The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 5
Shen Mu's divine consciousness burst forth, holding her in place. He said gently, "Yan'er, the situation is still unclear.
Be patient for now, and let me investigate. " He frowned. The Southern Emperor Vermilion Bird was by no means an ancient god who favored reckless action like the Western Emperor White Tiger. On the contrary, from Shen Mu's brief encounters with her, she understood when to advance and when to retreat, and was exceedingly clever.
With the situation unclear, she would never do such a thing! Yan'er had no choice but to endure it. Transforming into a blue sparrow, she paced back and forth on his shoulder, murmuring, "My mother, she.
. . " Shen Mu raised his hand and let her stand on his finger, signaling her not to say more. Then he asked the divine official in a mild tone, "The divine artifact used to suppress the Southern Pole Heaven—to which Celestial Venerable does it belong? " "It belongs to the Fire Celestial Venerable," the divine official said.
"The Fire Celestial Venerable guards the Southern Pole Heaven. " The corner of Shen Mu's eye twitched.
His voice hoarse, he said, "The Fire Celestial Venerable? " The divine official nodded. Shen Mu steadied himself and asked, "The Fire Celestial Venerable came in person?
" The divine official said with utmost respect, "The Fire Celestial Venerable descended in person, reclaimed the divine artifact, and did battle with the Southern Emperor.
They have already fought their way to the Southern Pole Forbidden Zone.
Besides the Fire Celestial Venerable's own great army, the Red Emperor of the Southern Heaven has also led troops to reinforce, and the Heavenly Court's Divine Martial Guard has come to quell the rebellion as well.
I have also heard that the Heavenly River Navy will soon arrive.
" Shen Mu's eye twitched wildly.
The Fire Celestial Venerable had come in person, and there were also the two great Divine Martial Guards, two hundred thousand gods and demons, likely all powerful beings of the Jade Capital and Lingxiao realms. Add to that the Heavenly River Navy—this time the Fire Celestial Venerable meant to take the Southern Pole Heaven in one stroke! As he was thinking this, one sun after another was forcibly dragged into the sky above the Southern Pole Heaven, their powerful yuan-magnetism twisting space. Thousands upon thousands of gods and demons descended from the heavens, flying toward the Southern Pole Heaven to slaughter the god-and-demon army of the Vermilion Bird Celestial Palace! "But why is Qi Xiayu, the Red Emperor of the Southern Heaven, also here?
" Shen Mu felt some doubt. The Red Emperor Qi Xiayu was a disciple secretly cultivated by the Moon Celestial Venerable. Not only was she the Moon Celestial Venerable's disciple, she was also a disciple of the Southern Emperor Vermilion Bird—a spy these two women had planted within the Heavenly Court. There was absolutely no way the Red Emperor Qi Xiayu would betray the Southern Emperor.
That she had personally led the Southern Heaven's great army here to kill—there was something strange about this matter. But the Fire Celestial Venerable had always hated evil as though it were his enemy, and he was hostile toward the ancient gods. Coming to kill the Southern Emperor Vermilion Bird, he would never hold back! "The Nether Celestial Venerable once said that the Fire Celestial Venerable was no longer the Fire Celestial Venerable of old.
Could he truly have changed?
" He felt somewhat uneasy. Yan'er on his finger was practically crushing it, and Shen Mu endured the pain and continued asking, "How many days has it been since the Fire Celestial Venerable went to quell the rebellion? " The divine official said, "It has already been four days. " Shen Mu's heart convulsed violently several times.
He said calmly, "Since the Southern Emperor has rebelled and wrought chaos, I shall personally go to suppress the rebellion.
Long Qilin, set out.
