Demon of Slaughter and God of Heaven
“Mu Yu, do you realise your actions have cost all of Pure Peace City’s denizens their life?” asked Jiang Shanqiu, finding the praise heaped on him from the cultivators all too common.
“Because of me? You ignite wars, yet sneak around under your hoods. You silence everyone who ever sees your true appearance. Is that how modus operandi?” Mu Yu taunted loud enough for everyone in the city to hear.
Everyone was convinced Jiang Shanqiu was with Third Heaven Palace once they put his holy glow together with Mu Yu’s claim, calling Jiang Shanqiu a deity. However, they dismissed the claims that Mu Yu accused Third Heaven Palace of being responsible for as Mu Yu was the demon of slaughter to them, while Third Heaven Palace were gods to them.
“Xiang Heguan, we don’t have time to hide our identities!”
Xiang Heguan doused himself in white energy, as well, tearing off his black robe.
“Please kill Mu Yu!”
“Please kill Mu Yu!”
“Mu Yu, look can you sense that energy emitted from the cultivators?!” Xiaoshuai urged.
“Yeah, I think it’s the pair’s soul energy is drawing it out. It’s coming from those shouting with the gusto and preventing their soul energy from getting close.”
It took a while, but the energy seeping out of the cultivators somehow forced Jiang Shanqiu and Xiang Heguan’s soul energy to recede, revealing their brown eyes, pointy ears and skin that resembled scarred skin from having boiling water poured on.
“Wh-who are those two?” stuttered a cultivator, stunned upon viewing the two freaks.
Yan Qingyun and Tian Ran were the only two who seemed to already be aware of Third Heaven Palace’s true nature.
“Too ugly to show yourselves to the world?” taunted Mu Yu.
”Qian Shange and Wan Shuiyao didn’t show their appearances at Pill Cauldron Sect,” noted Xiaoshuai, scrunching his face in disgust.
“That’s because Pill Cauldron Sect’s members didn’t cheer for them. I suppose the energy of the living counters soul energy since the latter is energy from the dead, and the dead fear the living.”
Jiang Shanqiu cast his eyes down and gave a Cheshire smile. “It’s fine. Pure Peace City was history anyway.”
Once the crowd’s cheers died down, Third Heaven Palace’s duo regained their holy white glow. Nevertheless, there were no more cheers as suspicion had started to manifest in minds.
Mu Yu called down a black and white dragon from the heavens using his qi, commanding it to hunt down the duo.
“Soul Style Luo Sound – Dangerous Soul Mirror!”
Jiang Shanqiu formed a ring with his ten glowing beads and then expanded it in front of him. He filled the centre with white energy, creating a shield out of a mirror. Mu Yu’s qi and dragon ended up as another snack for the mirror. Jiang Shanqiu remained indifferent as his mirror rumbled, indicating it was a normal reaction. He then redirected Mu Yu’s attack into the crowd!
“Why are Third Heaven Palace’s gods doing this to us?!”
Boom!
Xiang Heguan, who didn’t join the fight, absorbed the soul energy of around thirty thousand victims into his ten beads that he converted to droplets of water.
Usually, Mu Yu’s attack would not have produced any soul energy. Owing to Jiang Shanqiu’s intervention with his mirror, however, he separated Mu Yu’s qi from the attack, negating the innate ability of Mu Yu.
“Hahaha, almost half of the cultivators and buildings vanquished in a single attack. They only have you to blame,” provoked Jiang Shanqiu.
The destruction revealed the true nature of Third Heaven Palace to the survivors, so they would not blame Mu Yu, not that he felt any guilt out of it after the things they said and did.
