The Duoluo sect elders eyed each other as the various peak masters began to show up on the Cloud peak one after the other.
"Sect master, what's happening? Why is the entire cultivation world declaring war against our one sect?" The Trading peak master rasped out.
The elders all glared at Ru Lianfeng. This was all his fault! What was he thinking covering up for that no good Mo Jiu? What if Mo Jiu was elder Mo's disciple? He was still trash who had not only withheld the secret dimension from everyone but also the divine level cultivation method!
BANG!
CLASH!
SCRRRRR!
The impatient cultivators outside began attacking the Duoluo sect barrier. Since Ru Lianfeng wasn't willing to show up with that bastard Jiu, they were going to go inside and drag them out. If they had to raze the entire Duoluo sect to the ground today then they would do so without hesitation!
After a while, a Duoluo sect elder appeared behind the sect gate and addressed the angry crowd. "Fellow daoists! We the Duoluo sect members honestly have nothing to do with Mo Jiu. In fact, we are also in search of him as the bastard had stolen from us."
"BAH! Why should we believe your words? Do you see us as fools?!" A cultivator shouted.
"Even if you want to put wool over our eyes, why not use high quality wool?!" A different one shouted.
Before they knew it, the Duoluo sect gates slowly opened and a figure was thrown out.
Ru Lianfeng wriggled and clenched his teeth in anger. How disgraceful that him, the Duoluo sect master, had been reduced to this state. Those bastard elders and peak masters had tied him up with immortal binding ropes and gagged his mouth for extra measure. He was so furious. How dare they?! Even as he coiled in anger, his heart lurched in regret. What was he thinking trying to cover up for Mo Jiu? He had miscalculated once more.
"There," The Duoluo sect elder continued, "To show our sincerity, we've offered up the now former sect master. He was the one who tried to drag the Duoluo sect in the mud with his confusing words. I assure you the decision had nothing to do with us. You're free to handle him however you please."
The sect gates closed up and the elder walked away in anger. They hadn't planned on giving Ru Lianfeng up until they had discovered from a bunch of disciples that Mo Jiu had been responsible for emptying out the sect's coffers.
Ru Lianfeng had been asked to provide the jade key and when he suddenly couldn't find it, they were sure that the sect master had somehow colluded with Mo Jiu all for the sake of the secret dimension.
The elders and peak masters were furious. All their treasures were gone, how could they stand it?
Anyways, another sect master could be appointed. Elder Mo was looking like a really good option now. He was the strongest and was a man full of insight. He was perfect. They just had to wait for him to come out of seclusion and explain things to him.
He might be mad at their decision at first but he wasn't stupid so he would see reasons and know that they had no choice.
Sometime after, the angry crowd of cultivators cleared up with the Bureau taking Ru Lianfeng with them. A selected few had been taken into the Duoluo sect to search and prove that the sect was really not hiding Mo Jiu so they had eased up their pressure and left in satisfaction. Now they only had to focus on finding Mo Jiu.
A lot were even more satisfied with the arrangement. With Mo Jiu out of the Duoluo sect, they could comfortably sneak up on him and claim the secret dimension for themselves. That way, they wouldn't have to share it with the other cultivators and no one would be aware.
Three days later, Gu Long arrived at the Duoluo sect mountain. The search for Mo Jiu was still in full swing but he didn't care. He had neither seen nor heard from Mo Sheng but he had talked to some of the cultivators who had gone into the secret dimension and they had claimed to see Mo Sheng in the forest close to the dimension portal.
That was the only thing that gave him hope and he had immediately began his journey back to the Duoluo sect. Unlike the sect masters and elders from all over, regular disciples didn't have access to the teleportation array so he had to take the longer route back to the sect.
Back at the sect, everywhere was strangely silent. Even when there were disciples walking about, it was as though they were all making a conscious effort to stay silent. Gu Long ignored the odd situation and rushed over to Mo Sheng's courtyard on the Converging peak.
Mo Sheng was focused on the fish swimming around the little pond in his courtyard. Even three days later, he still felt surreal. He could not believe that he was alive. He had opened his eyes three days ago after a really long night of strange fever with memories that seemed familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.
Next, he broke down in tears before rushing over to Mo Jiu's courtyard and breaking the door down. It was at that point that he settled down to completely comprehend the memories in his head.
To think that Mo Jiu was practicing an evil cultivation method. Mo Sheng had wanted to cough up blood from the intense anger he'd felt at that moment. He was innocent and yet Mo Jiu had dared to falsely accuse him of something that the bastard had been guilty of!
It was a good thing that bastard shidi of his had gone into hiding else he would have killed him himself!
"..Mo Sheng?"
Mo Sheng stiffened at the voice. He recognized that voice clearly. The voice of the man he'd longed for years, throughout his past life. A lot of people had no idea that he had harassed Mo Jiu, not because he cared about his betrothed cuckolding him with his shidi but because he had been jealous.
Jealous of the attention Gu Long gave Mo Jiu.
Mo Sheng slowly turned around with a reserved smile and Gu Long's shoulders finally relaxed. "Mo Sheng~" He said slowly as he walked over to stare up at the taller man. Words couldn't express the amount of relief he felt but as he stood before Mo Sheng, he also felt sad. Why did Mo Sheng hide from him? Did he do something wrong?
Mo Sheng stared as self doubt filled Gu Long's eyes and his eyes softened. He whispered, "You didn't do anything wrong. I was injured and needed to recuperate."
Gu Long let out a breath of relief and a blooming smile spread across his lips. "Good." Then his expression turned sly. "You remember your promise?"
Mo Sheng blushed. It hadn't actually been his promise per say but looking at Gu Long's shining eyes, he couldn't afford to refuse the smaller man. His body slowly morphed and his robes fell off as his demon form was revealed.
Mo Sheng could clearly remember the surprise he'd felt when he realized he had a demon form. This did not happen in his past life so he was sure it was all due to the hard work of the entity that had possessed his body.
Whether or not Mo Sheng would have been able to awaken the demon form later in his life if he had lived long in his past life, no one knew but he was so thankful to the entity, especially when he took in Gu Long's heated gaze. He blushed again.
Gu Long gulped. "You're so handsome~" He said before realizing and the eyes of both men widened at the same time. Gu Long lowered his head with face as red as blood whilst Mo Sheng was thankful for his blue skin. His blush wasn't so obvious.
Mo Sheng stood frozen as Gu Long slowly walked around him. He was about to speak up when a rush of pleasure shot straight to his brain. He quickly recoiled.
Gu Long had stroked Mo Sheng's tail out of fascination. His eyes widened when Mo Sheng retracted his tail at the speed of light. He hurriedly walked over to stand in front of the taller man. "What happened? Did I hurt you? I had no idea."
Mo Sheng lowered his head in embarrassment. He couldn't possibly tell Gu Long that it didn't hurt. Not even close. He opened and closed his mouth a few times before finally closing them. He didn't know what to say. He was also just finding out that his tail was one of his erogenous zones.
"Mo Sheng?" Gu Long asked softly.
"It's nothing. I... Uh... Have a few things to grab in town. Do you... perhaps... Want to come with me?" Mo Sheng asked instead.
Gu Long smiled. "Did you even have to ask? Of course." Mo Sheng redressed himself and then both men walked away.
Mei Hua, Ba Duo and Han Wei had joined the search for Mo Jiu. They were so confused. What had happened? How had their boss Jiu ended up in this situation? It was a great thing if he absorbed the inheritance, they were already expecting it, but now they were hearing that Mo Jiu had refused to give others access to it. Why?
That wasn't the thing that even made them uneasy, it was the fact that Mo Jiu had supposedly killed two harmless cultivators to get a dimension pass.
They were so confused. Even if Mo Jiu had killed other cultivators before. It was because they had come for his life first... Right? So what was this? They were righteous cultivators not evil cultivators, they didn't go about killing others as a hobby!
"AAAAHHH!"
The three were still lost in thought when they heard the scream. They quickly exchanged looks before rushing towards the source. What they witnessed in that moment marred their minds and forever changed their view of Mo Jiu.
Mo Jiu had been living on the run for days, his cultivation had increasingly become unstable to the point that he couldn't even create a simple cleansing spell. A qi deviation was not far off so he had sealed more than half of his meridians in order to keep himself from dying.
This was the heavens doing. He was sure. As someone who was destined to go against the Dao, this was heavens punishment but who was he? He wasn't going to let that stop him! He was still going to search for the five people that had been present in the sacred room with him back then and he was going to find out who had framed him.
Or did they all collude together? If Mo Sheng was capable of convincing his second-in-command to turn against him and put him in this state, who could he not convince?
Mo Jiu had run into a lot of cultivators but with the help of his spirit beasts and stolen treasures, he had managed to stay alive. He just needed to hang on until he got his inheritance. Then, he wouldn't have to hide anymore. They would all bow to him! He would kill them all!
He had just finished killing off some more cultivators when he decided to take a break up in a flourishing spirit tree.
Mu Qingqing was on the run. Shen Hei had found out about the death of his precious daughter and had sent the entire Tianmo sect after her. He had even placed a bounty over her head. She was terrified.
Absolutely terrified and the more days she spent on the run without finding Mo Jiu, the more terrified she became. She ended up in an unfamiliar forest but didn't stop running. A lot of spirit beasts had attacked her but she had the Azure snake and had been able to survive fairly well.
That was until she got to a different part of the forest. It was eerily silent. Not a single call of a spirit beast was heard. On a normal day, she would have been hyper alert due to this fact but on this day, she was tired.
Even the Azure snake was horribly wounded and she had run out of healing pills. Mu Qingqing had just closed her eyes to rest under a spirit tree when a light landing sound was heard and Mo Jiu suddenly appeared before her.
Mu Qingqing's eyes widened in happiness. "Jiu-gege!" And then she rushed forward to hug him. Before she could succeed, she felt a hand clutching at her throat.
Mo Jiu sneered at Mu Qingqing, whose face was covered in tears, snort and blood with an unsightly gash down the middle. His face twisted in disgust and he clutched her throat harder. "Just look at you. Daring to scheme against me with such a disgusting appearance."
Mu Qingqing held the hand clutching her throat. She couldn't believe it. How could this be her Jiu-gege? When did she scheme against him and how could he say such a thing about her appearance? It wasn't her fault and what did it matter anyways? Wasn't he supposed to be in love with her?
"Where is the inheritance?" Mo Jiu questioned with a crazed look in his eyes. "Who has it?!"
Mu Qingqing desperately scratched Mo Jiu's hands with her nails. She tried to summon up some of her spiritual power but all the fighting she'd done on the way had drained her. She was out of juice. More tears spilled from her eyes as fear settled in her heart.
Mo Jiu roared in anger and threw Mu Qingqing against a spirit tree.
BANG!
Mu Qingqing broke through the spirit tree and landed on a huge boulder. She slowly slid to the ground as she tried to gather air into her lungs.
Her eyes shook as Mo Jiu walked over. What did she do? "Ji- Jiuu-gege, I don't know about the inheritance. Weren't you the one who absorbed it? Why are you-" She suddenly paused as she finally took in Mo Jiu's appearance clearly. His lower half was soaked through and a weird smell was wafting off of him. She wasn't able to keep the disgust from her face even as her eyes shook in fear.
Mo Jiu noted the disgust on Mu Qingqing's face and he became even angrier. She dared to disdain him even when she looked like that? Even after she had stolen his inheritance? How dare she? Since she claimed to have no idea about the inheritance, he would quickly handle her and go after the others.
"AAAAHHH!"
Mu Qingqing screamed as Mo Jiu plunged a dagger into her stomach.
Mo Jiu suddenly paused before the second strike landed and looked down at his lower half. He had sealed his lower meridians to block the pain but he was still erect. What if the became intimate with Mu Qingqing like this, would his problem go away? He decided to try it.
Mu Qingqing was busy twisting and turning in pain when she suddenly felt Mo Jiu tear off her clothes and plunge his meat stick into her.
"AAAAAHHH!"
She screamed again but Mo Jiu didn't stop. He went on and on and forty minutes later, he realized there was no change. He decided to unseal his meridians so he could absorb Mu Qingqing's life essence but as soon as her did,
"ARGH!" Mo Jiu screamed and quickly sealed his lower meridians once more. His groin was still as painful as ever, even worse. He looked down on Mu Qingqing in anger. If only she hadn't colluded with the others to take the inheritance from him. He would have absorbed the inheritance and this problem of his would have been a thing of the past. It was all her fault!
SLASH!
"AAAAHHH!"
Mo Jiu brought the dagger down on Mu Qingqing's throat and the female cultivator let out her last scream before Mo Jiu repeatedly plunged the dagger into her throat, effectively killing her off.
Once Mu Qingqing was bloody all over, Mo Jiu stood up from her dead body, pulling his manhood out in the process with a sneer. Looking at Mu Qingqing's dead body, he spat in disgust. How could he have ever been intimate with this thing?
Mo Jiu turned around and his eyes widened slightly when he came face to face with the horrified eyes of his three subordinates.
