Resurrection
Mu Yu transformed a phantasmal white silhouette from the soul stone in his hand into Daoist Nanwei’s body.
Gasp! Daoist Nanwei eyes blinked with bewilderment as he gradually heard his heart beat louder and louder. He sat up to see Lu Deyi and Situ Yangtian. Upon noticing he was free of pain, he asked, “Where am I? Is this hell?”
Daoist Nanwei turned to see Mu Yu shifting the trajectory of his white ray to the other corpses next to him. The revived were speechless to see each other alive again.
“Okay, this really is exhausting.” Mu Yu terminated the domain and sat down to replenish spiritual energy using Dustfallen Mental Cultivation.
“What’s going on?”
Because all the attention was on Mu Yu, or rather, the answer to their bafflement, Lu Deyi and Situ Yangtian instantly took Mu Yu’s sides to ward the forty-six revived cultivators off. Daoist Nanwei decided to tell the others what he saw happened to them in hopes of drawing a conclusion.
“He can revive people?”
“He is True God’s disciple – Mu Yu. He resurrected you,” Lu Deyi notified in a deep voice.
“Yes, yes, it is Mu Yu. I’ve met him before.”
“Does that mean the revival skill is something True God passed on to him?”
The forty-six cultivators genuflected when Mu Yu opened his eyes. “Thank you for saving our lives.”
Mu Yu consulted Lu Deyi with his eyes, to which the latter leaned in to whisper, “I explained what happened already.”
“Please get up,” Mu Yu conveyed to the cultivators.
“Thank you.”
The forty-six cultivators gestured for Daoist Nanwei to speak on their behalf. Therefore, Daoist Nanwei advanced a step and bowed. “Sir Mu Yu, Third Heaven Palace and Five Mountains Alliance now rule the cultivation world with an iron fist and tyranny. As you possess the might and reputation, we would boldly like to ask you to lead us as an organisation opposing them, with the goal of restoring peace to the world.”
Xiaoshuai effused, “I suggested the organisation. We can build an organisation to kick Third Heaven Palace into oblivion!”
Daoist Tianhe from Celestial River Valley sincerely expressed, “Third Heaven Palace has misled us for far too long, have no regard for our lives and executed us brutally. They cannot capture the people’s heart with such principles. True God once opposed them. Hence, we believe it is only fitting that you lead us. We have decided to offer you support in any shape and form you need.”
The forty-six cultivators went back to their knees, exclaiming, “Please lead our rebellion to oust Five Mountains Alliance and Third Heaven Palace!”
Mu Yu generated a wave of spiritual energy, lifting the cultivators back to their feet, then turned to Lu Deyi and Situ Yangtian. “What do you two think?”
Lu Deyi brightly responded, “Mu Yu, we have been waiting for strong helpers. Given you are already our patriarch, it is not outlandish for you to be the anti-Third Heaven Palace alliance’s leader.”
Situ Yangtian opined, “All of them have enough influence to recruit more cultivators who see to eye with us, which will also make operations easier for us going forward. I think it is a viable strategy.”
“I believe Patriarch Zhuge will also approve. As our hope, you cannot let us down. If you do not know how to lead, Elder Bu can replace you as leader. You do not need to do everything yourself, and there is only so much one man can do. You only need to lead by example; everyone else will know what to do,” Lu Deyi persuaded.
Xiaoshuai added, “You’re the fighting leader of the alliance. I’m the face of the alliance. See? We’re invincible together.”
Mu Yu nodded. “I respect all of you for how you conduct yourselves. I alone cannot overthrow Five Mountains Alliance and Third Heaven Palace. We must all work together.”
Daoist Nanwei queried, “Then…”
“I can act as your leader,” Mu Yu affirmed.
“In that case, we need a name. Sir Mu Yu, what do you suggest we call our organisation?”
“I… have no idea. I’ve been a wanderer for the majority of my life, so…”
“Xiaoshuai All-, make that Dashuai Alliance! Sounds wicked!” proposed Xiaoshuai, back to eating hawthorns.
“Are you being serious?”
“It’s a cool name.”
“I’m smiting Third Heaven Palace primarily to rescue my shifu, so I say we call it ‘Sword Shadow’. I believe more people are likely to join the cause if it is associated with Sword Shadow Dust Gale.”
“Good idea!” concurred Lu Deyi and Situ Yangtian.
Mu Yu announced, “Our goal is to return the world to the world that Sword Shadow Dust Gale once defended. Since Third Heaven Palace harmed my shifu, I shall declare war on them as ‘Sword Shadow’!”
