“An extra soul?” Gui Buyu asked.
Ghost Ancestor replied, “In other words, there’s someone not part of Ghost Gate here. If he didn’t pass through Gates to Hell, I wouldn’t have noticed. How much longer do you intend to hide?!”
A silver pick zipped to the disciple Mu Yu hid in, prompting Mu Yu to jump out and onto the altar. Unfortunately for the disciple, he did not escape in time, losing his head.
Gu Buyu exclaimed, “It was him, Ghost Ancestor! He is the one who invaded our sect during the chaos!”
“I didn’t need you to tell me that, idiot. How would you like to be rewarded for bringing an Ascension Realm outsider here, huh?!”
“Please pardon us for being fooled. We do not know who he is,” Gui Buyu begged.
“Who are you?” Ghost Ancestor questioned.
Mu Yu, scouring every corner to find Ghost Ancestor even though he was confident Ghost Ancestor could not attack him, responded, “Your nightmare.”
“You’ll be the addition to my kill tally soon!”
Mu Yu drew Shadow Splitter Sword from a void and splashed the uncountable number of black gravity water hands reaching for him. He paid no heed to the cheerleader squad and imbued his sword in green energy to continue slicing through one hand after the other, startling even Gui Buyu.
“Celestial Swordplay? You’re Sword Shadow Dust G-, no, you’re not him. Who are you?” Ghost Answer queried.
“I see even hermits know my shifu.”
“You’re Mu Yu!” thundered Gui Byu, pointing at Mu Yu.
“You’re slow!” Mu Yu turned his blade to the survivors as soon as he had a small stretch available.
“Please help us, Ghost Ancestor!” cried Gui Buyu.
“Insolence!” Ghost Ancestor activated the formation at the base of the platform, invoking an ugly shield from the formation lines to shield the survivors.
Mu Yu loudly slammed against the shield and then splashed it with qi, breaking through the shield, consequently creating a shockwave that floored several disciples behind it.
“Not too shabby,” commented Ghost Ancestor, manipulating the gravity water to coil around Mu Yu.
Mu Yu chopped the black chains that contained the gravity manipulation attribute but failed to dent them. With that ending in failure, he vaulted, only to crash into a barrier around the altar.
“You think you can come and go like this is your house? Kekeke.” Ghost Ancestor converted formation into spears and propelled them at Mu Yu from the disciples’ feet.
Mu Yu teleported and slashed the spears, only to whip straight through as though they were corporeal spears. They certainly would not go through his body without taking blood and insides along with them, however. No matter how he ran, though, the spears could curve and follow him, albeit him being able to maintain a consistent distance from them. Mu Yu abruptly decelerated and cast a Mirror Formation sending them straight through his body.
“Die!” brayed Gui Buyu.
“Yes, you will die!” Mu Yu responded.
“How is he not dead?!” blurted a disciple.
Mu Yu made his way to the shield below, guiding the spears along behind him. Mu Yu dynamically cast a basic Greater Heaven Stage clone formation. Typically, Ghost Ancestor should have been able to identify the real body due to his superior cultivation. Howbeit, Mu Yu’s Mirror Formation tampered with the spears under Ghost Ancestor’s control. Hence, Ghost Ancestor could not pinpoint Mu Yu’s real body.
“I’ll destroy every single one, then!”
The scattered spears penetrated the shield Mu Yu lined his clones up along. Unlike him, the disciples on the other side of the shield were not impervious to the spears!
