Revenge

“I refuse to believe that!”

Mu Yu would’ve labelled it tripe had anyone else said it.

“You can pay Mount Dustfallen a visit and verify for yourself. Are you going to try and stop me now? If my memory does me justice, Third Heaven Palace is leading Celestial Star Sect behind the scenes. Aren’t you going to avenge Elder Ku Mu?”

Xiang Nan clicked his finger, dropping a sand statue on the wall before him. The statue belonged to one of the cultivators who still had their consciousness intact.

As the sand crumbled off, Tian Budai stuck his scowling face out and brayed, “Who are you?! Celestial Star Sect won’t let this go unanswered!”

Tian Budai was still stuck in sand, leaving just his head exposed. He tried to mould spiritual energy, but it wouldn’t respond.

“Celestial Star Sect? Who gives a toss?” Xiang Nan replied.

“Are those your last words?” Mu Yu questioned, not hiding his rage.

“You touch me, and Celestial Star Sect will massacre Mu Clan!”

“Who can prove Mu Yu killed you if he kills you here, your lapdog?” Xiang Nan rhetorically asked.

Upon seeing Tian Jiancheng stepped out from a wall, Tian Budai cried, “Uncle Cheng, help me!”

Tian Jiancheng slowly lifted the corner of his lips. “You want me to save you, your fake, vicious fraud?”

“Y-you’re not Uncle Cheng! Who are you?!”

“Your Uncle Cheng. I’m just here to watch you die. Don’t worry, though. I’ll let your father know Sikong Qiwen killed you, not Mu Yu.”

“What are you talking about?!”

“You don’t deserve to live” Mu Yu stated.

Mu Yu activated an eight trigrams formation in front of him and cast a rank seven explosion pill into the vortex.

“Stop!”

Mu Yu drew Shadow Splitter Sword from the vortex.

“St-”

Like a fountain, blood sprayed as Mu Yu halved Tian Budai horizontally. Mu Yu stomped on the detestable face and said, “You should’ve been prepared for this when you killed my father.”

Mu Yu activated a formation and stomped down, splattering Tian Budai’s brains. Mu Yu then drew Wood Spirit Sword and had it absorb Tian Budai’s soul energy.

Mu Yu took a breath though his nose. There was no joy to be experienced for Ku Mu’s revenge was only just commencing.

“Tian Budai was an important pawn to my plan. I could’ve sent him back to Celestial Star Sect as my spy, and he could work as my informant for information on Third Heaven Palace once he becomes patriarch.”

“But you didn’t even bat an eye when I killed him.”

“I can’t let him live if you want to kill him. I’m your senior brother.”

“Thank you,” Mu Yu muttered with another breath.

“You still won’t help me, correct?”

Mu Yu shook his head.

“I won’t force you to join me. You went in search of a way to dismantle Nine Heaven Demon Sealing Formation to revive Elder Ku Mu even though you know Cheng Yan and Lie Shang will stop you. I’m also doing what I want.”

Mu Yu couldn’t contest Xiang Nan’s logic when he followed the same one and supported it. If anything, he felt he understood Xiang Nan’s motivation.

“You two done?!”

Ximen Buxing, Lie Shang and Cheng Yan flitted over to confront Mu Yu and Xiang Nan. For the first time in their memories, Cheng Yan appeared angry. Lie Shang had his brows together in deep thought over something. Ximen Buxing’s concern was gone, and he was back to his usual nonchalant self since the cultivators’ lives were none of his business.

“Do you really intend to make an enemy out of the entire world of cultivators, Xiang Nan?! Mu Yu, have you taken into consideration what the spirit lords will do to us if you dismantle Nine Heavens Demon Sealing Formation?! Look at Xiang Nan: is he not the perfect example to snap you out of it?!” Cheng Yan brayed.

Xiang Nan didn’t reply, while Mu Yu dodged the question, deeming it futile to explain, and inquired, “Senior Brother, is Celestial Prison really down? Is Shifu really in trouble?”

Eyes red and voice quavering, Cheng Yan answered, “it’s precisely because Shifu has met with mishap that I don’t want you two to be next!”

Mu Yu shuddered as if his body shut down.

“Even my shifu has gone missing in action,” Ximen Buxing added.

“Xiang Nan, you know we’ll do anything to stop you. If you think you can defeat Third Heaven Palace on your own, you need to drink some reality. The only thing you’ll do is get yourself killed. You think Shifu wants to see Third Heaven Palace capture you?” Lie Shang chastised.

“And how will you stop me?”

The cultivators who had been taken over started cackling.

Lie Shang manifested his fury as flames across the field of sand.

“My cultivation has surpassed all of yours put together now that I’ve fused with Hou Tu. You’re no match for me.”
