Chapter 1511 — Nine Honored Lords Save the Youth
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 3
The Blind Elder could not help but grow frantic with worry. Then Tai Yi set down his water pipe and went on: "The nine Heavenly Lords have already entered the city.
I can no longer see them.
" The Blind Elder clenched his fists. The Silent Artisan was still urging him on, and the Blind Elder said angrily, "Wait a while longer!
" Just then, from the direction of the Jade Capital of the Ancestral Court came wave upon wave of terrifying throbbing.
The Blind Elder's heart leaped with joy, and he stared at Tai Yi with eager eyes.
Tai Yi said, "You need not look at me.
I cannot see what goes on inside the Jade Capital either. " The Blind Elder, still refusing to give up hope, kept his gaze fixed on him, waiting for him to speak of the battle. In the Jade Capital of the Ancestral Court, seven Heavenly Lords arrived together and joined Lord Huo and Lord Xu outside the city.
Lord Huo and Lord Xu had come somewhat earlier.
They had no intention of entering the city first — after all, the appearance of the Jade Capital had stirred up far too great a commotion, and the sight of it filled even them with a certain dread.
It was dread of the unknown.
Faced with the unknown, even Heavenly Lords felt a measure of fear.
And so Lord Huo and Lord Xu had kept watch outside the city all this while, quietly awaiting the other Heavenly Lords.
"Lord Mu has never come out of there. " Lord Huo said to Lord Hao and the others, "He broke the seal of the Pixiang Hall, and has remained in this city ever since.
" "The seal of the Pixiang Hall is the seal of nearly every mighty one from ancient times to the present, and it includes the seals of us ten Heavenly Lords.
With his abilities alone, he could not have broken it. " Lord Hao said unhurriedly, "He must have borrowed outside power to break it. " He surveyed this ancient, weathered divine city and said mildly, "In other words, there is something in this city of terrible power, something that can break the seals of us ten Heavenly Lords — something that could even break the seals of the Heavenly Emperor and the Grand Emperor!
" Consort Yan, Consort Qiang, Shi Qiluo, and Lord Gong felt their hearts turn cold. If it could break their seals, then the power Shen Mu had borrowed was likely no weaker than their own — perhaps even stronger!
The other Heavenly Lords did not know the horrors of this place, but Consort Yan, Consort Qiang, Shi Qiluo, and Lord Gong had been here before, and their memories of it were fresh. Lord Hao said, "The Pixiang Hall must not be lost!
Whatever is imprisoned in that hall must never be allowed to escape. " Lord Huo thought of Lord Yu and Emperor Ming, and nodded hurriedly: "They must never be allowed to escape!
" Consort Yan, Consort Qiang, Shi Qiluo, and Lord Gong also recalled the painting in the hall and the figure within it, and their hearts shook violently.
They said in low voices, "He must not be released! " The Ancestral God King and Lord Gong followed Lord Hao's lead in all things; Lord Xu and the Divine Emperor Langxuan had no choice but to follow as well.
The nine Heavenly Lords, together with the Ancient God Taiji, walked toward the city. The eyes of the two ancient gods rested all the while on what lay behind Lord Hao.
Others could not see Tai Su behind Lord Hao, but they could see Tai Su's true form. "This place is indeed somewhat uncanny.
That Lord Mu could find such a place — his abilities are truly extraordinary. " The Dao Fruit at the back of the Divine Emperor Langxuan's head revolved, and he could not help but exclaim in admiration.
When Lord Hao heard him mention Shen Mu, he felt rather displeased, and at once quickened his pace.
