The dark night didn't last for long.
A few days later, the dark night was finally over, and the sky was clear again. Seeing the clear sky, the gloominess in everyone's hearts was swept away. It was as if the dark clouds had parted to see the clear sky.
"Leave, I want to leave this place immediately."
"I'm never coming back again."
This time, because of the appearance of the Gold Sinners, many people were scared out of their wits and didn't dare to set foot in this place again.
Regardless of whether the time was up, the flying shuttles immediately set off. Taking advantage of the dark night and the clear sky, they quickly left the Onyx Deity Sword. Not long after, there was no one around the Onyx Deity Sword.
This time, Chu Mu didn't leave on the Full Moon Inn's flying shuttle. Instead, he took another flying shuttle to Bloodbath City.
If not for Long Yunkong's invitation, Chu Mu would have probably come from the City of Silver and returned to the City of Silver. However, with Long Yunkong's invitation, there was only three months left. If he returned to the City of Silver, it would be too late to rush to Bloodbath City.
The distance between the five cities was very far. Once he rushed, he would spend most of his time on the road. He wouldn't be able to cultivate in seclusion and would waste a lot of time.
At this moment, the flying shuttle that Chu Mu was on was the one that Long Yunkong had taken out.
Long Yunkong had an extraordinary background and outstanding talent. Among the geniuses in the entire Land of Exile, he belonged to the second group. Moreover, he was ranked in the top three in the second group.
One had to know that there were only a dozen or so geniuses in the first group in the Land of Exile. The geniuses that surpassed the first group were from the six major planets. In other words, among the young geniuses in the Land of Exile, there were less than 30 people who were more outstanding than Long Yunkong.
It sounded like there were a lot of geniuses who were more outstanding than Long Yunkong. However, one had to know that there were at least millions of young cultivators in the Land of Exile. To be able to be ranked in the top 30 among so many cultivators was enough to prove one's talent.
Perhaps there were still some hidden geniuses. After all, they were in the minority, and there wouldn't be many of them.
With Long Yunkong's talent and strength, he was naturally valued by his sect. Although shuttles were extremely precious, it wasn't difficult for him to borrow one given his status and importance in the sect.
The length of this shuttle naturally couldn't be compared with the Full Moon Building shuttle that Chu Mu had taken before. The total length was only five meters, but its appearance was more delicate, faster, and more flexible.
The five-meter-long silver shuttle was like a fish swimming in water. It was extremely fast, and in a flash, it surpassed the speed of an ordinary Seven-star Saint.
Of course, the interior space of this 5-m long shuttle could not match that of the 100-m long shuttle. Besides Long Yunkong's seat, there were only 4 seats left, which could hold 4 more people in the front, back, left and right of the shuttle.
At this moment, there was only Chu Mu in the four seats.
Long Yunkong had to focus on controlling the flying shuttle, while Chu Mu had to focus on comprehending what he had learned. Therefore, after the two entered the flying shuttle, they didn't speak again.
Geniuses were people who could endure loneliness. With the speed of this shuttle, it would take less than a month to return to Blood-slaughtering City from the Onyx Giant Sword. For geniuses, a month was actually a short time.
During the night, Chu Mu would chat with Long Yunkong in addition to cultivating. They would talk about cultivation experiences. For Chu Mu, what was more useful was not Long Yunkong's cultivation experience, but the knowledge related to the Land of Exile.
In the blink of an eye, nearly a month had passed. Chu Mu arrived at Blood-slaughtering City under Long Yunkong's lead.
"Brother Chu, although I am a true transmission disciple of the Three Saint Sects and have a high status, I can't bring people who aren't from my sect to live in my cave residence." Long Yunkong explained, "However, I have a manor in Blood-slaughtering City. Although it's not big, it should be enough for Brother Chu to live in temporarily."
"Okay." Chu Mu didn't refuse. In fact, even if Long Yunkong could take him into the Three Saint Sects, he didn't plan to go.
The Three Saint Sects were the most powerful forces in Blood-slaughtering City except for the Governor's Mansion. There were many experts in the Three Saint Sects. As a true transmission disciple, Long Yunkong naturally had a high status in the Three Saint Sects. However, Long Yunkong was not the only true transmission disciple in the Three Saint Sects. Moreover, there was always competition among the true transmission disciples.
If he followed Long Yunkong in, he might be used as a channel to attack Long Yunkong, just like when he was in the Iron-Wing Camp.
Chu Mu also came from a sect. Although his sect was like a firefly compared to the moon when compared to the Three Saint Sects, he was very familiar with the general structure of a sect.
In these three months, Chu Mu planned on quietly cultivating and raising his strength a step further. He didn't plan on using this time to scheme against others.
"By the way, Brother Chu, I remember that a clan in Blood-slaughtering City once offered a reward for the Eagle and Bear Killers who died under your sword. The reward hasn't been canceled. It seems to be a good reward for sinning people's hearts. Brother Chu, if you're interested, you can go to that clan and take the swords used by the Eagle and Bear Killers to get the reward." After making arrangements for Chu Mu, Long Yunkong thought of something and said to Chu Mu before he left. Then, he told Chu Mu the location of that clan and so on.
Since Long Yunkong said it was a good reward, Chu Mu had no reason to let it go.
That clan might have been glorious once, but now it had declined and was headed by a young woman. She was only a mid-level Martial Saint, which wasn't considered high.
That clan had a deep-seated hatred for the Eagle and Bear Killers, so they were very familiar with all the information about the Eagle and Bear Killers, including the appearance and name of the swords they used.
Thus, when Chu Mu took out the Eagle Bear Double Fiend's swords, there was no unforeseen event. Chu Mu obtained a fortune. The reward for the Eagle Bear Double Fiend was a hundred Bronze Hearts.
The 100 Bronze Hearts increased Chu Mu's Sinner's Hearts by a lot.
However, what troubled Chu Mu was that in addition to the 100 Bronze Hearts, there was another reward: a woman.
Now, the woman in charge of the family had sworn that she would become the maid of whoever killed the Eagle Bear Duo and serve them for the rest of her life.
Chu Mu had never shown mercy to anyone who harbored evil intentions. However, he couldn't treat a pitiful person who had done this for the sake of fulfilling her oath as an enemy.
"Miss Bi Ruo, let me repeat myself. I don't have a fixed residence. Sometimes, the places I go are very dangerous. I don't need anyone to serve me." Chu Mu said solemnly to the young woman beside him. "You are the head of the Lin Clan. Every word and action of yours has to be considered for the Lin Clan."
In terms of appearance, this woman could not be said to be as beautiful as a fairy, nor could she be said to be peerless in her generation. However, she was not that far off. At least in the hearts of many people, she was a beauty. Coupled with her delicate aura, it was enough to make her a goddess in the hearts of many people.
Her surname was Lin, and her name was Bi Ruo. Her cultivation base was at the mid-stage of the Fifth Sky of the Aeon Realm. It was hard to imagine that such a delicate woman had been supporting the entire clan, even though the clan had declined.
"Young Master, the position of the Clan Head doesn't belong to me. I'm just a temporary representative. Now that the Eagle and Bear Killers have been killed, I don't need to worry about the clan anymore. In the future, I will serve Young Master wholeheartedly." Lin Bi Ruo's voice was soft but firm.
Chu Mu was speechless.
Speaking of which, he was rather impressed by Lin Biruo. However, this didn't mean that Chu Mu would take her as a servant. Just as he said, she didn't have a fixed residence. Her purpose in coming to the Land of Exile was only to increase her strength. In the future, she would still have to leave. However, Lin Biruo was a native of the Land of Exile and couldn't leave.
However, judging from her tone and expression, it was impossible to ask her to leave. Chu Mu couldn't use force to chase her away.
"Fine, I'll leave it at that for now." Chu Mu thought. He would leave sooner or later. At that time, their fate would be severed.
Following a tail, Chu Mu returned to Long Yunkong's manor and settled down for the time being.
"I'll be cultivating here for a period of time. I won't go out. You can return to the clan or stay here." Chu Mu said.
"Young Master, I'll stay here to serve you." Lin Bi Ruo said.
"Up to you." Chu Mu said. He didn't have anything to serve.
His agreement with Long Yunkong was three months. It was a short period of time, but Chu Mu felt that he could improve a little in these three months.
First, sword force.
After comprehending the true meaning of vibration, his sword force oscillation had reached the sixth grade. Now, he was close to mastering the seventh grade sword force oscillation. He estimated that he would be able to master it in ten days. In three months, he should be able to master the eighth grade sword force oscillation. As for the ninth grade sword force oscillation, Chu Mu wasn't sure.
No matter what, this speed was already several times faster than before.
In addition to the sword force oscillation, he needed to further master the skill of combining Qi and strength. However, in three months, Chu Mu estimated that his progress would be limited. Cultivation was like sailing against the current. If he didn't advance, he would fall behind. Even if his progress was not great, he couldn't fall behind. Otherwise, when could he fully master it?
In three months, he mainly focused on mastering the sword force oscillation and the skill of combining Qi and strength. His cultivation couldn't improve much, his Divine Body couldn't improve much, and his Primordial Spirit couldn't be improved either. Even so, Chu Mu still needed to spare some time to cultivate.
Lin Bi Ruo also lived in the manor. She considered herself as a maid, so she naturally had to serve Chu Mu. However, Chu Mu's life had always been simple, so there was nothing to serve. Therefore, Lin Bi Ruo spent a lot of time on cultivation. To be an excellent maid, in addition to serving the master, she also needed to have enough strength to share the master's worries.
