My Master Disconnected Yet Again Chapter 687 – High Level Cooperation

Yi Qing and Lonemoon flew quickly. In a flash, they arrived at Nameless Mountain. Before they landed, they heard a loud crash and saw the entire mountain vibrate. A sliver of white light shone forth from the ground. They detected faint sword Qi in the light, like there had just been an explosion..

“It’s the sword array!” Lonemoon shouted. It was then that they remembered that when they left the mountain, Zuo Two Bucks was still inside the sword array.

The two of them looked on. Indeed, the ten-level sword array that Lonemoon had set up was destroyed. In fact, the huge force caused half the peak to be destroyed. All the sword Qi in the array was a mess. At the base of the mountain sat a ball of demonic Qi. Inside stood a figure with wounds all over his body. He was hanging on for his life, refusing to allow the demonic Qi all around him to swallow him.

It was Zuo Two Bucks!

Lonemoon started. He no longer cared about hiding his own cultivation level. He immediately waved his fan, causing it to turn into a spirit sword. With one wave of the sword, he caused all the demonic Qi around them to dissipate. He summoned spirit Qi to gather around Zuo Shuming, and used it to carry him out of the grips of the demonic Qi.

Yi Qing moved fast as well. The moment Lonemoon acted, Yi Qing activated his True Phoenix Fire and mixed together with his own sword Qi, before shooting the mixture toward the demonic Qi. The demonic Qi was forced to retreat into a small ball. Slowly, Shu Yi’s body appeared

“Hey, you’re still alive?” Lonemoon patted Zuo Two Bucks, who was covered in blood. Then, he sent a thread of immortal Qi into his body to activate Little Biao’s scale within. A moment later, immortal Qi surrounded Zuo Shuming’s body. His wounds began to heal before their very eyes.

His vision focused slowly. Recognising the person in front of him, he muttered, “Brother… Lonemoon?”

Lonemoon heaved a sigh of relief. It’s a good thing they arrived in time.

“Uncle-Master Yi Qing!” Yu Luan and the other elders finally arrived. They saw the scene of destruction in front of them, then looked toward Shu Yi above. Immediately, they halted. Some of them were obviously in disbelief. “Shu… Yi?!”

She no longer looked like the obedient disciple she was before. Perhaps the demonic Qi had finally gotten to her. There were demonic scars on her face. From time to time, her body even released demonic Qi. She no longer looked like a cultivator. Instead, she looked like half a demon. It was terrifying. Even looking from afar caused chills to run down their spines.

“It’s you again!” Shu Yi glared at Yi Qing in front of her. She seemed enraged that she had failed again to kill Zuo Shuming. Yet, thinking about the fire that she had almost been hit with caused her to tremble.

[Ding! Warning, murder mission failed. Original owner’s grievous energy has reached 95! If it rises to 100, the mission will be an utter failure.]

The familiar sound of the system was heard once again.

“Shut up! I know!” Shu Yi was getting anxious. Angered, she growled, “If Zuo Shuming had not been hiding in that sword array, I would not have to spend such a long time trying to kill him. He would have been dead by now.”

[What should we do now, Host?] 001 was beginning to sound quite panicked. [Why not we just give up the mission? The original owner’s grievous energy levels are too high. They wouldn’t be reduced even if we manage to kill Zuo Shuming.]

“No!” Shu Yi answered immediately. “The mission aside – I’ve already wasted so many years n this plane. I wouldn’t rest if I don’t kill him!”

[But, Host…]

“Say no more. We can’t do anything about the original owner’s grievous energy values anymore, but it might still be possible to kill this man.” Shu Yi lowered her gaze as she tried to suppress the anger she was feeling within. Her expression turned calm.

Yu Luan stepped forward. “Shu Yi! You betrayed the sect and became so unfilial that you did not even spare your own father! You colluded with a bunch of fiendish cultivators to come and attack our Gui Yi Sect too! What you’ve done is unforgivable. Uncle-Master Yi Qing has already taken Tian Ji down. You’re all alone now with no support. Why are you not surrendering!”

“You want to catch me?” Shu Yi laughed mirthlessly, completely unafraid. The demonic Qi around her began to stir. “Let’s just wait and see if you have what it takes.” With that, she struck a blow to the ground.

Demonic Qi began to flow out of the ground and spread all around. The entire Nameless Mountain was shaking again. Huge cracks appeared all over the ground and black demonic Qi flowed out of those cracks, toward the group.

“Quick, mount your swords!” Lonemoon shouted. He grabbed Zuo Two Bucks and flew off the ground. These were mere mortals after all. They could not be allowed to come into contact with demonic Qi.

All the elders hesitated for a moment before they understood what was going on. One by onoe, they summoned their dharmic weapons and began to fly off the ground. Suddenly, black Qi appeared beneath their feet and a black array formed around them. They felt all the spirit Qi leave their bodies. It was almost as if someone was wringing them dry. Not only were they unable to fly off the ground, they were pinned to the spot. It was obvious that Shu Yi had already set up a Binding Array where they were.

Everybody in the group was about to run out of spirit Qi. Even their cultivation levels were beginning to look unstable. Yi Qing frowned and flicked the sword in his hand. Immediately, a huge amount of sword Qi struck the ground. It landed on top of the array with a loud crash. The array that was made of demonic Qi was broken apart. Everybody relaxed slightly.

“Hmph! Stupid!” Shu Yi suddenly laughed mirthlessly. She no longer cared whether Yi Qing broke her array. Instead, she took the chance to turn around and fly toward the peak of the mountain.

It was then that everyone realised she had only set up the array to distract them. Immediately, they followed her.

But she was not trying to escape Gui Yi Sect. Instead, she charged into a yard on the peak of the mountain and grabbed a certain someone from the table. She strangled her and said loudly, “Don’t come nearer, or I’m going to kill her!”

“Shu Yi!” Zuo Shuming shouted. He no longer cared about the wounds he had on his body. Instead, he shouted angrily and anxiously, “What are you doing?! Let Lady Shen go!”

“Let her go?” Shu Yi responded in a chilling tone. “Do you think I’m stupid? Do you think I’m going to let this bargaining chip go so easily?”

“Shu Yi..” Zuo Shuming took another two steps forward and said anxiously. “I don’t know why you want to kill me, but Lady Shen is only an ordinary person. The feud between us has nothing to do with her!”

“Shu Yi.” Yu Luan lowered his voice. “Don’t carry on with our mistakes. Why are you getting an innocent life involved?”

“An innocent life?” Shu Yi lowered her gaze and laughed once again. “If she really is just an ordinary person, why would you all be so nervous? Don’t think I don’t know about her identity. She’s the master of that sword cultivator. You want to save her? Sure!” She narrowed her eyes and glared at Zuo Shuming, her gaze full of evil intent. “Kill him immediately, and I’ll consider!”

Everybody turned to look at Zuo Shuming. Zuo Shuming stiffened.

Shu Yi laughed even louder and turned to look at Chef, gloating. “Supremacy Yi Qing, think clearly about this. You have the true fire and you’re not afraid of demonic Qi, but you can’t say the same for her. If you help me to kill Zuo Shuming, and destroy all of Gui Yi Sect, I promise nothing will happen to your master!”

Yi Qing: “…”

Lonemoon: “…”

F*cking retard!

Shen Ying, who was still being held by the neck, looked around at everyone. She scanned the anxious crowd, then took another bite of her fruit nonchalantly.

Speaking of which… Was she supposed to act along? After all, this girl did look like she was having the time of her life.
