"What is this?!"
Mu Jinyu watched Ah-Huang struggling in the mirror for a long time, his face filled with desperation and collapse. After hitting the mirror, Ah-Huang was finally dragged away by a white shadow, causing Mu Jinyu's pupils to constrict and goosebumps to cover his entire body.
"He was actually struggling in the mirror all this time? I didn't notice at all!"
Mu Jinyu's hair stood on end, his body chilling; even when he had faced the attack of the Ghost Bride, he hadn't felt this uneasy.
"What is that world inside the mirror, then?!"
Mu Jinyu couldn't help but reach out and lightly tap the mirror on the dressing table.
Unfortunately, his palm couldn't pass through the mirror like a water curtain to reach the mirror world where Ah-Huang was dragged.
"That might be a world that only a High-level Demon can traverse!"
Li Yaotong was also stunned for a while, before he finally sighed softly and spoke slowly.
He hadn't expected, even after coming into this room, that he would fail to notice the strangeness in the mirror and that a demon could spirit away Ah-Huang's soul right under their noses!
"Bang bang bang!"
After hitting the mirror several times, Mu Jinyu couldn't suppress his feelings of unease and fear any longer, and with a smack, he shattered the dressing mirror to pieces!
"Crash tinkle!"
Pieces of the mirror scattered all over the ground.
Mu Jinyu cursed hatefully, "Damn it! What is this cursed thing!!"
Originally he had still been hesitating, struggling with whether to allow his subordinates from Dragon King Hall to try to control the demons, transforming into a half-human half-demon to fight against them. His only concern had been fearing they might become uncontrollable later!
But now, Mu Jinyu was no longer thinking about that, potential future loss of control was a problem for the future.
If they didn't imprison the demons causing chaos in the human world soon, who knew what other problems might arise!
After all, while humans controlled the demons, only martial artists like him would be affected. They were still human, still rational, and wouldn't accidentally lose control and cause chaos across the city or even the entire country.
But real demons lacked any rationality, as well as any sense of the bigger picture. If left to cause chaos in the human world, it was feared they would create a situation utterly beyond control!
"Huff..."
After a long exhale, Mu Jinyu took another deep look at the grinning foolishly Ah-Huang, withdrew his gaze, and said, "Let's go. Let's find Wang Hu and try to control the demons."
"Hmm," Li Yaotong responded.
His look towards Mu Jinyu held a bit more admiration.
This Dragon King was quite rational, knowing when something was not feasible, and he didn't just stand furiously in front of the mirror, trying vainly to reach into the mirror world to save Ah-Huang.
After all, looking at the current situation, even if Mu Jinyu went mad, he probably wouldn't be able to reach the mirror world. They could only wait for the next opportunity, perhaps, to enter that world.
Then, Mu Jinyu and Li Yaotong left the room to find Wang Hu.
As for Ah-Huang in the room, Mu Jinyu didn't just leave him be; he called someone to take care of him. Although he might have turned into an idiot, his physical body wasn't dead, and Dragon King Hall could certainly afford to take care of him. For now, they would just keep him.
You never know, they might find a way to retrieve Ah-Huang's soul someday.
Afterward, Mu Jinyu and Li Yaotong arrived at the training ground.
And Wang Hu, who had already been corroded by the Rotten Corpse Demon, had been waiting there for a while.
Mu Jinyu looked at the slightly uneasy Wang Hu, walked over, and informed him of his situation: he could die from corrosion by the Rotten Corpse Demon within half a year to a year.
Then he had to make a choice, whether to try to control the Rotten Corpse Demon from the storeroom of Dragon King Hall!
When Wang Hu first heard Mu Jinyu say that he had at most one year to live, his face turned deathly pale with not a trace of color.
But when he heard Mu Jinyu talk about controlling the demon, and that he might die on the spot or possibly live a bit longer, he became less panicked.
After listening, Wang Hu was not so terrified anymore.
He stood still, began to deeply contemplate the pros and cons, his expression fluctuating uncertainly.
If he gave up this opportunity and lived just one more year, he indeed could live peacefully, and Dragon King Hall would surely take good care of him. However, with his legs gradually decaying, he feared everyone would eventually despise him, unwilling to have more contact with him.
But if he accepted Mu Jinyu's arrangement and tried to control the demon, he might die today or he might survive. If he survived, he could live only one or two months, or perhaps even longer.
No matter how long he lived, by controlling the demon and being able to easily handle ordinary demons, he would certainly gain the attention of Dragon King Hall and be able to show his last burst of light and heat in life.
He was not so noble as to think only of sacrificing himself to save others.
He just wanted to burst into a brilliant display of fireworks in his final moments, making people remember him, Wang Hu.
And by controlling the demon, completing the various tasks arranged by Mu Jinyu, he could also make Mu Jinyu promise to take good care of his family.
Dragon King Hall surely wouldn't take great care of every member's family if they weren't of much value, but someone like him who made a major contribution would definitely receive special treatment!
Since he wasn't going to live much longer anyway, why not carve out a path for his family?
Thinking this way, Wang Hu looked down at his decaying right leg and gritted his teeth, "I am willing to try controlling the demon, I just hope that if your subordinate fails and dies, please Dragon Master make sure to take care of my family!"
"No problem," Mu Jinyu nodded, "I have already asked my fellow practitioners from Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere and Way of Nature to continuously make protective talismans, soon everyone in your family will be able to wear one."
"Today you're making such a sacrifice, regardless of whether it succeeds or fails, when the safe house on Dragon King Hall's side is ready, I will bring your family in."
Mu Jinyu made the promise.
Wang Hu is currently very important to Dragon King Hall, whether or not he could control the Demon, his trial would accumulate a lot of experience for Dragon King Hall.
As a pioneer, he deserved special treatment.
"Thank you, Dragon Master…"
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's assurance, Wang Hu's eyes showed a look of gratitude as he spoke repeatedly.
"Let's begin then!"
Mu Jinyu did not say anything more. Seeing Wang Hu agree, he went to contact Mu Hongchen and find some professional scholars to come over to observe Wang Hu's experiment and to analyze and study to increase the success rate for future attempts.
He himself then walked to the underground storeroom, which only he and Mu Hongchen could access.
After a series of checks, Mu Jinyu entered the gloomy storeroom and carried away the slightly moving Golden Coffin.
"Bang!"
Mu Jinyu walked out of the storeroom and hurried to the drill field, gently placing the Golden Coffin on the ground.
Seeing this, some members of Dragon King Hall warily kept a distance from the Golden Coffin.
At this time, a group of professional scholars brought by Mu Hongchen also got out of their cars, whispering and discussing among themselves.
"Are you ready?"
Li Yaotong had people carry another coffin containing a Ghost Bride down from the truck and asked Wang Hu.
