Every single one of them was at the peak of the Nine Star Saint Realm. The aura they exuded was extremely powerful, especially the one in the middle. His aura wasn't something an ordinary Nine Star Saint Realm could compare to.
Chu Mu was a little curious. How did the Imperial Court know that he had returned to the Deep Blue World? How did they know that he was in the Tianshui Region?
Chu Mu couldn't help but think of the feeling of being spied on by the heavens not long ago. Perhaps it had something to do with this.
Needless to say, the Imperial Court had indeed thought highly of him by sending out ten Nine Star Saints. One of them was even at the Dark Star level in the Land of Exile. After all, thirty years was a very short period of time. In their estimation, his strength wouldn't increase by much.
However, the truth was the opposite.
"Do you think you have the ability to capture me?" Chu Mu's lips curled into a playful smile.
Perhaps he wasn't a match for the ten Kings of the Imperial Court. However, they were only at the peak of the Nine Star Saint Realm. No matter how powerful they were, they were just ants in his eyes. However, Chu Mu's aura was restrained and the ripples weren't obvious. Therefore, the other party couldn't see his cultivation at all.
"Things might change if we delay. Capture him." As soon as he finished speaking, one of them immediately attacked. His outstretched palm instantly became huge as if it had broken through the void. He grabbed at Chu Mu's body as if he was grabbing the moon from the bottom of the sea.
Chu Mu's body was a few times bigger than that huge hand. It seemed like he didn't have any strength to resist.
"Anyone who goes against me must die." Chu Mu said softly, ignoring the large hand that was grabbing towards him. He slowly lifted his left hand, seemingly slow but also fast. His sword and fingers were aligned, and he lightly tapped the air. It was as if there were ripples spreading out in the air. In an instant, the large hand that was grabbing towards him seemed to be imprisoned in the air, unable to move.
"Not good!" The expression of the leader of the ten changed drastically. Only then did he realize that something was wrong. However, it was too late.
A speck of starlight seemed to have come from beyond the heavens and appeared in front of the ten of them. It filled their eyes as if it had transformed into a vast and boundless world. Even their minds were shaken and their thoughts seemed to have frozen.
The ten peak Nine-star Saints from the Imperial Dynasty stood in the air without moving. Their eyes were wide open and had lost their divine light. They became lifeless and lifeless. Their life force was quickly fading away.
With a point of his sword finger, Chu Mu had already killed all ten of them, wiping away their consciousnesses. Then, he reached out and grabbed ten Yuan Spirits into his spatial ring. Even their spatial rings had become Chu Mu's treasures.
Then, Chu Mu pressed his palm lightly in the air. It seemed simple, but in fact, his palm vibrated countless times in an instant, but the air didn't vibrate at all. Instead, the bodies of the Imperial Court's ten peak nine-star Saints instantly shattered, turning into powder that fell into Lake Luoshui and disappeared without a trace.
"This palm is a good way to destroy the corpses." Chu Mu smiled to himself.
This palm displayed his greatest control over his body. If it was in the past, although he could do it, it would be a little difficult. But after being cleansed by 600 kilograms of Divine Water True Liquid, his body was much lighter and easier to do.
"Someone already knows about my return. Who is the one who predicted it?"
"The Imperial Court?"
Although he had killed the ten Saints from the Imperial Court, Chu Mu felt that it wasn't so easy to predict. Was it really the Imperial Court that predicted it? Or was it someone else?
The Sky Race!
Instantly, these two words appeared in Chu Mu's mind.
Maybe it was the Sky Race.
"If it is the Sky Race, then maybe it isn't just the Imperial Court that is looking for me." Chu Mu thought to himself. Immediately after, he felt a faintly discernible danger that seemed to be quietly approaching.
"Since that is the case, then come. If one comes, I will kill one. If two come, I will kill two."
In an instant, killing intent surged into the clouds.
Converging, Chu Mu turned into a stream of light and flew out of Luoshui Lake.
…
"Where is the green-robed man? Let him out. I want to take revenge for losing my arm back then. " A middle-aged man in a black and white robe stood in the air, thousands of meters away from Chu Mu. With his hands behind his back, he said to Chu Mu calmly.
He was the peerless expert from the Black and White Palace who had intercepted Chu Mu back then but had one of his arms cut off by Qing Ye. His aura spread out. In Chu Mu's eyes, he could vaguely see black and white light intertwining. It covered the surroundings and sealed off the area, cutting off Chu Mu's path of escape.
This was a power similar to a domain.
Chu Mu did not care. He carefully looked at the other. This person had intercepted and hunted him back then. Chu Mu remembered it in his heart. One day, when he had a certain level of strength, he would take revenge.
Previously, he had received news from the Wind Tower that there were two peerless experts in the Black and White Palace. One was at the First Refinement and the other was at the Second Refinement. This person was the First Refinement expert.
"Your arm has grown out again," Chu Mu said faintly.
His words immediately made the other person's face twitch. His face darkened, and his eyes were fierce. Murderous intent surrounded him, as if to penetrate Chu Mu's mind.
He was not a cultivator of the Way of the Divine Body, and his Divine Body had not reached the seventh level. Therefore, he could not regrow a severed limb. However, the lack of an arm was very disadvantageous to him and affected his strength. Therefore, after returning to the Black and White Palace, he had to use a treasure to promote the regrowth of his severed arm. It took him several years in total, and he had to endure a lot of pain. The memory was still fresh, and his hatred for Qing Ye, who had cut off his arm, was deep in his heart.
"It seems that you don't plan to let the cyan-robed man come out. Or perhaps, he can only appear once." Black White Round Palace's first refinement exceptional expert, Yi Daozi, laughed coldly, as if he thought he had guessed the truth. The corner of his mouth lifted into a smile, as if he wanted to see Chu Mu's panicked appearance after his secret was exposed.
However, Chu Mu's expression did not change at all.
"You're right. The cyan-robed man is my trump card. He can only be used once." Chu Mu said neither quickly nor slowly. "I originally planned to find you after a while, but I didn't expect you to come to me yourself. Did the people of the Imperial Court tell you, or did the people of the Divine Clan tell you?"
Although the Black and White Palace was powerful, it could not be compared to the Imperial Court, let alone the Divine Clan. Chu Mu did not believe that they could calculate his whereabouts. Thus, they could only get the news from other places.
"So what if it is? So what if it isn't? Today is the day you die." Yi Daozi snorted coldly and pointed a finger. A black ray of light pierced through the void and shot towards Chu Mu like an aurora.
In Yi Daozi's eyes, even a hundred Chu Mu would not be able to block this.
"Show me your strength." Chu Mu said. He slashed out with the Silver Light Spirit Sword in his hand. A bright silver Sword Light tore through the void and shot towards Yi Daozi.
Immediately after the silver Sword Light, Chu Mu became one with his sword and attacked Yi Daozi. The Eternal Spirit Sword was in his left hand. He attacked with both swords at the same time.
As for the black light, Chu Mu naturally dodged it.
"What? How do you have such strength?!" Yi Daozi's body trembled as if he was struck by lightning. He was extremely shocked and could not calm down.
He knew very well that 30 years ago, Chu Mu's cultivation was only at the early fourth layer of the Aeon Realm. He was lucky enough to escape into the Land of Exile. To be able to survive in the Land of Exile, which was even more chaotic than the Deep Blue World, was already very difficult. If he wanted to obtain fortuitous encounters, it would be even more difficult.
Even if he thought about it in the best way, Chu Mu could obtain fortuitous encounters after entering the Land of Exile and increase his cultivation, it would be impossible for him to reach the high level of the Saint Realm in one go. That would be heaven-defying.
After all, 30 years was not a long time. Some supreme treasures that could greatly increase one's cultivation had to be refined. If one did not meet the conditions, forcefully refining them would only harm oneself. Even the most gentle supreme treasures required a long time to refine.
But now, sensing the sharpness of Chu Mu's Sword Light, Yi Daozi immediately understood that his opponent's strength had already reached the level of a peerless expert of the First Refinement. He was not inferior to him at all.
30 years, it had only been 30 years. In these 30 years, he had used a few years to recover his severed arm. Although he had devoted himself to cultivation, the improvement was very limited. It could be said that his strength had not increased significantly compared to 30 years ago.
Cultivation was like that. The higher the level, the harder it was to improve. Usually, one needed enough time to accumulate. Otherwise, one would need enough fortuitous encounters to promote.
When one's cultivation was low, there would naturally be more fortuitous encounters. The higher the cultivation, the harder the fortuitous encounters would be.
At his level, it was even more difficult to improve because he knew that his talent had reached its limit. If it wasn't for other fortuitous encounters, it would be impossible for him to reach the Second Refinement. At best, he could reach the peak of the First Refinement. Looking at how Chu Mu had reached the level of a peerless expert of the First Refinement in just 30 years, he was going crazy with jealousy.
"I'm going to kill you! Die, die, die!" Yi Daozi had really gone crazy. He grabbed the void with both hands and two short swords appeared. One of them was completely black, as if it could absorb light. The other was pure white, as if it was emitting endless light.
These two short swords were the treasured swords that Yi Daozi had refined in the past 30 years. He didn't know any dual swords, but with these two treasured swords in hand, he could unleash his strength to the next level.
"Dual swords." Chu Mu revealed a playful smile. The Eternal Spiritual Sword and the Silver Light Spiritual Sword didn't stop attacking. Their speed became faster and faster.
With the Heart and Sword as One, Chu Mu's every sword move was fast, accurate, steady, and ruthless. Yi Daozi could only block and dodge, unable to find a chance to counterattack.
There was nothing he could do about it. Who told him to underestimate Chu Mu's strength from the start? As a result, he didn't grasp the opportunity and instantly fell into a disadvantage. Chu Mu's strength wasn't weaker than his. Therefore, for a moment, Daozi was exhausted from dealing with it. He constantly dodged and couldn't find a chance to counterattack.
