must reach the three positions at the same time. Brother Yutian, you take the World-Ferrying Golden Ship to the farthest one. The golden ship accelerates all the way; when you arrive its speed will be at its utmost.
Drive it straight in and ram him!
Shang Jun!
" His eyes flickered: "You go and kill the nearest one.
The place where this Dao Achiever has descended is very strange -- Dayou City, southwest of Jingping. Dayou City has a great many inhabitants; from where he has come down, he should be in the midst of a busy market.
To kill him without destroying Dayou City and without harming its people will depend on your skill.
