The Heaven Burying Sword Sect was located fifty miles north of Tong Tian Town. It was backed by a mountain range, with a forest to the east and a valley to the west. The location was quite good.
Normally, the disciples of the Heaven Burying Sword Sect could enter the valley, forest, or mountain range to train and hunt the monsters inside. On one hand, they could increase their combat experience, and on the other hand, they could earn contribution points by hunting monsters.
Tonight was a dark night. Early in the morning, the disciples of the Heaven Burying Sword Sect, except for those who were on a long journey, had all returned to the Sword Sect. Because of this, they couldn't see their fingers in front of them, so they could only obediently stay in the Sword Sect.
Of course, patrolling was still necessary. All the patrolling disciples were formed into a small patrol team of ten people. Everyone carried a Bright Light Pearl, and with the light from the ten Bright Light Pearls, they could still see things clearly within ten meters.
When Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng silently approached the Heaven Burying Sword Sect, the light from the Bright Light Pearls in the hands of the patrolling disciples was as eye-catching as fireflies in the dark.
"Junior Martial Brother, why don't we split up and eliminate all the patrolling teams?" Xiao Qianfeng sent a message.
"Okay." Chu Mu replied.
The two of them immediately separated, as if they had become one with the night.
For this night attack, they had changed into black robes. In this kind of night, even if they were suddenly hit by the light from the Bright Light Pearls, their opponents would not be able to react in time.
One breath, they only needed one breath's time, and they would be able to kill them.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng couldn't see each other because they were more than a hundred meters away. Their speed was extremely fast, and they were silent.
The Heaven Burying Sword Sect occupied a large area with countless houses. There were a total of ten patrolling teams of disciples.
Each patrolling team had a total of ten people, and each team was led by two Qi Hai Swordsmen and eight Qi Transformation Swordsmen.
In an environment like the Central Main Sword Domain, as long as one had the heart to train for a few years, entering the Qi Transformation Realm would be easy, and entering the Qi Hai Realm would not be difficult either.
It could be said that with a good Sword Qi Art and the help of some pills, a normal person would be able to reach the Qi Hai Realm within 15 years.
These patrolling disciples had a visual range of ten meters, while Chu Mu had a visual range of one hundred meters. In other words, even if Chu Mu stood ten meters away from these patrolling disciples, they still wouldn't be able to see Chu Mu. As for sensing through aura fluctuations, it was even more difficult because Chu Mu was very good at hiding his aura fluctuations.
After spending half an hour walking around the periphery of the Heaven's Burial Sword Sect, Chu Mu used his powerful memory and amazing thinking simulation ability to present the periphery of the Heaven's Burial Sword Sect in his mind.
Now that the knife was sharpened, it was time to chop the firewood.
The disciples of the ten patrol squads patrolled very quickly. They would meet up with each other every fifteen minutes or so. If they killed one of the squads and didn't meet up with each other after fifteen minutes, it was very likely that it would arouse the suspicion of the other squads.
Of course, if he could kill all the disciples of the ten patrol squads within fifteen minutes, then he wouldn't be exposed.
It seemed that Xiao Qianfeng also had the same idea. Chu Mu started to move.
His speed was extremely fast. He used the Flying Swan Illusory Steps and appeared behind one of the patrol squads in the blink of an eye. He unsheathed the Monster Slaying Sword.
Although the light emitted by the ten Bright Light Pearls illuminated a ten meter radius, it still couldn't reach the level of daytime. Chu Mu's appearance was too sudden, and his Flying Swan Illusory Steps, which already had a hint of transcendence, was even more mysterious and unpredictable.
The Monster Slaying Sword flashed under the light of the Bright Light Pearls, and ten blurry Sword Light flashed across the sky.
With a slight muffled sound, the bodies of the ten disciples stiffened and then softly fell to the ground. A blurry figure quickly circled around and caught the ten dead disciples one by one, and then gently fell to the ground one by one.
The purpose of this was to avoid causing a big shock. Of course, Chu Mu could also use his sword Qi to stop them, but the sword Qi would fluctuate, and it would be hard to avoid being detected.
It was better to be safe than sorry.
On the other side, Xiao Qianfeng was also silently hunting and killing.
His sword was incomparably sharp. Often, when it was unsheathed, it would take away a life.
With Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng's strength, the patrol squads of the Heaven Burial Sword Sect were too weak. Even if they were prepared, they could still kill them in a head-on battle, not to mention this kind of sneak attack where the other party didn't notice.
In less than fifteen minutes, the ten patrol squads were completely annihilated. Other than Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng, no one else knew.
After killing the last patrol squad, Xiao Qianfeng approached, and the two of them met up again.
It just so happened that after each of them killed five patrol squads, each patrol squad's swordsman had a low-grade spatial bracelet and a mid-grade spatial bracelet, and they all belonged to Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng.
After the two of them met up, they chatted for a while, and then separated again.
Only a hundred Heaven Burial Sword Sect disciples were not enough. Although the Heaven Burial Sword Sect was a new sect, there were thousands of disciples in the sect. A hundred was only a small part of the total.
The Heaven Burial Sword Sect was divided into outer and inner disciples. The outer disciples were at the Qi Transformation Realm, while the inner disciples were at the Qi Sea Realm. There were no Sword Qi Realm disciples, because only those who had reached the Qi Transformation Realm were qualified to join the Heaven Burial Sword Sect.
The outer disciples lived in the outermost area, the inner disciples lived in the middle, and the innermost area was where the elders lived. In the middle was where Venerable Zang Tian, who had the strength of a Sword Sovereign, lived. As for the Ninth Transformation Realm disciples, they were all in seclusion. As for where they were exactly, no one knew.
After all, the Ninth Transformation Realm was a very special realm. The less people who knew where they were in seclusion, the better, and the less they would be disturbed.
Of course, there were also some Ninth Transformation Realm swordsmen who knew that they had no hope of breaking through to the Origin Realm. They gave up on the breakthrough and went out to train, hoping that they would have a fortuitous encounter that would allow them to break through the shackles and reach the Origin Realm.
Although Origin Realm swordsmen were nothing in the Central Main Sword Region, to many swordsmen, they were still unreachable existences.
The outer disciples were dispensable, so Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng placed their focus on the inner disciples.
After all, nurturing Qi Transformation Realm swordsmen and Qi Sea Realm swordsmen were two different concepts.
According to the information that Xiao Qianfeng received, the Heaven Burial Sword Sect, which had thousands of disciples, only had about six hundred inner disciples, which was about six hundred Qi Sea Realm swordsmen. It was said that there were less than a hundred Qi Sea Realm swordsmen who had the strength of a Sword Master.
In the Eastern Sword Region, there were only about a thousand Sword Masters. But in the Central Main Sword Region, this number was thousands or even tens of thousands of times more. And there were even more swordsmen who had the strength of a Sword Master through hard work.
The hundred or so swordsmen who had the strength of a Sword Master were the disciples that the Heaven Burial Sword Sect focused on nurturing. The area where they lived was closer to the elders.
However, the distance between the inner disciples' area and the elders' area was at least a few thousand meters, perhaps to show off the elders' status.
Normal Origin Realm swordsmen couldn't project their mental strength outwards. Therefore, unless Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng's movements were too loud, the Origin Realm elders who were in meditation definitely wouldn't be able to detect them from a few thousand meters away.
Every Sword Tower had a corresponding seal.
The outer disciples' Sword Tower seal could block the full force attack of a normal Qi Sea Realm swordsmen without breaking. The inner disciples' Sword Tower seal could block the full force attack of a normal Sword Master without breaking.
With Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng's strength, they didn't need to use their full strength to break a seal of this level. However, if they used such a violent method to break a seal, it would create a loud noise that would immediately alert the Origin Realm swordsmen. When the night attack failed, they would have to run for their lives.
Luckily, Xiao Qianfeng gave Chu Mu a golden needle. He only had two of these golden needles. According to him, they were the treasures he obtained from the place where he obtained the inheritance of the Lifeless Sword Path.
The golden needle was not long, about the size of a normal person's sewing needle. Its hardness was comparable to a mid-grade sword, but its toughness was amazing. Even if it was bent, it would not break. The killing power of this needle was very limited, and it only had one use: seal breaking!
Seal breaking, as the name suggested, was to break seals. It was not done by brute force, but by the special nature of the golden needle and the special power it contained.
The name of the golden needle was Seal Breaking Golden Needle.
Chu Mu came to a Sword Tower and took out the Seal Breaking Golden Needle.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that the small golden needle was engraved with countless patterns. These patterns were either in the shape of spirals or ripples. They crisscrossed and looked very mysterious and ancient.
The person who was able to create such a treasure was definitely not simple.
The Sky Desolate Sword Qi quietly circulated and poured into the Seal Breaking Golden Needle. The seal breaking ability of the Seal Breaking Golden Needle was closely related to the user's cultivation. Of course, there was also a limit. Basically, it could break any seal below the Origin Realm.
The Seal Breaking Golden Needle that was infused with the Sky Desolate Sword Qi lit up with a golden light. This golden light was very bright, and the darkness could not completely devour it. However, it could not be seen clearly beyond one meter.
As the golden needle pierced forward, Chu Mu's sharp senses felt as if it had pierced through something. Immediately after, it was like a red-hot soldering iron falling onto a bubble, instantly melting. In just one breath's time, Chu Mu discovered that a large part of the seal of the Sword Tower had disappeared.
Putting away the Seal Breaking Golden Needle, Chu Mu's figure flashed and silently passed through the seal. In the blink of an eye, he had entered the Sword Tower.
Every Sword Tower was occupied by an inner disciple. When Chu Mu entered the Sword Tower, the owner of the Sword Tower was in the middle of cultivation. Thus, his perception of the outside world was reduced to the lowest level. In addition, Chu Mu's movements did not cause any sound, and his sword Qi was extremely restrained, making it even harder to detect.
The Sword Light flashed, and in less than a tenth of a breath's time, it was devoured by the darkness.
Immediately after, Chu Mu took the person's spatial bracelet and left the Sword Tower.
The whole process was very short, less than ten breaths' time. After Chu Mu left the Sword Tower and passed through the seal, the seal slowly recovered, as if it had never been touched.
