Under Enemy Surveillance
Mu Yu showed his heels without another word; however, Gui Ji called down stone doors, blocking all of the exits solid.
“Hand over Desert Eagle Brilliance, and I’ll make it painless,” Long Xingyun threatened.
A Body Synthesis Realm adept behind Long Xingyun went for Mu Yu, but Tian Jiancheng cut him off.
Tian Budai said, “Long Xingyun, what makes you think you can threaten us cultivators? Buddy, don’t worry. As long as I’m here, the fiends won’t lay a hand on you.”
“Really? I guess that means Celestial Star Sect wishes for us to bury them.”
“We’ve never been friends. Third Heaven Palace won’t allow a second White Ape Fiend King to surface, so I suggest you quit while you’re ahead. I will ensure that all of us leave this place alive.” Tian Budai then asked Mu Yu, “I suppose our friend shares the same sentiment. As a fellow human, we will oppose the fiends to the bitter end, correct? By the way, what was your name?”
“Name? Nah, I’m just a mob character.” Mu Yu couldn’t be bothered coming up with another fake name. Who knows if he’d accidentally rehash one by that point. Plus, nobody was going to convince him Celestial Star Sect wouldn’t silence him.
“If you wish to remain anonymous, I shall respect your wish. You can join our side here. We will do everything in our power to escort you out of here.”
“Since you both want Desert Eagle Brilliance, let’s see who can explain what it is.” Of course, Mu Yu wasn’t waving it around.
“You don’t know what it is?” reacted Tian Budai, surprised.
“Ignorance has no cure. Kill him, and bring me Desert Eagle Brilliance!” commanded Long Xingyun.
Tian Jiancheng and Tian Zhengye intercepted the two Body Synthesis Realm elders. Zhou Jinglin and company jumped into the fray, with Zhou Jinglin firing off spiritual energy blasts as if he was a water fountain. The various spiritual qi clashes shattered the statues around, yet not a single individual could leave a mark on the cave, displaying its incredible strength.
Tian Budai and Long Xingyun were the only ones who continued their stare down, keeping their energy directed in Mu Yu’s direction to mark him.
Mu Yu leaned on the wall as he searched for a gap in the wall to make a dash for it when he was in danger. To his dismay, the walls were sturdier than the one at Second Heaven and didn’t have any cracks.
Gui Ji, who the statue summoned to assist, headed for Mu Yu. Since Tian Budai and Long Xingyun couldn’t keep up with Gui Ji’s speed, Mu Yu’s only hope was to use his unique ability. Tian Budai and Long Xingyun wouldn’t have helped Mu Yu, having said that.
Boom! Mu Yu killed off the intention to take cover in Wood Spirit Sword as the individual in yellow burst through the stone door behind him. The individual met Gui Ji’s claws with his fist, launching the latter into a wall.
“What does Yellow Man eat? He’s bloody strong,” complimented Xiaoshuai.
There was no telling what the individual’s cultivation was, but he, at least, was a Body Synthesis Realm cultivator since Gui Ji was a Body Synthesis Realm fiend.
“Leave via the passage,” instructed the individual.
Mu Yu stopped in his tracks after two steps to query, “Who are you? Why are you helping me?”
“Take Desert Eagle Brilliance and leave. Don’t dig any further into this; it won’t do you any good,” answered the individual, ascending the staircase.
Mu Yu watched the individual for a few moments prior to leaving.
“Nobody is leaving until I have Desert Eagle Brilliance.” Long Xingyun swung his sword at Mu Yu.
Mu Yu managed to dodge Long Xingyun’s swing, only to catch Tian Budai already in close range. The individual in yellow ejected his qi, pushing Long Xingyun and Tian Budai back before they could harm Mu Yu.
Nobody paid any attention to the two-metres-wide coffin, devoting their attention to Gui Ji instead. The individual in yellow slathered his yellow spiritual energy around the coffin, causing it to shake vigorously. Everyone stopped to look up.
Dong!
