Ultimate Immortals Hall’s Owner
Xiaoshuai dislodged several of Clerk Liu’s teeth with the numerous head kicks he threw once he shut the door. Only the workers from the store remained for questioning.
Mu Yu and Lie Shang gave each other a nod upon sensing someone’s presence on the ceiling for a split second.
“You go. I’ll stay.”
“What’s the matter?” Xiaoshuai inquired, seeing Lie Shang take off.
“Malice.”
“Malice?”
“Someone is spying on this place,” elaborated Mu Yu, still sensing someone spying from somewhere that he could not pinpoint. He only detected the presence once Xiaoshuai shut the door to the building.
“Why aren’t you chasing after them?”
“They could be trying to lure us away.”
“I don’t get it.”
“It’s a fake signal,” informed Lie Shang, returning to Mu Yu’s side.
“I know. I just wanted you to verify it.”
“They should still be nearby and biding their time to silence these employees.”
“Too late for that,” remarked Mu Yu, referring to the formations planted inside the employees to silence them if they talked but were now removed. Mu Yu took control of Yan Zaishan’s mind using Divine Soul Formation and interrogated, “Who instructed you to vilify True God?”
“Ye Feian.”
“Who’s that?”
“I don’t know his background, nor have I seen his face. He hides his face under the hood of his signature black robe. I have never seen as much as his hand.”
“You must be joking with me. How do you two communicate? How do you operate?”
“Jade slips are typically left on my desk, and I just carry out the instructions listed. The only thing I know is that I will be harshly punished should I fail to complete my tasks,” answered Yan Zaishan, appearing more terrified than when Lie Shang subdued him in one fell swoop.
“What unique traits does he have?”
“It’s hard to describe, but I always feel a sacred aura that urges me to prostrate myself in reverence from him whenever we meet. I once saw a pure and white light underneath his dark robe.”
“Scum from Third Heaven Palace as we thought. I think it’s safe to conclude that Third Heaven Palace started these chains of stores. I guess it takes them to sell the belongings of the dead for profit.”
Sitting on the rankings, Xiaoshuai notified, “Ye Feian is also an ultimate immortal; he’s rank nineteen.”
Mu Yu went to the counter to confirm for himself. “Why is there no information besides his name? Don’t you collect information on those above rank twenty?”
“Besides Xiang Nan, there is no way of finding out who the top twenty are.”
Xiang Nan is still in ninth place. The most plausible assumption is that everyone in the top twenty, minus Xiang Nan, are associated with Third Heaven Palace. I can’t explain the mysterious identities, otherwise. This must mean Xiang Nan was already at Ascension Realm when we last met, inwardly speculated Mu Yu.
“Does that mean Xiang Nan killed one of Third Heaven Palace’s ultimate immortals in the last two years?” Lie Shang questioned.
“In other words, the nine ultimate immortals is just a hoax?” queried Xiaoshuai, grabbing another pie to eat.
“Obviously. They wouldn’t let anyone threaten their authority,” responded Mu Yu. “If they can hide from us so commendably, that means they should be Ascension Realm cultivators or above.”
“Did he also order you to malign Sword Shadow Dust Gale?” Lie Shang interrogated.
“Yes. Five days ago, he directed us to hire preachers to spread the word. All I did was follow directives. I don’t know anything else.”
“You’re an unnecessary existence, then.”
Mu Yu stopped Lie Shang from incinerating Yan Zaishan. “Let’s get going.”
“You want to spare them after the lies they’ve spread?”
“They’re but minions. It won’t change anything,” Mu Yu reasoned, walking to the door.
Xiaoshuai sprinted over to walk in front of the two martial brothers until they bid Mist City farewell. An individual donning a black robe stepped out from behind a tree and watched the trio depart.
“Sword Shadow Dust Gale’s disciples really are something. Couldn’t even bait them out. That kid eating the pies wasn’t the one exuding the malice; just who was it? Damn formation caster had to go and remove the self-destruct formations. Let’s silence them in case they become a hazard later.” Upon entering Ultimate Immortals Hall, the individual found everyone already dead. “What happened here?”
Suddenly, he spun around to see Lie Shang standing there!
