The Golden Lion Sword Guards were still unable to catch up to Chu Mu.
They had less than two hours to track him, but Chu Mu's speed was faster than theirs. Moreover, after entering the Demon Chaos Plains, Chu Mu did not move in a straight line. Even though the Golden Lion Sword Guards were good at tracking, in such a complicated terrain and under the attacks of demonic beasts, it was inevitable that they would make inaccurate judgments.
A slight mistake could lead to a great error. They had actually lost their direction. If they wanted to find Chu Mu, they could only rely on luck. This was something that even Li Kuangshi himself did not expect.
Unknowingly, Chu Mu had arrived at the foot of a mountain, the Demon Chaos Mountain.
The Demon Chaos Mountain could be said to be very deep into the Demon Chaos Plains. If one went past the Demon Chaos Mountain, they would enter the Central Main Sword Region. However, it was said that there were demonic beasts living on the Demon Chaos Mountain.
Demonic beasts were divided into low, mid, and high ranks. Low rank demonic beasts were equivalent to human Qi Transformation Realm swordsmen, mid rank demonic beasts were equivalent to Qi Sea Realm, and high rank demonic beasts were equivalent to Ninth Transformation Realm swordsmen. As for demonic beasts, the weakest of them was equivalent to human Origin Realm swordsmen.
Even Origin Realm swordsmen would not dare to say that they could go past the Demon Chaos Mountain, let alone those below.
A dark red light flashed and disappeared into the void. Immediately after, a miserable cry rang out. A Raging Inferno Cloud Stepping Beast a few dozen meters away from Chu Mu began to frantically struggle in all directions. Its powerful body quickly shriveled up and after about five breaths of time, it fell to the ground and became a corpse of skin and bones, completely dead.
This was a mid rank low-rank demonic beast. If it was a battle, it would not be easy for Chu Mu to kill it. However, the dark red dagger was too terrifying.
The dagger was picked out from the demonic beast's body, and the demonic beast's demonic core was also picked out. The dagger was only interested in blood. The demonic core was still intact. This was Chu Mu's only gain.
Up until now, more than twenty Demonic Beasts had died to the crimson dagger. All of them had their blood sucked dry. The two ancient characters on the dagger became clearer. If Chu Mu could understand these ancient characters, he would definitely be able to understand the meaning of these two characters.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from above, as if thunder was rolling. The ground under their feet also shook, and the surrounding rocks and trees also rolled and swayed.
The rumbling continued for a long time before it stopped, and everything returned to normal.
Chu Mu raised his head and looked up. After thinking for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up.
This kind of vibration was most likely related to the birth of some kind of treasure. It reminded Chu Mu of the time when he was still in the Qingfeng Sword Sect. The vibration of Qinglan Mountain was a sign that the Qinglan Void Realm was about to appear.
Treasures belonged to those who were capable. Although Chu Mu did not think that he was capable, he still wanted to see this treasure. If he could, he would naturally want to take it for himself.
…
Three days later, two pieces of news spread throughout Demon Shaker City, but they were completely unrelated.
The first piece of news was that a treasure had appeared in the Chaos Demon Mountains.
Many swordsmen from various forces in Demon Shaker City began to move. There were also many small groups of swordsmen who left Demon Shaker City in groups of three to five to enter the Chaos Demon Plains.
It was said that it was a cave dwelling. Rumor had it that there were many treasures in the cave dwelling. As long as one could enter the cave dwelling, they would be able to obtain those treasures.
There were even rumors that the cave dwelling was left behind by a powerhouse whose cultivation had surpassed the Primary Realm. There might be the inheritance of that powerhouse inside. Once one obtained his inheritance, they would definitely be able to soar to the sky and attract attention.
All in all, the rumors about the cave dwelling were getting more and more outrageous. Some people even said that it was a cave dwelling left behind by the Sword Of Gojoseon. This made those who did not know the truth even more excited.
It was the Sword Of Gojoseon. According to the records, there were only a dozen or so Sword Of Gojoseon in the entire Great Kun Dynasty. They were top-notch peerless experts, super powerful existences that reigned supreme in the entire dynasty. Every single one of them was above the royal authority.
If one could obtain the inheritance of a Sword Of Gojoseon and cultivate it to a certain level, they would be able to do whatever they wanted in the Great Kun Dynasty. They would even be able to roam freely in the Eastern Sword Region.
Who didn't want to be invincible in this world?
As a result, some swordsmen who were merely at the Sword Qi realm left Demon Shaker City recklessly. They ventured deep into the Chaos Demon Plains in an attempt to enter the cave dwelling in the Chaos Demon Mountains and see if they could obtain the inheritance.
Obtaining the inheritance had nothing to do with one's cultivation. In history, there were many stories of people with low cultivation who managed to obtain the inheritance and soared to the heavens.
However, once a mere Sword Qi realm cultivator entered the Chaos Demon Plains, even if they didn't die to the swords of other swordsmen, they would die to the claws of demonic beasts. The weakest demonic beasts that resided in the Chaos Demon Plains were low level, low-tier demonic beasts.
The second piece of news came from Mister Yun, who was known as Mister Nice. In the Chaos Demon Plains, he had been injured by a swordsman who was less than twenty years old but possessed the cultivation of Sword Qi at the Qi Transformation Realm. The swordsman had disguised himself as an initial Qi Transformation Realm cultivator and wore moon-white robes. He had almost lost his life to the swordsman's sword.
The swordsman had poisoned four people with the surname Liu. One of them was in his thirties, while the other three were in their twenties. He had killed them and stolen their belongings. Mister Yun had just happened to witness this, so the swordsman had attacked him to silence him. If it weren't for the fact that Mister Yun was strong enough, he probably would have died to the swordsman's sword already.
When this news spread, it immediately incited the fury of many people. There were many people in Demon Shaker City who had received Mister Yun's help. Coupled with the reputation he had built up over the years, Mister Yun had a group of admirers.
As a result, many swordsmen clamored to find that damned young swordsman in white robes. They had to capture him and bring him to Mister Yun to repent and so on.
Even the City Lord's Mansion had mobilized some experts because the current City Lord was surnamed Liu.
"A swordsman who is less than twenty years old and wears moon-white robes. Could it be him?" The Iron Sword Gang's Han Ye frowned thoughtfully. Soon after, he shook his head. "It shouldn't be. He's not that kind of person. I believe in my judgment."
Han Ye was eighty percent sure that the person Mister Yun was talking about was Chu Mu. For a moment, he couldn't accept it. One was Mister Yun, who was known as Mister Nice and had a good reputation, while the other was someone he had seen and judged with his own eyes. For a moment, the two different thoughts were fighting in his mind, giving Han Ye a headache.
"Gang Leader, should we set off?" a swordsman beside him asked.
"Let's go." Han Ye collected his thoughts and suppressed the two thoughts. With a wave of his hand, the group of people from the Iron Sword Gang left Demon Shaker City under his watch.
A cave had appeared in the Chaoyao Mountains. First, it was said to be the cave of a Primary Realm swordsman. Then, it became the cave of a swordsman who had surpassed the Primary Realm. Finally, it was said to be the cave of a Sword Of Gojoseon.
No matter which one it was, it was worth investigating. Not only the Iron Sword Gang, but the Wild Lion Gang and other major powers had also set off. Of course, they didn't go all out. The leaders of the various powers and most of their main forces stayed behind to prevent others from taking advantage of this opportunity to launch an attack.
No matter what, because of the appearance of a cave and the news spread by Mister Yun, the Four Directions Cloud was on the move. Chu Mu had also become the target of many swordsmen.
Chu Mu, who was already more than a thousand meters into the Chaoyao Mountains, didn't know about this. He was only following the direction of the tremors and advancing based on his own judgment and intuition.
The Chaoyao Mountains had a height of 13,800 meters. After three days, Chu Mu had only climbed a thousand meters, which was enough to show how difficult it was.
This was because Chu Mu realized that all the demonic beasts he encountered after entering the Chaoyao Mountains were all mid level demonic beasts. First, it was low level demonic beasts, then mid level demonic beasts. He had even encountered a few mid level high level demonic beasts.
Without exception, all these demonic beasts had died under Chu Mu's dark red dagger. The dark red dagger was too terrifying. With Chu Mu's strength, it would be hard for him to win against mid level high level demonic beasts. However, he could hold on for a while. While holding on, he could use the dark red dagger to achieve miraculous results.
Demonic beasts were much less intelligent than humans. Most of them were good at close combat. When facing an attack, they would dodge if they could, and if they couldn't, they would fight back and kill their opponent.
This was a huge difference between a demonic beast and a human. Therefore, using the dark red dagger had a higher chance of killing mid level high level demonic beasts. However, it was very difficult to kill a Qi Hai Swordsman like Dacheng unless the opponent couldn't react in time.
The blood of mid level demonic beasts was much more effective than the blood of low level demonic beasts. After absorbing the blood of another dozen mid level demonic beasts, the two words on the dark red dagger became clearer. Chu Mu estimated that after absorbing the blood of another twenty to thirty mid level demonic beasts, the two words on the dark red dagger would become clearer. At that time, the dark red dagger would appear.
This made Chu Mu even more expectant. He lifted his head and looked up. There were craggy rocks protruding out of the forest. There were also trees overgrown with weeds. Countless vines climbed up the rocks, causing the rocks and trees to be filled with ancient vicissitudes.
"Moon white robe, less than twenty years old, sword Qi waves of Qi Transformation Stage. The person that Mister Yun was talking about is here." Suddenly, a cry of surprise sounded out.
"Where?"
"Where is the bastard that dared to plot against Mister Yun?"
Loud shouts came from afar, filled with anger. When they reached Chu Mu's ears, Chu Mu was startled. Only then did he react, "Mister Yun …"
Chu Mu couldn't help but remember the words that Mister Yun said when he ran away, "From now on, you will be hunted down endlessly." So that's how it was. Mister Yun must have escaped back to the Demon Shaking City and spread the news, using his reputation as a nice guy to suppress him. That's why Chu Mu suddenly became a rat on the street.
At this time, there should be a lot of people who want to kill him.
Thinking of this, Chu Mu's eyes suddenly shone with a sharp light like the edge of a sword.
These people who were deceived by Mister Yun, no matter who they were, no matter what their goal was, as long as they wanted to kill him, there was only one end for them, death.
Chu Mu's sword would definitely not show any mercy.
Just at this moment, a series of wind-breaking sounds rang out as figures rapidly approached, forming an encirclement around Chu Mu. (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.)
