A Match Made in Heaven
The winning fish that joined Qiao Xue loved the ocean they dove in and out of for it was the most expansive body of water they could be in. The dragon vine splashed water with its tail out of boredom. Meanwhile, Xiaoshuai rode on of them, splashing water and telling it to fly while everyone else was on edge, trying to figure out what Ghost Gate was up to.
“They have stopped on a reef. One of them is standing up and holding a lantern. I think I see a soul inside the lantern. Judging from the way they are moving the lantern around, I speculate they are searching for a reaction to pinpoint Sacred Island since souls occupy the island. It might be a skill of theirs…” reported Qiao Xue.
While Gui Dingtian was trying to make sense of it all, Mu Yu already cast a formation and started drawing the spiritual energy lines around him.
“What are you doing?” questioned Gui Dingtian.
Mu Yu planted the formation into the water and turned back with a smile. “Didn’t you want to see what they were doing?”
The boat came to a halt, prompting the fiends to come over and see why. Long Xingyun glared daggers at the dragon vine, then cackled. “You plan to go and watch them? Don’t lose your life and expose us, moron.”
“Ugly people should invest more time in books, lest they end up without any desirable skills, instead of berating people and exposing their ignorance. You forget how Ximen Buxing beat you? He didn’t even need to march forward to knock you out.”
“That was just cheating!”
“That’s called skill. He blew his flute in front of you; he didn’t creep up behind you. The reason you lost is because you’re ignorant. More time reading and less time picking fights, kiddo.”
Long Yeli grabbed Long Xingyun’s shoulder and shook his head. Long Xingyun, vexed that he couldn’t win against everyone present vying for the dragon vine, turned his head away.
The dragon vine turned to Mu Yu once Long Xingyun averted his gaze and queried, “You can see what they’re doing?”
Mu Yu’s text in the water generated ripples. Mu Yu passed Shadow Splitter Sword to Qiao Xue. “You know what I mean, right?”
It took a brief moment for Qiao Xue to understand Mu Yu wanted to combine his Wood Spirit with her water spirit to borrow her water-control ability. She wrapped Shadow Splitter Sword in her blue ribbon to link their minds.
“Qiao Xue, don’t be shy. It’s not the first time we’ve done this, after all.”
Qiao Xue nudged Mu Yu. “Get on with your formation!”
“We’re a match made in heaven, huh?” Mu Yu enthused, taking a second to realise he failed to express their items were a perfect combo.
“Not one more word.”
Mu Yu borrowed Qiao Xue’s ability to cover his nine characters on the water surface in water, lifting them off the water surface. The characters glowed green and blue. Nine Greater Heaven Stage formation foundations transferred spiritual qi into the spiritual energy lines he drew. The nine characters dove back into the depths of the ocean and swam toward Ghost Gate’s ship. Formation lines emerged on the tortoise shell Mu Yu sat on, turning ripples into Ghost Gate’s group. Due to him keeping the characters a safe distance away, the view wasn’t the most vivid but adequate.
“Impressive,” complimented the crocodile dragon, sounding refined.
“This is terrific. Now we can clearly monitor them,” exclaimed Gui Dingtian.
Gui Han held a lantern that would be more accurately described as a bird cage constructed from ghost qi.
“The trembling soul inside the cage is Elder Chi Long! In other words, Ghost Gate had killed him but kept his soul to have him navigate,” informed Mu Yu, feeling sympathetic for the harsh life Elder Chi Long lived.
There were fifteen Body Severing Realm cultivators, twelve Spirit Severing Realm cultivators, Eight Body Synthesis Realm cultivators and their guardian shrouded in black mist, Gui Yeming.
“Scumbags would even kidnap children?!” Mu Yu cursed under his breath, sighting a human infant wailing in the ship.
“I can’t tell what they’re waiting for,” said Gui Dingtian.
