948 The Affectionate and Loving Sisters (1/2)
Luo Wushuang's face was pale. He felt like he had heard things he shouldn't be hearing.
All along, his eyes were cold, his expression icy. He seldom smiled and looked as though he carried a deep and bitter feud. However, the details shared in Yun Chuxiu and Lian Huahun's conversation were indeed shocking. He couldn't help but be appalled.
'There are two Celestial Venerables behind these two ladies? Who are Hao and Qi? Could Hao be Celestial Venerable Hao? Also, that lady actually referred to Celestial Venerable Yu as a pretty boy…'
Luo Wushuang acted decisively, hiding among the shadows of the structures below. He beckoned Qin Mu, signaling that he should hide quickly as well, before being discovered by the two ladies.
Qin Mu was also confused by what he heard. Luo Wushuang hurriedly rushed out to drag him into the shadows. He lowered his voice and said, ”Do you want to die? If we are discovered hearing all of these secrets, we're dead for sure! I heard there used to be an ancient god in the celestial heavens who was killed from behind as he charged onto the battlefield because he knew too many secrets!”
He and Qin Mu arrived among the shadows, feeling extremely shocked and terrified.
During the first year of the Dragon Han Era, he knew that Celestial Empress backed Celestial Venerable Yu.
Celestial Empress was enraged when she discovered her sister, Mistress Yuanmu, had an affair with the ancient Celestial Emperor and gave birth to Celestial Venerable Hao. Celestial Venerable Hao was abnormally clever. He opened the Five Elements Divine Treasure and hence became a Celestial Venerable. Her son, however, didn't have such glory.
For the sake of her position, she supported Celestial Venerable Yu and suppressed Celestial Venerable Hao.
He felt that Lian Huahun should be the one saying that Yun Chuxiu had reared the pretty boy Celestial Venerable Yu, but instead, it was the opposite. This was something he didn't expect!
All along, he thought that Yun Chuxiu was Celestial Empress, but he now realized it was the other way around!
Yun Chuxiu was Mistress Yuanmu, while Lian Huahun was Celestial Empress!
Qin Mu was flirting with the mother of Celestial Venerable Hao!
'That day at the Jade Pool, I fought with Yun Chuxiu and forced her to execute her ultimate skill. Since she was impersonating Celestial Empress, that means the ultimate skill she executed wasn't real.'
Cold sweat was rolling down Qin Mu's forehead. This was a trap, a gigantic trap!
Whoever believed that was her ultimate skill would die a terrible death.
'As to why she immediately helped me upon seeing Mistress Yuanmu's corpse in the crystal coffin, it wasn't because she was worried that Mistress Yuanmu might return back to life but rather that her identity would be revealed!'
Qin Mu was drenched in sweat. At that point in time, if he had tried to summon the soul of Mistress Yuanmu, he would have ended up summoning the soul of Yun Chuxiu, exposing her on the spot!
Also, it would then be uncovered that Mistress Yuanmu was still alive.
'This little maiden…' Qin Mu gritted his teeth.
The two traveled through the shadows quietly. The structures of the masters of creation's city were extremely huge, which aided them in not being discovered by the two ladies fighting above.
The above battle between Yun Chuxiu and Lian Huahun was terrifying. One by one, towering structures were destroyed by their divine arts, as small hills and giant rocks of all sorts fell from the sky. The sight made Qin Mu and Luo Wushuang's scalps go numb. If these structure fragments smashed into Celestial Venerable Huo's imprint or that drop of god blood, the entire city, including them, would be wiped out!
Bizarrely, before they could land, these structure fragments disintegrated and disappeared into midair, turning into a strange consciousness that rose up into the sky.
Those structures then regenerated after being destroyed, as though they were being rebuilt by an invisible divine power.
This was the wonder of the masters of creation's city!
Although those structure fragments were unable to land on the city, the aftermath of the two ladies' divine arts was able to ripple through. The two may be of the Divine Bridge Realm, but Qin Mu was very familiar with their real abilities.
On the ship, Lian Huahun had attacked him before, breaking his four arms. And when he fought Yun Chuxiu, both suffered heavy injuries.
Their abilities weren't inferior to true gods, and they were even stronger.
Even so, they didn't display their true ultimate skills. They were trying to force each other to execute their actual techniques, so as to reveal which Celestial Venerable they were.
Whoever's identity was revealed would die first!
After all, Celestial Empress and Mistress Yuanmu were ancient gods. They were as infamous as the ancient Celestial Emperor in the Heaven Alliance and were bound to be killed by the other Celestial Venerables.
The early goal of the Heaven Alliance, when it was first established, was to give people the right to survive. However, during the middle of the Dragon Han Era, after Celestial Venerable Yun recruited Celestial Venerable Hao and the rest, the goal of the alliance shifted to killing the ancient gods in order to wrest back the right to rule.
Hence, ancient gods that had infiltrated the Heaven Alliance absolutely couldn't afford to reveal their identities.
Qin Mu and Luo Wushuang traversed through this empty city at great speed. They were feeling a little fearful. The divine arts of Yun Chuxiu and Lian Huahun were too powerful. Who knew when the aftermath of their divine arts would trigger Celestial Venerable Huo's imprint or that drop of god blood.
This was akin to having a knife placed at their necks, not knowing when they would die.
Similarly, they couldn't afford to reveal their identities. If the two ladies discovered them, they would be killed.
These two ladies would absolutely not allow anyone to know their secrets!
Even Qin Mu would have to die. Although he was still useful to them, no amount of usefulness could match up to the importance of one's life.
Now, Qin Mu finally understood that the more one knew, the faster one died.
”Ma ha…”
The head of a divine dragon suddenly appeared in front of them. It broke into a smile, opening its mouth to lick the stunned Qin Mu with its bright red tongue, excitedly saying, ”Ma ha! Ma ha!”
Qin Mu's face turned ashen, while Luo Wushuang's limbs went cold.
This divine dragon was produced when Qin Mu was creating things at the top of the mountain. He planned to use it for transport. However, as his abilities were insufficient, the divine dragon that he visualized was unable to fly. Hence, it was abandoned by him.
He didn't expect the divine dragon to follow their scent all the way here!
Above, the sound of divine arts clashing suddenly stopped, and so did the tremors. The city was once again quiet.
The foreheads of Qin Mu and Luo Wushuang were covered with cold sweat. Qin Mu made a hush sign to the divine dragon. However, it was too stupid to understand its meaning.
The two and the dragon tiptoed forward, trying to secretly walk out of this life-threatening city.
”Oh, it's Celestial Venerable Mu and Divine Knife Luo.”
