Chapter 63: At the crisis point, his devil cultivation reappeared (1/2)

Translator: Claire.KK

Outside Pill City, two bursts of devilish forces surged into the air. Not only Gu Yunjue alone but other cultivators in Pill City had perceived the abnormality, including Mu Chen who just had difficulty to go for a check with his waist surrounded by a hand.

Mu Chen had never been protected like that before. Moreover, as far as he was concerned, this little disciple still needed his protection. He directly gripped Gu Yunjue’s wrist and held this disciple behind him and exhorted seriously, “No matter what will happen later, follow me closely.”

Gu Yunjue nodded “obediently”, “Master is right.”

Mu Chen looked up at the sky, which was originally peaceful but turned overcast suddenly. Overwhelmed by the dreary air, many cultivators had flown outside Pill City to explore what was happening.

Accompanied by little disciple, Mu Chen didn’t want to get themselves involved in something irrelevant. “Busybodies generally die young. Remember never ever to be nosy.”

Gu Yunjue nodded again.

Right at this time, Bai Yi flew over. Realizing it was inconvenient to report with Mu Chen beside Pavilion Master, Bai Yi just gave a nod as a respect to Mu before he hurried away.

Mu Chen looked at the back of Bai Yi in an exploring manner when a special smell aroused his attention. Narrowing his eyes, Mu Chen suddenly realized something. He held Gu Yunjue’s hands to chase after Bai Yi and caught up with this scholar in an instant. “Stop! I have something to ask you,” Mu Chen snapped.

Feeling unexpected that Mu Chen should be so fast, Bai Yi almost dropped down out of shock.

“The smell on you…” Mu Chen sized Bai Yi up, “Where did you get the herbal smell?”

‘Damn it!’ Bai Yi suddenly recalled that Chen Mo threw the carry-on herbal sachet at his shoulder before he went out, to which he hadn’t pay much attention. But unexpectedly Mu Chen was sensitive to perceive the smell in so long a distance. ‘Chen Mo should ask for help in this way!’

Bai Yi was about to explain to Mu Chen when Gu Yunjue hinted him to leave with eyes. Bai Yi appreciated Gu’s meaning and immediately took to his heels.

“If something happens to Chen Mo, I’ll pull down Gazing Chen Pavilion,” Mu Chen snorted and pinched Gu Yunjue’s wrist meaningfully, “and give you a sound beating!” He lifted Gu Yunjue and ran after Bai Yi. It seemed that Chen Mo was in danger, so he couldn’t just neglect it.

“Master is partial and even means to beat me for the sake of an irrelevant person.” Gu Yunjue complained with much grievance as he was dragged by Mu Chen in the sky, without that urge to disclaim his relation with Gazing Chen Pavilion.

Feeling still unclear of the whole matter, Mu Chen was about to ask more, when two waves of Synthesis Stage cultivation surged over with the spirit power stirring the air droningly.

Mu Chen subconsciously held his little disciple tighter and swept his hand to block this overwhelming strike.

Mu Chen by dint of his cultivation was absolutely out of problem to defense against the huge waves. But others would be unfortunate. Those who came to look on were blown off one after another helplessly, some of whom were shocked into unconsciousness, some spitted out blood on the ground and more were thrown on their knees.

Two top cultivators of Synthesis Stage confronted each other, leaving no space for others to intervene.

Several elders of Pill City came and stood up in the sky. Seeing that the two entangling together were devil cultivators, they just folded their arms and looked on.

Being extremely furious, Gu Yunjin looked at the sky with his eyes reddened and clenched his fists, “How come Star-Cloud Exalt attacks me? He is crazy?!”

No one replied him because half of his subordinates had been killed before Fu Ruankao realized he had been calculated and hurried back. No one knew why Star-Cloud Exalt suddenly turned against him. Neither did they know how Star-Cloud Exalt should become clear about this Gu Yunjin’s deployment of forces. All in all, spilled water couldn’t be gathered up. Today, if he couldn’t kill Star-Cloud Exalt and let the other go back to the devil realm, the situation would be even more unfavorable to him.

The two devils were fighting against each other feverishly. In order to offset the impact force, the elders had set three layers of boundaries around Pill City.

Bo Yuntian remained solemn, ‘No matter why two devil cultivators come to my place at the same time, neither of them can leave today so long as they dare to stir troubles here. I don’t boast to have everything, but money is never in lack!’ “Servants come to set up spiritual artillery!”

Spiritual artillery was a kind of destructive weapon that could transform spirit stones into spirit power to shoot enemies. So long as sufficient spirit stones were stuffed inside the artillery, one shoot from it could destroy a whole city. In order to protect Pill City’s pill alchemists who were bad at fighting, Bo Yuntian had already prepared enough of this weapon.

Every spiritual artillery was connected with a spirit mine. When it was necessary, Bo Yuntian wouldn’t mind killing all the enemies to promote his prestige as a Pill God.

Because Bai Yi flew away out of sight, Mu Chen glared at Gu Yunjue with anger and tucked his head under the arm. When he was about to leave, a strong wind blew over and a voice rang abruptly, “You’d better stay still now. I need you follow me later.”

Hearing the voice quite familiar, Mu Chen looked up, only to find the neurotic devil cultivator he had met on the roof that night was fighting with the other. After somberly sizing up the boundaries before him, Mu Chen put Gu Yunjue behind his back and kicked forward!

White flames spurted out around Mu Chen when the boundaries were cracked at once.

“Catch me, if you do have the knack!” With the long sword held in his hand, Mu Chen seemed so aloof and murderous that others didn’t dare to get close.

Star-Cloud Exalt was startled for a while before a sudden smile spread on his face, “Interesting! I’ll come for you later after I finish them.”

The Devil Lord hadn’t expected that his favorite son had developed so powerful. As Gu Yunjin was getting increasingly uncontrollable, how could the Lord allow him to act randomly any more. This time he decided to chop down Gu Yunjin’s hard wings to prevent this little bird flying further.

What Devil Lord needed was a puppet rather than a smart son. Therefore, all those good at scheming died early!

‘As for the immortal-devil hybrid,’ Star-Cloud Exalt glanced at Gu Yunjue indifferently, ‘his impure blood cannot suit for Devil Lord’s eyes.’

Fu Ruankao certainly wouldn’t let Star-Cloud Exalt kill his master’s subordinates who had costed Gu Yunjin’s painstaking cares. Today, he would even risk his life to kill Star-Cloud Exalt, so Gu Yunjin would have time to conserve his forces.

Seeing the other give one hell of effort to attack, Star-Cloud Exalt retrieved his attention from Mu Chen and concentrated on this fight again. After all, it was easy to find Mu Chen, but the mad person in front of him was hard to deal with.
