Chapter 414
Recruitment
“Welcome back, Junior Brother Feng Mu. Heaven Caster Liao just rearranged some rooms due to lodging issues. Junior Brother Cheng Zhuo has been moved to another room. Junior Brother Wu Wenxing and I will be staying with you from now. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Duan Yang.”
Duan Yang was a big Primordial Infant Realm thirty-year-old man. His smile was obviously fake, and he had his aura on the highest gear to intimidate Mu Yu. Evidently, he thought he was Mu Yu’s lord.
“I see,” responded Mu Yu, ignoring the intimidation.
Mu Yu wasn’t looking to capture fodder, but Duan Yang and Wu Wenxing just turned themselves in, literally, so he planned to use them to get to Ji Wenkai and Luo feilong.
The two Primordial Infant Realm Second Layer cultivators couldn’t fathom how Mu Yu wasn’t affected despite their “superior” cultivation. They, therefore, concluded Mu Yu had some item that shielded him from their pressure.
Wu Wenxing tugged up the corner of his lips. “Brother Feng Mu, congratulations on having your potential recognised. We were pleasantly surprised to learn we would be sharing a room with you. Please don’t forget us in the future.”
“You jest, Senior Brother. You two would not need my care with your cultivation. Surely Brother Luo Feilong and Ji Wenkai would take care of you.”
Since force wasn’t going to crack Mu Yu, Duan Yang stopped discharging spiritual energy. “Those two are deplorable. We’ll never get anywhere if we stick with them. The two of us are neutral; we don’t want any part of them. For as long as we have been here, we have had to bear the brunt of their bullying.”
Mu Yu faked an understanding smile. “I see. I am glad to have met you two, then. I never liked the two them from the moment I meant them; they’re tyrants. Since Greater Heaven Caster Lu has decided to help me grow, I think it’s time I took a stand for Heaven Stage disciples. Can I depend on you two to form a resistance against them?”
Mu Yu: You want to play, do you? Let’s go all in, then!
He really is delusional. You think you could beat them? Duan Yang scoffed in his mind. Feigning gratitude, he replied, “We are honoured you think so highly of us. We share your sentiment and would like for nothing more than to help you.”
Mu Yu slouched in his chair and crossed his legs. “Go and put up a notice, saying, ‘I, Feng Mu, am now a Greater Heaven Stage disciple candidate and am planning to help all Heaven Stage disciples with their learning so that we can polish Formation Sect’s reputation and skills. I will protect all those who wish to study with me from bullies and only charge one spirit stone monthly for the learning fee. Those who perform well will be rewarded with spirit stones.’”
You Talisman Sect disciples make me sick. I have to repay Formation Sect for teaching me. I’m going to make you cough up everything you’ve been stealing all these years, Mu Yu pledged to himself.
“Put up a notice?” The two didn’t expect Mu Yu to brazenly challenge Luo Feilong and Ji Wenkai’s authority.
“What part of it did you not understand? You know what? I’ll write it up, and then you two can copy twenty or so of them to post up. Surely you can do this much if you’re allying with me.” Mu Yu grabbed a brush and paper.
The two shared a quick eye exchange and then nodded. As spies, they had to put up with Mu Yu no matter how much they wanted to stick a knife in his back. The onus to deal with Mu Yu was on Luo Feilong and Ji Wenkai.
It was questionable as to how Mu Yu could oppose Ji Wenkai and Luo Feilong with his Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation. Having said that, his offer was enticing if his candidacy as a Greater Heaven Stage disciple wasn’t persuasive enough. To make his offer a no-brainer decision, he offered to give away a Greater Heaven Stage dark ultimate ice jade to the Heaven Stage disciple he evaluated to be the best.
“Greater Heaven Caster Lu has never given me Greater Heaven Stage formation foundations!” snapped Luo Feilong, talking with Ji Wenkai at a desolate wood where they commonly met up for undercover business.
“Since he wants a fight, we’ll give it to him. He’s starting to recruit goons of his own, so let’s send a few of our people,” recommended Ji Wenkai, cracking his knuckles.
“Is ‘our people’ referring to Talisman Sect or Formation Sect?”
“Mm… Feng Mu’s offerings are more than what we can offer. Actually, we’re basically confiscating, while he is giving away. Only a minority of those from Formation Sect actually obey us among the Heaven Stage disciples. I wouldn’t trust them to remain loyal to us given his terms. We need to send Talisman Sect’s spies.”
“Why are you wasting your brain on something so simple? We could just assassinate him.”
“Greater Heaven Caster Lu would suspect the two of us first. If our identities are exposed, we’ll ruin Shifu’s plan. If we’re going to kill him, we’ll need to do so when he’s out on a job, not on the sect grounds. Duan Yang and Wu Wenxing are also spies, so they’ll watch his every move. As soon as he sets foot outside, he’s dead!”
“His naivety is showing; he’s too trusting of Duan Yang and Wu Wenxing. We could squash a Foundation Establishment Realm Heaven Stage disciple candidate any day of the week.”
Mu Yu grinned as he watched Luo Feilong and Ji Wenkai, who had suppressed their murderous auras, return to Formation Sect.
