The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
" Scarcely had she spoken when Xu Shenghua and Lan Yutian withdrew and retreated; two men, four palms, all pressed together upon the Ancestral Court Primordial Cauldron.
Whoosh— The Ancestral Court Primordial Cauldron flew whistling out of Yujing; Xu Shenghua and Lan Yutian immediately turned and charged back, gathering up the crowd and breaking out of Yujing. Lady Nanxiang was, after all, a Hall Master of Miluo Palace, and mighty in strength; amid the chaos she too broke out of Yujing and joined the others.
"In Yujing there are all manner of strange treasures.
In the city is a well, forged by the First Young Master, Taishang, called Heaven-Reaching, which connects to past universes.
The First Young Master was kind, and sought to use this well to save the living beings of past cosmic epochs.
" Lady Nanxiang said swiftly, "There is also the strange treasure Flying Smoke, a treasure the Second Young Master refined when he attained the Dao, dissolving his own Dao realm to make it. The Third Young Master's strange treasure is the Great Prison—he hated evil as a foe, and used this treasure to suppress his enemies.
The Fourth Young Master's strange treasure is the Returning Light Mirror, which can capture people.
. . " "Nanxiang!
" Huadu led the host out of the city, and hearing this cried aloud, "Must you truly put us, your fellow disciples, to death?
Each has their own aspiration, true—but do you not remember the friendship of the comrades of the Dao in days past?
" Lady Nanxiang looked at the host of Miluo Palace charging toward her, all familiar faces, and sighed inwardly; she went on to name the strange treasures of the Fifth and Sixth Young Masters as well, saying, "These strange treasures, though not Dao-arms, are exceedingly powerful, and must be guarded against.
In the city there is also the Seventh Young Master's strange treasure, hidden beneath the meditation cushion of our teacher, the master of Miluo Palace.
Find it, and you will have a chance of victory. " She rose to her full height and alighted before the ranks, bowing to Hall Master Huadu and the others, and said, "Though I have stood against you all over a difference of principles, I truly cannot pass this barrier of my own Dao-heart, and cannot bear to raise my hand against you.
Since I have betrayed my fellow disciples, I should dissolve into the Dao and depart. In the next life, I will not know any of you.
" With that, her whole Great Dao crumbled away, leaving only her spirit.
One Hall Master was about to strike and annihilate her spirit to quell the hatred in his heart, but Huadu stopped him, shaking his head: "It is only a contest of principles, with no right or wrong. Let her go.
" You Tianzun raised his hand and gathered up Nanxiang's spirit, saying, "Fellow Daoist Nanxiang, until we meet in the next life. " With that, a divine power escorted her spirit flying toward the myriad heavens and worlds.
