The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
After they had entered the Ancestral Court, these two armies had still pursued them here and kept watch outside the altar, hoping to catch a turtle in a jar! Luo Xiao, driving the giant void beast, had already charged into the encirclement, striving to cut his way out, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Brother Mu, follow me and let us fight our way out! " Countless heavenly soldiers and generals activated their formation arrays and surrounded him on every side; from the ships countless divine weapons and countless divine abilities soared up and came thundering toward him.
Still other numberless heavenly soldiers and generals pinned down the altar and killed their way toward it. Shen Mu looked all around, but did not see Divine King Gongyun, nor did he see Dahong.
To that ancient divine king, even more troops could not have held her; for not even Shen Mu's divine consciousness could break her divine-consciousness illusion.
She came and went through the armies of the Heavenly River Navy and the Nanluo Sect as though through unpeopled land. This goddess-king had taken Dahong away, and what awaited Dahong would be endless torment and humiliation. "Gongyun — could she be the Gong Tianzun of later ages?
" Shen Mu wondered silently. His gaze passed over the countless gods and demons charging in and fell upon Luo Xiao, who was fighting desperately.
Luo Xiao had already fallen into heavy encirclement; the Heavenly River Navy and the Nanluo Sect had laid a net spanning heaven and earth, and even Shen Mu would have found it hard to escape such layers of entrapment. "Luo Xiao!
" Shen Mu's divine consciousness surged and rushed that way, yet amid the might of countless divine abilities and divine weapons his consciousness was shattered again and again: "Do not take the void beast back to Taixu! That void beast was not subdued by you — it was subdued by the Great Emperor and deliberately given to you!
Do not bring it back to Taixu!
" Countless divine weapons shrieked up, a vast black mass, completely blocking the altar.
Yan'er hastily lifted the lantern, her face pale as she watched, and urged: "Young Master! If we do not leave now it will be too late!
" Shen Mu's divine consciousness struck out once more, but still he could not drive it to Luo Xiao's side.
"Yan'er.
" Shen Mu gave up trying, closed his eyes and said softly: "Put out the lamp.
" Yan'er blew out the lantern, but the radiance of the divine weapons and abilities made the area around the altar bright as day; still they could not leave this place and return to the ghost ship. Yan'er, Long Qilin and the six heavenly dragons watched the oncoming divine weapons and abilities in despair and could not help closing their eyes. "Where my body is, there is Youdu," Shen Mu said softly.
With a swish, infinite darkness spread outward from him as its origin and swiftly shrouded the altar.
The darkness came swiftly and vanished swiftly; in the next moment it was dispelled by the light of the divine weapons and abilities, and the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Chariot upon the altar, and Shen Mu, Long Qilin and Yan'er upon it, had all vanished. The waves of the Heavenly River surged; the river waters ran dark and deep, piercing through all heavens and all ages, and a ghost ship abruptly appeared, leaping up from beneath the water to float upon the river's surface. Banners fluttered, and on the banner faces were embroidered the two words Yulin. Wei Suifeng stood at the bow, gazing at the layers of mist ahead, then turned his head and said, "Junior brother, you were gone so long — what did you encounter?
" Shen Mu stepped down from the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Chariot and quietly regarded the mist on the waters of the Heavenly River, savoring it for a long while before he spoke: "I encountered history.
