The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 4
" Palace Master Hehuan told the two of the Third Young Master's plan, saying: "There is no time to lose. Let us act at once. " Hao Tiandi was silent a moment, then said: "Just now the two of you together could have calmly slain Shen Ye and his rebels.
Now that you have given them time to prepare, killing them will be hard.
" Palace Master Phoenix smiled: "Giving them time to prepare is also giving us time to prepare. In these past days, Palace Master Zengcheng has descended, along with several Dao-attainers.
Our strength has greatly grown, and victory is in our grasp.
" Hao Tiandi's heart stirred, and he looked toward Jade Capital City, where among the forest of Dao Trees several trees suddenly turned lush and green and quickened with life.
Clearly, with the deaths of Palace Master Zhaoyang and the other Dao-attainers, Miluo Palace once more had energy enough to sustain the descent of a Palace Master-level existence and several Dao-attainers! Hao Tiandi could not help breathing easier as he said: "This course is indeed steadier than I had thought.
Then swiftly invite Palace Master Zengcheng and those fellow Daoists to set out together and leave the Ancestral Court! " A vague unease gnawed at him, and he did not wish to linger in the Ancestral Court.
He knew Shen Mu all too well and knew how terrible he was. If he were trapped in the Ancestral Court by Shen Mu, his death would be wretched beyond measure! Palace Master Hehuan said: "Fellow Daoist Hao, this time they will escort me out of the Ancestral Court, while you have another task.
" Hao Tiandi was startled and somewhat unwilling. Palace Master Hehuan carefully drew over an invisible string, sent it flying up into his Daluo Heaven, and tied it to his forming Dao Tree, saying: "This string is the Fourth Young Master's bowstring.
Fellow Daoist Hao should find it no stranger, and you know how formidable this string is.
I give this string to you.
Take hold of it, go to the World Tree, drag it across the World Tree, and tie it to the northernmost mountain peak.
" Cold sweat broke out on Hao Tiandi's brow, and at once he felt a thread joined to the past, fastened to his Dao Tree.
His voice hoarse, Hao Tiandi said: "If Old Man Wuya discovers me, will I not die without even a burial place? " "Rest assured, Old Man Wuya's wounds are grave, no better than Taiyi's. " Palace Master Hehuan said coolly: "I have seen the Third and Fourth Young Masters. Though they too are wounded, their wounds are far lighter.
Should Old Man Wuya find you, the Fourth Young Master can well preserve your life!
" Hao Tiandi would have spoken again, but Palace Master Hehuan reminded him, as if in passing: "Fellow Daoist Hao, you are already tied to the bowstring, and the power of this string you know better than any.
" A chill ran through Hao Tiandi's heart and he dared say no more, saying: "I shall go.
" Palace Master Hehuan's spirits lifted, a sharp light flashing in her eyes as she said: "Then we shall divide our forces. We shall first rush out of Jade Capital and draw away Shen Ye and the others, and Fellow Daoist Hao will then make for the World Tree!
" Palace Master Zengcheng arrived with several Dao-attainers of Miluo Palace, and Palace Masters Hehuan and Phoenix at once soared skyward, rushing out of Jade Capital City straight for the heavens beyond. Palace Master Zengcheng stood rooted in the city, unmoving, when suddenly the Zengcheng Palace came flying, shrinking smaller and smaller until it fell into his hand.
Light blazed from this Palace Master's eyes as he bore the Zengcheng Palace aloft and gazed upward.
Whoosh! A golden ship tore through the sky, speeding straight for the two Palace Masters Hehuan and Phoenix, and in that instant Palace Master Zengcheng urged his palace onward.
