858 Founding Elders of the Heaven Alliance (1/2)
Qin Mu lured Dragon King Tian's gigantic head into the other ruins. There, skeletons were lying everywhere, and the cliffs and ground dripped with blood—it was filled with an ominous aura.
As they ventured deeper in, there were more and more white figures emerging from the surroundings.
Initially, only one or two white figures appeared, but after that, more and more emerged—some appearing suddenly on the mountain peaks, some appearing suddenly on land—they looked at the passing group with a dazed expression, yet didn't do anything else.
Qin Mu looked at them, yet he couldn't see their faces.
”Young Master, there's a white-clothed person riding on your neck,” Yan'er whispered.
Qin Mu quickly turned his head, yet he couldn't see anything. He couldn't help but feel his hairs stand on their ends.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
He hurriedly took out a mirror, and, looking at his reflection, he saw that there was really a white figure riding on his neck. An unobservable face was sticking out from behind his neck, looking like it was checking the mirror out.
Qin Mu felt goosebumps and looked at the dragon qilin. There were a few white figures lying on him as well, and they were indistinct in appearance.
He looked to Yan'er, and on her back too was a white figure, it was making a breathing action to the back of her head.
Qin Mu turned to Dragon King Tian's big head, there were even more white figures lying on it.
”This place is unsuitable to stay in for long!”
Qin Mu decisively opened the Gate of Heaven Influence, and the dragon qilin carried them and leaped into it, escaping out of that ruins and into Youdu.
The instant they stepped into Youdu, Qin Mu faintly heard indistinct yet piercing screams coming from behind them. He quickly turned around to look, only to see numerous white figures reaching their hands into Youdu from outside the Gate of Heaven Influence.
Qin Mu closed the Gate of Heaven Influence. Multiple broken limbs fell from where the Gate of Heaven Influence had disappeared, and they dropped into the dark.
”The ruins of the Primordial Realm are truly peculiar...”
Qin Mu recovered from his shock, while the dragon qilin and Yan'er danced about towards the darkness in Youdu. Qin Mu reversed the divine treasures, transforming them into the divine treasures of the devil path, then he executed the divine art of Youdu to drag them back.
Qin Mu laughed. ”You can't use your skills here, I will still have to bring you along. Let's not hurry to leave this place, we'll wait for someone to pick us up and take a free boat ride out of here.”
Yan'er was puzzled, she looked around and asked curiously, ”Where is this free boat ride?”
Qin Mu was sure of himself, smiling. ”It'll arrive very soon!”
After a period of waiting, his expression darkened, and he said resentfully, ”Is Celestial Venerable You slacking off today? How is he still not appearing? Usually, right after I open the Gate of Heaven Influence, his small boat will come to fetch me...”
”Usually Cult Master stands on my head, can I stand on Cult Master's head this time?” The dragon qilin was surprised and delighted.
Qin Mu peeled off the willow leaf on the heart of his brows, his consciousness traveling to the Qin word land and transforming into an image of himself upon landing there. Qin Mu questioned, ”Earth Count, why didn't Celestial Venerable You come and fetch me today?”
Lava Earth Count sensed Qin Mu's true body and replied, ”A heaven was destroyed, and there were too many deaths. Celestial Venerable You headed there to guide the souls of the dead.”
”I see. Could Earth Count send an expert to send me to Li River Academy?” Qin Mu asked.
Lava Earth Count looked straight at him, Qin Mu's gaze was full of sincerity. Without changing his expression, he continued, ”From Youdu, I don't know the way to Li River Academy.”
Earth Count was silent for a while before replying, ”I will escort you there personally, how about that?”
Qin Mu was elated, he replied immediately, ”How can this do?”
He retrieved his consciousness, feeling very pleased with himself. He turned to the dragon qilin and Yan'er, informing them in a humble tone, ”Earth Count said he will personally escort us to Li River Academy.”
The dragon qilin was a little disappointed. At that exact moment, a violent gust of wind blew at them suddenly from the depths of Youdu, sweeping up Qin Mu, the dragon qilin, and Yan'er. They moved as swift as wind and lightning, tossing and turning, not knowing how far they had already flown.
The three of them were giddy and felt thrown into disorder. After the gust of wind was gone, the dragon qilin face-planted into a cliff—he was wedged in a cliff just outside of Li River Academy. Yan'er had transformed into a green bird and was lying with her belly to the sky at the top of the tree on the cliff. Meanwhile, Qin Mu had fallen headfirst into the Li River.
After a short period, the three of them tidied themselves up. Qin Mu's expression was dark, and he said threateningly, ”Today's events stay amongst the three of us, whoever dares to spread it will be murdered by me! Understand?”
The dragon qilin and green sparrow nodded their heads hastily.
Qin Mu stared at the dragon qilin and said with a benign expression, ”Fatty Dragon, do you know how Great Sun Sovereign died?”
The dragon qilin quickly replied, ”Cult Master, I'm very tight-lipped. Look, I have never leaked out any of Patriarch's embarrassing incidents!”
Two months later, Qin Mu picked Celestial Venerable Yu up. At the source of the Surging River, one could see that today's Surging River was no longer flowing out of the broken cliff of the Great Ruins, but it was flowing through the various worlds.
That stream of the celestial river flowed out of the Heavens that hung from beyond the sky, rushing downwards and sparkling with jade-like refractions. It was truly spectacular.
Qin Mu waited at the source of the Surging River for half a day, sitting atop the river's surface, yet the fog in the river didn't appear at all.
'This should be where Celestial Venerable Ling intercepted the celestial river and executed her divine art. She replaced the substance within the celestial river with herself and demonstrated her breathtaking divine art.'
