" Qi Jiuyi smiled a half-smile.
"They have come to bring calamity, not to wage war against you.
And bringing calamity is not difficult for them.
For the deities of the Nether Capital who hold the Book of Life and Death, wiping out several million or tens of millions of people is effortless—scarcely worth the lifting of a finger. " The corner of Shen Mu's eye twitched. The Book of Life and Death did indeed possess such power.
Qi Jiuyi said, "Wipe out that many people, sacrifice them to the stone statues of Jingping, and the Divine Men revive and slaughter wantonly—and thus more stone statues can be revived.
" Shen Mu shook his head. "Even if those Divine Men revive, what can they do? Jingping now has so many powerful figures, and the power of the Wilderness Ruins is unfathomable.
What could their revival accomplish? " Qi Jiuyi said, "You carry a divine pot called the Five Thunder Pot, do you not? It is a divine weapon forged by the Northern Emperor, containing five cloud thunders, and within the cloud thunders are fire-bell divine weapons. " Shen Mu nodded. "I have heard of this Northern Emperor.
He is called the Great Emperor Xuanwu. " Qi Jiuyi said, "The Great Emperor Xuanwu is a born divine sage. " Shen Mu said, "Kaihuang once invited the Northern Emperor as a guest. " Qi Jiuyi said, "And yet the Northern Emperor's divine weapon has become a weapon for bringing calamity.
The Five Thunder Pot is only one of them.
More calamity-bringing divine weapons have also come to Jingping.
You must have hidden these divine weapons away, and that is why you feel so secure. The Northern Emperor's divine weapon is one of the calamity-bringing divine weapons—do you think the others are weaker?
Do you think you can truly hide these calamity-bringing divine weapons away? " Shen Mu's expression shifted slightly. "The other divine weapons are about equal to the Northern Emperor's?
Are they too born divine sages? " "Yes.
" Qi Jiuyi said, "Bringing calamity is by nature the method of born divine sages.
Once the stone statues of Jingping revive, those calamity-bringing divine weapons will slip from your control.
If I were you, I would leave this place as quickly as possible and hide as far away as I could.
" Shen Mu drew a long breath. A keen light flickered in his eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Brother Qi, we are plainly adversaries—why do you still warn me of something so important? " Qi Jiuyi smiled. "I have a grudge against you alone, not against the people here. And even if I tell you, you have no way to respond. Jingping will fall sooner or later.
Besides, I wish to fulfill a long-held wish before I go. " Shen Mu smiled.
"I fear you will not be able to fulfill that wish.
" "When masters cross blades, striking at the heart is best. " Qi Jiuyi smiled. "I have just revealed such a terrifying secret, and your Dao heart has already been shaken by me.
Our strength is about equal; if your Dao heart is shaken, then I am confident of victory. " Shen Mu said leisurely, "For the information you have told me, I can spare your life.
Please! "
