Early in the morning, as the sun rose, the golden-red light illuminated the land. Everything was bathed in this light, full of vitality.
In the courtyard, Shentu Wudi's excited appearance puzzled Chu Mu.
"Brother Chu, big news, big news …" Shentu Wudi said excitedly.
"What big news has made Brother Shentu so excited?" Chu Mu was curious.
"Excited, of course I'm excited. You know, the Sword Saint's ruins. The Sword Saint's ruins have appeared." Shentu Wudi was practically dancing with joy, his face flushed red.
"The Sword Saint's ruins!" Chu Mu was shocked.
The two words' Sword Saint 'were enough to shock Chu Mu. Adding the two words' ruins', the shock was even greater.
The Sword Saint was the strongest existence on the Ancient Sword Continent to date. And the ruins were most likely something like a palace or cave residence left behind after the Sword Saint's death.
The words' Sword Saint's ruins' brought countless imaginations to swordsmen. It made them scramble for it like a flock of ducks.
Thinking about it, would the Sword Saint's treasures be left behind in the Sword Saint's ruins?
Would the Sword Saint's sword insights be left behind in the ruins?
Or, would the Sword Saint's inheritance be left behind in the ruins?
Such thoughts, such temptations, constantly attacked the swordsmen who heard the news, making them go crazy. Even experts at the level of the Sword Of Gojoseon were tempted.
On the path of the sword, it was very difficult to become a Sword Of Gojoseon, but that was not the end. However, for many Sword Of Gojoseon, that was the end. Because their potential had been exhausted, it was impossible for them to improve further. However, if they could find some treasure in the Sword Saint's ruins, they might have a chance to improve further. They might even be able to glimpse the mysteries of the Sword Saint.
"This time, our Shentu Clan's Old Ancestor will also appear and enter the Sword Saint's ruins." Shentu Wudi said excitedly, "Because the Sword Saint's ruins appeared in the Purple Heaven Palace, the various clans in the Purple Heaven Palace have sealed off the news. Only the top three clans in each county have received the news."
Chu Mu came to a sudden realization. In this way, it was equivalent to the Sword Saint's ruins being controlled by the various clans of the Purple Sky Mansion, and only they could enter.
Otherwise, if the news spread, even the people of the top ten sword sects would be alarmed. At that time, a large number of experts would come and enter the Sword Saint's relics. The various clans of the Purple Heaven Mansion would not even get a share.
The Purple Sky Mansion had a total of eight counties, and the top three clans in each county knew about it. In other words, all 24 clans had joined forces to control this news and prevent it from spreading.
"Brother Shentu, since this information is forbidden from being leaked, why are you telling me?" Chu Mu asked.
"I want to tell you, so I'll tell you. It's also my father's idea." Shentu Wudi shrugged his shoulders and said, "Every family ranked in the top three can enter the Sword Saint's remains, but there is a quota limit. For example, our Shentu clan is the number one clan in the Jinsha Region, so we have ten spots. The Fan clan is the number two clan, so we have eight spots. The Long clan is the number three clan, so we have five spots. "
Chu Mu listened quietly.
"Our Shentu clan has decided to give one of the spots to Brother Chu, so that Brother Chu can enter the Sword Saint's remains with our Shentu clan." Shentu Wudi's words were like a heavy bomb falling into a lake, suddenly exploding, causing Chu Mu to be extremely shocked.
"Brother Shentu, if you want to talk about the kindness from the Sword Technique Conference, I believe that you have already repaid it when I fought with Long Yi to the death. And the quota to enter the Sword Saint's remains must be very important. If your Shentu clan has one more person entering the Sword Saint's remains, you might gain more. To your Shentu clan, this is very important, so why are you giving it to an outsider like me?" Chu Mu asked.
"Actually, there is a condition for giving Brother Chu a spot." Shentu Wudi laughed, "That is to invite Brother Chu to become a guest elder of the Shentu clan. Normally, you will not need to do anything, and you will not be restricted. However, if the Shentu clan is in trouble in the future, Brother Chu will have to help the Shentu clan when you have sufficient strength."
"Alright." Chu Mu thought for a moment, and agreed in less than three breaths of time.
The Shentu clan was powerful and had a deep heritage. Whether it was inviting Chu Mu to become a guest elder of the Shentu clan or giving Chu Mu a spot to enter the Sword Saint's remains, it was a form of goodwill from the Shentu clan.
The current Chu Mu was very weak compared to the Shentu clan. Chu Mu knew that the Shentu clan had their eyes on his potential, the potential to soar to the heavens in the future.
However, the Shentu clan did not propose for Chu Mu to truly join them, but only as a guest elder.
Shentu Wudi had also made it very clear that this was the duty of a guest elder.
With such generous conditions, Chu Mu had no reason to refuse.
The temptation of the Sword Saint's remains was something that even Chu Mu, with his willpower, could not resist.
Furthermore, the Asura Sword Of Gojoseon had also transmitted a message to Chu Mu. Even an ancient Sword Of Gojoseon like him could not resist the temptation of the Sword Saint's remains.
"Good, good." Shentu Wudi laughed heartily. He was very happy with Chu Mu's reply, "Brother Chu, the time to enter the Sword Saint's remains is tomorrow afternoon. When the time comes, Brother Chu, come to my Shentu clan first. We will move together and enter the Sword Saint's remains."
"Alright." Chu Mu smiled.
"Alright, then I'll take my leave first. Brother Chu, rest up and strive for greater gains in the Sword Saint's remains." Shentu Wudi stood up. His mission today was perfectly completed. He was very happy, "After we return from the Sword Saint's remains, we will drink to our heart's content. We will not return until we are drunk."
"Alright." Chu Mu stood up and sent Shentu Wudi out of the mountain courtyard. He then turned around and returned to the small pavilion.
"I never expected that the Sword Saint's remains would appear in the Purple Divine Palace." The Asura Sword Of Gojoseon's voice sounded in Chu Mu's ears. He was very surprised.
"Anything is possible." Chu Mu replied.
"You are very lucky to have obtained a spot to enter the Sword Saint's remains." The Asura Sword Of Gojoseon said. He understood the value of the Sword Saint's remains better than Chu Mu, "Inside, you might be able to find treasures that can increase your strength by leaps and bounds. And I might also be able to find treasures that can restore me."
"Restore?" When Chu Mu heard the Asura Sword Of Gojoseon say the word 'restore', his tone clearly became excited.
"That's right. I lost my body and only my soul is left. I originally planned to use the Sword Sect's resources to cast a secret technique to regain my body after returning to the Asura Sword Sect. But this time, I was able to enter the Sword Saint's remains. Who knows, I might be able to find treasures that can restore my body." The Asura Sword Of Gojoseon's tone returned to normal after being excited, "Of course, it is only a possibility. If I can obtain it, I can save a lot of resources for the Sword Sect. If not, I can only wait until I return to the Sword Sect."
Chu Mu did not speak, but he had a thought in his heart. If there really was a treasure that could restore the Asura Sword Of Gojoseon's body in the Sword Saint's remains, he must obtain it no matter what.
… …
"The Sword Saint's remains …" In the Long Family, the Patriarch of the Long Family looked at the sky with his hands behind his back. He muttered, "Cancel tonight's assassination attempt on Chu Mu."
"Patriarch …" An elder was puzzled and hurriedly spoke.
"Tomorrow afternoon, we will enter the Sword Saint's remains. Our Long Family has five quotas. According to the news I received, the Shentu Family has given Chu Mu a quota. " The Patriarch of the Long Family did not give the elder a chance to continue speaking. He continued in a deep voice, "At that time, other than Qianshan, the First Elder, Second Elder, and Commander Long Ling will all enter. At that time, I will personally behead Chu Mu and dry his head to make an ornament."
The Patriarch of the Long Family's tone was indescribably cold, causing the temperature in the room to drop rapidly.
"Commander Long Ling will also enter!" The elders were shocked. Long Yi and Long Er were Sword Guards that had been nurtured by the Long Family since they were young. Commander Long Ling was the commander of the Long Family's Sword Guards. Before he went into seclusion, he was already at the Origin Realm Dacheng Realm. Now that he had gone into seclusion for twenty years, how powerful would he be?
"Alright, with Commander Long Ling going, killing that damned thing will be easy."
… …
"Why are you looking for me?" Within the pavilion in the courtyard, Chu Mu looked at the beauty with a face that could topple cities. His expression was like the water in an ancient well, without any ripples, as he asked indifferently.
"Of course it's something important." Fan Fenghua's face was cold. Her eyes that were like the silhouettes of water fell on Chu Mu's face, as if she wanted to see through Chu Mu.
"Speak." Chu Mu said very directly.
"I can give you a chance to soar." Although Fan Fenghua was surprised that this guy was not captivated by her beauty, he was not even the slightest bit shocked by her beauty. This made Fan Fenghua feel a sense of defeat. However, what she was most proud of was not her beauty, but her talent in business. Therefore, she only felt a little displeased.
"Soar?" Chu Mu's eyes flashed with a playful smile. In his heart, he had already guessed Fan Fenghua's meaning.
"Exactly. To a genius swordsman like you, this is absolutely a superb opportunity that's hard to come by in a hundred years or even in your entire lifetime. Once you gain something, it'll absolutely allow your strength to advance by leaps and bounds in a short period of time." Fan Fenghua spoke confidently, and her beautiful and cold face was overflowing with confidence and high spirits.
"What's the condition?" Chu Mu asked with a faint smile.
"Join my Fan Family, and I can even marry you." Fan Fenghua said very naturally. She did not have the shyness and reservedness of an ordinary woman. It was as if she was not talking about herself.
Chu Mu immediately understood that Fan Fenghua was probably using him as a bargaining chip. However, that was the freedom of others, and it had nothing to do with him.
From Fan Fenghua's words, Chu Mu also understood that Fan Fenghua, like the Shentu Family, had taken a fancy to his talent and potential. However, her method was more thorough than the Shentu Family's. She wanted to completely pull him onto the Fan Family's warship, become a member of the Fan Family, and share the Fan Family's glory and disgrace.
"I prefer freedom." Chu Mu said, rejecting Fan Fenghua.
"If you change your mind before tomorrow afternoon, you can come to the Fan Family to look for me. You just have to tell me my name." Fan Fenghua did not pester him. She got up and spoke to Chu Mu in a confident tone. After she finished speaking, she turned and left, leaving Chu Mu with a beautiful back view. (To be continued.
