585 Enemy (1/2)

Butcher, Blind, and Mute crowded up to look at his eyes with bright and emotion-filled gazes. They observed his third eye without blinking.

Suddenly, they heard a loud boom and saw Cripple having run a hundred miles away. When he turned back and saw Butcher and the rest still surrounding Qin Mu, even he who usually had an astonishingly thick skin couldn't help blushing in shame and running back.

Everyone knew he was timid yet they didn't make fun of him. Instead, they were all focused on examining Qin Mu's eyes.

His eyeball rolled around, and he muttered, ”Granny, grandpas, what are you guys looking at?”

Granny Si looked at his vertical eye with extreme attention, but she didn't discover any abnormalities within it. She could only see that the pupil had a butterfly pattern. The vein lines were also different, their structure like that of butterfly wings. Furthermore, they were moving and changing continuously.

”Mu'er, do you really not remember what happened just now?” Granny Si asked.

Qin Mu pondered over it with some bitterness, then his eyes suddenly lit up. ”I remember!”

Everyone couldn't help becoming nervous when the youth began speaking again with a smile. ”I executed Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique. When I circulated to the third eye according to the divine eye technique that Grandpa Blind had completed, I felt a wave of boundless power flooding through me as though I was omnipotent. Then...”

He scrunched his brows and sank back into deep thoughts. There was blankness in place of what had happened after. It was as though he had lost a part of his memories.

This wasn't the first time it had happened. In Fengdu, when King Yama had unsealed his jade pendant, it had happened once. Afterward, when Fu Riluo had unsealed his jade pendant, it had happened again.

This time was unrelated to the jade pendant, yet he had lost some memory as well.

”Jade pendant... Where's my jade pendant?”

Qin Mu suddenly felt his scalp crawl, and he hurriedly stood up. He searched his body, his limbs going cold. In a trembling voice, he said, ”My family heirloom is gone... Bah, it's not a family heirloom. The jade pendant crafted by Earth Count to suppress my devil nature is gone! Granny, Grandpa Blind, have you guys seen my jade pendant... Grandpa Cripple, you must be the one who took it! Stop playing or a curse will come! Return it to me quickly!”

Cripple shook his head. ”I didn't steal your jade pendant, but the curse has indeed come.”

Qin Mu trembled violently, and he froze in a daze. Only now did he notice a huge pit in front of him.

Where Without Embroiling City had once stood, there was an incomparably huge abyss. Boiling magma covered the ground there.

The sea of fire was terrifyingly vast.

”The power of this curse had to have been terrifying. It's a hundred times worse when I had fallen into Fu Riluo's grasp...” Qin Mu muttered.

”Mu'er, Earth Count had shown up and placed your jade pendant in your third eye,” Granny Si said while walking over. ”You should get your bearings first. Let us go over there to discuss some matters.”

Qin Mu nodded with a blank expression.

Granny Si took a glance at Blind who was instantly alerted. He was about to flee, but Butcher and Mute squeezed him between themselves. One grabbed his left arm and the other his right.

”What are you guys doing?” Blind was brought away by them without his feet even touching the ground. He cried out, ”We are all from the same village, so what do you guys want to do? Leave some face for me! Mu'er, Mu'er...”

Butcher and Mute brought him away with faces full of smiles. Qin Mu turned around and wanted to ask what was happening, but Granny Si smiled gently at him. ”Mu'er, we're going to discuss some things. You don't have to follow, just rest up for now. Cripple, Deaf, let's go. Ba Shan, follow us as well.”

Everyone left.

”Don't go overboard, no need to be rough. We meet regularly, and you all took part in creating the technique for the divine eyes. When I taught it to Qin Mu, you guys were all on the side, nodding in approval... You guys really beat me... Cripple, you dare to beat me? Ba Shan, I'm your senior uncle, our relationship is the best... You guys are biased! Qin Mu caused the trouble, so why don't you guys beat him? Mu'er, Mu'er, save me!”

Feeling suspicious, Qin Mu took out a mirror to examine the eye in the heart of his brows. It looked normal; he couldn't see anything special about it.

'What exactly is the use of this eye?' he wondered.

After a moment, everyone returned to the side of the abyss satisfied. Blind's face was bruised and his clothes were disheveled.

Qin Mu turned his head back and said in astonishment and delight. ”Granny Si, I executed Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique just now and finally discover the secret of this third eye!”

The hair on Granny Si and the rest's bodies stood up on ends. They were about to escape, but when Qin Mu executed Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique and nothing terrifying happened, they let out sighs of relief, secretly ashamed.

Qin Mu was full of excitement as he showed them what he'd noticed. ”When I execute this vertical eye I can see the boundless Youdu, what is below everyone's Life and Death Realm. I think I can use this eye to tear the Youdu of the Life and Death Realm to snatch my opponents' life away!”

Butcher gave a cough and said, ”Mu'er, killing people with a stare isn't too good, is it? It's damaging to the natural order of things and is harmful to the secret virtue. It's still better to slay them with a knife. This eye of yours, it's best not to use it.”

Granny Si, Blind, and the rest nodded repeatedly. Cripple then said, ”If you could stab them in the back, it would be even better than staring them to death with your third eye.”

Qin Mu was puzzled. ”Isn't it the same?”

”Of course it isn't the same. If you use this eye, I'm afraid—” Ba Shan said in his loud voice.
