“By the sounds of it, you are privy to our background.” Shangguan Lin checked to ensure Murong Yun was out of critical condition then continued, “Someone else also searched for Xiang Nan at Levelwater City.”
“Cheng Yan?” Mu Yu asked.
“Yes. Like you, he has blown my expectations of True God’s disciples out of the water.”
“Are Cheng Yan and Xiang Nan still at the city?”
“No. Xiang Nan did come by, but that was long ago. As with Cheng Yan, Xiang Nan refused to work with us. We do not know where they are at present. I presume you are aware of Lie Shang and Xiang Nan’s actions?”
“I am. I’d like to see the lord of Levelwater City.”
“City Lord told us to inform you that he will not get involved if you wish him to assist with tackling Third Heaven Palace as our race does not want any part in the cultivation world’s conflict.”
“Makes perfect sense. That’s why you’ve been asking us to work with you.”
“It seems you do not know everything yet. Third Heaven Palace’s relevance goes beyond what you know at the moment.”“Enlighten me.”
“You may be strong, but Third Heaven Palace has reached an inconceivable level. As you might have heard during the fight, we are powerless to stop them at this point. You should quit while you are ahead. It is too late to save this world.”
Mu Yu quickly slashed Shadow Splitter Sword across Shangguan Lin’s torso, sending a chill down Shangguan Lin’s spine with the cold qi.
“What are you doing?”
“I didn’t come here to hear you dissuade me. If you don’t want to talk, I have no use for you. Your foreign race acts self-righteously, yet none of you can do anything. Seeing as you want to sit on the sidelines, you are likely to become pawns for Third Heaven Palace. Rather than let them use you to give me grief, I’m better off eliminating your race first.”
“H-how do you know we’re not from Third Heaven Palace.”
“Is that what you mean by me being ignorant? You actually think you’re still oh-so mysterious? You still think you’re on a pedestal above Third Heaven’s inhabitants? I’ve killed several stuck-up soul race dirt bags. I happen to be in a foul mood thanks to you, and murdering a couple of you haughty shadowless people is just the therapy I need.”
“Nothing will change even if you know that. The soul race is following orders from a being above them. The one behind th-”
“Is Divine Executioner?”
“You even know of Divine Executioner?”
“Sounds like you think even more highly of yourselves than I gave you credit for. I’m starting to feel intrigued with your race. Maybe I’ll go pay Shadow Syndicate a visit once I’m through with you. Yeah, sounds like a good idea.”
“I admit I underestimated you.”
“Been there. Heard that. Bai Yetian already gave me the same attitude. Now, what’s the name of Levelwater City’s lord? Either you talk, or I make you talk and then slit your throat.”
“Bai Moshang. His name is Bai Moshang. That is all I can tell you.”
“And he’s an Apotheosis Realm adept, correct?” questioned Mu Yu, contemplating, The lord of Levelwater City can’t be a denizen of Third Heaven if he’s from Shadowless Sect. Since Nian Henxi is, though, that means he shouldn’t been a member of Shadowless Sect. Shadowless Sect must know how to blend in to have lived here for so long.
“Yes.”
“… You know Nian Henxi?”
“One of the nine immortals? No. He is as mysterious as your shifu, but he is far more proud. He refuses to show anyone but your shifu respect. Our city lord has never met him, either. We speculate he is not in another world. After all, one must travel to the other worlds once they reach the cultivation cap at Third Heaven.”
“Did Wanwan from the unorthodox faction visit you at Levelwater City?”
“Yes. She was searching for Xie Bulao. We couldn’t help since he went missing at the same time your shifu did.”
“Where did she go next?”
“Ximen Buxing and Wanwan would be a challenge for even Apotheosis Realm adepts to capture, let alone for us to track them. For the same reason, we have no means of keeping track of you and your brothers.”
“You know Yu Mo?”
“What do you want with Yu Mo?” Shangguan Lin pulled his brows in.
“Same reason I came to you.”
“… Yu Mo is Shadow Syndicate, or should I say, the shadow race’s sacred maiden.”
“Xiao Ran is your race’s young master?”
“Yes.”
Grandpa Village Chief sure is magical, thought Mu Yu. “I presume your young master won’t fall to your degree.”
He might be able to give Young Master a run for his money, thought Shangguan Lin.
Mu Yu kept his eyes on Shangguan Lin as he sheathed his sword. “The next time Third Heaven Palace gets their hands on you, I won’t show any mercy.”
As Mu Yu turned to depart, Shangguan Lin hollered, “Could I trouble you with something?”
“What?”
