Fall of a Prodigy
Taking several moments to validate his eyes were not lying, Xuan Zhengtang stuttered, “M-Master Yu, y-you killed him?”
“I did. I don’t see any need to keep him around,” answered Mu Yu, voice calm and without the frigid tone from before.
Worried Earth Sovereign Sect would target them out of revenge, Xuan Zhengtang queried, “If Yi Feiying is dead, d-does that mean…”
“Don’t worry. Elemental demons are active here. We had nothing to do with this.”
Mu Yu activated a pill flame stone to immolate Yi Feiying’s body. “Let’s head back now.”
There was no need to remind Xuan Zhengtang to keep a lid on it since the latter obviously would not go out of his way to take on the blame.
Mu Yu furtively restored the environment to how it was prior to their scrap as they departed.

“That’s a familiar aura,” remarked a tall figure that appeared after Mu Yu and company left the vicinity.
“Shall we capture him?” asked an acquaintance.
“… Let’s head back and discuss it.”
The group in the shadows resembled fireballs streaking through the sky as they returned to the deeper parts of the mountain.

“Young Master, we still cannot sell our goods even though we have killed him.”
With Xiaoshuai, who was mumbling in his sleep, on his back and his gaze fixed ahead of him, Mu Yu, composed, replied, “He’s the puppet master in many things. Without him pulling strings, many things will work out.”
Xuan Zhengtang still did not see the problem resolving himself, but he needed Mu Yu’s help and was better off not prying. Nevertheless, he thought, The update to Ultimate Immortals Ranking will finally reveal who Master Yu Mu is.
Mu Yu cast a formation on the three of them so that they could return to Mystic Beast Store without anyone noticing. Therefore, the removal of it upon returning startled Xuan Sitong and Xuan Chisan.
“Are you hurt, Father, Master Yu?” hastily asked Xuan Sitong, checking her father out.
“We’re fine,” answered Xuan Zhengtang, dismissively. “Has your mother turned in yet?”
“She has.”
“You should all get some rest now,” stated Mu Yu, giving Xuan Sitong a nod of assurance and then carrying Xiaoshuai into the room.
Though Mystic Beast Store still could not do any business over the next two days, Mu Yu kept telling Xuan Zhengtang to relax despite them only having five days to sell the fiend beasts before they were spoiled. Needless to say, nobody was half as worried as Yue Wenyang.
“Any news of Young Master Yi?” questioned Yue Wenyang.
“No, nothing,” reported the clerk.
What happened? How come Xuan Zhengtang and the kid are back in one piece, yet Young Master Yi is missing? Young Master Yi’s position is still the same according to today’s update on Ultimate Immortals Ranking. What’s going on? Xuan Zhengtang couldn’t even fathom defeating Young Master Yi. As for that kid… he’s only a Body Severing Realm cultivator. Maybe Young Master Yi is taking care of some other business or travelling again as he did last time to raise his cultivation, mused Yue Wenyang.
“Mr. Yue, Alchemist Zheng is here,” reported a clerk, racing over.
“Alchemist Zheng?”
Yue Wenyang had been sitting on his laurels for the last two days as he deemed it a waste of time to go searching for a level seven fiend spirit if Yi Feiying went to snag one. The promised delivery day had come, yet Yi Feiying had yet to come back with said fiend spirit…
