Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

Chapter 921

After the Crisis

Mu Yu tugged his head up. “Elder!”

“Eh, I thought I went off to be reincarnated. Don’t tell me you also died.”

Mu Yu sprang to his feet and checked out phantasmal Helian Kong. “Elder, are all right?”

Helian Kong patted Mu Yu on the shoulder again. “You look alive! Why am I here, then?”

Mu Yu revealed a smile of relief. “Have you forgotten everything?”

“I remember some white person showing up just when I started flying along the ocean. The person said they were going to take us off to reincarnate… I’m not back at Fiend Island, am I?”

“No, you are at Pill Cauldron Sect.”

“Pill Cauldron Sect?” Helian Kong examined the devastated landscape, where not a single mountain escaped unscathed. “Did someone exterminate the sect? Who left those colossal hand prints in the ground? I’ll chop his hands off!”

“Get real. If I slammed something, those mountains would be flat, but they’re still standing.”

Worried Helian Kong would dissipate, Mu Yu inquired, “Is your soul holding up?”

“Of cours-, what the…?” Helian Kong assessed his body.

“Is something the matter?”

“I don’t know, honestly. I feel as though someone just recreated my soul’s form. I feel as though I have my touch sense.”

“What do you mean?”

“Here.” Helian Kong patted Mu Yu on the shoulder.

“I am suspecting Qian Shange altered your soul because he converted you into his so-called soul general.” Mu Yu discovered the souls scampering away had crumbled into fragments, yet Helian Kong’s remained intact.

“Qian Shanwho?”

As Mu Yu got to the part where Helian Kong smashed the soul out of Pill Cauldron Sect, the latter tried to argue against him being responsible again, only for Mu Yu to point around. Besides, there wasn’t any denying it when they were standing on Revealing Cauldron.

“D-did everyone die?”

“Oh, I forgot about something. The patriarch and core disciples are alive. Qian Shange probably killed around two thousand others.”

Helian Kong shook his head. “I’m glad to hear that. For some reason, my head hurts like someone stabbed me.”

“I, uh… It w-”

“Yeah, it must’ve been that Qian Shange you mentioned. I wish he was still here for me to flatten!”

“Yeah, yeah, it was him. I avenged you, though.”

“I can’t take this. I’m going to take a nap in my soul item for now.”

“Understood.”

Once Helian Kong flitted into his soul item, Mu Yu’s aura went from cheery to violent. “Two down, one to go,” Mu Yu declared as he locked onto Shi Dengtian, who was trying to escape Pill Cauldron Sect. He recovered some spiritual energy and then teleported after Shi Dengtian.

“Patriarch has arrived!” someone hollered once Shi Dengtian was spotted arriving at the exit of Pill Cauldron Sect.

“Patriarch, please get us out of here.”

“We followed you because you promised we’d live if we allied with you. You are our only hope.”

Shi Dengtian, who couldn’t give a toss about them at this point, shoved a jade piece onto the exit, yet the exit wouldn’t give him passage. “Why?!”

Scared for his life, Shi Dengtian immediately ran to the next exit, braying to the disciples following him, “Don’t follow me!” so that his location was less conspicuous.

“Shi Dengtian, how are you going to kill me when you’re running away from me?”

The golden rays illuminating Mu Yu’s appearance overhead gave him the vibe of a divine executioner out for evil. Obviously, it wasn’t hard for them to realise his presence there meant he had defeated Shi Dengtian’s posse.

“You all believe Shi Dengtian will lead Pill Cauldron Sect to glory?”

Shi Dengtian reacted as if his legs were disconcerted.

“No, no, no, he forced us. He threatened to torment us if we didn’t support him.”

Regardless of age, those who sided with Shi Dengtian dumped all of them blame into him, not that Mu Yu cared.
