Chapter 265: The Fourth Heavenly King

Translator: NinetalesEditor: DarkGem

The emperor and Imperial Preceptor didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This devil cult master was really daring and had no reserve being the devil cult master of Heavenly Devil Cult. He actually wanted to pull the emperor and Imperial Preceptor into his Heavenly Devil Cult!

”If your injuries aren't healed, you won't be able to seize back the throne, and learning handicraft from our Heavenly Saint Cult, you could at least feed your family,” Qin Mu persuaded. ”Furthermore, if you enter the cult now, I can give you guys very high positions like the heavenly king or elder, while if you want to join after you are completely crippled and unsavable, I can at most make you incense masters and only a vice at that. Madam, help me persuade them.”

Imperial Preceptor's wife smiled but didn't say anything.

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor said indifferently, ”If I join, I want to be the cult master.”

Emperor Yanfeng nodded. ”Me too.”

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor said, ”If you're the cult master, I'll assist you.”

Qin Mu's eyes lit up. ”Emperor wants to be the cult master?”

Emperor Yanfeng was flabbergasted. He totally didn't expect Qin Mu to actually have the plan to give up the seat of Heavenly Devil Cult Master. If the emperor became the Heavenly Devil Cult Master, wouldn't Eternal Peace Empire be part of his Heavenly Devil Cult?

This was truly a hot potato that he couldn't pick up!

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor also got a headache and looked secretly toward Emperor Yanfeng, signaling him to not take.

Imperial Preceptor's wife laughed and said, ”Cult Master Qin, they aren't willing, but I am. I wonder what kind of position cult master could give me?”

Qin Mu's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed secretly at the cleverness of this woman. She had broken the silence to prevent Imperial Preceptor and the emperor from becoming awkward.

”If madam joins the cult, I can give you a sinecure.” Qin Mu smiled. ”Does madam know embroidery? How about the incense master of Embroidery Hall?”

”Alright.” The young married woman then smiled and pulled Imperial Preceptor to one side and said in a low voice, ”Husband, why do you have to reject Cult Master Qin? What are the odds of winning by going back to the capital city this time with His Majesty?”

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor was silent for a moment, then said, ”Everyone in the world supports the reform and seventy to eighty percent of the civil and military officials in the imperial court are the men of His Majesty and I. When we return to the capital city, we can definitely execute the rebels and seize back the throne.”

Imperial Preceptor's wife smiled. ”Do you really think so? Won't Great Thunderclap Monastery and Dao Sect stop you? If it's you, you might be able to defend yourself against Rulai and Dao Master, but will his His Majesty be able to defend himself against them?”

Qin Mu nodded lightly and smiled. ”There are Daoists and monks staying in the houses of all the kings, dukes, and ministers; they are all chanting dharma or reciting Daoist scriptures.”

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor was silent, and his wife pushed Qin Mu away to continue in a low voice, ”The other two big sacred grounds are watching your people and those that are closed to you are either under house arrest or locked in prison. Now, you can only borrow power from Cult Master Qin. And to borrow someone's power, you need to make them feel at ease.”

Qin Mu moved over again and was about to say something when Imperial Preceptor's wife pushed him away.

Imperial Preceptor pondered it for a bit, then walked over to Qin Mu. ”Heavenly Saint Cult lacks a heavenly king?”

Qin Mu nodded. ”The fourth heavenly king.”

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor then said, ”Let me be this fourth heavenly king; however, His Majesty can never have any connections with Heavenly Saint Cult. Your Majesty, I shall join his Heavenly Saint Cult.”

Emperor Yanfeng was stunned, but after quite a while, he said slowly, ”Sorry to put Imperial Preceptor at such an inconvenience.”

Qin Mu revealed a smile and said to Emperor Yanfeng, ”Your Majesty seems to have a misunderstanding regarding our Heavenly Saint Cult. We aren't a cult, and our philosophy is the everyday use of common people and what we carry out is the path of the saint. This reform of Your Majesty and Imperial Preceptor has similar ideals …”

Imperial Preceptor's wife smiled. ”Cult master, we should be on our way. There's no need to impart cult's teachings to His Majesty since it's impossible for him to join our Heavenly Saint Cult.”

Imperial Preceptor's wife went to sit on the back of the dragon qilin while Qin Mu, Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor, and the emperor walked below. The two people executed Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique that Qin Mu had taught them to recover some vital qi.

These two people were like ascetic monks. Their footsteps weren't fast and they walked with great effort, so they reached Venerate Prefecture only after close to three days.

Heavenly Devil Cult in Venerate Prefecture had already prepared the herbs, and Qin Mu could finally treat the injuries in Emperor Yanfeng's soul. Imperial Preceptor's external injuries were all healed while the remnants of the divine arts left behind by the god in his body were not something Qin Mu could guide out.

The remnants of the god's divine arts were extremely powerful. But if Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor could refine them, it would no longer be too troublesome for Qin Mu to cure him. The crucial point was that Imperial Preceptor couldn't mobilize his magic power. The remnants were hidden in his body and divine treasures, so he had to use his own magic power to suppress them. If he wasn't careful, he might just trigger the power of those divine arts.

'Neither the emperor not Imperial Preceptor can fight.' Qin Mu sighed ruefully to himself.

The two strongest practitioners of Eternal Peace Empire had both become sickly people that required his care and protection.

As for himself, he was continuously cultivating without a break. As long as he was walking, Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique was subconsciously executed and the five beams of star power from the stars would come pouring down.

While they were on their way, Qin Mu also trained his sword skills diligently, practicing the two forms of sword skills Village Chief had taught him again and again, trying to perfect them.

When Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor saw these two moves from Sword Picture, he gave a soft cry of astonishment and couldn't resist taking a few more looks. ”Cult Master, which elder taught you this?”
