Yun Ming stood in midair, his spear tip angled slightly downward.
Mu Ye was naturally no match for him, but his strength had already reached the level of a Limit Douluo.
He could afford to pay little heed to one Limit Douluo, but Shrek could not.
Besides, the secret of the body had been at Shrek for so many years, yet very few people had been suited to learning it.
"Senior Du Busi did indeed leave the secret art in the Sea God Pavilion back then." Yun Ming spoke evenly, yet everyone in the plaza could hear him clearly.
Cai Yue'er grew anxious and stepped forward. "Pavilion Master! That was..."
Yun Ming raised his left hand, cutting Cai Yue'er off.
"But Senior Du Busi also left instructions." Yun Ming looked straight at Mu Ye. "The secret of the body is a matter of great consequence. An innocent man invites guilt simply by possessing a precious jade. We were to return it only when the Body Sect produced a successor strong enough to protect this secret art. Otherwise, we would only be bringing harm upon the Body Sect."
Yun Ming patted the Sky-Cleaving Spear in his hand. "For ten thousand years, the Body Sect's lineage has passed through a single successor each generation. It truly hasn't produced a powerhouse capable of standing on his own."
"And that thrust just now proved that, Sect Master Mu, your current strength qualifies you to take back what belongs to you."
Mu Ye shouldered his forty-meter-long Mechanical Greatsword and gave a muffled grunt beneath his dark red faceplate.
He did not argue. Making Shrek hand over the secret of the body was not difficult, but making them admit they had broken their word was.
Nor did he wish to waste more breath in a place
