“You make a good point, Xiaoshuai,” Mu Yu concurred. “I don’t have an answer, though.”
“Mu Yu, how could he hear you?” Lie Shang queried.
“I… overlooked that.”
“Could bloodlust energy negate Sky-Shrouding Bloody Guardian?” Xiaoshuai proposed.
“No, it evidently worked. He couldn’t see you; he only zeroed in on you once you directed your hostility toward him. From what I remember, their soul energy can’t hurt you. Did you feel that the soul energy was dangerous to you?” Lie Shang inquired.
“Yes. When he used his spheres, I was plunged into an illusion for a second.”
“Let’s continue this somewhere else as people are bound to be here any moment now,” suggested Lie Shang.
Mu Yu removed his branches from the building and departed with the two.
When a cultivator outside knocked on the door to Ultimate Immortals Hall, the entire building came crumbling down, taking jaws to the ground at the same time.

Ye Feian put his signature black robe back on upon arriving atop a mountain outside Mist City and waited two hours for two others to arrive. “Jin Xiyun, Gu Chaoyu, you two are slowpokes.”
“You encountered Mu Yu and Lie Shang?” asked ultimate immortal rank eighteen, Jin Xiyun.
“I also fought them.”
“You shouldn’t have traded blows with the in the presence of so many cultivators,” reproved Gu Chaoyu, ultimate immortal rank seventeen.
“They set me up.”
“Anyone discover who you are?”
“No.”
“How strong are they?”
“You try fighting two with bloodlust energy and tell me. By the way, is it normal for me to be able to hear Mu Yu?”
“You heard his voice?” blurted Jin Xiyun.
“You couldn’t have heard him when he has Sky-Shrouding Bloody Guardian erasing his existence in our presence.”
“Believe what you will. Don’t forget that the executioner saw Mu Yu when he executed Ku Mu.”
“Ku Mus death triggered the completion of the formation, so it was incomplete until then. If you’re telling the truth, then something is going on.”
“Opinions, Jin Xiyun?”
“Mm… If I’m no wrong, that must be why you heard him.”
“Bloodlust energy?”
“No, bloodlust energy wouldn’t be able to defuse it.”
“Can you be explicit?” Ye Feian and Gu Chaoyu grouched in unison.
“Hehehe… We can confirm it when we next run into him.”

“We’re heading to Crouching Dragon Mountain to collect five elements formation foundations,” stated Mu Yu, on the way to Moyun Mountains.
The group made a pit stop just outside Moyun Mountains on Xiaoshuai’s request because he was bored of eating pies and wanted to cook up some meet dishes.
Sitting on a rock, Lie Shang questioned, “Shall we search for Cheng Yan?”
“I don’t know. I don’t know how to face him now that our paths oppose each other.”
“He’s also on the wanted list nowadays, so he might be done with the cultivation world just as you two are,” Xiaoshuai opined.
“He won’t,” disputed Lie Shang.
“Why not? Look at Mu Yu. Back in the day, he was always wishy washy when it came to killing, yet he wipes out an entire city in one go now.”
“Unlike us, Cheng Yan won’t accept bloodlust energy,” Mu Yu claimed.
“How would he fight Third Heaven Palace, then? Mu Yu, you’re only a Body Synthesis Realm cultivator with it, and he’s about the same level, right?”
“He’ll come up with something,” Lie Shang expressed.
“Have you seen him since we separated at Clearwater City?”
“No. I haven’t seen Ling’er or any of the others for that matter. She probably hates me for running off without a word again.” Though bloodlust energy dulled his emotions, Lie Shang still got emotional whenever it came to Lan Ling’er.
“… She won’t hate you. Instead, she’ll yearn for you.”
“Cheng Yan is still at Twenty-Five Kilometres South Garden. He’ll take care of them,” Lie Shang conveyed, albeit with a concerned undertone.
“I wonder how Tian Ran is doing, though I don’t know how I’d face her now.”
For a while, the only audible sound was Xiaoshuai eating and cooking while the other two were in their own world. Once he was done, he tidied up and licked his fingers. “I’m done. Let’s roll.”
Upon zooming into Crouching Tiger Mountain, Mu Yu looked over to Lie Shang. “You sense it?”
“Elemental demons,” responded Lie Shang, suppressing his qi.
“Water demons,” clarified Mu Yu, suppressing his qi and casting a formation ton them.
Though Lie Shang could sense the elemental demons, he couldn’t identify their type. Mu Yu could identify the water demons owing to his time spent with Qiao Xue.
The fact that not all of the elemental demon types invaded Eastern Desert City suggested that not all of the elemental demons were on the same wavelength yet.
Upon arriving at a small river, they detected water demons in the water; however, there were no other traces.
Using the trees as cover, Mu Yu transported them to the teleportation formation the elemental demons employed to escape from Moyun Mountains back then.
“Wood demons.”
“Fire demons.”
