Chapter 92: Come Out!

Of course.

Before leaving Nan Yun, we must deal with Sun Jindong!

As long as Sun Jindong lives, I won't sleep soundly at night.

The gap between the two of them has now shrunk to just two minor realms.

Under ambush, Chen Mu has a seventy percent chance of killing Sun Jindong.

But…

Seventy percent isn't enough!

Chen Mu wants a hundred percent certainty.

Chen Mu also learned about Sun Jindong's backer from Zhao Fuzhou's mouth.

Tianxia Hui!

This powerful force, founded barely over a hundred years ago, arrived in Nan Yun alongside the Fang family.

Upon entering Nan Yun, they moved straight into Sifang Martial Hall.

Their leader, Wei Dongliang, is the July Abbot of the Twelve Monthly Altars of Tianxia Hui—a Land Realm powerhouse!

Sun Jindong's status is somewhat troublesome.

Thanks to a Divine Strength Card, Huang Feiyang was discovered by Di Di Chunlei and Qian Yu, who took him as their disciple on behalf of their master, joining the "Juli Zong."

This removed Chen Mu's worries.

Huang Feiyang and Miao Xiuxiu's belongings have already been packed.

They will only depart for "Juli Zong" with Di Di Chunlei and Qian Yu after the Chu Yunchang incident ends.

At that time, Chen Mu will find an opportunity to kill Sun Jindong!

…

…

For three days, all gangs in the outer city and every major family and martial hall in the inner city searched the entire city and surrounding areas—but found not a trace of Chu Yunchang.

Had it not been for the Fang family relentlessly chasing Chu Yunchang into Nan Yun, even they would have suspected he had fled or died.

Now he can't be found…

"There's only one explanation."

In the outer city's eastern district, at the External Affairs Hall's outpost, Di Di Chunlei held two large apples, crunching them as he spoke, "Chu Yunchang has been hidden! The one hiding him has considerable power in Nan Yun!"

"Correct. Chu Yunchang didn't run anywhere else—he came specifically to Nan Yun, meaning someone here knows him intimately," Qian Yu added. "The person helping him hide has enough loyalty to stand firm against Tianxia Hui and Jiuyou Sect."

"That…."

Chen Mu pondered, "Senior Brother Di, Senior Sister Qian, could Chu Yunchang already be dead—killed by the very person he sought refuge with, just to seize the Xuan Weapon?"

"If Chu Yunchang is dead, his body burned, and the Xuan Weapon hidden, even if Tianxia Hui, Jiuyou Sect, and the Fang family scour Nan Yun down to the last inch, they'll never find him."

Qian Yu froze upon hearing this.

Di Di Chunlei also stopped chewing, his face filled with surprise. "Chen Xiao Ge, your hypothesis might actually be true. The temptation of an Xuan Weapon is extraordinary. Even across the entire Hengzhou, few could resist it."

"The Sword Casting Villa has already been wiped out by the Fang family—killing Chu Yunchang leaves them with zero consequences!"

"If that's true, wouldn't the Fang family, Tianxia Hui, and Jiuyou Sect all be left with empty joy?" Qian Yu breathed deeply, astonished. "An Xuan Weapon isn't a Di Weapon—it can be hidden for decades without being discovered."

Di Weapons are powerful weapons above Xuan Weapons, possessing their own sentient spirits!

All major forces in the Da Zhou realm with a thousand-year heritage possess Di Weapons.

Such beings, Chen Mu had never seen.

Hearing Qian Yu mention it, he couldn't help asking, "Are Di Weapons hard to hide?"

"Not hard—they're impossible to hide!"

Di Di Chunlei explained, "Di Weapons naturally absorb heavenly and earthly energy; they shake and purify themselves every three to ten years, triggering massive disturbances."

"For example, the 'Rising Sun Sword' of the 'Bai Jianmen' vibrates every three years—each vibration offers Bai Jianmen disciples their best chance to comprehend sword Dao."

"The Bai Jianmen essentially exists because of the 'Rising Sun Sword'!"

"I see," Chen Mu realized.

Bai Jianmen. Bai Jianmen.

So "Bai Jian" means bowing to a Di Weapon—the Rising Sun Sword!

"Master! We found him!"

Suddenly, a gang member sprinted into the gate, "Report, Master! We found him!"

"Found him?"

Di Di Chunlei stood up first, staring at the messenger, his voice deep. "Did we find Chu Yunchang? Where is he?"

"It's… it's Chu Yunchang."

The reporting gang member swallowed hard. "He's been discovered hiding in 'Ba Jianmen.' Sifang Martial Hall's forces are already heading outside the city."

"Chu Yunchang is on 'Ba Jian Mountain'?" Chen Mu said quickly.

"Yes!"

"Let's go watch the spectacle at 'Ba Jian Mountain.'"

Di Di Chunlei smiled broadly and strode toward the door.

Qian Yu followed right behind.

"Senior Brother Di, Senior Sister Qian, go ahead—I'll follow shortly."

Chen Mu walked as he spoke, "'Ba Jian Mountain' lies less than ten li northeast of the city. Walk there and you'll see it—a towering peak shaped like a giant sword."

"Good."

Di Di Chunlei didn't ask further, raised his hand, and stepped out the door.

Chen Mu left the house and headed for the inner city.

He rushed into the Zhenwu Bureau and found Zhao Fuzhou.

"Brother Zhao, we found Chu Yunchang—he's at Ba Jianmen!"

"Go!" Zhao Fuzhou didn't hesitate; he tapped his toe, stepped out of the room, and soared into the air.

Shhh~ Shhh~

Chen Mu followed close behind, leaping onto the wall, running across rooftops, and speeding toward the city's edge.

At the city gate, he saw Shi Kuangsheng of Ba Jianmen and Huang Keqin of Jiuyou Sect, each leading a group, sprinting toward Ba Jian Shan.

All three groups saw each other.

But along the way, none of them spoke.

When they arrived at the gate of Ba Jian Shan at top speed, a thunderous explosion erupted.

Boom~!

The deafening sound echoed across the mountain peak.

Amidst a storm of shattered rocks and dust, a cold voice rang out across the entire mountain.

"Where is Chu Yunchang? Make him come out!"

Swoosh~ Swoosh~ Swoosh~

The sound of wind tearing through air kept coming.

Chen Mu followed Zhao Fuzhou up Ba Jian Shan, entered Ba Jianmen's compound, and stopped atop a tree.

Shi Kuangsheng, Huang Keqin, and the others also entered the compound, standing on walls or rooftops.

All eyes turned to the three groups on the training ground.

One group was naturally Ba Jianmen's people, tense and facing off under their sect master, Lu Haidong.

The other two groups: one was from the Fang family, led by two young men with identical faces.

The other, unsurprisingly, was from Tianxia Hui—among them were disciples from the Four Squares Martial Hall; Chen Mu scanned the crowd, spotted Sun Jindong, and the man standing before him, whose aura stood out.

Tianxia Hui, July Altar Master, Wei Dongliang?

"Young Master, we have never seen or known this 'Chu Yunchang'—how could we possibly make him come out?"

Lu Haidong, under the scrutiny of all eyes, clenched his teeth and glared, "Could there be some misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding?"

Fang Yuanzuo let out a cold shout, and as his words fell, he suddenly struck out with a palm.

Hu~

The palm wind howled, instantly forming a dark-blue palm imprint that pierced the air and slammed toward Lu Haidong.

Bang!
