952 Who Can Rival the Unsheathed Divine Knife? (1/2)

”Yue Tingge from the celestial heavens' Dao Sect hereby pays his respects to Celestial Venerable Mu!”

That Daoist in the black robes had a bad temper. He knelt down and kowtowed several times before turning around angrily and returning to the bonfire. He remarked, ”You're but a small divine arts practitioner who has the title of Celestial Venerable. I pay my respects to that title, not you!”

Qin Mu didn't take much offense as he said, ”This Daoist's temper really is bad.”

Luo Wushuang frowned slightly as he thought, 'Yue Tingge, Yue Tingge, I seem to have heard that name somewhere before…'

That Daoist Yue Tingge only cared about indulging himself in food and drink without his previous wantonness. He cared little for Qin Mu, only glancing at him a couple of times.

Qin Mu waved his hands, and the banquet was dispersed. The delicacies, beautiful ladies, and fine wine were all dispersed after morphing into consciousness.

He clapped his hands again, and many beautiful ladies walked out of thin air. They looked like a long dragon when they set up the running banquet.

”Ma ha…”

Suddenly, a giant head stretched over. It was the divine dragon that Qin Mu had visualized, and it stared at the banquet excitedly, drooling. It swept its tail around and filled the air with smoke.

Expectedly, this divine dragon survived the explosion caused by Celestial Venerable Huo's imprint. It even followed their tracks to this place.

'Was I subconsciously thinking about Fatty Dragon when I visualized the divine dragon? Is that why the divine dragon I visualized acts like this?'

Qin Mu's spirits were ruined by the dragon, and he put down his chopsticks and waved his hand. The divine dragon was happy, and it immediately jumped on the banquet to eat and drink to its heart's delight.

Luo Wushuang looked at that Daoist and whispered, ”Yue Tingge, celestial heavens' Dao Sect… Who exactly is he?”

He thought about the name for a long time, as that name gave him a familiar feeling, but he couldn't remember anything about it.

This Daoist had a mysterious origin. It was obvious that the celestial heavens had only sent them into the Great Void. Besides them, there were only Celestial Venerable Huo and Celestial Venerable Xu, so where did this Daoist come from then?

If it was a person sent by the celestial heavens in the past, then how did he survive in this treacherous place?

Suddenly, a voice sounded out. ”As expected of Celestial Venerable Mu, being so unrestrained and merry. No matter where he goes, he's surrounded by beautiful ladies that make people envious.”

Qin Mu looked in the direction of the voice and saw several gods that had been on the boat with him.

During the boat's trip into the Great Void, over half of the people on it became casualties. Around 110 people fell out at various places in the Great Void. In the last city, dozens more died, including Celestial Venerable Hao's disciples Xiu Yufang and Pan Chunjing.

Now, Qin Mu didn't know exactly how many people were left in the Great Void.

The appearance of the Great Void's monsters wasn't unique to that city. Other places experienced the same thing, and in those places, few people survived.

Luo Wushuang rose, looked at them, and solemnly said, ”Everyone, Celestial Venerable Mu's merit is unrivaled. He imparted the way to become a god to the masses. Now that we are in the same bad situation where our survival is uncertain, we need to stay united and work together to deal with the peculiarities of the Great Void. It's only then that we can hope to find Celestial Venerable Huo and Celestial Venerable Xu. What do you all think?”

One of them glanced at him and laughed coldly. ”Divine Knife Luo, are you cozying up to Celestial Venerable Mu?”

The knife lights in Luo Wushuang's eyes jumped, and he gave a cold humph. ”My name is famous throughout the celestial heavens, and I was given the title of the number one divine knife. When have I ever cozied up to someone powerful?”

Another young man laughed. ”Divine Knife Luo, Celestial Venerable Mu isn't powerful. Be careful not to cozy up to the wrong person. Our journey here, in name, is to receive Celestial Venerable Huo and Celestial Venerable Xu, but in practice, this journey's aim is to remove Celestial Venerable Mu. Divine Knife Luo, you're a smart person, you should have figured that out by now.”

A lady said coldly, ”The various Celestial Venerables ordered you here to help us remove Celestial Venerable Mu! Are you going to bite the hand that feeds you?”

Luo Wushuang was in a dilemma, and he looked at Qin Mu.

Qin Mu was surrounded by beautiful ladies, with one of them in his embrace. He told Luo Wushuang, ”Relax, Divine Knife Luo, I knew about the purpose of this journey. I also know that you don't intend to truly kill me, for you only wanted to challenge my sword skills with your knife skills. I understand your situation, you have to remove the devil in your heart at all cost…”

Luo Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief as he solemnly said to the other three people, ”I saved you. Without me, you lot would have died on the boat. In exchange, I order you to eradicate your dislike, hostility, and antipathy towards Celestial Venerable Mu…”

”Alright, Alright.”

That woman was impatient, and she said, ”Divine Knife Luo, if we give you face, we can't go back to the celestial heavens! Remember, your duty is to protect us, and that includes saving us! You failed at protecting us to the point where we were left with only 100 people from the original 300. That's already a great sin!”

”Divine Knife Luo, it's the celestial heavens who gave you a way out.”

That young man continued, ”Think carefully. If you help us take down Celestial Venerable Mu, you'll be able to achieve meteoric success after you return. Considering your current cultivation and strength, you shouldn't remain as a mere teacher in the Spirit Elite Guards. You can go out there and become a border commander with ease. Have you never thought about the reason you haven't been promoted?”

Another person laughed. ”It's because you never cozied up to someone powerful before. This is a great opportunity. Don't cozy up to the wrong person.”

Luo Wushuang looked as calm as still water.

Qin Mu rose and waved off the beauties beside him. He touched the divine dragon, whose tummy had become large and round from his feasting, before suddenly saying, ”Divine Knife Luo, in my opinion, we shouldn't test our blades anymore, there's no need for it.”

Luo Wushuang looked downwards and asked as if he was an old monk, ”Why do you say that, Overlord Body Qin?”

”I would rather break than bend.”

Qin Mu waved his hand, and the banquet and beauties disappeared. They dispersed after becoming consciousness as he leisurely said, ”I respect you, your extraordinary dignity, and your ability to separate friend from foe. I was impressed by your resilience and perseverance when I saw that you waited for 40 thousand years to face off against me again. Yet, seeing you so cautious and scared of consequences, I can't help but feel disappointed.”

Luo Wushuang's eyes expanded slightly as he plainly said, ”I'm overly cautious and scared of consequences?”

”I'm a Celestial Venerable, and you dare to challenge me, although it's merely the exploitation of my weakness and youthful nature.”

Qin Mu continued, ”Yet when facing these disciples of Celestial Venerables, you bow down to them and listen to whatever they say. When you were insulted, you didn't dare to fight back. A person who bullies the weak and fears the strong like you do isn't fitting to be my sword, let alone a divine knife.”

Luo Wushuang's eyes opened widely as the knife lights within them flashed and were almost unleashed.

Qin Mu continued, ”The knife god I saw was a wild, daring, and fearless person who dared to go against the heavens and the authorities. He wouldn't back off because the opponent was too strong, nor would he bully the weak with his strength. He would dance with the knife and drink the blood of tyrants after taking monarchs' heads. When facing the weak, he would lie low and hide, choosing to become a butcher of pigs instead. This is what it means to be a knife god. Yet you…”
