"Let us go over. " Shen Mu nodded, and the two of them walked side by side toward the great Kun's head.
All around, many other divine-ability practitioners were also hurrying toward the Kun's head, watching Lady Tianyin's carriage with excitement.
"How did you enter the strange realm? " Kaihuang asked softly, gazing ahead.
Old Ox grew anxious and tugged at Shen Mu's lapel, signaling that he should not admit it. Shen Mu said quietly, "The same way as you.
I wandered by accident into a mass of fog, and then I was here.
" Kaihuang glanced at him and smiled. "I have been here for several days now. When I first arrived, I was utterly astonished.
But now I have calmed down.
To be able to enter this bizarre and dazzling era and witness the source of a later civilization is a sacred and solemn thing.
I feel that I ought to be a bystander, and not interfere with this era. " Shen Mu smiled.
"And what if you do interfere? How do you know all of this is not fated? Perhaps your interfering with this era is precisely what has already happened in the past. By forcing yourself to refrain from interfering, you may instead cause something unforeseeable to happen in the future. " Kaihuang's brows lifted slightly. He said coolly, "It seems your thinking and mine are not the same.
I had thought you came from the Yong River as I did. It appears I guessed wrong. Those who follow different paths cannot make plans together. " Shen Mu gave a cold laugh.
"When words do not agree, half a sentence is too much. I see you as obstinate and self-willed, yet inwardly weak and incompetent, greedy for ease and pleasure. I feel ashamed on your behalf.
" Kaihuang frowned slightly and studied him carefully. "The name you use is false, and your face is false too. Clearly you are dark within, a ruthless hegemon with the wary gaze of a wolf and the watchful eye of a hawk.
You mean to throw this era into disorder. I will stop you! " Shen Mu said calmly, "Your name is false as well. Your outward bearing is resolute and fierce, and it is easy for you to deceive others into dying for you, but in truth you are a bastard who cannot withstand a blow, a man of empty reputation!
" Old Ox wiped the cold sweat from his brow again and again, groaning inwardly: "What is to be done? What is to be done! Why are the tempers of these two alike in this way?
The one hundred and seventh generation descendant has fallen out with the founding ancestor. If they keep arguing, I fear he will end up beating the founding ancestor! Being beaten by the founding ancestor is a small matter, but beating the founding ancestor, that would be a great commotion! " Just then Yin Tianzi's laughter came drifting over. "Lady Tianyin's carriage has arrived!
Brother Shen, Brother Mu, come quickly! " Shen Mu and Kaihuang broke off their gaze.
Limping, the two of them walked forward, their energies drawing at one another, secretly contending.
