"They actually killed all of them."
"The people of the True Sword Sect are really too cruel."
"No, the truly cruel ones are the sect master and the elder. They are too terrifying. We can't afford to provoke them."
"The Five Trials of Life and Death of the Profound Water Palace are a huge joke."
All the disciples of the fifth trial of the Profound Water Palace had been killed, leaving no one alive. Their Space Rings had all become spoils of war.
"Sect master, these are the spoils of war this time." Elder Yun Feng collected all the Space Rings and handed them to Chu Mu.
Chu Mu only put away the five sacred rank spatial rings. The other spatial rings were evenly distributed to the elders and disciples, causing everyone to be incomparably happy.
There were gains and losses. Between life and death, the pressure was released, and their essence, qi, and spirit were greatly tempered. They had gained a lot from this trip.
"Let's go back to the sect," Chu Mu said. The group immediately sped up, heading back to the sect.
The Extreme Peak could only carry a few people at most. It was impossible to bring all the disciples back to the True Sword Sect at once.
Because they had to take care of the twenty Origin Realm and Spirit Condensation Realm disciples, they couldn't travel too fast. Fortunately, there was a mid-sized Space Ship in the Space Ring of the four-star Saint expert. Ling Fengxiao also had an even larger mid-sized Space Ship. Together with Chu Mu's Giant Sword, they were barely able to carry everyone.
On the way back to the True Sword Sect, Chu Mu thought about the development of the True Sword Sect.
The True Sword Sect had gained nothing from the Sect of Ten Thousand Sects Meeting other than getting into trouble. It was originally going to end miserably, but Chu Mu had returned in time and turned the situation around. He had turned the Five Trials of Life and Death of the Profound Water Palace into a way for the True Sword Sect to become famous.
It could be imagined that after this, the news would quickly spread throughout the entire Canglan Empire. It might even spread to the territories outside the empire. The three words' True Sword Sect 'would become a symbol that everyone was familiar with. It was a sect, a sect that didn't seem to be very powerful, but was very shocking.
When the time came, the True Sword Sect would definitely attract many geniuses who were dedicated to the way of the sword.
However, there was a prerequisite for that. That is, the True Sword Sect must be able to survive and develop.
All the elders and disciples of the Profound Water Palace had died in the Five Trials of Life and Death. It could be said that the Profound Water Palace had suffered a great loss this time. The disciples that had been sent to participate in the Myriad Sects Gathering were considered to be the elites of the sect. With their deaths, the Profound Water Palace's elite disciples and core disciples had suffered a great loss.
Not only did they lose many elite disciples, but they also lost five Saint level elders.
The overall strength of the Profound Water Palace could be ranked in the top one thousand among the various sects and factions of the Canglan Dynasty. However, the Palace Master was only at the Fifth Celestial Layer of the Aeon Realm. The Four-Star Saint who had been killed was the Second Elder of the Profound Water Palace.
Even the Second Elder was dead. Was such a loss great?
"The True Sword Sect is going to be famous in the Empire."
"That's what you say. Now, the True Sword Sect will have to suffer the wrath of the Profound Water Palace."
"That's right. The Profound Water Palace will not let go of such a great loss. They will definitely send out a large number of experts to destroy the True Sword Sect."
"As far as I know, the Profound Water Palace has a Six-Star Saint expert. If he moves, the True Sword Sect will not be able to resist. They will vanish in an instant."
"Let's wait and see. If the True Sword Sect can withstand the revenge of the Profound Water Palace, they will truly rise."
The news spread like a storm. In less than a day, apart from a few remote places, almost everyone in the Canglan Dynasty knew of the True Sword Sect's reputation.
"A pure sword cultivation sect."
"Their Sect Master is only at the Eighth Celestial Layer of Nirvana, but he can kill a One-Star Saint with one sword and a Two-Star Saint with two swords. Moreover, they have a Three-Star Sword Saint Elder."
In the northwest of the Canglan Dynasty, a black-clothed young man with a sword in his left hand raised his head and looked in the direction of the True Sword Sect. Then, he turned into a streak of light and flew toward the True Sword Sect.
"Father, mother, I want to join the True Sword Sect and learn the true Way of the Sword." In a small clan, a young man knelt down and bid farewell to his parents. After kowtowing, he stood up and set off with a metal sword on his back.
"True Sword Sect, let's see if they can survive this calamity. If they can, I will join your sect," a white-clothed young swordsman with a sharp gaze said to himself.
Some people seemed to be impulsive. They were attracted by the True Sword Sect's reputation and set off for the True Sword Sect. Some people even maintained a wait-and-see attitude. They wanted to see if the True Sword Sect could survive this calamity.
Everyone in the Canglan Dynasty Royal City was in a heated discussion.
"The Eighth Celestial Layer of Nirvana can actually kill a One-Star Saint and a Two-Star Saint …" The Canglan Emperor Huyan Zhan was shocked. His heart was in turmoil.
As the Emperor of the Empire, his own cultivation was extremely profound, reaching the level of the Nine Heavens of Eternity. What he cultivated was the secret imperial cultivation method of the Canglan Empire, which was many times more tyrannical than ordinary cultivation methods. In addition to the foundation of the Empire, the Canglan Emperor, Huyan Zhan, had an incomparably tyrannical strength. Among the Nine Star Martial Saints, he was one of the best.
Such an expert, who had controlled the dynasty for hundreds of years, was experienced and knowledgeable. It could be said that there were very few things that could surprise him, let alone shock him.
At this moment, his heart was in a state of turmoil, as if a storm was raging inside him.
The Eighth Celestial Layer of Nirvana could kill a One-Star Saint and even a Two-Star Saint. This was simply unheard of. He swore on his dignity as an emperor that he had never heard of such a thing in his thousands of years of life. This seemed to be the only case since ancient times.
"Perhaps there was such a heaven-defying monster in the ancient times." Huyan Zhan muttered to himself. However, he actually didn't fully believe it because it was too shocking. If it was true, then what kind of heaven-defying monster would it be? Once it matured, what kind of terrifying existence would it be?
He was afraid that the opponent could defeat him when he was an Eight-Star Saint.
"Eighth Prince, the True Sword Sect is just a small sect in a remote place. The previous sect leader was also a high-level Nirvana Realm expert, but his strength wasn't as strong. The current sect leader is Chu Mu. He first appeared in Yan Mountain and had a conflict with the Li Family of Yan Mountain. He was once a sword instructor in Sky Bearing Academy and had mastered the power of the sword. He is very powerful …"
In a garden in the palace, a yellow-robed figure sat by the lake, facing the rippling water. A sword was placed on his knees. As a prince, the scabbard of the sword was inlaid with gems. It looked incomparably gorgeous. Just the scabbard alone had a shocking value.
The Eighth Prince loved the sword since he was young. He loved practicing the sword. With the dynasty's foundation, he could naturally gather many profound sword arts and invite experts or even Sword Saints to be his instructors.
On the other hand, the Eighth Prince was quite talented in swordsmanship, and his improvement was remarkable.
When he heard that someone at the Eighth Heavenly Layer of Nirvana Realm could kill a One-Star Saint and even a Two-Star Saint, the shock in his heart was many times greater than his father's.
He immediately ordered his subordinates to gather information about the True Sword Sect, especially the Sect Leader of the True Sword Sect.
"Your Highness, do you want to summon Chu Mu?" The person bowed.
"No, the Profound Water Palace will definitely make things difficult. Let's see if the True Sword Sect can survive this calamity. If they can't, then send someone to inform the True Sword Sect and bring Chu Mu to see me." The Eighth Prince didn't turn his head. "Remember, if there is danger, the True Sword Sect can ignore it, but Chu Mu must be protected."
This incident had shaken the entire dynasty. The True Sword Sect had entered the eyes of the imperial family, and Chu Mu had attracted the attention of many people.
Right now, Huyan Zhan wasn't the only one paying attention to him. The various princes, nobles, and ministers were also paying attention to him.
Right now, they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, so they didn't completely believe it. With so many people watching, it was true that Chu Mu had killed a One-Star Saint and a Two-Star Saint at the Eighth Heavenly Layer of Nirvana Realm. However, it might not have been his true strength, but some kind of treasure.
Everything would have to wait until the True Sword Sect could withstand the Profound Water Palace's revenge.
…
In the Profound Water Palace, the Palace Master's face was ashen. The various Elders beneath him all had extremely unsightly expressions.
The Elders and disciples who had participated in the Myriad Sect Gathering had actually been wiped out. Moreover, they had been wiped out by a sect whose overall strength couldn't compare to the Profound Water Palace.
How could they accept this?
A large number of elite disciples had died, and five Elders had died in a row. Among them was the Second Elder, a Four-Star Saint. How could the Profound Water Palace bear such a loss?
On top of that, the Profound Water Palace's reputation had taken a huge hit.
The Profound Water Palace was a huge sect that had existed for thousands of years. It could be considered quite famous in the Azurewave Dynasty. Now, this matter had dealt a huge blow to its reputation. Reputation was extremely precious to any sect because it was necessary for the sect's development.
If the sect's reputation increased, more geniuses would join. If the number of geniuses decreased, who would join?
Without the addition of geniuses, the sect would gradually decline over time.
"Sect Master, we must take revenge," said the Third Elder in a low voice.
"Revenge, revenge must be taken. The True Sword Sect must be wiped out." The Profound Water Palace Master said, "But we can't act recklessly."
A Three-Star Sword Saint wasn't easy to deal with. The Profound Water Palace had already suffered heavy losses and was in imminent danger. They couldn't afford to lose any more.
"Palace Master, should we invite the Patriarch to come out?" asked an Elder.
…
The Li Clan in Yan Mountain also received the news. They were shocked because this name was the same as the one who had clashed with them back then.
The Skyblaze Sect, as a sect stronger than the Profound Water Palace, naturally received the news as well. When the news spread, Huo Zijian, who had once pursued Chu Mu, was stunned. He felt that this name was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't recall it. It took him a while to react. This name was the same as the one he had pursued a few years ago. Could it be the same person?
With this thought, Huo Zijian immediately found his master and reported this matter.
