Gui Xiuluo

“Xiaoshuai, after her!”

“On it.”

Gui Xiuluo glanced at Xiaoshuai and deemed the latter unworthy of his time, turning back to Mu Yu. Gui Xiuluo shrouded his long scythe, prompting the vengeful souls within to escape, yet restraining them. “I heard you killed Gui Xuanyue.”

“You’ll be seeing him soon.”

Mu Yu bound forward and brought Shadow Splitter Sword down in an arch.

“Don’t compare me to trash.”

Gui Xiuluo repelled the slash with his scythe again and, simultaneously, had his mist infiltrate Mu Yu’s sword. Nonetheless, Mu Yu effortlessly flicked the qi out.

Snickering as he executed Eight Deities Ghost and Fiends, ejecting dark ghoul chains from his body, four of which consisted of Spirit Severing Realm human skeletons and four of which consisted of fiend beasts. The four fiend beasts were a nine-tailed fiend python, a bloody net wolf skyscorcher scorpion and a turtle ancestor running bear, all of which were level six fiend beasts.

Mu Yu created nine Shadow Splitter Swords and stowed them into voids, vanishing as he zoomed off. As he swung waves of sword qi at the skeletons, he sent them crumbling to the ground and then combined all of the active formations into his sword to strike down Gui Xiuluo himself. Yet, Gui Xiuluo managed to easily defend Mu Yu’s attack again.

“Celestial Swords Nine Catalysts impresses, but you’ll never overcome my Eight Deities Ghosts and Fiends, kekeke.”

Gui Xiuluo pieced the eight skeletons together again and tapped Mu Yu in the centre. Mu Yu demolished the skeletons again, only for them to come back stronger each time.

Mu Yu triggered a formation above Gui Xiuluo, then cast it into the latter’s body – Divine Soul Formation. Mu Yu couldn’t hold Gui Xiuluo for long since the latter’s cultivation was superior, while the former didn’t have Formation Palace supporting him.

“What are you all here for? You want to slaughter the inhabitants again?”

“We are searching for Ghost Island?”

“Ghost Island?”

“You’re searching for it a year after Celestial Prison was removed?”

“We already sent a team there. We underestimated Ghost Island and lost a group already, which is why he decided to prepare more thoroughly before attempting to go there again. His Lordship will also join us, personally.”

“Who is ‘His Lordship’, and what is his cultivation level?”

“He is our sect’s Ascendance Realm guardian.”

You serious? If their guardian is already an Ascendance Realm guardian, what level must their patriarch be? Mu Yu wondered. “Why does your guardian have to personally head to Ghost Island?”

“There are lots of fiend souls and human souls – enough for His Lordship’s powers to ascend to the next level. There is another reason he is personally going, but he has not divulged it to anyone else.”

“Can your sect treat damage to one’s soul?”

“We can. His Lordship healed damage to his soul using a seven thousand year old dragon vine.”
