Chapter 178 Master Zhou, Bai Muxue
Last time, he only tampered with the protective array. This time, he dared to directly assassinate the Sword Immortal Pavilion's Great Elder.
This group of Demon people really had frequent movements, and they were extremely daring.
To be able to cause such a commotion, it could be seen that the other party was definitely not weak. Otherwise, how could they hide it from the Sword God?
The Sword God resided high in the Luo Fu Sword Palace and watched over the entire Sword Immortal Pavilion. It was not simple for a disciple to cause trouble under his watch.
Not long after, Zhao Mu followed Ye Chengming to the Vast Star Sacred Ground. In a cave near the Luo Fu Sword Palace, he saw the injured Great Elder Wen Xingluo.
Wen Xingluo's injuries were not serious. He only lost his left arm. The wound on his shoulder showed signs of being corroded by evil energy. His arm could not be regrown in a short period of time.
At this moment, Wen Xingluo's expression was gloomy. There were a few experts with terrifying auras beside him. They were all frowning and discussing something.
Sword God Qu Liu was also here.
Those who lived here were all the upper echelons of the Sword Immortal Pavilion. This was definitely an unimaginable force. However, in terms of tracking down the assassin, they still had to rely on array masters.
Zhao Mu heaved a sigh of relief when he did not see Wen Yan's figure.
He was not afraid of being recognized by Wen Yan, but it was better to avoid trouble.
"Little friend Ye, this is the core of the Vast Star Array. I will temporarily hand it over to you. You must help me find the assassin. Those who dare to play dirty in the Sword Immortal Pavilion's territory will definitely pay a painful price." Sword God Qu Liu took out a ball of light that emitted a resplendent light and handed it over to Ye Chengming.
Wen Xingluo said, "If you find any clues, do not act rashly. That demon's methods are quite strange and powerful. His strength should be at the late stage of Tribulation Passing."
Zhao Mu suddenly asked, "Great Elder, have you seen the appearance of that demon?"
"Who are you?" Only then did Wen Xingluo discover Zhao Mu's existence.
Everyone present was a big shot. Zhao Mu's Soul Formation Realm cultivation was truly inconspicuous. He did not have any sense of existence.
"I am Zhao Mu, a small guest elder of the sword array." Zhao Mu introduced himself.
When Wen Xingluo heard that Zhao Mu was just a small guest elder, he was about to flare up.
But before he could speak, Sword God Qu Liu said, "Zhao's talent is outstanding. It's a small guest elder is too much of a waste of your talent."
"Sword God, you flatter me." Zhao Mu smiled.
Wen Xingluo almost broke out in cold sweat.
He had never seen the Sword God praise a junior in such a way. Not everyone could bear the words' outstanding talent ', especially when the Sword God said it was' outstanding talent '.
Furthermore, this brat was clearly acquainted with the Sword God. He was definitely not as simple as a mere guest elder.
Fortunately, the God of Swords had spoken just now. Otherwise, if he had spoken rashly and accidentally offended Zhao Mu, he might have committed a grave mistake.
The God of Swords probably knew his temper, so he took over the conversation.
"To be able to be appreciated by the Sword God, little brother, you don't seem to be an ordinary person. I wonder if you are married?
I have a good-for-nothing granddaughter in my family. Although her talent is mediocre, her beauty is good. She is still unmarried. If Little Brother is interested, I can set you up. "
Ah, this …
Was there something wrong with the grandfather and granddaughter of the Wen Clan? One wanted to devote herself to him, and the other wanted to matchmake him. Was there a need to be so anxious?
"Ahem, thank you for your kind intentions, Elder Wen. I already have a wife, so I don't have the fortune to be the son-in-law of the Wen family."
"That's a pity."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, everyone began to talk about serious matters. Wen Xingluo also told Ye Chengming about what happened last night in detail.
The assassin was good at hiding and did not reveal himself. The assassination happened in a split second. After succeeding, he did not linger and immediately escaped, not giving Wen Xingluo a chance to counterattack.
If it was an assassination, he would definitely kill Wen Xingluo by hook or by crook.
This kind of assassination was more like a provocation.
"This demon is clearly declaring war on our Sword Immortal Pavilion. This matter cannot be tolerated. We must capture him or else the reputation of our Sword Immortal Pavilion will be affected."
The one who spoke was an old man with an immortal aura and righteous aura.
The old man carried three sharp swords on his back that emitted three colors, green, red, and blue. As the sword light flowed, it seemed to have some charm and was no small matter.
This old man was known as Teacher Zhou and was the second elder of the Sword Immortal Pavilion. He was also a legendary figure. It was said that when he was young, he followed the Sword God Qu Liu and went deep into the Ten Thousand Demon Forest with the Sword God to hunt countless demons. He carried three flying swords on his back that were personally forged with extraterrestrial star stones. Legend has it that if the three swords were unsheathed at the same time, even a Celestial would have to avoid them.
Teacher Zhou abhorred evil. Although he was in his twilight years, when he mentioned the demon, his pair of turbid old eyes still flashed with a cold killing intent. The tri-colored sword on his back buzzed as if it was about to be unsheathed.
"Teacher, the problem we need to worry about now is whether the other party has another goal. In my opinion, whether it is destroying the array or assassinating Elder Wen, it is more like a diversion. The other party might have a bigger plan."
The last one to speak was a mature beauty with quite a charm. Although she exuded a mature and seductive temperament, when she spoke, whether it was her tone or her expression, it was extremely cold. It was quite a contrast.
She was the Third Elder of the Sword Immortal Pavilion, Bai Muxue. This big sister's resume was quite rich. She had only joined the Sword Immortal Pavilion for a short hundred years. Before that, she had joined the Inverted Hanging Mountain, the Formless Nation, and the Medicine God Palace as an Elder. It could be said that other than the Heaven Net Temple that did not accept female disciples, Bai Muxue had already gone through all the sacred grounds of the Human Race.
This kind of behavior of a slave of three surnames, if it were anyone else, they would have long been spurned by others.
However, Bai Muxue was different. Her talent was too powerful. No matter where she went, she would be treated like a treasure.
The reason was very simple. Bai Muxue, other than having a powerful cultivation base at the late-phase of the Ascension Tribulation Realm, was also an elite alchemist and weaponsmith at the same time. Other than that, the cultivation art she created was also widely circulated, and her disciples could be found all over the Immortal Martial Continent. Even in the Ten Thousand Demons Forest, there were quite a number of demonic cultivators.
With Bai Muxue's ability, if she wanted to establish her own sect, it would be a piece of cake. Once she had such an idea, there would definitely be a lot of support.
This woman's connections and resources in the cultivation world were extremely terrifying.
Sword God said, "The problem pointed out by Elder Bai is exactly what I'm worried about. Currently, the enemy is in the open, and we are in the dark. We can't delay any longer."
Ye Chengming said respectfully, "Sword God, don't worry. The divine runes can record everything in the world. I will definitely track down the demon."
"There's no time to lose. Zhao Mu, follow me."
After bidding farewell to Sword God and the three elders, Ye Chengming began to take action with Zhao Mu.
Ye Chengming flew to the top of the Vast Star Sacred Ground and took out the light ball at the core of the formation. From it, he extracted threads made of divine runes and scattered them all over the Vast Star Sacred Ground.
Soon, these divine runes returned to Ye Chengming and gradually condensed, finally forming a miniature version of the Vast Star Sacred Ground.
Zhao Mu was an Eighth Grade Array Master, so he immediately understood Ye Chengming's intention.
He wanted to use the information recorded in the divine runes of heaven and earth to track down the current movement trajectory.
This was indeed a big project. No wonder he needed Zhao Mu as a helper.
