Chapter 683 “Can’t Let Her Live (6)”
“Even if you burn me to death, I won’t say it!”
Bloodshot in his eyes, Senior Mu refuses to budge despite imminent death.
“Then so be it!” Not minding this at all, Bai Yan carries out her words by following through with the threat.
Bang!Turning her fist in a mountainous wave of energy, the crushing blow instantly turns the stubborn old fool into mush, killing him with no chance at life in doing so.
“Ooops, I think I just went overboard there…..”
Rubbing that nose of hers in embarrassment, Bai Yan shamefully strode towards the remaining corpse of the foe in order to salvage the situation.
…….
Senior Mu’s last moment before death definitely didn’t feel good, the pain was sharp and crushing. Even so, at least the process was quick and left him free to move onto the afterworld…. Or that’s what he thought until he felt a sharp intense pain ripping at his soul!
And sure enough, by the time he’s managed to adapt to the sunlight in front of himself again, the man was horrified to discover the terrible truth – Bai Yan was indeed tearing at his soul and ripping it from his corpse!
This could no longer be considered a simple act of fear, its downright torture. He’s always thought that after a person’s death, their soul would automatically break away from the flesh, but now he’s being grabbed and ripped away by a human hand?“Now are you going to tell me who instructed you, or do I have to take further measures to make you talk?” Gripping the soul firmly in place with one hand, Bai Yan slowly moves a ball of blue flame with the other to reaffirm her threat.
Monster!
This was the only description he could use to describe Bai Yan’s existence at the moment.
This woman is a monster!
No, she’s more frightening than a monster, she’s a devil!
“I-I will speak….”
When the soul’s about to make contact with that eerie looking flame, the senior’s last ounce of stubbornness had finally crumbled. “I will tell you everything, just keep that fire away from me!”
If it was just material pain then he could still bear it, but its one’s soul, his soul! It’s not common knowledge, but as someone who’s from the Misty Fairy House, Senior Mu understands that damaging a soul meant the pain would manifest by several folds and more depending on the method!
“If you had obeyed from the beginning then none of this would need to happen you know.” All smiles there, Bai Yan squints those foxy eyes to show her mischievous side.
In light of the mesmerizing face in front of himself, Senior Mu only found the woman’s appearance all the more frightening. In fact, the more she smiled, the more his heart trembled.
If I had known her strength would be like this then I would never have resisted….
“The one who sent me to kill you wasn’t Mu Leng…. it’s her shifu Elder Muzhen.”
“Muzhen?” Slightly wrinkling her brow over the name, “Do we have a grudge or something, why would she send an assassin after me?”
“No, you and her do not have a grudge, its Zhongnan and Zhongbei. She has a grudge against the two brothers, that’s why she sent me to kill you in order to get back at them.” Pausing a bit, Senior Mu had to take a short moment to come to terms with revealing the biggest secret. “Muzhen admires the young lord, that’s why she’s jealous of that mundane girl who could get the young lord’s love.”
“…….”
Now this came as quite the surprise for Bai Yan after hearing this explosive news. “But isn’t Muzhen older than the young lord? If I remember correctly, that woman could even be the guy’s mother based on her age group!”
She’s never been much of a discriminatory when it came to one’s age difference, after all, there are plenty of couples out there who are dozens of years apart.
However….
The issue here lies in the fact that Muzhen has a one-sided crush on the poor man, and even went out of her way to go after anyone whom she’s jealous of?
“Yes, it’s a shame that our young lord doesn’t have the right to choose his own love interest.”
“What, are you implying Muzhen could force Yun Feng to marry her or something?” Bai Yan asks, intrigued by the old man’s odd sentence right there.
“It’s not Elder Muzhen who can force the young lord, it’s a goddess from the Celestial Realm who is forcing him.”
Speaking of this goddess, Senior Mu’s attitude immediately took a turn for the better. His eyes were full of admiration and worship when speaking: “That goddess is not only from the Celestial Realm, her position is extremely high as well. Do you know about the war between gods and demons from a millennium ago? They say its all because of her after she captivated the leaders of both sides.”
