Soul Seal
“He ca prepared!” cursed Gui Mohan, watching Mu Yu jump into another teleportation formation when he arrived in the cavern’s formation.
Since teleportation formations could only teleport a subject within a fixed distance, Mu Yu littered the path to Ghost Gate with them. He set the formations up to lead to a specific location, but Gui Mohan’s rage blinded him.
Upon arriving in a forest with a green ceiling, Gui Mingze opined, “Patriarch, I have an uneasy feeling. If he is Mu Yu, we have no ans of capturing him while he is in a forest.”
“Whatever tricks he has up his sleeve, we must capture him!” thundered Gui Mohan, running his enraged eyes over the forest. What he did not ntion was his desire to capture Mu Yu for Third Heaven Palace’s reward.
Upon detecting another formation in the forest activate, Gui Huanyin cried, “He ran again!”
“After him!”
Once the trio set foot into the formation, and it lit up, they looked up to see Mu Yu standing on a branch.
“I’ve fulfilled my duty as your navigator. Have a fun trip.”
Mu Yu, who fabricated the impression that he jumped through the formation, destroyed the last formation once the trio were teleported. “The rest is on you, Patriarch.”
Mu Yu subsequently started jumping through the formations that led back to the now defenceless Ghost Gate!

“Greetings, Elder.”
“Where is Uncle Houyang?”
Tian Zhengxin answered, “He is currently in the palace with Patriarch and Ancestor Xingzhou.”
Right when Zhuge Xiaosheng was panicking over how to proceed, Tian Jiancheng greeted, “Greetings, Patriarch, Elder Houyang.”
Zhuge Xiaosheng cursed in his mind, Why did Tian Jiancheng have to show up now of all tis?!
Zhuge Xiaosheng rolled up his fingers, ready to stake his life on what little chances he had if it ca down to it.
“Tian Jiancheng, what are you doing here?” Tian Yuehen aggressively asked.
“I accompanied Uncle Houyang back here after Gui Xiaochen attacked him at Martial Hill City.”
What is he talking about? Zhuge Xiaosheng wondered.
“Uncle Boyang, what happened to your soul seal? Or, are you n-”
Tian Jiancheng lifted Zhuge Xiaosheng’s hand for so reason. “Patriarch, when Uncle Boyang was hurt, he happened to take damage to his hand. When I nursed his wounds, I discovered the seal had moved up to his arm.”
Zhuge Xiaosheng rolled up his sleeve upon sensing a faint trace of energy travel up his arm. There on his arm was a thumb-sized white image of Ultimate Immortals Monunt, which resembled the one on the back of Tian Yuehen’s left hand.
Zhuge Xiaosheng put aside his questions and fronted, “That is what happened.”
Tian Yuehen scrutinised the seal until he was satisfied. “I will speak to Ghost Gate about this attack. I need to have a word with Uncle Xingzhou now.”
Zhuge Xiaosheng suggested, “Patriarch, Senior Brother Xingzhou told he would be out in two more hours. I think we should leave him be until then.”
“… All right, I’ll be back in two hours.”
Once Tian Yuehen left, Zhuge Xiaosheng inquired, “Who are you? Why did you help ?”
“I just learnt from Master about the soul seals for identification. Luckily, I knew you are Zhuge Xiaosheng and made it in ti.”
Zhuge Xiaosheng rolled up his sleeve to witness the white seal turn blue and disappear. “This isn’t a soul seal. You managed to fool Tian Yuehen?”
“Patriarch Zhuge, it is ti for you to complete your task.”
Even though it shook Zhuge Xiaosheng to think about the risk posed, he headed back into the palace.

Upon opening their eyes after a shaky journey, Ghost Gate’s trio found themselves in a palace, Tian Xingzhou standing at the centre.
“Mu Yu, you’re finished!”
Gui Mohan exclaid, “Wait! He’s not Mu Yu; he doesn’t have any cultivat-”
Sadly, Gui Huanyin could not stop herself in ti, resulting in her ghost monster plunging its hand through Tian Xingzhou’s heart.
Tian Xingzhou’s eyes flew open. “Gui Mohan, how dare you infiltrate Celestial Star S-”
Everyone in Celestial Star Sect heard Tian Xingzhou’s every word for Zhuge Xiaosheng amplified the forr’s volu with a formation.
“No! Senior Brother! Senior Brother!” cried Zhuge Xiaosheng, running to Tian Xingzhou’s body on the ground. Turning up his volu for everyone on the sect grounds to hear, Zhuge Xiaosheng blustered, “Ghost Gate, Celestial Star Sect will make you pay for this!”
