Chapter 161: Chapter 163: Mu Zi’ang is Dead

"I haven’t even met my master yet, I’ve only seen one of my master-uncles," Mu Can scratched his head in embarrassment. Even now, he still had no idea what his foster master’s name was. He had forgotten to ask Uncle Xu Chao last time they met.

The High Deity sized up the Reincarnation Pearl hovering in midair, his eyes wandering.

"Eh eh eh? That pearl that bites like a dog, just who created you?"

The High Deity glanced at the Reincarnation Pearl sideways. Although he didn’t want to fight with this darn pearl again, he still wanted to confirm if his guess was right. Being bitten in the butt by the pearl, the High Deity found it a bit hard to accept.

"Are you itching for a beating?"

Mu Can could feel the Reincarnation Pearl’s faint arrogance. If the Reincarnation Pearl had a form, it would definitely be that of a rascal with a cigarette dangling from its mouth and legs crossed arrogantly.

The words made Mu Can feel like giving the Reincarnation Pearl a good thrashing.

"You don’t need to tell me, could it be that..." The High Deity hadn’t finished speaking when he felt a pain on his butt, as the pearl hung there again.

"Ah ah ah ah." The High Deity felt himself going nearly mad; this was the second time he had been bitten on the butt by the Reincarnation Pearl.

"I bite, I bite, I bite; is my master’s name something you can mention?"

The Reincarnation Pearl seemed possessed as it fiercely bit into the High Deity’s butt, at the same spot, with the same intensity.

"Ah ah ah ah, let go of me, I won’t mention it again, okay?"

What did the High Deity do to deserve being bitten viciously twice by a pearl in the exact same place?

"Such a mischievous pearl, only that person could have created you."

He should have thought of it long ago; if it were that person, everything would make sense.

"Senior, you know my master?" Mu Can was extremely curious about his foster master who had yet to make an appearance. What kind of person was his master, really?

Listening to the High Deity, it seemed he even had a slight fear of his master.

"Of course, I know him, your master is a friend of mine in the Supreme Interface, and he even calls me big brother!" The High Deity said with a smug look in his eye.

"Back in the day, you beat me up, and now your pearl is biting my butt. You definitely wouldn’t mind if I take a little advantage of you, would you?" While saying this, the High Deity was also fidgeting nervously, thinking if the creator of the pearl found out he was making up such stories, would he beat him up again.

That guy who was nominally his elder was really not an easy one; many major powers in the Supreme Realm detested him to the point of grinding their teeth.

"Ah ah ah. Stop biting, dammit! When the Heavenly Dao made you, did he casually use a stray dog’s soul to be your Artifact Spirit?"

As soon as the High Deity finished speaking, he felt a strong force biting into his butt and he shouted unconcernedly.

The pearl almost bit off a chunk of flesh from his butt, causing him great pain as he grimaced in agony.

"You dare to mention my master’s name, I bite bite bite!" The Reincarnation Pearl kept shouting as it clung on, refusing to let go.

Through their conversation, Mu Can learned that his unseen master had once beaten up the High Deity. And from a certain perspective, his master was even the High Deity’s elder.

"Uh..." Mu Can held his forehead, feeling that both his master and the High Deity appeared somewhat unreliable.

"Stop fighting, you two, and help me with something important first." Mu Can was somewhat speechless; he had come here to revive his father, and now before he could even speak, such an incident had occurred.

Reincarnation Pearl only let go of the High Celestial’s backside upon hearing Mu Can’s words. It slowly flew back to Mu Can’s shoulder, its round body surprisingly sprouting limbs as it sat back with crossed legs, looking utterly self-satisfied.

"You damn bead, really a reincarnation of a rabid dog spirit, aiyo." Even with the High Celestial’s strength, capable of surviving unscathed on the sun, his physique was so formidable it was frightening, yet when facing the Reincarnation Pearl, he was actually bitten in the buttocks.

This illustrated just how powerful the Reincarnation Pearl was, to have the ability to wound a Great Power.

"Who are you calling a dog?" Reincarnation Pearl suddenly barked out loud.

It actually made a genuine dog’s bark.

"A true dog spirit indeed." High Celestial wore a smug expression, as if he had seen through the true nature of the Reincarnation Pearl Artifact Spirit.

Mu Can quickly pressed down hard on the Reincarnation Pearl on his shoulder, otherwise, in the next second, the bead would surely have found its way back to High Celestial’s backside.

"What a waste, such a waste, to have THIS as the Artifact Spirit of such a divine artifact, even a Divine Beast would not have been too much, tsk tsk tsk."

High Celestial had been sneak attacked, clutching his buttock while casting sidelong glances, vigilant of the Reincarnation Pearl.

"Elder, please don’t fight any longer, alright? I really have an important matter and need your help."

Mu Can had a face full of exasperation.

It was impossible to tell if the Reincarnation Pearl and High Celestial had natural animosity or incompatible zodiac signs; they couldn’t even agree on a single sentence.

"Just say it, we’ll ignore him," the High Celestial said, glancing at the Reincarnation Pearl pressed down by Mu Can on his shoulder and spoke to Mu Can.

Mu Can quickly recounted everything about Mu Zi Ang in full detail to High Celestial.

"I see, let me do an investigation." Upon hearing that Mu Can’s father had risked entering the Death Space to save Mu Can, High Celestial nodded, indicating he would help.

"Trace back to the Origin." With a casual wave, he sent forth a ray of light, activating the small cauldron hovering beside him, which promptly enlarged and steadied itself atop the Altar.

"Dad." In the air, something like a water screen appeared, displaying the events that had unfolded after Mu Zi Ang entered the Death Space.

In the screen, Mu Zi Ang and another person were cautiously searching for various fortunes within the Death Space, extra careful.

"Elder, why are there two people?" Mu Can asked, puzzled.

"Inside the Death Space, there is a kind of squad mode, pairing up two people. Only the last remaining pair wins."

Mu Can glanced at High Celestial, noting that this High Celestial truly had a talent for such a squad mode that definitely tested the tacit understanding between two completely strangers.

Mu Zi Ang’s cultivation among those who had entered was about the lowest, so he was very cautious and covertly searching, always avoiding combat.

While watching, Mu Zi Ang joyfully picked a fruit emitting seven-color radiance from an extraordinary little tree. "Finally, there is hope for Can’er." It was a Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Fruit, which had already reached the stage of Seventh Revolutions.

In the next scene, Mu Can’s eyes were filled with rage as a blade-hand savagely passed through Mu Zi Ang’s back, one hand reaching to the front of Mu Zi Ang’s body.

Blood sprayed wildly as Mu Zi Ang struggled to turn his head to look at his companion behind him, collapsing with a thud, gripping the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Fruit tightly in his hand until his death.

"Such a Divine Fruit, of course, belongs to the virtuous," Mu Zi Ang’s companion said lightly as he kicked Mu Zi Ang’s body aside, snatching the fruit clutched in his hand.

"I will kill you." Mu Can’s aura surged with murderous intent, shooting toward the heavens—this was the first time he let his killer instinct unrestrainedly burst forth.
