Dao Bo!
Dao Xiong!
Ma Ma Di let out a wry smile. Although he was Jiu Shu's senior brother, he knew that in terms of ability, ten Ma Ma Dis wouldn't be as good as half a Yi Mei.
Recalling Jiu Shu's several attempts to speak, only to be silenced by Mu Chen's casual wave of his hand, Ma Ma Di felt like a clown.
The person Yi Mei treated with such care, he had actually dared to speak so presumptuously…
Mu Chen looked down at Ma Ma Di, who was slumped in the chair, his eyes deep and penetrating: “Leaning on Maoshan has bred a whole host of bad habits in you. You act recklessly, prioritizing your own comfort… You think you're being elevated when you're not even human!”
“You're a beast who has no idea what shame is. You take money but don't do your job. How dare you sit before me?!”
Mu Chen's words pierced his heart. As soon as he spoke, his spiritual energy surged.
Ma Ma Di felt an immense pressure coming from all directions, like a mountain weighing down on him, suffocating him, threatening to crush his bones!
PANG~!
The wooden chair Ma Ma Di was sitting on groaned under the pressure and finally splintered.
Ma Ma Di slumped to the ground, blood pouring from his mouth.
He looked up at Mu Chen in disbelief, as if he had realized something, his eyes filled with intense fear: “You… you dare kill me? Aren't you afraid of Maoshan's retribution?!”
“Why wouldn't I dare? The sect might tolerate you, but I won't. Remember, I am Chunyangzi of Longhu Mountain. If you want to complain in the afterlife, don't forget my name!”
With every word Mu Chen uttered, Ma Ma Di's body would crack with the sound of broken bones.
When he finished speaking, Ma Ma Di didn't have a single bone left unbroken. His face was contorted in agonizing pain. He was like a puddle of mud, blood and shredded internal organs spewing from his nose and mouth.
Seeing this, Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng were terrified. They had witnessed Mu Chen exorcise ghosts and subdue demons before, but while the feeling of pressure was strong, it was nothing compared to the visual impact of this.
One glance + one sentence ≈ taking the life of their master uncle!!!
A Hao and A Qiang were almost scared to death!
Especially A Hao. He was a master when he entered the sect. Before becoming a disciple, he almost opened his own martial arts school in the provincial capital with his martial arts skills.
He was indeed dissatisfied with Ma Ma Di, but his dissatisfaction stemmed from the fact that he had not learned any real skills yet and Ma Ma Di was making him deliver corpses!
This did not mean he didn't know how powerful Ma Ma Di was. If he could open a martial arts school, why would he need to become a disciple?
Ma Ma Di was only weak compared to the direct disciples of Maoshan. He was far superior to ordinary Yin-Yang masters and independent practitioners.
But in front of Mu Chen?
… It was too scary!
Mu Chen hadn't even lifted a finger, and he was about to… play Ma Ma Di to death!
Jiu Shu looked at the pathetically wailing Ma Ma Di, his eyes filled with deep regret.
He took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Mu Chen, his words sincere to the point of begging: “Dao Xiong, could you please grant Yi Mei a favor and spare his life?”
The destruction of the Longevity Bridge meant the loss of his cultivation.
With the body of a normal person, even if his injuries were healed, he would surely live a short and painful life.
He felt that Ma Ma Di had paid a heavy price for his mistake. It was enough!
Ma Ma Di wailed and screamed, his words filled with fear and panic: “I was wrong! I really know I was wrong! Please spare my life, Dao Xiong, I will make amends for my mistakes!!!”
Mu Chen didn't even look at Jiu Shu, he said calmly: “I've already given you face, but you didn't cherish it.”
Then, he turned to Ma Ma Di: “You're not realizing your mistakes, you're just realizing you're going to die.”
The words fell.
Ma Ma Di's heart meridian ruptured, and he died instantly, his eyes wide open in death.
Mu Chen casually reached out.
A phantom figure, identical to Ma Ma Di, flew out of his body.
“Dao Xiong! Killing is no small matter. My senior brother's mistakes are not worth his soul being scattered and never being able to reincarnate!”
Jiu Shu panicked.
What Mu Chen had summoned was Ma Ma Di's three souls and seven spirits!
This was closely related to reincarnation. If anything happened to them, it would have a negative impact on reincarnation, even preventing it!
But Mu Chen ignored Jiu Shu, reaching into Ma Ma Di's soul and pinching it!
Crack~!
With a sound like breaking pottery, Ma Ma Di's blank face turned idiotic. Seeing this, Mu Chen threw him aside like trash.
“I gave you face, now I'll give Maoshan face…”
“I'm not cutting off his reincarnation, I'm just leaving him with an injury to his Shuang Ling.”
“If Maoshan doesn't know how to appreciate this, I'll wait for you to come to me!”
Mu Chen left these words behind, holding the fox and leading Jing Jing, striding out of the Yi Zhuang.
Jiu Shu watched Mu Chen leave, until he could no longer see him, then turned his gaze to the phantom, dull-eyed Ma Ma Di.
His face was complex as he said: “Ma Ma Di, you really should have picked your fights… Why did you have to provoke him, Chunyangzi…”
“It's also because these years since Master passed away, no one has been able to control you…”
The three souls and seven spirits each have their respective duties.
The three souls are called Heaven, Earth, and Man.
The Earth Soul is also called Shuang Ling.
Shuang Ling controls intelligence and wisdom.
An injury to the Shuang Ling would mean that after reincarnation, the person would be born a congenital idiot. From his perspective, the injury Mu Chen left on the Shuang Ling was neither too serious nor too light. It would affect Ma Ma Di for three lifetimes. The next time he reincarnates, he would most likely be destined to be a village watchman for three lifetimes.
What more could he say about Mu Chen doing this?
Compared to cutting off his reincarnation, this was indeed giving Maoshan face…
Jiu Shu sighed and instructed: “Wen Cai, Qiu Sheng, go get a clay jar. Please let your master uncle reside in it. After the seventh day, Master will open his path to reincarnation for him.”
After Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng left, he turned his gaze to A Hao and A Qiang, whose faces were pale and trembling with fear.
“Don't worry, you two. Since Chunyang Dao Xiong didn't pay any attention to you, it means that your master has already taken responsibility for this. This is the end of it…”
“If you want to leave, go ahead. If you want to continue your cultivation, I can write you a letter and take you to Maoshan to be an outer disciple.”
A Hao and A Qiang looked at each other. Today's events had left them psychologically scarred.
“Master Uncle, we're going to leave. Cultivation is too scary…”
Jiu Shu nodded, not objecting: “Alright, before you leave, Master Uncle will give you a piece of advice. Don't resent Chunyang Dao Xiong, and don't even think about revenge. In this matter… Dao Xiong is right.”
“We understand, Master Uncle!”
A Hao and A Qiang nodded repeatedly. Without Jiu Shu reminding them, they wouldn't dare to have any resentment or thoughts of revenge after witnessing Mu Chen's power.
Not long after A Hao and A Qiang left.
Two people arrived at the Yi Zhuang.
One wore a black and white Daoist robe, his appearance old yet sharp.
A gloomy young man followed behind him.
Seeing this, Jiu Shu didn't dare to be the slightest bit negligent: “Senior Brother!”
The senior brother of Maoshan!
Shi Jian!
He was already a transcendent being who had broken through to the Hauran Di Shi Realm.
He and Jiu Shu were both candidates for the next headmaster, but in terms of Daoist arts, cultivation, connections, and achievements, Shi Jian was clearly superior to Jiu Shu. The headmaster position was a 9 to 1 battle!
Shi Jian held the 9!
Shi Jian's expression was emotionless, his gaze sharp as a blade: “Tell me, why would I sense a fellow disciple's Qi disappearing…”
