Chapter 1221 – Founding Emperor’s Return
Di Yiyue, Farmer, Green Emperor, King Yama, and the rest looked at each other in dismay. They saw that the Grand Emperor had indeed left, but he still couldn’t completely break through the lotus landma.s.s. Instead, he uprooted the landma.s.s from the Great Void and flew off on the lotus landma.s.s, disappearing very quickly.
Qin Mu wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and said in a low voice, “Luckily, I have a big face. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. In that case, Heavenly Lady Qiang is in the camp of the celestial heavens. That little hussy of the Grand Emperor… Why are you looking at me? You rebels are in chaos. Do you want to rebel? I’ll bring the army of the celestial heavens to exterminate you!”
Di Yiyue, Farmer, Green Emperor, King Yama, and the rest beat up Celestial Venerable Mu, who was clamoring to exterminate them, in front of Saint Woodcutter. His face was swollen, and Niu Sanduo also squeezed in and took the chance to give him two kicks.
Qin Mu was beaten miserably, and he went to complain to Saint Woodcutter. However, he saw Saint Woodcutter wiping the bloodstains on his fist. When he saw him, he hurriedly put his hands behind his back.
“Good disciple, don’t always anger them, they will get beaten up easily.” Woodcutter consoled him with good intentions.
Qin Mu sneered.
Saint Woodcutter’s expression didn’t change. “Can you really drag the Grand Emperor down with you?”
Qin Mu nodded.
“What a pity—”
Saint Woodcutter gave a long sigh. “It’s a pity that the Grand Emperor is still too timid. Otherwise, he could kill two birds with one stone and eliminate two scourges in one go.”
Qin Mu sneered and said, “Teacher, you can only take advantage of me with your mouth. When I beat you, my hands and feet don’t move, my head doesn’t move, I only move a finger!”
Saint Woodcutter felt that he had hit too lightly.
“Are you really not going to meet Founding Emperor but going to the camp of the celestial heavens?” he asked.
Qin Mu nodded and said, “You guys are old friends with Founding Emperor, so I can only be a junior if I go. If I go, I’ll be worried. If I return to the camp of the celestial heavens, I can still be a superficial Celestial Venerable, so why not? I’m worried about your safety, so I’ll escort you guys safely to the Great Void. I should be leaving.”
Saint Woodcutter was very unhappy, but he had to admit that what Qin Mu said made sense. If Qin Mu didn’t escort them, their entire group would have been wiped out.
“I’m leaving.”
Qin Mu waved his hand and was about to leave when he suddenly stopped and turned his head back. “Teacher, you have taught big senior brother with your heart and also taught third junior brother with your heart, but you didn’t teach me with your heart. You didn’t even teach me anything. Now that you see my abilities, do you regret not teaching me properly?”
Woodcutter broke into laughter. “Your words and tone seem to be because Teacher betrayed the sect unfairly and came back to get rid of what Teacher said before.”
Qin Mu said with a straight face, “I’m only asking if Teacher has any regrets.”
Saint Woodcutter was solemn and shook his head. “I have never regretted it.”
Qin Mu was slightly stunned.
Saint Woodcutter said righteously, “I teach according to my apt.i.tude, so I know what to teach Wei Suifeng and what to teach Jiang Baigui. Only you and I don’t know what to teach. You are the one and only Overlord Body, you are innately wise and powerful, your mind clear and your will is clear, and you are as profound as the abyss. If I teach you by force, it will only delay you. As I expected, you are more promising than your senior and junior brothers! I’m very gratified.”
Qin Mu revealed a smile. “I knew this was the reason why Teacher wasn’t willing to teach me. I’m leaving!”
Saint Woodcutter saw him off and only let out a shaky breath after a long time. ‘This brat always looks like he’s going to bully his master and destroy his ancestors. If I don’t flatter him, he might just get rid of me. But then again…’
He revealed a smile. “This is my most outstanding disciple…”
Di Yiyue, Farmer, Green Emperor, King Yama, and the rest came to his side. Di Yiyue asked curiously, “Wen Tiange, does your disciple really have the face to make the Grand Emperor retreat?”
“Face is equal to ability. Without such great ability, there’s no such thing as face.”
Woodcutter said with a smile, “The Grand Emperor is very wary of the masters of creation in the Great Void, and we are working together with them, so he wants to get rid of us. Celestial Venerable Mu has the ability to perish with him, which is why the Grand Emperor gave Celestial Venerable Mu face. It’s not that the Grand Emperor doesn’t want to get rid of us.”
Martial Arts Heavenly Teacher Guan Cha said worriedly, “Is he really going back to the main camp of the celestial heavens? Isn’t he afraid of being killed there? The celestial heavens and the Great Void are at war, and it’s common for people to die on the battlefield. Killing him here is as easy as blowing off dust.”
Woodcutter had a calm expression as he shook his head. “There was still a possibility of killing him in the past, but now, it’s not as easy to get rid of Celestial Venerable Mu as those people think.”
Everyone was filled with emotions.
When they had first met Qin Mu, he was just a small divine arts pract.i.tioner. Never did they expect that he had already stepped into the realm of competing with the older generation and couldn’t be underestimated.
Heavenly Teacher Fisherman said, “The people of the celestial heavens still don’t know that he has already grown to this extent. When the strong pract.i.tioners of the celestial heavens realize this and accept it, I wonder if there will be rivers of blood.”
The Paramita Ark sailed out of the void and appeared in the sky above the Land of the Great Void. Soon, they saw numerous G.o.ds carrying coffins flying over from afar. An elder sat in the coffin. When he saw them, he stood up excitedly from the coffin and waved his hand.
Woodcutter and the rest were also indescribably excited. Their hearts were surging, and their blood boiled.
Twenty thousand years had pa.s.sed, and their old comrades had finally reunited!
Further away, a middle-aged emperor stood on the city tower and looked at the approaching Paramita Ark.
Woodcutter and the rest looked at Founding Emperor Qin Ye with complicated expressions. After a moment, they still walked forward and bowed. “Wen Tiange, we have been separated from our comrades for twenty thousand years. Please return!”
Di Yiyue bowed. “Sinful subject, Di Yiyue, I beg you to return!”
Martial Arts Heavenly Teacher bowed, “Defeated general, please return!”
Sakra bowed. “Escaped soldier Li Youran, please return!”
King Yama bowed. “Fengdu Provincial Governor Qin Feng has guarded the borders for twenty thousand years and is here to report his duties!”
…
Founding Emperor Qin Ye looked at them, and his emotionless eyes couldn’t be suppressed. He bowed and said, “Sinful Sovereign Qin Ye, I have let you down. Please return to your positions!”
At this moment, Qin Mu left the void and came to the vast battlefield. There were traces left behind by the battle between Carefree Village’s Paramita Void and the army of the celestial heavens. The corpses of numerous G.o.ds and devils had yet to be buried, and there were some ferocious mounts roaming the battlefield. They had regained their wild nature and were currently gnawing on the corpses.
Qin Mu met some small teams from the celestial heavens and Carefree Village. There were G.o.ds and devils, as well as divine arts pract.i.tioners. They roamed the mountains and rivers of the Great Void, looking for opportunities to get rid of enemies to train themselves.
Some of the divine arts pract.i.tioners and G.o.ds of Carefree Village even brought young masters of creation to train and kill in the gaps between the two armies.
“Celestial Venerable Mu!”
One of the cavalry of the celestial heavens saw Qin Mu and was astonished. He hurriedly reined in his mount and looked into the distance, only to see Qin Mu’s figure fade and vanish.
The cavalry rushed forward and saw that Qin Mu had already vanished.
Qin Mu walked into the Great Void’s Youdu and saw the army of Black Deity and Son of Heaven Yin setting up camp. It stretched for tens of thousands of miles, separating the Great Void and Youdu into two halves.
Half of it was the sphere of influence of the celestial heavens, while the other half was the sphere of influence of Carefree Village. There were numerous G.o.ds guarding it.
“Bad brother!”
Qin Fengqing was delighted. When he saw Qin Mu coming over, he immediately rushed out and picked him up, hugging him tightly.
