Chapter 2379 - 2552: Is the Mu Family About to Turn Hostile?

Miss Lin seemed oblivious to the eyes cast around her, continuing to speak to Wu Jun: "You can make your choice now. Of course, you can rest assured; I only need you for three years. During these three years, work for Yama Palace, and after three years, I’ll dispel the poison of the Soul Devouring Pill. After that, whether you stay or leave, you can decide for yourself. Moreover, I can assure you, as long as you agree with me, the Mu Family won’t be able to do anything to you."

As soon as Lin Yafei’s voice fell, Mu Qingliu, who had been standing beside, could no longer contain the anger in his heart and said, with a face full of coldness, "Lin Yafei, you are too presumptuous! Do you really think I dare not destroy your Yama Palace?"

Lin Yafei glanced at Mu Qingliu, her expression unchanged, and said: "Second Young Master Mu, of course, I know your Mu Family has the ability to destroy the Yama Palace, but do you believe that as soon as you take action, I will have your Mu Family live in fear for generations, sleepless and restless for a lifetime."

"Are you threatening me?"

Mu Qingliu’s face twisted, looking extremely grim.

"You can treat my words as a threat or as a joke."

Lin Yafei’s expression remained unchanged as she continued to speak to Wu Jun: "I’ll give you ten breaths to consider, to choose life, or to choose death."

After hearing these words, Wu Jun’s expression began to shift unpredictably. He intended to refuse, but upon seeing Lin Yafei’s calm eyes, an inexplicable chill surged in his heart.

Even though Lin Yafei’s strength was very weak, and in his eyes, she was utterly incompetent, for some reason, Wu Jun had a feeling that if he did something to Lin Yafei now, his end would be extremely miserable, not to mention that Lu Tianxing, who was also eyeing him nearby.

Agree!

Or not agree!

If he agreed, he would have to take the Soul Devouring Pill and his life and death would be controlled by Lin Yafei. As for gaining his freedom after three years, it depended on whether Lin Yafei kept her promise. Even if she didn’t, he would be powerless, unless he was not afraid of death. But if he didn’t agree, Wu Jun knew he would surely not see tomorrow’s sun. Even if Lu Tianxing didn’t take action, the outcome would be the same.

Left is life, right is death. Wu Jun felt he seemed to be caught in a dilemma.

"The ten breaths have passed, Wu Jun, tell me your choice."

Sweat began to appear on Wu Jun’s forehead, and after a long while, he spoke in a hoarse voice: "Miss Lin, is what you said true? That after three years, you’ll grant me freedom."

"Yes, I, Lin Yafei, mean what I say."

A brilliant smile appeared on Lin Yafei’s face. Ever since Lu Tianxing forced Wu Jun to kneel, she had been planning this, wanting Wu Jun to join the Yama Palace because she could tell Wu Jun was afraid of death. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have knelt and kowtowed to apologize. As long as Wu Jun feared death, she was confident enough to make Wu Jun join the Yama Palace.

No one around spoke, their eyes shifting between Lin Yafei, Wu Jun, and Mu Qingliu, all eagerly anticipating Wu Jun’s decision.

If Wu Jun chose to join the Yama Palace, it would mean tearing faces with the Mu Family, and perhaps the Mu Family would fly into a rage, turning events into a spectacle.

Wu Jun stood there, his expression constantly shifting. He bit his lip, about to speak when Mu Qingliu’s cold voice rang in his ears: "Wu Jun, I advise you to think clearly and not do something you’ll regret for a lifetime. After all, reaching the Late Stage of Mythical wasn’t easy for you."

Lin Yafei stood there, her gaze unchanged, simply watching Wu Jun, awaiting his choice. Wu Jun joining the Yama Palace would naturally be beneficial for her, but it didn’t matter if he didn’t join. The Yama Palace wouldn’t be lacking because of one less Wu Jun. To the Yama Palace, Wu Jun was a dispensable existence.

Listening to Mu Qingliu’s cold voice in his ear, Wu Jun seemed to make a decision, gritted his teeth, and said: "Miss Lin, I agree with you. From now on, I’ll join the Yama Palace."

With that, Wu Jun stepped forward and bowed towards Lin Yafei: "Subordinate Wu Jun pays respects to the Hall Master."

"Hahaha..."

Upon hearing Wu Jun’s words, Lin Yafei immediately put on a charming smile.

On a normal day, people around might not mind admiring Lin Yafei’s captivating smile, but now an uncontrollable chill arose in everyone’s heart. A Martial Artist at the Late Stage of Mythical joining the Yama Palace meant strengthening Yama Palace’s force. Moreover, the Yama Palace, which previously lacked top experts, now, with Wu Jun’s addition, was undoubtedly empowered, making it a formidable force even without the presence of the Lu Family.

The great event has come!

Looking at Lu Tianxing and Lin Yafei standing there, this uncontrollable thought flashed through everyone’s mind.

"Wu Jun, Lin Yafei, you two are simply unbearable."

Mu Qingliu, seeing this scene, suddenly roared: "Wu Jun, you dare betray the Mu Family, I see you are tired of living. Someone, kill Wu Jun for me."

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

With Mu Qingliu’s voice, several figures appeared out of thin air, an oppressive aura permeating the space, instantly enveloping everything, causing the air to suddenly become stagnant, as if even the breeze had solidified. An impending stormy feeling covered everyone’s heart, making it hard to breathe.

Lin Yafei’s expression also turned grave in an instant, yet her demeanor remained unaltered. In front of her, the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi, clad in green garments with indistinguishable features, appeared at this moment, blocking the overwhelming menace directed at Lin Yafei.

Lu Tianxing also took a few steps forward, standing beside Lin Yafei, his face unchanged, yet the True Qi within him began to surge, ready to erupt into a formidable attack at any moment.

Sitting there, Mr. Mu showed no signs of movement, his aged face remaining unperturbed, neither interfering nor preventing, entirely as if he were an outsider, completely indifferent.

Similarly, Tang Qingyun’s expression did not change. It was not yet the time for him to act, and besides, Mr. Mu had not spoken, so naturally, he had nothing to say.

Only Mu Qingliu wore a face of hideous and sinister expression. When had he, the Second Young Master Mu, ever been trampled on or ridiculed? Today, he was determined to make Lu Tianxing pay dearly.

The several men who appeared stood there with surging momentum, continually pressing down on Lin Yafei.

For a moment, dark clouds loomed over the Mu Family, the atmosphere became incredibly tense, and an impending stormy atmosphere shrouded everyone’s heart, making it hard to breathe.

A great battle seemed imminent.

PS: There’s more to come, it might be a bit late, sorry!!!
