Chapter 983: 112

Gewu slipped out of Wazi’s body and into the earth, only resurfacing after digging a tunnel underground. Until he was sure he had obtained unstoppable power, he wasn’t going to take any risks. Little did he know he was under Shadow Lady’s surveillance from the moment he looted Wazi to when he prowled on all fours out of sight.

Gewu was but a pawn in Sky Palace’s plan. He assumed he was a seed planted for decades for the sake of today when. In reality, he outlived his use long ago. He thought they spent decades supporting him for some grand ambition, the biggest being to rule Nanjiang.

Firstly, if Sky Palace coveted Nanjiang’s reins, they had more effective plans and better candidates to use, so there was no need to employ such a roundabout method. When they turned Gewu into their pawn, Moyan Luohou and Martial Paragon had yet to be born, much less plot their assassination.

Secondly, Gewu didn’t have the foggiest idea what sort of organisation he was dealing with and completely misunderstood his role. Their interactions were shrouded in such thick fog that he didn’t even know what he was gaining from them, yet he impulsively accepted the opportunity to try impressing them without even considering if they sought what he offered.

Save for the few simple orders Sky Palace gave him, they gave Gewu free reign to even form his private military in Nieyao, his harem, collude with bandits and retainers, and abduct infants for their blood. Understandably, he assumed their silence on the matters was a reward for his performances, driving him to run even wilder. As soon as he came to power as Great Spirit Shaman, he let his power go to his head. Giving the sovereigns of Nanjiang grief and so forth were never items on Sky Palace’s afenda. If anyone were to examine the records of the decrees they passed him and his deeds, they’d be scratching their trying to find a correlation.

From Gewu’s perspective, Feng Xue needed to be nipped in the bud. From Sky Palace’s perspective, that wasn’t the case. Sky Palace’s silence on Gewu’s actions wasn’t tacit agreement but turning a blind eye. True indifference is when you don’t feel a need to speak up. Had Gewu looked at the picture objectively, he would’ve realised he was making a lot of assumptions.

Ever since occupying Mount Wanyu, Gewu ceaselessly contemplated how to escape Sky Palace’s control whilst maintaining a cordial front for he believed he no longer needed to borrow anyone’s power. He was so blinded by his power that he forgot that the majority of his power came from Sky Palace.

Nieyao’s private military was Gewu’s child. He purchased their gear. He raised Shaman Monarch Palace’s followers. His immense wealth came from years of accumulation. All he was given was the right to raise Pangu’s sons and a manual that transformed him into a freak. Never did it dawn on him that his only role in the grand scheme was a subject to tame Pangu’s sons.

Shaman Monarch Palace was the most erudite in taming a dragon, which was the sole reason Sky Palace put Gewu on the throne. Le Kuangnu’s existence and nigh non-existent involvement in Shaman Monarch Palace proved this.

After one of Sky Palace’s heralds carried out stinky chests from Shaman Faith’s quaint palace decades ago, they and Gewu were even. Gewu just never realised how fragile his alliance with them really was thereafter.

Shadow Lady cast her Eclipse, then infiltrated a battlefield. Next came the hardest part. Once she was done moulding qi, she grabbed the big sword on the ground but was startled when it violently rattled. Purple Forbidden Enclosure Dragon Slayer was too proud to bow its head to Luo Ming, let alone someone else. In the end, she had to subdue it with her freezing internal energy.

Shadow Lady let out a pronounced exhale. She didn’t lament the difficulty of obtaining the sword as she already was learned on it. She lamented her injuries that left her with only 60% of her full power.

Needless to say, Sky Palace did their research on Mount Daluo, but they didn’t know Mount Daluo had a fourth Divine Realm martial artist. Shadow Lady genuinely didn’t see Ming Suwen’s hidden ace coming. There were no signs suggesting Ming Suwen had reached Divine Realm prior. Had Ming Suwen gone for the finish from the get-go instead of taking a slow approach, Shadow Lady might still be at 80% of her full capacity. Shadow Lady couldn’t expel or neutralise the qi Ming Suwen injected into her, causing trouble that would plague her for a good while.

Taking care of Moyan Luohou and Abels were only bonuses; they weren’t important in her primary task. Sky Palace always remained secretive. Therefore, the fact that someone second in authority only to their master coming to Nieyao could only mean that she was truly needed.

Shadow Lady followed her memories to the exterior of an ancient ground. From beginning to end, she only had one mission – subdue Pangu.
