The Daily Task of Preventing My Disciple from Turning to the Dark Side

Jing Ming noticed how “concentrated” Gu Yunjue was in observing their surroundings. He didn’t pay any attention to him talking. Jing Ming laughed a bit and jabbed his shoulder. “I’m going to take you to look at the spirit animals that Palace Master raises. Every single one has beautiful fur. Their fatness is the most important part. If they’re roasted, then their meat must be tender and fresh with juices overflowing from your mouth!”

Gu Yunjue suddenly turned around at this moment. His gaze fixated on the treetop of a golden Chinese parasol tree. Inside the leaves that were the size of palm tree leaves, there was a black duck hidden there. Its red eyes were firmly locked onto Gu Yunjue. When both pairs of eyes met, the duck became so frightened that it shrunk it’s neck back. It let out a cry of “uh oh”, and tried to run by flapping its wings.

Gu Yunjue’s eyes narrowed before he suddenly smiled. This duck had already discovered the strangeness of his soul. How could he just let it walk away?

A powerful divine source engulfed the other, holding it in place and preventing it from making any movements. Gu Yunjue strolled up to it, before raising his leg and kicking it in the belly. He clicked his tongue in disdain. It was so ugly!

Yue Mingze assumed that Mu Chen was already finished with whatever he was doing. Thus, he sent out people to meet with Elder Xing Xuan and bring him to Yanyang Palace. Due to the conflict between Mu Chen and Ji Qingyuan, Yue Mingze worried that Mu Chen and Ji Qingyuan would start fighting again the moment that they meet. This was the reason why Yue Mingze tried convincing Ji Qingyuan to wait for a while. However, it was a pity that the other didn’t appreciate his kindness. Instead, the other responded back, “How could this one hand over Elder Xing Xuan to a stranger? This one would feel more relieved to see the process in person.”

Yue Mingze secretly sneered in his mind. This guy really can’t tell good things from bad things. Wait till Mu Chen says something like ‘Ji Qingyuan and the dog can’t enter’. Then, we’ll see how you handle that.

As expected, Mu Chen’s facial expression turned from a relaxed one to a frosty one at the sight of Ji Qingyuan. He extended a fine finger and pointed below the mountain. “Either just you scram or you all scram.”

Yue Mingze rubbed his chin as he watched Ji Qingyuan throw away the airs of a nobleman and leave with an ashen face full of hate on it, clenching his teeth but not daring to talk back. Yue Mingze secretly said in his heart, “You deserve it! Is it necessary for you to leave after you get a scolding?”

Yu Tianyi watched Ji Qingyuan’s disappearing figure from inside of Mu Chen’s living room. Yu Tianyi’s face held a deep expression on it. This Junior Brother of his actually had this type of expression. He had never seen it before.

Mu Chen then pointed at Elder Xing Xuan before he coldly said, “Leave it outside. It’s not allowed in here.” They were really making his territory dirty.

The faces of Ten Thousand Sword Sect’s people all turned red. The anger they had made it look like their chest was about to explode. They had never met someone so aggressive before. This type of person who paid no respect to their sect.

A sword cultivator who looked somewhat inarticulate with a grey face had only one thing on his mind, which was to help in handing Daoist Xing Xuan over. Since the other was docile, Mu Chen allowed him to stay behind.

Xing Xuan was suffering from Seven Corpse Soil Erosion poison. This was a severely damaging and powerful weapon that people who went down the devil path relied on. Therefore, most of these people were very sinister. The Seven Corpse Soil Erosion was extremely toxic and corroded the mind. When it was coated on a sword, even if the opponent wasn’t killed in the process, it would still take their life later. Although he was unsure of why Daoist Xing Xuan went to the Devil Realm, he could tell that there was some kind of hidden secret seeing how much importance Yu Tianyi was placing on him.

In his past life, he had given this old man a Black Essence Returning Pill on the behalf of Yu Tianyi. He also had good relations with Ji Qingyuan. However, both of these people were the type to bite the hands of those who feed them.

Mu Chen was not willing to waste that pill once again on an old man who was near his deathbed. Instead, he picked Elder Xing Xuan up and dragged him to a spacious place in the same manner of a dead dog. Mu Chen used his palm to pat Elder Xing Xuan’s chest, forcing the poison to make its way to his throat. Since he talked a lot and really wanted to live, then he can just live as a mute.

After Ji Qingyuan made his way out, he noticed how Yanyang Palace was decorated and arranged with an abundance of spirit medications. People that grew up with a golden spoon, why do these type of people even exist?fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

For people trying to cultivate their way to immortality, what they feared the most was getting the devil’s heart. Thus, they paid particular attention to their thoughts. However, Ji Qingyuan did not notice that his thoughts have started to become more and more extreme. The killing intent on his body was becoming denser. For sword cultivators who have always placed more importance on preventing any evil tendencies than others, this was an omen that they were slowly entering the devil cultivation.

Gu Yunjue and Jing Ming made their way home from the mountains in the back. He noticed the twisted expression on Ji Qingyuan’s face as well as the gritted teeth. Gu Yunjue’s lips quirked upwards and he swayed the cage in his hand back and forth. Gu Yunjue spoke to the duck inside, “Doesn’t it look very delicious?”

“Ga…,” a husky voice that had a trace of sullenness called out. It pulled its neck back and cried with all its might. It was so loud that the entire Yanyang Palace could hear the duck’s cry. Jing Ming overtook them from behind and pointed his finger at the duck. “Rebude, don’t talk so loud. Palace Master will complain that it’s noisy. Do you understand?”

Rebude wanted to stand up and flap its wings to express the grief and indignation that it felt. For a mountain king like himself to be forced into a chicken cage like a spirit animal without allowing him to eat his fill or to speak, can a duck still live?!

Unfortunately, it was unsure if it was on purpose or not, but Gu Yunjue managed to find a cage that was small to the point that he couldn’t even turn. All it could do was raise its head and open its mouth. It felt so angered that the three golden furs on its head stood up.

Gu Yunjue happily carried the cage around with him. He walked towards the direction of Ji Qingyuan, sensing the devil qi on the other’s body. Gu Yunjue was in a good mood, so he asked Rebude, “Want to eat?”

Rebude felt so angered that he randomly bounced about. Did he still need to ask that? Ever since it left the Devil Realm, it hadn’t been able to eat its fill for quite some time.

Gu Yunjue smiled and said another sentence. “If you are obedient, then you’ll get stuff to eat in the future. If you choose to not be obedient, then I will chop your third leg off.”

Rebude heard the malicious tone in his words and immediately fell down to its stomach. It hid its leg under its belly and laid motionless. Motherf*cker! He was even more like an ‘abyss demon’ than this lord!

Jing Ming also held a red strip of silky fabric, and spoke excitedly. “I went to Hongxiu Palace and got this from a sister. When we have nothing to do, we can just walk a bird with this.” The duck had attacked him a few times before. Whenever it cawed, it simply wanted one’s life. Now that Jing Ming could finally take revenge, he didn’t think about why the duck was being so obedient to Gu Yunjue. He was solely preoccupied on his happy feelings and bouncing around.

Gu Yunjue frowned with disapproval. He continued to walk while carrying the duck around. How could this foolish white wolf think of doing something so stupid? Even though they were brothers, Jing Ting took care of everything in Yanyang Place in an orderly manner while Jing Ming was so unreliable. If it weren’t for the fact that they looked the same, then Gu Yunjue would have had suspicions that Jing Ming ran into the wrong nest when he was young.

Rebude felt so angry that he stamped his feet again. “I will tell you this right now. I am very irritated right now. For an ancient mythological animal like myself, even the Phoenix needs to lick my feet whenever it sees me. You actually dared to use this red rope to humiliate me!”

“Hm?” Gu Yunjue made a soft nasally sound.

Rebude once again sat back down on its stomach and mumbled to itself, “At least it should have been a white one. A black and white one would have clearly looked better. Plus it has a dense feeling of condolences with it. How festive it would be.”

Jing Ming covered his ears. Whenever he heard it speak, his head hurts. “You’re crazy! Like bull, condolences are beautiful!”

The two people and the duck continued to walk and talk. When they reached Ji Qingyuan, Gu Yunjue stopped and a scheming expression flashed in his eyes.

Jing Ming looked at the other, and rubbed his chin in a puzzled manner. He tilted his head and asked the other, “Are you looking for a beating?” Jing Ming promises that he was simply curious and he didn’t mean anything else.

Ji Qingyuan naturally recognized the two. He looked at them with a dark expression on his face. Gu Yunjue also raised his head and smiled at him. From inside Gu Yunjue’s eyes, there was an obvious malice that made him look as if he were under some type of a curse. Gu Yunjue looked at Ji Qingyuan as if he was prey that was nearing his death. This kind of feeling made Ji Qingyuan want to rebel, but his spirit soul unfortunately felt like a moth that was pinched between two fingers. It was so weak that it didn’t even have the ability the flap its wings.𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢

Suddenly, Ji Qingyuan felt a spiritual power that was more powerful than his own squeezing him at all directions. He felt like his spirit soul was being choked. His entire person felt like it fell into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. His powerless struggle made him feel the cold sweat sweating through his clothes in that instant.

When he looked at Gu Yunjue’s eyes again, Ji Qingyuan felt himself become absent-minded for a moment and he pulled out his sword with a choking sound as if he had been provoked. The sharp and clear sound of the sword allowed for people in the mountain to sense it. It held such a strong killing intent.

Jing Ming picked Gu Yunjue up in that split second and they retreated more than a dozen meters. Jing Ming was so angered that he stomped his feet and cursed. “Oh my, you shameless little hussy! You dare to act like this on Yanyang Palace territory. Why don’t you find a mirror and look at your morality and conduct?!” Jing Ming had just obtained a new picture book and he learned many things from it. He didn’t think over his words and directly cursed at the other.

If Ji Qingyuan had just pulled out his sword due to the killing intent he had felt, and thus had been provoked, now he really wanted to kill him.

Mu Chen sensed the strangeness, and he flashed out. He immediately felt a bout of fury. His figure turned into white light and the Scarlet Clouds Sword appeared in his hand again. He used eighty percent of his Demigod Strength and hacked at Ji Qingyuan without any regard for anything. Since he dared to touch his disciple, then he will mince, kill, and burn him!

The protection spell around Yanyang Place shook a bit under the striking of this sword. Jing Ming picked up Gu Yunjue in the beginning and hid behind Yue Mingze, peeking at Ji Qingyuan from behind. Ji Qingyuan had not been able to relax from the mental pressure before, so he could only raise his sword to block. Both of them had the same level of spiritual power. However, after being hit directly by Mu Chen’s potent spiritual power, Ji Qingyuan ended up spitting a mouthful of blood out.

Yu Tianyi had an ugly expression on his face. He didn’t expect that his Junior Brother, who was supposed to be a good person, actually wouldn’t let go of a child. Was the person he had seen before an act? Once he thought about how this person secretly had these schemes, his eyes turned darker.

When he looked back at Mu Chen, who clearly had no intention of ceasing, he noticed white flames twisting around his body. Full of killing intent, Mu Chen hacked down again. His action was clean and efficient. The way that he used his sword was stronger than any type of sword spell.

Nobody from Lofty Cloudy Sect dared to jump into the fight. They all knew the power of those flames. Ji Qingyuan raised his sword to resist again. With a vicious light flashing through his eyes, Mu Chen slashed downwards in a horizontal direction. Everyone could hear a scream. Mu Chen had stabbed his sword into Ji Qingyuan’s arm that was holding the sword. The flames on his sword swallowed it up and Ji Qingyuan’s sword immediately turned to ash that floated away.

Mu Chen swung the long sword in his hand before he immediately chopped downwards. He must mince this bastard.

The younger surrounding disciples were all stupefied. Great Martial Uncle is so vicious!

Yu Tianyi could no longer watch anymore and flashed between Mu Chen and Ji Qingyuan. He raised his sword to block them. Both a cold and hot spiritual power hit both Mu Chen and Ji Qingyuan. A powerful spiritual power shook the great spell once more. The entire Lofty Cloudy Sect and a couple Elders that were in seclusion were alarmed.

Yu Tianyi noticed the stubborn expression on Mu Chen’s face and heavily promised, “Let me handle this matter first. Then, I will explain it all to you.”

Mu Chen swung the long sword in his hands before coldly saying, “No!”

Author’s Comment: Doing a small show of not bearing responsibility.

Gu Yunjue: “A lot of people talk about how interesting this small show is. Why don’t more people notice how demonically beautiful I am?”

Black Meow: “That’s because they want to see how much of a grudge a little top like you has. Or they want to see how there’s eight hundred and sixty ways for the little top to die!

Gu Yunjue pulled his sword out.

Black Meow took out Mu Chen’s picture while Gu Yunjue took a bath. Gu Yunjue was unprepared and he was smacked by a one thousand six hundred kilogram knife. Go Die!
