"What!"
"Chu Mu, the sixth place of the Great Alliance Competition, it's really you!"
Sacred Lord Azure's eyes widened and his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. His body trembled as if he was struck by lightning. His mind was in a trance and he felt as if he was in a dream.
After a long time, Sacred Lord Azure finally calmed down. He looked at Chu Mu's young face that was filled with indifference. There was an incomparable confidence in Chu Mu's eyes. It wasn't arrogance, it was the result of countless life-and-death experiences and countless defeats.
Letting out a breath, Azure Holy Master completely accepted this reality. However, her gaze towards Chu Mu was very complicated. She had an indescribable feeling in her heart. She felt that her many years of cultivation had all been wasted on a pig or a dog.
Alright, compared to the top peerless geniuses, there was nothing he could compare to. He was very happy as Chu Mu was born in the Azure Boundary. His growth would affect the Azure Boundary's fate. Perhaps because of the short time and the fact that Chu Mu wasn't strong enough, the effects couldn't be seen. However, after some time or when Chu Mu reached the Sovereign Realm, the effects on the Azure Boundary would become clearer.
"Sacred Lord, I have something to deal with this time." Chu Mu said as his eyes shone. "Twenty years ago, a Great Emperor said that he was under the orders of Sacred Lord to send me out of the Azure Boundary. Is that true?"
"That's right. At that time, we were unable to fight against the experts of the Scarlet Boundary. We could only send you out of the Azure Boundary to a higher boundary so that you could increase your strength in a shorter period of time." Sacred Lord Azure smiled. "Now that I see you, I know that my decision back then was correct."
Chu Mu looked at Sacred Lord Azure. He wasn't afraid because Sacred Lord Azure was a Peak Third Step Great Emperor. From Sacred Lord Azure's eyes, he could tell that Sacred Lord Azure wasn't lying.
"Holy master, do you know that back then, I almost died in the chaotic void." Chu Mu said neither quickly nor slowly. His tone was extremely calm.
"What do you mean?" Azure Holy Master's heart shook, feeling that Chu Mu was implying something.
"The flying ship that sent me away had been tampered with. It exploded not long after leaving the Azure Realm." Chu Mu said in a calm tone as if he was talking about someone else. "I sensed the danger ahead of time and used all my strength to break open the door of the flying ship. The moment the flying ship exploded, I rushed out of the flying ship."
Hearing Chu Mu's words, Azure Sacred Lord's face darkened.
Chu Mu didn't say much. Compared to the entire process, it was very short. However, from what Chu Mu said, Azure Holy Lord could imagine how dangerous it was.
The words "used all my strength to break open the door" were enough to show that the door of the flying ship had been tampered with as well. The purpose was to prevent people from leaving the flying ship.
It was no wonder that Azure Holy Lord's face turned so pale. Back then, he had ordered a First Step Great Emperor from the Sacred Palace to secretly take Chu Mu out of the Azure Realm on the flying ship. However, he hadn't expected that such a thing would happen. Azure Holy Lord didn't think that Chu Mu was there to amuse him.
Why would a peerless genius, ranked sixth in the Grand Alliance Tournament, come here just to make fun of him?
In other words, the flying ship had been tampered with to kill Chu Mu. The person who had tampered with it was undoubtedly the First Step Great Emperor he had sent out back then.
Thinking of this, Azure Holy Lord couldn't help but feel afraid. If that person had succeeded, wouldn't Chu Mu be dead? Wouldn't that be a great loss to the Azure Realm and the entire Human Race?
Killing intent surged from the depths of his heart.
Azure Saint Lord had the urge to find that One-step Great Emperor and execute him.
"Holy Lord, I didn't die back then. I decided that I would personally take revenge in the future. Now, I'm back." Chu Mu said. He could see through Azure Holy Lord's thoughts at a glance. However, he wanted to do it himself.
"Alright." Azure Holy Lord agreed. "Men, bring Bai Gaoran over to see me."
…
Bai Gaoran had been very careful in the past twenty years because he had tampered with the airship, causing it to explode not long after leaving the Azure Bounded Domain. After returning to the Azure Holy Palace, he felt a little guilty, so he stayed in seclusion.
Fortunately, he hadn't been discovered, and he gradually relaxed. After modifying the flying ship and causing it to explode, Huang Xiaolong had also obtained a lot of benefits from the Scarlet Red World's Scarlet Flame Land. Therefore, in the past twenty years, Huang Xiaolong's cultivation had increased significantly. He had risen from mid-level Emperor Realm to high-level Emperor Realm, and his strength had also increased significantly.
After twenty years, Bai Gaoran had almost forgotten about what had happened back then. Because it was already in the past, there was no need to remember it.
He didn't know why he was suddenly summoned by Azure Holy Lord. However, as an Emperor Realm expert of the Azure Holy Palace, his status in the Azure Holy Palace was still very high. Therefore, he wasn't worried at all.
When Bai Gaoran stepped into the hall, he saw Chu Mu's back. For a moment, he felt that Chu Mu was familiar, but he couldn't remember where. He didn't think too much about it and strode into the hall.
"Greetings, Holy Lord. May I know what orders you have for me?" Bai Gaoran bowed respectfully and said.
"Bai Gaoran, turn around and see who is behind you." Azure Holy Lord's tone was cold, and it made Bai Gaoran's body tremble. When he turned around, it was as if he had been struck by lightning. His entire body trembled and he became motionless like a wooden statue.
Bai Gaoran's eyes widened. His eyeballs looked as if they were about to fall out of their sockets. His pupils contracted to the size of needles.
For a moment, he even thought that he was hallucinating.
Soon, Bai Gaoran reacted and pretended to be surprised. "You are … Chu Mu. I haven't seen you for more than twenty years. Your cultivation base has increased by so much."
Bai Gaoran's cultivation base was the same as Chu Mu's, but his level was lower. Therefore, he couldn't accurately determine Chu Mu's cultivation base. He only felt that it was unfathomable, but he didn't think that Chu Mu was a Great Emperor.
After all, when Chu Mu left more than twenty years ago, his cultivation base was only at the Immemorial Realm. Now that more than twenty years had passed, even if he was a genius, it would be good if he could reach the Saint Venerable Realm. As for why he couldn't see through Chu Mu's cultivation base, it could only be attributed to his cultivation technique or other reasons.
"You must be very surprised that I didn't die back then." Chu Mu's words were very direct.
"What did you say?" Bai Gaoran was confused and immediately became angry. "Don't tell me that after you left the Azure World, the people from the Scarlet World continued to chase after you?"
It had to be said that Bai Gaoran's acting skills were quite good. He acted as if he was standing in Chu Mu's shoes and was angry.
Chu Mu's gaze didn't change. Like an ancient well, he stared at Bai Gaoran. Bai Gaoran, on the other hand, fearlessly stared back at Chu Mu, as if he really hadn't done anything.
"Bai Gaoran, what benefits did the people from the Scarlet Flame World give you to betray the Sacred Palace?" Azure Holy Lord asked. Although Bai Gaoran's expression was very natural, Azure Holy Lord clearly saw his reaction when he saw Chu Mu and became even more certain.
"What did you say, Holy Lord?" Bai Gaoran acted as if he didn't know what was going on and said angrily, "Holy Lord, the sun and moon can bear witness to my loyalty to the Sacred Palace."
Azure Holy Lord and Chu Mu looked at Bai Gaoran's performance as if they were watching a joke.
They were already certain that Bai Gaoran was behind the incident back then.
"Back then, I almost died in the explosion of the flying ship. I swore that one day, I would come back and seek justice." Chu Mu looked at Bai Gaoran and said unhurriedly, "Now that I'm back, I feel that you're not magnanimous enough."
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you admit it or not." Chu Mu said and then looked at Azure Holy Lord. "Holy Lord, today, I will kill this person."
Sword Light flashed as soon as he said that.
Bai Gaoran reacted quickly when he heard Chu Mu's words. He blasted out a palm and a powerful palm wind swept out toward Chu Mu. He quickly retreated and turned into a stream of light and rushed out of the hall.
Bai Gaoran knew that he had been exposed. Even if he didn't admit it, there was nothing he could do. After all, Bai Gaoran didn't care whether he admitted it or not.
If Chu Mu was alone, he would definitely kill Chu Mu. However, Azure Holy Lord was present. Azure Holy Lord was a peak Third Step Emperor Realm expert. He was several times stronger than Bai Gaoran, a high-level First Step Emperor Realm expert. In front of Azure Holy Lord, if Bai Gaoran wanted to kill Chu Mu, he wouldn't even be able to escape.
Therefore, Bai Gaoran attacked Chu Mu while he retreated. It would be best if he could kill Chu Mu.
Unfortunately, he had underestimated Chu Mu's strength.
Sword Light whistled through the air and sliced through Bai Gaoran's palm wind as if it was a thin piece of paper. The sharp Sword Light carried a shocking chill as it flew towards Bai Gaoran at an alarming speed.
Bai Gaoran was a high-level First Step Emperor Realm expert. He wasn't weak, but he was only at the average level. Chu Mu was also a high-level First Step Emperor Realm expert. His strength was comparable to a high-level Second Step Emperor Realm expert. The gap between the two of them was too big.
Just as Azure Holy Lord was about to attack, Chu Mu's Sword Light was already flying towards Bai Gaoran. It was even faster.
Just as Bai Gaoran was about to rush out of the hall, he felt a sharp pain in his body. That pain felt like his body was being torn apart.
One sword, only one sword. Chu Mu had only used one sword to cut Bai Gaoran in half and shatter his soul.
Azure Holy Lord had no choice but to retract his palm.
He knew that Chu Mu was a high-level First Step Emperor Realm expert. He also knew that Bai Gaoran was a high-level First Step Emperor Realm expert. He was certain that Bai Gaoran wasn't a match for Chu Mu. However, Bai Gaoran was killed in one strike. This was too fast.
