There were five cities in the Land of Exile: Bloodbath City, Black Demon City, Dragon Slaying City, Silver City, and Green Fiend City. Among the five cities, Bloodbath City was the oldest because it was the first city to be built. The other four cities were built around the same time.
However, the strength of the five cities was about the same. It was hard to tell who was better because the rulers of the five cities were the five Kings of the Seven Kings.
The Seven Kings were Bloodbath King, Black Demon King, Dragon Slaying King, Silver King, Green Fiend King, Flowing Light King, and Mysterious King.
Among them, Bloodbath King, Black Demon King, Dragon Slaying King, Silver King, and Green Fiend King were the rulers of the five cities. They also controlled a huge ancient force. Their strength was about the same, and so was the strength of their forces. Lastly, Flowing Light King and Mysterious King were solitary experts. It was rumored that they didn't control any forces.
The Seven Kings were the strongest cultivators in the Land of Exile. They stood at the peak of the Land of Exile. Their strength had already surpassed the Saint realm and reached an even higher level.
Among the Seven Kings, other than Mysterious King, the other six Kings had their own inheritors, which were their last disciples. To be chosen by the Six Kings as their last disciples, the six of them naturally had their own strengths.
Their talents were outstanding, and they were powerful.
In the Land of Exile, the legend of the Six Great Stars originated from these six people. In other words, it was directly related to these six people.
The reason why the City of Silver was called the City of Silver was because of the color of the City Lord's Mansion. It was silver-white, and it was built with Silver Stone.
The Silver Stone's hardness was shocking. Even Silver Sinners would find it hard to destroy it. Under the protection of the seal, the Silver Sinners' full strength attack wouldn't be damaged at all.
It was unknown how much manpower and energy was used to build such a mansion.
In the Silver Mansion, there were countless towers. Each tower was silver-white, and they were all built with Silver Stone.
Among them, there were two that were the most special. The two towers were like two swords, pointing to the sky. One was bigger and taller, while the other was smaller and lower. The lower tower was still fifty meters tall.
On the top floor of the fifty-meter-tall Silver Sword Tower stood a young man in a silver-white robe. His long hair was as white as snow, and he held a sword in his hand, pointing it forward.
Hair like snow, sword like frost!
He felt a chill around him. That chill was not the chill of ice and snow, but it was even colder than ice and snow.
His eyes flickered like two silver-white stars, and his aura spread out in all directions, fluctuating in a strange way.
This person was using his own method to cultivate.
As if sensing something, the aura surrounding Xiao Chen quickly calmed down and withdrew. His silver-white star-like eyes also returned to their original black color. Xiao Chen flipped his hand and drew out a silver sword flower. The frost-like longsword instantly turned illusory, turning into strands of silver-white light that flowed into his hand and disappeared.
His gaze pierced through the Sword Gauntlet and looked into the distance. "Are they finally here …"
…
Chu Mu stopped in front of a tall building.
If he wanted to go to the Black Deity Gigantic Sword, he could go by himself. However, Chu Mu was not familiar with this place, nor was he familiar with the roads. He did not have any suitable tools, so if he were to go by himself, it would undoubtedly take a lot of time.
Furthermore, the Black Deity Gigantic Sword was revered by countless people. Countless people carried the hearts of sinners and planned to head to the Black Deity Gigantic Sword to offer sacrifices, so as to receive a reward. While the journey was long, there was also the possibility of encountering danger. Humans were intelligent creatures, so under such circumstances, they would naturally make changes.
This change, this method, was for the powerful factions to specially set up a corresponding branch, and have specialized cultivators escort them to the Black Deity Gigantic Sword. It was fast and relatively safe.
Of course, as the price, one had to pay the corresponding hearts of sinners.
The building that Chu Mu came to was one of the branches of the Full Moon Inn, one of the few factions in the City of Silver other than the City Lord's Residence. It was also a branch that was specially responsible for traveling to and from the Black Deity Gigantic Sword.
"How many people are heading to the Black Deity Gigantic Sword?" The moment Chu Mu entered, he saw someone registering in front of him. The person raised his head and glanced at Chu Mu. He didn't mind and asked casually.
"One," Chu Mu said.
"Pay a hundred Hearts of Black Iron. Gather at this building in three days and set off together. We won't wait for you if you're late," the person in charge of registration quickly said.
Although news of Chu Mu's aura, appearance, and name had spread like wildfire in the outside world, and many people in the five cities knew about it, not everyone deliberately paid attention to it.
It was normal for this person to not recognize Chu Mu.
Even if Chu Mu were to walk on the streets, many people wouldn't recognize him. This was because more than ten days ago, news of Chu Mu had suddenly stopped. In the past ten days, other matters of all sizes had happened, causing the attention that people paid to Chu Mu to decrease greatly.
They also didn't expect that Chu Mu would come to the City of Silver.
A hundred Hearts of Black Iron sounded like a lot. It was equivalent to a hundred Black Iron Sinners. To an ordinary mid-level Saint, especially a four-star Saint, hunting a hundred Black Iron Sinners was very difficult. Furthermore, this was only the cost. After arriving at the Black Deity Gigantic Sword, one still needed to sacrifice the Sinner's Heart to receive a reward.
To the current Chu Mu, a hundred Hearts of Black Iron were nothing. He directly took it out and handed it to the other party. The other party was a little surprised that a beginner four-star Saint could take out a hundred Hearts of Black Iron. From his expression, he didn't seem to care at all.
However, this had nothing to do with him. He just needed to do his job well.
"Here, this is your boarding pass. Keep it safe. Gather here in three days. If you lose the pass, you have to pay another hundred Hearts of Black Iron and wait for the next shuttle." After the person finished registering, he took out a simple circular token and threw it to Chu Mu.
After Chu Mu received it, he didn't care about the other party's bad attitude. It didn't matter.
Three days later, they would gather and set off. In these three days, Chu Mu had to find a place to stay. It wasn't difficult to find a place to stay in the camp, not to mention in such a huge city with countless restaurants. As long as one had the Sinner's Heart, there was no need to worry about not having a place to stay.
After leaving the Full Moon Inn branch, Chu Mu continued forward. Not far ahead, there was a restaurant's signboard. It was very large and eye-catching.
This was a very famous restaurant in the City of Silver. It was also one of the properties of the Silver Mansion. The name was very simple. It was called the Silver Restaurant.
When opening a business, the attitude was naturally amiable. Amiability led to wealth. Bullying and ridicule basically wouldn't appear in such a restaurant.
Chu Mu only asked for an ordinary room to stay for three days. However, as the top restaurant in the City of Silver, even the most ordinary room wasn't cheap. It actually cost ten Hearts of Black Iron for a day.
One had to know that ten Hearts of Black Iron was enough for a person to obtain a first rank sword force from the Black God Greatsword.
Thankfully, Chu Mu didn't mind. The Hearts of Black Iron he had now added up to more than ten thousand.
After paying thirty Hearts of Black Iron, Chu Mu was led to his room by the waiter, intending to rest for a while.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door. It was the waiter who brought something in. It was a jade token.
"Sir, this was sent by someone from the City Lord's Mansion. It's specifically for you." The waiter said.
A waiter wouldn't know anything. Chu Mu took the jade token and the waiter left.
After studying the jade token, he didn't discover anything. The moment his soul touched it, the jade token suddenly trembled. A silver-white figure appeared from the jade token and appeared in front of Chu Mu.
"Sir, are you Chu Mu?" The silver-white figure with snow-white hair stood in front of Chu Mu, exuding a chilling aura. His voice also seemed to have a metallic texture.
"Sir, you are?" Chu Mu nodded and asked.
"My name is Bai Chen." The figure said, "Rumor has it that you relied on a powerful treasure to kill a Seven Star Saint as a Four Star Saint. However, I don't feel the aura of a treasure on you."
"The Silver Sword Star specially sent someone to deliver the jade token to me just to tell me this." Chu Mu said indifferently.
When the other party reported his name and combined it with his appearance, Chu Mu knew the other party's identity.
There were seven extremely strong cultivators in the Land of the Exiles, and they were known as the Seven Kings. Below the Seven Kings, there were naturally many extremely famous cultivators. Apart from them, there were also six people whose fame was comparable to the Seven Kings. These six people were the successors of the Seven Kings.
The six inheritors were all extremely talented. They were known as monstrous geniuses. They were extremely powerful, far surpassing their peers. Many of the older generation weren't their opponents.
These six people were known as the Six Stars.
Among them, Bai Chen was the inheritor of the Silver King. He was known as the Silver Sword Star. In the future, he would inherit the title of Silver King.
The Six Stars were all at the Seventh Sky of the Ancient Era. However, as monstrous geniuses, their strength was even more terrifying. Ordinary Eight Star Saints weren't their opponents.
The current Chu Mu naturally wasn't their opponent.
However, Chu Mu wasn't afraid.
"I don't care if you rely on a treasure or your own strength. I will only give you three years. After three years, I will attack. Whether you live or die, it's up to you." Bai Chen said.
After he finished speaking, his figure disappeared, and the jade token shattered in an instant.
"Three years …" Chu Mu looked at the shattered jade tablet and a smile flashed across his face. Bai Chen's words were extremely direct and contained a sliver of fighting intent.
Sending a jade tablet this time was equivalent to giving Chu Mu an ultimatum.
Three years seemed like a long time, but it was actually very short. Especially for Eternal Realm cultivators, it was extremely short. Sometimes, one seclusion would pass without increasing one's strength by much.
Bai Chen's words were very clear. If Chu Mu didn't have the strength to fight against him in three years, only death would await him. However, was that really the case?
"Maybe you won't need three years to understand that you have made a stupid decision." Chu Mu muttered to himself. Then, he sat down cross-legged and started cultivating.
