Chapter 69: "Master, you’re finally in my hands" (2/2)

The scenery on the left and right sides of the valley was quite different.

On the left, the mountains were green and full of vitality, with all kinds of lush trees, flowers and plants.

On the right, not even a blade of grass was seen. In a broad view, there were only red rocks spreading for hundreds of miles.

”Red on one side and green on the other. No wonder it's called Green Red Valley.” Mu Chen said.

”Anyway, we're not in a hurry. We can look around.” While Gu Yunjue's words were still in the air, Ying Lixun came over and said enthusiastically, ”Brother Mu, long time no see.”

As he approached, Mu suddenly remembered that exploded cauliflower and couldn't help smiling with the corner of his mouth curved.

Ying Lixun felt suffocated and nervous as the dangerous air around Mu Chen that he had felt eight years ago came up again. He looked like a good man which actually was his mask for feigning, but in fact he was very lewd and stingy. By virtue of his pill alchemist status, he often deceived some young boys, took their Essence of Yang, and then abandoned them. He had no moral integrity and he might have also practiced some devil cultivations to achieve his goals.

In the last life, Mu Chen killed him because he could not bear to see him harm those young boys and butcher spirit beasts to concoct pills.

Mu Chen still didn't like him in this life even though they had met earlier than in the last life. So he always showed a cold look toward Ying Lixun. Now when he suddenly smiled, Ying Lixun could not help being obsessed with him, feeling that Mu Chen with maturity looked much more charming than those teenagers.

”Hum!”

This cold hum awoke Ying Lixun from his daydream.

Gu Yunjue raised his hand and slapped Ying Lixun who was directly blown off by an overwhelming strand of spirit power. Ying Lixun bumped into the mountain severely. With a loud “BANG”, red dust mixed with blood flew up, splashing on people who could not escape in time. But no one dared to complain. That was exactly how it looked in this world. The strong were respected and the weak were despised. This man could slap a Demigod Stage cultivator away, demonstrating that he was very powerful indeed.

Gu Yunjue touched Mu Chen's smooth hair, which made him feel a little better. His sneer chilled people, ”We don't know you well. Get away. And I don't like your eyes.” If he hadn’t noticed a trace of divine sense left behind by Mu Chen in this person, he would have killed him just now. He did not understand why Master allowed this kind of bastard to be alive.

In fact, Mu Chen just forgot to withdraw the divine sense.

Mu Chen had no intention of stopping his disciple at all. He was even a little relieved that Gu Yunjue had not killed him directly, which meant he was much kinder than before. But this Ying Lixun was not a good man. If this guy dared to do bad things again, he would kill him directly so as to avoid every unnecessary trouble.

Unconsciously, Mu Chen's demands on little disciple became lower and lower.

Some people had wanted to get close and say hello, but now they abandoned this idea and just looked on aside.

Ying Lixun sat down and took several pills to adjust his breath secretly. He closed his eyes to hide his hatred. When he lost to Mu Chen eight years ago, he wanted revenge. This time, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get close to Mu Chen when they arrived at the secret boundary. Unfortunately, he was humiliated by Gu Yunjue and his plan didn’t work.

If he got the chance, he would never let them go!

He suddenly felt hot when he thought of the pills he had got. ‘Mu Chen! Mu Chen!’

Being shocked by Gu Yunjue's slap and strength, no one dared to disturb them in the next few days. Others, however, struggled every day. People fought openly and secretly, guarding against each other. Some early-stage cultivators were even killed. This was the cruelty of this world. To live, they had to compete for resources in a danger of losing their lives at any time.

On the morning of the fourth day, the people of the four Sects arrived at last. This time, the leader of Lofty Cloudy Sect was a second-generation disciple of the main peak, who wasn’t familiar with Mu Chen. After greeting Mu Chen, the leader took a rest aside, appearing to be very serious.

Finally, half a month later, when the sun set, clouds were burning like fire and the boundary between heaven and earth was blurred, leaving only a fascinating red.

Four black whirlpools appeared in the red clouds—the gates of the secret boundary, opened!

At the same time, a black stele rose quietly from the top of the hill, with three words written on it: Heaven Fire Boundary!

A hint of mockery flicked in Mu Chen's eyes as he watched the cultivators rushing into the secret boundary. Among these four gates, there was only one leading to life and the other three to death. Who knows what the gates they were rushing in would lead them to?

Gu Yunjue chuckled softly. His smile looked evil and dangerous. He seemed to have found something interesting again and watched people fly into the secret boundary. He himself was not in a hurry at all.

Almost everyone had gone. Mu Chen asked, ”Which one shall we enter?”

”A road that no one has ever traveled.” Gu Yunjue pulled Mu Chen and instantly arrived at the top of the hill and landed next to the stele.

”Heaven Fire Boundary...” Mu Chen looked at the lower right corner of the stele and wondered, ”Is it related to the Heaven and Earth Bell?”

”Eh?”

”Look at this, isn’t it like Heaven Bell?” Mu Chen waved his sleeve and cut off a stone in front of the stele, revealing the full extent of it.

Gu Yunjue frowned. In the last life, as soon as he was thrown out of here, the secret boundary collapsed, so he didn't notice this pattern at all. At this point, it did look like the Heaven and Earth Bell, except that there was one more pattern on it than those on the Heaven Bell.

”Anyway, just go in and see.” Gu Yunjue's eyes turned slightly dark and he felt that there was something he hadn't found in this place.

Looking at Mu Chen, who was curious, Gu Yunjue put his arms around his waist and exhorted him, ”From now on, Master, you must listen to me.”

Mu Chen nodded. Little disciple was more familiar with this place. For safety’s sake, he should be the director.

Gu Yunjue struck at the stele. After the stele was broken, a black hole appeared silently—this was the real gate leading to life, the others in the sky were only baits. This secret boundary was actually a place for inheritance. This was where he got the Soul Devil Cultivation!

The moment they jumped down, Mu Chen opened his eyes wide in surprise and asked incredulously, ”How can this be?!”

He couldn't awake any glimmer of his spirit power!

Gu Yunjue held Mu Chen tightly in his arms as they landed and brushed against his ears with his nose smilingly. Romantic air-flow stirred Mu Chen's sensitive nerves. Gu Yunjue's voice was low, husky and alluring, ”Because this is the Road of the Ordinary. On this road, all spirit power will be suppressed. You and I are two ordinary mortals right here. Master, you’re finally in my hands.”

Mu Chen, ”...”
