Chapter 908: A Mess of Accusations (1/2)

“You didn't kill the connate demon gods that came here before?” Lu Yun looked askance at the Yin Prince’s carriage.

“I’m just in charge of collecting their bodies,” came the snorted answer. “If I didn't collect their corpses, then they would also turn into those things.”

“Then it looks like it's those eyes that did it…” Lu Yun frowned.

“Not him either.” The Yin Prince rested her chin on both hands and cocked her head. “The big guy in the shadows wanted to kill you earlier, but the one behind the eyes blocked him from taking action. Otherwise, you’d be part of those footsteps by now as well.

“He’s the tomb keeper of Pangu’s tomb and here to conceal the truth.”

Lu Yun felt his head spin from all the possibilities and implications.

“So how do I retrieve Worldcarver?”

Though the footprints were inside the palace, he could keenly perceive that the void was filled with something unseen. Perhaps it was the akasha ghosts, or something else entirely. If he dared take a step away from the mother altar, he'd be instantly dissected by them. The Yin Prince couldn't do anything to them either.

“Come into my carriage.” The prince waved a hand to extend a path of black light before Lu Yun.

“Milord!” Yulei and the newly arrived Shentu protested at their master inviting the dratted human into his carriage.

“Milord, this Flame Emperor isn’t anything good. Please think twice about this!” Yulei blocked the way to the litter and glared ferociously at Lu Yun.

“Indeed,” nodded the white-clad young man with a sunny disposition. “Flame Emperor Lie Shan is infamous throughout the great wilderness for his perverted ways and pursuit of fleshly pleasures.

“It’s said that the greatest beauty Tushan has become his bedwarmer, as has the mountain ghost of Qingqiu Mountain his plaything. He’s built a harem in the human Yan Tribe and takes in beauties all over the great wilderness. He’s the number one lecher in all the land!”

Lu Yun froze, looking dazedly at Shentu. “Wait, say that again!” Ghostly black flames abruptly ignited in his eyes.

“Was I not clear enough? Are you afraid of your misdeeds coming to light before my master?” Shentu sneered.

In the carriage, the Yin Prince frowned musingly. This clean-cut human youth didn’t seem like a profligate lecher, no matter how she looked at him.

“This talk is all over the great wilderness now.” Seeing how furious the human looked and thinking back to when the youth summoned the Sal Tree of Life and Death, as well as how ferociously he defied the heavens, Yulei quickly added, “And it didn’t come from us!”

Shentu looked askance at his colleague. In his eyes, the Flame Emperor was just a minor human that wasn’t worthy of proper consideration. Even though he’d beaten Dijiang when the demon god wielded the Bell of Chaos, Shentu was still confident of taking down Lie Shan in battle.

“Then who did it come from?” An enormous golden dragon shadow slowly collected over his head; this issue touched upon his bottom line. It was one thing to accuse him of building a harem and collecting the various beauties of the great wilderness, but the sanctity of the little fox and Ah Bao was not to be violated.

“All of the connate demon gods are talking about it! Rumors fly thick and fast even in your human race,” Yulei quickly explained. This had made the rounds in the great wilderness a long time ago, almost everyone had heard and knew about it.

After becoming the Flame Emperor, Lu Yun bent his mind toward seclusion and deriving the future of the human race. He spent his days perfecting human cultivation methods and had no attention or desire to spare on matters outside.
