Just like what Chu Mu had expected, the Great Elder was no match for Chu Mu.
The Great Elder was defeated after barely resisting for less than a quarter of an hour. However, the Great Elder's gains weren't small. This struggle of less than a quarter of an hour was better than half a year's worth of bitter training. His control over his own strength had deepened.
However, it was still not enough. He still needed to put in more effort before he could completely control the power of a Seven Star Martial Saint and fully unleash it.
"Sect Leader, I have lost." The Great Elder walked to Chu Mu and said apologetically. Although Chu Mu had said it before, he still felt bad about losing.
"It's okay." Chu Mu said.
"Sect Leader Chu, we have one win and one loss now." The Great Elder of Star Sword Sect laughed. It was as if the mountain that was pressing on him had disappeared. He felt relaxed and comfortable. "Now, only the two of us are left."
The leaders of the Wang Sword Sect and Wang Sword Sect were also relieved of a heavy burden and smiled joyfully.
They were going to win.
Two wins out of three. The Great Elder of Star Sword Sect could definitely defeat Chu Mu. Chu Mu would definitely not be a match for the Great Elder of Star Sword Sect.
"Sect Leader Chu, we are the ones who have come to your sect with requests. I am very sorry about that." The Great Elder of Star Sword Sect looked at Chu Mu and said apologetically. "So, I will let Sect Leader Chu make the first move. I promise that I will not fight back within three moves."
The Great Elder of Star Sword Sect said. Xia Zhenkong and the Great Elder showed disdain.
"You have once again refreshed the definition of shamelessness." Chu Mu looked at the Great Elder and said seriously.
The Great Elder of Star Sword Sect's expression changed but he did not say anything.
"Three moves, right? Take this." Chu Mu said and waved his finger. Suddenly, a sword light shot out. The sword light was condensed and it was enough to kill a Five Star Saint.
The difference between a Five Star Saint and a Seven Star Saint was too great. Hence, Chu Mu's move was completely useless against his opponent.
For the second move, Chu Mu agreed not to use his sword. Instead, he pointed out his sword finger. The extremely condensed sword light turned into a point of starlight and shot out. It was faster and more powerful, but it still couldn't do anything to his opponent.
"Sect Master Chu, you only have one last chance left," the Star Sword Sect's Great Elder casually dodged Chu Mu's two attacks and said, pretending to be a good person.
"Then take this. The third move." As soon as Chu Mu's voice fell, his eyes flashed with a sharp light.
The eyes of Ou Yangming's primordial spirit in his spiritual world also emitted bright lights. The Soul-cracking Wheel, which he had refined to level 4, instantly shot out.
Although the Soul-cracking Wheel was a manifestation of the power of the primordial spirit, it couldn't be seen with the naked eye. Only the power of the soul could sense it.
The moment the Soul-cracking Wheel shot out, the Star Sword Sect's Great Elder suddenly felt a chill in his primordial spirit. However, the distance between them was only a few dozen meters. To the Soul-cracking Wheel, this distance was far too close.
He only felt the chill, but before he could react, the Soul-cracking Wheel had already shot into his spiritual world.
The Star Sword Sect's Great Elder immediately reacted. He knew that Ou Yangming had used a primordial spirit attack.
Those who practised primordial spirit attack secret techniques weren't necessarily practitioners of the Way of the Primordial Spirit. Those who were qualified to be called practitioners of the Way of the Primordial Spirit all had stronger souls and stronger primordial spirits than others.
For example, some Saint experts with normal power of souls and ordinary primordial spirits could practise primordial spirit secret techniques as long as they met the conditions.
For example, very few people knew that the Star Sword Sect's Great Elder had actually practised a primordial spirit secret technique as well. It was a defensive primordial spirit secret technique. Although it was only a level-two defensive primordial spirit secret technique, it allowed his level-four primordial spirit to have a defensive ability that others didn't have.
The Star Sword Sect's Great Elder was surprised at first, but then he relaxed. This was because he felt that Ou Yangming was only a beginner two-star Saint. No matter how powerful his primordial spirit was, it would probably only be a level-two. Even if he was a practitioner of the Way of the Primordial Spirit, it would at most be a level-three primordial spirit attack secret technique.
A level-three primordial spirit attack secret technique driven by a level-three primordial spirit wouldn't be able to harm a level-four primordial spirit with a level-two defensive primordial spirit at all.
However, before he could be proud of himself, his face became extremely ugly. This was because he could already feel that the primordial spirit attack that had entered his spiritual world wasn't a level-two or level-three primordial spirit attack. It was a level-four primordial spirit attack.
Outside of the Star Sword Sect's Great Elder's bronze primordial spirit, there was a layer of green light that enveloped his entire primordial spirit. It was a level-two defensive primordial spirit secret technique.
A level-two defensive primordial spirit secret technique couldn't withstand a level-four soul wheel at all. In that instant, it was like a piece of paper being torn apart by a sharp blade, heading straight for the primordial spirit.
The light of the bronze primordial spirit was activated and formed the final layer of defense. It firmly resisted the soul wheel's attack.
However, the soul wheel spun at high speed and constantly cut, gradually cutting through the light of the bronze primordial spirit.
In the outside world, the Star Sword Sect's Great Elder's forehead was covered in cold sweat. It flowed down like a stream. His face was pale and filled with panic.
Chu Mu didn't plan on killing him, so he only used the soul wheel to cut through the light of the Star Sword Sect's Great Elder's bronze primordial spirit defense. It stopped when it approached his primordial spirit.
"Lose or die, you choose one." Chu Mu opened his mouth and spoke in an extremely calm tone.
"I admit defeat." The Star Sword Sect's Great Elder hurriedly said. He knew that as long as Lin Fan willed it, the terrifying black wheel would cut his primordial spirit open.
Once his primordial spirit was cut open, it would be a dead end. He didn't want to die. At least, he didn't want to be killed in such a situation. That would undoubtedly be very frustrating.
Hearing the Star Sword Sect's Great Elder's words, the Wang Sword Sect and Wang Sword Sect's Sect Leaders were both stunned. It was as if their brains had turned stiff and they couldn't react.
Lost?
Lost just like that?
Impossible, this is completely impossible. The other party is merely a two star early stage Martial Saint. How could he possibly defeat a seven star early stage Martial Saint?
In that instant, the Wang Sword Sect and Wang Sword Sect's Sect Leaders even suspected that the Star Sword Sect had colluded with the Real Sword Sect and deliberately set up a trap for them to jump into.
However, the two of them were very clear that they didn't. From the beginning, it was the three sects who had teamed up to attack the Real Sword Sect.
Now, they had gone for wool and come home shorn.
In that instant, the two of them felt darkness before their eyes.
"I didn't expect you to be a Primordial Spirit Cultivator." The Star Sword Sect's Great Elder's face was still pale, and his voice was extremely dry.
When the Wang Sword Sect and Wang Sword Sect's Sect Leaders heard that, they were instantly shocked. They knew very well what it meant to be a Primordial Spirit Cultivator.
Then, they thought that since Lin Fan could make the Star Sword Sect's Great Elder admit defeat, didn't that mean that his primordial spirit had at least reached the fourth level?
Oh my god, a two-star beginner saint's primordial spirit had reached the fourth level. What was going on?
Xia Zhenkong and the True Sword Sect's Great Elder were also very shocked when they heard the Star Sword Sect's Great Elder's words. At the same time, after thinking about it, they couldn't hide the shock on their faces.
"Three battles, two out of three. You all have made a sword oath. I don't think you'll go back on your words," Chu Mu said with a smile.
When Chu Mu found out about the three sects' intentions, he started to think. After sorting out his thoughts, he buried a plan. Of course, this plan wasn't 100% feasible, but the probability of success was at least 70%.
As for the 30% probability of failure, it wasn't that Chu Mu and the others had lost, but that the other sects weren't willing to accept such a battle.
Chu Mu was confident in the True Sword Sect, and obviously, the other three sects were also very confident in themselves.
The clash between confidence and confidence was decided just like that.
The three of them were all gloomy. That feeling was the gloominess of having their hopes dashed. They felt that everything had become meaningless.
If they lost, it meant that they had lost three sects.
Were they going to deny it?
They had made a sword oath. Once they went back on their words, the consequences would be severe.
"Sect Leader Chu, I need to return to the sect first and report this matter to the Sect Leader." The Star Sword Sect's Great Elder said.
"What about the two Sect Leaders?" Chu Mu looked at the Wang Sword Sect's Sect Leaders and asked.
"We have to make a trip back too." The two Sect Leaders said.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble the Great Elder and Guest Elder Xia to go with the three of you." Chu Mu said to the Great Elder and Xia Zhenkong.
Although the three of them weren't too happy about it, they didn't object. They had already lost. According to the oath, the three sects would become branches of the True Sword Sect from now on. In other words, they were vassals.
Chu Mu had the True Sword Sect's Great Elder and Xia Zhenkong's Foreign Minister go with him for a reason. It was to supervise and prevent any more changes. Furthermore, he was preparing to accept the surrender of the three great sects.
If it was only the Great Elder going alone, Chu Mu wouldn't be at ease because the Great Elder was only at the beginning stage of the seven star saint rank. His strength wasn't strong enough. However, with Xia Zhenkong, it was different. He was an absolute existence that could kill an eight star saint rank.
"Yes, Sect Leader." The Great Elder bowed. While he sighed in his heart, he was also overjoyed.
The True Sword Sect was really going to develop. It was in the hands of the Sect Leader.
With three more sects as branches, the True Sword Sect's strength would increase greatly. They would jump from the bottom of the second-rate forces to the middle of the upper tier forces.
Of course, the branches wouldn't truly submit. But the Great Elder believed that with the Sect Leader's methods, he would definitely be able to integrate the three sects into the True Sword Sect and strengthen the True Sword Sect.
Next, the Great Elder and Xia Zhenkong left the True Sword Sect with the three of them and headed to the Cloud Region.
