1015 The Sword of Village Chief, The Leg of Cripple (1/2)
Lang Wo and Shu Jun looked at each other, suppressing the shock in their hearts. As they were in a hurry, they didn't bother to think too much and entered the Gate of Heaven Influence.
Qin Mu allowed Dutian, Yan'er, the dragon qilin, and the rest to enter the Gate of Heaven Influence with the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Carriage before him, planning to follow them after. Suddenly, a paper boat sailed over. The Elder Messenger of Death on the boat said, \”Celestial Venerable Mu, please stay.\”
Qin Mu stopped his footsteps and said, \”Celestial Venerable You, how can I help you?\”
The Elder Messenger of Death said, \”Earth Count has instructed me to ask you—why are you mingling with the masters of creation? He mentioned they are vicious and wicked people and have performed many evil deeds. During the earlier years, they brought woe to the universe, committing all sorts of atrocities. Colluding with them is like helping a tiger pounce on its victims. You will lose the support of the ancient gods.\”
Qin Mu nodded meekly as he said, \”Celestial Venerable You, please inform Earth Count that it was completely due to his utmost support that I managed to achieve the title of Invincible Great Wizard. Naturally, I will never act without restraint. Regarding the masters of creation, I'm borrowing their power to deal with the Grand Emperor. Hence, we are just using each other. I have no intention of using their power to go against the ancient gods. I humbly prostrate before Earth Count, with profound respect and humility.\”
The Elder Messenger of Death stared at him. After some time, he said, \”Wasn't your last sentence a little overboard? Earth Count isn't Celestial Emperor, there's no need to talk about respect and humility.\”
Qin Mu said plainly, \”I was brought up by Earth Count. Being a junior, I have to treat him with profound respect and humility.\”
The Elder Messenger of Death remained staring at him. He couldn't help but shake his head as he said, \”Go, I will speak to Earth Count.\”
Qin Mu thanked him and asked, \”How is Celestial Venerable Yu getting along?\”
He was fine until Qin Mu mentioned Celestial Venerable Yu. The Elder Messenger of Death unleashed his accumulated anger and said furiously, \”He has been stolen!\”
Qin Mu got a fright. He cried, \”Celestial Venerable Yu was stolen by someone? Who is so daring to infiltrate Youdu and steal Celestial Venerable Yu? Did you not watch over him carefully?\”
\”I need to go around reaping souls, guiding the dead. There are a billion things that require my attention. Where would I have the time to watch over him?\”
The Elder Messenger of Death said unpleasantly, \”He's my elder brother, not my son. I could only watch over him when I had time. I allowed him to roam around in Youdu and didn't expect that a wretch would infiltrate this place to abduct him.\”
Qin Mu asked suspiciously, \”Where did that wretch who stole Celestial Venerable Yu come from?\”
\”Where did he come from? Of course, he's from your family!\”
The Elder Messenger of Death laughed coldly and said, \”You better manage the elders of your family well! This is truly audacious, coming to Youdu to commit evil! However, I won't be pursuing the matter. If Celestial Venerable Yu was to stay in Youdu, it would indeed inhibit his growth. But the elders of your family are bringing him around to pilfer. That, after all, isn't a good thing. Be careful about getting caught by the celestial heavens.\”
Qin Mu agreed and said, \”I will definitely discipline Grandpa Cripple and won't let him create mischief. Celestial Venerable You, please put your heart at ease.\”
The Elder Messenger of Death sent him off. After which, he sailed his boat back to the area close to Earth Count's third eye at the heart of his brows, recounting to him what Qin Mu said.
Earth Count said puzzledly, \”Humbly prostrating before Earth Count, with profound respect and humility. Did he really say that?\”
The Elder Messenger of Death nodded. \”He looked very sincere.\”
\”It's rare I receive such courtesy. I won't pursue what happened today. Go ahead and make a record for him.\”
The Elder Messenger of Death acknowledged and said, \”Now that Celestial Venerable Mu is separated from Son of Youdu, do I have to record that down individually?\”
Earth Count said, \”In the past, he and the Son of Youdu were one body, and the evil that Son of Youdu committed would be the evil he committed. We have to be fair. Just because they are now separated doesn't mean that his past crimes will be erased.\”
The Elder Messenger of Death agreed and said, \”Earth Count is indeed impartial.\”
Qin Mu returned to the world of the living and saw the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Carriage nearby. Divine King Lang Wo and the rest were waiting inside. The faces of Divine King Lang Wo and Shu Jun were still a little pale.
\”Divine King Sister, you're not afraid of Celestial Venerable Qin or any other Celestial Venerable. Why do you fear only Earth Count?\” Qin Mu asked puzzledly.
\”Earth Count is the sworn enemy of the masters of creation.\”
Divine King Lang Wo shook her head and said, \”Just your brother, Little Earth Count, was able to make the masters of creation flee helter-skelter, not to mention Earth Count.\”
Qin Mu was stunned. In the Paramita World, Carefree Village had always been in a position of receiving a beating. Things only changed when Qin Fengqing arrived.
Although the masters of creation of the Paramita World had peerless consciousness, they suffered terrible losses when faced with Son of Youdu Qin Fengqing. Many were eaten by this big-headed infant.
It seemed that the Great Dao of Youdu could suppress the masters of creation.
Shu Jun said, \”Although we have strong consciousnesses, our primordial spirits are weak. Therefore, our souls are weak, making it easy for Qin Fengqing to directly strip our souls for him to consume. He's Little Earth Count. When faced with the real Earth Count, the weakness of the masters of creation will be more apparent. It's very easy for Earth Count to kill masters of creation. In the great battle during the ancient primordial era, the number of masters of creation that died at the hands of Earth Count was much more than Celestial Emperor, Heaven Duke, and Mother Earth combined!\”
Divine King Lang Wo said, \”I haven't witnessed the great battle of the ancient primordial era, but I have heard of Earth Count's fame from the ancestor spirits. As I led the reform of the masters of creation of the Paramita World, absorbing the system of divine treasures and celestial palaces and embarking on the cultivation of primordial spirits, I did try not to let the masters of creation have any weaknesses. However, when faced with Little Earth Count Qin Fengqing, there's still a big gap.\”
