Chapter 437
Surprise, Surprise
The jaw dropper was Formation Sect’s only official Greater Heaven Stage disciple – Mu Chenghong! The bizarre things Mu Yu heard from Mu Chenghong finally clicked. In order to see Formation and Talisman Sect united as per Mu Chenghong’s words meant that Talisman Sect had to take over and absorb Formation Sect!
Luo Feilong stuttered, “S-Senior Brother Mu Chenghong?”
Keeping his sinister smirk on his face, Zhou Jinglin explained, “We did not inform you of some facts prior to today for your safety’s sake. As our operation launches next month, I now need to fill you in. With their only Greater Heaven Stage disciple being our disciple, Formation Sect’s days are numbered.”
“There’s no need to be surprised, my brothers. We are family,” reinforced Mu Chenghong.
Hearing Mu Chenghong’s reassuring declaration, the others cheered, “For Talisman Sect!”
“Furthermore, we have another spy among the nineteen Greater Heaven Stage casters,” informed Zhou Jinglin.
“Who might it be?”
“I won’t explicate his name to err on the safe side.”
“Yes, Shifu.”
The spies knelt down to salute Zhou Jinglin and then filed out of the cavern. Once just Mu Chenghong was left, Zhou Jinglin questioned, “You don’t seem happy. You have something to opine?”
Mu Chenghong looked down. “I dare not.”
“You better figure yourself out! You’re a disciple of Talisman Sect. You think Formation Sect will forgive you if you decide to quit now?” Zhou Jinglin rhetorically asked with a simpler.
“Your subject has not forgotten where he belongs. He asks you do not forgive the promise you made.” Mu Chenghong looked up at Zhou Jinglin.
“Don’t worry, I’ll restore your Greater Heaven Stage disciple status after this and allow you to return to us. Unlike them, you’re talented and ranked. Those old fools wouldn’t dare to stop you,” Zhou Jinglin responded, unable to pry anything out of Mu Chenghong’s straightforward gaze. He started walking to the entrance and halted. “Talisman Sect needs you. Don’t let us down.”
“Your subject has never let his loyalty sway.”
Mu Chenghong and Zhou Jinglin went their own way.
Mu Yu: Talisman Sect sure is pulling out all the stops. I was wrong to assume they wouldn’t send in a Greater Heaven Stage disciple. I doubt he’s going to be placed higher than Mo Ziming on the hierarchy despite his superiority. I actually liked Mu Chenghong, but I guess a formation contest is inevitable...
