In the Emperor's name, to bring the Western Lands to submission? With Shen Mu alone? He Yiyi's eyes flickered.
"The Sect Master's tone is rather too grand. What power have you to swallow the Western Lands? " Shen Mu smiled faintly. "I am the Sect Master of the Youmo Cult—that is my power. My cult has a million wielders of divine arts.
I raise my arm and a million gather; I point a finger and the great army goes where I will, flattening everything in its path.
Your Western Lands have rested easy too long. Every city, every region, each goes its own way.
Say nothing of facing the Emperor's heavenly majesty—even against my Youmo Cult's million divine-arts wielders, you are clay chickens and straw dogs, crumbling at a single blow! " He rose to his feet, hands clasped behind his back.
"I built the Sun-Shooting Divine Cannon and shot dead the Jade Lord of Heaven Above. I subdued Huanlong and set him to guard the Yong River; I subdued Baixi of Heaven Above and set him to guard Baisui Mountain.

"If I wished to destroy your Western Lands, it would take but a snap of my fingers!
" In the hall, every face went white. Shen Mu smiled.
"And yet I have no wish to see the people of the Western Lands trampled in blood, nor to shatter the peace here. If Nai Kui can be restored to the seat of Palace Lord, and Nai Kui leads Zhentian Palace to submit to Jingping—without moving a single soldier, without taking a single life—then what matter if I plunge through fire and water into the Western Lands? My own safety is, after all, worth less than the lives of the Western Lands' people. Sister Yiyi, are you willing to lend me your arm? " He Yiyi looked back at the heads of Juncheng's clans; they were frightened. Her brows knitted slightly—then she suddenly laughed.
"Sect Master Shen says my arrays are third under heaven. Might I ask who stands first under heaven? And who second?
Yiyi would very much like to see them.
"
