Tales of Herding Gods

”The Grand Emperor is here?”

Qin Mu was slightly stunned and smiled. ”Are you afraid that the Grand Emperor will take away the void beast mother and control all of the void beasts?”

The dragon qilin nodded repeatedly and said, ”When I was about to attack Ancestral God King’s ship fleet, I immediately escaped when I saw Ancestral God King. Unexpectedly, I felt a consciousness that was as vast as the sea of smoke chasing after me, and I almost controlled the void beast. Only then did I manage to steer it to dodge and escape from the layers of void. Only then did I shake off that consciousness.”

Qin Mu muttered to himself for a moment and asked, ”You mean you controlled the void beast to shake off that consciousness?”

The dragon qilin nodded.

”In that case, that person isn’t the Grand Emperor.”

Qin Mu pondered and said, ”The Grand Emperor’s consciousness is the strongest consciousness in history. If he wants to take back the void beast mother, not to mention you, even if Divine King Lang and I work together, we won’t be able to protect it.”

The dragon qilin was puzzled. ”That person’s consciousness was incomparably strong. When I was controlling the void beast mother, she controlled tens of thousands of void beasts and cried out together. The consciousnesses of so many void beasts added together couldn’t fight against that person and crumbled with a touch. How could such a strong consciousness not be the Grand Emperor?”

Qin Mu shook his head. ”Even if that person’s consciousness is so strong, he’s still much inferior to the Grand Emperor. Now that the Grand Emperor has already obtained a portion of the Tai Chu Origin Stone, his consciousness is so strong that even the ten Celestial Venerables’ consciousnesses combined wouldn’t be able to contend with it, let alone thousands of void beasts! I know who that person is, but I didn’t expect him to come here instead of staying in the celestial heavens.”

He revealed a strange expression.

The dragon qilin was puzzled.

”Celestial Venerable Gong and the son of Celestial Emperor Tai Chu, God Emperor Lang Xuan, have already reached the ancestral court.”

Qin Mu walked around and examined the void beast mother beside him. ”As the divine king of the masters of creation and the son of Celestial Emperor Tai Chu, God Emperor Lang Xuan’s attainments in consciousness can’t be underestimated. His motive for this trip should be for this void beast mother. After all, Lang Xuan is the oldest divine emperor and has the bloodline of Celestial Emperor. He naturally won’t be willing to be below Celestial Venerable Hao.”

He raised his head, and the eyes of the void beast mother rolled up. She bared her teeth at him, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth.

Qin Mu didn’t mind and continued, ”Celestial Venerable Hao was severely injured, so this is the best chance for God Emperor Lang Xuan! Lang Xuan’s cultivation and abilities are naturally inferior to Celestial Venerable Hao, but if he controls the void beast mother, he will control all the void beasts. This power is too terrifying!”

He said resolutely, ”With the mother beast, he is the most powerful force in this world, and only dragons can contend with him! His goal is to subdue the void beast and head to the dark side of the ancestral court to subdue the dragon! At that time, he will have the support of two great Celestial Venerables, so how would the other Celestial Venerables dare to disobey?”

The dragon qilin let out a sigh of relief and said, ”Luckily, God Emperor Lang Xuan didn’t snatch the void beast mother away…”

Qin Mu smiled. ”Dragon Pi, you have indeed grown up. You have done very well. The void beast mother is indeed very important. Since Lang Xuan has already come to the ancestral court and a huge hole has been blasted in it, it means that the void beast can leave the ancestral court. I will arrange a mission for you. Take all the void beasts and leave the ancestral court for the Great Void!”

The dragon qilin was astonished and probed, ”Cult Master, you mean you want me to lead the void beasts to fight the celestial heavens in the Great Void?”

Qin Mu nodded and said, ”With the army of void beasts, the army of the celestial heavens is no match for you! However, you have to be careful when mobilizing the void beasts. God Emperor Lang Xuan is a Celestial Venerable after all, so he’s extremely powerful. Be careful not to be detected by him.”

He walked around the void beast mother and muttered to himself for a moment before saying, ”Use the mother beast’s command to gather the void beasts in the sixteenth void. When the time comes, we will rush out together. God Emperor Lang Xuan won’t be able to react in time!”

The dragon qilin nodded and said, ”I’ll get the female beast to summon the void beasts here, and we’ll have to go to the Primordial Tree to fetch Yan’er.”

Qin Mu smiled. ”Of course.”

The dragon qilin lowered his head from his smile and looked at his claws.

”Dragon Pi has grown up.”

Qin Mu sighed ruefully and brought him out of the seventeenth void, rushing towards the hundred thousand black mountains of the black wood. In the seventeenth void, the void beast mother continuously shook the bone mountains on her body and gave off strange roars to gather the void beasts in the ancestral court.

Qin Mu and the dragon qilin had just walked out of the void when the dragon qilin’s expression suddenly changed drastically. He cried out, ”Cult Master, I can’t sense the void beast mother anymore!”

”Don’t scream.”

Qin Mu’s expression didn’t change, and he said with a smile, ”Continue to walk forward. You’ll be safe once you reach the big black wood.”

The dragon qilin was puzzled, but the smile on Qin Mu’s face didn’t fade. He said softly, ”The Grand Emperor is looking at us.”

The dragon qilin’s hair stood on end, and his heart was filled with fear.

”God Emperor Lang Xuan is the one chasing you, but the Grand Emperor is also here. God Emperor Lang Xuan’s consciousness cultivation should be above mine, but it’s slightly weaker than Divine King Lang Xuan’s. If he’s really after you, it’s impossible for you and the void beast mother to escape. The seventeenth void isn’t safe either. There’s only one possibility for you guys to escape.”

The smile on Qin Mu’s face was very bright, and he looked very pure. He said calmly, ”That means there’s an existence with a stronger consciousness that interfered with God Emperor Lang Xuan’s consciousness! Only the Grand Emperor and Divine King Lang Xuan are able to do this without alerting him. The Grand Emperor was alarmed by the dragon, so he came to the ancestral court.”

The dragon qilin was about to mobilize his consciousness to talk to him when Qin Mu said with a smile, ”Don’t use your consciousness. If you do, the Grand Emperor will notice. Now that he has the Tai Chu Origin Stone, his consciousness is unfathomable.”

The dragon qilin revealed a smile and said in a muffled voice, ”Cult Master means that the Grand Emperor has always been by my side?”

Qin Mu smiled, but his smile was a little stiff. ”He was beside us just now.”

The dragon qilin wanted to shudder, but he didn’t dare to. He whispered, ”In that case, the void beast mother…”

”He has long controlled it.”

Qin Mu couldn’t help rubbing his stiff smile and continued to smile. ”With his abilities, even if he controlled the void beast mother, you wouldn’t notice anything wrong. You still think that you are the one controlling the mother beast. And my analysis of the pros and cons wasn’t for you to hear, but for him. After the Grand Emperor controls the mother beast, he will use the mother beast to tempt God Emperor Lang Xuan. He will first severely injure this strong enemy and then subdue the dragon by himself!”

The dragon qilin was about to speak when a loud laugh suddenly rang out. ”Celestial Venerable Mu is indeed Celestial Venerable Mu. You are so perceptive! Using the mother beast to tempt Lang Xuan and severely injure him is indeed a good idea! Thank you!”

Qin Mu’s expression changed drastically, and he cried out, ”Grand Emperor? You have always been by our side?”

A consciousness stirred up a hurricane and whistled into the distance. The voice of the Grand Emperor traveled over as he chuckled. ”Even if I let you off, you still won’t be able to find me, right? Since you gave me an idea this time, I’ll spare your lives!”

The dragon qilin’s face turned ashen, and his limbs trembled. He said in a trembling voice, ”Cult Master…”

Qin Mu didn’t say a word and rushed forward with a black face. The dragon qilin trembled in fear and hurriedly followed him.

In front of him, with the black tree in sight, Qin Mu finally let out a sigh of relief. He then revealed a smile. ”If the Grand Emperor dares to touch God Emperor Lang Xuan, can Ancestral God King still sit still? Therefore, this will definitely be an outcome where both sides suffer!”

The dragon qilin was stunned, and his mouth opened wide. He stuttered, ”Cult Master, the idea you just came up with…”

”The current ancestral court no longer belongs to the Grand Emperor.”

Qin Mu said indifferently, ”If he goes to plot against Lang Xuan, he will definitely suffer a great calamity. Furthermore, Heaven Duke and Earth Count are also in this ancestral court, so how can we tolerate him?”

The dragon qilin’s mind was blown, and he said with a muffled voice, ”Cult Master, I suddenly feel that I’m still a child and not an adult. You should just call me Fatty Dragon…”
