The Three Sacred Secret Sword was the foundation of the Three Sacred Sects. Its value was unimaginable. If Chu Mu wanted to borrow it, it naturally wouldn't be that easy. He proposed to borrow it because he was willing to pay a price he could afford in exchange.
This was a trade.
As a core disciple of the Three Saint Sects, Long Yunkong had a very high status. He could even compare to an elder in the sect. Thus, his words carried a lot of weight. It was completely possible for him to convey Chu Mu's message.
Of course, Long Yunkong could only convey the message. He couldn't make a decision.
With Chu Mu's message, Long Yunkong returned to the Three Saint Sects and directly met with the leader of the Three Saint Sects.
Chu Mu's return was very low-key. However, he didn't deliberately hide it, nor did he deliberately publicize it. After more than five years, everyone thought that he was dead. After he returned, he directly destroyed the Evil Dragon Palace. No one knew that he had returned. Then, he quickly returned to the manor in Blood-Slaughter City and stayed there. Thus, no one knew that he had really returned alive.
"Chu Mu? The Unparalleled Sword Star from six years ago, Chu Mu?" The leader of the Three Saint Sects immediately frowned and asked.
"Yes, leader," Long Yunkong stood below and answered respectfully.
"I didn't think that he would survive after being swallowed into the spatial crack." The leader of the Three Saint Sects, Qinwei King, relaxed his frown and sighed softly. He seemed to be very shocked. "The leader of the Seven Stars back then lived up to his name. However, the Three Saints Secret Sword is the foundation of the Three Saint Sects. It is a secret that cannot be passed on. Unless he is willing to join the Three Saint Sects and become a part of us."
"I understand, leader," Long Yunkong said helplessly. He knew that Chu Mu couldn't join the Three Saint Sects and become a part of the Three Saint Sects. However, he was only a disciple of the Three Saint Sects. Although his status wasn't low, he couldn't make such a big decision. He could only convey the message.
Long Yunkong left quickly, leaving only Qinwei Wang, the leader of the Triple Saint Sect, in the hall.
"Chu Mu, under the pursuit of the Ancient Blade, was swallowed into the spatial crack and returned alive. Could it be that the destruction of the Evil Dragon Palace was not caused by Sword Devil Feng Wuyi, but …" King Qinwei thought to himself and frowned. Then, he shook his head, "Impossible, it should not be him. Even if he is the head of the seven stars, and his talent surpasses the other six stars, it is impossible for him to surpass the other six stars by that much."
One had to know that the current six stars were only at the Bright Moon rank. There was still a huge gap between them and the Bright Sun rank. This gap wasn't something that could be easily bridged.
Of course, the Six Great Stars were all in seclusion. The Five City Lord Manors and the Flowing Light Army had used a large amount of resources to nurture them, raising their cultivation as quickly as possible. After reaching the pinnacle, they would raise their other aspects, allowing them to reach the level of a Bright Yang Sword Saint.
Since the six of them had yet to come out of seclusion, it was likely that they had yet to reach the Bright Yang Grade.
There was only one person who had destroyed the Evil Dragon Palace, and through various signs, that person's strength was not something that someone who had just entered the Bright Yang Grade could compare to. The possibility of it being Sword Devil Feng Wuyi was rather high.
However, no matter what, Chu Mu was once the head of the seven stars. His talent was above the other six stars. Even if his current strength had not reached the Bright Yang Grade, it was very likely that he had reached the limit of the Bright Moon rank. If he could join the Three Saint Sects, the Three Saint Sects would have one more peak combatant, and their overall strength would increase even further.
After all, the strongest expert of the Three Saint Sects was only at the limit of the Bright Moon rank.
…
"This is the sect master's wish." Long Yunkong looked at Chu Mu apologetically.
"It's a pity," said Chu Mu.
He was willing to pay a price, but if the price was to join the Three Saint Sects and be tied to the Three Saint Sects, he was not willing to do so. It seemed that he was not fated to learn the Three Saint Secret Sword for now.
There was nothing Long Yunkong could do about this. He could only put this matter aside and ask Chu Mu for some sword techniques before leaving.
After leaving this time, Long Yunkong didn't come back for a few months. Chu Mu also received news that the situation outside was becoming more and more tense. The Sword Demon Sect disciples were becoming more and more arrogant. They were extremely insolent, unbridled, and tyrannical.
Even more camps were destroyed because they were unwilling to submit to the Sword Devil Sect. Out of the original dozens of camps, more than ten had been destroyed by the Sword Devil Sect, and a dozen or so had submitted to the Sword Devil Sect, becoming their subordinate forces.
In a short period of time, the Sword Devil Sect grew. Apart from the fact that they did not have any King Level experts, they had become a powerful force that could rival or even surpass the five city leaders' manors. They were a serious threat to the status of the five city leaders' manors.
More and more people entered the five cities to seek shelter, which caused the number of people in the five cities to increase by several times. The living conditions became more and more tense, and the prices increased as well. The order was also affected. Occasionally, there would be some conflicts and bloodshed. In response, the guards of the five city leaders' manors reacted quickly. They used a thunderous method to capture people directly and kill those who resisted. They used a forceful method to suppress them directly.
However, the forceful method could only suppress them temporarily. If this continued for a long time, it would cause a huge backlash, which would not be a good thing for the five city leaders' manors.
On the surface, the Sword Devil Sect was unstoppable, but in the dark, the five cities were in turmoil. A huge riot could be foreseen.
In response, the five city leaders' manors attached great importance to this and tried to think of a solution.
Today, one and a half years after Chu Mu returned to the manor in Blood Slaughter City, a group of people suddenly broke into the manor. They all emitted powerful Qi ripples. They were a dozen high-level Saint Level experts, and the leader was even a nine-star high-level Saint Level expert.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Pan Yan, who was practicing his sword, immediately asked.
"Does this manor belong to you? It belongs to us now. You can choose to stay here or leave. "The leading nine-star high-level Saint Level expert said directly.
"Get out." Elder Waning Moon shouted rudely. Her Qi was sharp like a sword.
"You want to do this the hard way? Kill the two of them." One of the dozen people was filled with killing intent and immediately drew his sword.
Among these dozen people, the weakest was an eight-star Saint Level expert, and the strongest was a nine-star high-level Saint Level expert. Although Elder Waning Moon and Pan Yan were not weak, they could not fight against them. If they really fought, Elder Waning Moon and Pan Yan would be killed in a few moves.
At this time, a Sword Light flashed. Without any prelude, it seemed to have come from the void. It was indescribably sharp. The dozen high-level Saint Level experts who wanted to take over the manor only saw the Sword Light flash in front of them. They could not dodge it.
The Sword Light cut through the air, leaving a straight mark in the air. The dozen people immediately stopped moving, maintaining the posture of drawing their swords. Streaks of blood appeared on their necks.
Then, a suction force appeared out of nowhere. The dozen or so souls flew out of their heads and were projected into the manor.
Chu Mu had made his move.
"Young master is so strong."
"I can't imagine."
Elder Waning Moon and Pan Yan were both amazed.
In the next half a year, a group of people would break into the manor every once in a while. They wanted to take over the manor. The most powerful group was a nine-star Saint Level expert, and some were even at the peak of the nine-star Saint Level. Moreover, they were very close to the Dark Star level. Even so, they did not gain the slightest advantage. They all died to Chu Mu's Sword Light without even seeing him.
In order to prevent trouble, Chu Mu released a ray of sword Qi in the manor. This sword Qi was powerful enough to heavily injure a Dark Star Sword Saint. Anyone who approached with killing intent would be locked down. If they tried to force their way in, they would be attacked directly. As a result, the manor returned to its peaceful state.
While the manor was peaceful, the five cities were even more chaotic. Conflicts continued, and even some of the guards of the five city lords were killed.
The situation was getting worse and worse.
Half a year later, which was also the second year since Chu Mu's return, an incomparably powerful aura soared into the sky from the five city lords' mansions. It was like a terrifying ray of sword Qi shooting into the sky, stirring up the wind and clouds. The sharpness it emitted suppressed all directions, covering the entire city.
In the manor, Chu Mu's eyes flashed as he looked in the direction of the city lord's mansion.
"Another Bright Yang Level expert has appeared in the Slaughtering Blood Manor. Seems like it's Tu Qianjun." Chu Mu muttered to himself.
That's right, the young master of the Slaughtering Blood Manor, Tu Qianjun, had broken through and become a Bright Yang Level Sword Saint. Not only him, but the other five star lords had also broken through, becoming Bright Yang Level Sword Saints.
Under the powerful aura, the commotion in the city was suppressed, and many people went into hiding.
The five young masters came out of seclusion with astonishing power, taking control of the five city lords' mansions in one go. They issued all kinds of orders to clean up the chaos in the city, and to understand all kinds of news that had happened during their seclusion, especially news about Sword Demon Feng Wuyi.
When they heard that the veteran Bright Yang Level Sword Saint Long Huan had been defeated by Feng Wuyi, they were immediately shocked.
One had to know that they had broken through during their seclusion and stepped into the Bright Yang Level. Although there was still room for improvement, they could only be considered as beginners. Compared to veteran experts like Long Huan, there was still a slight gap. If Long Huan wasn't Feng Wuyi's opponent, they wouldn't be able to fight him one on one either.
"In such a situation, we can only join hands."
Although they weren't very willing, they didn't have much time to raise their strength. The six star lords had the same idea.
Not long after, a piece of news spread out, immediately shocking everyone.
The young masters of the five city lords' mansions and the young masters of the Flowing Light Army had formed an alliance with the Flowing Light Army, called the Bright Yang Alliance.
Although it wasn't stated clearly, many people could see that the Bright Yang Alliance had appeared to resist the Sword Demon Sect, which was as powerful as the sun in the midday sky. This also served as a foil to the Sword Demon Sect's strength, as well as the Sword Demon Feng Wuyi's tyrannical strength.
"Bright Yang Alliance …" Feng Wuyi naturally received the news, and immediately revealed a strange smile. He swept a glance at the twelve motionless figures below, "Then let's see if the Bright Yang Alliance or the twelve Heavenly Demons of my Sword Demon Sect are stronger."
