2343 Which First Deity
The bottles on the table fell to the ground and instantly shattered.
All kinds of pills rolled out, and a rich medicinal fragrance instantly spread. But at this moment, the smell only made Shu Jing feel nauseous!
This would only remind her of how hard she had tried to help Mo Shiqian refine medicine during this period of time!
She knew that Mo Shiqian went out to help the Divine Master, so after Mo Shiqian came back, she sent all kinds of goodwill.
Mo Shiqian lost his Holy Body? This was clearly because he had worked hard for the Divine Master and accidentally ended up like this.
Since things had already come to this, he had to work hard even if he didn’t want to contribute.
The Divine Master would definitely look at Mo Shiqian differently and take special care of him because of this, right? This was Shu Jing’s truest and most certain thought.
She was ranked eighth and didn’t have the advantage to begin with. Some time ago, she had provoked the Emperor. Not only did she lose control of the medicinal mountain, but she had almost lost her position as the Eighth Deity!
Of course, she needed to rope in a backer. Sixth Deity Mo Shiqian was the person she had chosen.
Although his ranking wasn’t top-notch, he was still stronger than her. Furthermore, he had destroyed his Holy Body for the Divine Master. Once he recuperated, wouldn’t he have a bright future?
The other deities all had their own abilities. They knew that she was already on the bad side of the Emperor, so why would they come to her side? Therefore, after many considerations, only the Sixth Deity was the best choice.
Even if Mo Shiqian’s personality was gloomy and suspicious, and he had spoken rudely several times, she had endured it. She only thought that when he reconstructed the Holy Body, it would be an additional help.
Later on, when she heard that the Divine Master had personally taken action, she was even more happy. This meant that Mo Shiqian’s status on the Divine Master’s side was definitely not low!
Hence, early in the morning, she began to wait excitedly.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time… Not only did Mo Shiqian fail to successfully reconstruct the Holy Body, but he also received the Emperor’s punishment!
Mo Shiqian’s position as the deity had been revoked, and he had been taken away.
Even a fool knew that only death awaited him, and all her previous thoughts were in vain!
Shu Jing was still angry. She smashed everything in the room again. From the looks of it, Mo Shiqian clearly knew that he had offended the Emperor long ago, but he had actually kept it a secret! As long as there was any chance of redemption, the Divine Master wouldn’t give up on him so easily!
At this moment, Shu Jing really hated Mo Shiqian. Although I had already kept a low profile, the deities of Fantasy Divine Hall should know that I have been helping Mo Shiqian recently. Now that Mo Shiqian is like this, I can’t guarantee that I won’t be implicated. It’s really adding insult to injury!
…
Jin Yunlai happened to pass by the door. When he heard the sounds of things falling from inside, he stopped in his tracks and shook his head. Being too clever can backfire. Shu Jing thought that everything was under control, but she didn’t know that many things had already deviated from their original path. In the end, she was the most miserable.
Mo Shiqian’s position as the deity had been removed, which proves that the Emperor’s previous warning wasn’t just for show. If Shu Jing continues like this, she will end up the same sooner or later.
But actually… My own situation isn’t much better.
Thinking of what had happened before, he clenched his fists and continued walking.
…
Chu Liuyue and the rest walked towards their residence, but after taking a few steps, a figure appeared in her peripheral vision.
She stopped in her tracks and looked over.
In the distance, under the wall of Fantasy Divine Hall, a person was kneeling—it was Mu Yafeng.
Unlike before, her clothes were a little messy now, and a few strands of her hair were loose. She kneeled there silently with her head lowered, looking very disheveled.
This was clearly not something she wanted to kneel down to.
“What happened to her?” asked Chu Liuyue.
Xiao Ran followed her gaze and clicked his tongue. “You’re talking about her? Heh, she must’ve been discovered for cheating on the Star Path! She’s been kneeling for a few days.”
“Cheating?”
“That’s right! I heard that the Seventh Deity taught her a lot in private, which caused her to break through several Xuan formations in a row previously! This matter was discovered by the First Deity. What a punishment!”
Chu Liuyue was dazed.
Previously, she did find it a little strange because she knew very well that Mu Yafeng’s talent wasn’t enough to support her in breaking those Xuan formations one after another. However, she was busy with her own matters at that time and didn’t pay much attention to it.
Unexpectedly, it was actually Jin Yunlai who helped in private?
“Seventh Deity… why would he do this?”
This was too bold.
“Who knows? In any case, not only was Mu Yafeng punished to kneel, but she was also stripped of her right to walk the Star Path. From now on, she’s not allowed to step foot on the Star Path!”
Xiao Ran laughed with a cold expression. “Now, many people suspect that her previous performance was also secretly helped by the Seventh Deity.”
With the situation so ugly, it was no wonder that everyone was thinking too much.
Except…
“If she can’t take the Star Path, doesn’t that mean that she won’t be able to enter Fantasy Divine Hall anymore?”
“That’s right! But who can she blame?” Xiao Ran shrugged. “Originally, if she had cultivated obediently and comprehended them one by one, she might have had some hope. But now, she’s the one who took things too hard and cut off all her escape routes.”
She just deserved it.
He had been trapped on the last Xuan formation for countless years. His hair was almost falling out, but he had never thought of using any other methods.
Mu Yafeng was impressive. She could make the Seventh Deity do this for her!
Chu Liuyue paused. “Then, the Seventh Deity didn’t help plead for leniency?”
“How could the Seventh Deity care about this? Now, even he has been deprived of the right to control the Star Path. By the way, you just came back and don’t know this yet.”
Chu Liuyue didn’t know what to say. I have only left for a short period of time, but so many things have already happened…
“Then, who’s in charge of Star Path now?”
“I heard that it was handed over to the Fifth Deity. However, the Fifth Deity isn’t a Xuan Master. I don’t know why the First Deity chose him… Originally, we all thought that he would choose the Eleventh deity, who is also a Xuan Master.”
Chu Liuyue’s glabella moved. “By the way, the Ninth Deity and the Tenth Deity used the Heaven Gate previously. I wonder if they’re back now?”
Xiao Ran nodded. “They came back long ago. However, these two aren’t in the Fantasy Divine Hall now but the Fantasy Divine Sea. I heard that they made some mistakes… We’re not qualified to ask, but we know a rough idea.”
“Mistake?” Chu Liuyue was stunned. Could it be because they didn’t manage to bring back the music score successfully? But at that time, the two of them had inexplicably disappeared in the God-Killing Tumulus. Unexpectedly, they were locked up in the Fantasy Divine Sea again when they returned.
She suddenly thought of something and asked, “Senior Xiao Ran, have you seen the First Deity?”
He has even seen Lan Xiao and the others before. Logically speaking, he should have some understanding of the First Deity, right?
Xiao Ran paused. “Are you asking about the previous one or the current one?”
