Tales Of Herding Gods | Chapter 1236 - Grand Emperor Shang Pinying
Celestial Venerable Xu was dressed in black, and her long black robe was like a black waterfall. When it reached her waist, it contracted and spread out like a skirt, covering the ground. The two horns on her head were tall, and they were like rivers of lava. They curved in all directions, making her very eye-catching.
Her eyes swirled as her gaze landed on Meng Yungui. She asked softly, "Why do you say that?"
Meng Yungui gently swept his hand across the air, and portraits of Qin Mu flew up and floated in front of Celestial Venerable Xu.
"Celestial Venerable, please take a look."
Meng Yungui showed these portraits one by one and analyzed Qin Mu's character. "In this painting, I said I had gone to meet Son of Heaven Yin, and Son of Heaven Yin was full of praise for him. He was humble and said it was a small matter, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the pupils of his eyes were slightly bigger. This was his proud expression."
He took out another painting and continued to analyze it. "This is the painting he heard me asking about how to deal with the situation. His gaze flickered as he diverted the topic."
He analyzed the paintings one by one, and everything made sense.
Celestial Venerable Xu listened quietly. Suddenly, Meng Yungui waved his hand, and all the portraits burned into ashes.
Celestial Venerable Xu was stunned.
"However, they are all fake!" Meng Yungui said coldly.
Celestial Venerable Xu tilted her head to look at him. "Why do you say that?"
'The minute expressions in these paintings and any psychological expression are all fake! Even if I exposed his motive and said that his idea was to steal the Primordial Tree to steal the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu, he was actually faking it by pretending to laugh loudly!'
Meng Yungui said in a low voice, "He only said those words to deceive me and create an illusion for me, making me feel that he isn't shrewd and unfathomable. No expression on his face can be trusted at all! He has never revealed his true thoughts in front of me! To be able to do this, he must have started training from a young age, making him develop a habit of being good at disguising himself!"
Celestial Venerable Xu asked, "In that case, why do you say Celestial Venerable Mu must die?"
Meng Yungui's eyes shone brightly. "Celestial Venerable Mu is definitely not someone who can be changed. Not only that, he is even changing the situation in the celestial heavens. After the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu was created, did Celestial Venerable think that the world was going to be peaceful?"
Celestial Venerable Xu nodded gently.
"And?"
Meng Yungui continued, "It's precisely because Celestial Venerable Mu went to the celestial heavens that the ten Celestial Venerables didn't get along. Although they didn't split up on the surface, I could see that there was already a huge gap between the ten Celestial Venerables. Other than that, it was Celestial Venerable Qin's comeback. Without Celestial Venerable Mu, Celestial Venerable Qin wouldn't have come back! If Celestial Venerable Qin didn't come out, the Great Void wouldn't be in its current state. The celestial heavens wouldn't have been split apart by Celestial Venerable Qin's sword! Even the ancestral court wouldn't have appeared!"
"What's even more astonishing is that the Dao hearts of all the gods in the world are defective because of the split of the celestial heavens! It's Celestial Venerable Mu who started the current situation!"
Meng Yungui said loudly, "Without him, Heaven Duke and Earth Count wouldn't have joined forces, and the Grand Emperor wouldn't have revived! Celestial Venerable Yue would have continued to sink into oblivion, and she wouldn't have the heart to move again! Thus, Celestial Venerable Mu must die! With Celestial Venerable's command, I can do this. I will do it beautifully, and I won't leave any traces behind!"
Celestial Venerable Xu frowned slightly and said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. Regarding Celestial Venerable Qin, Heaven Duke, and Earth Count, the celestial heavens have plans. Heavenly Teacher Meng, let me ask you. If I want to survive, do you think I should agree to Celestial Venerable Huo's marriage?"
Meng Yungui's body trembled slightly, and he lowered his head. "I don't understand."
Celestial Venerable Xu said indifferently, "How could you not understand? You understand very well. You are greedy for money just to give others something to use against you. With something against you, the Celestial Venerables won't touch you. Meng Yungui, you are my man, you don't have to be so careful. Just say it."
Meng Yungui bowed even lower and said in a low voice, "To marry Celestial Venerable Huo, Celestial Venerable should be interested in Celestial Venerable Hao's power, right?"
Celestial Venerable Xu nodded gently.
Meng Yungui secretly tilted his head and raised his eyelids to observe her every move. Seeing her nod, he continued, "In that case, may I ask, Celestial Venerable, if you marry Celestial Venerable Huo, would Celestial Venerable Hao value you more, or would he value Celestial Venerable Huo more?"
Celestial Venerable Xu smiled. "Continue."
Meng Yungui mustered up his courage and said, "Naturally, we will value Celestial Venerable Huo more. However, Celestial Venerable Huo is a human, so how could Celestial Venerable Hao trust Celestial Venerable Huo without any reservations? In the future, if Celestial Venerable Hao really unites the world, he will definitely lay his hands on Celestial Venerable Huo. If Celestial Venerable marries Celestial Venerable Huo, you will also be harmed."
"When a cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog will be cooked. I understand this logic," Celestial Venerable Xu said with a nod.
"Since Celestial Venerable is interested in Celestial Venerable Hao's power, why do you have to make a wedding dress for Celestial Venerable Huo? Just lower yourself and admit Celestial Venerable Hao's leadership position. When Celestial Venerable Hao cleans up in the future, Celestial Venerable won't be implicated by Celestial Venerable Huo."
Meng Yungui said in a low voice, "Celestial Venerable Hao can't contain Celestial Venerable Huo of the human race, but he can contain the half-god Celestial Venerable Xu. This is the path of survival for the future Celestial Venerable."
Celestial Venerable Xu looked at him, and Meng Yungui's body became even lower, almost falling to the ground.
Suddenly, Celestial Venerable Xu laughed and said, "What if Celestial Venerable Mu wins in the future?"
Meng Yungui's bent body couldn't take it anymore, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, not daring to speak.
"Rise."
Celestial Venerable Xu said indifferently, "There's no need to be so cautious in front of me. No matter how much you calculate, you didn't calculate what changes the Grand Emperor's revival would bring. The Grand Emperor is the biggest threat. He definitely won't settle down after his revival."
Her figure gradually faded away, and her voice rang out. "Whether or not to kill Celestial Venerable Mu will be put aside for now. The Grand Emperor is the most important thing now. He still hasn't left the Great Void and is still hiding here."
Meng Yungui carefully got up and said in a low voice, "Celestial Venerable Mu is here to see my abilities. I wonder what he saw…"
"Grandmaster Meng is truly extraordinary."
Qin Mu came to the divine city of the number one heavenly master, Shang Pinying, and walked through the main camp of the celestial heavens. The soldiers of the celestial heavens came and went, and they were all majestic.
"There are many celestial heavens' painters in the courtyard behind him. These painters have yet to enter the path of painting, so they are observing me and painting me. However, they aren't skilled in painting, so they can't hide it from me with just a brush. Heavenly Teacher Meng is borrowing their brush to paint me, using this to deduce my character and weakness."
Qin Mu looked around and checked the formation of the celestial heavens' army. He thought to himself, 'But he can't see anything. Celestial Venerable Huo has already seen me, so the person behind Heavenly Teacher Meng should be Celestial Venerable Xu.'
His gaze flickered, and a soldier of the celestial heavens suddenly stopped beside him. He smiled and said, "Celestial Venerable Mu, we should have a good talk."
Qin Mu's heart stirred slightly as he looked at the soldier of the celestial heavens. That soldier was an unfamiliar face that he had never seen before.
That soldier followed him forward with a weird smile. "You have spoiled my plans time again, but you never expected me to revive, right?"
"Grand Emperor!"
Qin Mu's expression changed slightly, and he saw the soldier stop. He scratched his head in confusion and continued to patrol.
At this moment, another god of the celestial heavens who had passed by Qin Mu looked at him and said with a smile, "Celestial Venerable Mu, we aren't mortal enemies. There's no need for you to always target me."
The god walked past Qin Mu without turning back.
Qin Mu continued forward, and a goddess walked past him. She smiled at him and said, "My power is beyond your imagination!"
Qin Mu walked forward quickly. Every god that passed by him in this god city would smile at him. The Grand Emperor's consciousness was too terrifying. It could shift from one god to another at any time, always whispering beside him!
At this moment, Qin Mu saw the number one heavenly master of the celestial heavens, Shang Pinying, who was tidying up the army.
He walked forward, and Shang Pinying turned around with a strange smile. "Celestial Venerable Mu, how do you plan to compensate me?"
Qin Mu's mind was blown.
A strong practitioner of the Emperor's Throne like Shang Pinying actually had no resistance against the Grand Emperor's consciousness!
At this moment, in the entire divine city, the million soldiers and generals turned their heads to look at Qin Mu and said in unison, "Compensate me—"
