Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

Chapter 260

Hello Again, Mount Dustfallen

The velocity at which they travelled through the passageway was so high that Mu Yu couldn’t even steal a glimpse of the surroundings. If anything, he was thinking about staying alive under the pressure. It wasn’t such a chore when he travelled via Pill Cauldron Sect’s formation as they managed to block out all the involved risks.

The wood spirit defied the parameters of the world. As someone linked to it on a mental level, Mu Yu could feel the brunt of the dispute between the two. Fortunately, the wood spirit was able to escape the resistant force and stabilise itself in the air. The white hole up ahead was the spiritual qi core.

“We’re back at Third Heaven?” My Yu joyously looked around. The spiritual qi nourished the lush trees in sight. There was a barrier keeping him away. Indeed, it was the place Xiaoshuai once habited. “We’re seriously back at Mount Dustfallen? I have nine qi soul purifying flower and dark herb with me, too. Lady luck is smiling upon me this time!”

“Don’t just stand there. Get a move on. Drumsticks! Drumsticks! Even my teeth are hungry!”

“You want Uncle An’s drumsticks that bad? I recommend his cooking. You’ll never want to eat again, promise.”

Mu Yu was still allowed in Celestial Prison since Primordial Infant Realm cultivators were still permitted entry. He entered a tree and made haste for Dustfallen Precipice. It wasn’t surprising it was empty there. He stood at the precipice and let the breeze refresh his mind. The view from there was as capturing as he remembered.

Thud! Something dropped to the ground. “Mu Yu, is that you, Mu Yu?”

Mu Yu pivoted around and cracked a big smile. “Elder Xun, yes, it’s me!”

Elder Xun still looked as healthy as Mu Yu remembered. Mu Yu picked up the broom Elder Xun dropped. Happy beyond words, all Elder Xun could enunciate while holding Mu Yu’s hand was, “I’m glad to see you again. I’m glad to see you again.”

“Elder Xun, how is Shifu? How are Uncle An and the two devils?”

Elder Xun suddenly looked gloomy. “Kongkong and Miaomiao are training at Green Pine Sect. As for Patriarch and Sir An, they left half a year ago.”

Mu Yu furrowed his eyebrows. “Where to?”

“I’m not sure. Patriarch told me to take care of Kongkong and Miaomiao and then left. I remember him mentioning some spiritual qi core behaving abnormally, the white ape fiend king re-emerging and him needing to bring the fiend race’s rampage under control.”

Shifu, who exactly are you?I guess it wasn’t a coincidence the fiend king’s sealing location was linked to Mount Dustfallen. I’m almost convinced Shifu knows my every move before I make it. I wonder how many more secrets and mysterious he and Dustfallen Sect harbour.

Mu Yu had no qualms with Feng Haochen keeping secrets, trusting his shifu would never harm them. Moreover, who doesn’t have a secret or two? It wasn’t a valid reason to bear a grudge.

“Did Shifu mention how he was going to resolve the fiends’ riot?” Mu Yu inquired, musing over whether his shifu could resolve the complications on his own in his weakened state.

“I am not sure myself. I overheard him say he was going to seek out someone named Xie Bulao. As for where he went specifically, I have no idea.”

Mu Yu scrunched his face. He never heard the name before, but it sure was a bizarre name – Never Aging Evil. The peculiar name reminded him of Ximen Buxing, Judging from the name, perhaps he was an adept of some unorthodox sect. There wasn’t much he could infer even if he included Third Continent for he never learnt much about it.

“Why are you still hear, Elder Xun? Should you not be at Green Pine Sect?”

“Ever since they left, I come back once every ten days to clean all the rooms. I can’t have Patriarch come home to a house of cobwebs, haha.”

“We are all grateful for everything you do.”

The two left Dustfallen Precipice and went for a stroll. Elder Xun tidied the herb garden, while Mu Yu visited his room. He still loved his room best among all the places he had stayed and would be happy to spend his entire life there. Life at Mount Dustfallen was indescribably better than the world of cultivation and its troubles. It was so much better to relax and enjoy life with his family. Nonetheless, Moyun Mountains’ inhabitants were still in jeopardy. Furthermore, the elemental demons and fiends were priming for a strike. Being able to stay away from it all by himself was a fleeting dream.

It was a pity Mu Yu brought back the two important herbs, only for his shifu to have left.

“Elder Xun, let’s pay Green Pine Sect a visit. I want to see how the two devils are doing.”

Mu Yu missed the twins just as he missed everyone else. The two pranksters brought them plenty of laughs with their mischievousness.

“Sure. Let us go after I finish tidying the herb garden.”

Mu Yu joined Elder Xun in the garden.
