864 Sleazy Wen (1/2)

The dragon qilin really wanted to be as calm and composed as Qin Mu—to adjust and turn his body around in a carefree manner, smacking his own bottom with his tail, and leisurely stroll out of this place. However, the dragon qilin's four legs were quivering, and his tail was starting to be not of his own.

Normally he could whip his tail up with ease, but now his dragon tail was a little numb, and only half of it could be raised up—the other half of it drooped on the ground.

The dragon qilin took three months to carry Qin Mu over, making the long journey by foot from River Tomb to this place. He had only just found his footing, and now everything was already over.

Only, was it really possible for them to return home just like this?

The dragon qilin's legs were still weak, and there was a silence permeating the surroundings—it was incredibly stifling. The gods and devils that surrounded the palace of Mahakala were high and mighty, their corporeal bodies and faces radiating divine rays in the darkness. Only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard, and no one spoke up.

The dragon qilin finally turned himself around, doing his best to tell himself to be stable and not to take an infirm step and end up rolling down the mountain from the palace of Mahakala. Despite this, he was unsure if he could even prevent that from happening.

On the two sides of the stone pathway were the huge corporeal bodies of the gods and devils. They looked as though they were carved from meteorites, their forms and bodies were grotesque, and their faces were even more sinister looking. They stared at Qin Mu and the dragon qilin with fierce expressions.

The dragon qilin lifted his feet and was about to walk down the stone steps.

'Or possibly roll down...' he thought to himself.

At this moment, smoke spewed out of the nostrils of a devil god that was standing on the dragon qilin's left side. The devil god's huge palm reached towards the devil god weapon that was at his waist.

The other gods and devils all made their own moves as well—the tremoring sound of divine weapons and devil god weapons could be heard.

The dragon qilin finally composed himself, the muscles all over his body gradually tightening as he prepared to rush out of this place with explosive might whenever the time came.

Just previously, the dragon qilin was feeling a little anxious, yet now that he had to fight for his life, he no longer had any other thoughts—if they wanted to escape, he would have to put his whole heart into escaping.

On this matter, he was adept.

At this very moment, a voice emerged from the palace of Mahakala. ”Hold on.”

Upon hearing this, the gods and devils of the northern heavens successively lowered their palms.

Qin Mu pat the dragon qilin on the forehead. Instantly, the dragon qilin understood his intentions, and he stopped in his tracks, turning around.

Qin Mu looked straight at the ancestor of the devil path who sat within the palace.

In the palace, Mahakala stood up and said, ”Overlord Body of Eternal Peace truly lives up to his reputation. The northern heavens have suffered an overwhelming defeat. You have won fair and square.”

Qin Mu revealed a smile. ”The gods of the northern heavens have laid down the Pact of Little Earth Count with Heavenly Teacher Woodcutter and Heavenly Teacher Zi Xi. If they went back on their word and tried to kill me, they would have already become corpses at this moment.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

The gods and devils that surrounded the palace of Mahakala started to yell angrily one after the other, asking him to shut up.

Mahakala's expression darkened, and he spoke coldly, ”You're the ones who should shut up!”

His voice forced the angry yelling and scolding sounds of these gods and devils down directly. They weren't able to say anything to that.

Mahakala slowly moved forward, the black sun behind him followed along, swallowing up all the lights within the palace.

Very soon, he was at the front of the palace.

Qin Mu looked at this ancestor of the devil path carefully. He had heard stories regarding Mahakala's origins.

It was rumored that Mahakala was the first devil god born of Youdu. Youdu was the place where the dead went after death, so when death existed in this world, Youdu was also born. Earth Count carried the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and was thus born. He was in charge of death, punishing evil and rewarding the good.

However, even Earth Count had to follow the law of Youdu, and he couldn't do things purely based on his own judgment.

As more and more souls came to be within Youdu, negative emotions like the resentful thoughts and greedy thoughts of the dead began to give rise to the horrifying demonic nature of Youdu. There were also incomplete broken souls and spirits that wandered about the dark within Youdu, and thus the demonic nature of Youdu grew exponentially day by day.

Youdu monsters were born from such fate. These monsters didn't have much consciousness and were formed from the filthiest and most vile thoughts that had merged with the devil qi of Youdu.

These monsters cannibalized each other, eventually becoming devil gods.

Mahakala was a devil god that was born of this. He was the first devil god of Youdu, and like the Son of Youdu, he too had something extraordinarily special.

He was born before Dragon Han, with the Dragon Han Celestial Heavens having yet been built then. It was still an extremely ancient and uncivilized era.

After the appearance of Mahakala, then there was the devil race.

There were also some who said that in its true sense, the devil race was actually the daughter of Earth Count. The devil race that was known in the world was merely a fake devil race. However, there weren't many who held this perspective.

The devil race venerated him as the ancestor of the devil path, the ancestor of the thousands of devils, the ruler of the devil race. In actuality, the real first ancestor of the devil path and of the devil race should be Earth Count. However, Earth Count had few descendants, and thus the devil race was, in fact, created by Mahakala and the successive generations of devil gods who were later born of Youdu. There wasn't much relation with Earth Count.

Mahakala was the first devil god born of Youdu, so it was only natural for him to be revered by the devil race to such an extent.

Qin Mu noticed that Mahakala actually shared some similar physical attributes to Earth Count—he too had two curved and long bull horns. However, because he didn't turn around, Qin Mu couldn't tell if he too had a bull's tail like Earth Count.

”You're all audacious.”

Mahakala looked around, feeling a bit pained. ”Laying down the Pact of Little Earth Count and still intending to not honor it, you're truly audacious. Do you all not know that Wen Tiange is one of the four great heavenly teachers of Founding Emperor and has the nickname Sleazy Wen? If he proposes a gamble, you directly reject it so that you won't lose. If you accept it, you'll definitely lose. You were all scheming against Eternal Peace, thinking that it was easily obtainable, but he was also scheming against the northern heavens! What should I do about it?”

Around the palace of Mahakala was nothing but absolute silence.

Mahakala sighed. ”The three hundred and sixteen heavens of the north were painstakingly conquered by the soldiers under me. Yet, just because you were greedy for a momentary gain, we will have to give up the northern heavens to another. Sleazy Wen truly has great strategies!”

”Can we break the pact?” a devil god asked in a quavering voice.
