Deputy Commander Wu Ya's abode was twice as big as Yan Kaiming's abode.
Wu Ya sat at the head of the table, while Yan Kaiming and Chu Mu sat on the chairs on his left and right.
Wu Ya did not say a word, his gaze slowly sweeping between Yan Kaiming and Chu Mu. His gaze was like a tangible light, and whoever it landed on would feel pressured.
Every time, Yan Kaiming's body would involuntarily tremble, but Chu Mu didn't move at all. His expression didn't change. This caused Wu Ya to secretly admire him, but his face was solemn.
Previously, Yan Kaiming had already explained the cause and effect of the incident. Because of the commotion, many sword guards came to watch, so Wu Ya let Chu Mu and Yan Kaiming into his abode.
The two deputy commanders took turns to be on duty, and this time it was Wu Ya's turn. Normally, Wu Ya would cultivate in his abode, and only appear when there was a major incident.
This time, he was able to save Yan Kaiming because he felt that his breathing was not smooth after cultivating, so he left the abode to take a walk outside to relieve himself. Coincidentally, he heard Yan Kaiming's cry for help and quickly rushed over, just in time to see Chu Mu about to kill Yan Kaiming.
There was no time to understand what had happened, and Wu Ya had always been more cautious, so he intercepted Chu Mu to save Yan Kaiming before understanding.
Wu Ya was his subordinate.
There was a sword guard commander in the spirit stone mining area, but this commander usually cultivated in seclusion and rarely took care of things, so the two deputy commanders took turns to manage things.
As a result, after a long time, it was inevitable that some forces would form. The two deputy commanders formed their own faction, and the four large team leaders happened to be biased towards one of the deputy commanders. Yan Kaiming happened to be one of the large team leaders who was biased towards Wu Ya.
Of course, he had to protect his own people, even though Wu Ya subconsciously felt that Yan Kaiming was not telling the truth.
The reason was simple. Wu Ya was directly sent by the Great Kun Sword Mansion to guard, so he was very clear about the strength of the disciples on the Bronze Sword Ranking.
Back then, he did not even have the qualifications to be on the Bronze Sword Ranking, and could only look up to it.
Therefore, although he was surprised that Chu Mu could not let go of his sword after being hit by his sword qi, he did not pay too much attention to it. In his mind, people who could be ranked on the Bronze Sword Ranking often had their own unique points.
Most importantly, although the Sword Mansion encouraged students to rely on themselves, if an ordinary student was killed in a conflict outside, the Sword Mansion would not pursue the matter for revenge.
However, if it was a student on the Bronze Sword List, it would be different. They would be highly valued by the Sword Mansion. Every one of them was a treasure.
Especially when he was sent out on a mission by the Sword House. If something happened to him, the Sword House would definitely investigate to the end. Not to mention a Qi Hai swordsman like him, he was as insignificant as an ant to the Sword House.
Moreover, during the time when Yan Kaiming was explaining, Chu Mu did not say a word. His expression did not change, and he looked as if nothing had happened. This extraordinary bearing was enough to make people admire him.
Such a person, Wu Ya would never be able to associate Chu Mu with a deranged killing devil.
Then there was only one conclusion: Yan Kaiming was lying.
If it had been another Deputy Commander or Commander, Yan Kaiming would have been in big trouble this time. However, it was Wu Ya who was helpless.
"Chu Mu, what do you have to say about what Yan Kaiming said?" Wu Ya finally spoke, making Yan Kaiming let out a sigh of relief. That kind of pressure was too unbearable.
"There is nothing to explain," Chu Mu said indifferently, and looked at Yan Kaiming: "Tell me, who told you to take my life?"
"Chu Mu, don't think that just because you are a student on the Bronze Sword List, you can do whatever you want." With Wu Ya present, Yan Kaiming's tone became stiff. "I've already said it very clearly. Everything was just a coincidence, just a coincidence. Who knows where the picture of Wolf in the Forest came from? Maybe you've offended someone before."
Yan Kaiming's fierce defense made Wu Ya even more convinced that this matter was directly related to him. However, Yan Kaiming was his subordinate, one of the two captains. Once he died, he couldn't find a second person to replace him in a short period of time.
"Chu Mu, do you have any evidence to prove that Yan Kaiming was behind this?" Wu Ya turned to look at Chu Mu and asked.
"No." Chu Mu said indifferently. Indeed, he didn't have any direct evidence, but as long as he knew, it was fine. Although he couldn't kill him now, it didn't mean that he couldn't kill him in the future.
"Since there is no direct evidence to prove that this matter is related to Yan Kaiming, then let it be for now. I will continue to investigate and give you an explanation when the time comes." Wu Ya said. He didn't give Chu Mu any chance to refute and continued: "The Savage Five of the Desolate Border are too famous, and each one of them is very cunning. This time, you killed Wolf in the Forest, so I'm afraid the other four won't let you go. If they want to make a move on you, you can inform me and I will deal with them."
"Thank you." Chu Mu said indifferently. He stood up and clasped his hands: "I'll take my leave first."
Although Chu Mu was young, he wasn't stupid at all. He understood the meaning of Wu Ya's words very clearly. It was nothing more than him siding with Yan Kaiming and turning this matter into a small matter, and a small matter into nothing.
If there was no direct evidence, and if there was an explanation after the investigation, it was just an excuse.
Once Chu Mu really believed it, then he could only wait, and wait, and wait until there was no result from the investigation.
Originally, Wu Ya didn't look like a cunning person, and was the kind of person who could be befriended. Unfortunately, he was siding with Yan Kaiming, and Yan Kaiming wanted to kill Chu Mu, so he was Chu Mu's enemy.
A person who was siding with his enemy, no matter how good he was, Chu Mu wouldn't have any interaction with him. Even if there was an unavoidable conflict, Chu Mu wouldn't show any mercy.
Wu Ya didn't ask him to stay, nor did he need to.
When he walked out of Wu Ya's cave, it was already late at night. Chu Mu looked at the dark sky, then walked back to his cave.
After two intense battles today, he needed to go back and think carefully. As for Yan Kaiming's life, if he couldn't take it now, he could take it in the future. As long as there was a chance, Chu Mu definitely wouldn't let him go.
… …
"Senior Wu Ya, this fellow relied on the fact that he came from the Sword Residence and didn't put you in his eyes." the moment Chu Mu left, Yan Kaiming rolled his eyes and quickly stood up to speak, fanning the flames.
He was very worried that Chu Mu would continue to seek revenge, so no matter what, he couldn't let Chu Mu live. At least, he couldn't let Chu Mu continue to stay here.
"Yan Kaiming, this time I saved your life." Wu Ya interrupted Yan Kaiming and said coldly.
"Yes, yes, Lord Wu Ya. This time, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be standing here talking right now." Yan Kaiming immediately said. He didn't understand the meaning behind Wu Ya's words and continued, "But this guy thinks he's arrogant just because he's a disciple of the Sword Mansion's Bronze Sword Ranking. He didn't put you in his eyes at all. No matter what, we can't let him go."
"Oh, not letting him go? Then what do you think we should do? Kill him? "Wu Ya smiled coldly and asked in return.
"This …" Yan Kaiming was stunned and didn't know what to say.
Could it be that he really wanted to kill Chu Mu? Not realistic, not realistic at all.
"Yan Kaiming, I think you know better than me what's going on. Chu Mu also knows very well. Don't be blinded by temporary benefits. There are some people you can't offend," Wu Ya said sternly.
"Lord Wu Ya … I don't know what you're talking about …" Yan Kaiming's heart skipped a beat and he continued to play dumb.
"It doesn't matter if you know or not. This matter ends here. Be more restrained in the future." Wu Ya warned, "Okay, you can leave now."
"Then, Lord Wu Ya, I'll take my leave first." Yan Kaiming cupped his hands and left.
Looking at Yan Kaiming's back, Wu Ya thought to himself that it was a pity that he couldn't get Chu Mu's Spirit Devouring Pearl.
Wu Ya didn't care anymore. He believed that this matter should be over now and Chu Mu shouldn't pursue it anymore. Yan Kaiming also understood the meaning behind his words. As long as he wasn't an idiot, he would know to stop here. Otherwise, he could save him once, but he couldn't save him a second time.
Yan Kaiming quickly left Wu Ya's abode and returned to his own abode.
"Unfortunately, I have no fate with the supreme grade sword." Yan Kaiming clenched his fists and was inwardly furious, "However, as long as the other four of the Vicious Five make a move, Chu Mu will definitely die. At that time, I can say that it was my arrangement and I can still get the supreme grade sword. What a pity about the Spirit Devouring Pearl."
"Only, Senior Wu Ya said that if the Desolate Border's Five Evils came to find Chu Mu, I could ask him for help. This way, Chu Mu wouldn't die. I have to think of a way to make Senior Wu Ya unable to help Chu Mu. This way, Chu Mu would be killed by the Desolate Border's Five Evils." Yan Kaiming's eyes flashed with a sinister glint as he constantly schemed.
Moreover, he quickly put his plan into action.
In the dark night, a figure silently disappeared into the night. He quickly left the mining area and headed towards the depths of the Desolate Mountain Range.
…
"Second Brother, don't stop me. I must kill this Chu Mu to avenge Fourth Brother." The fifth of the Vicious Five, Yunzhong He, roared furiously.
"I also want to avenge Fourth Brother and kill that Chu Mu with a thousand cuts. However, now is not the time. Let's wait for Third Brother to come back." Shan Zhonghu stopped Yunzhong He, not letting him leave.
Lin Zhonglang was slightly stronger than Yunzhong He, but even he died under Chu Mu's sword. If Yunzhong He went, he most likely wouldn't be able to survive.
"I'm back." A figure flashed past and appeared in front of the two. "According to the information from Yan, that damned Chu Mu is now under Wu Ya's protection. If we act rashly, we might attract Wu Ya's attention. With his cultivation, it's easy for him to kill us. Therefore, we can only wait for an opportunity. Wait for that Chu guy to leave the mining area."
"How long do we have to wait?" Yunzhong He angrily said. He finally gave up on the idea of revenge. Unfortunately, Wu Ya's cultivation was too strong. Even if the three of them worked together, they would be easily killed.
"There will definitely be an opportunity." Third Brother's snake said. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
