Teleportation Formation
Mu Yu announced his entrance with a green splash of qi aimed at Gui Mohan. Gui Mohan got up and met the qi with his own ghost qi. Mu Yu flashed to the entrance of the passage, prompting Gui Huanyin and Gui Mingze to get up whilst still trying to restrain their twins just as Gui Mohan did. Granny Meng’s absence was the notification that she was no longer around.
“You’re Mu Yu?” Gui Mohan questioned, trying to see through Mu Yu’s disguise.
“This old one is Tian Xingzhou.”
“You think you can fool me?”
“This old one is here to exterminate evil, which means exterminating all of you.”
“No matter. I will kill you regardless of who you are, arrogant fool!” Gui Mohan unleashed his wrathful qi.
“Hahaha, I’ll come and go as I please. What are you going to do about it?”
Mu Yu bolted toward the ceiling, cleaving open a passage for himself. No matter how he looked at it, there was no way he could beat three Ascension Realm cultivators at once. In fact, he would have had to spam Heavenly Star Formation in hopes of keeping Gui Mohan from catching up.
“After him!”
Elder Meng crept onto Narakade Bridge once the three had left the area. “You have balls, kid.”
Elder Meng’s soul and arms drifted to him and reattached themselves on their own accord. He flicked the stone basin, spilling the red soup onto the bridge. Flexing his Ascension Realm Fifth Layer cultivation, he declared, “Before I get out of here, I’m going to have you lot pay me back.”

“Feel my wrath!”
Gui Mohan manifested a titanic black skull out of his ghost qi, firing a barrage of ghost picks down at Mu Yu. While teleporting around to let the picks make music on the surroundings, Mu Yu returned the favour with an automatic qi slash from the sky. Gui Mohan pulled out his ghost banner, commanding the ghouls within to absorb Mu Yu’s attack.
“Damn, he’s going to be tough to beat face to face.”
Gui Mingze propelled a ghost crutch at Mu Yu. The ghost hand on the tip of the crutch opened its hand, ready to seize Mu Yu. Mu Yu accelerated himself off on an angle with a formation to dodge it. Gui Huanyin summoned pink ghost monsters, each trying to throw Mu Yu off his rhythm with their voices. Regardless, they were enough of a nuisance for Mu Yu to have to destroy with a spurt of qi.
Gui Mohan started hurricanes out of his ghost qi overhead, impelling Mu Yu to cast Mirror Formation in addition to Contiguous Horizon Formation behind him. The short window it slowed Gui Mohan was enough for Mu Yu to accelerate again.
“Where’s Tian Ran?”
The trio soon sighted Mu Yu again, promptly firing the next series of attacks. Mu Yu dove down whilst performing hand seals, casting a formation on the mountain peak below. “Catch you later,” Mu Yu taunted as he jumped into his teleportation formation.
“Curse him!”
Gui Mohan could not give chase any further as fixed teleportation formations’ opening times could not be extended. As much as he hated it, Gui Mohan had to stop his hurricane, lest it destroy the teleportation formation. Nonetheless, the three followed after Mu Yu through the formation almost right after he jumped.

Zhuge Xiaosheng, who had been waiting in a cavern fifty kilometres away from Celestial Star Sect, finally detected the greenwood sprout a flower. He opened his eyes to confirm and then crushed the jade piece Mu Yu left in his care, teleporting him to Celestial Star Sect’s third mountain. That was not the only Teleporting Handsome Formation Mu Yu set at Celestial Star Sect during his second visit.
Zhuge Xiaosheng arrived in a vacant, messy room that Tian Jiancheng ensured nobody would visit. Hence, nobody noticed him arrive. While waiting for the formation at his feet to finish flashing and camouflage itself, Zhuge Xiaosheng cast Hundred Faces Illusion Formation to assume the identity of Tian Houyang. Upon touching the ground, the map of Celestial Star Sect that Mu Yu drew as a camouflaged formation revealed itself.
Once Zhuge Xiaosheng memorised the geography and buildings, he erased the map and left the room.
Celestial Star Sect was barren if compared to the former days prior to them stationing members at various cities. Tian Xingzhou was under Mu Yu’s control. Tian Yuehen resided on the fifth mountain. Accordingly, nobody detected Zhuge Xiaosheng making his way up the fourth mountain!
