Return to Formation Sect
Although Yao Wuji wanted to inform Daoist Yun Dan about what transpired, Mu Yu argued they should wait for Daoist Yuan De and Zhuge Xiaosheng to come to.
Mu Yu sneaked back to Formation Sect, the true haven on Third Heaven Continent at the moment as not even Bai Jie could trespass as long as Formation Palace as well as Formation-Talisman Stone guarded it. Nobody in the sect detected their presence for the seven days they stayed at Formation Palace. Mu Yu had Mu Hao train on another floor, so the former had no need to hide his appearance any longer.
Ever since returning to Formation Palace, Mu Yu could not shake off the feeling that the palace was averse to him to the point that he only managed to be there thanks to Primordial Yin Yang. As to why it was averse to him was something he needed to research.
Yao Wuji was ecstatic to see Daoist Yuan De, who had a throbbing headache due to Mu Yu defusing Divine Soul Formation from his head, finally come to. “I’m not a coward. I’m not a coward,” Daoist Yuan De kept mumbling upon waking. According to Yao Wuji, the only injury Daoist Yuan De suffered was his head injury.
“Enough with the pretence! I won’t forgive you for attempting to assassinate my patriarch!” raged Lu Deyi.
“He really has lost his memories,” Mu Yu informed.
Besides installing Divine Soul Formation in Daoist Yuan De’s head, Bai Jie also installed another formation to erase his memories of Third Heaven Palace’s location when he encountered M Yu. Thus, Mu Yu erased Daoist Yuan De’s memories after he removed the formations.
Yao Wuji anxiously examined Daoist Yuan De’s head injury, then notified, “I… can’t do anything about this injury.”
“Rest up. Alchemist Yao, take care of him,” instructed Mu Yu, heading out of Formation Palace with Xiaoshuai.“Don’t look at me. I can’t do anything about it,” said Xiaoshuai, shrugging.
“It’s important to restore his memory because we need to find out how many Ascension Realm adepts there are and their identities to prevent Third Heaven Palace using them as soldiers,” Mu Yu explained.
“If I could restore memories, I would’ve restored mine already.”
Following Mu Yu out, Lu Deyi complained, “Mu Yu, are we just going to let this go? He almost killed one of us!”
“He was being controlled. He never meant to harm Patriarch. It’s a repeat of Zhou Jinglin controlling you. You tried to kill me, didn’t you?”
“You… don’t hate me for it, do you?”
“I don’t hate you or blame you. I won’t blame Daoist Yuan De, either, for the same reason. His injuries are worse than the injuries you surfaced.”
Lu Deyi grabbed his beard. “What’s your plan? Are you going to let him return to Pill Cauldron Sect?”
“No. He’ll be in danger at Pill Cauldron Sect as his controller won’t spare him.”
“It’s for the best that elemental demons don’t spare him!”
“Do you trust me?”
“Of course I do. Without you, I’d already be cold in the ground.”
“… There’s no need to answer yet. I will tell everything to you once Patriarch comes to. After you hear what I have to say, you can decide if you trust me or not.”
Mu Yu’s tone and choice of words weighed on Lu Deyi’s mind all the way until Zhuge Xiaosheng woke up the next day.
Surprised Zhuge Xiaosheng did not see Daoist Yuan De and Yao Wuji around, so he greeted, “Thank you for saving my life, Patriarch.”
“Just call me Mu Yu.”
“Mu Yu, why did Daoist Yuan De…”
“… I assume you’ve heard the rumour that I possess wood demons’ ability?”
“Mu Yu, do you really…”
Mu Yu nodded and spawned a branch from his hand to their astonishment. “Many cultivators deem elemental demons to be evil savages, and humans who possess their abilities are lynched. In the same vein, I won’t hold it against you if you now don’t believe me or feel I’m worthy of being your patriarch.”
Zhuge Xiaosheng smiled. “Mu Yu, you don’t owe us any explanation. You are our patriarch, can control Primordial Yin Yang and have convinced us you are a worthy leader. That’s enough for us.”
“I don’t want to keep you in the dark.”
Zhuge Xiaosheng clarified, “You misunderstand. I meant to say that, regardless of what ability you possess or even if you are connected with elemental demons or fiends, Grandmaster Chen Tiandao placed his hope on you, which means he trusts you. I trust Grandmaster and therefore trust you.”
Lu Deyi added, “I should’ve been executed for my error, but you forgave me. My life, therefore, is yours. Though I hate elemental demons, I know you are different to others and have no reason to not trust you.”
Mu Chenghong smiled. “I trust you because you trusted me.”
“If I told you that I’m here to fight Third Heaven Palace, would you believe me?”
