Chapter 758 — The Spark That Spreads the Alliance

The third pole must be established. " A few days later, his wounds had healed.

Zhu Que'er returned to the palace and excitedly told them of what she had seen and heard at the Jade Lake.

"Word has already spread. " She said excitedly: "Heavenly Venerable Hao is in a dead faint and still unconscious. The Heavenly Emperor is furious and has ordered a thorough investigation.

But there is no wall in the world that does not let wind through; soon word spread that Heavenly Venerable Hao had plotted against Heavenly Venerable Yu, and so Heavenly Venerable Yu returned from the dead to take revenge on Heavenly Venerable Hao. The divine ability users of the acquired races were in an uproar.

Others deduced many conspiracies, and rumors flew thick and fast, with all kinds of versions. " Shen Mu blinked: "Then where did the word come from?

" Zhu Que'er looked a little bashful: "I only let slip a little of the truth, just the one sentence that Heavenly Venerable Yu took revenge on Heavenly Venerable Hao.

" Kai Huang and Old Ox could not help laughing. "Someone even dumped the chamber pot on the Heavenly Emperor's head, secretly saying that the Heavenly Emperor masterminded the murder! It was told with such detail! That sentence was not mine. " Zhu Que'er beamed, jumped onto her bird's nest, and swung her legs smugly in the Zhuque Sacred Fire: "But I know who said it. " Old Ox asked curiously: "Sister, who said it?

" Shen Mu and Kai Huang wore strange expressions and glanced at the ox.

Kai Huang thought to himself: "Senior Niu Ben learns quickly. " "Of course it was the Empress.

" Zhu Que'er laughed: "The Empress is a clever woman too; naturally she knows who moved against Heavenly Venerable Yu.

The two sisters have probably already kicked up a fuss in the harem. But afterward, the Empress's sister said that Heavenly Venerable Mu killed Heavenly Venerable Yu and then tried to murder Heavenly Venerable Hao, dumping the chamber pot on your head, little brother.

But any clear-eyed person can see there is much trickery in this. Many divine ability users intend to leave the Heavenly Court, but the Heavenly Court is thoroughly investigating every palace, searching for Niu Ben, Heavenly Venerable Shen, and Heavenly Venerable Mu, and strictly forbidding anyone to leave.

Those divine ability users are arguing endlessly, and the demigods have come to blows with the divine ability users again.

It is very noisy.

" She paced about excitedly: "The Heavenly Court is foul and chaotic.

The Golden Guards even wanted to search my Zhuque Palace, and I drove them out.

My heavenly palace, my boudoir—is that a place for such rough men to barge into? " Shen Mu could imagine the scene of this ancient goddess flying into a rage. "But you should be leaving too. " Zhu Que'er suddenly grew calm again and looked at the three of them: "I have received word that the Heavenly Emperor has asked the Earth Lord to act, to examine the divine treasury of life and death of every person in heaven and earth, and he is determined to find you. If the Heavenly Emperor personally asks the Earth Lord, the Earth Lord will surely grant him this face. You probably do not yet know the Earth Lord's magic power: if he wishes to investigate all life, no one can hide from his eyes! " Shen Mu, Kai Huang, and Old Ox felt a chill in their hearts. The Earth Lord indeed had this ability! The Earth Lord of this time did not yet know them.

If he recognized them, he would surely seize them and deliver them before the Heavenly Emperor! Suddenly Shen Mu said: "If the Earth Lord acts to investigate all living beings and gods of the Heavenly Court, then it should be when darkness shrouds the Heavenly Court. It is indeed time for us to leave.

" Kai Huang and Old Ox were somewhat puzzled; this was their first time returning to the past, but Shen Mu had already experienced it once.

"Sister, could you invite Heavenly Venerable Ling here?

" Shen Mu said: "I still have some things to say to her. " "That is simple. I will have someone call her over. " Zhu Que'er gave the order. Shen Mu waited a long while, and a maid said outside the hall: "My lady, Heavenly Venerable Ling has arrived. " Heavenly Venerable Ling walked into the hall.

Seeing Shen Mu and the others, she was slightly startled.

She had never seen Shen Mu's true face, so she did not recognize him, though she did recognize Kai Huang.

Heavenly Venerable Ling stepped forward and saluted Zhu Que'er: "Greetings, Lady Zhuque. " Zhu Que'er waved a hand and laughed: "You talk here.

I will go out and take a look; the Earth Lord should be about to act. " Shen Mu's appearance changed. Heavenly Venerable Ling stared at him blankly and cried out: "Heavenly Venerable Mu!

You, you. .

.

" Shen Mu said gravely: "Sister Ling, we are leaving, so I asked you here to bear witness, and to tell you not to give up hope.

" Heavenly Venerable Ling was thrown into confusion: "You are leaving?

Leaving for where? What of the human race?

Who will be this leader? And Heavenly Venerable Yu—he is still in his coffin.

.

. " Shen Mu smiled and said softly: "The world is treacherous.

The human race should unite itself, and the acquired living beings should unite themselves as well. Shen, Kai, and Niu Ben cannot remain here; we can only look back upon your history.

" Heavenly Venerable Ling grew even more lost and helpless. Shen Mu could not bear it and said in a low voice: "Would you be willing to join the Heaven Alliance?

" Heavenly Venerable Ling was taken aback: "The Heaven Alliance? " "Join the Heaven Alliance, draw in more capable and ambitious people to join as well, and build your own power.

. . " Shen Mu was about to continue when Zhu Que'er's voice came from outside the hall: "The Earth Lord has acted!

The darkness is about to come here!

" Shen Mu walked toward the hall's exit.

Heavenly Venerable Ling suddenly cried out loudly: "I am willing!

" Shen Mu turned back, a brilliant, sunny smile on his face: "Then Sister Ling shall be the Heaven Alliance's leader in the Longhan Era. Sister Ling, we shall meet again in the future!

" He strode out of the hall. In the distance, darkness surged like a great flood, drowning all, about to swallow this place!

Shen Mu bowed deeply to Zhu Que'er: "Sister, your little brother is leaving.

Your kindness in taking us in shall never be forgotten! " The darkness surged in and swallowed his form.
