Chapter 958
<strong><em>An Immortal Master Kneels Before Vige Chief Bu – Machination</em></strong>
“What’s up, Mu Yu? You worried about how to exin yourself to Gramps Conartist?” Xiaoshuai asked once they arrived outside Waterstream Vige.
“Yeah, I promised to be a cultivator who defends justice, but I’ve killed countless cultivators instead of elemental demons.”
“You have to face yourself sooner orter. Let’s get moving. Personally, I quite like the old geezer.”
Mu Yu dawdled for a while prior to sneaking into Waterstream Vige.
“Gramps Conartist must be telling the kids all about my epic battles. Let’s hurry to Sunny Valley,” energetically suggested Xaoshuai, since they didn’t find Vige Chief Bu at home.
Instead of finding Vige Chief Bu, they heard a group of kids whispering between each other, rendering Mu Yu uneasy. Mu Yu, therefore, ced his hand on the ground, narrowing his eyes as an eight trigrams diagram and formation lines surfaced on the ground.
“Where is Gramps Conartist?”
“He’s not in the valley,” Mu Yu answered in a deep voice.“Did you see that? I can’t believe so many immortal masters knelt to Gramps.”
“I really want to see Mu Yu.”
“If only we were old enough to join him in the fight against elemental demons.”
Xiaoshuai ran over to the boys who did not appear much older than Xiaoshuai in human form. “Hey, what’s this about immortal masters kneeling to Vige Chief?”
“Who are you? We’ve never seen you before.”
“I’m Vige Chief’s fan. I came here to grab an autograph. Where is he?”
“A group of immortal masters took him.”
“Where to?”
“Don’t know. We only heard them mention Mu Yu, elemental demons and something Gramps needed to do and then he went with them.”
Mu Yu shed over. “Where did they take him?”
“Who are you?”
“That’s not important. Tell me where they took him now. Give me the details.”
Once he heard what the kids had to say, Mu Yu asked, “Where did they go?”
“Up to the sky, of course.”
“Xiaoshuai, let’s roll,”manded Mu Yu, realising that was the extent of detail he would get.
“Whoa, he’s an immortal master?!” eximed a kid, watching Mu Yu levitate with Xiaoshuai.
After doing ap, Mu Yu noted, “There are signs pointing to several cultivators having been here based on the formation fluctuations over the top of the vige.”
“Didn’t you set things up to stop him leaving during yourst visit?”
“I sneaked in to cast a formation on him and a protective barrier on the vigest time. I didn’t reveal myself to him.”
“Didn’t it ur to you that he’d be in danger if he left the vige?”
“He typically doesn’t leave the vige. At most, he visits Pine City’s academy. The formation I cast on him protects him up to there, so he’s safe as long as he’s within the circumference of my formation. As a matter of fact, nobody can take him against his will within the formation. Shifu cast a formation on him before that to keep Third Heaven Pce out of this zone. Howbeit, Shifu’s formation isn’t set to trigger if it’s someone from the eight great sects.”
“Not even Bai Jie?”
“Not even Bai Jie. Aside from a lightning skill protecting him Shifu also cast a formation on him prior to Celestial Prison wearing off. Shifu’s formation, which uses natural energy, allows cultivators into Waterstream Valley, but nobody can take him out. Since Shifu can’t constantly maintain the formation, it can’t have an offensiveponent, but the defensiveponent is active for as long as Vige Chief Bu is in the formation’s vicinity.”
“How did they take him away, then?”
“The formation isn’t perfect. The one under protection can suppress the formation. If I’m to venture a guess, I bet they lied to Vige Chief and then implemented something to sever his link to the formation. We need to stop them now!”
Little did Mu Yu realise that the hundreds of cultivators had already led Vige Chief Bu far out of the formation’s protection zone.
***
Vige Chief Bu feared for his life the entire flight for he could not see anything but darkness until an irritating light hit his retinas upon arriving at a in. When he thought they had arrived at their destination, the middle-aged man shoved Vige Chief Bu behind him.
“Hehe, time for you to die old man!”
A few strange voices rang out from ahead. The vige head peeked from behind the middle-aged man’s shoulder. He wanted to see just who was bold enough to oppose several hundred immortal masters. Lo and behold, he almost ended up wetting his pants! It was the elemental demons!
“Get them. We have to protect the elder!”manded the middle-aged immortal master, whipping his hand to signal for the charge.
The middle-aged man waved his hand and the immortal masters behind him charged. The vige head watched everything unfold withoutprehended a thing. He hopelessly clung to the immortal master’s shirt, believing the immortal master could protect him.
Meanwhile, up in the clouds, Gu Ke, ultimate immortal rank ten,municated to Pce Envoy, “Sir, the old man is the ninth immortal.”
“Well yed, Sword Shadow Dust Gale. I never guessed it was him. The formation Sword Shadow Dust Gale cast probably rivals Ultimate Concealment Bloody Guardian.”
Ultimate immortal rank eight, Xi Hongyi shook his head. “Besides His Eminence, none of us can do anything about the lightning skill, especially since Sword Shadow Dust Gale helped Reverend Nilei with it.”
“Do we need to take him back with the skill intact? What if the skill is triggered? We’d be erased along with anything in the vicinity. If Reverend Nilei discovers we have the ninth immortal, he will trigger it…” opined Gu Ke, worried for his safety.
Pce Envoy assured, “Rx. Everything is under control.” Liked it? Take a second to support Wu Jizun on Patreon!
