The Bright Yang Alliance was led by the six stars. The experts of the Flowing Light Legion and the five city lord's manors were united to form the Bright Yang Army. All the major forces and sects in the five cities were called to join as well.
Every day, there would be news of certain sects and clans joining the Bright Yang Alliance and becoming a member of the alliance.
The Three Sacred Sects were the strongest force under the Bloodbath Manor in Bloodbath City. Naturally, they would join the Bright Yang Alliance and become a part of it.
The movements of the five cities were huge. On the contrary, the Sword Demon Sect's movements became smaller. No one could understand what was going on. It was as if the wheel of fortune had turned. Some people who couldn't see through the situation thought that the Bright Yang Alliance's appearance had suppressed the Sword Demon Sect's momentum. However, those who could see through the situation knew that this was just an illusion. The Sword Demon Sect's actions were obviously because they had other plans.
Those with higher intelligence could see that the current situation had reached a limit. If this continued, a huge battle would be unavoidable. It would be fine if they didn't fight, but this battle would definitely engulf everyone. No cultivator would be able to escape.
Chu Mu also saw through the situation. He knew that once the battle started, he wouldn't be able to stay out of it unless he left the Land of Exile and returned to the Deep Blue World. Therefore, he made his move.
After two years, he stepped out of the manor for the first time and headed towards the Bloodbath Manor.
Soon, Chu Mu arrived outside the Bloodbath Manor and walked in. His speed didn't seem fast, and he didn't hide his figure. However, the guards guarding the entrance didn't notice him at all. They felt that Chu Mu was like an invisible person, walking past them and entering the manor.
Actually, his speed was too fast. Even if he didn't reveal his full strength, it wasn't something that a few high level Saint Realm experts could notice.
His path was unobstructed. Relying on his senses, Chu Mu arrived at Tu Qianjun's location. At this moment, Tu Qianjun was in the main hall of the Bloodbath Manor, meeting with the experts of the Bloodbath Manor and hosting a meeting.
Tu Qianjun was a Bright Yang Sword Saint. Other than him, the Bright Moon Sword Saints and Dark Star Sword Saints of the Bloodbath Manor were all gathered in the main hall.
Without any fluctuations, Chu Mu directly appeared in the hall.
Tu Qianjun only sensed him the moment he appeared. His eyes narrowed, and a blood-red light pierced through the void like a rainbow.
Then, those Dark Star and Bright Moon Elites released their auras and locked onto Chu Mu. However, when Chu Mu stood in front of them, they couldn't lock onto him. It was as if he was a cloud of nothingness.
This was the difference between realms.
"Chu Mu!" The bloody light in Tu Qianjun's eyes disappeared and was replaced by shock. He exclaimed, "Aren't you already dead?"
"I was lucky not to die," Chu Mu said with a smile.
Hearing Tu Qianjun's words, the rest of the Slaughtering Blood Manor's experts widened their eyes in shock. Their shocked gazes landed on Chu Mu.
Rumor had it that Chu Mu had been chased by the Ancient Blade and was swallowed by the Spatial Rift. He should have been dead, but no one had expected him to still be alive. They all knew how powerful the Spatial Rift was.
"It's good that you didn't die." Tu Qianjun also smiled.
Back then, the seven stars were neck to neck. Later, Chu Mu took the lead and surpassed them. The six of them also treated Chu Mu as a goal to catch up to. As for Sword Devil Feng Wuyi, although he was the eighth star and was also known as the strongest star, he wasn't within their scope of recognition.
This was because they felt that Feng Wuyi wasn't a pure person.
"My purpose today is to make a deal," Chu Mu said directly.
"What kind of deal?" Tu Qianjun asked.
"Four Evil Dragon Swords in exchange for treasures to refine the Saint Body," Chu Mu said.
"The Evil Dragon Swords contain the Evil Dragon's soul. It can be extracted and is very useful. I agree to this deal," Tu Qianjun said. Now that he had the strength of a Bright Yang Elite, he could be considered the person in charge of the Slaughtering Blood Manor when the Slaughtering Blood King wasn't around. He had the power to make decisions. Therefore, no one had any objections.
Chu Mu took out the four Evil Dragon Swords. The aura emitted by each sword shocked everyone.
"One low grade and three mid grade!" A peak Bright Moon Sword Saint exclaimed. Even Tu Qianjun was shocked.
They originally thought that the four Evil Dragon Swords were only low grade. They didn't expect that three of them were mid grade.
The difference between mid grade and low grade was very obvious. The Evil Dragon's soul contained within also had a difference in quality.
Shortly after, Tu Qianjun seemed to have thought of something. His eyes emitted a shocking light as he locked onto Chu Mu. His eyes were like swords, as if he wanted to pierce through Chu Mu.
"We can make a deal, but I hope that you and I can fight before the deal is done," Tu Qianjun said in a deep voice as he restrained the light in his eyes.
Chu Mu caught the change in Tu Qianjun's eyes. He understood that Tu Qianjun might have seen something. However, it wasn't two years ago. Even if it was announced, he didn't care.
"Alright." Chu Mu directly agreed.
Tu Qianjun had the strength of a Bright Sun Sword Saint, so he was qualified to fight with him.
"Let's go to the back." Tu Qianjun stood up and led the way.
Not long after, Chu Mu, Tu Qianjun, and the Slaughter Blood Mansion's three great fighting strength experts all arrived at the Thousand Battle Stage behind the great hall. This was a place specially used for duels. It was extremely spacious and the floor was made of silver stone. Moreover, it was covered in a layer of strengthened seals. Even a nine star saint rank expert's full strength attack wouldn't be able to break through.
The experts spread out and spread out to the surroundings. They activated the seal and surrounded Chu Mu and Tu Qianjun.
Tu Qianjun grabbed at the void with both hands. A blood-colored flame seemed to jump out from the void. It extended and turned into a huge blood-colored sword that Tu Qianjun grasped tightly with both hands.
Spiritual Sword Blood Slaughtering Sword!
Although it was only a peak low grade spiritual sword, it was comparable to a normal mid grade spiritual sword.
With the spiritual sword in hand, Tu Qianjun didn't hesitate to attack. Streaks of blood-colored Sword Light tore through the void and slashed towards Chu Mu without any mercy.
Chu Mu's figure was as graceful as the wind and as swift as lightning. In an instant, he shuttled through the streaks of blood-colored Sword Light. He brandished his sword with incomparable sharpness.
With just one sword, Chu Mu broke through Tu Qianjun's attack.
As expected of a Star Rank monster, Tu Qianjun reacted quickly. He flipped his sword and immediately used another sword art. It was the Blood Slaughtering Hall's inherited sword art — Blood Slaughtering Sword Art.
The blood-colored Sword Light was dense and filled the surroundings. Each streak was astonishing, and its destructive power was unparalleled. Even though they were far away, the experts of the Blood Slaughtering Hall could feel the terrifying aura assaulting them.
"Young Master's Blood Slaughtering Sword Art is so powerful."
"Bright Sun Rank strength is too tyrannical."
"I've cultivated the Blood Slaughtering Sword Art for more than a hundred years. Young Master has only cultivated it for ten years, but he has already surpassed me."
"Because he is the Young Master, someone who will become a King in the future."
With the strength of a Bright Sun Rank, the might of the Blood Slaughtering Sword Art was fully displayed. It was extremely tyrannical and filled with killing intent.
The surroundings seemed to be filled with blood-colored light, turning into a sea of blood. The sharp Sword Light floated up and down in the sea of blood, surrounding Chu Mu.
Chu Mu shuttled through the sea of blood, dodging each of Tu Qianjun's sword attacks.
This was the difference in cultivation realm, and also the difference in strength.
No matter how Tu Qianjun used the Blood Slaughtering Sword Art, he couldn't injure Chu Mu in the slightest.
"Waning Moon!" Chu Mu raised his sword. The waning moon hung in the sky, sprinkling down white light like water. The sea of blood was imprisoned, and Tu Qianjun's figure instantly stopped moving.
Even if it was only for an instant, it was enough.
"Fifteen!"
The meteor fell from the sky, shattering the sea of blood and attacking Tu Qianjun.
Tu Qianjun's figure was imprisoned, and he couldn't move. He could only watch as the meteor flew over. A terrifying aura rushed over and struck him, shattering him.
He discovered that he couldn't block the sword's might.
"Young Master!"
The experts of the Blood Slaughtering Hall were shocked, and they all rushed over with their fastest speed. However, there was some distance between them, and distant water couldn't put out a nearby fire.
The meteor instantly turned into a shadow, passing through Tu Qianjun's body and disappearing. Tu Qianjun wasn't injured at all. At the last moment, Chu Mu stopped his sword attack. To him, this was as easy as pie.
"Thank you for showing mercy." Tu Qianjun smiled bitterly, "I originally thought that after my seclusion, my strength had increased and I would be able to compete with you. I didn't expect the difference to be even greater. It seems like the Evil Dragon Hall's destruction was done by you, right?"
Chu Mu nodded, not denying it at all.
When the experts of the Blood Slaughtering Hall heard this, they were all dumbfounded, as if they had been struck by lightning.
This news was simply too shocking.
It turned out that the Evil Dragon Hall's destruction two years ago wasn't done by the Sword Demon Sect's Sect Master, Feng Wuyi, but by Chu Mu. Chu Mu's revenge.
To be able to destroy the entire Evil Dragon Hall by himself, his strength was definitely at the Bright Yang rank. In other words, two years ago, when the six stars were still in seclusion trying to break through to the Bright Yang rank, Chu Mu already had the strength of a Bright Yang rank Sword Saint.
Now, it wasn't that hard to accept that Young Master Tu Qianjun, who had the strength of a Bright Yang rank Sword Saint, had been defeated.
The former leader of the seven stars, the Unparalleled Sword Star, truly lived up to his name.
"If Bai Chen knows that you're still alive, he'll definitely come looking for you." Tu Qianjun calmed himself down and smiled, "However, his strength is only about the same as mine. He's not your opponent at all."
Hearing this, Chu Mu only smiled and didn't say anything. In fact, even if the six stars joined forces, they might not be able to defeat Chu Mu. They might not even be Chu Mu's opponent.
After the battle with Tu Qianjun, Chu Mu had further grasped his current strength. However, he still didn't know what his limits were.
"I need an even stronger opponent," Chu Mu said to himself, "Perhaps Sword Demon Feng Wuyi will be a true opponent."
A so-called true opponent was someone whose strength was on par with him, or even a little stronger than him. They were powerful existences that he would have to fight with his full strength.
However, right now, he was here to make a deal with Tu Qianjun. More accurately, he was here to make a deal with the Blood Slaughtering Hall. This deal was related to the cultivation of his Saint Body. It was very important.
