Chapter 627
Backing Up My Junior
Not bad! Youre better than your average alchemist, huh? applauded He Liankong, gliding over to give Mu Yu his signature icy shoulder pat.
Your femur deserves the credit.
Have alchemists overcome the issues wood residue cause? Otherwise, youre ridiculously nimble! He Liankong checked Mu Yu out and noted, Im just discovering that your body isnt designed to be an alchemist.
I am a combat alchemist. Alchemists nowadays are split into the healing type and combat type, Mu Yu made up.
Ah, I see.
Elder, have you heard anything from Ghost Gate?
No. I cant peek into Gui Yuzis territory. I dont know what he led his juniors here for when theres no way of leaving. Is he just lulling them in to keep him company until they die or something?
Elder, I do not recall you worrying about me being stuck on this island.
I didnt summon you here, though!
Mu Yu palmed his face in defeat. Sensing a nefarious aura behind him, Mu Yu spun around and taunted, I thought you were too chicken to show your face around here.
Gui Yeming snubbed Mu Yu even though he wouldve loved to kill Mu Yu and snatch the femur in the latters bone already. Besides the islands restrictions, nevertheless, He Liankong was superior to him.
He Liankong, keep your junior in line. Listen to the uncouth stuff he is spouting all the time, commented Gui Yuzi, stealing a gander at the soul item in Mu Yus hold.
Mind your own business. In fact, your people are openly expressing hostility every time they see Mu Yu. You think Im blind? warned He Liankong, glaring Gui Yemings way.
Gui Yuzi smiled. Lets put that aside for now. Id like to discuss something with you?
And that is?
The fiend kings imperial city.
Ocean Fiend Kings imperial city?
Yes. Reverend Xuan Jizi gave you the key when he left. I know you want Mu Yu to enter to find a method of controlling Fiend-Sealing Pagoda and remove the domain. Ive always been against. Now, however
You finally thought it through after leading your juniors here? sarcastically questioned He Liankong.
Reverend Xuan Jizi turned the city into his tomb and left his inheritance in the city. You cant let Mu Yu hog all the inheritance, can you?
Your point? You want to let one of your juniors enter, as well?
Indeed. In Reverend Xuan Jizis words, Anyone who comes to the island may take the inheritance if they are lucky. Therefore, we can send some people in. The luckier man shall obtain the inheritance.
You think I was born yesterday? What luck? Youd just kill Mu Yu as soon as they went in.
Okay, what do you want, then? Either they enter together or our juniors can remain on this island for eternity.
Since you want to also send someone in, send someone with cultivation equal to Mu Yus. That way, nobody is at a disadvantage.
I must enter, asserted Gui Yeming.
You can stay outside.
Old Man, you think youre tough? If it wasnt for Elder Gui Yuzi talking me out of it, Id show you up. I happen to be an expert on dealing with souls!
He Liankong grabbed the air, creating an explosion that lulled over spots of white light to form a hand. Gui Yeming moulded ghost qi then tried to strike back, only for the white light to disperse his ghost qi. He Liankong carried his momentum through, capturing Gui Yeming with a vice-like grip.
Youll show who up?
He Liankong gave Gui Yeming a squeeze, cracking the latters bones.
He Liankong, release him.
Keep your junior in line. The next time he disrespects me, Ill send you his corpse! He Liankong threatened, hurling Gui Yeming into a small mountain, thereby burying the latter under shattered rocks.
Gui Yuzi had no intention of avenging Gui Yeming, who he already warned not to take the souls on the island lightly, as he felt the latter deserved it. Still, he could lose a battle but not without a fight. Its acceptable for your junior to speak impudently, yet my junior cant?
Im backing up my junior, so he can say whatever he wants but not your juniors, responded He Liankong, giving Mu Yu a wink, much to the latters delight.
Does that mean you refuse to work together? If that is the case, Ill just have to kill your junior!
Gui Yuzi fired black soul energy to take Mu Yu hostage; however, energy inside He Liankongs bone deflected it. He Liankong laughed from Mu Yus side, mocking Gui Yuzi.
So he also gave me his soul item to protect me. This geezer sure is thorough, thought Mu Yu, smiling.
Gui Yuzi took out his soul item, a skull. Even if I cant hurt your junior, you know I can stop him from entering the city, dont you? In the worst-case scenario, we all go down together.
When Reverend Xuan Jizi gave He Liankong the key to the city, he granted the other three leaders the ability to seal the city, avoiding any leader abusing his authority. Gui Yuzis skull was his key for sealing the city temporarily.
