Chapter 455: Formation Master’s Methods

Rumble, rumble.

The huge Bamboo City moved forward while Qin Mu and He Yiyi stood side by side on its tower. Even though he had seen the strange sight of the city moving by itself, Qin Mu still found it inconceivable.

Even though the divine arts of West Earth had not improved in ten thousand years, the ideology of all things having spirit and all things having soul was still extraordinary.

When he looked back and saw people walking to and fro through the city, he couldn't help clicking his tongue in wonder.

After Formation Master He Yiyi admitted defeat, she summoned the people of Bamboo City and about a hundred thousand people returned. The sight of a city bringing so many people across the mountains was unimaginable yet it was right in front of his eyes.

”Trying to overthrow Palace Master Yu of True Heaven Palace isn't going to be easy,” He Yiyi said. ”Besides my He Family, we also need the support of other influential families. In West Earth, Xiong and Yu Families were the two most influential families, and their abilities were also the strongest. But Xiong Family has already fallen and their position of True Heaven Palace Master was snatched by Yu Family.

”However, there's still Poison Master Mu Yingxue's Mu Family, Sword Master Luo Yinyu's Luo Family, Fang Family, Liu Family, Gong Family, Xi Family, Fu Family—a total of ten influential families. Other than that, there's also influential families like those who belong to Ge Ke, Mao Chi, Ka Xiang Ka whose abilities aren't weak as well.”

Qin Mu pondered over it before asking, ”Why did Xiong Family inherit the position of True Heaven Palace Master? Do other influential families also have this right?”

”Xiong Family could inherit the position of True Heaven Palace Master because the first generation True Heaven Palace Master's surname was Xion,” He Yiyi said. ”The successive palace masters because of that were usually Xiong. Even though there were situations where other surnames had become palace masters, Xiong Family would still return back to the position of the palace master not long after. It is said that…”

The girl looked at Xiong Qi'er who was beside Qin Mu. ”It is said that the ancestor of Xiong Family had the support of a god so they could always remain on the seat of the palace master. However, this time it's different. It is said that the god was unsatisfied with Nai Kui, so Yu Family was contacted, and that is why it was so easy for them to uproot Xiong Family.”

'God? Could it be the owner of that wooden god statue I met in the flaming desert?'

Qin Mu was still somewhat puzzled, so he asked, ”Since this god always supported Xiong Family, why did he suddenly change to Yu Family?”

”That will be because of Ba Gou,” He Yiyi answered. ”Ba Gou's origin is not ordinary, and rumors say that he is a strong practitioner who came down from the upper bound. It is believed that he brought Yu Family in contact with that god.”

”Ba Gou?”

Qin Mu blinked. Ba Gou was a term of respect like Nai Kui. The latter was the mother of the princess while Ba Gou was the father of the princess. However, according to his understanding, even though the princess of True Heaven Palace was Xiong Qi'er, her father had died in battle, so the Ba Gou He Yiyi mentioned could only be the husband of Yu Family's True Heaven Palace Master.

However, True Heaven Palace Master had not given birth to a daughter so it shouldn't be proper to address him as Ba Gou.

”This Ba Gou needed an extraordinary position to be able to contact that god,” He Yiyi said. ”He's extremely mysterious and rumors say that he came from the upper bound and is the guest of High Heavens. He had already been with True Heaven Palace Master and it is said that she's already pregnant with a child. Ba Gou let it spread that the child within her is definitely a girl who is the princess of True Heaven Palace!”

Giving birth to a girl would secure one the position of True Heaven Palace Master, which was a rule Qin Mu had never heard about before. However, West Earth honored women and their social customs were quite different from those of Eternal Peace.

Besides, as long as one cultivated divine eyes, it wasn't troublesome to see if the unborn child was male or female.

Since Ba Gou had confirmed that the child in True Heaven Palace Master's womb was a girl, he would not be wrong. True Heaven Palace Master would definitely give birth to a little princess and sit firmly on her seat.

”What's the surname of this Ba Gou?”

”Yu.”

Qin Mu was stunned. ”He's also Yu? What's his relationship with Yu Family?”

He Yiyi smiled, but it was an expression lacking warmth. ”All of us would also like to know what's Ba Gou's relationship with Yu Family. There are many rumors in West Earth. Some say Ba Gou is the ancestor of Yu Family, others that he is the son of High Heaven's Jade Sovereign and that Yu Family originate from there as well. There are many rumors, but the truth is elusive.”

Qin Mu looked at her with a weird expression.

”Some say that it was because Xiong Xiyu's talent was lacking and she wasn't a strong enough benevolent ruler that her position as palace master was snatched by Yu Family. Yet in my eyes, even though Palace Master Xiong really lacked talent, the true mastermind behind this is still this Ba Gou.”

Qin Mu nodded.

Xiong Qi'er was right beside him, but he had no choice but to admit that what He Yiyi said was right. No matter if it was ability or scheming, the girl's mother wasn't like what a master of a sacred ground should be.

She hadn't experienced a lot of scheming and bloody battles before ascending to the position of the palace master at a young age, so it was natural that she couldn't fight against Yu Family and Ba Gou.

Even though Qin Mu had also ascended to the position of Heavenly Devil Cult Master at a young age, the people who had taught him were the nine elders of Disabled Elderly Village. Ever since he was young, he had been taught all kinds of crafty plots and machinations, making him sinister and cunning. However, the nine elders still found him too honest.

Because of all that teaching, Qin Mu was able to sit firmly in the position of cult master, with everyone in the village accepting him wholeheartedly.

Bamboo City sprinted among the mountains and wilderness, heading toward the west. It didn't head straight for True Heaven Palace, though.

They were going to the ancestor ground of He Family, Sword River Valley, where their headquarters were located.
