Chapter 200
Pill Cauldron Sect’s Outsider
“Let go of me!”
Mu Yu couldn’t break free of Shi Dengtian’s grasp. With Ku Mu out of the picture, Mu Yu didn’t see any reason to respect them.
“Insolence!” Shi Dengtian taught Mu Yu to watch his mouth physically.
“Stop!” demanded Elder Leng, splitting the two off from each other.
Shi Dengtian continued to pressure Mu Yu with his energy, causing Mu Yu to have gait issues.
“The pill is our treasure. It should be reserved for those who contribute to the clan, not to a cripple on the brink of death,” stated Shi Dengtian.
“Treasure? They’re the sect’s treasures?” Mu Yu hostilely asked.
“Our seniors conjured them. That’s not enough to qualify them as treasures?”
“I finished the pill. Did you take care of it as you would a treasure before I completed it? You treasured it so much that you let me just take it?”
“You should be honoured you completed it. An outsider has no right to defile Pill Cauldron Sect’s treasures. You should be grateful we didn’t incarcerate you.”
“Do you all agree with him? Do you all consider me an outsider?” Mu Yu inquired, voice frigid.
“Mu Yu, you already have a shifu, so you can’t be one of us. You are not one of us,” answered Daoist Yun Dan, frowning.
“What about Ku Mu? Isn’t he one of you? Aren’t you going to help him?”Thi/s chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.co/m
“Of course we will. In saying that, whether or not we use the precious reversal pill to save him or not is not for you to decide,” justified Shi Dengtian.
“In other words, you plan to use it for yourselves? Will it be you, Shi Dengtian?” Mu Yu sarcastically questioned, snickering.
“Wait,” called Elder Lan.
“Now what?” Mu Yu asked, vigilant this time.
“I might have handled the conversation with Ku Mu inappropriately...”
“Only ‘might have’?”
“He’s lucky to have you as a disciple.”
“You’ve never been more right today. I’m the compensation he was bestowed since his martial uncle is such a piece of work. That’s why I’m determined to be his best disciple.”
“Birds of the same feather really do flock together!” fumed Elder Leng.
“Patriarch, we have trouble,” Captain Liu reported as he descended and saluted everyone.
Daoist Yun Dan: “What happened?”
“Pill Mausoleum...”
Elder Leng: “What happened at Pill Mausoleum? Who would have the audacity to desecrate our predecessor’s resting place?”
“I do not know. A lightning bolt shattered a tomb. By the time we arrived, we could not find the source or anyone suspicious.”
“Whose tomb?” asked Daoist Yun Dan.
“Reverend Jiu Yang.”
“Who? Have I heard that somewhere?” wondered Mu Yu. He mused, “Oh, he’s the inventor of reversal pill. Why was there so many lightning strikes in bright daylight? They have too much free time on their hands up there or something?”
“Could it have been the lightning tribulation?” proposed Elder Leng.
Whether Reverend Jiu Yang felt completing his incomplete project was worth trading his tomb for would forever remain a question lacking a definitive answer. Why not take the optimistic route, though? Either way, Mu Yu was more concerned about saving Ku Mu.
