Chapter 658 - 211: I didn’t expect to see Brother Wang’s illusion before I die_3
"It’s just a pity she was later deceived by that scoundrel, Dongfang Mu."
"Hmph, my kindness to her meant less than a few years of affection from a stranger. How utterly laughable."
After a short while, Gu Yuqing descended into the Refining Emotion Cave.
In the ancient Cave Heaven Blessed Land, the gloomy sky cast its reflection upon the earth.
The Yin and Yang Two Evil Spirits intersected, resembling soaring giant dragons.
At the forefront, an ancient shadow of a blade fell upon the Heavenly Vault.
A figure sat cross-legged in the void, her red dress fluttering.
Master...
Gu Yuqing’s eyes suddenly glazed over, yet it seemed as if something was stirring within them.
「Outside.」
"Why is it you?" the Great Elder exclaimed, startled by the man who had entered the Yin Yang Illusion Realm.
Years ago, this man, Mu Hongxue, had come to the Divine Pond seeking to become a son-in-law and had proven to be the most outstanding candidate.
That was Dongfang Mu in his youth.
At the time, Wang Mu had assumed this persona to avoid various troubles; he hadn’t used his real identity as Wang Mu.
After all, the relationship between the Fengyue Sect and the Sword Sect hadn’t yet reached that level of intimacy.
"Great Elder, I need to speak with the Venerable Lord of your Fengyue Sect," Wang Mu said.
"The Venerable Lord is in seclusion..."
"I know she’s in seclusion," Wang Mu said. "Just go report that I’m here to see her."
"Well..." The Great Elder frowned. "The Venerable Lord is in seclusion. No one is allowed to disturb her unless she emerges herself. We cannot announce your presence, nor can we allow anyone to disturb her."
Wang Mu frowned slightly.
These Elders were unaware of his relationship with Mu Hongyuan.
They didn’t know that Mu Hongyuan had left the Fengyue Sect with him to travel for a year.
"If you Elders do not permit it, then I’ll have no choice but to force my way in," Wang Mu stated.
The news he’d received from the Moon God made Wang Mu a bit anxious.
Logically, Mu Hongyuan was in her sect’s headquarters and was an Ascension Expert; she should have been safe.
But that was a prediction of romantic destiny from the Upper Realm Moon God... It’s hard to say for sure.
That Moon God is somewhat useful, after all... At least it can help me understand the situation with my romantic destinies...
The Elders exchanged speechless glances.
He’s on our turf, talking about forcing his way in? The nerve!
"What? You had the chance to establish ties with our Fengyue Sect’s Little Gu last time and simply walked away. Now, years later, you regret it?" the Great Elder said with a chuckle. "And now you show up wanting to see our Venerable Lord, hoping to form an alliance with us?"
"There’s no need to rush. Little Gu has just returned. Wait for her to come out of the Refining Emotion Cave, and she can speak with you properly then."
"What’s your hurry?"
"Wait a second?" Wang Mu was startled. "Little Gu is back? Gu Yuqing has returned?"
"Yes."
Wang Mu took a deep breath.
The Moon God’s predictions are so damn accurate!
That Upper Realm Fairy is no joke!
She’s really something!
Gu Yuqing has returned, which means Piao Miaoxu must have come too!
She’s returned now, but it certainly wouldn’t be to sever her master-disciple relationship, nor to betray her master and sect. Brother Qin... no, I know Gu Yuqing well.
Last time, Piao Miaoxu pretended Gu Yuqing was controlling her, hoping to use Gu Yuqing’s body to dual cultivate with me and gain power.
Too bad I saw through it. After a round of humiliation and accurately pinpointing Piao Miaoxu’s weaknesses, I forced her residual soul into a state of withdrawal!
However, that was only temporary.
Piao Miaoxu is extremely clever. Once she recovers, she’ll definitely try to control Gu Yuqing again.
She might even bewitch her into doing certain things...
But, although Gu Yuqing left last time talking about betraying her master, it was just tough talk.
If she really intended to do it, she wouldn’t have said anything.
Now that she has returned... it’s highly likely Piao Miaoxu has bewitched her.
Considering what the Moon God said about the danger...
If Mu Hongyuan is truly ambushed by Gu Yuqing, or tricked by some other means... she really might be unprepared, especially with Piao Miaoxu also involved...
It really could be... a disaster!
Wang Mu’s heart lurched as he instantly deduced several possibilities.
Thank goodness for the Moon God’s warning... Otherwise, this could turn into a major catastrophe!
"Quickly, open the Refining Emotion Cave!" Wang Mu looked at the Elders, his aura surging. His Heavenly Person Transformation instantly changed his appearance to that of Dongfang Mu as he shouted sternly, "I am Dongfang Mu! Your Venerable Lord and I were once close friends!"
The moment his appearance changed, his aura underwent a heaven-and-earth-shattering transformation!
Most importantly, the aura emanating from Wang Mu’s Five Elements Mixed Yuan Immortal Infant was unparalleled.
This Dongfang Mu persona is still very useful.
Wearing it, I feel an inexplicable sense of ancient sagacity, an overwhelming pressure that even many Peak Leaders at the Sword Sect could sense back then.
Naturally, these Elders of the Fengyue Sect are feeling it too.
They were stunned.
"You say... you and our sect’s Venerable Lord were close friends..." The Great Elder swallowed, his gaze fixed on the man who now seemed like a celestial being. He felt an indescribable stagnation in his chest. "Do you have any proof?"
"Proof?" Wang Mu was taken aback.
After a moment’s thought, he promptly pulled out one of Mu Hongyuan’s dresses.
"Ahem... this is your Venerable Lord’s dress. Surely you recognize it?"
Upon seeing this, the expressions of the four Elders changed dramatically.
Of course, they recognized it...
But this was a dress... such an intimate item...
What kind of close friends would share something like this?
"So, can you open the Refining Emotion Cave now?" Wang Mu asked.
Truthfully, I could overpower these four if I really had to.
But I’d rather not resort to force.
The four Elders immediately nodded and promptly opened the Refining Emotion Cave. Wang Mu leaped down without hesitation...
「Refining Emotion Cave.」
"Master," Gu Yuqing called out softly.
In the distance, the spectral figure in mid-air stirred slightly. She slowly opened her eyes, and a brief flash of two distinct lights, one Yin and one Yang, burst forth before instantly vanishing.
