Chapter 1319 — Father and Son of Different Surnames
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 3
"A Celestial Venerable — truly terrifying beyond all expectation! " This big-headed youth was none other than Shujun, and his face could not help but turn ashen; he had come for Long Xiao, never imagining that Long Xiao would not be summoned by Earth Mother Yuanjun at all, and that instead he would run into that ruthless woman Yantianfei.
His divine consciousness was powerful, but all of it was spent on strengthening his body of flesh; had he not spent it so, he could have hidden in a deeper layer of the void and need not have feared Yantianfei's gaze. And now, even had he wished to flee into a deeper layer of the void, it was impossible.
Just as he was about to be swallowed into the Guixu abyss, a figure suddenly blocked his way — it was Shen Mu.
Shen Mu, too, could hardly withstand Yantianfei's divine art; with a whoosh he was dragged into the Guixu abyss, and from within the abyss came a peal like thunder, as though some giant beast had opened its maw and were tearing at him with all its strength — crunch, crunch — a furious chewing.
After a moment, Shen Mu seemed to have been chewed to bits by the Guixu abyss, and a cloud of bloody mist spurted out from it.
"Celestial Venerable Mu .
.
. " Shujun's heart was thrown into turmoil, and his voice trembled.
The bloody mist surged and again became the figure of Shen Mu, who waved to him and laughed, "No need to worry. Yantianfei's divine art is not so very powerful here.
" Shujun was aghast.
Suddenly the void quaked, and Yantianfei's figure appeared before the two of them, her cold, clear gaze sweeping over them.
Shen Mu stood in front of Shujun and laughed, "Lady Tianfei, we are allies. We parted only a short while ago — is there any need to strike to kill the moment we meet?
" "Celestial Venerable Mu, you and I are not allies. " Yantianfei seemed to want to see through his body and make out the big-headed youth behind him, and said softly, "And this youth is?
His cultivation in divine consciousness is quite good.
" "This is my adopted son.
" Shen Mu turned around, took the big-headed youth by the hand, and laughed, "He has made a specialty of divine consciousness arts. He has made a fool of himself before Lady Tianfei.
" Ten thousand objections rose in Shujun's heart, but he steeled himself and said, "Adoptive father, this lady is .
.
. " "Insolence!
" Shen Mu feigned anger and shouted, "This is Celestial Venerable Yan among the Ten Celestial Venerables — the Lady Tianfei!
Will you not pay your respects?
" Shujun hastily performed the salute of a junior, more disgruntled than ever at heart: "My seniority seems to sink lower and lower .
.
.
"
