Chapter 838 The Old Faker’s Appearance

Li Mu felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

He stood frozen to the spot in the void, as if a halt spell had been cast on him. Other than moving his eyes, he couldn’t do anything else.

“Master, you’re finally here. Boohoo...”

Cloud Light Saintess rushed to her master, bawling her eyes out.

She was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

A beautiful woman wearing a long dress and a white veil appeared in the air.

She was covered in a haze of ethereal “fairy air” and her beautiful figure seemed like an illusion. Divine halos flashed behind her head, and even the s.p.a.ce and light rays around her seemed distorted, making her look like a supreme creature from a superior world.

“Alas, my poor child. You were such a proud girl. This time, you suffered a great deal. I think you may consider it as a lesson for you,” the mysterious beautiful woman said.

“Master, I...” Cloud Light Saintess lowered her head. “Master, I’m sorry for having let you down.”

“As the saying goes, ‘Rough seas make stronger sailors’. A smooth life will never make you become a real strong person. Li Mu was your whetstone. You didn’t perform well in breaking this hurdle. Think about it carefully and stop crying.”

The beautiful woman’s tone became sterner.

Cloud Light Saintess seemed to be in awe of the beautiful woman. She immediately wiped away her tears.

“Master, did you arrive here a long time ago?” she asked cautiously.

The beautiful woman said, “I wanted to observe you in secret and see how you would react in the face of adversity and if you could adapt yourself accordingly and reverse the situation, but unfortunately, your performance was a great disappointment to me... Do you still remember the rules of the Cloud Clan?”

Actually, she received her disciple’s message asking for help a long time ago.

Given her high cultivation level and magical powers, as long as she determined the rough coordinates of her disciple’s location, she could get there within several seconds. How could she have arrived so late? She didn’t show up because she had been observing her disciple secretly in the hope that the latter would take the opportunity to learn something.

Cloud Light Saintess had been leading a very easy life in the Cloud Clan all this time and had never suffered any setbacks. That was very unfavorable for her to practice martial arts and improve her state of mind. She needed to experience a tribulation. Only by overcoming this tribulation could she stand up and develop a stronger mindset.

The beautiful woman wanted her disciple to become stronger.

Upon hearing those words, Cloud Light Saintess immediately realized which rule her master was talking about.

The look on her face suddenly changed.

“Any female disciple of the Cloud Clan whose body is seen or touched by any man shall kill the man. If she couldn’t kill the man... Master, no matter what happens, I would never marry a lowly mortal like Li Mu. Master, let me kill him.”

Cloud Light Saintess was determined.

The beautiful woman asked, “Have you thought it over?”

Cloud Light Saintess ground her teeth. “I can’t wait to skin him alive, dismember him into ten thousand pieces, eat his flesh, and drink his blood... Master, you have no idea how despicable and shameless that b.a.s.t.a.r.d is!”

The beautiful woman nodded and said approvingly, “Well, you’re right. A lowly mortal is indeed not worthy of you. You are the G.o.ddess of the Nine Heavens and will be a promising candidate for the position of immortal queen after the Celestial Court is rebuilt. How can you abandon yourself to vice? It’s very good that you’ve made a wise choice.”

Cloud Light Saintess was elated to hear that. She said, “Thank you so much, master.”

The beautiful woman raised her hand.

An executioner’s sword appeared in front of her. It was rusty, but it gave off a strong evil vibe. The mottled red marks on it were the bloodstains of holy demons. The desperate cries and screams of the demons and deities killed by this sword seemed to be audible.

The temperature between heaven and earth suddenly dropped by tens of degrees.

“This long sword is called the ‘G.o.d-killing Sword’. Back then, it was used as an execution weapon on the execution ground of the Celestial Court. It has killed countless formidable creatures, including demon G.o.ds, human immortals, and the members of the Deity Clan... Its evil spirit can break any strong body in the world. You can use this sword to behead that mortal and wash away your shame.”

The beautiful woman explained.

The sword flew into Cloud Light Saintess’s hand.

“Thank you, master.”

She was overjoyed.

With a murderous look on her face, she held the sword in her hand, turned around, and walked toward Li Mu, who was nailed in the air.

“You despicable son of a b*tch. You’re destined to die at my hands in the end.”

She gloated triumphantly as she deliberately approached Li Mu slowly. She was trying to exert psychological pressure on Li Mu and destroy his willpower.

Li Mu grew anxious.

“This is so f*cking unfair. It’s simply because I’ve been tied up and waiting to get beaten.

“If I were to die this way, it could be called the most miserable death in history.”

“You didn’t expect this, did you? This is the destiny of you mortals. It’s just wishful thinking to resist the almighty G.o.ds who rule everything.”

Cloud Light Saintess came closer to Li Mu.

She pointed her sword at Li Mu’s heart, throat, eyeball, glabella... She deliberately moved her sword up and down while sneering at him. “Do you want me to p.r.i.c.k your eyes or puncture your heart first? He-he, as long as you beg me, I will let you have a quick death...”

That was a kind of mental torture for Li Mu.

His power surged through his body wildly, but it was futile.

He was shackled by the power of the laws.

That was a kind of power several times greater than his. Given his current cultivation level, it was impossible for him to resist that power. In the face of that power, he was like a grain of sand compared to Mount Tai.

“Hey, how about this? I’m going to carve a line of words that reads ‘despicable b.a.s.t.a.r.d Li Mu’ on your face first. What do you think?” Cloud Light Saintess was very vicious. She pressed the tip of her sword against Li Mu’s face to humiliate him.

The beautiful woman in the distance had no intention of stopping her disciple.

She knew that her disciple was trying to repair her Taoist Heart broken by the battle with Li Mu and regain her self-confidence in this way. Although she had nailed Li Mu in place with her magical skills, she believed that he was just a mortal of no importance and deserved to die, even though he was quite powerful.

Moreover, it would be best if the Divine Clans could benefit from his death.

With a stir of her mind, the beautiful woman relaxed her control over Li Mu.

Li Mu suddenly found that he could speak now.

“B*tch, you should fight me one on one if you have the guts. Even if you could kill me relying on the power of the older generation, you would always be a loser...”

Li Mu let loose a torrent of abuse.

“d.a.m.n it. I have no choice but to take my chances by enraging her.

“What’s happened has driven her crazy. Hopefully, she will lose her mind.”

“Ha-ha, only the dead are the losers, and the living are always the winners.” Cloud Light Saintess scoffed. “There are many ways to defeat you, and I’m just using one of them. You lowly b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Now, you should understand what background, power, and lowliness are.”

“What the f*ck! She didn’t fall for my trick.”

Li Mu was a little dumbfounded.

“Is this woman out of her mind?

“Am I really going to die today?”

“As a senior from a Divine Clan of the Celestial Court, you do not care about your own reputation and have decided to help your disciple deal with a junior. Are you not afraid of being laughed at by others?”

Li Mu changed his tactics and began to sneer at the beautiful woman.

“Let me try my trick on another target.

“I have to use all my resources in such a desperate situation.”

The beautiful woman smiled faintly without any emotion and said, “There is no one else here. Who will laugh at me? What’s more, you are worse than a worm in my eyes. You don’t deserve to call yourself my junior.”

“d.a.m.n you! You old woman.”

Li Mu was at his wit’s end.

“Ha-ha-ha, you’d better give up the struggle, you little b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You’ll surely die today.” Cloud Light Saintess laughed wildly as she p.r.i.c.ked at one of Li Mu’s eyes with the tip of her sword. “I’ve decided to gouge out your eyes first.”

The tip of the sword reached Li Mu’s eye.

Clang!

The sound of metal hitting metal rang out.

The tip of the sword broke.

“Huh?”

Cloud Light Saintess was shocked, thinking that she was hallucinating. She rubbed her eyes and then thrust her sword with all her might.

Clang!

Another section of the G.o.d-killing Sword was broken.

This time, she was sure that she was not hallucinating.

Shocked, she subconsciously turned around and glanced at her master.

The beautiful woman was even more shocked than Cloud Light Saintess.

“Did his eyeball break the G.o.d-killing Sword?

“How could it be possible?”

She vaguely understood something. The look on her face changed. “Yun’er, retreat immediately.”

Cloud Light Saintess reacted quickly. In a flash, she retreated to her master’s side with the broken G.o.d-killing Sword in her hand.

“Which master is secretly a.s.sisting this mortal? Why don’t you show yourself and confirm my guess?” The beautiful woman created a magic protective domain and looked around warily.

A languid, boorish voice rang out.

“The crying slug who used to follow Yun Wuxiang around has become the lord of the Cloud Clan. Has Yun Wuxiang already died?”

A shadow loomed behind Li Mu.

Although Li Mu could not move, he almost jumped up.

“This voice is so unique. He must be the old faker!

“He finally showed up.

“This old fella is finally here. Did he stop his hand-to-hand meditation?”

“You...” The beautiful woman stared at the shadow behind Li Mu and froze for a moment. Then, she suddenly thought of something and her face changed drastically. A look of fear and awe appeared on her face. She said, “You are that... senior... You... Are you... Senior Yu?”

She stuttered.

“He-he, can you still recognize me?” the old faker asked.

...

By this time, the look on the beautiful woman’s face had undergone a myriad of changes. She set aside her pride and sense of superiority and obediently bowed to the old faker like a chicken seeing an old hen. “Senior Yu, back then... How could I forget you? Nice to see you, Senior Yu.”

“Now that you still remember me, how dare you threaten my successor like that?” The old faker’s tone of voice changed, a far cry from his previous chuckle.

“Well...” The look on the beautiful woman’s face changed once again, and her eyes were full of fear. She couldn’t help stuttering.

A series of thoughts flashed through her mind. She hurriedly explained to the old faker. “I really did not know that he is your successor. I was angry when I saw my disciple being bullied and humiliated by him, and I didn’t think much about it. Please forgive me, Senior Yu. You are an eternal deity. I believe that you won’t blame me and my disciple because of that.”

“He-he, you little girl. Now that you can recognize me, you should know that you can’t deceive me just by saying a few words. He-he, the little trick that you played on me was something pa.s.sed down by your master back then. Even your master was beaten by me so badly that he begged for mercy, let alone you...”

The old faker’s voice sounded unkind and boorish.

The beautiful woman’s face suddenly turned ashen.

She knew what the shadow in front her represented, so she naturally knew how terrifying this old man was. Back then, he wreaked havoc in the celestial palace and almost destroyed the Celestial Court. Many members of the six clans, major sects, divine branches, palaces, and the Heavenly River were defeated by him.

He was simply a big troublemaker for the Celestial Court.

“So many years have pa.s.sed, but he is still alive. I didn’t expect that. It’s said that he already... What am I supposed to do now?”

“Senior... Senior Yu, it’s my fault. I’m willing to accept the punishment.” The beautiful woman bowed her head, feeling humiliated.

“Master?”

Cloud Light Saintess couldn’t understand it. In a state of shock, she turned her head and looked at her master, who she thought was the almighty ruler of everything.

The old faker said, “Humph! Why don’t you release my successor?”

The beautiful woman hurriedly removed the magical power that restricted Li Mu’s movements.

Li Mu was able to move now.

He looked back and found the old faker’s shadow floating in the s.p.a.ce behind him and a solemn look that he had never seen before appeared on the latter’s face, which usually had either an indecent or playful expression. That look was very weird. He didn’t know if he had such an impression because of his own psychological factors.

“Well, I won’t go too far. How about this? My successor happens to need a girl who can serve him. I find your disciple quite good for that role. Can you let her stay by my successor’s side?”

The old faker rubbed his chin as he spoke.

“Huh?”

Li Mu was a little dumbfounded.

“Does he mean that... he wants Cloud Light Saintess to be my servant?

“His idea is really... too absurd.”
