The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
Lu Li's pretty face shifted between light and dark. Her white teeth ground together, back and forth. She sneered, "Indeed, honored personages have descended. Why would such an honored personage descend to the mortal realm? Could it be that those above already know about the Shen family brat, and have come to harvest the fruits... It must be someone from the Nether Capital who sold me out! Hateful! Was it Han Lei or Xuan Ming? Or Yu Huang? These fellows—they are first-rate at stabbing me in the back, but when I ask them for help on ordinary days, they cannot even be bothered to lift a finger!"
Varuna said in a low voice, "Daoist Lu, that youth surnamed Shen is right beside the honored personage you spoke of!"
Lu Li's gaze fell upon Shen Mu. Shen Mu sensed it and looked up toward the demon camp. He did not know whose gaze it was, but he still flashed a brilliant, sunny smile.
Lu Li snorted. "He has grown up and become somewhat handsome. As a child he was so ugly he could scare a ghost to death!"
Shen Mu stopped a hundred li before the demon camp and called out clearly, "Shen Mu, Sect Master of the Heavenly Sage Sect, pays his respects here to the heroes of the demon race and the gallants of the Heavenly Court. Might I ask the outstanding figures of the demon race—is there any among you who dares to come and offer instruction?"
His voice took a moment to reach the demon camp. Though very light and faint, it nonetheless transmitted clearly into the ears of the many demon gods.
One demon god after another wore shifting expressions. Among the demon god disciples, the demon experts of the same realm as Shen Mu had basically all been killed by him.
"The demon race's experts of the Heaven-Man realm, the Life-Death realm, and the Divine Treasury realm may also come and offer instruction."
Shen Mu's voice continued to arrive, clear and loud. "Those of lower realm than I may also come and offer instruction. I can seal my Divine Treasury for a fair duel! Is there any who dares to fight?"
After a moment, Shen Mu received no response. His voice reached the demon camp once more: "The demon race has no guts. Brother Qi, it seems you and I must go first."
Suddenly, the gates of the demon camp swung open. One after another, demon experts charged out in a fury, shouting angrily, "Human brat, you dare insult the demon race as having no demons!"
Shen Mu smiled and said to Qi Jiuyi, "You and I warm up first—what say you?"
