Chapter 671 — This Is Not My Fat Dragon
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 5
The Primordial Ancestor snorted again and turned his head away, refusing to look at him.
Shen Mu, helpless, examined the injuries to his physical body and found that the broken bones had already been expelled from his body, and new bone was growing—though at a slow rate. He could not help but be overjoyed: "At last, Grandfather Village Head can grow back his limbs!"
The Primordial Ancestor raged: "You smashed my bones to pieces just so you could use me as a test subject to heal your Village Head grandfather? Don't forget—your surname is Shen, and that Village Head grandfather of yours is surnamed Su. We are the real family here! Your elbow turns outward—"
Shen Mu hastily said: "It really wasn't me who smashed them—it was my brother!"
The Primordial Ancestor asked: "On the family register, your name is Shen Fengqing, is it not?"
Shen Mu nodded.
The Primordial Ancestor asked again: "And your brother? Is he also called Shen Fengqing?"
Shen Mu hesitated. The Primordial Ancestor read his expression and raged: "And you still say it wasn't you? It was you who struck me!"
Shen Mu, mixing a medicinal formula, said listlessly: "If you say so, then so be it."
"Princess Xiu, did you hear that? He admitted it! He admitted it!"
The Primordial Ancestor grew agitated and poured out his grievances to Ling Yuxiu: "In all of Jingping, I have only this one kin, and he beats me—he smashed my bones to pieces to use me as a test subject for his differently-surnamed grandfather..."
Shen Mu finished preparing the medicine and poured it down his throat, then had the Primordial Ancestor cultivate the Flawless Creation Mystic Sutra—attacking on two fronts for faster recovery. The Primordial Ancestor drank the medicine, his spirits revived, and he continued to pour out his grievances to Ling Yuxiu. Suddenly someone cried out loudly: "We've arrived at the Dark Capital!"
"The Dark Capital?"
Shen Mu quickly looked up and saw omnipresent radiance shining down, bathing every corner in the light of the Dark Capital—there was no shadow anywhere.
"The Dark Capital is the Heaven Lord's domain. The Heaven Lord's clone said that this time he would add another seal upon me, lest my brother escape and wreak havoc. I wonder if the Heaven Lord's true body knows about this?"
The massive fleet of tower ships sailed into the Dark Capital's radiance, then suddenly split apart, each proceeding along a different path. The advantage of dispersing was the ability to evade pursuit from the Heavenly Court. Though it was unknown how severe the Great Sun Star Lord's injuries were, if the Great Sun Star Lord should lie in wait to intercept and kill them en route, the people of the Suspended Void Realm would likely suffer grievous casualties.
One by one the tower ships deviated from their courses, each vanishing into the dazzling light. The tower ship carrying Shen Mu and the others continued silently on its way. More than ten days later, they once again saw the Heaven Lord's eyes. After several more days, they could no longer see the Heaven Lord's eyes—only light so dense it seemed almost to condense into substance. Shen Mu had been waiting all along for the Heaven Lord to impose a seal upon him, yet the tower ship traveled through the Dark Capital for nearly a month without any anomaly. At last, the tower ship sailed out of the Dark Capital's bounds and continued navigating through the dark starry sky, heading straight for Luofu Heaven.
"How strange—why did the Heaven Lord not add a seal upon me? Why did he not reclaim his clone?"
