Huang Quan’s Threat
There was no need for Mu Yu to concern himself with the other survivors outside as they were no longer capable of threatening anyone in the cultivation world. Once he was done cleaning up the ghost qi, he turned to Huang Quan. “You’re next.”
“I must admit I underestimated you,” commented Huang Quan, remaining as cool as a cucumber as he glanced at the swords in Mu Yu and Tian Ran’s hands. “Sword Shadow Dust Gale’s celestial swords deserve more praise than they receive.”
“I’m open to the idea of letting you cop a feel if you desire.” Mu Yu stealthily drew out a serve of spiritual energy he stole to replenish his own.
Face pale, Tian Ran raised her sword. “Mu Yu, we can defeat the nuisance together.”
“You two only defeated Gui Mohan because you got rid of his twin first. You should be aware that I’m not him.”
“Who said there are only two of them?” Elder Meng joined Mu Yu’s side.
Huang Quan questioned, “Since when did Life and Death Sect ally with Sword Shadow Dust Gale?”
“… Gu Jiangyou forewent membership as a disciple of Life and Death Sect.”
“Gu Jiangyou… You’re the Gu Jiangyou who betrayed them fifty years ago. I didn’t realise it was you. Who would’ve imagined you’d fall as low as becoming Granny Meng’s twin.”“Gu Jiangyou?” Mu Yu turned to Gu Jiangyou.
“Elder Meng is a name the wench used to address me after she ruined me so that she could cover up her deeds. My actual name is Gu Jiangyou.”
“You are Gu Jiangyou?” Tian Ran exclaimed.
“Even a young girl remembers me? I thought the world had forgotten about me long ago.”
“My elders told me you were Life and Death Sect’s best disciple, reaching Ascension Realm Ninth Layer at the young age of thirty-six. Nobody among the eight sects could keep up with you. Unfortunately, you killed your patriarch, also your shifu, for a girl. You were never heard of thereafter.”
“You didn’t turn yourself into your shifu into your twin, did you?” Xiaoshuai inquired.
“Absolute hogwash! I wouldn’t ever kill my shifu! That wench told one lie after another to fool me so that she could turn me into her twin. She assassinated my shifu and planted all of the blame on me. When I tried to avenge him, I fell for her trap and have been stuck in this hellhole ever since.”
“Sorry, I only know what my elders told me. I did not know the truth,” expressed Tian Ran.
“It’s all in the past now, and she’s dead anyway. I’m not a hero, but I will help you because Mu Yu helped me.”
Huang Quan showed genuine admiration for Gu Jiangyou. “You won’t be of any help in your current state, unfortunately. If I were to fight you in your prime, I would prefer not to engage.”
“We’re done talking.” Mu Yu embellished his sword in green energy.
Huang Quan brought out a yellow python from his feet again, demonstrating his cultivation surpassed even Gui Mohan’s. He checked out the sun above whilst descending into the shadow of his python. “All I want to know is where Cheng Yan is. Tell me, and I will leave you be.”
“I’ll take option B,” Mu Yu responded.
Huang Quan split his python into six winged, three-metres-long pythons. Mu Yu and company braced themselves to fight. Out of the blue, a rain of flower petals came down. Flower skewers pinned the pythons to the ground, dispersing the flower petals. Shadow Syndicate was renowned for using shadows to move, yet the pythons could not move in the shadows.
“Who’s there?” Huang Quan retreated onto ground floor.
“Ooh, so lively. I thought it was just poltergeists carousing in Ghost Sect and accidentally let off an explosion. Oh, wait, Ghost Gate really has been blown up.”
“I knew it was Ximen Shameless,” remarked Mu Yu, watching Ximen Buxing jump from petal to petal with his casual smile.
“Falling Flower Sinister Shadow, Xie Bulao must’ve taught you his real skills, huh?” scoffed Huang Quan.
“It’s awesome for countering shadow users, hey? Why didn’t any of you assassins take on a job to assassinate me so that I can perform?” provoked Ximen Buxing, even though he knew Shadow Syndicate did not like dealing with him owing to Falling Flower Sinister Shadow being their Achilles.
“You want to perform? How about you try living with someone trying to kill you daily!” Xiaoshuai grouched.
Ximen Buxing stretched out his back with a smile. “Brother-in-law, how you doing?”
“Shut up.”
“Why so rude? This is how you treat me after I come all the way here? How you been, Tian Ran?” Ximen Buxing gave Tian Ran a wink.
“I’m Duan Baiqing.”
“Hahaha, you can’t fool me. You look millions of times prettier than that grouchy woman. The last time I peeped on her bathing, she chased me for thousands of kilometres. It’s a pity I can’t see her now that she stopped chasing me, having said that.” Ximen Buxing started fanning himself with Evil Dark Fan nonchalantly.
“Oi, Tian Ran is mine, so watch your tongue,” Mu Yu warned, putting red flushes on Tian Ran’s cheeks.
“Why does every pretty one have a lover, while I’m single despite looking remarkably handsome?!”
“Most handsome people are single,” Xiaoshuai boasted from Mu Yu’s shoulder.
“Ahahaha, now we’re talking.”
“Ximen Buxing, do you want trouble?” Huang Quan aggressed.
Ximen Buxing folded his fan. “Why are you asking me that question if you know who I am?”
