Fiend Island Guardians (Part 1)

“Mu Yu, did the girl brainwash you? Why did you give them your jade piece?” Zhi Zhen inquired.

“Interpret it however you will,” replied Mu Yu.

“Do you realise what the consequences of your actions are?” questioned Lian Tianyou, unable to believe what transpired.

Nobody heard the conversation between Qiao Xue and Mu Yu.

Mu Yu no longer had any dead weight. Who knows who’d emerge triumphant if they fought again. He shrugged. “Well, I don’t have my jade piece anymore. Was that even a necessary question?”

“...” Lian Tianyou sighed. “What a pity. I was hoping to seek alchemy pointers from you, but it doesn’t seem I will have the chance to anymore.”

“Hey, I’m cool with you staying here to keep my company.”

“All the best to you.” Lian Tianyou decided it was time to return to Third Heaven and report back.

Mu Yu gave the remaining people a smile. “And you guys? You want to have a scrap before going home?”

Si Wusheng cracked his joints. “The fiend beasts here will take care of you in our stead.”

The others agreed with Si Wusheng. As for Gui Hongyu, she went to fetch Gui Xuanyue’s corpse. There was no point in Mu Yu pinching Gui Xuanyue’s jade piece, either. If Feng Haochen recovered his cultivation, people with grudges against him were the last of his concerns.

Mu Yu was left alone with fiend corpses and the rhythm of crashing ocean waves. He mused over why Qiao Xue entrusted her water spirit to him. Surely it wasn’t the key to activating the fiend’s teleportation formation.

The island Qiao Xue mentioned was a tiny dot from Mu Yu’s position. It would take longer than eight hours to reach it. The original plan was to fly Qiao Xue there, but the others stopped him. He joined the birds flying across the ocean. There was strong fiend qi circling the island. Only one of the fiend king’s would’ve possessed fiend qi on that scale.

“Is there another fiend king on this island? If there was, why didn’t they break out the white ape fiend king?”Updated from n0velb(i)n.c(o)/m

Xiaoshuai corrected, “This place is different to the white monkey king.”

“A different level? That’s good to hear.”

“Indeed. A girl lent it to me and mentioned it would come in useful. To be honest, I do not know what she meant.”

“Where are she and the others?” asked the astral elder.

Mu Yu solemnly explained, “Ghost Gate and Life and Death Sect ambushed them. All of them went down valiantly by the ocean.”

“They’re dead?” The elder’s mood riled up the formation. Mu Yu, therefore, stepped back a few steps to be safe. The elder fumed, “You humans killed them?”

Mu Yu retreated a few more steps. “I suppose. I am innocent, though. After I helped Qiao Xue and White Ape Fiend King escape Second Heaven, Qiao Xue sent me here.”

“I don’t trust you! Ol’ Turtle” The phantasmal elder turned around and called.

Another hunched elder walked over on air. His appearance was hazy, but he lacked the aura of death that fiend souls carried. He carried a big turtle shell on his big and walked as slow as a snail.

Speaking at a slow pace, Ol’ Turtle queried, “What is it, Boss Deer?”

“Perform a divination to see if any visitors from Third Heaven are still alive. Now!”

Ol’ Turtle took his time removing his shell and reciting some fiend scripture. He ran his hand slowly over his shell. It took a darn hour just for him to take out a pair of chopsticks. By the time he finished his divination on his fingers, another hour had past.

Mu Yu: It would’ve been faster for them to have just gone to the ocean and checked the corpses. Heavens...

Xiaoshuai: “You done yet?”

No response. Ol’ Deer monitored Mu Yu the entire time. Even the stars had came out!

Ol’ Turtle finished his recital and opened his eyes. Voice stern, he declared, “Phoenix Eagle is gone.”

“And the others?”

“Let me perform another divination.”

Mu Yu sprang to his feet. “Hold up. It takes you four hours to determine a person’s status? Where did you learn your divination skills from, a music teacher?”
