A flying ship flew to a mountain and landed. A few people rushed out of the flying ship. Their robes were of the same style. Obviously, they were from the same faction.
"Look around," the leader, an old man, said coldly.
"Yes." Everyone immediately spread out and searched around.
Not long after, they found the broken pieces left behind by the explosion of a flying ship.
"Keep looking," the old man said coldly.
After searching for a while, they found the grave.
"The grave of the True Sword Sect's vice sect master …" The old man smiled sinisterly. "Dig it up and see if it's real."
The grave was dug up and the corpse was taken out.
After careful inspection, the old man smiled. "Fu Wensheng, no matter how you escape, you will still die in the end."
Immediately, the old man's expression changed drastically as if he had thought of something important. He scanned the corpse with his powerful Divine Sense very carefully. He did not miss anything inside or out.
"It's gone, it's gone …" Although he had thought of it before, after careful inspection, the old man still found it hard to accept.
"Damn Fu Wensheng. Even if he died, he still wanted to kill me," the old man said angrily. With a wave of his hand, a powerful force bombarded the corpse, causing it to shatter.
"The Sword Sect's spiritual seal should be mine." The old man was furious. "No matter what, we must find it."
Everyone immediately searched around, not letting go of any clues. In the end, they confirmed that someone had indeed been here and had left not long ago. It was very likely that this person had taken away the Sword Sect's spiritual seal.
They could only confirm that it was a person. It was not easy to find the person, but the old man would definitely not give up because the Sword Sect's spiritual seal was very important.
…
The wide road led to an unknown place. In the sky above the road, a figure was flying quickly. It was Chu Mu. In the blink of an eye, he had flown hundreds of meters away.
Using the Giant Sword flying ship, the speed was indeed very fast, but the problem was that the energy consumption was also very fast. His Inner Core was being consumed like it was worthless. In addition, Chu Mu did not know where to go at the moment. Without a clear destination, he simply put away the flying ship and flew at a normal speed.
This method was the most energy-conserving method. To him, it could be said that he did not consume any energy at all.
At this moment, a few silhouettes appeared in front of them. Their speed was extremely fast, and they quickly flew over. They seemed to be in a sorry state.
Following behind those silhouettes were close to ten silhouettes. Their speed was also very fast. Furthermore, they were surging with killing intent. It would appear that they were pursuers.
This was a play between the pursuer and the hunted. Although Chu Mu didn't know why he encountered this, it had nothing to do with him. He didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.
However, he quickly changed his mind because his sensitive hearing had heard the other party's words. Although it was incomplete, Chu Mu was sure that he had indeed heard the words "True Sword Sect".
Since it was related to the True Sword Sect, Chu Mu had no choice but to interfere.
"Get out of the way." Seeing Chu Mu appear in front of them, the pursuers hurriedly shouted. However, there was nothing they could do. Chu Mu's goal was to stop them. With a slash of his Sword Light, golden light shone in the sky. It seemed to have cut off the sky, forcing the pursuers to stop. The golden Sword Light was too sharp. If they collided with it, they would definitely die.
With this delay, the nine people behind caught up and quickly surrounded them, including Chu Mu.
"Li Xiao, I've said it before. You won't be able to escape," sneered the leader of the pursuers. He was a one-eyed man.
The pursuers did not say anything. Instead, they glared at Chu Mu viciously. They felt that it was because of Chu Mu's interception that they had been caught up and surrounded.
"Friend, thank you for stopping us. However, leave the rest to us. Back off so you don't get caught in the crossfire."
"You're disciples of the True Sword Sect?" Chu Mu ignored them. Instead, he looked at the people he had stopped and asked.
"You've asked the right question. We're all disciples of the True Sword Sect. However, these people are traitors of the True Sword Sect," said the one-eyed man.
"Hong Li, you're the traitors," Li Xiao said angrily. "When the vice sect master returns, you'll regret it."
"How many vice sect masters are there in the True Sword Sect?" Chu Mu asked.
"One," someone replied.
Chu Mu immediately understood.
The person who had given him the True Sword Sect's spirit seal was the only vice sect master of the True Sword Sect. Then, according to these people, the pursuers belonged to the vice sect master, while the pursuers were enemies.
With the situation clear, Chu Mu naturally knew what to do.
"I'll give you a chance. Leave now. The further the better," Chu Mu looked at the one-eyed man and said indifferently.
The nine one-eyed men were stunned at first. Then, they laughed.
"Since you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, don't blame us for being ruthless." The one-eyed man sneered. In his eyes, Chu Mu's aura wasn't strong. Combined with Chu Mu's appearance and his young age, he felt that Chu Mu's strength wasn't that strong. Moreover, there were nine of them. The one-eyed man's cultivation was the highest, at the Third Sky of Nirvana Realm. The other eight were all at the Second Sky of Nirvana Realm.
"Seems like you won't listen to my advice." Chu Mu said indifferently. Then, he pointed his finger like a sword and slashed through the void. The golden sword light was like a thread that circled around. In an instant, other than the one-eyed man who sensed danger and quickly dodged, the other eight didn't have time. They all felt a pain in their necks. Then, their vision turned dark because their heads were cut off.
Blood gushed out like a fountain. Their corpses fell.
Dumbfounded. Everyone was dumbfounded. They looked at Chu Mu at a loss. The one-eyed man's face was filled with shock. His face was pale and his body was trembling.
He didn't even draw his sword. He didn't even use any powerful sword technique. He actually killed eight of his junior brothers. Each of them was at the Second Sky of Nirvana Realm.
Suddenly, the one-eyed man burst out with all his speed. He didn't attack, but ran away. However, since Chu Mu had made his move, he wouldn't let him run away. He pointed his sword finger. In an instant, a golden light pierced through the sky like a meteor. It penetrated the one-eyed man's head from the back and came out between his eyebrows.
The one-eyed man widened his eyes in shock. His corpse fell.
Li Xiao and the other three were trembling. Li Xiao's cultivation was the highest, at the Early Third Sky of Nirvana Realm. The other three were at the Second Sky of Nirvana Realm. Even the one-eyed man was killed in an instant, let alone them.
"Do you know where Elder Yun Feng is?" Chu Mu stared at Li Xiao and asked slowly, "Your Vice Sect Leader asked me to pass on a message to him."
"Do you know our Vice Sect Leader?" Li Xiao didn't answer. Instead, he asked cautiously.
"I do." Chu Mu said.
"May I ask where our Vice Sect Leader is?" Li Xiao and the other three were excited.
"Take me to see Elder Yun Feng." Chu Mu said.
"Okay, I'll take you there." Li Xiao pondered for a moment and said.
Chu Mu nodded and quickly left with Li Xiao and the other three. However, before he left, he took all the interspatial rings from the nine people he killed. Those were his spoils of war.
…
Li Xiao and the other three led Chu Mu into a city. After several twists and turns in the streets, they came to an ordinary courtyard and knocked on the door. Chu Mu noticed the way Li Xiao knocked on the door. There was a certain pattern. It was obviously a secret signal.
The door opened. Li Xiao and the other three entered first while Chu Mu waited outside. After a while, the door opened again. It was Li Xiao who led Chu Mu in.
"Sir, this is Elder Yun Feng." After leading Chu Mu inside, Li Xiao gestured to a middle-aged man with a small beard and introduced him.
Elder Yun Feng exuded a scholarly aura.
"Sir, may I ask where our Vice Sect Leader is now?" Elder Yun Feng's eyes lit up as he asked.
"He's dead." Chu Mu said indifferently. Instantly, Elder Yun Feng and Li Xiao's eyes widened. Their faces were filled with astonishment and shock. They didn't know what to do.
"Sir, please don't joke." Elder Yun Feng reacted and said.
"I'm not joking. When I met your Vice Sect Leader, he was heavily injured and on the verge of death." Chu Mu said, "Before he died, he asked me to bring the Sword Sect Spiritual Seal to you."
"Sword Sect Spiritual Seal." Chu Mu revealed another piece of shocking news.
Li Xiao and Elder Yun Feng felt their minds in a mess.
Sword Sect Spiritual Seal … Vice Sect Leader is dead …
After a long while, Elder Yun Feng forced himself to calm down.
Although the Vice Sect Leader's death was sad, when he thought about how he was hunted down and injured, he wasn't that surprised.
Although the Vice Sect Leader's death was a pity, the most important thing was that the Sword Sect Spiritual Seal wasn't lost. Instead, he was asked to bring it back.
"Sir, where's the Sword Sect Spiritual Seal?" Elder Yun Feng asked excitedly. It wasn't that he was cold-blooded, but the Vice Sect Leader's life couldn't be compared to the Sword Sect Spiritual Seal. Because the Vice Sect Leader represented one person, while the Sword Sect Spiritual Seal was the inheritance of the true sword sect. It was a symbol that represented everyone. It was clear which was more important. In Yun Feng's opinion, even his own life couldn't be compared to the Sword Sect Spiritual Seal.
Chu Mu took out the Sword Sect Spiritual Seal. The moment the Sword Sect Spiritual Seal appeared in Chu Mu's hand, it immediately trembled and emitted a milky white light.
Li Xiao and Yun Feng both stared blankly at the glowing Sword Sect Spiritual Seal, dumbfounded.
"El … Elder …" Li Xiao stuttered, "The … Sword … Sword Sect Spiritual Seal … is glowing … white …"
"I … I know …" Yun Feng also stuttered a little.
Chu Mu handed the Sword Sect Spiritual Seal over. Unexpectedly, Yun Feng subconsciously took three steps back. When he reacted, he directly knelt down and shouted, "Elder Yun Feng greets the Sect Leader."
"Disciple Li Xiao greets the Sect Leader." Li Xiao also reacted and immediately took a few steps back. After Elder Yun Feng, he knelt down before Chu Mu and shouted.
Chu Mu was stunned. He realized that his previous guess was true. Because the Sword Sect Spiritual Seal was glowing for some reason, he was recognized as the Sect Leader of the true sword sect. In other words, the Sword Sect Spiritual Seal had its own function. If one obtained its recognition, they could become the Sect Leader of the true sword sect.
