After Chu Mu killed Si Yufeng, he continued to search for the Heavenly Rune with Mingjing. Unfortunately, after spending a lot of time, they either couldn't find it or it had already chosen a master.
"It seems that I won't have the fortune," Mingjing sighed regretfully.
On the other hand, Chu Mu was in a good mood after obtaining a Heavenly Rune. After all, there were only 99 Heavenly Runes. Excluding the ones that had disappeared before anyone could obtain them, there were only a few dozen people who could obtain a Heavenly Rune in the end. These few dozen people had to be spread out, including the various races of the Yuan Realm Alliance, the Divine Clan, and the Demon Clan.
In this way, there were probably only five or six people in the Human Clan who could obtain a Heavenly Rune.
After a few months of high-intensity killing on the Killing Battlefield and several battles, Chu Mu felt a little tired. It wasn't physical exhaustion, but mental exhaustion. He was a human, not a machine. Therefore, he planned to return to the Human City to rest for a while and adjust his condition. In addition, he could still improve his cultivation. Perhaps he couldn't directly reach the Third Refinement of the Exceptional Realm, but he could improve on the foundation of the Second Refinement of the Exceptional Realm.
The two of them quickly flew towards the Human City, covering a thousand meters in an instant.
Unfortunately, a group of eight people happened to fly towards them. Each of them exuded powerful auras. They were led by an Extreme Sacred Venerable, two Great Sacred Venerables, and five Lesser Sacred Venerables.
Originally, the two sides should have passed by without interfering with each other. However, one of the Lesser Sacred Venerables casually glanced over and noticed Mingjing. He immediately transmitted a message to the others, and Chu Mu and Mingjing were surrounded.
"Mingjing, surrender and come back with us to the Ye Clan to be judged," the Extreme Sacred Venerable of the Ye Clan said.
Eight powerful auras locked onto Chu Mu and Mingjing. In the eyes of the eight Ye Clan cultivators, since Chu Mu and Mingjing were traveling together, they must be related. Moreover, to the Ye Clan, killing another Second Refinement of the Exceptional Realm was as easy as killing an ant.
Moreover, a mere Second Refinement of the Exceptional Realm was not worthy of their attention. However, if they knew Chu Mu's identity, they might not have such thoughts.
If they knew that Chu Mu was the real murderer of Ye Jingyun, they would probably skin Chu Mu alive and tear out his tendons.
Facing the encirclement of the Ye Family's experts, Chu Mu's expression did not change, but his heart was heavy.
One Supreme Sacred Sovereign, two Grand Sacred Sovereigns, and five Lesser Sacred Sovereigns. If there were only five Lesser Sacred Sovereigns, then he was confident that he could escape and even kill one or two of them. If there were two Grand Sacred Sovereigns and five Lesser Sacred Sovereigns, then he had a sixty to seventy percent chance of escaping. With the addition of a Supreme Sacred Sovereign, the chances of escaping were very low, but there was still a glimmer of hope.
"I can go with you, but this has nothing to do with him." Mingjing knew what was going on. No matter how talented Chu Mu was and how he could kill a Little Sacred Master, he was not a match for the elites of the Ye family.
Chu Mu didn't say anything. He was thinking about how to get both him and Mingjing out of this situation.
After all, he was the one who had killed Ye Jing Yun, not Mingjing. Mingjing only had a grudge against Ye Jing Yun and happened to take the blame for him.
As a friend, Chu Mu couldn't let his friend take on a responsibility that he shouldn't have in this situation.
"You are looking for Ye Jing Yun's murderer, aren't you?" Chu Mu suddenly said. He immediately attracted the attention of the eight Ye Family elites. Even Mingjing was very surprised.
"You know?" A Grand Sacred Sovereign's eyes flashed fiercely. His shocking aura locked onto Chu Mu.
"I know." Chu Mu smiled. Suddenly, eight powerful auras fell on Chu Mu, as if they were going to crush him.
"Speak," the Supreme Sacred Sovereign said coldly.
"Speak, but there are conditions." Chu Mu pretended to be struggling under the pressure of everyone's auras. "Let him go first. After I speak, you have to let me go too."
"Okay," the Supreme Sacred Sovereign agreed without another word and waved his hand at the others.
Would they really let Chu Mu and Mingjing go?
Of course, it wouldn't be that easy. But first, they had to find out who the murderer was. That was their goal in coming to the Killing World. Once they found out who the murderer was, they wouldn't let go of Mingjing or this Exceptional Realm Second Refinement.
"Brother Mingjing, you go first," Chu Mu said.
"Brother Chu." Mingjing didn't know what to say for a moment, but he understood the situation. He turned into a ray of light and quickly left.
"Brother Chu, if anything happens to you today, I swear on my Sword Way that I will destroy the Ye family," Mingjing said in a low voice. The sky and earth shook. This was his Sword Way oath.
"Speak," a Grand Sacred Sovereign of the Ye family threatened.
"Wait, wait until he's far away," Chu Mu said while clenching his teeth.
The eight experts of the Ye family were confident that a mere Second Refinement Exceptional Realm had no chance of escaping under their encirclement. Even a Little Sacred Sovereign or Grand Sacred Sovereign wouldn't be able to escape from their encirclement, let alone a Second Refinement Exceptional Realm.
Fifteen minutes. Chu Mu delayed for fifteen minutes. With Mingjing's speed, he could fly very far away in fifteen minutes. But for Saint Sovereigns, they could catch up even if he was fifteen minutes ahead. However, Mingjing definitely wasn't that stupid. He more or less had a chance of escaping.
"Speak."
"If you don't speak now, we'll kill you and then Mingjing."
Chu Mu knew that fifteen minutes was the limit.
"Okay, I'll speak." Chu Mu took a deep breath. "It was a day a few months ago. I just passed by the edge of the Killing World …"
"Get to the point," the Supreme Sacred Sovereign of the Ye family said angrily. He was about to lose his patience.
Chu Mu seemed to be startled. He paused for three breaths.
"The murderer is …" Chu Mu spoke again. The eight Saint Sovereigns of the Ye family all pricked up their ears. "I don't know."
The four words were like a thunderclap. The eight Saint Sovereigns of the Ye family were stunned. Then, they immediately reacted.
They reacted quickly. Chu Mu, who was already prepared, reacted quickly too. He used the Second Refinement of the World's End Near at Hand and disappeared from the encirclement in a flash. He reappeared ten thousand meters away. With another flash, he was ten thousand meters away again.
"Bastard, how dare you trick me! Chase after him and kill him!" The Supreme Sacred Sovereign was completely enraged. His killing intent erupted like a volcano. He took the lead and chased after Jian Chen.
The Second Refinement of the World's End Near at Hand was very fast. It was much faster than most Little Sacred Sovereigns. To a certain extent, it could even compare to ordinary Grand Sacred Sovereigns. However, the Supreme Sacred Sovereign was even faster.
In the blink of an eye, the Supreme Sacred Sovereign quickly closed in on Chu Mu.
"Faster, faster, faster, I have to be faster," Chu Mu thought. He constantly stimulated his potential to increase his speed.
The Second Refinement of the World's End Near at Hand was related to the mysteries of space. As a result, it consumed a lot of energy each time he used it. Fortunately, the energy he had cultivated from the Truth Seeking Technique had directly turned into Great True Force, so he could last longer. However, if this continued, the Supreme Sacred Sovereign would catch up sooner or later.
"If I shatter the Truth Talisman and Ripple of Killing Intent Talisman and use the Origin of the Way of the Sword, I might be able to put up a fight. However, the time is very short. It's useless," Chu Mu kept thinking.
Even though he was facing an undefeatable opponent like the Supreme Sacred Sovereign, Chu Mu did not panic. Instead, he kept thinking. He kept coming up with ideas to find all possibilities. It was because of his unyielding nature that he had been able to make it this far.
Chu Mu had walked through countless life and death situations. He was confident that he would be able to survive this time. Even if he had to pay a price, as long as he was still alive, there was still hope.
The Supreme Sacred Sovereign quickly closed in on Chu Mu. In his rage, he pointed out a finger. The finger light broke through the air and jumped continuously in the void. Every jump was like teleportation. It approached Chu Mu at a shocking speed.
As the danger neared, Chu Mu subconsciously reacted with his well-trained instincts. As he dodged, he slashed out with his Li Perishing Sword.
The finger light jumped and ignored Chu Mu's dodging. It went straight for Chu Mu and collided with the Li Perishing Sword. A terrifying power exploded, pressing the Li Perishing Sword into Chu Mu's chest. Chu Mu was sent flying a few thousand meters away. His Qi and blood surged. Chu Mu knew that he was injured. It was an internal injury. It was very serious. Just breathing slightly made him feel a tearing pain in his body.
Fortunately, the Truth Seeking Technique had a very good healing effect on injuries. The pain slowly lessened. If Xiao Chen had used the first layer of the Truth Seeking Technique to recover quickly, he would have recovered even faster.
The finger energy had been weakened by the attack from more than ten thousand meters away. However, it still managed to injure Chu Mu so badly. This shocked Chu Mu greatly.
Without hesitation, Chu Mu directly used the Secret Technique to recover quickly. He also used the second layer of the World's End Near at Hand Technique. He instantly moved ten thousand meters away, trying to maintain as much distance as possible. As for the two Greater Sacred Venerates, they were not as fast as the Supreme Sacred Sovereign. It would be very difficult for them to catch up to Chu Mu. As for the five Lesser Sacred Venerates, it was impossible for them to do so.
The reason for this was because the eight of them were too confident. They did not take Chu Mu seriously at all. Otherwise, Chu Mu would not have been able to find an opportunity.
"Friend, why are you in such a sorry state?" As the voice rang out, a light flashed. Then, a figure appeared beside Chu Mu.
"Tyrant Saber King!" Chu Mu exclaimed in shock.
"Are you being chased? I'll help you get rid of them." Tyrant Saber King grinned. He straightened his palm and slashed out. An earth-shattering saber light tore through the air with a sharp whistling sound. It was extremely terrifying and attacked the Supreme Sacred Venerate of the Ye Family.
This was a casual attack from the Half-step Great Emperor Tyrant Saber King. However, it made the Supreme Sacred Venerate of the Ye Family pale. He felt that the void in front of him had been sealed. He could not dodge it and could only take it head-on. This attack did not kill him, but it had forced him back and injured him.
"Who are you? How dare you interfere with the matters of the Ye Family of the Great Sky Domain?" the Supreme Sacred Venerate said angrily.
"Tyrant Saber King," Tyrant Saber King said in a domineering tone. It was as if he was not afraid at all.
