Return
Instead of putting Secular World Sect at ease, Miao Yuyan’s return motivated them to increase their security. By the time Mu Yu arrived, Chen Tiandao and Zhuge Xiaosheng were already there to maintain their security formation and mend any exploitable spots.
“What is the matter, Patriarch?” Zhuge Xiaosheng rushed over to inquire.
“Nothing. It was probably just my imagination,” answered Chen Tiandao, shaking his head after Mu Yu ran away to escape Chen Tiandao’s radar.
Mu Yu was aware that Chen Tiandao sensed Primordial Yin Yang on him as formation casters could sense it when they thought of it. That was why he waited for the two formation casters to leave two days later before approaching the security formation.
“Sheesh. Since Ku Mu’s jade piece can no longer open this, he’s never going to meet Miao Yuyan again, is he?” remarked the dragon vine.
“Give him enough time, and I’m willing to bet anything he’ll create another one capable of unlocking the formation. Even I can defuse this formation with enough time.”
“How much is ‘enough time’?” Xiaoshuai queried.
“Not long. Two to three months.”
“Let’s go call Ku Mu,” Xiaoshuai immediately ordered.
In the end, they kidnapped a disciple on her way back and dragged her into the woods.
“Wow, I like long legs. Even the scent on her clothing smells nice,” commented Xiaoshuai, scrutinising the unconscious maiden.
“Can you shut up? We’ve kidnapped somebody. We’re bandits with principles, not thugs.”
“Hehe, I need to write a transmigration review after we get back.”
“How about you don’t forget about Momo, who’s waiting for you, Rodent?”
“Can you shut up?!”
Upon controlling the disciple to lead them into Secular World Sect’s grounds and then sneaking off to Holy Maiden Pool, which was just a fancy name they assigned to a bathroom, they saw a group of disciples bathing.
“Mu Yu, we have to time travel every day from now, okay? Look at them apples, pears, watermel-”
“Can you shut up? They’re not fruits, either,” reprimanded Mu Yu, gulping. “Let’s wait outside.”
“Objection! I want to watch! Art is to be admired!”
“… Fine.”
Even though the dragon vine couldn’t appreciate human beauty because of how proud it was, it still argued with Xiaoshuai over the maidens’ bodies just for the heck of it. Soon enough, unsurprisingly, it diverged into the two of them mocking each other’s bodies…
Mu Yu made a quick escape through the void in the sky once the maidens were done bathing at night. Going from seeing beautiful maidens in a bath to seeing Gui Ximing in the distance as soon as he passed through the resetting path was arguably an uninviting welcome.
“Why is he leaving with us when he left a month ahead of us?” questioned the dragon vine.
“I’d be more surprised if he left ahead of us,” responded Xiaoshuai. “Even though a month passed by in there, time in this dimension didn’t continue flowing, so it’s only been roughly one second in this dimension.”
“In other words, it makes no difference if we spend a year or a decade there?”
“What would you be doing in the past for ten years? Is the air fresher or something? Is seeing the fruits of you tampering with the past so entertaining?”
“That’s ten extra free years of life!”
“That’s a fallacy. Time is fair to everyone. If you spend ten years in the past, you will have also spent ten years of your lifespan in the dimension you came from.”
“We should be focusing on how to deal with Gui Ximing.”
“Priceless acting,” taunted Gui Ximing, clapping. “You had me completely fooled. Hand it over now.”
“Pfft.” Facing off with Gui Ximing upon leaving the cave, Mu Yu mocked, “Oh, sure, here you go!”
Mu Yu zipped over, Shadow Splitter Sword leading. He had to silence Gui Ximing before the latter’s conspirers found out what they did.
Gui Ximing swiftly backed off to a safe distance and shook his head. “You want to silence me?”
Mu Yu cast a golden formation onto Shadow Splitter Sword in his right hand, then transferred it into a void, firing it at Gui Ximing’s face. Gui Ximing blocked with the soul item in his left and hurled his axe in his other hand. Mu Yu summoned another Shadow Splitter Sword and lunged forward, diving straight into the axe, casting Contiguous Horizon Formation.
