700 Mingdu Heavenly King and Son of Heaven Yin (2/2)
”Truly remarkable abilities...”
In the depths of the red light was a circular platform that had a radius of three thousand yards. On the circular platform was a palace, and the small boat sailed to the circular platform to stop by the side.
Qin Mu and the rest got off the boat, and Tian Shu nearly slumped to the ground. At that moment, they heard a gentle voice speaking with a laugh. ”Since Earth Count has visitors, I won't stay and disturb you anymore. I shall come to visit another day. No need to send me off.”
Qin Mu heard the voice, and he was slightly stunned. He felt that it sounded familiar.
Elder Messenger of Death moored the boat and said, ”When the guest is out, we can enter.”
After a moment, Qin Mu saw a slender man walking out of the palace, and that man looked very handsome. He had a bearing that couldn't be described, and people would find it refreshing to look at him. They couldn't help having a favorable impression of him.
Qin Mu could imagine if Apothecary's face was still around, he must have been as handsome as well.
Tian Shu's expression changed slightly, and he snorted.
That handsome man walked over and greeted the Elder Messenger of Death. ”Official Sovereign.”
Elder Messenger of Death returned his greeting.
That handsome man saw Tian Shu and was slightly stunned. He said with a smile, ”So it's Heavenly King, you are still alive.”
Tian Shu changed from his earlier helplessness and stood straight. His horns gave off a cold divine light, and he said, ”Thanks to your blessing, I'm not dead yet!”
That handsome man looked around with a smile. ”It's not bad that you can escape out after Yan Shaoqing trapped you in the Imperial Gate Divine Knife, however, you still chopped off Earth Count's horn so it's hard to say if you can remain alive. That's right, I knew you like wine; therefore, I've told Yan Shaoqing to bring some fine wine to you, how is the taste?”
Tian Shu's mountain goat beard floated up, and he couldn't contain his anger.
The handsome man gave a slight smile. ”This is Youdu, don't be reckless. That's right, you have already been reckless once. Jiuyi, why are you here too?”
Qi Jiuyi's expression changed slightly, and he walked out from the back of the dragon qilin. He greeted, ”Jiuyi pays my respect to master!”
The handsome man examined him and frowned. ”You only have your corporeal body left, where is your corporeal body?”
Qi Jiuyi revealed a look of shame and said, ”I got sucked into Imperial Gate Divine Knife, so my corporeal body is still in the Great Ruins.”
Qin Mu's heart jumped, and he instantly knew who the handsome man was.
'Mingdu Black Deity, and also Son of Heaven Yin!'
His aura wavered, but he suppressed it immediately and remained calm. He thought to himself, 'Why has Son of Heaven Yin come to find Earth Count? Is it because of the incident with Goddess of Heavenly Yin? I stole Earth Count's power to revive Goddess of Heavenly Yin, and this fact definitely wouldn't escape his eyes.'
Son of Heaven Yin seemed to sense his aura wavering and looked at him before praising. ”A stable primordial spirit, truly a good youth. Heavenly King, is this your disciple?”
Tian Shu chuckled. ”None of your business.”
Son of Heaven Yin looked at Qin Mu and revealed a warm smile. ”There's no future in following this rebel, if there's a chance, you can find me in Mingdu. I admire young people like you.”
Qin Mu had fear and trepidation as he looked at Tian Shu before looking at Son of Heaven Yin. He seemed to be helpless.
Son of Heaven Yin took a step to leave. ”Jiuyi, since Earth Count wants to meet you guys, I shan't take you away by force. After you have settled the things here, go to the world of the living and find your corporeal body, then leave there immediately. Your senior brothers have started to descend the disaster. My visit this time is to discuss with Earth Count on how to deal with the billions of souls that will suddenly die in the lower bound.”
”Understood.” Qi Jiuyi bowed and only raised his head after he disappeared.
Qin Mu narrowed his eyes. Son of Heaven Yin's qi field was ample, and his imposing manner had always been pressing down on Tian Shu steadily. He was truly a powerful person.
Qi Jiuyi took a glance at him and said, ”My master didn't recognize you.”
”Much thanks.” Qin Mu bowed.
Qi Jiuyi opened his mouth and suddenly sighed. ”We are originally enemies, yet I've become sworn brothers with the dragon qilin when I was muddle-headed, so it wasn't good for me to betray you. How did it become like this?”
He had a blank look in his gaze.
Tian Shu was curious. ”Qin Mu, what had you done? Why can't your identity be revealed to Black Deity?”
Qin Mu sighed and said, ”It's hard to explain with a few words.”
Tian Shu's eyes became even bigger, and he was even more curious.
Elder Messenger of Death came forward and said indifferently, ”Go in, don't let Earth Count wait too long.”
Tian Shu immediately slumped down again like he was a mountain goat monster that was about to die. He laid down on the floor and wasn't willing to move. Qin Mu grabbed onto his mountain goat horn and dragged him all the way into the main hall.
Earth Count was right in front of them, though it was likely his clone. He was covered in flames and had a tiger's head, bull's horns, and a human's body, and he was flipping through a thick stack of books.
”Official Sovereign, have you added the incident where he stole my powers?” Earth Count asked without even raising his head.
