Chapter 81: Mu Chen lost his disciple and this time he didn’t know where to find Gu Yunjue. (1/2)

Gu Yunjue saw icy water flow from the mouth of the spring and summoned out the inherited Azure Fire Sword. At the moment, a chilly light flashed through as a long archaic black sword appeared in Gu’s hand with an awe-inspiring sound like a dragon roaring. The Azure Fire Sword came with turbulent killing intent, demonstrating a momentum of separating the heaven and earth, which terrified Bai Xiaoyue and made her tremble involuntarily in the red Fire Bead.

Mu Chen frowned and flicked his finger at the hilt of Azure Fire Sword. He grumbled sulkily, “Behave yourself!”

With a “hum”, Azure Fire Sword restrained its light and calmed down.

Gu Yunjue blinked his eyes in disbelief, and mocked, ”Well! Well! Not surprisingly, all of my properties obey Master.”

In Gu Yunjue’s previous life, when he inherited Azure Fire Sword, his cultivation was but at Nascent Soul Stage. As for the sword, it was an archaic weapon that had experienced too much killing, and was quite rebellious. And back in the last life, Azure Fire Sword had also intended to influence or even swallow its owner. Yet when it was knocked by Mu Chen, Gu found it quite obedient. Gu used to believe that the sword was suppressed because of Mu’s high cultivation. However, it proved not so.

“Young Master is so special that spiritual lives or matters like to get close to him.” Gu Yunjue was amazed and worried by such a merit. Yet his worries were concealed well, and nobody could detect a hint on his expression.

However, Mu Chen found the partner bond quite useful, as it enabled him to get close to his disciple’s thoughts. Understanding Gu Yunjue’s worries, Mu Chen grunted with dissatisfaction. To Mu, what his disciple worried was his business and it was completely unnecessary for Gu to do so.

While Mu Chen was deep in reflection, Gu Yunjue approached Mu’s ears and said fawningly, “From now on, let me do the labor. Master, you just stand by and watch.”

Mu Chen tilted his head, and felt an abnormal tone in his unruly disciple’s words. As for what it was, Mu didn’t bother to find it out and resolved directly to pinch Gu.

Gu Yunjue bore the pain of the pinch, rived the bed rock of the spring with Azure Fire Sword. Much colder water surged out towards them. Gu circled his arm around Mu Chen’s waist and jumped into the rift, giving Mu Chen no time to react.

Feeling the coldness, Mu Chen wielded his soul power and intensified the boundary setting. Meanwhile, Mu took out a high grade spirit stone, crumbed it on his palm and recovered his consumed soul power with it. Being seized and taken into the spring mouth, Mu Chen intended to throw Gu a glare when suddenly Gu approached Mu Chen and gave him a kiss. At the moment, Mu Chen tried to turn his face to avoid the kiss, but was reduced to being held by the head and kissed hardly. To Mu Chen’s embarrassment, his lip was frivolously bitten before they separated.

“You evil disciple!” Mu Chen pinched Gu Yunjue by the face and twisted it.

“OUCH!” cried Gu.

Seeing Gu Yunjue’s reaction, Mu Chen snorted a warning, “Don’t you dare do that again!” “Wicked disciple! How could he always want to get an upper hand over me? I’m his Master! Show me some filial piety!”

Gu Yunjue forced a smile and mulled. “If I daren’t to take the initiative in the relationship, I might never be able to touch young Master. Should I wait for him to call upon me to make love with him, I might have to wait forever.”

When they entered Spirit Lifeline through the spring, the rived rock gradually closed, as if an unknown force brought everything back to its usual, like nothing had happened. Feng Jiuli witnessed the happenings in the distance and moved to the spring in disbelief. Feng raised his eyebrows, and had the feeling that someone would keep the master and his disciple inside the Lifeline, forever.

The master and his disciple went into the underground river and walked out of it later. To their surprise, the Spirit Lifeline was a fascinating cave. Time showed its wonders here, and kneaded rocks into numerous stalactites. The cave was spacious with countless dark passages leading to unknown places.

Mu Chen pointed to a direction and said, “Over there.”

The passage Mu Chen chose was no different from others, which were all dark and endless. Mu Chen knew his choice was utterly groundless. Notwithstanding, his instinct told him that something was waiting there for him.

As a matter of fact, being not in control made Mu Chen feel worried.

For the moment, Gu Yunjue let go off Mu’s waist and turned to hold his hand, which made Mu frigid for a moment before he soon interlocked their fingers together. Feeling the warmth from Gu’s palm, Mu was eased.

Seeing Gu Yunjue smile at him, Mu Chen, heart warmed, unwittingly smiled back. Mu’s mood was lit up. “As long as my young disciple is around me, all sorts of uneasiness disappear, as if blown away by the wind.” The two had been together before, now they were bonded, and would always live side by side. Alive or dead, they should never be apart. There was nothing to worry about.

Mu Chen held Gu Yunjue’s hand tightly and said casually, “Let’s go.”

Following his intuition, Mu Chen took Gu Yunjue and passed by numerous caves until they came to a stone door.

A shocking power permeated the cave from beyond the door.

Gu Yunjue sensed the danger and withdrew his usual mischief, while Azure Fire Sword in his hand roared and unleashed surging killing intent.

Mu Chen made a fire ball and wielded it. The two exchanged a look, then Mu Chen walked into the stone cave and Gu Yunjue followed when suddenly two strands of power gushed out. The domineering one enveloped Mu Chen and pulled him inside.
