"If you admit defeat now, stay away from the Holy Maiden and you won't get hurt." Said Ximen Ning indifferently. He was the number one true disciple of Azure Holy Palace. His cultivation had reached the eighth Immemorial Layer and he had entered the Azure Holy Palace not long ago. However, he hadn't obtained the original source of the Azure Holy Palace. Instead, he had obtained other benefits. Therefore, his cultivation had increased and his Qi had become more majestic.
He had challenged Chu Mu for two reasons. He couldn't bear to see the Holy Maiden looking for Chu Mu again and again. He wanted to teach Chu Mu a lesson. Secondly, he wanted to curry favor with Holy Son Azure Holy Son because he was Holy Son Azure Holy Son's henchman. Holy Son Azure Holy Son had always thought that the Holy Maiden would become his woman. He couldn't bear to see her getting close to other men. Ximen Ning was very clear about that. However, Holy Son Azure Holy Son was cultivating in seclusion at the moment. As Holy Son Azure Holy Son's top warrior, he naturally had to solve the problem for him.
"I'm very grateful that Holy Son Azure Holy Palace allowed me to stay in Azure Holy Palace and gave me the cultivation resources of a true disciple. Therefore, I won't be too harsh on you." Chu Mu said unhurriedly. Instantly, the crowd was angered and began to criticize him. However, Chu Mu remained unmoved.
Now, he was under the protection of the Azure Holy Palace and enjoyed the cultivation resources of the Azure Holy Palace. To a certain extent, there was a karma between him and the Azure Holy Palace. In the future, when he became stronger, he would repay this kindness and end the karma. Of course, it was reasonable to not be too harsh on the territory of others. It was enough to teach them a lesson and let them know that he was not to be trifled with.
"Seems like you're very confident." Ximen Ning was furious. He clenched his fists and a long and narrow blade appeared in his hand.
The blade light danced in the air and a terrifying blade intent filled the air.
All the blade lights condensed into a dazzling and earth-shattering blade light. It slashed towards Chu Mu. It seemed like the space under the blade was about to be cut open.
Suddenly, a sword light that was as white as snow jumped out from the void. It pierced through Ximen Ning's cold blade light. A tyrannical power gathered at the tip of the sword and struck Ximen Ning's chest.
With a bang, Ximen Ning was sent flying.
Chu Mu had skillfully used this sword strike. Thus, the tip of the sword did not pierce through Ximen Ning's chest. However, under the impact of the tyrannical power, not only did Ximen Ning retreat, it also impacted Ximen Ning's heart, causing him to temporarily lose the ability to fight.
Everyone was stunned. They didn't know the true strength of Chu Mu. They had only judged it based on the battle that day. However, they hadn't expected that Chu Mu's strength would be so tyrannical. He had defeated the number one true disciple, Ximen Ning, with just one sword. Such strength was enough to be compared with the saints and saintesses.
However, his cultivation base was at the seventh level of the Aeon Realm, not the ninth level.
"In the future, don't bother me again." Chu Mu said, then turned and left, continuing his cultivation.
After the Azure Saint found out about this, he was furious. However, he also knew that the person who could kill the Flame Emperor would not be weaker than him. Unless he fought personally, the other disciples wouldn't be able to defeat him.
"I'll let you be proud for a while. When I completely refine the Origin Energy and raise my cultivation base, I'll show you how powerful I am." The Azure Saint thought.
Time flew. In the blink of an eye, Chu Mu had stayed in the Azure Saint Palace for almost half a year. His cultivation base had also reached the peak of the seventh level of the Aeon Realm, and the second level of the Truth Seeking Technique was getting closer and closer to completion.
The second Cross-Realm Flying Ship landed in the Azure Region and met up with the first Cross-Realm Flying Ship.
"Let's go to the Azure Saint Palace."
"Wait, before we came, the Ancestor told us to do this …"
"It's actually so troublesome. Forget it, it's not a bad idea to not cause a war."
Instantly, figures left the two Cross-Realm Flying Ships, led by Great Emperors, and headed to the various regions of the Azure Region. Then, a group of people came to the sky above the Azure Saint Palace.
A powerful aura poured down, startling everyone in the Azure Saint Palace.
"They're here again."
The Palace Master frowned and rose into the sky with a group of elders. When he saw the other party, his expression changed drastically.
Last time, there were three Third Step Great Emperors leading a hundred peerless experts. This time, in addition to the original three Third Step Great Emperors, there were seven Second Step Great Emperors, and the number of peerless experts had increased from one hundred to five hundred. There were also three Eternal Realm geniuses, who were supported by the Great Emperors' power, floating in the air.
Three Third Step Great Emperors and seven Second Step Great Emperors. In terms of the number of Great Emperors, they had surpassed the Azure Saint Palace by quite a bit. If the Azure Ruler did not take action, the Azure Saint Palace would be at a disadvantage.
"I've heard that the Azure Saint Palace has many talented disciples. Today, I've brought the geniuses of the Scarlet Red Region, Scarlet Flame Region, to ask for guidance." Lightning Great Emperor smiled. His attitude was not as tough as before, but his tone was unquestionable. It was as if whatever he said was the truth.
"Ning Zhongzhi of the Scarlet Flame Region, Eighth Sky of the Aeon Realm. I've come to ask for guidance." One of the three Eternal Realm geniuses immediately came out and landed on the ground. His gaze quickly swept across the crowd with a hint of contempt.
Immediately, the Palace Master and the elders understood the other party's plan.
Since they were worried that a war would break out and attract the attention of the Sword Alliance, which would lead to the Sword Alliance's intervention, they had changed their method.
They were challenging the geniuses.
First, they could weaken the morale of the Azure Saint Palace and affect the disciples a little. It would not affect them in the short term, but in the long term, it might become a shadow that would linger in their hearts.
Second, they could test the strength of the Azure Saint Palace disciples and further speculate who was the murderer of the Scarlet Flame Region's geniuses. Or rather, who was the murderer of the Three Kings.
In other words, the geniuses of the Scarlet Flame Region would not only target the Azure Saint Palace, but also the top geniuses of the other regions in the Azure Region.
In an instant, the Palace Master had analyzed the other party's intention. But so what? This was an open scheme, not a conspiracy. They could not refuse the other party's challenge, otherwise, they would be seen as cowardly.
If it was an individual, it would not matter whether they advanced or retreated. But this was the Azure Saint Palace, which represented the Azure Region.
Even if they lost, they could not refuse the challenge.
Ning Zhongzhi was one of the top geniuses of the Scarlet Flame Region who had survived the invasion of the Azure Secret Territory. He was also one of the Four Kings who had survived. He was at the Eighth Immemorial Layer and was very powerful.
In the first battle, the genius of the Azure Saint Palace was easily defeated and seriously injured, which angered the other disciples of the Azure Saint Palace. But in the second battle, he was also injured.
In the third battle, Ximen Ning, the number one true disciple, fought against Ning Zhongzhi.
Although Ximen Ning was defeated by Chu Mu, he was not weak at all. He was on par with Ning Zhongzhi.
"Senior Brother Ximen, defeat him and let him know your power." Seeing this, the disciples of the Azure Saint Palace immediately shouted. Ximen Ning had high hopes for him.
"Is this all you've got? It's a bit interesting, but it's not enough. " Ning Zhongzhi suddenly sneered, the broadsword in his hand chopped down with great force, as if it could split a mountain. The sudden burst of tyrannical power was out of Ximen Ning's expectations, but Ximen Ning reacted quickly, he retreated a step, then quickly shifted his body and chopped down with his long blade, cutting through the water.
Unexpectedly, Ning Zhongzhi's sword suddenly turned around and slapped towards Ximen Ning. It was unexpectedly fast and Ximen Ning was sent flying. His shoulder was almost crushed and he lost the ability to fight.
"The genius of the Azure Saint Palace is only so-so." Ning Zhongzhi sneered and said, "I heard that the Azure Saint Son is the number one genius of the Azure Saint Palace. I wonder if you have the guts to come out and fight with me."
He mentioned the name, but the Azure Saint Son was in seclusion refining the origin energy. He did not know what was happening.
"Where is the Azure Saint Son? Is he not here? Or is he hiding because he heard that we are coming? "Ning Zhongzhi continued.
"Shut up, the Azure Saint Son is still in seclusion. Otherwise, he could defeat you with one finger." A disciple of the Azure Saint Palace said angrily.
"Hahahaha, are the disciples of the Azure Saint Palace a bunch of boastful people?" Ning Zhongzhi was not afraid at all. On one hand, he was confident in himself. On the other hand, he looked at the ten Great Emperors and the hundred peerless experts in the sky. They were his backers.
"Call the Azure Holy Son out. I want to see how he can defeat me with a single finger." Ning Zhongzhi added, as if he was afraid that it would not cause even more anger.
"The Azure Saint Son is in seclusion. I will fight with you." The Azure Saint Daughter walked out. She was chased by the Fire Emperor and was saved by Chu Mu. She did not stay in the Azure Secret Realm for long. Hence, she did not obtain any origin energy. The Azure Saint Son was chased by the Sword Of Gojoseon. Because of Chu Mu, the Sword Of Gojoseon gave up. The Azure Saint Son was lucky. He found a ball of origin energy and left the Azure Secret Realm in advance.
Hence, the Azure Saint Son was in seclusion and had a Great Emperor to help him refine the origin energy. The Azure Saint Daughter did not have any origin energy to refine.
"You must be the Azure Saintess. You shouldn't be any weaker than the Azure Saintess. Come, I'm right here. Let's see how you're going to defeat me with a single finger." Ning Zhongzhi looked honest, but his mouth was very nasty.
He purposely said that the Azure Saint Daughter should not be weaker than the Azure Saint Son to pick a fight. If she couldn't do it, it meant that she was weaker than the Azure Saint Son.
"The Azure Saint Son is the successor of the Sacred Palace. I am weaker than him." Azure Saintess said bluntly, which made Ning Zhongzhi's expression change slightly. His carefully laid language trap was broken by itself.
"Alright, then let me see how strong Saintess Azure is." Said Ning Zhongzhi with a cold smile. Then, he thought of something and said, "Azure Saint Daughter, do you dare to take a bet? If you lose, take off your veil and let me see how you look."
"If you lose, you have to kneel down and kowtow." Azure Saintess seemed to have been offended. She was furious.
