Chapter 1384: Scapegoat Celestial Venerable
Qin Mu's face instantly turned black. It was obvious that when Mistress Yuanmu spread this news out, she placed the blame on him.
Of course, the idea was indeed from Qin Mu, so it wasn't wrong to pin it on him.
However, Qin Mu originally wanted Mistress Yuanmu to wear this sh * t basin so as not to offend Celestial Venerable Gong, Heavenly Lady Qiang, and God Emperor Lang Xuan.
He didn't expect Mistress Yuanmu to be so quick-witted and directly pin the blame on him, causing Celestial Venerable Gong to come forward to denounce him.
Qin Mu laughed loudly as his eyeballs rolled around. Celestial Venerable Gong stared at his eyeballs and sneered.
"I came up with this idea."
Qin Mu stopped laughing and said seriously, "Dao friend, if we don't set up the Beast World, do you think you can compete with Heavenly Lady Qiang? She's the Grand Emperor, so how strong is her consciousness? In the end, the primordial behemoth was controlled by the Grand Emperor, and the Grand Emperor was like a tiger that had grown wings. Why don't we open up the Beast World? Everyone can use the primordial behemoth with their own abilities. What do you think?"
Celestial Venerable Gong said indifferently, "If the Grand Emperor could control all the primordial behemoths, he wouldn't be overthrown by the ancient gods. He doesn't have such a strong consciousness. Controlling the void beasts is merely controlling the void mother beasts. If it was a primordial behemoth, he would only be able to control a batch of behemoths. Setting up the beast world would be a loss to my interests."
Qin Mu was at a loss for words. He mumbled, "Now that things have come to this, I'm afraid the other Celestial Venerables will agree to establish the beast world. There's nothing I can do."
Celestial Venerable Gong's anger suddenly turned into a smile, and he said, "I heard that Celestial Venerable Hong has a promissory note from Celestial Venerable Mu that owes Celestial Venerable Hong a favor. In that case, I would like to ask Celestial Venerable Mu to give me one as well."
Qin Mu's expression changed slightly, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'll write it." Hence, he wrote an IOU.
Celestial Venerable Gong took the IOU and stood up. "Your legs are inconvenient, so there's no need to send me off."
Qin Mu could only sit there and watch her leave.
Just as Celestial Venerable Gong left, another palace maid came and said in a panic, "Great Celestial Venerable, bad news, Heavenly Lady Qiang is here to visit!"
Qin Mu's expression changed drastically, and he said angrily, "The other Celestial Venerables didn't come to visit, but the victim came! I won't see her!"
"I'm already here!"
Heavenly Lady Qiang's angry voice came from outside, and she barged in.
Qin Mu was helpless, and he waved his hand to dismiss the palace maid. He invited Heavenly Lady Qiang to take a seat. "My legs are crippled because my cultivation went wrong..."
"You crippled Celestial Venerable Gong?"
Heavenly Lady Qiang was overjoyed and praised him. "As expected of my woman. You are quick to strike and actually crippled you before I did. Celestial Venerable Mu, I heard you suggested establishing the beast world? How bold of you!"
Qin Mu said with a straight face, "No. Mistress Yuanmu suggested to establish the beast world, it has nothing to do with me!"
Heavenly Lady Qiang sneered. "We are so close. I only need to move my consciousness to know the color of your underwear. Do you think you can hide it from me?"
"Heavenly Consort, you don't know, I never wear that."
Qin Mu was helpless and said, "Dao Brother, you are too sharp now. Once the Grand Emperor revived, you crippled Celestial Venerable Hao, severely injured Celestial Venerable Huo and Celestial Venerable Xu, and crippled Celestial Venerable Qin and Divine King Lang. In the battle of the ancestral court, you severely injured the four Celestial Venerables, Xiao, Yan, Zu, and Lang. Your limelight is too great. How can the ten Celestial Venerables tolerate you? If you obtain another primordial behemoth, your death will really come. Opening up the Beast World this time might not be a bad thing for you."
Heavenly Lady Qiang stared at him.
Qin Mu's expression didn't change. "I'm thinking for Dao brother's sake. Think about it, if there was no Beast World, Celestial Venerable Gong and God Emperor Lang Xuan would have received the greatest benefits. If they got rid of you, they would have definitely seized all the huge beasts. Why did you have to benefit others?"
Heavenly Lady Qiang laughed charmingly. "I also know the reason, but I'm unwilling to accept being tricked by you. My corporeal body is almost completely crippled because of you, but you want to stay out of it. I'm unhappy."
Qin Mu probed, "Celestial Emperor's corporeal body is still under Dao Brother's control. When I save Celestial Venerable Ling another day, Dao Brother will have this corporeal body, and your abilities will be even better than before."
"Don't even think about getting Celestial Venerable Ling out!"
Heavenly Lady Qiang sneered. "I'd rather leave the corporeal body of Celestial Emperor Tai Chu and my primordial spirit in the celestial river forever! Celestial Venerable Mu, you ruined my plans, so you have to take out real gold and silver. Don't use these useless things to fool me!"
Qin Mu pondered for a moment and said sincerely, "I extracted Celestial Venerable Hao's essence blood from his heart. Every drop of essence blood contains the imprint of a celestial palace..."
Heavenly Lady Qiang's anger turned into joy, and she said with a smile, "I gave Celestial Venerable Hao's heart to you, but I didn't expect you to refine such a good thing. Give me a portion, and I'll let this matter rest!"
Qin Mu had a pained expression. "I used Celestial Venerable Hao's celestial palace to exchange fifty percent of the Grand Prime Divine Stone from Heavenly Lady Yan..."
"Celestial Empress that wastrel, why did she give you so many Grand Primordium Origin Stones?"
Heavenly Lady Qiang was astonished and sneered. "But I won't give you anything! Give it to me!"
Qin Mu could only hand over 35 drops of Celestial Venerable Hao's blood essence. Heavenly Lady Qiang examined them carefully and kept them before leaving.
Qin Mu's face turned black, and he thought to himself, 'Luckily, I refined a lot of essence blood from Celestial Venerable Hao's heart, so I can sell it a few more times...'
"Great Celestial Venerable! God Emperor Lang Xuan seeks an audience!" The palace maid hurried over to report in a fluster.
Qin Mu was speechless from anger. He stood up and said angrily, "Girl, are you a jinx? You always come to seek revenge!"
"Celestial Venerable Mu, is visiting you a bad thing?"
God Emperor Lang Xuan's voice came from outside, and it was getting closer. Qin Mu hurriedly sat down and looked at God Emperor Lang Xuan who was walking into the main hall. He smiled and said, "My cultivation went off accidentally..."
"I've already heard about it. Celestial Venerable Mu, there's no need to say more."
God Emperor Lang Xuan sat down and said leisurely, "Cultivation went wrong, and your legs became paralyzed. Celestial Venerable Gong and Heavenly Lady Qiang came to visit. If you weren't paralyzed, they would have paralyzed you. Why don't you pretend to be paralyzed and show weakness to the enemy? Celestial Venerable Mu, your heart is very dirty."
Qin Mu coughed repeatedly to cover up the awkwardness. "Why has God Emperor come here? Could it be for the beast world as well?"
God Emperor Lang Xuan said indifferently, "It's not all about this. Celestial Venerable Mu, you're a smart person. You destroyed my Lang Xuan Divine Palace twice and threatened me time and again, but I won't hold it against you."
He waved his hand to dismiss the palace maid and said, "I planted this palace maid in your Celestial Venerable Residence, so I won't hide it from you. What benefits did you give the Grand Emperor? I want one as well. However, I won't take you for nothing. I'll tell you that apart from the back of the ancestral court, there are a few other important matters in this Heaven Alliance Meeting."
Qin Mu's expression changed slightly, and he said, "What I gave the Grand Emperor was the imprint of thirty-five celestial palaces hidden in Celestial Venerable Hao's blood essence."
God Emperor Lang Xuan's eyes lit up, and he clapped with a smile. "Looks like I didn't come for nothing!"
Qin Mu gave him a portion of the essence blood refined from Celestial Venerable Hao's heart. His gaze flickered as he asked, "What do we need to discuss in this Heaven Alliance Meeting?"
"It's not a discussion, it's just that the ten Celestial Venerables have already made a decision for you."
God Emperor Lang Xuan smiled and said unhurriedly, "Someone has to be the scapegoat. As the alliance master of the Heaven Alliance, you are naturally the best person to be the scapegoat. The meeting of the Heaven Alliance this time is to discuss the crusade against Heaven Duke! Celestial Venerable Mu, it's time for you to board the pirate ship of the ten Celestial Venerables."
