Chapter 1141

Start from the Heart

“Nobody can control two domains!” Gu Yinsheng impugned.

“I’m starting to question if Lord Divine Executioner told you anything about Sword Shadow Dust Gale,” Bai Jie scoffed.

“Sword Shadow Dust Gale is an outlier. As if his disciple is in the same league.”

“Indeed, his disciples have the spirit lords’ abilities and control the spirit lords’ domains. Mu Yu, however, also is the owner of a dao artefact. I suggest you show some respect for his abilities if you don’t want to perish.”

“Why didn’t you kill him if he’s such a threat?” a winged-race member questioned.

“Do you think Sword Shadow Dust Gale was just decoration while he was here?” Bai Jie’s black eyes impelled the questioner to look down right away.

Shi Xiuluo fumed, “If we want to win against Life and Death in the Blink of an Eye, that means we have to butcher everyone twice, or he will revive them! His ability to imbue his sword with it makes it even more troublesome.”

Bai Jie’s only concern was what Mu Yu’s domain ability was. Twirling around soul energy on his finger tip, a wry smile spread across Bai Jie’s lips. “That’s not a concern if we destroy their soul. We never let human souls escape.”

“Are we just going to watch them grow stronger in Revealing Cauldron and Formation Palace?”

Bai Jie casually got to his feet. “That isn’t a concern, either. Lord Divine Executioner has taught me how to deal with them. Mankind’s last two lines of defence will soon be no more. A tortoise hiding in its shell can’t change its destiny.”

In spite of Ku Mu passing on all the intricacies of Dead Zone to Mu Yu, the latter believed something was missing since he could not proceed with his idea. While Mu Yu was fiddling around with Reflection Compass during his thinking, a light transferred from the compass to his body, put sparkles in his eyes.

“I told you it wouldn’t work,” Ku Mu remarked.

Mu Yu’s eyes wandered back and forth between the text in Formation Palace as well as Reflection Compass. “I need to go on a trip.”

“Where to.”

“... Do you resent me for the decision?”

“Of course not. It’s impossible for you to liberate every city. Trying to free cities would likely result in you waltzing into an ambush. I trust your judgement because you never do pointless things.”

Mu Yu bobbed his head.

The original residents of Moyun Mountains were totally oblivious as to why so many people suddenly set up refugee camps in at Hundred Thousand Mountains. It was just another year to them. The cattle were still in the field. Kids dozed off under trees. The adults toiled away. Magpies provided background music.

“Ol’ Wang, your rice crops are blessing you this year.”

“Oh yeah, this is going to be year of abundance for us. We won’t have to worry about finances once the harvest season walks in, hahaha.”

Upon seeing and hearing Village Chief Bu calling out to them, the villagers stopped what they were doing to welcome him and Mu Yu back.

“Immortal Master Mu Yu!” cheered Mrs. Wang.

“Grandpa Village Chief and Brother Mu Yu are back!” enthused the children.

“Hey, hey, Brother Mu Yu, being an immortal master must be nice, huh?” Two year old Tieniu tugged Mu Yu’s hand and asked.

“Brother Mu Yu, did you pulverise the elemental demons?” The three year old girl bounced up and down.

Is it really so nice? Is defeating elemental demons all we’re good for? Mu Yu brooded to himself.

Sensing the darkness looming over Mu Yu, Village Chief Bu urged, “Haha, slow down. Slow down. We’re going to be staying for some time, so let me clean up our house before I answer your questions, okay?”

“Hey, hey, everyone help out!” Mrs. Wang hollered, spurring everyone into action.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a collected and happy group of people,” Mu Yu muttered under his breath as joy came to his lips.
