The village chief grew even more bewildered, and a trace of fear rose in his heart: "The First Ancestor and I searched for the Shanghuang's relics and found the stone tablet recording the Shanghuang Overlord Body. That is why I believed the Overlord Body truly existed, and even kept a rubbing of the tablet. From what Divine Blade Luo Wushuang means, the Shanghuang Overlord Body is Shen'er—so the Overlord Body recorded on that tablet is Shen'er! The words describing the Overlord Body on it were actually spoken by me—Shen'er traveled to the Shanghuang era and repeated my words back! Wait, I am somewhat alarmed. Let me sort this out carefully..."
He felt his head was about to explode: "If my guess is correct, the lie I told spread to the Shanghuang era!"
The Divine Son of Chiming was still dazed. He looked at the ghost ship beneath the water, then at Shen Mu, unable to decide.
Beneath the water, light suddenly flashed, and the ghost ship vanished without a trace.
The Divine Son of Chiming instead let out a breath of relief, as though a great weight had lifted from his shoulders. He laughed, "Whether your words are true or false, now I need not board the ship."
Shen Mu laughed heartily and looked around. The Ancestral Dragon King and Feng Qiuyun and the others had vanished—they must have entered the ship.
"Divine Son, let us go to the riverbank and reminisce," Shen Mu invited.
The Divine Son of Chiming nodded and was about to follow him to the riverbank when suddenly Prince Qiuming laughed, "Shen Overlord Body called me to a halt and delayed my boarding, and now you want to just walk away? An invitation is not as good as a chance encounter. I descended to the mortal realm this time for the Three Heroes of the Jingping Reform. Since I have met one, I cannot let the Shen Overlord Body leave just like that."
Shen Mu stopped and turned to look at him.
Prince Qiuming said leisurely, "You have a Yujing expert by your side, and I have one by mine. What is the fun in experts slaughtering each other? Why not you and I settle life and death here on this river? What say you?"
Zhe Huali burst out laughing.
Shen Mu glanced at Zhe Huali, then said to Prince Qiuming with a gentle smile, "On this day next year, I shall visit the Prince's grave."
