An Immortal Master Kneels Before Village Chief Bu – Returning Home
As Xi Hongyi gradually overpowered Mu Yu, the latter gave up resistance and rushed to get Village Chief Bu out of the way. The difference in their cultivation showed when Xi Hongyi’s Celestial Demon Seal scraped Mu Yu’s back despite the latter’s speed, while the impact rocked him.
“Mu Yu, you’re bleeding! If only I could be more useful,” bemoaned Village Chief Bu, blaming himself for being so careless that Mu Yu had to step in to save him.
“It’s not your fault. Had you not tricked that other freak, we would be worse off right now,” replied Mu Yu, borrowing the impact of Xi Hongyi’s attack and his own formation to speed off.
“Yeah right!” fumed Gu Ke, setting his Thousand Fiend Sacred Beast after them.
Xiaoshuai bound across to slash the tail aimed at Mu Yu. Nonetheless, Gu Ke drew from his previous experience against Xiaoshuai, redirecting the tail to whack Xiaoshuai into Mu Yu’s back. Mu Yu took advantage of Xiaoshuai’s crash and turned it into more momentum.
“Ah, that hurt!” Xiaoshuai cried, massaging his buttocks as he climbed onto Mu Yu’s shoulder.
“Y-you’re amazing, Boy.”
Xiaoshuai pushed his chest out and chin up. “Why of course I am, Old Conartist. Mu Yu, let’s make them give us some more momentum.”
Xiaoshuai propelled himself off Mu Yu’s shoulder and to the solid Celestial Demon Seal. Frankly, to say Mu Yu was taking advantage of the momentum was a half-truth for the impact still winded him. When he used the momentum last time, he did it whilst trying not to cough blood up from the impact.
“Hang on, Gramps!”
Mu Yu lifted Village Chief Bu on his back and cast a green formation in front of him. Hence, when Xiaoshuai came zooming back, Primordial Yin Yang spun, turning the impact into a mere speed boost instead of impact that winded him. Only Mu Yu and Xiaoshuai would come up with such a strategy and could pull it off – courtesy of Xiaoshuai’s sturdy body.
“Boy, are you all right?”
“My bottom is not all right!” Wearing a long face, Xiaoshuai charged back into the two.
After noticing the gap between them constantly widening, Xi Hongyi hollered, “Gu Ke, stop! We’re playing into their hands.”
While the strategy appeared sound at a glance, it was not since it cost Mu Yu spiritual energy to cast the formation. As a result, the formation broke as Xiaoshuai came back one last time, cracking Mu Yu’s rib upon collision. Consequently, the trio crash landed into a vibrant mountain. Mu Yu cushioned Village Chief Bu with his body and some spiritual energy.
“Mu Yu, how are you? You should’ve let me cushion your fall.” Village Chief Bu scurried to his feet from the ground.
Speaking while winded, Mu Yu answered in a stifled voice, “I would have to collect your dismembered body if I let you take the fall for me.”
“You broke some bones.”
Gu Ke and Xi Hongyi parked just above Mu Yu, with the latter chortling. “You have nowhere to run to now.”
Village Chief Bu spread his arms out in front of Mu Yu, blustering, “I’ll fight you to my last breath if you two dare to hurt Mu Yu!”
Mu Yu wrestled with his body to sit up then leaned onto a rock. “I wasn’t planning on running,” Mu Yu replied as he sneakily cast a formation into the ground and Village Chief Bu’s body.
“Well, I’m sure you can’t in that state, but I still have to take your legs to repay the favour.” Gu Ke hurled two soul beads at Mu Yu’s legs.
Village Chief Bu shielded Mu Yu with his body.
“I meant, I don’t need to run. Look around you, halfwit.”
Gu Ke’s beads seemingly teleported to another dimension when they were supposed to rip off Mu Yu’s legs.
“Something’s wrong…” muttered Xi Hongyi, thinking, “We should’ve created an avalanche with our power, yet we only created a crater when we slammed Mu Yu into the mountain.”
“Mu Yu, am I still alive?” Village Chief Bu asked, unable to feel any pain.
“Don’t worry, Gramps. We’re all alive. I can’t say the same for that halfwit, though.”
“Halfwits,” corrected Xiaoshuai, crawling out of the ground, huffing and puffing in anger in an akimbo pose.
“Ever heard of home ground advantage? You think you can wreck my home?!” Mu Yu ushered spiritual qi from the ground to his body, allowing his black and white spiritual energy to heal all of his wounds.
Lush trees brimming with life and the scent of home, the mountain was where Mu Yu found his second family, his second home, where he spent some of the most joyous days of his life – Mount Dustfallen!
The two safest places in Moyun Mountains for Mu Yu were Waterstream Village and Mount Dustfallen. He did not aimlessly and recklessly run around at all.
A gust of wind rose, sweeping up leaves as two familiar beads emerged.
