Backbone
Mu Yu removed his Hundred Faces Illusion Formation and then announced, “Five Mountains Alliance and Third Heaven Palace wish to rule Third Heaven and force everyone to obey them, so I shall destroy their rule. Nobody in the cultivation world has any right to monopolise people. Everyone has their right to free will.”
It wasn’t hard for them to recognise Mu Yu given his fame. At the same time, it gave credibility to his declaration on top of salvaging Sword Shadow Dust Gale’s defiled reputation. Actually, their reputation went beyond neutral to positive, becoming synonymous with “hope” for those unaffiliated with Third Heaven Palace or Five Mountains Alliance and the nightmare for Five Mountains Alliance.
Perceiving Mu Yu to be their backbone, those present at the execution site gave Tie Shasheng and Daoist Zhanlang a taste of their wrath, ripping into them within mere seconds. Of course, Mu Yu slipped Wood Spirit underneath them to absorb their souls, ensuring there was no chance of them resurrecting.
“Nobody with Five Mountains Alliance is absconding,” Mu Yu declared.
“Slay Five Mountains Alliance!” roared Lu Deyi, conducting the assail on Five Mountains Alliance’s present members.
While Mu Yu hunted down the strong cultivators, the others hunted the weaker cultivators, clearing out the city of Five Mountains Alliance’s members in under two hours.
“Hahaha, thanks to you, we’ve averted a crisis, extended our lives and taken back the city!” enthused Lu Deyi.
Mu Yu warned, “Greater Heaven Caster Lu, you are still hurt. Take it easy.”
“Killing Five Mountains Alliance’s personnel is rejuvenating,” Lu Deyi proudly kidded.
“Indeed. Everyone has been eager to fight back, but they were lacking a backbone until you came along, Mu Yu.” Even Situ Yangtian was all smiles.
Mu Yu stated, “It’s not time for all-out war just yet. I don’t have any chance of defeating Third Heaven Palace until I reach Apotheosis Realm. All I can do for now is take out their foot soldiers in the form of Five Mountains Alliance.”
“We understand.” Lu Deyi heaved a heavy breath as he gazed at the dissected corpses. “They were all heroes who refused to submit. They would bolster our forces considerably if they could return to life.”
Mu Yu counted forty-odd souls in the soul stones he had obtained. Although Zhanlang claimed to have killed triple digits, there were nowhere near as many corpses on public display. Mu Yu sauntered over to Daoist Nanwei’s head and asked Ju Mang, “Can Life and Death in the Blink of an Eye be used to revive him?”
Ju Mang answered, “You won’t last ten minutes if you use it at your current level.”
The ability to kill with his right eye required precision and timing similarly to an archer with bow and arrow, making it challenging for Mu Yu to land at his currently level. His left eye’s resurrection ability, fortunately, did not have as many prerequisites.
“How many can I revive?”
“Depends. You have close to zero understanding of my domain ability. You could bring back a few from the dead; however, you’ll be incapacitated for approximately two hours afterwards.”
“Two hours it is, then. Greater Heaven Casters Lu and Situ can protect me for that long.” Mu Yu gave Lu Deyi a smack on the shoulder. “Greater Heaven Caster Lu, let’s find a safe place to revive them.”
“Yes, l-, revive them? Mu Yu, I am too old for those kinds of jokes; my heart can only stand so much surprise. As much as I want to revive them, revival is among the most sensational claims. I, in fact, have never heard of a resurrection ability. Besides… none of their bodies are intact.”
“We’ll find out after we try.” Mu Yu gently chucked up a bunch of spirit stones and caught them.
