Journey to the Demon Sword Sect

Xu Mu quickened his pace, noticing that a few people had already secretly snuck onto the roof of his villa.

After rushing home, he directly executed the Cloud Step, treading on thin air to land on the roof.

The three people hiding there all looked at Xu Mu in shock.

A middle-aged man's voice rang out, Is that the Cloud Step?

Who are you? Are you here to kill me too?

Xu Mu did not answer their question.

As he spoke, Meng Wanyue, Dai Xingluo, and Tong Guoguo also appeared around the roof.

The middle-aged man hurriedly said, You misunderstand. We were sent by Miss Yan Baizhi to protect you.

Xu Mu used his Divine Eye to check this person's identity.

Name: Wang Zhan

Identity: Fifth Elder of the Yunding Sect

Affection Level: 0

Destiny Level: 2 (Max level 10)

Xu Mu remembered that Yan Baizhi was also from the Yunding Sect, so it made sense.

He was somewhat surprised. This Yan Baizhi was quite a true friend, actually sending people from her sect to protect him.

Senior, please thank Miss Yan for me. However, the matter on my end has already been resolved. Please head back.

Xu Mu said with a smile.

Resolved? Could it be that they have already...

In any case, they won't be attacking us anymore.

Xu Mu smiled and interrupted the other party.

Alright, then I will head back now.

After Wang Zhan finished speaking, he and the few people beside him left together.

Xu Mu and the others also jumped down from the roof and returned inside the villa.

Little Mu, are you alright!

Seeing Xu Mu return, Xu Ningbing walked over quickly and asked.

I'm perfectly fine. I didn't even have to make a move, and those people were gone.

Xu Mu smiled and said, Rest assured, I will go to the Demon Sword Sect first thing tomorrow morning. After taking care of them, we will pay a visit to the Cui family.

[Affection Level +15]

Xu Ningbing nodded gently.

By the way, buy the villa on the other side tomorrow. I plan to carve a large-scale array here. Just my villa and Feng Yue's combined is still a bit too small.

Xu Mu suddenly said.

Okay.

Xu Ningbing nodded.

...

Early the next morning.

Xu Mu woke up early. Before heading to the Demon Sword Sect, he needed to give Chen Xuan a call.

No matter what, the sect master of the Demon Sword Sect had some ties with Chen Xuan's master.

As his good friend, Xu Mu definitely needed to inform him before moving against the Demon Sword Sect.

Brother Mu, what's up so early in the morning? Don't tell me there's another new ruin?

Chen Xuan chuckled over the phone.

It has nothing to do with ruins.

Sitting on the sofa, Xu Mu gave him a rough rundown of the situation.

Understood. Don't worry, my master isn't that close to him. You can understand it as him marrying his daughter to me just to curry favor with my master.

Chen Xuan said from the other end.

Alright, with your words, I can rest easy.

Xu Mu paused for a moment and added, As long as he gives up on pursuing this, I definitely won't do anything either. But if he is overly aggressive, I don't mind teaching him a lesson.

I won't be going to the Demon Sword Sect this time. Regardless, my master and he are still acquaintances.

Chen Xuan said over the phone.

Okay.

After hanging up, Xu Mu sent a message to Song Nuanyang.

It is always better to be cautious. Although Tong Guoguo could handle Xia Chuan, what if the guy had advanced in the past few years?

Therefore, Xu Mu planned to call another Transcendent Realm expert.

Since he had helped Song Nuanyang advance to the Transcendent Realm, he had to put her to use, or else it would have been a waste of effort.

It wasn't long before Song Nuanyang appeared at his front door.

Today, she was wearing casual sportswear that was easy to move around in. She had wheat-colored skin, long black hair, and long eyelashes that fluttered slightly like fans.

The first impression Song Nuanyang gave was sexiness.

Xu Mu!

Song Nuanyang smiled, revealing her white teeth.

[Affection Level +10]

Since everyone is here, let's set off together.

Xu Mu said to the few people beside him.

Oh my! What rank does this sister hold in your heart, big brother?

Dai Xingluo flashed a friendly smile upon seeing yet another woman appear.

Tong Guoguo also crossed her arms and shot a flat glance at Xu Mu. What was the deal with this bastard?

Why were almost all the experts he knew women?

And beautiful women at that.

You misunderstand, Xu Mu and I don't have that kind of relationship.

Song Nuanyang explained.

As an older, mature woman, she was mentally very mature. She couldn't be bothered to fight over a man with these little girls.

I used to not have that kind of relationship with big brother either, but now I do.

Dai Xingluo hugged Xu Mu's arm.

Alright, let's head out first.

Xu Mu looked at Liang Yi at the entrance of the villa. Just wait in the villa. If the higher-ups ask you about the situation, just make something up.

I know.

Liang Yi nodded.

...

Xu Mu first drove to the Xu family manor, then piloted a helicopter toward the Demon Sword Sect.

Part of the reason why Dai Xingluo's Heavenly Sword Sect was mortal enemies with the Demon Sword Sect was that their territories were very close to each other.

The Heavenly Sword Sect was in Jiangnan, while the Demon Sword Sect was in Wannan.

Following the address provided by Dai Xingluo, Xu Mu headed toward their destination for this trip.

The Demon Sword Sect was located in a place called Qian County. Just like before, Xu Mu parked the helicopter on the roof of a hotel.

After going downstairs, he casually handed over a thousand bucks and left with the rest of the group.

Under Dai Xingluo's lead, they headed toward the mountain peaks just outside the county town.

At the very top of the mountain sat a massive manor. According to Dai Xingluo, this was the entrance to the Demon Sword Sect.

When they arrived at the manor's main gates, several men dressed in security uniforms blocked their path.

Xu Mu briefly scanned them with his Eye of God and confirmed that they were indeed disciples of the Demon Sword Sect.

"This is private property. No trespassing," the leading middle-aged man declared.

"I am looking for the sect master of your Demon Sword Sect," Xu Mu said calmly. "Just tell him that I am the one who killed the Great Elder's grandson."

"What?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man stumbled back a few steps in shock. He immediately turned around and sprinted toward the entrance of the ruins inside the manor.

The group waited there for a few minutes before the man returned.

"Follow me."

"Thanks." Xu Mu looked back at the four people beside him. "Let's go."

The group followed the middle-aged man to an ancestral hall inside the manor.

In the center of the hall stood a blank stone stele, which served as the entrance to the ruins.

One by one, they placed their hands on the stone, injected their Qi into it, and stepped inside.

In the blink of an eye, they found themselves transported to a mountain forest.

Just ahead of them, a giant sword over ten meters tall was plunged straight into the ground.

In front of the massive sword sat a cauldron, with wisps of green smoke still curling up from within.

The moment Xu Mu and his companions appeared, they were surrounded by a large crowd.

He surveyed his surroundings, his gaze eventually landing on a long-haired, middle-aged man clad in black armor.

The man had a burly build and a strong, square jawline.

Xu Mu recognized him from a previous video call with Xia Sihan. This was Xia Chuan, the Sect Master of the Demon Sword Sect.

"You killed members of our Demon Sword Sect. Even if you come here on your own initiative to beg for mercy, I will not let you off."

Xia Chuan stared at Xu Mu with an icy expression.
