Chapter 1561 — Zither Music on the Great River
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
The Golden Ship of Salvation came to the tribulation of destruction of the Tenth Universe; here all was calm and still, and no Dao-achiever tried to board the ship.
Shen Mu raised an eyebrow, quietly had the ship pick up speed, and kept his guard up.
Last time it was here that he had met the Fourth Young Master of the Miluo Palace, that Dao-achiever with the air of an emperor who sat beneath a tree studying a zither score!
That time, because Nanxiang Yuanjun had borrowed the name of the Master of the Miluo Palace, the Fourth Young Master had let them pass.
But he had never said he would let Shen Mu come back!
More frightening still: other Dao-achievers could not walk out of the long river of chaos alive, yet this Fourth Young Master of the Miluo Palace stood upon the river unscathed, his fleshly body, his dao fruit, and his dao tree all whole!
If he appeared to bar the way again, then even with the Golden Ship of Salvation, Shen Mu had no certainty of escaping!
The ship moved faster and faster, until it was running at its utmost; the far shore drew nearer and nearer, and Shen Mu's anxious nerves slowly eased.
Just then a bank of chaotic mist came surging toward him from ahead, and from within the mist came faintly, broken and halting, the sound of a zither.
