The Sword Pavilion had always wanted to recruit Li Mu.
It was just that they were afraid of Li Mu's fierceness and didn't want to get close to him.
In the past few days, Tie Wujin didn't dare to ask for Li Mu's help in case he was rejected and made Li Mu unhappy.
But in the past few days, the Eighth Prince of the Huangji Cliff had repeatedly extended an olive branch to Li Mu. Even a fool could tell that the Eighth Prince wanted to recruit Li Mu.
And Li Mu's reaction made Tie Wujin and the other powerful people realize that it was only a matter of time before this talented beast tamer and sword cultivator joined the Huangji Cliff.
Thus, Tie Wujin became even more anxious.
Once Li Mu joined the Huangji Cliff, it meant that his status would rise. Not only would he have terrifying strength, but he would also have the support of a powerful force. He was more valuable than before.
Of course, it was impossible for Li Mu to join the Sword Pavilion.
It was also unrealistic.
However, if Li Mu could assume the position of Elder Keqing of the Sword Forging Pavilion, it would be a joyous occasion for the Sword Forging Pavilion to soar into the sky.
With this title, it was like having a divine weapon.
In the future, who would dare to target the Sword Pavilion on the Fragrance Plain?
Tie Wujin was anxious.
He thought about it and finally placed his hope on Gu Junru.
After all, she was the first person to know Li Mu, and she was a beautiful woman.
Men were always more tolerant of beautiful women.
Gu Junru was the true disciple of Crafting Sword Pavilion's third pavilion master, Heartless Iron. She had a great sense of belonging to Crafting Sword Pavilion. Once she received the permission of her sect leader, Tie Wufei, she finally found a chance to muster up her courage and make this request.
She looked at Li Mu with hope.
But after hearing it, Li Mu said lightly, "Let me think about it."
"Oh …" Gu Junru's heart was instantly filled with disappointment, but she still forced a smile and said, "The Sect Leader and the various Pavilion Masters all respect Young Master Mu greatly. I hope that Young Master can finally give the Forging Sword Pavilion a chance. The Forging Sword Pavilion is willing to pay any price.
This matter had long been raised to the level of the Sword Pavilion's survival.
Gu Junru could vaguely feel that Li Mu did not have a good impression of the Sword Pavilion, but she did not dare to say anything more. After talking about a few other things, she stood up and said her goodbyes.
Li Mu did not stand up to see him off.
He did not reject the Sword Forging Pavilion.
From what he had seen and heard over the past few days, the Sword Crafting Pavilion could be considered a relatively peaceful sect. They rarely fought with the outside world, and they were not overly harsh on the inside. They were many times stronger than the Dao Seeking Sect and the Golden Peak Mountain.
But the problem was, Li Mu was a werewolf.
He was now a werewolf prophet who was going to be a traitor.
He had a big plan. He snuck into the Extreme Emperor Cliff to do something big.
Sooner or later, he would be exposed.
If he became a guest elder of the Forging Sword Pavilion now, once his identity was exposed in the future, the Forging Sword Pavilion would be implicated instead.
Therefore, Li Mu had already made up his mind to reject the invitation of the Sword Crafting Pavilion.
After sending Gu Junru off, Li Mu went back into seclusion.
…
"What do you think young master Mu means by doing this? Refuse? Or are you waiting for us to show our sincerity? "
After hearing Gu Junru's report, Tie Wujin also felt a little flustered.
As the saying goes, concern leads to confusion.
Even though Tie Wujin had been the leader of a sect for nearly a hundred years and had experienced countless trials and tribulations, he still could not figure out Li Mu's intentions.
Gu Junru thought seriously and said honestly, "This disciple feels that young master Mu has the intention of shirking. His ambition is not here."
Tie Wujin was stunned.
Like a deflated balloon, his spirit and strength seemed to have been sucked out, and his body bent.
His ambition was not here.
These four people were like four bolts of lightning on a clear day.
"Ai, what a pity."
Tie Wujin sighed helplessly.
In front of Gu Junru, he did not hide his dejection and weakness.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Why was it so difficult for a small sect to survive in the Celestial World?
"Sect Leader, before the Sword Appreciation Festival ends, young master Mu is still in Flower Language City. Perhaps there is still a chance," Gu Junru could not help but say.
Tie Wujin nodded and was about to say something.
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside.
Chen Yun, the direct disciple of the Sect Leader, rushed in and said angrily, "Sect Leader, bad news, bad news, the spirit fields … the spirit fields have been destroyed."
"What?"
Tie Wujin and Gu Junru exclaimed at the same time.
The Spiritual Field was the lifeblood of the Sword Forging Pavilion.
"What happened?"
Tie Wujin roared angrily. His figure shot out, already rushing in the direction of the spirit fields.
Gu Junru followed closely behind.
The spirit fields were not far from the Sect Leader's Hall. About twenty breaths later, Gu Junru arrived at the ridge of the spirit fields.
Thirty to forty core disciples of Sword Forging Pavilion, as well as hundreds of farming cultivators, were kneeling by the side of the fields, not daring to even raise their heads.
The entire spirit fields echoed with Tie Wujin's angry roar.
"What happened? Who did it? I'm going to pull out its tendons and skin it. "
As the Sect Leader of Sword Forging Pavilion, Tie Wujin had never lost his composure like this.
Gu Junru saw that the celestial millets planted in the spiritual fields had been trampled on. They were either broken or lying on the ground, or uprooted. Some of the ridges had been dug out from the middle, and half of the spiritual soil that had been painstakingly cultivated had been dug out …
Destroyed.
Gu Junru's scalp went numb when she saw this.
Forging swords was a skill that allowed Sword Forging Pavilion to have a certain reputation and build a network of connections.
The spirit fields were their lifeblood. It allowed Sword Forging Pavilion to not wage war against the outside world and not fight for cultivation resources. The immortal food they produced could barely meet the cultivation needs of the sect's cultivators.
With the spirit fields destroyed, half of Sword Forging Pavilion's foundation had collapsed.
What kind of person could be so insane?
The appearance of the spiritual fields made it seem as if someone had deliberately come to destroy them and not to snatch the Celestial Grain. Harming others without benefiting themselves was completely destroying the Sword Forging Pavilion's lifeline.
"Who is it? Speak. Who did it? "
Tie Wujin roared again and again.
Chen Yun said in a low voice, "The farming cultivators and the disciples guarding the spirit fields were all trapped by an illusion array. We did not see the true appearance of the culprit, but … but …" At this point, he began to stutter.
"But what? Hurry up and say it. "Tie Wujin roared.
Chen Yun approached and said in a low voice, "A few disciples vaguely saw that what entered the spirit fields were not human figures, but … two wild beasts that looked like dogs."
What?
Tie Wujin was stunned.
He looked at Chen Yun.
The latter's expression was strange, and his expression flickered.
Tie Wujin opened his mouth to curse, but he suddenly realized something.
Sword Forging Pavilion did not have the habit of raising wild beasts and spirit birds. Wild beasts from the outside had no way of entering such a heavily guarded spirit field. The only possibility was the battle beasts under the esteemed guest, Young Master Mu Mu.
If he remembered correctly, Young Master Mu Mu had a tiger and a dog under his command. Could it be?
Tie Wujin's heart quivered.
If it was really Mu Mu's battle beasts, the problem would be complicated.
Was it Mu Mu's idea?
Or was it the battle beast's idea?
The latter situation was easy to deal with. If it was the former, the matter would not be as simple as the spirit fields being destroyed. If Mu Mu had evil intentions, it would be a disaster for Sword Forging Pavilion.
Thinking of this, cold sweat dripped down Tie Wujin's forehead.
Furthermore, the most important point was that the disciples guarding the spirit fields had only vaguely seen it.
There was no direct evidence.
Tie Wujin's heart was filled with endless sorrow.
Survival was truly difficult.
No matter how he thought about it, he did not dare to directly confront Li Mu and question him. For the time being, he could only swallow his anger and wait to see how Li Mu's purpose was.
"Repair the spiritual fields. Let's salvage as much as we can."
Tie Wujin said with a depressed expression.
"Remember, this matter cannot be spread. If anyone leaks the news, I will destroy their body and soul, never to reincarnate."
His gaze was sharp as he glanced at everyone present and said sternly.
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to meet the Sect Leader's gaze.
"Jun Ru, come with me."
Tie Wujin turned and walked out of the spirit fields.
Gu Jun Ru's expression was a bit blank. Her mind was a mess as she followed.
… …
"What does Mister think of the results of these days?"
The Eighth Prince asked.
Xiao Xiao held his fan and smiled. He said confidently, "The results are obvious. That Mu Mu doesn't care about other people, but he is very respectful to Your Highness. It is obvious that he has a good impression of Your Highness. "
The Eighth Prince nodded and said, "I also think so. Does Mister think that we can recruit this person now?"
Xiao Xiao shook his head and said, "Your Highness, don't be impatient. If we speak now, Mu Mu might nod his head, but I'm afraid that his loyalty is not high. The Sword Appreciation Conference is about to begin. Your Highness should slowly plan to give this person more benefits so that he will feel grateful and voluntarily surrender. At that time, this person will definitely be used by Your Highness and become someone that you can order around without worry. "
Hearing this, the Eighth Prince revealed an expression of understanding and said, "Mister's words are correct. However, what benefits does Mister think should be given to Mu Mu? "
Xiao Xiao smiled faintly and said, "I've observed Mu Mu for the past few days. He isn't lecherous or greedy. He is diligent in his cultivation and is an ambitious person. He is a sword cultivator and is proficient in sword techniques. Why does Your Highness think he came to the Sword Pavilion to participate in the Sword Appreciation Conference with Gu Junru?"
"Ah, I understand now. He came for the Phoenix Cry Godly Sword," the Eighth Prince said.
Xiao Xiao said, "Yes. Many big and small forces have come to the Sword Appreciation Conference, but most of them are just ordinary people. No one can compete with Your Highness for the sword. If that is the case, why don't Your Highness do Mu Mu a favor and give the sword to him? At that time, he will definitely be grateful. Your Highness will succeed. "
The Eighth Prince said, "Mister's words are reasonable. However, this sword … "
He came to the Sword Appreciation Conference for the Phoenix Cry Godly Sword, but not for himself. It was for a girl.
"Your Highness, the bigger picture is more important."
Xiao Xiao reminded him seriously.
The Eighth Prince's expression became serious and said, "Mister is right. I was short-sighted. Alright, we will follow Mister's plan. I am like a fish in water with Mister. I am very fortunate, very fortunate. "
Xiao Xiao hurriedly said, "It is my great fortune to have met Your Highness and to have found a wise ruler."
The two looked at each other and laughed.
