This person's name was Nan Zi Yu, and he was a disciple of a small force, the Thunder Light Sect. The Thunder Light Sect was a sect with only a few hundred people, including the Sect Master, Elders, and disciples. The strongest person in the sect was merely an eight-star Saint.
Not long ago, a group of disciples from the Sword Demon Sect had killed their way into the Thunder Light Sect. They were merciless and killed in a frenzy. Even the most powerful sect master of the Thunder Light Sect was easily killed. His primordial spirit was taken out and eaten. Most of the hundreds of disciples died. A small number escaped with the mission of passing down the Thunder Light Sect's legacy. However, they were still hunted down and died one by one. If Nan Ziyu had not met Chu Mu, he would have died.
The Sword Demon Sect was a sect that had risen four years ago.
In the Land of Exile, the decline of a sect and the rise of a new sect was very normal and would not attract much attention. However, after the Sword Demon Sect appeared, it grew rapidly at a shocking speed. They went on expeditions everywhere. First, they attacked the free sword cultivators, then they slowly moved on to some small families and finally small forces.
Now, after a short four years of development, the Sword Demon Sect had become a terrifying existence second only to the five city lord mansions.
There were two reasons why the Sword Demon Sect had developed so quickly. First, the disciples of the Sword Demon Sect could demonize and increase their strength significantly. Moreover, they could also increase their cultivation by devouring primordial spirits. Second, the sect master of the Sword Demon Sect was a terrifying expert. With him in charge, the Sword Demon Sect was an existence that many major forces did not dare to provoke.
Listening to Nan Ziyu's words, Chu Mu was quite surprised. He did not expect that in the short four years that he had been away, the five cities would have such a huge change.
"What is the name of the Sword Demon Sect's sect master?" Chu Mu asked subconsciously.
"Feng Wuyi." Nan Zi Yu replied. This answer caused Chu Mu to be shocked.
Feng Wu Yi was the reclusive genius who had been killed by him in the Ominous Demon Secret Domain. Later, when Chu Mu saw him outside the Ominous Demon Secret Domain, he felt that Feng Wu Yi was a little strange. However, because of some things, Chu Mu did not investigate further. After that, he lost track of Feng Wu Yi.
Who would have thought that after being chased by the Ancient Blade, Feng Wuyi would be able to make a name for himself in the past few years? He had even built a huge foundation for himself, becoming a very famous expert in the five great cities.
"Feng Wuyi is indeed strange." Chu Mu thought to himself, Resurrection from the dead … Sword Demon Sect … Demonification … Devouring the primordial spirit to increase my strength …
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind. Chu Mu had vaguely grasped something as it flashed by.
"Could it be that … the resurrected Feng Wuyi is …" Chu Mu's eyes flashed with astonishment. This kind of speculation made him feel incomparably shocked. After thinking about it, he felt that the possibility was very low. However, apart from this possibility, there seemed to be no other explanation.
"Senior, Feng Wu Yi challenged the Six Great Stars a year ago. He defeated them one by one with a clear advantage, and won the title of 'Awakening Sword Star'. He was known as the number one expert of the younger generation, and the strongest person under the Seven Kings." Nan Ziyu's tone was very emotional. There was a kind of reverence for the strong and a kind of hatred for the enemy. "His talent is incomparably shocking and his strength is incomparably strong. Almost all of his opponents were killed by him and their primordial spirits were absorbed by him. He transformed them into his strength and continued to improve. Apart from the six great stars, maybe he is worried about the seven kings."
Chu Mu listened quietly. Whether Feng Wuyi was the original Feng Wuyi or the Feng Wuyi that Chu Mu had guessed, as long as he had enough wisdom, he would be afraid of the seven kings.
The six great stars were the inheritors of the seven kings. Once Feng Wuyi killed them, what awaited him was the fury of the seven kings, unless Feng Wuyi had the strength to contend against the seven kings.
"Could it be that the Sword Demon Sect has not been besieged?" asked Chu Mu.
Devouring primordial spirits to increase one's strength was an incomparably evil method. There was no lack of foresight among the cultivators. They should have known that if the Sword Demon Sect continued to develop, it would be a disaster. The seven kings must have sensed that something was wrong with Feng Wuyi and would not sit idly by.
"Yes, there was a siege once, but the Sword Demon Sect's Awakening Sword Star, Feng Wuyi, was too strong. With his own strength, he slaughtered more than half of the cultivators who participated in the siege. After the disciples of the Sword Demon Sect transform into demons, they become even stronger and can recover their injuries and increase their strength by devouring primordial spirits. Therefore, in that siege, the Sword Demon Sect suffered a great loss. Only Feng Wuyi and a few of the stronger elders were left. The other forces who participated in the siege also suffered heavy losses, a large number of their cultivators died. Nan Zi Yu's tone was quick as he continued, "I thought that the Sword Demon Sect would decline from then on. Who would have thought that in just a year's time, they would become strong again. Without the leadership of the five great cities, there is no way for them to organize a second siege. There is also no news from the seven kings."
"This damned Sword Demon Sect, they act arrogantly, devouring primordial spirits everywhere. I really hope that the seven kings will appear and annihilate them all." Nan Zi Yu's voice was filled with anger.
"How far is this place from the five great cities?" asked Chu Mu, changing the topic.
Although he was now in the territory of the five great cities, he had no idea where exactly he was. Perhaps, he had just entered the territory of the five great cities. There was no clear mark on the shuttle's map.
"Senior, go down this way and you will reach Qing Sha City." Nan Zi Yu said, pointing in a direction.
"What about you? What are your plans?" asked Chu Mu.
Since he met Nan Zi Yu here, saved him, and asked him for relevant information, Chu Mu decided to be kind and help him a little. However, it all depended on Nan Zi Yu's choice.
"I …" Nan Zi Yu was startled. Soon after, he seemed to be talking to himself, "I might be the last person alive from the Thunder Light Sect. I carry the last hope of the Thunder Light Sect. I want to rebuild the Thunder Light Sect."
"I want to go to Zhan Long City. Are you going to Bloodbath City with me, or …?" Chu Mu heard Nan Zi Yu's words clearly. However, he didn't say anything and asked again.
"Senior, I will go to Zhan Long City with you." Nan Zi Yu hurriedly said. Although he was filled with hatred, he did not lose his rationality. He was very clear that with his strength of a Six Star Saint, it would be very difficult for him to survive in the wilderness, let alone rebuild the Thunder Light Sect.
He had to survive first, then raise his cultivation and strength before rebuilding the Thunder Light Sect.
Without a doubt, his choice was correct, but at the same time, this choice was incomparably difficult. Even if the Thunder Light Sect was only a small sect in the past, and the strongest person was only an eight star Saint, it would be extremely difficult for Nan Zi Yu to rebuild it with his talent. Perhaps, he wouldn't be able to do it in his lifetime.
But no matter what, with such a goal, he would be more motivated.
Chu Mu saw all of Nan Zi Yu's reactions and felt some admiration in his heart.
Only a person who was filled with hatred but was not dominated by hatred and understood his own shortcomings would be able to succeed.
"Go and keep the spatial ring." Chu Mu said.
Nan Ziyu hastily took off the Sword Demon Sect disciple's spatial ring and was about to give it to Chu Mu. After Chu Mu checked it, the items inside didn't change at all, so he threw the spatial ring to Nan Ziyu.
"Many thanks, Senior." Nan Zi Yu received the spatial ring and didn't decline. Instead, he bowed gratefully.
Entering the flying shuttle, Chu Mu continued forward with Nan Zi Yu and Nan Zi Yu.
The five cities revolved around the Dark God Great Sword. As long as they went in the direction of Qing Xie City, they could also go to Blood Slaughter City. Sure enough, after flying for a period of time, the map on the flying shuttle began to show the location of the five cities. Chu Mu immediately changed his direction and quickly headed towards Zhan Long City.
The purpose of going to Zhan Long City was very simple, the Evil Dragon Palace was there.
That's right, the first thing Chu Mu wanted to do after returning to the five cities was to find Gu Xing Dao for revenge. Everything else would be put aside for the time being.
In the flying shuttle, Chu Mu drove while asking Nan Zi Yu about the situation of the five cities in the past few years. Other than the Sword Demon Sect, other things happened in the five cities.
They talked about all kinds of things. Nan Zi Yu told them everything he knew.
It seemed to be different from before. For example, there weren't many people who knew about the three major battle powers before. At least, disciples of small sects like Nan Zi Yu wouldn't know about it. But now, he knew.
The reason for this was Chu Mu's battle against the Evil Dragon Palace back then, where he shone brilliantly. After that, the six stars displayed astonishing strength that far surpassed the peak of the Nine Star Saint Rank. Finally, the three fighting strength ranks were popularized and more cultivators knew about them.
One could imagine how big of an impact the three major battle powers had on ordinary cultivators. It was very shocking. Even now, there were still some cultivators who found it hard to accept.
It turned out that there were three powerful existences above the peak of the Nine Star Saint Realm.
"Unparalleled Sword Star Chu Mu is the most pitiful. His talent is extremely high, even above the other six stars. If he was still alive, he might be able to compete with Shocking Sword Star Feng Wuyi." Nan Zi Yu said. Little did he know that the person in front of him was the pitiful Chu Mu.
Of course, Chu Mu didn't say his name.
"You know Chu Mu very well?" Chu Mu asked. The feeling of talking about himself with someone else was very strange.
"I heard about it. I haven't seen him with my own eyes. If only I had half of his talent, no, a tenth of it, then rebuilding the Thunder Light Sect wouldn't be so difficult." Nan Zi Yu's face flashed with envy.
Chu Mu smiled and didn't say anything. He asked about the Evil Dragon Palace again.
"Ever since the Evil Dragon Palace's Palace Master Gu Xing Dao killed Chu Mu, the Evil Dragon Palace was sealed." Nan Zi Yu said, "Maybe it's to recover their strength."
