Chapter 928 News about the Phoenix Clan

Quiet~

Deathly silence.

Most of the people at the scene were stunned by what they saw, their jaws agape.

This is truly a case of overwhelming force with sheer power.

For a pure swordsman, relentless attack is the best defense, but clearly, the so-called sword and shield could not withstand Zhao Mu's heavy spear.

Unlike body cultivators who possess powerful physical bodies, Qiu Zhi, a sword cultivator, has already had her shoulder blade pierced by a heavy spear.

This was Zhao Mu's intention; otherwise, this move would have only worsened his injuries.

At the same time, Zhao Mu was not without injuries either; he had also been stabbed twice in the back.

But clearly, given his physically strong physique, his injuries were not serious.

Because at the last moment, Qiu Zhi withdrew more of her strength in an attempt to withstand Zhao Mu's heavy spear, the killing power of the two flying swords was extremely limited, merely causing minor cuts and lacerations.

Its powerful physique has a remarkable ability to recover. In just a few breaths, the wounds had already scabbed over, and it's estimated that these gruesome-looking wounds will be completely healed in less than a quarter of an hour.

"I... lost!"

Qiu Zhi sighed deeply.

"you're good!"

Zhao Mu sheathed his heavy spear and gave a very positive assessment; he wasn't just saying it for show, but speaking from the heart.

Qiu Zhi's strength is even a level above Qiu Yuan's; I've truly broadened my horizons this time.

If these two are already so powerful, then Lin Yang from the main peak...

Zhao Mu suddenly felt a sense of anticipation and couldn't wait to fight Lin Yang.

"Old man Qiu, where's the stuff? Hand it over!"

Seeing that the Qiu family patriarch did not react for a long time, the Youlan patriarch directly reached out to ask for it.

"Since I have lost, I will naturally not break my promise, but I need to make this matter clear to this young man."

The Qiu family patriarch's gaze fell on Zhao Mu, and he said calmly, "First of all, let me make one thing clear: I will not admit my mistake for what happened before, and I do not think I was wrong."

"Put yourself in Ji Yiyuan's shoes. When Ji Yiyuan offers enough incentives and personally comes to us seeking cooperation, while my Hunyuan Taiqing Palace only asks an unknown disciple to make a small contribution, what would you choose?"

"Of course, I'm not trying to defend myself, I just want to tell you that the choices you make will be completely different depending on your position."

"Furthermore, young people should not hide their talents too much. They should show their true abilities like they did today, let their fellow disciples know who they are, and let the sect's higher-ups notice that there is such a talented young man as you."

"If it had been any one of Lin Yang, Qiu Yuan, or Qiu Zhi back then, the sect would not have made a decision without consulting the person involved."

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Zhao Mu wasn't stupid; he naturally understood what the Qiu family patriarch meant.

The weak have no right to sit at the poker table.

If you want autonomy, you have to show us your value.

The logic is simple, but also ruthless.

"That's right."

Zhao Mu nodded at first, but then retorted, "However, I still stand by my opinion. Things change every thirty years, so how can you know that they won't be valuable in the future?"

"Just like me right now, I'm beating you all down one by one."

"If you had respected me a little back then, would things have come to this?"

"Only when the sect respects its disciples will the disciples love and respect the sect and make contributions to it."

After saying this, Zhao Mu didn't wait for the Qiu family patriarch's response and followed Patriarch Youlan towards the main peak.

Watching Zhao Mu and the others leave, and pondering his words several times, the Qiu family patriarch suddenly smiled and murmured, "Interesting. Today, I was actually taught a lesson by a junior."

"Ancestor, we have disgraced the Qiu family."

Qiu Yuan and Qiu Zhi bowed slightly to the Qiu family patriarch, their faces overflowing with apology.

"Losing a match is nothing to be ashamed of. Over the years, I've fought Yan Wenxing at least eighty or a hundred times, and I've never felt ashamed when I lost."

"You must learn a lot from this battle and improve yourselves."

"This kid named Zhao Mu is not simple."

The Qiu family patriarch squinted, clearly somewhat envious of this promising talent.

"Ancestor, do you think Zhao Mu can defeat Lin Yang?"

Qiu Yuan asked out of curiosity. He had never fought with that madman Lin Yang, but the pressure Zhao Mu exerted on him was terrifying, the kind that was impossible to resist.

"Lin Yang left Hunyuan Taiqing Palace a year ago to seek an opportunity to advance to the Yin-Yang Realm, so these two have no chance of meeting."

"Moreover, given how things have developed, the sect leader won't send anyone to obstruct things anymore. He's already in the wrong, and Zhao Mu has already demonstrated enough strength, so he'll probably offer sufficient compensation as soon as they meet."

Just as the Qiu family patriarch said, when Zhao Mu followed the Youlan patriarch to the central main peak, he did not see Lin Yang.

Only the sect leader, Pei Lan, saw them.

He was tall and slender, dressed in a green robe, with a few silver strands mixed in with his black hair. He had an approachable appearance, but as for his cultivation level...

He was completely imperceptible, just like an ordinary middle-aged man.

"Zhao Mu, what happened back then was indeed something I, as the sect leader, did inappropriately. I should have informed you beforehand. At the time, I thought that as a man, you wouldn't lose out in this kind of thing, and with your senior uncle present, nothing would go wrong, so I readily agreed."

"However, I neglected your feelings. The contents of this Qiankun Ring are my compensation to you. What do you think?"

Zhao Mu was somewhat stunned.

Because Pei Lan's attitude was unusually good, he asked, "Sect Master, where is Senior Brother Lin Yang?"

"Let's stop fighting. There's no need. You've already proven your strength to everyone."

"Furthermore, Lin Yang is not in the sect. He left the sect a year ago to seek an opportunity to break through to the Yin-Yang Realm."

Zhao Mu turned his head and glanced at Ancestor Youlan.

"Lin Yang left the sect? How come I didn't know?"

Youlan faced Pei Lan directly.

"Lin Yang has offended too many people outside. He's ranked high on the bounty lists of various assassin organizations. This is a smokescreen I deliberately put out. There are very few people in the entire sect who know he left."

After offering a casual explanation, Pei Lan turned to Zhao Mu and asked, "I heard you've been searching for the Phoenix Clan's location?"

"Does the sect leader know?"

Zhao Mu was quite excited.

Although he now knows that the Phoenix Clan is located on Wutong Mountain deep in the Endless Sea, he still doesn't know how to get there.

"I can only provide you with some clues; you'll have to find out the specifics yourself."

"Please enlighten me, Sect Master."

“Not only the Phoenix Clan, but also the Dragon Clan and other races that migrated as a whole in earlier years have not completely severed ties with the Kunwu Continent. Some of their clansmen still travel on the Kunwu Continent.”

"Where are these Phoenix Clan members?"

"Three years from now, in Full Moon City of Wuzhou, the Seven Swords Sect will hold a grand event. All people under the age of fifty will be invited. The prize for first place is a piece of Immortal Phoenix Gold. This item will surely attract the Phoenix Clan. At that time, you will have to make your own judgment."
