At that moment, thousands upon thousands of troops stood in neat formation, filling the camp with a solemn, murderous air.
Every gaze was fixed on the forest of karmic-fire merit steles.
After a while, Shen Mu emerged from the forest. Amid the clash of weapons and the stamping of warhorses, the Deputy Soul-Suppressing Envoy Mo Qimi galloped over and reined in at a distance, cupping his fists in greeting.
Shen Mu stopped and returned the salute.
"I did not take Mother away, so I have not put you in a difficult position, Deputy Envoy.
" "Shen Fengqing, do you know what lies beyond the pass? " the Deputy Soul-Suppressing Envoy asked solemnly.
Shen Mu shook his head. The Deputy Envoy called out, "Beyond the Jade Lock Pass are your enemies: countless gods and demons, countless great powers of Youdu!
Some came from the Celestial Court.
They possess physical bodies, divine weapons, and peerless supernatural abilities. Others are the primordial spirits of experts at the Lingxiao and Imperial Throne realms. In life, their cultivation reached Heaven and Earth; in death, they remain overlords of their domains!
Once you leave this pass, you will step into a world of blood and storm! " Shen Mu bowed. "Thank you for the warning.
" A meaningful smile appeared on the Deputy Envoy's face. "Tu Bo has looked after you, and he has looked after your mother as well.
In return, should you not do something for him? " Shen Mu said solemnly, "Where righteousness lies, one does not bend before power or consider one's own benefit.
To value death and uphold righteousness without yielding is the courage of a true gentleman.
" The Deputy Envoy's expression grew solemn. He raised his hand. "Open the pass! " The incomparably massive gates of the Youdu Jade Lock Pass creaked open. "Righteous Shen, please. " The Deputy Soul-Suppressing Envoy raised his voice. "Beat the drums! Sound the horns!
Send the righteous man on his way!
" Boom, boom, boom! The drums thundered like rolling storms. Toot, toot! The horns rang out, deep and sonorous.
Amid the drums and horns, Shen Mu walked beyond the pass. Behind him stood a forest of black steles beneath the vast, hazy glow of karmic fire.
