When Chu Mu and Chu Wangdao were on their way back to the Chu Sect Sword Dojo, the news of his death duel with the Tian Luo Martial Dojo Branch Dojo Master, Xiahou Yuan, had already spread throughout the eastern district and into the central district.
The eighth district of the city was where the Tian Luo Martial Dojo was located. At this moment, the Tian Luo Martial Dojo Branch Dojo Master was receiving an important guest. An important guest that he had to curry favor with.
"Branch Dojo Master, something bad has happened." In a small, exquisite living room, the Head Tavern Master, Zhang Honglong, was respectfully toasting to a dark-skinned old man. While he was praising him, someone suddenly barged in and shouted loudly. This immediately caused Zhang Honglong to frown.
"Get lost. Can't you see that I'm receiving an important guest?" Zhang Honglong angrily said. He immediately looked at the old man and squeezed out a smile, "Elder Hong, my servant doesn't know etiquette. Please don't take offense."
"It's fine. Looking at his expression, he does have something urgent. Why don't we let him speak first?" The old man said casually. His status and strength were far above Zhang Honglong. Naturally, he had the bearing to recuperate.
"Thank you, Elder." Zhang Honglong smiled flatteringly. He immediately looked at the person who barged in and his expression changed. He said gloomily, "Speak."
"Branch Dojo Master Xiahou Yuan from the eighth district of the eastern district had a death duel with the Branch Dojo Master of the Chu Sect Sword Dojo. He was killed. A few True Realm members of the branch were also killed because they tried to take revenge." The person was covered in cold sweat but quickly said.
"Trash!" Zhang Honglong angrily said. Xiahou Yuan was at the ninth level of the True Realm and he was actually killed. The others were stupid enough to take revenge on the spot. They deserved to be killed.
"It's fine if he's killed. When the time comes, we'll just send another person over to take charge." Zhang Honglong said. One must know that the old man he was trying to curry favor with was an important figure in the Heavenly Star Sect. The reason he was trying to curry favor with him was because he wanted his son to become his disciple. Even if he couldn't become his disciple, he could make an exception for his son. After all, his son's talent was quite good.
"But Branch Dojo Master, the person who killed Xiahou Yuan was at the twelfth level of the Qi Refining Realm." The person quickly said.
When the old man who was originally calm heard this, his eyes immediately widened.
"Nonsense. A level 12 Qi Refining Stage martial artist killing a level 9 Origin Stage martial artist, are you crazy?" Zhang Honglong naturally didn't believe it.
"Head Tavern Master, I'm not speaking nonsense. This is news that just came. Thousands of people saw it with their own eyes." This person hurriedly explained.
"What exactly happened?" The old man asked.
"Hurry up and say it." Zhang Honglong shouted angrily. The person who had barged in quickly explained the cause and process of the matter.
"Club Head Zhang, thank you for your hospitality. This old man will take his leave first." Elder Hong stood up and said. Then, his figure instantly disappeared.
…
When he returned to the Chu Mu Sword School, the Sword Qi in Chu Mu's dantian had completely dissipated. Furthermore, not only were his meridians broken inch by inch, even his dantian had suffered heavy injuries and was torn apart.
Under normal circumstances, such a situation would mean that he was crippled, but Chu Mu was not worried at all.
"Wang Dao, I'll leave the matters of the Sword Pavilion to you for the time being. I'll be in seclusion for a while," Chu Mu said.
"Big Brother, but I haven't dealt with it before." Chu Wangdao said in distress.
"How I usually deal with it, you just have to learn. In the future, the Sword Pavilion will be left to you to manage. Furthermore, you have to grow up, start a family, and pass down the Chu Clan's legacy." Chu Mu said. That's right. He planned to develop the Chu Sect Sword Pavilion first and then nurture Chu Wangdao. Letting him inherit the Sword Pavilion could also be considered as repaying the karma of the possession. Of course, the matter of Chu Wangting's father being killed also had to be resolved.
Just as he finished explaining to Chu Wangdao and was about to enter seclusion, someone barged in and appeared in front of them. It was a dark-skinned old man.
Chu Mu could tell at a glance that the old man's cultivation had surpassed the Nirvana Stage and was at the level of the Exceptional Stage.
"You're the Chu Wangting who killed the Level Nine Origin Stage Chu Wangting at the Level Twelve Qi Refining Stage?" The old man was Elder Hong. With his cultivation of the Eternal Stage, his speed was naturally astonishingly fast. His eyes fell on Chu Mu and flashed as if he wanted to see through Chu Mu. Immediately, the old man frowned and instantly reached out to grab Chu Mu's wrist.
Even though Chu Mu could feel the old man's move, firstly, his cultivation had been destroyed. Secondly, the old man was at the level of the Exceptional Stage. The difference between them was too great. He simply couldn't react in time and his wrist was grabbed.
Immediately, he felt a force enter his body and instantly spread around before returning to the original path.
"Your Dantian is broken, your meridians are broken, and your cultivation is gone. You're already a cripple. It's a waste for me to come here." The old man's face seemed to be even darker. He was furious and his attitude became worse. He coldly glanced at Chu Mu, snorted, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Chu Mu's frown eased. He didn't know the identity and origin of the old man, but he had barged in without permission and probed his body without his permission. It made him feel very uncomfortable.
If it was in the past, he would have killed the old man with a sword. He didn't have the strength now, but he remembered the appearance and aura of the dark-skinned old man.
"Big Brother, is what that person said true?" Chu Wangdao asked worriedly.
"He saw wrong." Chu Mu said calmly. Chu Wangdao didn't have any more doubts.
Today didn't seem to be a quiet day.
"Is there anyone here?"
A clear voice came from outside.
"Wangdao, go and see who it is." Chu Mu said.
Chu Wangdao nodded and quickly went outside. Not long after, Chu Wangdao returned. Behind him, there were two people. One of them was the Nirvana Realm young master that Chu Mu had seen before.
"Brother Chu, I'm sorry to take the liberty of visiting." As soon as the young master entered the hall, he looked at Chu Mu and said politely.
"Please sit." Chu Mu stretched out his hand and said, "Wangdao, serve the tea."
Chu Wangdao immediately went to prepare the tea. Although his cultivation talent was better than Chu Wangting's, he was younger and didn't have any arrogance. On the contrary, he was more introverted and listened to his brother.
"Brother Chu, my surname is Lu and my name is Shi. When I saw Brother Chu's life and death battle, I was very surprised and wanted to make friends with Brother Chu." Lu Shi said sincerely. Immediately, he waved his hand and a box suddenly appeared on the ground. There were more than fifty boxes in total. "I bet ten high-grade Primordial Stones that Brother Chu would win. I didn't expect to gain so much. Here are five thousand high-grade Primordial Stones. It's my gift to Brother Chu."
Lu Shi's approach surprised Chu Mu.
Five thousand high-grade Primordial Stones were enough for him to quickly improve his cultivation and surpass his current level.
"Thank you." Chu Mu didn't hesitate to accept the five thousand high-grade Primordial Stones. In this way, he had as many as six thousand and forty-nine high-grade Primordial Stones.
"I don't know what the sword technique Brother Chu used was called?" Lu Shi asked curiously. He felt that the sword technique was very mysterious and couldn't see through it.
"Vast Sky Sword Technique." Chu Mu answered truthfully.
"Vast Sky Sword Technique? Is it the Vast Sky Sword Technique of the Heavenly Star Sect?" Lu Shi asked.
"Heavenly Star Sect?" Chu Mu didn't know. "It's a sword technique left by my father."
Lu Shi thought for a while but didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he chatted with Chu Mu about other things. Then, he found that although Chu Mu's cultivation was only at the twelfth rank of the Mortal Realm, his knowledge was so profound that Lu Shi, a Nirvana Realm cultivator, felt like he had gained something. How incredible was that?
Chu Mu also gained something. At least from Lv Shi's words, he gained a better understanding of this world. Moreover, his seemingly unintentional question was used as a guide, causing Lv Shi to speak naturally.
In this world, there were different weapons and martial arts, but sword cultivators were the most widespread. However, not everyone who used a sword could be called a swordsman. Only those who had comprehended sword intent could be called a swordsman. Only those who had stepped into the Human Realm could be called a sword cultivator.
The so-called Human Realm, Chu Mu compared, was the level of One with the Sword. Those who had a sword in their heart were called the Earth Realm, and those who had the Sword of Heaven and Earth were called the Heaven Realm.
Moreover, sword cultivators were divided into two types. One focused on sword Qi, which focused on power. Sword Qi could be used to wreak havoc in all directions, and was extremely powerful in long-range and area of effect attacks. The other focused on sword techniques, which focused on techniques, and was good at close combat. Of course, there were also people who were proficient in both.
Chu Wangdao had never left Flower City since he was a child, and even rarely went out of the eastern city, so his vision was narrow. Therefore, listening to the conversation between his brother and the guest, although he didn't understand a lot of it, he felt that it was very powerful.
The conversation between Chu Mu and Lu Shi lasted for nearly two hours.
"After talking with Brother Chu, I feel that I seem to have understood more about sword techniques. I have to go and meditate on it first." Lu Shi got up and said, "Goodbye."
"Take care." Chu Mu got up and sent him off.
In this way, the two of them could be considered friends to a certain extent, friends who were as indifferent as water.
…
"Young Master, is the sword technique of Chu Wangting really so good that even you have to ask him for advice?" Ah Yuan asked, puzzled.
"I'm afraid it's even better than I imagined." Lu Shi said with a smile, "I didn't expect that this trip to Flower City would have such a harvest. Not only did I make friends with a genius with unlimited potential, but I also gained something in sword techniques."
"Wangdao, I'm going to go into seclusion. If anyone comes to visit, tell them that I'm in seclusion." Chu Mu said again.
"Yes, Big Brother." Chu Wangdao nodded.
Chu Mu turned and walked into the hall. He passed through the backyard and opened the secret chamber. This secret chamber was built by the father of Chu Wangting. It was very sturdy, and there were many restrictions to strengthen it. After closing the secret chamber, Chu Mu took out six thousand upper-grade Primordial Stones and scattered them. They seemed to be placed chaotically in the secret chamber, but in fact, there was a certain pattern to them.
After placing them, Chu Mu sat down cross-legged in the middle of the secret chamber. The sword Qi in his body had all dissipated. It was a good time to re-cultivate. As for the damaged dantian and meridians, it was not a problem at all.
