I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 594. Is God Mu in Love?!
Just as the young man in the wheelchair, with a cold and somber expression, was quietly gazing at the scene beyond the clouds...

A tall, thin man emerged from the darkness. His face was gaunt like withered wood, his eyes were sunken, but his gaze was sharp as an eagle's.

This person's name is Kunmu, one of the Six Guards.

He clasped his hands respectfully and said, "Mr. Dongjun, the person that the Elemental Saintess is chasing has arrived."

The young man in the wheelchair nodded calmly: "Let him in."

The Elemental Saintess came to Litian City to capture an Elemental Traitor. If possible, Ye Lidongjun would naturally be willing to do the Elemental Saintess a favor and help her capture the traitor.

To Ye Lidong's surprise, this elemental traitor actually came to him, saying that he had something good that Ye Lidong wanted and wanted to cooperate with him.

The door creaked open a crack, and a shadow snaked its way in through the gap, gliding through the darkness and quickly coalescing into a human shape a short distance away.

He was a man dressed in a dark blue robe and holding a jeweled scepter.

The pointed hat fell over his forehead, and when he looked up, his wrinkled, ugly face had three eyes.

With both eyes closed, only the vertical eye between his eyebrows open, he chuckled in a deep, hoarse voice: "Ye Lidong, how have you been?"

Kenshin turned his wheelchair around, and the young man in the wheelchair looked up at the newcomer with his bewitching eyes, surprised and intrigued: "Gu Xun?"

Gu Xun can be considered a genius. He was adopted by the Elemental Church at a young age and later became a cardinal. Ye Lidongjun had a few battles with him when he was young, and the outcome was even.

However, judging from Ye Lidongjun's glance at Gu Xun's condition, he was at the peak of the third realm of Venerable, his spiritual pressure was slightly unstable, and his face looked somewhat aged.

"After all these years, you still haven't borne your fourth fruit?" the wheelchair-bound youth asked with a faint smile.

Gu Xun never expected that the boy who fought him to the death back then would have such a high position and power, and such amazing cultivation strength.

Hearing the condescending tone in his words, Gu Xun didn't care and said calmly, "Lord Ye Lidong, I won't waste my breath on you. If you still want what I have, you'd better help me deal with the Elemental Church's pursuit team."

"Oh? Then tell me," Ye Lidongjun said calmly, his heterochromatic eyes revealing something special that makes him so certain I would want it.

“The decree of King Sumeru,” Gu Xun uttered with a smile.

Ye Lidong was stunned for a moment, then sat up slightly, his heterochromatic eyes narrowing sharply: "This thing is on you?"

"nature."

This was indeed something Ye Lidongjun hadn't anticipated.

The Sumeru King's Decree is a key item for vying for the Sumeru Throne.

The Wheel of Life game has existed in the empire for many years, with the aim of selecting nine people to participate in the struggle for the Sumeru Throne.

He is now about to obtain the ninth and final seat through the Wheel of Life.

Once he obtains the seat, the struggle for the Sumeru Throne will officially begin.

This [Sumeru King's Decree] can help spirit masters gain a unique advantage in the early stages of the struggle for the throne, namely the status of [King].

Extremely rare!
Now, the first eight old guys who obtained the seats are all searching for the Sumeru King's Token throughout the empire. Ye Lidongjun, as the last person to obtain a seat, has many things to do and naturally doesn't have the energy to search for this thing.

Unexpectedly, Wang Ling actually delivered himself to their doorstep.

He looked at Gu Xun thoughtfully, his heterochromatic eyes, which concealed murderous intent, remaining calm and composed. "Aren't you afraid I'll kill you and steal your treasure?"

"You are welcome to give it a try." Gu Xun's vertical pupils shifted between his brows, a strange, faint smile playing on his lips.

"Heh~" Ye Lidongjun chuckled and nodded. "Very well, state your conditions." "I am about to condense my fourth fruit position, so I need you to provide me with advancement resources, a cultivation environment, and help me complete the result ceremony."

Gu Xun, with his hands tucked into his sleeves, raised his eyes and said, "As long as I successfully advance to the fourth realm of Venerable, I will present the Sumeru King's Decree with both hands."

"Tap—tap—" The handsome young man in the wheelchair tapped his knuckles on the armrest, his brows slightly lowered as he fell into deep thought.

He was considering the possibility of taking direct action, killing and robbing the treasure, since Gu Xun's demands were indeed somewhat troublesome.

The atmosphere was deathly silent for two seconds.

Gu Xun stood in the shadows, his vertical eyes slightly narrowed, and said, "I heard that your wife was kidnapped by a young punk early this morning?"

Ye Lidongjun's heterochromatic eyes snapped open, and with a deafening roar—! A chilling killing intent surged forth, solid as a physical force, crashing towards Gu Xun, causing deep pits and cracks to appear in the floor tiles beneath his feet.

Gu Xun immediately shrank back a bit, but he didn't care. He just continued calmly, "You haven't caught this kid after all this time, which means he has first-rate escape skills."

"How about this, if you can't find that kid, then once I advance to the fourth level of Venerable, I can help you find and kill him. You should know that my tracking technique is unparalleled, and no one can escape my eye technique's pursuit."

Upon hearing this, Kenshin's delicate brows furrowed involuntarily behind the wheelchair-bound youth.

In fact, it wasn't that Xia Feng was exceptionally skilled at concealment, but rather that, according to the plan, now was not the time to recapture or even kill the puppet Xia Feng.

Before Kenshin could say anything, Ye Lidongjun had already made his decision and nodded in agreement to the deal with Gu Xun.

Kenshin hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not speak up to stop him. In fact, the Sumeru King Token alone was enough for Mr. Dongjun to cooperate with this person.

However, the look in her eyes as she secretly watched Gu Xun had turned cold.

In any play, unexpected things can happen, but as the director, she naturally disapproved of actors who were suddenly forced in by investors and had their scenes added.

"My final ceremony requires the blessings of at least ten thousand people. Tonight happens to be the Lantern Festival, so please send me those blessings, is that alright?" Gu Xun asked.

The young man in the wheelchair lightly tapped the armrest with his fingertips, looking out at the thunderclouds; the room was silent.

To him, Xia Feng was like an ant, a maggot. He would get his hands dirty if he did it himself. It was more appropriate to let Gu Xun, who was good at tracking, catch this elusive insect.

Ye Lidongjun stopped tapping the armrest with his fingertips, glanced sideways at the tall, thin man standing respectfully with his hands at his sides in the shadows, and said in a low voice:

"Kunmu, take Gu Xun to the lantern festival and do everything you can to help him achieve his goal."

"Yes!"

*
The night sky was ablaze with lights, and the ancient-style waterside pavilions and corridors were bustling with people.

Four or five children bought candied hawthorns and happily walked through the crowd. A family of four released yellow paper lanterns into the sky by the roadside, hoping that the lanterns carrying their wishes would fly to the other side of the starry sky.

"Jiu——bang!"

Then, dazzling fireworks lit up the sky, and a couple strolled hand in hand along the shore of Junzi Lake.

"Hey? Honey, look over there!" The woman pointed to the Magpie Lantern Bridge on the distant lake, somewhat excitedly. "The woman under that pavilion looks just like Mu Shen!"

The man followed the gaze and saw a black-haired youth casually leaning against a bench in the pavilion at the very center of the Magpie Lantern Bridge, his back to the lake shore. A woman in a black dress was sitting on his lap, lifting his chin and gazing at him affectionately, kissing him repeatedly.

In the dim darkness, the woman's cool and beautiful profile was illuminated by the fireworks, and she did indeed look somewhat like Mu Shen.

The couple stared wide-eyed, their hearts filled with shock, envy, and resentment. Damn it, could it really be God Mu?! God Mu is in a relationship?!
