Chapter 725 — The Southern Domain Emperor Lord's Face

"Has junior sister forgotten something?
" The bird-headed goddess understood at once and stirred her mind.
In the imperial treasury of the capital, a calamity-bringing divine weapon sealed beneath layer upon layer of seals suddenly shook with a boom, shattering the seals to pieces. Among them a vermilion-red gourd soared into the air, blasted open the treasury, and flew in a streak of light all the way toward Bazhou.
Before long, the bird-headed goddess raised her hand and caught the vermilion-red gourd.
With a respectful manner she said, "Senior sister, may your little sister go back now?
" Di Yiyue smiled faintly. "My junior brother of the Northern Emperor's school came to bring down calamity, and besides carrying off the Northern Emperor's divine weapon, he also left behind one of his own arms. " The bird-headed goddess's expression changed drastically.
Suddenly the wing behind her rose like a blade of fire, and with a swish she cut off her other wing. The wing streamed with fire, the flames incomparably gorgeous and dazzling, as though woven from countless feathers of divine script.
The bird-headed goddess endured the pain, laid her wing down, stepped back, and was reverent in the extreme. Di Yiyue smiled.
"Junior sister, that will do. When you go back, tell our master that senior sister Di Yiyue is here, that for twenty thousand years I have not paid my respects to our honored master, and kowtow once to her on my behalf.
" The bird-headed goddess's brow streamed with sweat from the pain, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Your little sister will certainly go before our honored master!
" Di Yiyue smiled.
"Tell her that if she comes to bring down calamity in person, I will not hold back. Go.
" She flicked a finger.
The bird-headed goddess was suddenly seized and spun madly against her will, tumbling into the depths of space and vanishing. Di Yiyue raised her hand and brushed lightly at the hole in space; the space smoothed over, and not the least trace could be seen.
Shen Mu said with concern, "Elder Sister, by making her leave a wing behind before she went, might you be leaving trouble for later?
She will surely bear a grudge against you.
" Di Yiyue laughed. "Trouble for later there certainly is, but the grudges of these little junior brothers and junior sisters do not weigh on my heart.
It is my several masters who are ruthless characters. Mainly it is that I am lazy, too lazy to go searching out these stone statues one by one. When the little junior brothers and sisters have suffered a loss, they will surely go back and tell the Northern Emperor and the Southern Emperor. Once the Northern Emperor and the Southern Emperor know that I am here, they will know that they cannot bring down calamity, and that forcing their disciples to bring down calamity will surely cost them dearly. So they will recall the other stone statues, sparing every disciple from losing an arm. And I, too, am spared the trouble of seeking out those stone statues one by one. Two birds with one stone.
" Shen Mu picked up the goddess's wing, and Di Yiyue cried hastily, "Don't touch it!
That is the Vermilion Bird's Sacred Fire. . . " Shen Mu had already picked the wing up.
Astonished, Di Yiyue examined his palm, and saw that Shen Mu's vital essence had turned into a small and intricate flame of runes, like a crystal, which precisely blocked the Vermilion Bird's Sacred Fire; however fierce and unyielding the Sacred Fire's power, it could not harm him in the least.
"This is the Xuandu Heavenly Fire?
" Di Yiyue said in astonishment. "The Heavenly Fire Great Dao you calculated out with the Taiwei Calculation Scripture? " Shen Mu nodded and smiled.
"I have been used to a hard and frugal life since I was small. That elder sister just now should be an expert of the God-Slaying Platform realm, and her wing ought to forge a rather good divine saber and divine sword, so I will put it away first.
