Inside the main hall of the Marionette Sect.
"Sect Master, this time, our sect lost a Dark Star level expert and over a hundred high-level Saint level experts. Most importantly, the nine Black Blood Lotuses in the Evil Lotus Cave were all destroyed." An elder reported after counting.
"What!" The black-robed man on the main seat heard the report and a terrifying aura burst out from his body, shattering the huge chair he was sitting on. The terrifying aura caused the entire hall to tremble as if it was going to collapse. "Investigate! Investigate! Find out who dared to invade the Marionette Sect and destroy the nine Black Blood Lotuses. No matter who it is, find them and kill them."
His killing intent was unprecedentedly strong. Ever since the Marionette Sect moved to Sin City, they had never suffered such a loss, even during their initial difficult development.
The death of a Dark Star expert and over a hundred high-level Saint experts was indeed serious, but compared to the nine Black Blood Lotuses, it was more than ten times worse.
The destruction of the nine Black Blood Lotuses was the real loss. It meant that the Marionette Sect's main cultivation resource had been cut off. They might be able to find other treasures to replace them, but the effect would be much worse.
This was equivalent to cutting off their cultivation foundation. To a certain extent, the Marionette Sect's strength had been weakened.
No matter what, they had to find out who it was.
At this moment, the people who were chasing after Chu Mu returned and reported immediately.
"The Tang Family?"
"Could it be the Tang Family? What reason do they have?"
"Investigate! Find out what happened," the leader of the Marionette Sect said. He had to pay attention to the Tang Family. After all, the Tang Family was ranked above the Marionette Sect. They were much stronger than the Marionette Sect.
…
"Little friend Chu, I have to thank you this time." The leader of the Tang Family, Tang Tianhao, smiled and said, "I only have one granddaughter."
"It was just a coincidence," Chu Mu said.
"To you, it was just a coincidence, but to me, it was very important." Tang Tianhao smiled. He only had one granddaughter, Tang Qianxue. As for Tang Qianxue's mother, she died after giving birth to Tang Qianxue. Her father died in an accident more than ten years ago. The cause was unknown. Therefore, Tang Tianhao was very concerned about Tang Qianxue.
However, this was someone else's family matter. Chu Mu had no intention of delving into it. He wasn't even interested in learning more about it.
"Tang Family Head, have you heard of the Five Great Cities?" Chu Mu went straight to the point. He didn't try to hide his origins. There was no need for that.
"Little friend, you came from one of the five great cities." Tang Tianhao was shocked, but he quickly recovered. "That's right. I've never heard of someone as talented as you in Sin City."
"So Big Brother Chu came from the Five Great Cities." Tang Qianxue, who was sitting at the side, exclaimed. She had only heard of the Five Great Cities but had never been there. She had a yearning in her heart.
"I came to Sin City because of an accident. I want to know how to get back to the five cities as quickly as possible," said Chu Mu. "If you know, please tell me."
"That's not a big deal." Tang Tianhao smiled. "If we leave Sin Yan City and head north, we'll reach the five great cities."
Chu Mu was stunned. It was that simple?
"Of course. Even with the speed of a Dark Star expert, it will take about five years to reach the five great cities from Sin City. If we encounter a void storm or a destructive tide, the time will be greatly extended," said Tang Tianhao. He then explained the void storm and destructive tide to Chu Mu.
In the depths of the Five Great Cities, there were some places where the space was extremely unstable. Void Storms would appear, and their power was extremely terrifying. Once experts of the Three Great Battle Powers were caught in them, they would die. Furthermore, the duration of the Void Storms was not fixed. They could be very short, or very long.
As for the destructive tide, it was even more terrifying than the void storm. Wherever it passed, even space would be destroyed. Of course, the probability of it appearing was much lower than the void storm.
Hearing Tang Tianhao's words, Chu Mu frowned slightly. It would take three years, and that was under the condition that there were no accidents. If they encountered a void storm or destructive tide, the time would be extended. It might even take four or five years.
After chatting for a while.
"Little friend, settle down in the Tang Family first. I'll go and arrange some things." Tang Tianhao stood up and smiled. After getting someone to settle down Chu Mu, he left with Tang Qianxue.
Chu Mu was arranged to stay in the Tang Family's Green Bamboo Garden. There were houses, hills, streams, and a large patch of green bamboos that emitted a faint fragrance.
After taking a deep breath, Chu Mu entered the house. He hung a sign outside the house that said Closed Door Cultivation. After setting up a seal, he took out the Four Image Energy Transformation Pill and prepared to refine it again.
Since it would take a few years to return to the five cities, he might as well stay in Sin City and raise his cultivation first. At that time, it would be faster, and the time it would take to return to the five cities would naturally be shortened. As the saying went, "Sharpening the axe will not delay the work of cutting wood."
"First, I'll refine the Four Image Energy Transformation Pill and the Ancient Saint Breaking Limit Pill. Then, I'll refine the Ancient Saint Precious Blood to raise my Sage Body to Level Seven. I'll also find someone to refine the 24 Black Blood Lotus Seeds into Ancient Saint Blood Lotus Pills. It'll be just right for my Sage Body to break through to Level Seven." Chu Mu thought to himself as he held the Four Image Energy Transformation Pill.
He also knew how to refine pills, but he had not done it for many years. The Ancient Saint Blood Lotus Pills were of high quality, and it was not something that Chu Mu could refine now. Of course, if he was willing, he might be able to do it if he spent more than ten years to raise his alchemy skills.
However, for Chu Mu, time was very precious. Ten days was not enough, let alone ten years. Hence, he could only find someone to refine the pills. However, to refine the Ancient Saint Blood Lotus Pills, one's alchemy skills had to be extremely high. Not just any alchemist could do it.
"Looks like I have to ask the Tang Family Head." Chu Mu thought. Tang Tianhao was the head of the Tang Family, and the Tang Family was one of the top ten superpowers in Sin City. He would definitely know where to find an alchemist with high alchemy skills.
As this thought flashed through his mind, Chu Mu threw all ten Four Image Energy Conversion Pills into his mouth. They transformed into a stream of heat as he swallowed them all and began to refine them. As his cultivation increased, the speed of his refinement continued to increase.
Perhaps he would only need four days to refine all ten Four Image Energy Transformation Pills. At that time, Chu Mu's cultivation would increase again. As long as he refined the last bottle of Four Image Energy Transformation Pills, he was confident that his cultivation would reach the peak of the Eighth Sky of the Immemorial Realm.
…
"Qianxue, tell me exactly what happened," Lin Mengya said. Tang Tianhao asked after taking Tang Qianxue away. Although he already knew that Chu Mu had saved Tang Qianxue from the Marionette Sect, he did not know the details.
When Tang Tianhao heard about it, he was furious. He almost went to the Marionette Sect himself. However, his rationality stopped him. The Tang Family was indeed stronger than the Marionette Sect, but there was a limit to it.
Most importantly, although he was a Bright Moon Sword Saint, and his attack power was obviously stronger than the Sect Master of Marionette Sect, it was hard for him to break through the defense of the Marionette Sect. Even if he used the Secret Sword of the Tang Family, he could only cause light damage to the Sect Master.
Hence, it would be difficult for the Tang Family to gain any benefits if they started a war with the Marionette Sect. Instead, the Tang Family would suffer a great loss.
However, they had to avenge Tang Qianxue.
Although Tang Qianxue was valued by Tang Tianhao, she did not develop an arrogant, domineering, and brainless personality. Instead, she was tenacious and rational. She also understood her grandfather's concerns, so she told him everything that happened in detail.
After hearing it, Tang Tianhao fell into deep thought.
"Qianxue, are you sure that Chu Mu shot out a beam of yellow light and hit the Dark Star Level warrior of the Marionette Sect and then broke his Marionette Body and killed him?"
"Yes, grandpa. I did not see it wrong," Tang Qianxue said with certainty. "Chu Mu also said that it was a small trick."
"If that is the case, then it is not a small trick." Tang Tianhao laughed. "It seems that I have to talk to Chu Mu again and see if I can teach him this trick."
Then, Tang Tianhao sent someone to the Green Bamboo Garden to invite Chu Mu.
Not long after, that person returned.
"Master, Young Master Chu is cultivating in seclusion."
"Go and wait outside the Green Bamboo Garden. When Chu Mu comes out, invite him over," Tang Tianhao said.
"Yes."
Time passed, day after day. Four days later, Chu Mu finally refined all ten Four Image Yuan Transformation Pills. His sword origin had clearly grown. He once again took out the last ten Four Image Yuan Transformation Pills and swallowed them in one go to continue refining.
This time, in less than four days, Chu Mu successfully refined another ten Four Image Energy Conversion Pills. His sword origin cultivation also reached the peak of Immemorial Eighth Heavenly Layer as he expected. It would only take a short period of time for his strength to increase noticeably from the original foundation.
After removing the seal, he opened the door and walked out. After all, this was the Tang Family and not his own place. It was not suitable for him to cultivate in seclusion for a long time.
The person waiting outside the Green Bamboo Garden saw Chu Mu and quickly ran over and bowed. "Young Master Chu, my master wants to see you."
"Okay."
Under the lead, Chu Mu came to a rather hidden place in the Tang Family.
"I haven't seen you for a few days and your cultivation has increased again. Congratulations." Tang Tianhao's eyes lit up when he saw Chu Mu.
"I'm just on the verge of a breakthrough," Chu Mu said. "Since Master Tang is looking for me in such a hurry, there must be something important."
"Yes, there is indeed something." Tang Tianhao nodded and gestured for Chu Mu to sit down. Then, he sat down as well. He paused for a while as if to organize his thoughts and words. Then, he began to speak.
