Chapter 966

An Immortal Master Kneels Before Village Chief Bu – Stalemate

“You had it coming, you white chicken monsters!” fumed Village Chief Bu, once he recollected himself.

Even though he was seething, Xi Hongyi was reluctant to try attacking Mu Yu again. Nonetheless, Palace Guardian had broken free of the domain Mu Yu cast and rendezvoused with Xi Hongyi, although he could not make it in time to stop Xi Hongyi’s seal from crushing Gu Ke.

“Sir, I did n-”

“Your job was to capture them, not to kill your own companion? I’d execute you right now if I needed another pair of hands!” Palace Guardian cut in.

Although Mu Yu was not sure if the mountain’s formation could stop an Apotheosis Realm cultivator since he only worked out a portion of the mountain barrier’s capabilities, he maintained his nonchalant expression when facing Xi Hongyi’s wrathful glare. Palace Guardian was not so gullible, in contrast, seeing through Mu Yu’s nervousness.

“You’re a cornered rat now.”

“Sir, there is a formation here that abs-”

“Shut your mouth. I don’t need excuses for failures,” reprimanded Palace Guardian, feeling disgraced. “Are you two going to turn yourselves in, or am I going to have to fetch you.”

“You and your banal lines are annoying. Buy a different lexicon,” fired Xiaoshuai.

Palace Guardian deployed his formation, shaking Mount Dustfallen gently as the seven colossal white snakes reared their heads around the mountain. Even if Mu Yu could move, he had no means of escaping the siege. Luckily, the threat activated a golden formation laced around the base of the mountain – Contiguous Horizon Formation!

The Contiguous Horizon Formation on Mount Dustfallen was more than Mu Yu could control with his knowledge. For the first time, he thought it was a good thing he did not have control over something whilst watching the formation suck the seven snakes into the formation, passing them to the mountain’s barrier to catapult back out, switching the victim of the snakes’ siege around.

As a veteran, Palace Guardian did not let the surprise freeze his brain, promptly tearing open a rift and hauling Xi Hongyi in so that they would not be stuck in the seven-way collision that gave the devastated surroundings another makeover. By the time he returned to the battlefield, Palace Guardian had unravelled the secret behind the formation that nearly vanquished him.

Mu Yu was relieved to see the formation could reverse even an Apotheosis Realm cultivator’s attack on them, inwardly thanking his second home.

“Sir, that was how Gu Ke died.”

Although Bai Jie did warn Palace Guardian not to make light of Moyun Mountains, he certainly was not expecting to end up fighting himself.

“What did I tell you? Dimwits, all of you. If you know what’s good for you, shoo, shoo,” Xiaoshuai provoked with his hands on his hips.

“You white chicken monsters think we’re scared of you?!”

Unlike Xiaoshuai and Village Chief Bu, Mu Yu focused on taking advantage of the spiritual energy in the atmosphere and Spirit Collection Formation to heal since he was not even in any shape to verbally lash out.

Determining it was not worth the risk, Palace Guardian instructed, “Go notify His Eminence and ask for advice to counter this formation.”

“Right away.”

“I have all the time in the world to fight this war of attrition with you. I might not be able to capture you now, but you can’t escape, either,” declared Palace Guardian, resting in a void whilst monitoring Mu Yu’s every move.

“Oi,” whispered Xiaoshuai. “If Bai Jie does roll up, will our formation hold up.”

“My guess is as good as yours. I need to recover if we want to even escape.”
