Chapter 901 — Strangers in the Cell
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
The various divine powers and Daoist arts dazzled the eye. The Dark Demon Cult Masters looked at one another. "These dumb, big, crude, dark fellows have lived another life, and their divine powers have actually become refined. " They transported the Wasteland folk downriver, and the two sides still spat saliva at each other, bah-ing back and forth. The young Ancestor Master was helpless and could only let them be. Along the way, they encountered gods and demons of the Heavenly Court.
The Human Sovereigns and Dark Demon Cult Masters stopped quarreling. If the enemy was few, they would surge forward all at once—the Human Sovereigns fighting head-on while the Dark Demon Cult Masters used underhanded tricks. If the enemy was many, they would use teleportation divine powers to move the people and flee. The journey had been fairly safe, except that the primordial spirits of the Dark Demon Cult Masters grew dimmer and dimmer.
"You've been away from Fengdu too long.
" Human Sovereign Qikang said: "Ancestor Master Wen Yuan, you should all go back.
If you keep wearing yourselves down, your souls will scatter and your spirits disperse.
" The young Ancestor Master shook his head.
Before he could speak, Dark Demon Cult Masters Zuyang, Yulian, Si Yuanwei, and the others began scolding him all at once, arguing until Human Sovereign Qikang's head spun. Suddenly, the corpses of divine dragons and gods and demons floated on the river's surface. The Dragon Palace at the river's bottom had been smashed—clearly a great army of the Heavenly Court had attacked the Dragon Palace of the Yong River, and those gods and demons must have been Heavenly soldiers and generals who died in battle. Divine fire still burned on the river's surface, and the river water could not put it out.
On the bank lay damaged tower ships.
The Heavenly Court's soldiers and generals must have encountered powerful members of the Dragon Clan here, and their casualties had been heavy as well.
The Dark Demon Cult Masters burrowed into the corpses of those Heavenly soldiers and generals, dancing and capering in bizarre forms, then gathered around a massive Heavenly Court tower ship, hammering and clanking as they did carpentry. These Dark Demon Cult Masters were deft and quick, and to the Human Sovereigns' astonishment they soon repaired the Heavenly Court tower ship.
The Dark Demon Cult Masters stood at the bow performing their arts, transporting the people onto the ship. "You're in luck!
" They said with beaming faces: "We are the great army of the Heavenly Court, and you are our prisoners. We're escorting you on your way! " The tower ship rose into the air, and the banners of the Heavenly Court's army were unfurled.
They headed east, and along the way they saw more and more Heavenly Court warships emerging from the void amid the bursting bloody light of one flesh-and-blood sacrifice after another.
Their hearts grew heavier. They encountered a migrating group, and those escorting these mortals were divine power users from the Heavenly Sage Academy.
The scholars of the Heavenly Sage Academy told them: "A ghost named Lingjing helped us. Only because of that were we able to make it here alive. " "And Daoist Lingjing?
" The scholars said nothing. They carried these refugees onward, and again they encountered a young Daoist leading people who had come out of the Wasteland, struggling along.
That young Daoist was Dao Master Lin Xuan.
"Stinking Daoist, ox-nose, even more disgusting than the dumb, big, crude, dark Human Sovereigns!
" The Dark Demon Cult Masters scoffed at the Daoist sect's Dao Master, but still let Daoist Lin Xuan bring those refugees aboard. "You can escort these people to the Peach Grove of my Daoist Academy.
" Dao Master Lin Xuan took off his Daoist crown. It was full of blood. He said: "In the Peach Grove is Heavenly Venerable Moon.
