Chen Tiandao’s Backup Plan

Zhuge Xiaosheng cautioned, “Mu Yu, Grandmaster would not leave anything trivial behind. You may very well lose your seat.”

Mu Yu smiled. “I’m not so sure about that.”

“Mu Yu, this is not a joke.”

“I’m not joking.”

Since Mu Yu did not seem bothered, Zhuge Xiaosheng took out the jade piece that Chen Tiandao entrusted to him with a gambler’s attitude. Zhuge Xiaosheng transferred white formation lines into the jade piece, bringing it to life.

“Third Heaven Palace is up to no good. Mu Yu can be trusted.”

Mu Yu smiled to himself as he saw Chen Tiandao, one of the few people Mu Yu could not imagine himself catching up to, emerge. Though Chen Tiandao entrusted Mu Yu with Formation-Talisman Sect, he knew what sort of challenge Mu Yu would face. The jade piece was there to help Mu Yu when he wanted to persuade others to join his campaign.

Chen Tiandao turned to Mu Yu as though he knew the latter was there. “Formation Sect is now in your hands. If it falls, it is Formation Sect’s destiny to fall. Nonetheless, it’s better to perish than live in a lie. Sword Shadow Dust Gale and Eternally Youthful Ku Mu trust you. I, therefore, also trust you,” expressed Chen Tiandao, regarding everyone and then returning to the jade piece.

Zhuge Xiaoshengs saluted Mu Yu. “I am at your command, Patriarch.”

“I am at your command, Patriarch.” Lu Deyi and Mu Chenghong also saluted.

Mu Yu pulled the three up. “I can now tell you the true story behind Third Heaven Palace.”

***

Daoist Yuan De, curled up in a corner, kept on muttering, “I’m not a coward” to himself. The harder he tried to recall his memories, the more his head ached.

Standing beside Mu Yu, Yao Wuji recounted, “Martial Uncle personally stopped Junior Sister when she fought her way to Shi Dengtian because no one could stop her. Martial Uncle regrets letting Senior Brother Leave. When he went out with his wife in the past, he blamed himself for her death at the jaws of fiend beasts because he left her for a while. Those two incidents are why Junior Sister won’t forgive him.

“When he stopped her from killing Shi Dengtian, Junior sister said, ‘Mother died because you left. Ku Mu also died because you left. You were too scared to kill the fiend beast, and now you’re stopping me from avenging Ku Mu. You’re nothing but a coward!’ He wanted to stop Junior Sister from leaving, but he could not. To be fair, he was only a Body Severing Realm cultivator. He had no clue which fiend beast killed his wife as all that was left behind was frayed clothing and bloodstains.”

Mu Yu went and patted Daoist Yuan De on the shoulder. “You’re not a coward. I’ll handle Ku Mu’s death. It’s not something for you to loathe yourself for.”

Daoist Yuan De looked up at Mu Yu with eye juice, sobbing, “I’m not a coward. I’m not…”

“You’re not a coward. You’re a good man,” Mu Yu assured, taking hold of Daoist Yuan De’s hand. “Alchemist Yao, I have a favour I would like to ask for your help with.”

“I will do my best.”

Mu Yu flicked a hand, casting Divine Soul Formation on Yao Wuji. “Sorry, Alchemist Yao, but I don’t have a choice.”

Yao Wuji had to return to Pill Cauldron Sect. As for sharing information on Third Heaven Palace, he and Mu Yu were not as close as Mu Yu was with Formation Sect’s upper echelon, so it was not a risk Mu Yu was willing to take. The plan, consequently, was to forge some memories and have Yao Wuji spread some news. For the meantime, Mu Yu decided to keep Daoist Yuan De away from Pill Cauldron Sect for his own safety.

“Patriarch, take care of your injuries. Don’t get involved with any events pertaining to the cultivation world starting from now. Don’t recruit disciples and don’t leave Formation Sect no matter what. In fact, seal the sect off. Formation Palace and Formation-Talisman Stone are barriers Third Heaven Palace can’t bypass,” Mu Yu directed.

“Understood,” Zhuge Xiaosheng responded.

“Mu Yu, be careful at Pill Cauldron Sect,” stressed Lu Deyi.

“You’ve never let me down,” Mu Chenghong complimented.

Mu Yu regarded Mu Chenghong with a smile, then told Lu Deyi, “Greater Heaven Caster Lu, don’t hurt Daoist Yuan De. He’s a victim of Third Heaven Palace as you were a victim of Zhou Jinglin. Take care of him, and keep his survival a secret.”

“I understand.” Lu Deyi no longer harboured animosity toward Daoist Yuan De.

As Mu Yu turned around, Mu Chenghong questioned, “You sure you do not want to see your brother?”

“You didn’t tell him the truth, did you?” Mu Yu knew Muy Hao could not accept the truth.

“I have not divulged your identity. He keeps asking who you are and wants to know your origins. He believes you are mankind’s hero and is waiting for you to subdue the elemental demons as humankind’s leader.”

“… I’m no hero.”

“He will find out the truth one day.”

“I know.”
