An Immortal Master Kneels Before Village Chief Bu – Discord
“St-stay back. I-I do not know how to control my skill,” warned Village Chief Bu, afraid he might hurt the “deity”.
Gu Ke would have preferred to let Celestial Star Sect’s group exhaust the domain ability Village Chief Bu possessed. Unfortunately, Celestial Star Sect’s group was already extinct. After doing his due diligence, Gu Ke replied, “It’s okay. I can teach you how to expel the rest of the skill so that you don’t hurt anyone.”
“Ok-okay. Please tell me how to do it. Th-this is scary. I merely wanted to eliminate the elemental demons, not kill immortal masters.”
“You need only gather the lightning in your hand and blast it in a fixed direction. You have control over what you do it. You will understand when you try.”
Had it not been for Sword Shadow Dust Gale, Gu Ke could have cast an illusion on Village Chief to conjure fake elemental demons as targets for the latter to blast.
“Like this?” Village Chief Bu showed the crackling lightning in his hand.
“Correct. Now, you need to aim it somewhere, and it will fire in the direction you desire.”
“Understood.” Village Chief Bu could not be any more eager to get rid of the skill rendering him guilt-ridden.
“Stop!” Mu Yu raced over to Village Chief Mu Yu. “Gramps, don’t use the lightning skill!”
“M-Mu Yu?”
“Don’t let the insect fool you, Gramps.” Upon witnessing an Ascension Realm cultivator and Apotheosis Realm cultivator emerge out of thin air, Mu Yu cursed, “Walking dead men!”
“Mu Yu, is it really you?” cried Village Chief Bu, gripping his chest with his lightning-smothered hand, afraid he’d harm Mu Yu.
“Elder, he is not the Mu Yu you know. As we stated, the elemental demons have brainwashed him. He is an imposter who cannot be trusted as he knows everything about Mu Yu’s past,” proclaimed Gu Ke, putting on a broken-hearted façade since he could not hear or see Mu Yu.
“You’re an imposter Mu Yu?”
“Gramps, I’m not an imposter. I am Mu Yu!”
Xi Hongyi persuaded, “Elder, do not trust the imposter. Mu Yu has already been brainwashed. We are here to help Mu Yu. He is an assassin!”
Sadly, Village Chief Bu was not cognizant of the fact that he had the ability to see through illusions; it did not help that Third Heaven Palace’s trio’s appearances increased their credibility.
“Yes, he is an assassin. If you die, no one can bring Mu Yu back. You must not let Mu Yu become a sinner!” added Gu Ke.
“Y-you really are an elemental demon in disguise?” Convinced, Village Chief Bu aimed his hands at Mu Yu. “What have you done to Mu Yu?!”
“Gramps, I really am Mu Yu, the kid you raised. Have you forgotten about me hiding in your room when I was a kid that stormy night? I’m not an imposter nor have I been brainwashed. They are the ones trying to brainwash you!”
“Pr-prove you are Mu Yu.”
“Gramps, I’m an orphan you raised and protected from bullies. When you sent me to the academy, you discovered I could control wood. I used my ability to save you from a massive grey bear that attacked us. You chose to believe me despite yourself being terrified. You told me to be a hero who battles elemental demons, remember?”
“Wh-what did I do and say during the attack?”
“Does wetting your pants count?”
“I-I didn’t wet my pants. I just… just…”
“Oh, right, you merely intimidated the bear so that I could kill it, correct?”
“That’s right!”
“When Big Raindrop Village’s immortal master humiliated you, I crippled him. You then made up another heroic epic with me as the main protagonist that was actually all mumble jumble. All I did was save you, in reality. You should trust me now, right? They are trying to sow discord to blackmail me with you. They fear your lightning skill because none of us here are a match for it.”
“Elder, did you not see how many people we lost protecting you? They can dig up any history as Mu Yu is now under their control!” Gu Ke urged.
“When I told you to be an immortal master who defends justice and humans against humans. Did you keep the promise?”
