Chapter 985

Puppetry

“You need only seal your spiritual energy for half an hour, Ancestor. You can remove the seal once the magic kicks in,” explained Yu Mingjun.

“Immortal, just do it. We can’t wait any longer,” coquettishly urged one of the girls.

“Fine, half an hour is fine. Go wait for me on the bed. I’ll be there in a jiffy.”

Once the two girls, who would constantly look back and flirt, were gone, Tian Xingzhou pestered, “Hurry up. If I’m satisfied with this new version, I’ll reward you handsomely.”

“I guarantee its efficacy, Ancestor.” While Tian Xingzhou guided his spiritual energy to his dantian, Yu Mingjun instructed, “Relax your body, Ancestor.”

Yu Mingjun activated the talisman stuck on Tian Xingzhou’s forehead, sending the active components to the rest of the latter’s body. Mu Yu jumped out next to Tian Xingzhou and mocked, “Thanks for the opportunity, sicko.”

“Who’s there?” Tian Xingzhou, finger still at his dantian, immediately undid his seal and backed off.

Mu Yu tapped the ground with his foot, casting a sensory-proof barrier on the abode.

“Yu Mingjun, why did you bring an outsider here?!”

“Am I the outsider?” Mu Yu flashed to Tian Xingzhou’s back and secured the latter.

As a veteran, Tian Xingzhou overcame his surprise quickly to strike at Mu Yu. Unfortunately, something akin to a fire, a product of the meridian and spirit devouring herb Mu Yu added, inside him absorbed any spiritual energy he churned out, turning his dangerous punch into a pillow fist that Mu Yu did not need to try to catch and break.

“Argh! Yu Mingjun, what did you do?! I’m warning you: if you hurt me, Celestial Star Sect w-, argh!”

Mu Yu installed Divine Soul Formation in Tian Xingzhou’s forehead, smashing out Third Heaven Palace’s Divine Soul Formation. As a result of the shock, Tian Xingzhou passed out. Mu Yu indifferently threw aside Tian Xingzhou. The consequence of the clash cost Tian Xingzhou his memories, which limited his access to his arsenal of combat knowledge. Sadly, there was nothing Mu Yu could do about that.

“I don’t subscribe to the habit of explaining my abilities to the enemy,” remarked Mu Yu.

“No, Master. You instructed your subject to not reveal it.”

“What do you think of him?”

“He has a lot of potential and has gained control of the enemy inside him, so he no longer feels as cold as he did at Eastern Desert City... May your subject ask why you did not stop him at Eastern Desert City?”

“You resent me?”

“Your subject dares not. Please forgive your subject for stepping out of line.”

As Long Qingan went to kneel again, the man extended a hand to stop the former. “No need to kneel. I can’t do anything as Third Heaven Palace is no longer what it once was. If I take action, Bai Jie will find out.”

“Can Mu Yu handle it on his own?”

“... We can only watch. If he doesn’t come back, we can’t defeat Bai Jie. Mu Yu seems to have figured out how to fight Third Heaven Palace. Or rather, there is someone guiding him. I’m not sure what he has in mind. Do what you need to do, and leave him to his own devices.”

“Understood. Your subject shall take his leave.”

“... Perhaps the one Sword Shadow Dust Gale and Eternally Youthful Ku Mu chose will surprise us.”
