Plundering Plan Falls Through
“Loot this place? Sign me up! That’s my favourite activity!” Xiaoashuai bounced up and down as he alternated his raised hand.
“Slow down. I still don’t even know how to fish them out of the water. I’ve only been learning formations for a month.”
Sealed-style formations were commonplace. Pretty much all sects deploying mountain-protection formations used them.
Mu Yu placed his hands on the surface of the water, triggering ripples. Instead of dipping his hand in as Xiaoshuai tried to, he planted a black and white formation onto it. His black and white formation lines collected at the entrance, dragging a pagoda image to the surface. “Oi, isn’t this the Brilliant Blood thing?”
“Do you think the individual is here for the fiend beast army?” questioned the dragon vine.
“What? He wants to rob our property? What a thug!” exclaimed Xiaoshuai.
“Possibly. If this army is the fiend king’s, though, he should search for the fiend king. I don’t think he’s here for the army itself.”
“Somebody got here before me, I see.”
“Speak off the devil! Man, I had to go and jinx it!” Mu Yu stood up and trained his gaze on the individual in yellow across the other side.
Xiaoshuai and the dragon vine sneaked back into Mu Yu’s clothing to hide as per Mu Yu’s earlier instructions. The individual in yellow marginalised Mu Yu and strolled up to Fiend Prison. He shot a red beam from Brilliant Blood, dismantling the formation. He scooped up dozens of fiend spirits without a care in the world.
“Put them back!” demanded Mu Yu, holding back Xiaoshuai, who was seething.
The individual treated Mu Yu as an invisible existence and sauntered over to the next Fiend Prison to collect over a hundred more fiend spirits.
Mu Yu hurled a spiritual energy slash at the individual. The individual scoffed and erased Mu Yu’s attack with a wrist flick. As he ambled to the third Fiend Prison, Mu Yu cut off his path and questioned, “You’re a fiend?”
“Scram.”
The individual in yellow dropped potent pressure on Mu Yu. Mu Yu instantly drew Shadow Splitter Sword and whipped his blade horizontally. The individual finally looked up to cancel Mu Yu’s sword qi attack.
“That’s… That’s a Celestial Sword. You’re Sword Shadow Dust Gale’s disciple, Mu Yu, aren’t you?”
It took a while, but Mu Yu suddenly felt he had heard the voice before and even recognised the move set. Eyebrows furrowed, he asked, “Who are you?”
“That’s not important. Fancy running into you here. Leave. Don’t get in my way.”
Mu Yu extended his equipped sword out in front. “I won’t let you bring back Desert Eagle Fiend King is that’s what you’re planning.”
“Help him? Pfft, I’m not with the fiends.”
“What are you taking the fiend spirits for, then?”
Mu Yu waited for an oral response, only to receive a blast of yellow spiritual energy, instead. Mu Yu tried to block the blast. Alas, it pinned him to the wall. The individual continued collected fiend spirits.
“I can’t wait to get out!” Mu Yu resisted in vain.
Xiaoshuai couldn’t stand watching any longer after losing two thirds of his loot, so he whooshed out. “Let go of my snacks! I’ll give you hell!”
The dragon vine slithered out to help Mu Yu while Xiaoshuai had the individual occupied. Unfortunately, the individual pinned both of them down, as well, with a wave of his hand.
“Give me back my fiend spirits, Yellow Man!”
The individual kept going about his business.”
“Hey, that’s the last one! I saw them, so I deserve a share! Don’t be unreasonable!”
The individual glanced Xiaoshuai’s way, then destroyed the last Fiend Prison. Instead of collecting the fiend spirit, he headed to the entrance Mu Yu came in via. “I won’t kill you. Good luck.”
About seven minutes later, the spiritual energy restraints on the trio automatically came off. Mu Yu exhaled hopelessly before he went over to the last Fiend Prison. There were over fifty level six fiend spirits and over twenty level seven fiend spirits. He wondered why the man didn’t take them.
“I got through to him in the end.” Xiaoshuai leapt into the water and fished up a fiend spirit to dig in straight away. After he bit one, a twin-headed fiend fox jumped out from the fiend spirit and howled in the air. “What? Spare you? This is all that was left for me. Deal with it!”
Mu Yu picked Xiaoshuai up. “Give it a rest. It appears they can be revived. Don’t eat them as they may prove useful later on. If we can command them, we’d have a darn strong squad.”
“Always finding excuses to take my food,” Xiaoshuai grouched, passing the fiend spirit to Mu Yu.
The flying fiend fox returned to the fiend spirit.
“Celestial Star Sect’s group is coming,” notified the dragon vine, returning to Mu Yu.
Hearing footsteps in the direction the individual came through before, Mu Yu quickly scooped up the rest of the fiend spirits and raced out the way he came in.
“Another one?!” Tian Jiancheng extended his energy to Mu Yu.
“Run!” Xiaoshuai cried.
