"What! The two of you aren't going with us to the Li Province Sword Academy? " Zhou Jin's eyes widened as he stared at Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng. His voice was like a machine gun as he said, "Haven't you already decided? Moreover, your cultivations have already reached 10th stage. If you want to improve faster and become stronger, entering the Li Province Sword Academy is the most direct and correct choice. "
"Uh … Senior Brother Zhou, Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng's intentions are not to enter the Li Province Sword Academy to cultivate, but rather, they are not going with us. They plan to go to the Li Province Sword Academy by themselves." Li Yi explained after Zhou Jin stopped.
"What!" Zhou Jin's eyes widened again. "You're not going with us? No, absolutely not. You have to know that the outside world is not as safe as the Sword Sect. The slightest accident can lead to death. Both of you have high hopes placed on you. Nothing must happen to you. Therefore, it's safer for you to travel with us. "
"Senior Brother, thank you for your kind intentions. However, I insist on my choice." Chu Mu indifferently said. His tone had an unquestionable and unshakable firmness. Although Xiao Qianfeng didn't say anything, his eyes and expression all revealed an unstoppable sharpness.
"Any powerful swordsman has to experience various successes and failures. Zhou Jin, there's no need to say anything more." Seeing Zhou Jin's anxious expression, Luo Yufeng interrupted with a faint smile on his face. His eyes seemed to be deep in thought as he continued, "Junior Brother Chu and Junior Brother Xiao have made their own choices. They are also very clear about their choices. Then, Junior Brothers, let's meet at the Li Province Sword Academy."
"Okay." Chu Mu replied softly. Xiao Qianfeng nodded imperceptibly.
Li Yi and the others looked at Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng with envy. They secretly admired them for making such a choice. Although they were itching to make a move, they knew that it would not be an easy journey to the Li Province Sword Academy. Traveling together with Luo Yufeng and Zhou Jin was the best choice.
"Junior Brother Chu, Junior Brother Xiao, let's meet again at the Li State Sword Academy." Li Yi cupped his hands in salute and smiled.
Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng also returned the greeting.
"Let's go." As Luo Yufeng spoke, he quickly turned around and left. Zhou Jin glanced at Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he rolled his eyes and let out a light sigh before turning around and leaving as well.
Li Yi and the others also put on their backpacks and brought along their Hundred Refined Swords. They waved their hands at Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng before leaving with Luo Yufeng and the others. Luo Yuling walked behind Luo Yufeng, but she kept looking back.
"Sigh …" Luo Yufeng naturally saw Luo Yuling's expression and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Although she had only known Chu Mu for a short period of time, she could feel that Chu Mu was a true swordsman. There was only the sword in his heart. He didn't care about romantic feelings, at least for now. No one knew what would happen in the future. But this determined that Luo Yuling's love for Chu Mu could only be one-sided. It was destined to come to a sad end.
But Luo Yufeng didn't plan to say anything. He would let nature take its course. He deeply understood that only by experiencing some things, success and failure, would one be able to truly understand and grow.
…
"Senior Brother …" Li Wei's eyes reddened. Her clear eyes that rippled like water were filled with reluctance. Her small hand tightly grasped the backpack prepared for Chu Mu.
"You're already at Stage 7 and can become an inner disciple of the Main Palace. Cultivate well in the future and strive to become an elite disciple." Chu Mu comforted.
"Yes, Senior Brother. I'll definitely work hard in my cultivation." Li Wei pursed her lips. Her small face was filled with determination. She forcefully nodded her head and passed the backpack in her hands to Chu Mu. She didn't know where Chu Mu was going. She only had a feeling that this separation might be a very long time. Perhaps it would be forever.
After receiving the backpack, Chu Mu put it on his back. There was also a fake Fire Python Sword on his back. His left hand held the fake Clear Wind Sword and his right hand patted Li Wei's head. A trace of doting flashed in his eyes. This kind of feeling was just like how an older brother would treat his younger sister.
Subsequently, under Li Wei's reluctant gaze, Chu Mu turned around and walked away. He cut off the last trace of reluctance in his heart and walked away in large strides. All that was left was a figure that was gradually walking further and further away. It filled the world and was reflected in Li Wei's pupils as if it was branded into eternity.
Together with Xiao Qianfeng, they bid farewell to the sect master, the three monastery heads and the various elders in the main hall. After that, they left the Azure Edge Sword Sect in a low-key manner. They walked out of the Azure Edge Sword Sect's mountain gate and headed down the mountain.
Only the sect master and the others knew about their departure. As for the other disciples, although they were very curious, they had no way of knowing. They could only secretly guess, just like every other time.
Within the Green Edge Sword Sect, there was a tree that was over two meters tall in a relatively remote area not far from the main gate of the sect. Beside it stood a petite figure dressed in snow-white robes. Her beautiful face was filled with reluctance to part. Her pair of beautiful eyes stared unblinkingly at Chu Mu's departing figure. Her eyes were filled with reluctance to part. Her pure white teeth lightly bit her rosy lips, stopping the words that were about to rush out of her mouth. She waited until Chu Mu's figure disappeared from her sight.
"Senior Brother Chu, I will also work hard to cultivate and reach the tenth stage of the Sword Qi Realm as soon as possible. When that time comes, I will go to the Lizhou Sword Academy to look for you. I will boldly confide in you …" Her voice was soft and gentle.
A gentle mountain breeze blew gently, carrying this murmur to the distance, to the sky, to the earth, and perhaps to the ears of the person she loved.
…
In a courtyard of the Azure Edge Sword Sect.
"Elder, according to the news from the spies, Li Yi and the others from the Azure Edge Sword Sect are leaving the mountain through the Azure Edge Town. There are a total of six people." A disciple of the Azure Edge Sword Sect saluted to Elder Yao Ri and said, "Among the six of them, there are two unfamiliar faces. They are suspected to be the former Senior Brother Luo Yufeng and Second Senior Brother Zhou Jin. In addition, Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng have teamed up and are heading in another direction. "
"Luo Yufeng … Chu Mu …" Elder Yao Ri heard and fell into deep thought. His eyes flashed with a deep light. "Azure Edge Sword Sect, you are indeed very lucky this time. In the trip to the Azure Edge Void Realm, there are actually six disciples who have left alive. It seems that this time, at least four of these disciples have broken through to the early stage of the tenth stage and were taken by Luo Yufeng to the Lizhou Sword Academy to cultivate. This time, all of the disciples of the Azure Edge Sword Sect died in the Azure Edge Void Realm. None of them came out alive. Otherwise, there would be people who were taken by Wei Hong to the Lizhou Sword Academy. "
Thinking of this, Elder Yao Ri's eyes flashed with a strong murderous intent. His whole body surged with a strong murderous intent, causing the disciple's expression to change drastically. It was as if he was in a furnace, sweating profusely and his skin turned red. He had no choice but to retreat.
"Go and ask Deacon Liu to come over. Tell him that I have something important to discuss with him." Elder Yao Ri restrained his murderous intent and looked at the disciple coldly.
"Yes, Elder." The disciple felt as if he had been pardoned. After saluting with his sword, he hurriedly turned and left. In front of Elder Yao Ri, he was too depressed.
"With the talent of Li Yi and the others, even if they enter the Lizhou Sword Academy, they won't be able to make any waves. I'll write a letter to the Lizhou Sword Academy and ask the disciples in the academy to take good care of them." Elder Yao Ri seemed to be talking to himself. "However, Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng must die. Especially Chu Mu, he must die. He must die."
There was no such thing as an airtight wall in the world. The situation at the Qingfeng Sword Sect's Sword Battle Festival had already been known by the Azure Edge Sword Sect and the Qingshui Sword Sect. Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng had also entered the eyes of the upper echelons of the two sects and were paid more attention.
"It just so happens that Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng are traveling together. It seems that they haven't broken through to the tenth stage yet, so they plan to go out and gain experience." Traces of murderous intent flowed in Elder Yao Ri's eyes. He laughed coldly. "My Sword Qi Art has reached a bottleneck and is on the verge of a breakthrough. It's very unstable and not suitable for me to fight. However, it's enough to have Deacon Liu fight. They're just two ants in the Sword Qi Realm. Even if they break through to the tenth stage, they won't be a match for someone in the Qi Transformation Realm. "
"Hahahaha … If the Qingfeng Sword Sect knows that Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng are dead, I wonder how exciting it will be. Yes, in order to prevent the Qingfeng Sword Sect from acting out of desperation, I have to strictly order Deacon Liu to remove all traces after killing them and not leave any evidence behind. "
