Chapter 215

Ghost Gate and Fiend Race

“Does it eat dog poop or something? God, its gut’s repugnant.”

“It’s a three-tail fiend dog. What else do you expect it to eat?”

“Curse this thing. Ah, found the fiend spirit.”

“Give it to me. Don’t eat it!”

Cooperation begets wealth, they say. The human and spirit beast duo had just finished taking down another fiend beast using their teamwork. They had been in the marsh for two entire days and proved their strategy was effective against over a dozen Level Four fiend beasts.

“Hurry up. I just caught the faint aura of a Level Five fiend beast. Those things are virtually Body Severing Realm cultivators. We won’t be able to outrun it.”

The three-tail fiend dog collapsed, eyes bloodshot and took its last exasperated breath. Xiaoshuai crawled out of its mouth and tossed the fiend spirit to Mu Yu. Mu Yu could clearly see the teeth marks on the fiend spirit. “I told you to give it to me, man.”

“It just accidentally touched my mouth,” fibbed Xiaoshuai, soaking wet.

“Senior Brother Xuanyue? Gui Xuanyue?” wondered Mu Yu.

“We need to collect a few fiend souls first and foremost. If His Eminence can make it to Ghost Island, we wouldn’t need to drag ourselves through all this trouble. Sword Shadow Dust Gale was just too strong, though. We’re no match for him.”

“That’s Gui Xuanyue all right. He looks different. Is he searching for another body? Where is his twin, then? Would he have already found a twin?” deliberated Mu Yu.

“That being case, we need to use Soul Searching Formation to locate the fiend race. It’ll be difficult to kill them for their fiend souls, nonetheless. I’m positive they have a means to enter Third Realm. They should lead us to the white ape fiend king if we tail them,” opined the maiden.

“Let’s find the others first. Good thing we were dropped off close to each other. Also, we need to find a secluded place to deploy the formation, or the fiend beasts might catch us. His Eminence’s Nine Walk-in Formations is also ready. We must capture the white ape fiend king”

The two took to the sky and went on their way once they ensured nobody noticed them. Mu Yu stayed hidden for a while longer before coming out of hiding. His hiding spot also had a layer of condensed snow.

Had Mu Yu not learnt of Ghost Gate’s ulterior motives, he would’ve mistaken Ghost Gate was aiming to stop the fiend race’s revival.

“Nine Walk-in Formations? They’re collecting human spirit souls for Gui Jiuming’s Nine Walk-in Formations, which is to say, this His Eminence character is Gui Jiuming?” contemplated Mu Yu. He gazed into the distance and fell into deep thought. “Where does the white ape fiend king fit into all this? How do they now it’s here? The fiend race departed from Third Continent long ago, didn’t they? Actually, how did they even get here? Their disciple died before I could pry its location from them. Is the white ape fiend king sealed here? How are Primordial Infant Realm cultivators going to subdue one of the great fiend kings?”

Scratching his head, Xiaoshuai queried, “We going to tail them?”

“Mm... No. It’s none of our business. We need to prioritise finding dark herb and nine qi soul purification flower,” answered Mu Yu, reasoning Feng Haochen could handle them as long as he could recover his cultivation. “I must say, Gui Xuanyue’s cultivation has improved drastically. He’s still ahead of me. Once I’ve found the herbs, I’ll kill him if opportunity presents itself.”
