But times have changed; the age of the Ten Celestial Venerables should be drawing to its close. The Seventh Young Master of Miluo Palace has come to pay a visit!
" The Golden Ship of Salvation arrived outside the Heavenly Court.
Shen Mu's voice rolled out and soon spread through the whole Heavenly Court. After a moment, five dao trees quivered, and one dao fruit after another floated into the air. From the fruits dao chains spilled out, shooting in every direction; chain linked with chain until they became an enormous net, woven and crossed, covering the whole Heavenly Court, not a breath of air passing through! Seeing this, Celestial Venerable Yue said doubtfully, "Mu, they seem to be guarding against you as if against a thief.
.
. " Shen Mu's face brimmed with confidence. He smiled slightly: "This is absolutely a misunderstanding! Rest assured, they know who I am, so of course they must make preparations and welcome us with great fanfare!
" The Heavenly Court was in chaos.
Most of those guarding it were beings of prehistoric Celestial Venerable level, their cultivation and strength extraordinary. One expert after another sent their primal spirits out of their bodies, activating their various dao realms, dense beyond measure, guarding the Heavenly Court ever more tightly! Celestial Venerable Yue looked into the Heavenly Court and saw artifact after artifact being wheeled out from the various halls and treasuries.
These were mighty artifacts newly forged by the prehistoric experts after they had stowed away here, quite different from Jingping's.
One artifact after another was roused to its full might, and they were unmistakably pointed at Shen Mu and Celestial Venerable Yue!
Shen Mu was about to speak when suddenly someone in the Heavenly Court shouted, "The Miluo Palace villains are here! Everyone be on guard, pull yourselves together! The Five Elders, the Five Elders!
" An aged voice rang out, shouting, "Do not panic! The Miluo Palace villain is only a greenhorn now, not yet the Seventh Young Master. We do not fear him!
" Shen Mu's face went black at once, and Celestial Venerable Yue hid a smile behind her hand. Suddenly a woman's voice came from the side, clear and loud: "The Hall of Joy of Miluo Palace, together with His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor of the Seventeenth Era, at the command of the Third and Fourth Young Masters, has come to pay respects to the Five Elders of Fengshu. " Shen Mu looked to the side and saw a woman with only her upper body remaining standing atop a dao tree.
Below the tree, Heavenly Emperor Hao strode over, smiling at him.
Shen Mu ignored Heavenly Emperor Hao entirely. His gaze fell on the Hall Master of Joy, and he said with a gentle smile, "Daoist Joy, we meet again.
" The Hall Master of Joy did not dare be remiss. She bowed on the dao tree and said with the utmost respect, "Greetings, Seventh Young Master!
You ordered Lord Shang to kill me, and on the road you used divine powers to harm me, yet I still escaped with my life.
When this is spread abroad, I shall have great face indeed. " Shen Mu laughed heartily, taking no offense. "My targets were not you, but Chu Ge and Changfeng.
Chu Ge and Changfeng are dead, both slain by me. It will not be long before you go to join them.
" A chill struck the Hall Master of Joy's heart. She sneered, "Seventh Young Master, we come from the same school, we are both disciples of the Master.
Do you butcher your fellow disciples so, and not fear the Master? " Shen Mu was unconcerned: "I am not yet the Master's disciple, so it does not count as butchering my fellow disciples. Besides, Miluo Palace has laid waste to the Seventeenth Era.
As the strongest in the Seventeenth Era, I must of course protect all living beings and execute the Way of Heaven. " The Hall Master of Joy snorted. Heavenly Emperor Hao smiled slightly and said, "Celestial Venerable Mu, you are obstinate in your delusion.
