470 True Heaven Old Mother (1/2)
The goddess who escaped was none other than the goddess whose wine had been snatched by Qin Mu and whom he had sent flying with a kick. She ran to the corner of the wall, past a screen, and out walked a woman who looked completely different from before.
She wore a circular silver accessory on her head and a short black gown while black, high-heeled, and pointy shoes adorned her feet. Her dressing was like that of an ordinary woman of West Earth.
'So close. My true form was almost kicked out by that abandoned person! However, I had still given the game away. All the gods and devils could only say simple words like kill or evil creature while I said a complete sentence.'
The woman quickly rushed out of the main hall of True Heaven Palace. Sunlight shone on her pretty face, and she lowered her head while thinking to herself, 'The two of them might not have realized it yet, but if they think back, they will definitely discover it! I need to leave immediately, or should I get the four spirit beads first…'
Her footsteps were light and fast. In front of her was Qin Mu and Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor, so she slowed down. She acted normal and smiled at them as if she was an ordinary female disciple of True Heaven Palace.
”Crap!” Suddenly, Qin Mu's face changed slightly, and his fist smacked onto his palm as he cried out, ”I know where True Heaven Old Mother is hiding!”
Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor was also extremely clever and immediately thought of the crux of the problem. ”Right, in that picture which was missing a corner! That goddess that was carrying the wine!”
He turned around and sprinted back to the main hall. He quickly said, ”We killed the celestial emperor in the painting, but even he didn't say a full sentence. Only that goddess alone had done that!” He, however, soon walked out of the hall while shaking his head. ”The goddess that carried the wine is no longer in the painting.”
Qin Mu copied the tone of the goddess when he said his next words. ”Where is this brat from? This is the sacred wine for the high gods, so how can you touch it? This sentence is too complicated for the people in the painting. Its painter hadn't reached such skill yet, so the only goddess who could talk would be True Heaven Old Mother! How sinister of her, to actually hide in the painting. I've underestimated her.”
A woman came to the two people's side and greeted Qin Mu, ”Cult Master Qin.”
Qin Mu's gaze flickered, but he smiled at her. ”Why isn't sister greeting Imperial Preceptor?”
”Imperial Preceptor? I've never seen him before. Is he that strong practitioner that killed Ba Gou?”
The girl's expression filled with excitement, and she hurriedly greeted Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor. She looked deeply into his eyes with tender feeling. Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor shook his head. ”It's not her. After I came to West Earth, I didn't really show myself so most of the women of West Earth don't recognize me. However, I killed True Heaven Old Mother's fake body, so she would recognize me.”
Qin Mu nodded and said to that woman, ”Have you seed anyone walking out from that hall?”
The woman shook her head. ”I was going with Chief to snatch Vermillion Bird Bead and passed by here, but I didn't see anyone.”
Qin Mu mumbled to himself as he waved her off. The woman took a look at Imperial Preceptor, then lowered her head to walk by them. But Qin Mu suddenly pulled on her sleeves, and True Heaven Old Mother's scalp crawled. She almost couldn't stop herself from attacking.
Qin Mu smiled at her. ”How do I address this sister? Which family are you from? Who is your chief?”
True Heaven Old Mother's face changed, and she knelt onto the floor while shivering. She kowtowed and said, ”I'm a disciple of True Heaven Palace, Cult Master, please don't kill me! If I get recognized, my life will be lost! Cult Master, please pardon me!”
Qin Mu let out a sigh of relief and said to Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor. ”I really thought she was True Heaven Old Mother. She's a god after all, so how would she kneel and beg a mortal? She's indeed a disciple of True Heaven Palace trying to escape with her life.”
Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor waved his hand and said, ”You shall deal with her.”
Qin Mu helped True Heaven Old Mother up and said with a pleasant expression, ”Sister, don't be scared, there's no need to listen to others. They call me Heavenly Devil Cult Master, but that's just words. I'm actually lacking in confidence so I called myself Heavenly Devil Cult Master to scare people since I came here alone, but I'm actually Heavenly Saint Cult Master. Our cult is the most kind and will never hurt people. I'm also a very kind person. Look, Imperial Preceptor is even one of the four great heavenly kings of my Heavenly Saint Cult. That's right, what's your name?”
True Heaven Old Master was somewhat in disbelief. ”My name is Tian Siyu. You really won't hand me over?”
Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor seemed to have remembered something. ”I'm going to announce the decree so I have no time to stay here.”
Qin Mu followed Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor while holding True Heaven Old Mother's hand. ”I want to find someone, a youth called Pangong Tso and Grandmaster. He is the head of Rolan's Golden Palace and had come to your True Heaven Palace once. Has Sister Siyu seen him before?”
True Heaven Old Mother was pulled along by him because whenever she looked at Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor, she didn't dare to struggle. ”I've seen him before. I only know that he's called Grandmaster and is a good friend of Elder Yu Qingchan. However, he's no longer in the palace. When he saw Cult Master Qin attacking True Heaven Palace, he ran.”
”As expected of Grandmaster.” Qin Mu sighed, then smiled once more. ”Sister Siyu, follow beside me so you don't get bullied. That's right, the tracking of your West Earth is unrivaled in the world. Sister Siyu's divine arts should be extraordinary so you must have a method to track Pangong Tso, right? I'll protect you from harm and you will help me track Pangong Tso, how does that sound?”
True Heaven Old Mother was delighted. ”Alright! Deal?”
Qin Mu laughed and said, ”Why would I lie to you? Deal! Imperial Preceptor, read the imperial decree and come with me to chase after Pangong Tso.”
”Alright. I would also like to know who is the god behind Grandmaster and where is he hiding,” Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor said indifferently.
The expression of True Heaven Old Mother changed slightly. She had thought that Qin Mu would go with just her to pursue Pangong Tso. When the two of them were alone, it would be easy for her to kill this noble among the abandoned people. But the brat had actually invited Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor!
With him around, True Heaven Old Mother was in danger. Just a slight giveaway and she would be killed by the heartless fellow!
With them being next to each other, if Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor attacked, she would definitely be unable to defend herself!
