Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

Tidying Up

“If a tiny city, such as Mist City, has been enslaved, how are you going to liberate all of them? There are bound to be a number of other Apotheosis Realm invaders in Third Heaven at this point. The only reason they didn’t station any here would be because it’s a small city” Xian Nan questioned.

“Since Shifu’s implements are no longer restricting the lunar race from freely moving, the most direct approach is to kill Bai Jie seeing as he is their leader,” Mu Yu responded.

Xiang Nan swept his gaze over the wild humans. “I’ll slay the foreigners with you two. The humans of Third Heaven belong to us. Foreigners have no business using them as slaves.”

Lie Shang peered toward the mountains in the distance. “Given we haven’t seen any foreign races at Moyun Mountains, it’s evident that it’s out of bounds for them.”

Xiang Nan protested, “Don’t you think it’s ridiculous to let cultivators who abandoned Moyun Mountains into there? Besides, their cultivation is superior to cultivators in Moyun Mountains, so bringing them in will disrupt the lives of the residents. Moyun Mountains is the one place I don’t want to manipulate. I won’t allow them to ruin it.”

Done thinking, Mu Yu suggested, “Leave them at Hundred Thousand Mountains, and don’t let them cross it, then. It’s large enough to house millions of people. I’ll lay down a formation to prevent them from disturbing Moyun Mountains’ cultivators. We can worry about the other cities later.”

“All right,” assented Xiang Nan.

Mu Yu announced to the people in Mist City, “I will migrate all of you to Moyun Mountains to avoid further trouble. Cultivators, look after your fellow humans. Anyone who harms their own kind when foreigners invade will be executed.”

Qiao Xue and Tian Ran arrived to see Mu Yu casting a teleportation formation over Mist City.

“Lie Shang, A-Dai, wait for us here. We’ll see that they arrive at Hundred Thousand Mountains,” Mu Yu conveyed.

Mu Yu constructed timber houses at a flat area, while Xiang Nan moved mountains in addition to constructing simple but sturdy earth homes on the ground. Qiao Xue modified the water underground to ensure water flowed over to supply them with water. Mu Yu then barricaded the area so that only Ascension Realm cultivators or above would be able to break out.

Cheng Yan detected their active domains and made his way over. “What are you doing?”

“Saving lives,” Mu Yu replied, while Xiang Nan tacitly agreed with silence.

After listening to Xiaoshuai’s report, Cheng Yan gyrated his lips, apparently surprised in a good way. “I’ll help.”

Mu Yu nodded and did not keep the people at Mist City waiting for long, making his way back in merely fifteen minutes, silencing them with his arrival as they anticipated a report. Mu Yu descended into the group of people who died from loss of blood. Thanks to the soul race preserving their souls to pick up at a later date, Mu Yu could revive them. He jumbled the idea back and forth in his head before settling on casting Life and Death in the Blink of an Eye on them.

The hundreds of revived people crawled to their feet and walked outside, bewildered as to whether they were in another world or back to life. Upon seeing the humans outside practically carousing, it dawned on them that they had been resurrected, and the monsters had been eliminated. Unfortunately for those who had been collected some time ago, there was no means of reviving them.

“Leave via this formation.” Mu Yu activated the formation to teleport them to where Cheng Yan was waiting. There was no pushing and shoving in Mu Yu’s presence.

“We’ll pay you a visit later.” Xiang Nan and Lie Shang left together.

Mu Yu resumed his journey to Pill Cauldron Sect to consult Ku Mu on how to proceed, ignoring other cities because it would have sabotaged his plans if he kept stopping. He arrived at Pill Cauldron Sect to find it on lockdown using Revealing Cauldron, forbidding anyone from trespassing.

“We need to shout? I think Ku Mu will come out,” Xiaoshuai proposed.

“No need,” Mu Yu responded.

As soon as the group landed at the entrance, however, several Body Synthesis Realm cultivators on patrol besieged them. A middle-aged man roared, “Stop! You foreign races want to lose more people, huh?!”

Xiaoshuai verbalised, “You blind? Even non-cultivators recognise Mu Yu.”

“You think we’ll fall for your tricks? This is the ninety-eighth Mu Yu imposter. Take one more step, and we’ll attack!”

“My ninety-eighth imposter? The foreign races can imitate my appearance?” Mu Yu queried.

“We’re done talking! Eight Trigrams Annihilation!”

The eight Body Synthesis Realm cultivators glowed golden as they activated an eight trigrams diagram at their feet – a formation capable of giving an Ascension Realm cultivator trouble.

“Steady and aggressive. Defence and attack exhibited in concert. Dad must’ve come up with the formation,” Mu Yu praised, deciding to put the formation to the test.

Qiao Xue and Tian Ran stepped out of the way. The eight cultivators summoned a golden tiger to challenge Mu Yu.

“Not bad. Not even Ascension Realm Second Layer foreigners can trespass with this formation,” Mu Yu complimented.

Despite Mu Yu dismantling the attacks, the man remained steadfast. “Sword Shadow Alliance will not be desecrated!”

“Sword Shadow Alliance? It’s here? I almost forgot all about the alliance.”
