Tales of Herding Gods, Ep 6 trailer out – will Qin Mu survive the evil sect members trying to kill him?

Bilibili Video — Animation’s YouTube channel has just dropped the Tales of Herding Gods, Episode 6 trailer and, if you are caught up to the last episode, you will know it ended on a cliffhanger with protagonist Qin Mu’s life hanging in the balance.

After all, the two “righteous sect members” (aka scumbags who believe their morals are better than anyone else’s) have chased Mu into the ruins of the palace as night falls, with one of the three being killed as he didn’t make it through the barrier in time.

A second is then murdered by the skeleton of one of the palace’s goddesses, after he tries to steal the golden pearl she is holding.

That leaves two sect members left — and both of them are determined to kill Mu as soon as dawn breaks, and it is safe to leave the palace and begin fighting.

Of course, Mu won’t just let himself be murdered, which is why in the just-released Tales of Herding Gods, Episode 6 trailer we see him fighting for his life, while also cultivating even more to become stronger.

Granny Si, with her new less-wrinkled face, is also performing some spell which, I am guessing, has something to do with Mu, and some of the mythical animals may be helping as well.

Watch the Tales of Herding Gods, Episode 6 trailer below and see if you can figure out how this superb donghua’s next episode will end.
