Tales of Herding Gods

Qin Mu unleashed his divine treasure realm and was once again shaken into a huge eyeball. He grew legs and started running. He ran from Youdu into the Land of the Great Void and towards the opening of the city wall.

Jiushang Yin followed closely behind and threw out the Reincarnation Bell. The huge bell spun and blocked the opening of the city wall with a clang!

“Hahahaha—”

Laughter came from the huge eyeball, and it went straight for the huge bell. Soon, it grew into a complete Qin Mu. He opened his arms to hug the Reincarnation Bell, but a shadow flashed, and the headless body of Jiushang Yin had already landed on the bell nose. His clothes fluttered in the wind.

“Celestial Venerable Mu, you can’t escape…”

Just as the voice in the bell reached this point, a white jade-like palm suddenly pressed down and smacked Jiushang Yin into a pile of mud.

That white jade palm flicked the flesh on the nose of the bell and lifted it gently.

Qin Mu stopped and let out a sigh of relief. He tidied his clothes and said with a smile, “Heavenly Teacher, you are finally willing to make a move.”

The owner of the white jade palm was Bai Yujing. She picked up the Reincarnation Bell with one hand and shook it gently. The clone of Son of Heaven Yin in the bell had already been killed by her, and the Reincarnation Bell turned into a small bell.

Bai Yujing put away the Reincarnation Bell and looked at Qin Mu with a hint of alertness. She said softly, “What kind of demon is so daring to chase after Celestial Venerable Mu? Luckily, Celestial Venerable is fine, otherwise, Yujing would have committed a grave crime.”

Qin Mu laughed loudly and walked into the god city from the broken wall. He said leisurely, “There are many rebels in the Great Void. Maybe some rebels know that I, Celestial Venerable Mu, am here to assist the celestial heavens in battle, so they laid in ambush to kill me. I was thinking that I didn’t alert anyone when I came to the Great Void, but these rebels know my location…”

......

Killing intent flashed in his eyes. “Who leaked the news?”

Bai Yujing understood and said with a smile, “Luckily, the heavens help the worthy, Celestial Venerable. There are no injuries.”

Qin Mu said with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “It’s not necessarily true that the heavens will favor the good. In this Great Void, even Heaven Duke and Earth Count can’t come here, so where did the heavens come from?”

Bai Yujing knew that he was implying something.

Bai Yujing had already recognized Qin Mu and the Reincarnation Bell. She knew that it was Son of Heaven Yin who was controlling the Reincarnation Bell, but she didn’t make a move. She still hoped that Son of Heaven Yin could kill Qin Mu.

She was the reincarnation of South Deity Zhu Que, but she didn’t want to become South Deity.

She believed that after she becomes South Deity Zhu Que, Bai Yujing would die.

On the other hand, Qin Mu knew her true identity. He also had methods to revive her South Deity’s soul and awaken all her previous lives. At that time, she would die and South Deity would be reborn.

Even though she admired Qin Mu and was grateful to him for helping her when she was still Que Feiyin, no matter how much she appreciated him, it wasn’t as important as her own life.

That was why she wanted to borrow Son of Heaven Yin’s hand to get rid of Qin Mu before seizing his Reincarnation Bell.

However, it was obvious that Qin Mu had seen through her plan, which was why he had purposely lured Son of Heaven Yin to attack the god city and break the city walls. If Qin Mu and Jiushang Yin had brought the Reincarnation Bell into the city, the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Western Sect Army would have suffered heavy casualties!

It was also because of this that Bai Yujing, who was one of the four great heavenly teachers of the celestial heavens and the commander of the Western Sect Army, had no choice but to suppress the Reincarnation Bell.

This was a very short battle of wits. Others didn’t know, but Qin Mu and Bai Yujing both knew.

With their level of intelligence, they didn’t need to be explicit to know what the other party was thinking and doing.

Bai Yujing invited him into the city and smoothed out her sideburns. This woman still liked to be dressed in white, very plain, and very elegant. She said, “Isn’t Celestial Venerable Mu afraid of death? You have many enemies. Some of them aren’t your enemies, but killing you will be very beneficial to them. They will also lay their hands on you for benefits.”

Qin Mu looked into the distance in a daze and said in disappointment and frustration, “I have no choice but to take risks for my country. I also know that the Land of the Great Void is a barbaric place. Those rebels want to get rid of me…”

Bai Yujing rolled her eyes at him and said plainly, “Celestial Venerable Mu, there’s no need to be so cautious in front of me. I understand your intentions, and I’ve seen what you’ve done. Why are you putting on an act?”

Qin Mu laughed and said, “In that case, I’ll be straightforward.”

His smile vanished. “Who dares to kill me in the celestial heavens?”

Bai Yujing looked at him with a smile that was not a smile. “If I didn’t make a move just now, would you have been able to escape from Son of Heaven Yin?”

“If you don’t make a move, your Western Sect and all the soldiers in this city will die.”

Qin Mu’s face sank, and he said calmly, “No matter what, you have to make a move. Que Feiyin, I can understand that you are doing this for your life, but I also need South Deity, and I hope you can understand. I can understand you, and I hope you can understand me.”

Bai Yujing raised her eyebrows but didn’t say anything.

Qin Mu felt a hint of killing intent from her body and continued, “The world has a perfect dual technique? However, I happen to have a perfect dao technique and divine art that can perfectly solve the problem between you and South Deity. I have a technique that can transform the black soul sand into three souls and seven spirits. You just need to extract the soul from your soul and give it to me. I will transform that soul into South Deity and use spells to patch your soul. What do you think?”

Bai Yujing fell silent.

Qin Mu’s words did give her some things, but a large portion of her achievements were on her primordial spirit. The strongest soul in the primordial spirit belonged to the three souls.

If she drew out her soul, even if a new soul was born, she probably wouldn’t be able to cultivate to her peak state.

Furthermore, in her heart, she didn’t trust Qin Mu.

She always felt that Qin Mu would take the chance to kill her so that she could reincarnate and awaken South Deity’s memory.

Qin Mu said sincerely, “Que Feiyin, you are the reincarnation of South Deity, and you only reincarnated time again because of Son of Heaven Yin’s scheme. If I hadn’t given you that jade pendant, you would have long become a fool because of the confusion in your womb. Not to mention becoming the current Bai Yujing, even divine arts practitioners would find it hard to do so. I also have a method that doesn’t require you to die once. I can just break Son of Heaven Yin’s reincarnation divine art and awaken the vermillion bird soul in your body. However, I don’t want Bai Yujing to die just like that, so I found such a method.”

He stopped and looked straight at Bai Yujing. He said solemnly, “If you can’t even accept this offer, I have nothing to say.”

Bai Yujing felt the faint killing intent coming from him.

Earlier, Bai Yujing had revealed her killing intent to show her determination, and now Qin Mu was showing it to show his determination.

If she didn’t agree, Qin Mu would immediately make a move and break apart Son of Heaven Yin’s divine art that was binding her soul, awakening South Deity’s soul and restoring all her memories!

Bai Yujing hesitated for a moment and was about to agree when a heavy voice suddenly rang out. “Yujing, the soul in your body is South Deity’s soul. Son of Heaven Yin had reported this to me before. It wasn’t easy for me to kill South Deity Zhu Que, so I won’t allow South Deity to revive.”

Bai Yujing’s body trembled slightly, and she bowed. “Greetings, Celestial Venerable Huo!”

Qin Mu turned around and saw Celestial Venerable Huo’s incomparably bright eyes!
