Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

Slave Pill

At this point, there was no doubt the youth was the mysterious individual Tian Ran spoke of. The decisive move meant he could have Daoist Qing Song find out where Sword Shadow Dust Gale was. Green Pine Sect’s resourcefulness was bound to be a more efficient method compared to Tian Ran’s method of asking one person at a time.

The youth flicked a red pill over to Daoist Qing Song. “Consume the pill, and you will no longer be able to disobey me.”

Alchemists used blood and essence to concoct slave pills. If the consumer’s cultivation didn’t surpass the alchemist’s level, the consumer couldn’t defy orders from the alchemist. Controlling someone was no simple matter. Naturally, the forbidden pill was awfully difficult to produce. The pills were no longer found in Moyun Mountains since there were no alchemists in the mountains.

Daoist Qing Song reached out with his shaky hand. Ironically, everyone in Moyun Mountains quivered the same way when he passed down edicts. After consuming the pill, his eyes almost popped out of his head. He felt a jolt within him followed by a surge of energy transferring from his body to the youth’s.

The youth flicked his sleeve. “Crawl over and lick my shoes clean.”

Daoist Qing Song’s mind and body were at war. He began to crawl, while his head disagreed. Humiliated but helpless, he despairingly extended his tongue. Never had he been so disgraced. His brain was literally having a meltdown. Suddenly, the youth jerked his foot back. “Enough. Get up.”

Daoist Qing Song stood up without his consent, huffing but glad he didn’t have to go through with it. Nevertheless, fear soon seized him again, as he had no idea what the next command would be. The only thing he was sure of was his life was over.

“Great, the pill is working fine,” remarked the youth, grinning. “Don’t worry. I won’t make you do that. You, after all, are Moyun Mountain’s local emperor. I won’t blackmail you into doing anything. I must control you, nonetheless. I’ll teach you how to ascend to Primordial Infant Realm.”

Daoist Qing Song didn’t have the foggiest idea where the youth was going with the trade, but Mu Yu certainly did.

“Without my permission, you are not to die. That is an order. You are not to do anything I don’t desire, so you better think long and hard before acting. If it’s not something I want to see, you are not to do it. The pill’s power will help you make decisions.”

The order implied Daoist Qing Song couldn’t commit suicide, think about escape, find antidotes or attack the youth.

“I want to see my daughter.”

Daoist Qing Song had no intention of being rude. He also noticed he wouldn’t feel agonised if he didn’t think about the youth. The struggle was completely erasing the youth from mind. Therefore, he had to accept his fate as it was.

The youth revealed an indescribable expression. “I think you shouldn’t disturb her. She’s busy with her own business.”

Unable to find reassurance, Daoist Qing Song argued, “But…”

“Who else besides me would start anything on your turf? Your focus should be ascending to Primordial Infant Realm. Without my assistance, it’s impossible for you to break through an immortal prison.”

The youth swung a hand, shutting the window merely to prevent anyone seeing them from outside.

Mu Yu: What’s an immortal prison?

Mu Yu didn’t muse over the term for too long. He had confirmed important information and acquired additional information. Either way, the youth in red had seized the initiative. He could have Daoist Qing Song openly search for Sword Shadow Dust Gale while he searched from the shadows.

The urgent matter at hand was informing his shifu; perhaps his shifu would have a solution. Unfortunately, Mu Yu couldn’t mention it while on Green Pine Sect’s grounds because he was worried the youth was skilled enough to overhear him. He couldn’t take the risk when he didn’t know what cultivators at Primordial Infant Realm were capable of. He couldn’t do anything else for the meantime. Abruptly leaving Green Pine Sect would arouse suspicion. He had no choice but to continue competing. More importantly, he needed to throw his upcoming match to avoid attracting attention.

If only I was stronger.

Mu Yu loathed the fact he couldn’t do anything when the enemy was right in front of him and threat was encroaching.

Mu Yu used the tree roots to leave the courtyard. He wanted to strategize with Tian Ran but didn’t know where she hid. At the same time, he was concerned the youth would find her. He purposely took a detour. Sadly, he didn’t find any trace of her.

As Mu Yu thought he had gone a long way away from Daoist Qing Song’s courtyard, he crawled out of the tree, only to spot a boy and girl sitting on a tree branch, hand in hand. His jaw nearly hit the ground. It finally occurred to him why the youth in red seemed he had an urge to smile when mentioning Daoist Qing Song’s daughter. She was the girl on the tree branch! The youth knew she what she was up to but kindly kept it under wraps. Oh, but it didn’t end there. The guy was none other than his first brother – Cheng Yan!

Mu Yu never forgot Qing Mei after seeing her with Bai Lang at the academy two years ago since she stood out so much. She was more mature than before, but she hadn’t changed much.

Mu Yu: I’ll be damned. The daughter of famous Green Pine Sect with dead last Dustfallen Sect’s disciple on a date in the middle of the night. Damn, girl, your father just sold his soul to the devil for your sake, yet you’re on a date with my brother. I feel sorry for your old man. And, First Brother, Shifu is in danger, while you’re having a tryst with the enemy’s daughter?
