Outside the main hall of the True Sword Sect, the disciples all gathered and looked in the direction of the Sect Master's Peak. The two golden streams of light that did not conceal their auras made them realize that something was wrong. They vaguely felt that something was about to happen.
The higher a cultivator's cultivation base was, the clearer their intuition towards danger was. Even though they didn't know what was going on, they felt a sense of dread in their hearts.
In the main hall, the atmosphere was extremely tense, as if swords were about to be drawn at any moment.
"Sect Leader Chu, I've studied your information. I've always felt that even though you're tough, you're a wise Sect Leader." The golden-robed man's eyebrows twitched as if they were about to rise. His expression became cold, and his tone became frosty as well. "You're the master of a sect. Any decision you make will affect the prosperity or decline of a sect, as well as the survival or death of tens of thousands of disciples in a sect. Don't make a single wrong decision and cause the foundation of the True Sword Sect to be destroyed overnight, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of disciples in the True Sword Sect."
The man in golden robes' voice became more and more severe, as if he was reprimanding his subordinates. Chu Mu frowned.
The people of the Battle King Sect were too self-righteous. They really thought that the True Sword Sect was their branch, and the people of the True Sword Sect were their subordinates. They could scold and order them around as they pleased.
"My True Sword Sect is founded on the sword. We believe in the Dao of the sword. We believe in being like a sword, we can bend and break, but we don't fear power. If you want to behave atrociously, I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place." Chu Mu suddenly stood up and straightened his back. His body was as straight as a sword as he pointed towards the sky. His aura was imposing as he soared into the sky. His eyes were filled with a sharp glint and sword intent. He went straight for the two envoys of the Battle King Sect, "Elders, listen to my orders. Capture these two."
"Yes." The Great Elder and the others shouted in unison. They had long found the two men in golden robes unpleasant to the eye.
A powerful Qi burst out. In the main hall, Sword Light flickered, dazzling and resplendent. A shocking sword intent surged, as if countless swords were colliding. Sparks flew in the air.
The expressions of the two envoys from the Battle King Sect changed drastically. They immediately used all their strength to retreat and rush out of the main hall.
Although the two of them were late-stage six-star Saints and believed they were no weaker than regular peak six-star Saints, there were a total of thirteen Saints in the main hall of the True Sword Sect. One of them was a peak six-star Saint who had been immersed in the Way of the Sword for thousands of years. Compared to them, his strength could only be greater.
Moreover, there was an early stage Six Star Saint Rank Sword Saint, and the others were Five Star Saint Rank, Four Star Saint Rank, Three Star Saint Rank, and so on and so forth. Just that peak Six Star Saint Rank Sword Saint was sufficient to fight the two of them. If the other Sword Saints were included, then they were utterly incapable of going against them head-on.
Although they were arrogant, the people of the War King Sect were not brainless. Before they came, they had already done their research on the True Sword Sect. They knew almost everything about the True Sword Sect, so they were naturally on guard.
In the blink of an eye, two streaks of golden light shot out of the sect's main hall. Immediately after, the True Sword Sect's Saints chased after them.
More than ten rays of light flashed across the sky. Their powerful aura shook the surroundings.
"Thieves, don't run!" Shouted the Great Elder furiously. His years of cultivation did not diminish his vigor and vitality. He raised his sword and slashed down. A huge sword light rose up like a sun, bringing with it an incomparably shocking power as it attacked the two envoys of the War King Sect.
The terrifying sword intent brought about a terrifying pressure. The expressions of the two envoys from the Battle King Sect changed drastically. No wonder he was a Sword Saint who had been immersed in sword cultivation for thousands of years. Although his talent was ordinary, his foundation was extremely solid. He had a shocking level of attainment in sword cultivation.
The two envoys of the War King Sect attacked one after another. Their Qi soared into the sky. A golden sword appeared in each of their hands. They looked extremely powerful and domineering.
They raised their swords and slashed down. Two huge Golden Sword Light shot out. Immediately after, the two of them reached out their hands. Golden light condensed in the center of their palms and shot out. It was extremely powerful. Its power was even more powerful than the Golden Sword Light.
The people of the War King Sect cultivated the sword as well as other things. Most of them were not sword cultivators, but they were still extremely powerful.
When they collided, an incomparably shocking energy wave spread out in all directions.
Using the energy wave, the two envoys of the War King Sect quickly retreated and escaped.
"Don't chase anymore." Chu Mu also flew over. He didn't explode with his full speed. He only maintained the level of a three-star Saint.
Hearing Chu Mu's words, the elders all stopped.
The reason why he told the elders to stop chasing was because Chu Mu had his own plans.
The two envoys of the War King Sect were six-star late stage Saints. Their strength wouldn't be any weaker than an ordinary peak six-star Saint. It was extremely difficult to capture them because the Great Elder and the others' strength wouldn't be able to suppress them. Once a real battle broke out, it would definitely cause unnecessary damage to the True Sword Sect. It might even cause a large number of disciples to die.
It wasn't difficult either. Chu Mu only needed to equip the Heavenly Puppet.
With the Heavenly Puppet's strength, it could easily capture the two envoys of the War King Sect. However, Chu Mu didn't plan to do that. The two envoys of the War King Sect wouldn't give up after leaving this time. Next time, it wouldn't just be the two of them.
According to the information gathered by Elder Yun Feng, the War King Sect wasn't an easy sect to deal with. Any sect that refused to submit to the War King Sect, regardless of whether they were third-rate or quasi second-rate, were all destroyed by the War King Sect.
This time, the True Sword Sect had directly refused to submit to the Battle King Sect. The Battle King Sect definitely wouldn't let this go. Therefore, Chu Mu had the two envoys of the Battle King Sect leave alive to give them a false impression that the True Sword Sect's strength was only so. Otherwise, if the two of them were left alive, the Battle King Sect would raise the threat level of the True Sword Sect and send even more experts.
When the time came, the War King Sect would send a large force to take revenge. Under the circumstances of underestimating the True Sword Sect's strength, it would be like throwing meat buns at a dog.
Either they didn't do it, or they would be more direct.
In the blink of an eye, the two envoys of the War King Sect rushed out of the True Sword Sect's mountain gate.
The formation of the True Sword Sect hadn't been activated yet, so they could come and go as they pleased.
"People of the True Sword Sect, listen up. Because of your sect leader's stupid decision, the True Sword Sect has become the enemy of the War King Sect. Soon, the True Sword Sect will be destroyed. You better take advantage of the time before the experts of the War King Sect arrive and leave the True Sword Sect. Otherwise, only death awaits you," shouted the golden-robed man.
The sharp and unkind golden-robed woman didn't say anything. Instead, she used her long and narrow eyes to sweep across the mountain gate of the True Sword Sect and the disciples of the True Sword Sect. The disdain in her eyes was extremely clear, and those with poor temperament would immediately go crazy. A hint of ridicule hung on her harsh lips. This golden-robed woman used her expression to explain what it meant to attract hatred.
"If you want to fight, then fight. No need to talk nonsense." Chu Mu's voice resounded.
"Alright, let's see if you can still be so stubborn when the time comes." The golden-robed man said angrily. The golden-robed woman's fierce gaze was as sharp as a knife. She glanced at Chu Mu's face as if she wanted to dig out a piece of his flesh.
Then, the two of them turned around and turned into two rays of golden light, quickly leaving.
Their departure wasn't the end, but the beginning.
…
"Sect leader, the people of the War King Sect are too arrogant," said the third elder in the main hall of the sect.
"It doesn't matter whether they are arrogant or not. We need to prepare. Soon, the people of the War King Sect will come again," said the second elder.
"We don't know the background and details of the War King Sect. This is a disadvantage." Chu Mu said, "However, the War King Sect doesn't know much about the True Sword Sect either. So, when the time comes, we will give them a big surprise."
"Sect leader, apart from us, does the True Sword Sect have any external help?" asked the fourth elder.
The other elders also had inquisitive looks on their faces.
From what they knew, the entire True Sword Sect only had fourteen saint rank experts, including the sect master. Including the other three guest elders, there were only seventeen. Among them, seven were still one star saints. Although Chu Mu wasn't a normal one star saint rank, he was probably equivalent to a three star saint rank.
The strongest of them all, the great elder, was only at the peak of six-star Saint.
As for the Radiant Sword Saint Xia Zhenkong, although he was a seven-star Saint, he wasn't an elder of the True Sword Sect. He was only a guest elder and was far away in another region. It would take more than a month to notify him and then rush back. The War King Sect wouldn't give the True Sword Sect that much time.
Could it be that they had to ask for help from the Canglan royal family?
That wasn't a good idea, but it was better than being destroyed by the War King Sect as a last resort.
"Elders, there's no need to waste time guessing. You will know when the time comes." Chu Mu smiled mysteriously. "Even if the War King Sect sends out a nine-star Saint, we won't be afraid."
Hearing this, everyone's hearts trembled.
Currently, the True Sword Sect didn't even have a single seven star Saint, let alone a nine star Saint that was many times stronger than a seven star Saint. In their place, a nine star Saint was simply an invincible existence that could destroy them with a single breath.
They didn't understand where the sect leader's confidence came from, but Chu Mu's tone and demeanor didn't seem like he was joking. Everyone suddenly realized something. Could it be that Chu Mu had obtained other opportunities in the Ancient Sacred City that could allow him to resist a nine-star Saint?
With this thought in mind, the Elders heaved a sigh of relief.
"Alright, elders, there's no need to think too much. What will come will come." Chu Mu said as he looked outside the main hall. "Moreover, this is also an opportunity. Elders, you can spread the news of the War King Sect and praise their strength. This is a chance to test whether the disciples are truly loyal to the sect. In addition, send down a strict order. Any disciple who leaves the True Sword Sect is not allowed to spread the True Sword Sect's sword techniques. Otherwise, we will investigate and kill without mercy!"
