" Xiu Hongsu had once been a palace maid at Yan Tianfei's side; because she was quick of wit and of exceedingly high cultivation, Yan Tianfei had sent her out to serve as an official. Later, Yan Tianfei arranged for her to be given in marriage to the Azure Emperor of the Eastern Heaven — a couple both noble. The Azure Emperor of the Eastern Heaven was a powerful figure of Xiao Tianzun's faction, and there was much to ponder in Yan Tianfei's giving Xiu Hongsu to him as wife.
"The Tianfei is at the Heavenly Court and only comes here once in a while. It seems Mu Tianzun will not be coming in.
You may disperse — go back to mining. " Xiu Hongsu waved a hand, and from the Taishi lode the many ambushed axeman god-generals came out one after another, made a great salute, and departed, axes under their arms.
Shen Mu's eye corners twitched as he watched those burly axemen walk off. Xiu Hongsu said, "When word came that Taixu was in upheaval, Her Highness the Tianfei kept close watch on developments there and so did not come.
But the Ancestral Court is hardly peaceful either.
When we mine here, the ore ships leaving the Ancestral Court are often set upon by void beasts — a hateful nuisance, truly! " Shen Mu took out a drop of divine blood and smiled. "Xiuxiu, take this drop of blood to Yan Tianfei and tell her I have matters of importance to seek her out about. " Xiu Hongsu took the drop of divine blood, and her expression changed despite herself — within that blood lay a cultivation of the Dao, boundless and mighty; a single light touch sent Dao sounds curling about and Dao light spilling everywhere!
"This drop of blood. .
. " Her heart pounded with fright. Shen Mu said lightly, "Hao Tianzun's divine blood.
I will go on ahead, and wait for good news.
" Xiu Hongsu's face changed drastically.
She hurried to fetch a jade bottle, put Hao Tianzun's blood into it, summoned one of her capable lieutenants, and ordered him to set out at once for the Heavenly Court.
