Chapter 944 — Bloodshed at the Ancestral King Palace
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 5
" His mind suddenly fell into chaos, and cold sweat poured from his brow: "This is terrible! His method requires abolishing the Divine Bridge Treasury!
He is preaching here to destroy the orthodoxy of my Ancestral King Palace! " He soared into the air and shouted harshly, "Heavenly Venerable Mu is deluding the people with heresy!
No one is to listen! " His voice was thunderously loud and at once overwhelmed Shen Mu's. Shen Mu laughed, rose to his feet, and said leisurely, "Why does Your Star Lord say such a thing? In what way is my art heresy? " Dan Fenglai's face was livid as he flew onto the terrace and cried, "Heavenly Venerable Mu is the chief of the rebel bandits of the lower realm, the monster of reform!
What he teaches you is demonic arts, evil arts—do not listen! Forget his words!
Whoever dares cultivate them, I will kill at once!
" Below the terrace, the disciples of the Ancestral King Palace sat in a sea of people; at this they all exchanged glances, not knowing why the Great Sun Star Lord had suddenly turned so stern.
A young man laughed: "Senior Brother, I think Heavenly Venerable Mu's Heavenly River Treasury is indeed quite workable. If we could abolish the Divine Bridge and open the Heavenly River, our strength at the same realm would probably increase by as much as forty or fifty percent!
" Before he could finish, Dan Fenglai reached out a hand and snatched; the young man rose involuntarily, flew into his grip, and was seized by the throat. "What did I tell you? This is an evil art, a demonic art!
" Dan Fenglai slammed him heavily to the ground; the young man vomited blood, his bones broken who knew how many. Dan Fenglai was about to continue when the sky suddenly bled—streak after streak of blood seeping out of the void.
His face changed drastically, and he knew at once that someone had slipped into the deep space of the Ancestral King Palace and killed his avatars! The blood in the sky flowed thicker and thicker, and his avatars died faster and faster, yet he could not even see who the enemy was! "The one who has come is an existence at the Imperial Seat realm—perhaps even a Heavenly Venerable!
" Cold sweat broke out on Dan Fenglai's brow, but at that moment majestic radiance burst from the sky, and the colossal form of the Ancestral God King appeared in midair, saying in a deep voice, "Heavenly Venerable Mu, someone has come to kill you. The Ancestral King Palace is no place for you to linger.
I beg you, elder brother, to leave at once; I will hold off the assassin in your stead!
" Shen Mu made a salute: "God King, we are meeting for the first time—where is the rule of driving away a guest? " The Ancestral God King returned the salute, lowering his hand half a measure to show his station a notch beneath Shen Mu's, and said, "A strong enemy has invaded, and it will be hard for me to keep you safe.
Leave as quickly as you can, lest disaster befall you and implicate my Ancestral King Palace as well.
Fenglai, see our guest out.
" Dan Fenglai raised his hand, his face livid: "Heavenly Venerable, please! " Shen Mu and the others rose and departed.
Dan Fenglai escorted them out of the Ancestral King Palace, still livid, and sneered: "Heavenly Venerable Mu, it is not that my Ancestral King Palace wishes to drive you away—there truly is an external enemy invading, seeking to kill you and frame my Ancestral King Palace!
" Shen Mu voiced his thanks and said with deep meaning, "Star Lord, how do you know it is an external enemy? It might well be an internal one. " Dan Fenglai was taken aback for a moment, then watched him walk away, and suddenly came to his senses. He at once returned to the Ancestral King Palace and made straight for the Abyss-Facing Terrace.
Before he even reached it, he saw several corpses—the corpses of his junior brothers and sisters.
