Chapter 97: His successor or his descendant? (1)
Translator: Claire.KK
Heaven Bell and Earth Bell finally met, and their bodies emitted white lights on their gathering, after which a complicated pattern grew up on them. Then they flew back to their masters respectively with their ability recovered. In other words, the previous problems on them were all fixed.
Gu Yunjue’s Heaven Bell changed into the look as inscribed in the stone monument of the secrete boundary in Green Red Valley, which was Protection Soul Bell’s original shape.
With a move in his mind, Gu then sent his soul into the bell to check the space inside, and found out the missing part had been made up, and the dying fruit trees finally showed some vitality.
Mu Chen was checking his bell’s ability too, and discovered the space in it. Mu Chen’s soul searched around and met Gu’s soul. Mu Chen suddenly recalled the fight against the Devil Lord, when his disciple shut him up in a space and Mu couldn’t break the boundary. Now Mu Chen knew he was kept here then.
Sensed Mu Chen’s killing intent, Gu Yunjue smiled and said invitingly, ”Should there be any change, you could keep me in twice.”
Mu Chen snorted and retreated.
The cultivator fulfilled his mission and he was leaving as his body became transparent.
Mu Chen suddenly remembered the picture on secret boundary’s stone wall and couldn't help but ask, ”Does the soul of Earth Bell’s original master still exist?”
”I don’t know.”
”The man had been looking for him for a long time. Should his soul know it, he should be relieved a bit.”
The cultivator was originally indifferent and suddenly showed some doubts when he heard the words. He then turned to look at Gu Yunjue carefully. “You’ve accepted his inheritance? Are you his successor? Or you’re his descendant?”
Gu Yunjue exercised Soul Devil Cultivation and showed devil power to the man. ”You shall ask my ancestors. How do I know my... OUCH!”
Mu Chen wore a cold face and elbowed the disciple in his stomach for not talking nicely. And Gu closed his mouth with pain.
The man then looked at Mu Chen, and asked with surprise in his eyes, ”What is your family name?”
Mu Chen said faintly, ”His family name is Gu, and mine is Mu. None of us know things about our ancestors, so we cannot answer your questions.”
The man nodded and said to himself, ”No wonder you two could come here. You are their descendants.” After the words, his figure gradually disappeared. When Gu Yunjue raised his hand to stop the man, Mu Chen stopped Gu and said, ”Forget it. He had been here for so many years. Let him go.”
Gu Yunjue looked at place where the man disappeared and grumbled, ”He hasn't told us if the soul exists or not.”
”What I care most is his last sentence. We are the descendants of whom?”
Gu Yunjue smiled and grabbed Mu Chen’s hands. “Our ancestors got entangled in romance, so we must be together.”
Mu Chen raised his eyebrows and said in a cold voice, ”Got entangled? One of them were dead and the other ascended to the God Realm. They were not together in the end. The most annoying thing is that the two had children with others.” Mu Chen said and pointed to Gu Yunjue, and himself. They were evidence of the misery.
Gu Yunjue laughed and found his master exceptionally cute as he was inexplicably entangled in such problems. Gu then explained patiently, ”The descendants are not necessarily born by themselves. They could have brothers and we might be offspring of other collateral branches.”
Mu Chen frowned and found Gu’s explanation make sense.
”Ok. Don't worry about the problem. Let's go out.”
”How could we go out?”
Mu Chen looked around and didn't see any way out.
At the moment, Heaven and Earth Protection Soul Bell flew up automatically with Earth Bell leading and Heaven Bell following. Both Mu and Gu received a reminder in their mind from the bells, “Keep up!”
The two exchanged a look and followed the bells. The exit turned to be the same magic formation on the tree.
Feng Jiuli was meditating under the tree and noticed that some people were coming down. Feng opened his eyes instantly. Seeing that Mu Chen landed and looked at him with murderous intent, Feng raised his eyebrows with doubts. Feng couldn’t understand why Mu Chen smiled at him when Mu Chen left but now wanted to kill him when the two returned. “It’s said that a woman’s face changes faster than a book flips. It is same with men?”
Mu Chen snorted and looked aside, demonstrating no desire to communicate with others.
Gu Yunjue nodded at Feng Jiuli to show that they got the bell.
”I didn't expect you two come back alive. It’s interesting.” Feng Jiuli looked with interest at the bells following the two. Feng’s intention was to see if the two, who had violated Heaven’s arrangement, could come out alive. To his surprise, one’s destiny could be disobeyed.
”Since you’ve taken my thing, are you going to leave something for me?” Feng Jiuli stood up and asked thoughtfully.
Mu Chen’s face suddenly changed and he pulled Gu Yunjue behind him. Mu said with murderous intent, ”I can give you a thing, but it’s impossible to give you a man!”
Feng Jiuli’s lips twitched and he said, “You’ve thought too much. I’ll keep anything but me. I want to live longer.”
Seeing Feng’s reply, Mu Chen eased, and showed that they could talk.
