Chapter 285: Pretentious

Sponsored Content

Great Master Wu didn’t care about the coldness in Lou Mu Yan’s tone, and instead, there was a hint of tolerance in his gaze.

Lou Mu Yan felt the urge to beat him up when she saw his accommodating but determined expression to kill her.

“Aye.
It’s useless to talk too much.
Do you have any last words?” Great Master Wu sighed and looked directly at her and said: “I can bring you back to the Lou Clan.”

After a pause, he added: “If your Divine Soul can awaken my beloved wife, I will protect the Lou Clan for ten years in exchange for you.”

He stared at Lou Mu Yan’s face that was similar to Ling Qiu’s and he didn’t want to use violent means to kill her.
He only hoped that she would obediently sacrifice her Divine Soul.

Lou Mu Yan chuckled, raised her eyes, and continued sarcastically: “I can protect the Lou Clan myself.
There’s no need to bother your precious hands, Great Master Wu.
As for who lives or dies today, there’s no certainty yet, so why are you so anxious to promise.”

“It’s a good thing for young people to be confident, but being overly confident is arrogance.” Great Master Wu shook his head with a hint of pity in his tone.

Lou Mu Yan’s brows furrowed.
She stood up with a [boom] and leapt out of the wooden house.
She shouted to Great Master Wu who was sitting inside: “Whatever means you have, just use it.
I hate people whose ‘already a bitch but wants one to build a memorial for them1’ the most in my life, and you’re definitely one of them.”

This man wanted her Divine Soul yet was so pretentious about it that she was extremely disgusted by it.
She knew the difference was relatively large in effect between willingly giving away her Divine Soul and forcibly taking it.

This person wanted her to voluntarily sacrifice her Divine Soul and made such a hypocritical gesture, but she looked down on him instead.

After hearing her words, Great Master Wu’s sickly expression, that originally had a look of pity, instantly turned grim, with a hint of scarlet in his eyes.
He snorted coldly: “You fail to appreciate kindness.”

He said no more, and his Sword Venerable strength radiated out in an instant, pressing down on Lou Mu Yan wave after wave.

The corners of Lou Mu Yan’s lips evoked a touch of coldness.
With a thought, ten golden flying swords landed in front of her and formed an Eight Trigrams force.

After inserting a few Taoist Seals, the golden flying swords emitted a dazzling light, blocking all the waves of pressure.

Bing Ji also took the opportunity to turn into his original form.
He opened his beak and a series of icicles erupted from his mouth, shooting directly at Great Master Wu.

There was slight surprise in Great Master Wu’s eyes.
Obviously, he didn’t expect that Lou Mu Yan would actually have hidden a Spirit Pet with the same strength as himself.

He snorted coldly and two figures that looked exactly like himself emerged from his body.
Even their auras seemed to carry the same Sword Venerable pressure.

He moved his fingers and patted the back of the two figures.
The two figures dashed out in an instant, surrounding Bing Ji to attack.

“Puppet Skill.” Lou Mu Yan was a little surprised.

This Great Master Wu was not only a Grade 5 Smith, but also knew the Puppet Mechanism Skill.
It sure was beyond her expectations.

“You actually know the Puppet Skill? It truly is a pity to kill you.” Great Master Wu shook his head lightly and sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Lou Mu Yan actually knew about the Puppet Skill that was extinct on this Continent.
If it weren’t that he needed her Divine Soul, he even wanted to accept her as a Disciple.

“What’s there to pity.” Lou Mu Yan glanced at him as she kept forming seals with her hands, then she quickly retreated beside the hot spring.

[PU CHI!!]

Suddenly, four walls of fire emerged from the ground and surrounded Great Master Wu.

“I’ve long heard that this time’s dark horse, Lou Mu Yan’s Array attainments are very accomplished.
Seeing it today, it truly is extraordinary.” Great Master Wu casually swept her Array with his eyes.
“If this Fire Array was a Grade higher, I really wouldn’t be able to do anything.”

He chuckled lightly and a faint orange light suddenly emerged from his body.
The flames in the Array hurriedly retreated as if it saw their nemesis.

With a snap of his fingers, a cluster of orange flames burst out, instantly engulfing all the surrounding walls of fire.

“The largest fortuitous opportunity you encountered in the competition space back then was this Spirit Flame right?” Lou Mu Yan’s expression changed.
This Great Master Wu was a little tricky.

No wonder the feelings of heart palpitations of fear kept rising in her heart.
It seemed that there would be more dangers than fortune today, but even so, she didn’t reveal the slightest timidity.

Great Master Wu raised an eyebrow: “As expected of Ling Qiu’s bloodline, indeed exceptionally intelligent.”

Hearing the words ‘Ling Qiu’, Lou Mu Yan raised her head to ask with furrowed brows: “You want to give my Divine Soul to that person named Ling Qiu to devour and refine?”

“That’s right, if it weren’t that except for you, I haven’t found a suitable Divine Soul for a hundred years, I wouldn’t touch you today either.” His tone was rather helpless.

He wondered if Ling Qiu would blame him when she woke up and realised that she had devoured someone who was of the same bloodline as her.

Immediately, a firm look appeared in his eyes again.
Ling Qiu was his life.
He couldn’t be without her.
And it didn’t matter if he was to be blamed or slandered, as long as he could save her.“Ha, I really didn’t expect that the person who wanted to refine my Divine Soul was actually my maternal grandfather’s blood-related elder sister.” Lou Mu Yan’s expression revealed even deeper mockery, “Don’t give such a fake attitude, do I have to thank you for your few words of pity?”

It seemed that this Great Master Wu didn’t just start eyeing her now.
People who were of the same bloodline and similar Divine Souls could indeed be devoured to achieve a certain effect.

It was just that this skill had long been banned by the Six Major Sects and several top forces on Tian’ling Continent, and those who violated the order would be wanted and killed.

“Doesn’t matter what you think.
As long as I can save Ling Qiu, what does it matter even if I bear the curse of the entire Continent?” Great Master Wu said indifferently.

Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow: “You indeed don’t care about slander, but using the Divine Soul Hex banned on this Continent without authorisation, if it were found out by the Six Major Sects, and the Organisers, who knows if you’ll still have the life to continue to live with Ling Qiu forever.”

“So I’m also glad that the place you chose to wait for me was in a Danger Zone, which is also a blind spot of their surveillance.” Great Master Wu’s pale face revealed a rare hint of red.

Seeing that his complexion began to grow normal, Lou Mu Yan was focused, and the hands she hid beneath her sleeve kept pinching seals.

“Do you really think that there’s impermeable walls in this world2?” Lou Mu Yan’s hand were pinching the seals much faster.

Great Master Wu’s complexion gradually turned rosy, and the pressure on his body also gradually deepened, “Little girl, how long do you want to delay this? Should I do it myself or will you obediently go back with me and sacrifice your Divine Soul?”

“I think that your identity is not just as simple as a Grade 5 Smith and an Elder of the Smithing Pavilion, right.” Lou Mu Yan narrowed her eyes when a faint cyan smoke rose from the centre of his forehead.

Great Master Wu looked at her meaningfully and said with a sullen face: “Those who are too intelligent won’t live long.”

Immediately, he stretched out his hand and grabbed at Lou Mu Yan through the air.
An invisible mighty force instantly enveloped her.

Bing Ji shredded a black figure and wanted to rush in her direction to save her, yet who knew that with a simple toss from that Great Master Wu, a wall of fire built from Spirit Flames erupted and isolated him.

The remaining puppet figure also instantly became embroiled in a fight with him.

Then the power turned into a pair of invisible hands and tightly choked Lou Mu Yan’s neck, slowly trying to suck out her Divine Soul.

1a colloquial saying that basically means she hates hypocritical people.
In a sense that they’ve done something bad, yet they want to have a good reputation.

2a saying that means that people will eventually know of what he did because not all walls can keep things (secrets) contained.
