It is you, rather, who come bringing this fellow cultivator, with some ill design. I fear you mean to use her hand to do away with me! " She sneered. "I can sense the killing intent in her! " Shen Mu could not help laughing. "Why would I do away with you? You and I have no grievance and no enmity.
You wish to borrow my strength so as to have a way of retreat; I too wish to borrow your strength to oppose the Heavenly Court.
If you and I join, both profit; if we part, both suffer. I have come to visit in order to counsel you not to seek your own death. In truth, it was not I who saw that this is a trap aimed at the Ancient Gods; it was the Northern Emperor Xuanwu who saw that this is a trap inviting the lord into the jar, and he asked me to come and tell you. " Only when the Western Emperor heard that it was the Northern Emperor Xuanwu who had sent him to warn her did her doubts dissolve. She probed, "It was truly the Northern Emperor Xuanwu who sent you? " Shen Mu nodded, smiling. "If the Western Emperor does not believe it, then send someone to the Northern Pole Heaven to ask.
" The Western Emperor was half convinced, half doubtful. She opened the chariot window and summoned a female divine general, giving her a set of instructions.
The female divine general bowed in haste and hurried off. Shen Mu said leisurely, "For your gods to go and return will take several days, I fear.
Better this: withdraw your troops first.
When Heavenly Venerable Hong sees there is no hope of killing you, he will know you have seen through his scheme, and there will be no need for him to keep hiding.
I will call him out, and he is certain to appear for a meeting. " The corner of the Western Emperor's eye twitched. She opened the chariot window again and gave an order. Outside came the sound of the gong recalling the troops; the great army of Western Pole gods and demons withdrew one after another, and even in retreat they were without the slightest disorder.
Shen Mu rose, came to the side of the Divine King Langwan, opened another chariot window and looked out, and could not help but marvel.
"How do the officers and soldiers under my command look to the Heavenly Venerable Mu? " the Western Emperor said with a smile.
Shen Mu said sincerely, "Truly strong troops, seldom seen in this world. Only a shade inferior to Jingping, but by no means weak.
" The Western Emperor was displeased.
"Jingping? A mere pellet of land, and it has strong troops?
" "Your Majesty, Jingping inherits the teaching of Kaihuang, and the pupil surpasses the master.
In fighting strength it cannot compare with the Western Pole Heaven, but in battle formations, the Western Pole Heaven cannot hold a candle to it. " Shen Mu stepped out of the treasure chariot and said in a ringing voice, "Heavenly Venerable Hong, since you have come, why not show yourself for a meeting? " He stirred his divine consciousness, and his voice traveled to Heaven Rampart City, turning into rolling thunder.
The Western Emperor looked through the window at the divine artifact Yutianzun. The artifact did not move.
She looked at Shen Mu outside the chariot, and her pupils contracted slightly.
The Divine King Langwan gave a light cough, and the Western Emperor's pupils dilated again. She smiled.
"Fellow cultivator, you give me a very familiar feeling. Have we met before?
" The Divine King Langwan said, "Perhaps we have, and perhaps we have not.
" The Western Emperor's eyes flickered.
"You are very strange. You make me more and more certain that you are. .
.
" Suddenly her pupils shrank sharply, and she turned her head at once.
The eyes of the divine artifact Yutianzun had opened, and a sheet of white light shot forth, a white radiance brighter than a thousand suns, like a bridge of light. This bridge of light rested exactly upon the South Heaven Gate of the White Tiger Heavenly Palace, pressing down upon its top!
