Chapter 1089

Ruin’s Secret

Ku Mu left Mu Yu alone to cultivate and left Revealing Cauldron to check on Archfiend Baiyuan, whom he sheltered in a closed-off teleportation formation that nobody besides Ku Mu could detect. Though Archfiend Baiyuan’s wounds had closed, he was still far from one hundred percent.

Archfiend Baiyuan opened his eyes. “I recognise you – Eternally Youthful Ku Mu. You’re the one the runt calls his dad.”

“Hmph, you almost got Mu Yu killed, and you’re not shirking off the blame.”

Archfiend Baiyuan had a face spasm. “Is he all right?”

“I promise you’ll be sealed for eternity if he isn’t.”

“Are you threatening me?”

“Informing you.”

“You son of a...” Archfiend Baiyuan told himself to sit back down after almost flipping out. “Glad he’s fine. I’m not going to pretend I wasn’t part of the reason he got hurt. You speak the same way does; it’s the kind that tugs the wrong nerves.”

“That’s none of your business.”

“Qiao Xue is my daughter, so it is my business. Speaking of which, since you’re the jerk’s dad, we’re in-laws, aren’t we?”

Despite being stumped and softening up for a moment because of the pleasant surprise, he remembered Tian Ran also liked Mu Yu and, therefore, remarked, “The relative trick doesn’t fly with me. Who Mu Yu likes is his business, not yours.”

“As far as I know, you don’t like Sword Shadow Dust Gale. Let’s see... Mu Yu also likes Sword Shadow Dust Gale’s daughter. You want to be in-laws with Sword Shadow Dust Gale? I reckon you’re making a good decision. I’m much easier to get along with compared to Sword Shadow Dust Gale.”

That got Ku Mu for a second, at least. “Both girls are decent girls. As for you two, I detest both of you. I haven’t been misled, by the way. What’s the fiend race’s plan?”

“What could we possibly be planning?”

“Mu Yu might not be aware of your race’s history, but you don’t think I’m as uneducated, do you? Though I couldn’t move about when he visited your place, you think I don’t know about the ruin’s poison?”

“Daybreak Valley’s strange illness is that? We didn’t realise it. We thought Divine Executioner wasn’t privy because we were extra careful.”

“The soul race Divine Executioner sent here is giving us enough grief as it is. You should be dedicating your resources to stopping Bai Jie instead of self-destruction. You’ll be fighting more than just Bai Jie if you keep being stupid.”

“... I will inform Qinglong. How did you work out the connection?”

“I’ve been to the other side of the ruins.”

Archfiend Baiyuan squinted until he caught on. “I get it now! Your domain counters the ruin’s poison! You really have been severely underestimated. No wonder why Sword Shadow Dust Gale holds you in such high regard. If humans could appreciate you, they’d realise they have a treasure.”

“There’s no point in you flattering in me. I don’t care for praise. You know what you have to do.”

“Do you have a way to cure the condition?”

“Yes.”

“How?”

“Just stop.”
