948 The Affectionate and Loving Sisters (2/2)
Suddenly, a lady's laughter could be heard from the above palace in front of them. The two and the dragon raised their heads and saw Yun Chuxiu sitting on the palace's roof. Her palms were placed on the side of the roof as her calves dangled, swaying leisurely.
Her calves were attractive. They were fair and had beautiful curves.
Yun Chuxiu laughed. ”Celestial Venerable and Divine Knife are so secretive. Where are you heading?”
Qin Mu gave a cough. Before he could speak, Lian Huahun's voice came from behind. She asked coldly, ”How long have Celestial Venerable Mu and Divine Knife Luo been here?”
Yun Chuxiu giggled. ”Is that important?”
Qin Mu coughed and said, ”We just arrived and were about to meet Celestial Venerable Huo. He's also in the city…”
Yun Chuxiu and Lian Huahun's expressions changed drastically. Lian Huahun immediately flew up and surveyed her surroundings. Right at this moment, many rays of divine light flew over, landing in the city.
”Xue Yuqing, disciple of Celestial Venerable Zu, pays my respects to Celestial Venerable Mu!”
”Huai Yu, disciple of Celestial Venerable Lang, pays my respects to Celestial Venerable Mu!”
”Pan Chunjin, disciple of Celestial Venerable Hao, pays my respects to Celestial Venerable Mu!”
”Luo Fengqing, disciple of Green Deity of the Eastern Sky, pays my respects to Celestial Venerable Mu!”
…
Loud and clear sounds rang as the light rays landed, transforming into true gods one after another. They surrounded Qin Mu, standing on top of those ancient-looking majestic structures and looking down at him, revealing their excitement.
”Celestial Venerable Mu, we almost died at your hands. I bet you didn't expect to see us here alive.”
Xiu Youfang chuckled. ”After Celestial Venerable Mu is dead, we can return to the celestial heavens and announce to the people that Celestial Venerable Mu died in the Great Void while trying to save us. He will live up to the good name of a Celestial Venerable. However, that's only after he's dead.”
Huai Yu was warm and gentle and had a smile on his face. He leisurely said, ”Celestial Venerable took advantage of the absence of my master, Celestial Venerable Lang, and murdered the disciples of our Lang Xuan Divine Palace. At that time, I was away, or else my senior and junior brothers wouldn't have died such terrible deaths. Today is the day of Celestial Venerable's death, hence avenging my dead brothers. Celestial Venerable, do you have any last words?”
Pan Chunjin laughed. ”Whatever last words he may have, they're useless. In the Great Void, there's no Youdu or Mingdu. We are outside the jurisdiction of Heaven Duke, and Goddess of Heavenly Yin is unable to come here. Dying here means that your soul is indeed scattered, truly dead!”
Qin Mu looked at his surroundings. There were over 10 true gods that had arrived. He didn't care much about the disciples of Emperor's Throne individuals. However, the disciples of Celestial Venerables were by no means insignificant.
These more than 10 true gods were able to beat him to a pulp!
There was no need for them to hide the true intention of this journey anymore. They wanted to kill Qin Mu, then return to report on their mission.
Earlier, they clearly needed to ensure that they survived traversing the Great Void.
Qin Mu glanced at Luo Wushuang and whispered, ”Has Divine Knife Luo recovered from his injuries?”
Luo Wushuang hesitated a while. Obviously, Qin Mu's intention was to use him as an accomplice to get rid of these disciples of Celestial Venerables and Emperor's Throne individuals.
Now that he knew the secret of Celestial Empress and Mistress Yuanmu, he had no chance of staying alive unless he fought.
However, his injuries were too serious. His celestial palace had yet to recover. If he pulled out the core of the Primordial Tree and fought recklessly, his celestial palace was likely to crumble and be destroyed within an instant.
His divine knife was also destroyed. Facing these true gods, he was helpless.
Lian Huahun flew and landed on the roof of the palace in front of them. She said, ”It's Celestial Venerable Huo's imprint rather than Celestial Venerable Huo that's in the city. He ran into terrifying enemies here. As he fought them, his Great Dao was imprinted here.”
Yun Chuxiu was astonished that there was someone in the Great Void who was able to match up to an existence like Celestial Venerable Huo. She chuckled. ”In that case, Celestial Venerable Mu is trapped in a hopeless situation. Since Celestial Venerable Huo isn't here, it seems that no one is able to stop all of you from killing Celestial Venerable Mu.”
She sighed and said softly, ”Celestial Venerable, I'm sorry. Even if it was me facing this situation, I would be helpless.”
At this moment, the sun set in the west, descending among the mountains as the sky gradually darkened. Suddenly, many lanterns lit up with intense brightness, illuminating the entire city.
Waves of roars were heard from afar.
Qin Mu's heart stirred slightly as he cried, ”I knew it!”
Everyone paid no attention to his words as they raised their divine weapons and executed their divine arts, preparing to kill him.
Yun Chuxiu smiled. ”Celestial Venerable, what have you discovered?”
Qin Mu composed himself. ”I finally discovered why the masters of creation of the Great Void built such high city walls and what the walls are defending against.”
Everyone was slightly stunned, and there were some who looked around their surroundings. Lian Huahun frowned slightly as she flew and landed on a sentry tower, scanning the city in all directions.
The roars came from the darkness outside of the city, and they were getting nearer.
”Pan Chunjin, earlier you mentioned that there is no Youdu or Mingdu here. Also, we are outside the jurisdiction of Earth Count and Heaven Duke. In addition, those who die here won't return to the jurisdiction of Goddess of Heavenly Yin. In that case, for people who die here, where do their souls go?”
Qin Mu's eyes were bright as he solemnly said, ”The souls of the dead naturally remain in the Great Void!”
Yun Chuxiu couldn't help but say, ”Celestial Venerable Mu, do you think that these words can save your life?”
Qin Mu shook his head. ”I'm not asking you to spare my life, I'm saving yours. It's the Great Void here!”
Everyone was confused.
Qin Mu said coldly, ”This place is teeming with the consciousnesses of the masters of creation. Those who die here, they end up wandering around the Great Void. Since their grievances were unleashed, what do you think the masters of creation's consciousnesses would transform them into? In Youdu, the grievances of the dead become monsters, even producing devil gods or heavenly devils! These devil gods and heavenly devils carry with them negative emotions, plundering, killing, and committing all sorts of evil. However, Youdu is under the jurisdiction of Earth Count, which is why these devils are unable to cause much trouble.”
Everybody's hearts jumped. Yun Chuxiu hurriedly flew and landed on a sentry tower, and her delicate body froze as she looked around the city.
”As there is no Earth Count here, what's being produced would certainly be more powerful and sinister than the devil gods! They are what these masters of creation of the Great Void were guarding against!”
Qin Mu sighed and said, ”I was trying to save you. Unfortunately, all of you were persistent in taking my life. I predict that we're no longer able to escape.”
Pan Chunjin, Huai Yu, and the rest were skeptical. They each flew on top of the sentry towers. Within the darkness, they saw many gigantic, ferocious-looking figures. They couldn't help but turn pale.
