960 Celestial Venerable Yun (2/2)
Yue Tingge and Luo Wushuang had plenty of doubts in their hearts, but they still complied with sending Celestial Venerable Yun's corporeal body into the heart of Qin Mu's brows, into the Qin word land.
Qin Mu let out a long sigh of relief and mobilized the Grand Emperor's sacrificial altar for the return journey.
The Grand Emperor's sacrificial altar went past Celestial Venerable Huo again. Luo Wushuang couldn't help but glance at Qin Mu, leaving Qin Mu no choice but to stop the altar. He said, ”Why don't both of you turn him around?”
Luo Wushuang smiled coldly. ”What good does that do? He'll still be trapped in the supreme consciousness realm.”
Qin Mu said, ”If he has to turn by himself, he would need another two hundred years' time. If we help him, we could save him two hundred years.”
Luo Wushuang frowned. Before he could say anything, Qin Mu interrupted, saying, ”Divine Knife Luo, can you guarantee that Celestial Venerable Huo won't kill Heavenly Master Yue and me after he's free?”
Luo Wushuang didn't answer as he and Yue Tingge turned Celestial Venerable Huo around.
The Grand Emperor's sacrificial altar continued to fly towards the outside. After a long time, the altar flew over the abyss of the void, arriving under the ring of stars. The three men and the dragon got off of the altar. After, Qin Mu put the altar away, only retaining the Grand Emperor's seal. He then looked doubtfully at the divine dragon.
The divine dragon was quiet during the journey, quite unlike how it used to chatter non-stop.
Suddenly, Yue Tingge's voice trembled. ”Celestial Venerable Huo made a step!”
Qin Mu got a fright and hurriedly glanced over. Indeed, Celestial Venerable Huo had made a step in their direction!
”Crap!”
His scalp went numb. He quickly charged towards the outside of the supreme consciousness realm as Luo Wushuang, Yue Tingge, and the divine dragon frantically followed him.
The closer one was to the core of the supreme consciousness realm, the greater the suppression. But Celestial Venerable Huo only needed to make the first step, the speed of his next step would then be much quicker because he was walking out!
For every step he took, the suppression would weaken slightly!
Given his abilities, he would break free within a short span of time!
Qin Mu's scalp went numb as he dashed forward with all his might, trying to leave this place before that happened!
Right at this moment, he heard footsteps.
It sounded as though mountains were shattering as the ground split, shaking the sky and earth, causing the void to crumble.
Qin Mu turned back and saw flames shooting up into the sky within the supreme consciousness realm.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps could be heard again. This time around, it was louder and clearer. The flames rose higher, burning the entire sky!
”I'm done for, Celestial Venerable Huo is free!”
Qin Mu gritted his teeth as he dashed forward wildly. Yue Tingge overtook him with a swoosh, running off by himself as he shouted, ”I don't want to die together with you. I'll make a move first! Celestial Venerable Mu, you'll help me hold up Celestial Venerable Huo. I'll burn some joss papers for you next year!”
”Burn your ass!”
Qin Mu was incensed. He saw Yue Tingge transforming into a pile of cubes, tumbling forward rapidly and disappearing without a trace.
Qin Mu charged forward with all his strength, but Luo Wushuang was faster and was ahead of him. Apparently, he had recovered well over the last few days and could utilize the magic power of either the Jade Pool or Jade Capital Realm.
”Luo Wushuang, you were chatting incessantly about rescuing Celestial Venerable Huo, so why are you running away?” Qin Mu asked angrily.
Luo Wushuang hesitated a while and slowed down his footsteps. He felt terribly ashamed as he said, ”I was thinking, given your reputation, if Celestial Venerable Huo kills you, he will silence me as well, so as to prevent him from carrying the infamy of killing a Celestial Venerable. I forgot the meaning of loyalty…”
At this moment, that divine dragon unexpectedly overtook him. It shook its head and swayed its tail, gliding along with the wind at a speed much greater than Qin Mu.
Qin Mu was feeling doubtful. 'This divine dragon was created by my visualization, so its abilities shouldn't surpass me… Oh no, it's the Grand Emperor! He has borrowed and occupied the body of this divine dragon that I created!'
Just as he made this realization, intense light from the flames suddenly shone on his back, heating him until his body became hot, as though it was going to burst into flames.
Qin Mu froze, stopping his footsteps. He turned around and gave a forced smile. ”Celestial Venerable Huo, it has been a long time.”
Luo Wushuang had no choice but to stop as well. He turned around, his knife qi surging, waiting in anticipation.
Celestial Venerable Huo flew up with a swoosh and leaped over them. He landed in front of that divine dragon and grabbed it with his hands.
The divine dragon struggled but failed to break free. It opened its mouth and laughed coldly. ”Celestial Venerable Huo, are you thinking of killing me? You are unable to. My consciousness is all over the supreme consciousness realm. I'm immortal…”
With a whoosh, it burst into flames and was reduced to ashes in an instant.
Qin Mu froze as Celestial Venerable Huo looked at him.
”Celestial Venerable Mu, we meet again.”
Celestial Venerable Huo was expressionless. Behind him, a ring of flames that looked like it was capable of burning everything rotated slowly. On the ring, tiny flames danced and leaped, periodically glowing and giving off extremely bright brilliance. It looked as though there were many suns within the fire that exploded out. When he saw Qin Mu, he was clearly agitated.
”Every time I see you, I recall how you walloped me at the Jade Pool,” Celestial Venerable Huo said.
Qin Mu replied with a serious expression, ”As the saying goes—from an exchange of blows, friendship grows. A lot of sworn friends for life or death were forged through the exchanges of blows.”
”It's better that Celestial Venerable Yun's corporeal body is in your hands instead of mine. Thank you.” Celestial Venerable Huo turned and left after saying this, his figure moving off into the distance.
Qin Mu was stunned. He shouted, ”What are you thanking me for?”
”Thank you for reviving Celestial Venerable Yu.”
Celestial Venerable Huo's voice came traveling back from afar. ”That year at the Jade Pool, I said that if you could find out who killed Celestial Venerable Yu, I would let go of my hatred for you. Not only were you able to achieve that, you even brought him back to life.”
Qin Mu waved his hand high up in the air. ”Celestial Venerable Huo, let's have a chat before you go!”
Celestial Venerable Huo's voice was getting further away. ”Whenever I see you, I'm disgusted and feel like beating you to death. You have to be wary of Celestial Venerable Xu. She is a dangerous person…”
Luo Wushuang's expression changed drastically as his heart throbbed wildly. 'I seem to have heard things I shouldn't be hearing. I have no choice but to revolt now…'
