Chapter 1809 — Unrivaled Upon the Sea of Ruins
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
The Shen Mu of this moment already bore the bearing of the Seventh Young Master, and she had no choice but to act with caution.
"I still have the divine ability of the Third Young Master, Lingxiao; it can grievously wound the Seventh Young Master and break open his uncanny domain!" said Palace Master Hehuan in a heavy voice.
Palace Master Phoenix was reassured.
Suddenly, three Chaos Stones fell from one of the wheel-shaped skies, dropping past them into the Sea of Chaos.
The two Palace Masters' eyes fell upon those three stones; they were puzzled, but gave it no further thought.
But at that moment, behind Shen Mu, countless white hairs streamed and flew, each one like a sword, attacking from behind him!
Each white hair transformed in a thousand ways, evolving every kind of Ruins divine ability, seeking to devour Shen Mu.
Suddenly the Chaos Wheel spun, blocking strand after strand of white hair, so that they could never come within a hair's breadth of Shen Mu!
"Old Seven, your skills have grown!"
Beneath the Sea of Chaos, lotus leaves drifted one after another, and suddenly a vast face surfaced, white hair streaming around it, utterly uncanny.
Palace Master Hehuan and the others looked at that face through one Chaos Wheel after another, and saw that the woman was bound by enormous red chains, suppressed within the sea, unable to free herself.
"The Second Young Master, Wuji!"
Hehuan, Phoenix and the rest were startled, and hastened to pay their respects: "Hehuan, Phoenix and Zengcheng greet the Second Young Master!"
The white hair that had just attacked Shen Mu was none other than the white hair of the Second Young Master, suppressed beneath the Sea of Chaos.
For a grave transgression, she had been suppressed by the master of Miluo Palace within the Sea of Chaos; the red cord knot had become five chains, imprisoning her at the bottom of the sea.
Seeing Shen Mu arrive, she had been delighted at the prospect of prey and struck at him with deadly intent. But suppressed as she was by the master of Miluo Palace, the slightest movement brought the red cord knot down upon her, and she could not shake Shen Mu in the least.
The face of the Second Young Master, Wuji, drifted beneath the surface of the sea, now east, now west, now forward, now back, surveying them all, and suddenly she laughed with a clucking sound: "Three Palace Masters of Miluo Palace, all at once. Old Seven, can you handle them?"
She could not help laughing: "To choose this place to ambush them — you think far too little of me. If I joined hands with these Palace Masters, do you think you would stand a chance?"
"Second Sister, so long as you are not free, you cannot touch me."
Shen Mu turned. Under the sway of the six Chaos Wheels the Sea of Chaos howled and churned, waves towering to the sky, shaking the treasure halls of the two Palace Masters and Huang Tang's smaller World Tree, making everyone stagger. He smiled and said: "Even if you joined hands with them, you could not touch me in the least. I have no lack of ways to make you docile!"
The Second Young Master, Wuji, flew into a rage and sneered: "Old Seven, your nerve grows greater and greater..."
Shen Mu flicked his fingers again and again, and suddenly the power of the five red cords suppressing the Second Young Master erupted; Wuji gave a stifled grunt and was driven down to the bottom of the Sea of Chaos.
"As for making threats, Second Sister, you are not yet qualified."
Shen Mu turned around and said mildly: "Unless our teacher unties your red cord knot, you would do better to be a little more obedient before your little brother. All of you!"
His voice suddenly exploded above the Sea of Chaos, shaking the sea's surface into rolling waves.
