Chapter 1346 — Same Day of Life and Death
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 3
Have you forgotten, Brother Dao? We are sworn brothers!
We agreed in those years to die on the same year, the same month, the same day!
How could I go back on my word? " The Grand Emperor's face went black as iron; the mere mention of it filled him with smoldering rage. He sneered: "In those years I became sworn brothers with you under the guise of Da Hong. It does not count.
" "By the way, Big Brother, did you know? Third Brother Luo Xiao is already dead, and your little brother has been mulling over how to send Big Brother and Second Brother to keep him company. " Shen Mu wrung his hands and sighed, his face flushed with agitation, and he choked out: "To do in my two elder brothers and send them to accompany Third Brother has always been your little brother's cherished wish!
Third Brother has been gone these eight hundred thousand years. .
. " "Enough of your nonsense!
" The Grand Emperor was furious. "Will you release me or not? " Shen Mu said gravely: "Elder Brother, calm yourself.
You say you will not break faith, and I say I will not break faith, and the Heavenly Emperor Taichu says he will not break faith either, but the three of us are all men who have broken faith.
The four of us swore in those years to die on the same year, the same month, the same day, yet Third Brother has been gone eight hundred thousand years and the three of us are all still hale and whole, not one of us gone to die with him.
Therefore I cannot trust Big Brother. " The Grand Emperor was about to explode when Shen Mu said hastily: "What I mean is, when I have gone to the God-Slaying Platform, then I will release Big Brother. Even true brothers must keep clear accounts. . . " "Do not call me Big Brother!
" the Grand Emperor said viciously. Shen Mu amended himself, smiling: "Elder Brother. .
.
" "Bah!
" Shen Mu, sprayed full in the face with spiritual consciousness, took no offense; letting the spittle dry on his face, he said: "Brother Dao, calm yourself.
Neither you nor I am a man who keeps faith, so how do I know you will not go back on your word? If I release you and you suddenly renege, would I not be drawing water with a bamboo basket and gaining nothing for my pains? " The Grand Emperor's face was gloomy; after a moment he sneered: "I can wait for you to go to the God-Slaying Platform, but in the meantime you must not use me as a treasure and drive me into battle against others. The Grand Emperor's face must never be lost!
" Shen Mu nodded again and again, smiling: "I understand Elder Brother's thinking. . . " "Another matter: do not call me Elder Brother, and you are not permitted to call me Big Brother either!
" Shen Mu laughed: "After all, we were sworn brothers once; we asked not to be born on the same year, the same month, the same day.
.
.
" "That matter is not to be mentioned again either!
" Shen Mu thought for a moment, then moved the various collections kept in the vertical-eyed Shen-Character Continent into the Origin Embryo Divine Treasury, and only then did he take the treasure seal into the space between his brows.
