He drew his sword.
The obscure Sword Light looked sharp like black lightning, blending into the dim light in the cave.
Under the sword, a Bronze Sinner's heart was dug out instantly. Its body trembled slightly, but it didn't make any noise and didn't disturb the other Sinners.
This was when Chu Mu discovered a stalk of spirit medicine growing on the cave wall and was about to pick it. However, a bronze rank sinner was sleeping next to the spirit medicine. That sinner just happened to flip over and almost touched the spirit medicine. Chu Mu's reaction was extremely fast and he ended it with a single slash.
That sword was very sharp and smooth like flowing water. Everyone's eyes lit up. They also believed that Chu Mu, a Four-Star Martial Saint, shouldn't be inferior to them.
"This is unbelievable," Yue Zhen said to himself.
It was hard to believe that a mere Four Star Martial Saint would possess strength comparable to theirs, and he didn't seem to be relying on any treasures.
This spiritual herb was a Bronze Supreme-Grade spiritual herb and was worth 10,000 Bronze Hearts. Everyone could get another 1,000 Bronze Hearts.
Luo Zhongxu and the other Sinners were less than 200 meters away from Chu Mu and the others.
They didn't deliberately look for any spiritual herbs. They just followed Chu Mu and the others closely to prevent them from getting lost.
To Luo Zhongxu and the others, since they had already made up their minds to catch Chu Mu and the other Sinners in one fell swoop and take everything from them as spoils of war, then the actions of the five Sinners now were equivalent to helping them reap the rewards in advance.
Everyone knew that Luo Zhongxu and the others were following them, but they couldn't think of a good way to get rid of them.
It wasn't appropriate to make a move. If they made any noise, it could bring disaster to themselves.
There were more forks on the second floor than on the first floor. Chu Mu and the other Sinners tried their best to find spiritual herbs and reaped great rewards.
"Search as much as you want. You'll find that all of this is just a wedding dress for others." Luo Zhongxu and the others laughed secretly.
After a while, the forks on the second floor were finally searched. Everyone had a great harvest.
They returned to the first floor from the entrance.
The Birthing Pool came into view. Around the Birthing Pool stood dozens of Black Iron-level Sinners.
The five of them reacted very quickly and immediately drew their Sword Light. Without a sound, five different sword lights flashed across the sky like lightning and attacked the dozens of Black Iron-level Sinners.
In the end, the Black Iron Sinners were not strong enough, and there were not many of them. There were only a few dozen of them, and before they could react, their heads were chopped off, and they fell into the Birthing Pool one by one.
The water in the Birthing Pool appeared very viscous. When the Sinner's head and body fell into it, it did not cause any splashes, nor did it make any sound. In fact, even if there was a sound, it did not matter. After all, the Birthing Pool was the birthplace of Black Iron-ranked Sinners. The Sinners constantly dug out Black Iron ores to throw into the pool, so the sound was very familiar to the other Sinners.
"Let's go. Let's speed up and leave," said Long Yunkong.
Everyone's speed suddenly increased by several times. Similarly, they did not make any noise and quickly left.
Although there were still some places on the first floor that they had not searched, to them, who had already searched the second floor, the spiritual herbs and ores on the first floor were no longer attractive.
The highest grade of spiritual herbs on the first floor was only Mid Bronze-grade. Moreover, there were at most one or two stalks. Most of them were Black Iron-level. Even the best Black Iron-level ones were only worth a Bronze Core. They were not even as valuable as the Bronze Root that could be easily found on the second floor.
Moreover, there were pursuers behind them. Although they were not afraid, it was best if they did not have to fight. After all, Luo Zhongxu alone was enough to make them wary.
They sped up and followed the best route to the exit.
At this time, Luo Zhongxu and the others had also arrived at the first floor through the entrance of the second floor. After glancing at the Birthing Pool, a faint light flashed in their eyes, and they quickly chased in the direction that Chu Mu and the others had left.
In the path of tracking, Fat Rat had extraordinary talent and rich experience. There was no way he would make a mistake.
"With our current strength, we can't explore the third floor yet." While flying forward, Long Yunkong transmitted his voice, "Now, I have two ideas. The first is to not let anyone know about the existence of the cave except for the few of us. When we have enough strength, we can form a team and explore the third floor together. The second idea is to report this to the Sect and let the Sect explore the cave. Naturally, we will be rewarded by the Sect."
"The first point isn't realistic. If we want to have the strength of a Nine Star Saint, we'll need at least a few decades to a hundred years. During this period of time, someone might discover this cave because there's more than one entrance to this cave. We only know of one entrance and don't know of the other one." Yue Zhen analyzed, "Moreover, even if no one else discovers this cave, Luo Zhongxu and the others have already known about it and entered it. They will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity. It is very likely that they will report this to the Sect and be rewarded by the Sect."
Everyone understood Yue Zhen's analysis, including Long Yunkong. However, there were some things that needed to be made clear to avoid unnecessary disputes that would destroy their friendship and turn them against each other.
"In that case, we can only choose the second option." Long Yunkong said, "Brother Chu doesn't belong to any force. Brother Yue and I belong to the Three Saint Schools. Sister Xu comes from the Blood Sword Sect. Brother Mu comes from the Blood Sword Sect. So, which force should we report this cave to?"
This was the most important point.
Of the three forces, the Slaughtering Blood Hall was the strongest, followed by the Three Sacred Schools, and then the Blood Sword Sect. However, even the Blood Sword Sect was a very powerful force, not much weaker than the Three Sacred Schools, and the Three Sacred Schools were not much weaker than the Slaughtering Blood Hall.
Once Long Yunkong said that, everyone fell silent.
Without a doubt, it would be reported to the Sect by the corresponding disciples. For example, if it was reported to the Three Saint Schools, it would obviously be Long Yunkong and Yue Zhen. Then, the two of them would be rewarded greatly.
Material rewards were very easy to distribute. The five of them could share it equally without any conflicts. However, material rewards were only one of the benefits of being a member of a Sect. Apart from that, there was also contribution to the Sect. It could also increase the importance of the Sect and influence their status in the Sect.
"Brother Chu, what do you think?" Yue Zhen asked Chu Mu. Everyone also looked at Chu Mu.
Because Chu Mu was the only one among them who didn't belong to any Sect.
"You can discuss among yourselves. I only want sinner's hearts. It would be best if they were silver hearts." Chu Mu said. He needed enough silver hearts to sacrifice at the Dark Deity Huge Sword. Although they had gained a lot from exploring the first two floors of the cave, Chu Mu didn't plan to sell some of them. Naturally, he didn't have enough silver hearts.
Chu Mu didn't have any objections. The four of them secretly let out a sigh of relief. Now, they only needed to coordinate among the three forces.
"Slaughtering Blood Manor is the strongest. We should report to them," said Xu Qingya. Her reason was very good.
"Although our Three Sacred Sects isn't as strong as Slaughtering Blood Manor, we still have the ability to explore the third floor of the cave. Moreover, the one who discovered this cave is Junior Brother Long. Therefore, we should report to the Three Sacred Sects." Yue Zhen's words were also reasonable.
"I think we should report to Blood Sword Sect," said Mu Gaoli. He didn't give any reason because he didn't have any good reason to convince others.
In terms of strength, Blood Sword Sect was inferior to Slaughtering Blood Manor and Three Sacred Sects. Moreover, he was invited by Long Yunkong and wasn't the first one to discover the cave. Even so, he still had to fight for it.
"Everyone, I think that before we reach a conclusion, shouldn't we first get rid of this problem?" said Chu Mu.
Everyone suddenly realized that it was too early to talk about the issue of distribution. Luo Zhongxu and the others were a big problem. They probably also saw them as targets that they had to get rid of.
"It seems like we have to fight them."
"It's unavoidable."
They had originally planned to avoid them, but now it seemed that they had no choice but to deal with them, unless they voluntarily gave up on the cave.
However, even if they didn't dare to enter the third floor, it didn't mean that they had to give up. Even the seven Kings couldn't ignore such a huge treasure, let alone them.
"Apart from Luo Zhongxu, the others are nothing to worry about," said Yue Zhen. "Therefore, our main opponent is Luo Zhongxu."
Speaking of Luo Zhongxu, everyone fell silent.
Luo Zhongxu was an eight star early level Saint, but he had the strength of an eight star mid level Saint. He was much stronger than them. Even if they used their trump cards, they couldn't guarantee that they could kill Luo Zhongxu. After all, Luo Zhongxu himself might have some kind of secret trump card. As long as his strength increased, he would become even stronger.
Therefore, the only person they were worried about was Luo Zhongxu. Although the others were all Seven-star Saint level, they were all ordinary Seven-star Saint level. In terms of strength, there was a big gap between them and the four of them. Only the one who was at the peak of Seven-star Saint level could be their opponent. The other six were nothing to worry about.
Even so, they couldn't compete with the eight of them. This was also the reason why everyone wanted to get rid of Luo Zhongxu's group and leave this place. At that time, they didn't think too far ahead. Now that they thought about it and brought it up, they had to think of a way to deal with it.
Five against eight. With their trump cards, they were confident that they wouldn't be killed, but they weren't confident that they could kill all of their opponents.
"The four of you should be able to deal with the seven seven star Saints, right?" Chu Mu suddenly asked.
"They're just seven ordinary seven star Saints. It won't take much effort to kill them," said Mu Gaoli with a smile.
"Since that's the case, I'll leave the seven seven star Saints to the four of you. Leave Luo Zhongxu to me." Chu Mu's words caused everyone to be incomparably shocked. In an instant, it was as if a world-shaking thunderbolt had ripped through the air and struck their hearts.
