A lump stuck in my throat, as an invisible hand was already choking my neck. Looking at the man, his body remained motionless, but his lips curved into a strange arc: “Did you think that by hiding your immortal aura, I wouldn’t know you’re an immortal?”
I stared at him in shock. Even Qing Yuan and Mu Yin couldn’t recognize me after I transformed into a mortal body, yet he knew. Looking at his face filled with a cold and ruthless air, I suddenly remembered – I’ve seen this person before!
Mu Chuan!
I clearly remembered how he killed me back then, but the image imprinted in my heart had just vanished, the memory of his face instantly blurring.
When he killed me back then, it was like crushing an ant. Now, it was the same. If his hand’s force increased slightly, my neck would likely be twisted off.
Mu Chuan leaned on a long chair, his slender right hand holding an exquisite wine cup, drinking it in one gulp before asking: “What brings an immortal into my ghost realm? Is the old Supreme God planning to start a war again?”
The hand on my neck suddenly released, and I collapsed on the ground, coughing and tasting blood in my mouth. After catching my breath, I said: “I came in with a friend to find someone and got lost.”
Seeing his smile, I knew this explanation was more far-fetched than my excuse. Gods and ghosts have always been on bad terms. If I were in his position, I wouldn’t believe it either. But if I told him Qing Yuan brought me in and we were looking for Mu Yin, would he blame them? Just as I thought this, Mu Chuan spoke again: “Who brought you in? And who are you looking for?”
After a moment of silence, he laughed again, slowly saying: “Go die.”
What the hell! You go die! I suddenly jumped up, transformed into my divine form, and spread the spell in my palm, turning the ground into flower people to bind him, hoping to delay him for a moment.
Hundreds of flower people extended their limbs, whining and wrapping around him.
Seeing he remained unmoved, with that eerie smile still on his face, I shuddered and turned to escape from the pear garden.
