In the dark underground passage.
A gaunt man in ragged clothes used his dark hands to shovel and dig into the rocks in front of him mechanically, his fingers pressed together like a knife.
At a certain moment, the luster on the gaunt man’s hands abruptly vanished.
Crack!
A muffled sound echoed.
The man’s fingers instantly bent backward, broken.
Yet he stared blankly, continuing to pound the rock wall without any expression.
It wasn’t long before both his hands were completely disabled and broken.
"Useless!" Xin Ya’s short figure floated in the air, his face ugly with displeasure.
With a motion of his hand, a speck of light flew up from the man’s head, revealing a tiny, transparent insect that looked much like a miniature butterfly.Because of the insect’s departure, the gaunt man collapsed to the ground with a thud.
As he lay dying, a trace of vitality flashed in his eyes, but it quickly dissipated as his breathing stopped.
"Wei Donglai, for this Dual Yin-Yang Creation Forbidden Technique, my insect puppets have already been damaged by more than eighty percent. If you can’t succeed, you dig the hole yourself!" Xin Ya glared, green venomousness filling his eyes.
"Alright, I’ll dig myself," Wei Donglai suddenly laughed.
Xin Ya felt a surge of rage rise within him.
The three wisps of ghostly green flame that trailed behind him suddenly flared up.
Wei Donglai, paying no attention to the other, strode towards the obstructing rock and threw a punch at the air in front of him.
An invisible force burst forth from his fist, like a giant spider’s web, suddenly ensnaring the entire three-to-five-meter-high cave wall.
Boom!
A muffled blast.
The earth and rocks blocking the path exploded on the spot.
A dark abyss appeared before the two men.
"Finally, it’s through!" Wei Donglai breathed out in relief.
Xin Ya, who had just been enraged, now turned his anger into joy.
Wei Donglai immediately snatched the yellow gourd from his waist and uncorked it towards the pitch-black cavern.
"Are we invoking the forbidden spell now?" Xin Ya raised an eyebrow.
"Of course now," Wei Donglai’s mouth curled slightly.
"If we wait for Liu Ling to finish strengthening the Mountain Protection Restriction, that would be troublesome."
After a string of cumbersome Curse Words.
The yellow gourd rose into the air, its opening facing one side of the tunnel.
Whoosh!
Like water being released from a sluice, a mass of black threads rushed out of the gourd, competing to be the first.
Upon flying out, they didn’t fall to the ground but hovered in mid-air, twining together into a black hemp rope over a meter in diameter.
As the rope twisted tighter and tighter, when it was about to become immobile.
Bang!
A sound of air bursting.
The rope, still from motion, suddenly began to spin like a drill and in an instant pierced through the air, disappearing from view.
Yet the threads inside the yellow gourd seemed infinite, gushing out continuously, pushing the black line forward and drilling deeper into the tunnel.
"Let’s go, to the central pulse point. Once the Forbidden Spell is activated, that is the only safe place."
"Xin Ya, get ready to harvest the Primordial Qi! Haha!" Laughing heartily, Wei Donglai strode away.
…
At Mist Smoke Mountain, in Chen Mu’s wooden tower.
The bamboo rocking chair swayed back and forth, creaking the long balcony of the bamboo building.
"It’s better to hide at home for three days first."
"After meeting Liang Yi and receiving Daoist Cultivation, see if I can be directly transferred back to Jade Spring Mountain."
Chen Mu decided to avoid Sun Wuhuan.
"As long as I don’t appear before him, ’out of sight, out of mind,’ he’ll gradually forget and then there’ll be no more problems."
Mist Smoke Mountain had much work to be done, and the expansion of the other courtyards would not stop in the short term.
Sun Wuhuan certainly kept himself busy participating in the expansion, organizing small gatherings to discourse on Daoism, earning Daoist Jade and White Jade Money.
"He won’t abandon a lucrative opportunity and specifically come back to trouble me, will he?" Chen Mu shrugged.
"At worst, I’ll invoke the name of Liang Yisong to scare him off."
"Someone like Sun Wuhuan, who prioritizes personal gain, is most adept at weighing pros and cons."
"With no benefits and added risks, naturally, he won’t come looking for trouble."
With this thought, Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to close his eyes and concentrate on the Parasite Expelling Pill, his ears suddenly twitched.
The sound of someone stepping on and crushing dried leaves suddenly rang close by, causing alarm in Chen Mu’s heart like a thunderclap.
A sense of danger suddenly rose in his mind.
Truthful Listening!
…
Within the dense woods, Sun Wuhuan, who was walking slowly, suddenly paused.
Sensing a sweep of nearly imperceptible fluctuation, Sun Wuhuan’s lips curled up in a satisfied smile.
A flash of white jade brilliance surrounded him, and with one step, he arrived at the front of the bamboo building.
"Junior brother has finally returned."
"You really made me wait."
Chen Mu, who had just straightened up from the reclining chair, couldn’t help but his pupils shrink.
Malice was approaching!
The next moment, Jade Seed Inner Magical Power surged crazily into the pitch-black Primordial Talisman.
Five Ghosts Fleeing Technique!
Suddenly, dark smoke billowed around him.
Wuu wuu wuu...
Accompanied by a wailing sound like ghosts and wolves howling.
The bamboo chair shattered into pieces, and Chen Mu’s figure was hurled backward into the house.
He then crashed through the floor and disappeared into the tunnel below in an instant.
"I just wanted to give you a gift."
"Why are you running, junior brother?" Sun Wuhuan sighed helplessly with a full face of exasperation.
"This is a misunderstanding," realized Sun Wuhuan.
He then sternly said, "But that won’t do, I need to explain things to you face to face."
"After all, it’s better to dissolve enmity rather than to foster it. I need to resolve this grudge with you."
Sun Wuhuan’s entire body flashed with White Jade, turning into a streak of light that arced across the sky, closely following Chen Mu and crashing into the tunnel with a bang.
...
"I shouldn’t have shown my face inside the bamboo building!" Chen Mu couldn’t help but curse himself.
He had been too careless.
Who would have thought that after a month, this guy would still be so attentive to him?
He had just come back today!
Wait, could this damned guy have been checking on him every day? Was he that vengeful?!
The next moment, Sun Wuhuan’s sincere voice suddenly came from behind.
"Junior brother, stop for a moment. I’m here to give you a gift."
I’ll believe in ghosts first!
Chen Mu’s expression changed drastically at once, the sounds of wailing intensified threefold, and he ran even faster!
"Junior brother, the Secret Technique you’re using is shadowy and peculiar. It’s not the right way. Make sure you don’t stray."
Still sincere, Sun Wuhuan’s demeanor even carried a hint of concern—could Chen Mu be hearing things?!
Madman!
Bang!
He broke through a stone door at the end of the secret tunnel.
Chen Mu’s figure fell for half a meter and then, with a fierce howl from the Five Ghosts, shot up as if hitting a trampoline and flew towards the dark, dense forest without looking back.
Almost the instant he left, Sun Wuhuan appeared at the entrance of the tunnel.
He crouched slightly, and the White Jade Spiritual Light around his body spun rapidly, buzzing loudly.
Then he shot out like a cannonball, following right behind Chen Mu.
...
In midair, Chen Mu instinctively looked back.
He saw a streak of White Jade light shooting diagonally upward from the mountain wall, tracing a faint arc toward him.
When the light reached a certain height, it sprang up again, drawing another arc. Experience exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire
After three ups and downs like this, the distance between the two had been cut by half!
Chen Mu felt as if someone had clenched his heart.
The distance he had managed to put between them by using the winding tunnel was about to be closed!
Chen Mu could even see Sun Wuhuan’s face, with a gentle smile plastered on his pudgy cheeks.
He definitely couldn’t outfly him!
Chen Mu’s pupils suddenly constricted.
In that moment, his heart hardened, and his right hand swung fiercely.
Three Yin Slaying Demon!
One hundred and eight pale green dagger lights, each the length of a small arm, appeared and then splattered like fireworks.
Like a miniature meteor shower, they thunderously plummeted towards Sun Wuhuan.
The pale green translucent blades tore through the air, fiercely slicing into the White Jade Spiritual Light...
Crack!
A fissure appeared on the translucent blades, and in the blink of an eye, dense cracks followed.
Bang!
The blades shattered into glowing specks of light.
"Oh? I didn’t expect my junior brother to know the Demon Slaying Talisman Sword, but it’s a pity you learned an incomplete version," Sun Wuhuan said, all smiles, "After we resolve our issue, if you still fancy it, I can burn you a copy, you know."
His entire figure suddenly veered to the side, easily dodging the pale green blades.
The glow around his body spun once more, with a buzzing sound resuming.
The smile on Sun Wuhuan’s face became broader, and he prepared to unleash the Longitudinal Rainbow Light again, which would allow him to bring his foe down.
But just as he was about to leap, he saw Chen Mu fiercely swing his right hand to the right.
The pale green blades that had just been dodged all bombarded Sun Wuhuan’s side.
Caught off-guard, Sun Wuhuan veered to one side and went crashing down diagonally into the dense forest.
An incomplete version?
Even if it was incomplete, it was the peak of what could be achieved with an incomplete version!
Chen Mu snorted coldly, seizing the moment his foe veered off course to change direction rapidly, accompanied by a series of ghostly wails and wolf howls, and swiftly flew away.
