Chapter 985


    <strong><em>Puppetry</em></strong>


    “You need only seal your spiritual energy for half an hour, Ancestor. You can remove the seal once the magic kicks in,” exined 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, “Rx your body, Ancestor.”


    Yu Mingjun activated the talisman stuck on Tian Xingzhou’s forehead, sending the activeponents to the rest of thetter’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 shed to Tian Xingzhou’s back and secured thetter.


    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 Pce’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 sh cost Tian Xingzhou his memories, which limited his ess to his arsenal ofbat knowledge. Sadly, there was nothing Mu Yu could do about that.


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


    “Saves us having to fight,”mented Xiaoshuai, hopping up to Mu Yu’s shoulder and then the table with fruits on it for the grapes. “We going to kill him?”


    “No, I can control him. Just as importantly, Celestial Star Sect would start searching for intruders if we do.”


    The first thing Tian Xingzhou did when he came to was get on his knees and express, “Your subject is at yourmand, Master.”


    “What do we do with him now?” Xiaoshuai queried.


    “Proceed as per our n,” Mu Yu replied. “Yu Mingjun, you tell everyone who asks that Tian Xingzhou is going to be training behind closed doors for the next few days and is not to be disturbed.”


    “Understood.” Yu Mingjun made his way out.


    Mu Yu used Divine Soul Formation to send the girls waiting on the bed back where they came from. “I need to assure my n doesn’t have any variables unounted for.”


    Mu Yu had Yu Mingjun take him to every mountain so that he could set up a series of formations and take control of Body Synthesis Realm elders, thereby erasing any of Third Heaven Pce’s forces from Celestial Star Sect. He spent two days learning from Long Qingan everything else he deemed important to his n and he had Long Qingan get him out of Celestial Star Sect.


    Once they were near Martial Hill City, Mu Yu sent Long Qingan off as he, too, left. Long Qingan, then headed to a river originating at the top of a tall mountain, where a middle-aged man in blue waited for him.


    “Master.” Long Qingan bent his knees.


    “Rise. You know what his n is yet?” the man asked, peering into the distance.


    “He… does not trust your subject or allow your subject to follow him.”


    “… He knows you’re not a fiend soul anymore, correct?”


    “Yes, he is very vignt.”


    “Did you reveal your true identity?”


    “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 Pce 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’te back, we can’t defeat Bai Jie. Mu Yu seems to have figured out how to fight Third Heaven Pce. 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.” Liked it? Take a second to support Wu Jizun on Patreon!
