Lin Wufang and the others didn't say anything, because they knew that Chu Mu would respond.
Sure enough, Chu Mu's eyes became extremely sharp, as if two peerless swords had been unsheathed. They pierced through the void and aimed directly at Qin Zhenyu's eyes. Qin Zhenyu's eyes were also as sharp as swords. Their gazes collided in the void.
"Tell me why you've come." Chu Mu opened his mouth and his tone was very calm.
Chu Mu's answer was completely out of everyone's expectations. Whether it was Lin Wufang and the others or Qin Zhenyu, they all thought that Chu Mu's reaction would be fierce, and his answer would also be sharp and fierce. However, Chu Mu gave an answer that was beyond their imagination.
Immediately, Lin Wufang and the others thought about it and felt that there was more to it.
Qin Zhenyu's pupils shrank slightly, but Chu Mu caught it. Immediately, a strange smile appeared on his face. He said slowly, "Very smart. You're qualified to be my sword attendant. However, this is not the most important thing today. The most important thing is that my Junior Brother Chen has some doubts about you representing the Night Darkness Galaxy to compete with the geniuses of other galaxies."
Lin Wufang and the others only reacted when they heard this. This was probably the main purpose of Qin Zhenyu's visit.
If Chen Gang had come to challenge Chu Mu himself, Chu Mu could have refused or even ignored him. After all, Chen Gang had been defeated by Beichen Lie's sword in the Celestial Realm, and Beichen Lie had admitted defeat under Chu Mu's sword. The result was clear.
However, the fact that Qin Zhenyu brought Chen Gang here and said these words had a different meaning. Because of Qin Zhenyu's identity, as the only disciple of the Dark Night Emperor, he could not be underestimated or treated lightly.
Since Qin Zhenyu had spoken, Lin Wufang and the others couldn't interfere. If Chu Mu refused, it would be tantamount to offending Qin Zhenyu, the successor of a Great Emperor. To a certain extent, it would indirectly offend a Great Emperor.
Chu Mu, on the other hand, was wondering why Qin Zhenyu would bring Chen Gang here to do such a thing.
The Dark Night Emperor was a member of the Dark Night Sword Sect. Since Qin Zhenyu was the Dark Night Emperor's successor, he naturally belonged to the Dark Night Sword Sect as well. However, his status was definitely above Chen Gang's.
Unless Qin Zhenyu was a good friend of Chen Gang and was standing up for him, there must be another "conspiracy".
That's right, Qin Zhenyu purposely came here to suppress Chu Mu because of the Night Emperor's careless words.
However, he himself was over a hundred years old, his cultivation was at the fifth level of the Nirvana Realm, and he was the successor of a Martial Monarch. All these factors made it difficult for him to deal with Chu Mu directly. On the other hand, after Chen Gang was defeated this time, he felt ashamed and gained courage. He had made a breakthrough, and his strength had improved slightly.
Qin Zhenyu had watched every battle. In the battle between Chen Gang and Beichen Lie, Chen Gang had lost by a small margin. If they fought again, Chen Gang might not necessarily lose, but Beichen Lie might lose.
In the battle between Beichen Lie and Chu Mu, Beichen Lie had admitted defeat. However, they hadn't been in peak condition during the battle. Therefore, it was hard to say who was stronger in this battle.
Therefore, it was hard to say who would win the battle between Chen Gang and Chu Mu.
If Chen Gang won, it would be like slapping Chu Mu's face and the Five Elements Sword Sect's face. If Chen Gang lost, it would be normal because Chu Mu was the winner of the Battle of the Celestial Boundary.
Qin Zhenyu looked at Chu Mu calmly, waiting for Chu Mu's reply. He felt that Chu Mu wouldn't refuse, nor would he dare to refuse.
"Is this your idea?" Chu Mu ignored Qin Zhenyu. His sharp gaze swept over Chen Gang. He didn't know why, but it made Chen Gang's heart jump.
"That's right." Chen Gang's eyes were bloodshot. He calmed down and replied coldly.
"As the loser, do you think you're qualified to do that?" Chu Mu's rhetorical question was like a sharp sword that pierced straight through Chen Gang's heart. Suddenly contracting, Chen Gang's pupils trembled and his face changed. A wave of baleful aura emanated from his body.
Chen Gang was extremely unwilling to accept his defeat in the Battle of the Celestial Boundary. He faintly felt that it was a disgrace. Now that Chu Mu had brought it up, his anger was about to erupt.
"Chu Mu, I don't think you're qualified to represent the Night Nether Galaxy." Chen Gang's tone was filled with resentment.
"You'll be representing the Night Nether Galaxy in the third stage of the Battle of the Heavenly Genius List. You can't be careless. If you're not strong enough, you'll only be a joke," Qin Zhenyu said indifferently. Qin Zhenyu faintly spoke, standing on Chen Gang's side. His purpose was to force Chu Mu to fight against Chen Gang.
"Chu Mu, do you dare to fight against me? If you don't, admit it and give up your spot," Chen Gang taunted.
"If I don't fight against you, I'll have to give up my spot. If I lose, I'll also have to give up my spot. But if I win, what price do you have to pay?" Chu Mu wasn't angry at all. He calmly countered.
"If you win, it means you're qualified." Chen Gang's words caused the others to sneer. Such a method was the same as someone who only wanted to gain without paying a price. How shameless.
"If you defeat Chen Gang, we'll use the name of the Night Sword Sect to acknowledge you as the number one genius of the Night Nether Galaxy. The other geniuses of the Night Nether Galaxy won't be able to challenge you. You'll be qualified to represent the Night Nether Galaxy." Qin Zhenyu continued, "If not, what awaits you will be endless challenges."
"Not enough." Chu Mu shook his head. He could fight against Chen Gang, but the conditions had to satisfy him first. What Qin Zhenyu said wasn't attractive at all.
"Then what else do you want?" Qin Zhenyu asked.
"What can you take out?" Chu Mu countered.
Chen Gang felt extremely sullen.
"What? You don't even want to give me face?" Qin Zhenyu was infuriated. His gaze was as sharp as a blade, slicing Chu Mu's face. His tone turned cold as well.
"Sir Qin, Chu Mu has already obtained the first place in the Astral Realm. This is the truth. Since you want to challenge him and use the spot of the third stage of the Heavenly Genius Rankings as a wager, you should pay a corresponding price," Lin Wufang said impolitely.
He personally came to receive Qin Zhenyu because of the Dark Night Emperor. If Qin Zhenyu wasn't the successor of the Dark Night Sword Sect, even if he was the son of the Dark Night Sword Sect's Sect Leader, he wouldn't have bothered.
However, it was one thing to give face to the Dark Night Emperor. After all, he was the Sect Leader of an overlord-class sect. Although his strength wasn't as strong as the Dark Night Emperor, he was still an expert and a reputable figure. The successor of the Dark Night Emperor was worthy of his respect, but it wasn't to the extent of flattery. Even if the other party was a Dark Night Emperor, he still had the dignity of a Sect Leader.
Chu Mu was now the living signboard of the Five Elemental Sword Sect. He was the sect protecting treasure of the Five Elemental Sword Sect. No matter whether Chu Mu was able to enter the Heavenly Azure Ranking in the end, or what his ranking was on the Heavenly Azure Ranking, it didn't change the fact that he was in the limelight.
No matter how arrogant Qin Zhenyu was, he knew that he couldn't make a Sect Leader yield. His face was a little gloomy and his eyes were shining. No one knew what he was thinking.
"If there aren't any conditions that I'm satisfied with, I won't keep you company." Chu Mu didn't want to waste time here.
"Wait a minute. If you win, apart from the above conditions, this item will be yours." Qin Zhenyu flipped his palm and a fist-sized crystal appeared.
This crystal was transparent and silver. It looked like a silver crystal with an irregular shape. There were many mirror surfaces on it and every mirror surface was smooth and flat. It was so transparent that one could see the inside clearly. When one looked through it, it seemed like it could reflect light.
This wasn't the main point. The main point was that this irregular crystal was emitting a wisp of ethereal aura. It was an aura that Chu Mu felt was very familiar and comfortable.
"Spatial Law Energy Crystal …" Lin Wufang was shocked.
The Power of Heaven and Earth was divided into Laws and Laws. When the Power of Heaven and Earth was condensed, it would form a crystal. When the Power of Heaven and Earth was condensed, it would also form a crystal.
However, the crystals formed by the Power of Heaven and Earth were very rare. This was because there were two ways to form this kind of energy. The first way was to form it naturally, which was to form it in a place where the energy was especially rich. After many years, it would gather little by little until it finally formed a line. As time passed, it would gradually become purer and purer. It was a natural crystal.
The other way was for experts who were proficient in a certain kind of energy to use their own means to forcibly condense it into a crystal. It was a man-made crystal.
There wasn't much difference between natural and man-made crystals.
But no matter which way it was, it was very difficult. Natural formation required an excellent environment and a long time, while man-made formation required an expert who was proficient in a certain kind of energy and had the help of a suitable environment and time to condense it.
This expert wasn't an ordinary expert. Ordinary Saint-level experts wouldn't be able to do it at all. At the very least, it required a high-level Saint-level expert to have this ability. Of course, mid-level Saint-level experts also had this ability, but it was very difficult and would take a longer time. Moreover, it would cause some damage to oneself. They wouldn't do such a thing at all.
It wasn't hard to imagine how precious a piece of law force crystal was, especially a spatial law force crystal, which was several times more precious than ordinary law force crystals. This was because spatial law force was more profound and harder to comprehend and grasp than other law forces.
The Spatial Law Energy Crystal in Qin Zhenyu's hand might have been given to him by Emperor Ye Ming, or he might have obtained it by chance.
No matter which it was, in short, he offered it as a condition, and Chu Mu was moved.
If he could obtain this Spatial Law Energy Crystal and refine it, his control of the Spatial Law Energy would obviously improve in a short period of time.
If it was used in the cultivation of the Spatial Law Energy, it would also be of obvious help.
Looking away from the Spatial Law Energy Crystal in Qin Zhenyu's hand, Chu Mu's eyes became sharper …
