Everyone Has Their Own Plans

"Master! Earth Prison is not like other places. I can only take you for a tour and we can't stay long. I hope you can understand, Master."

Fang Mu, who had opened the mountain wall of Earth Prison, said apologetically to Huihai beside him.

"Amitabha! This humble monk is merely curious and will not make things difficult for the Envoy."

Huihai recited a Buddhist chant and, bringing his clone Yuan Fan, entered Earth Prison.

After walking for a while, Fang Mu and the two others passed through several iron gates and finally arrived at Earth Prison.

Fang Mu was extremely vigilant, afraid that Huihai would suddenly make a move.

He hadn't wanted to bring his clone along, but Huihai insisted, saying he wanted to teach by example. Fang Mu could only reluctantly agree.

As he led Huihai through the various prison cells, Huihai, though curious, showed no unusual reactions.

"Envoy Fang, you mentioned earlier that the Chief Envoy was in seclusion here for cultivation. Now that I've arrived at Earth Prison, why can't I sense any trace of him?"

"Perhaps the Chief Envoy has left. The Chief Envoy's power is unfathomable. If he deliberately concealed his aura, it's normal for Master not to detect it."

Fang Mu answered vaguely, intentionally making Huihai feel a bit apprehensive.

"Envoy is right. The Chief Envoy's cultivation is profound, and this humble monk is inferior."

"May I ask if Envoy Fang can take me to the special grade prison cells? I wish to visit that elder who has gone against the established principles, to see if I can persuade him to repent before his death."

"Master's words are insightful. Just follow me!"

Fang Mu had long guessed Huihai's purpose for entering Earth Prison, so he didn't refuse. He carried his staff and led the way.

Huihai curiously observed the staff that Fang Mu carried on his shoulder, wrapped in a long cloth.

Fang Mu naturally sensed Huihai's gaze, but there was nothing he could do.

The staff was too peculiar to be stored in a storage bag or a demon capturing bag.

Fang Mu was uneasy about putting it into the Demon Refining Mirror, fearing that the mirror might suddenly decide to refine the staff on a whim.

If the little monk came asking for it later, Fang Mu couldn't exactly present a basin of melted gold water and tell him it was the staff!

Keeping the staff at home could also attract trouble, and hiding it was risky for fear of theft. Thus, Fang Mu could only carry it.

Soon, Fang Mu led Huihai to the special grade prison cells.

As a dull rumble echoed from the mountain wall, the prison gate slowly opened.

Fang Mu stepped into the cell first, opening the various cell doors with practiced ease.

After entering the inner prison, Fang Mu moved to the side, watching Huihai warily.

"Amitabha! Esteemed elder, this humble monk Huihai greets you! May I ask if the Chief Envoy is here?"

Huihai suddenly walked towards the old monk and asked.

"Ye Tian can't spare any attention for Earth Prison. Shen Shi, quickly help me capture these two. I've already separated my soul seed. As soon as I possess them, I can escape."

Hearing the old monk's words, Fang Mu knew something was wrong. Just as he was about to escape with his clone, he saw Huihai begin chanting a spell.

Fang Mu watched as his clone was suddenly enveloped by a beam of light, freezing him in place.

Before Fang Mu could react, a white light shot out from the old monk's forehead, flying towards his clone.

With no time to think, Fang Mu flashed forward to block in front of his clone.

The swift white light directly entered his forehead.

Huihai frowned. He had brought Fang Mu along because he had some use for him, which was why he brought Yuan Fan as well.

If he possessed Fang Mu, the prison token would likely shatter, and then they would be trapped in Earth Prison.

However, it was too late to stop it now, so Huihai could only wait and see what happened.

The clone suddenly drew its sword and slashed at Huihai. Its Third Rank Martial Artist cultivation was fully unleashed without any concealment.

"Hmph!" Huihai snorted coldly and dodged the clone's attack.

He seemed unsurprised by the clone's strength.

"You concealed yourself well, but your strength betrayed you, raising my suspicions."

"But whether I was suspected or not, this humble monk intended for you to be the possession target of the Jade Faced Gentleman."

"I just didn't expect Fang Mu to take the blow for you."

"Can you tell me who you are, and why you have no life aura?"

In response to Huihai's questions, the clone remained silent and continued to attack him with furious sword strikes.

Meanwhile, Fang Mu was being possessed by a white light soul entity.

The soul entity, unrestrained, charged into his sea of consciousness and barreled towards its depths.

Then, there was nothing else. Fang Mu heard a terrified scream, like that of a duck.

As a stream of pure soul power surged in and was absorbed by his soul entity, Fang Mu's previously solidified soul entity became even more substantial.

Fragments of memories also flooded into his mind.

After a brief review of the memories, Fang Mu opened his eyes.

"Shen Shi! Hand him over to me for practice!"

Fang Mu leaped forward, swinging his staff directly at the clone and Huihai.

Huihai hadn't gone all out, and the clone was no match for him, so he didn't need the Jade Faced Gentleman's help at all.

However, since he had spoken, Huihai withdrew a few steps.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, Fang Mu's staff smashed directly towards Huihai.

The powerful blow, even with Huihai reacting to block it, sent him spitting blood and flying backward under the weight of the mountain-like staff.

Fang Mu gasped for breath, the staff he had swung with all his might having used up all his strength.

Huihai crashed into the black stone wall not far away and grunted.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Huihai was filled with shock and lingering fear.

Fortunately, he was an Innate Realm expert, far beyond the First Rank. Otherwise, Fang Mu might have truly killed him with a single blow.

"I truly underestimated you! I never expected the renowned Jade Faced Gentleman to fall into your hands. You've really surprised me."

Huihai leaned on his staff, his gaze cold as he stared at Fang Mu and said in a deep voice.

Fang Mu quickly swallowed a few Essence Blood Pills and didn't bother with further pleasantries with Huihai, knowing he was using the opportunity to heal himself in secret.

With a roar, Fang Mu and his clone attacked Huihai almost simultaneously, swiftly moving to surround and kill him with their full strength.

A series of booming sounds echoed as Fang Mu and his clone attacked Huihai relentlessly, but they couldn't suppress him.

The clone was injured by the Vital Energy radiating from Huihai and was sent flying, sustaining numerous wounds.

Fang Mu activated his vines, wrapping them around Huihai. The Demon Vine also transformed into a long rope, entangling him.

But Huihai was too strong; the Vital Energy he released easily shattered the vines. The Demon Vine couldn't get close to him before being repelled by his Buddhist light.

"You truly have exceeded my expectations!"

"For a mere Demon Slayer Envoy, your hidden strength is so profound, and you possess so many strange methods. You have truly opened my eyes."

"Then watch closely!"

Fang Mu paid no mind to Huihai's praise. After a roar, he took out a jar of wine and hurled it at Huihai.

With a crisp crack, the wine jar shattered by the Buddhist light surrounding Huihai before it could even reach him.

The spilled wine suddenly transformed into numerous spirit snakes, coiling around Huihai.

At the same time, Fang Mu dropped his staff, activated Extreme Wind Speed, and flashed to Huihai's side.

He unleashed a full-power punch, shattering the golden light shield around Huihai. Countless sharp Bone Spurs pierced through the golden light and penetrated Huihai's body.

Concurrently, a Golden Sword tore through the air, thrown with all its might by the clone, piercing Huihai's chest in an instant.

Fang Mu and his clone's combined attack was seamless, without any hesitation or wasted time.

The series of actions was completed in the blink of an eye, as if they had practiced it countless times.

Huihai stared blankly at his penetrated body, his eyes filled with shock.

In this desolate small county town, someone could actually kill an Innate Realm expert. No one would believe it if it were told.
