Chapter 102

Chen Mu’s eyes turned cold, his figure flickered, and he rushed toward the southeast.

The person fleeing low across the ground ran straight toward the southeast.

Shoo!

"Cloud-Treading Steps" was performed to the extreme, one step a hundred zhang.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Chen Mu stopped when he took the ninth step.

Two steps in front of him, a river about five meters wide flowed from north to south, winding and endless.

The person fleeing low across the ground had jumped into the water two breaths ago!

Once in the water, both the "Listening to the Wind" skill and the "Heavenly Wolf Smelling the Moon" became useless.

"..."

The river flowed endlessly, heading toward the distance and entering the mountain forest.

He couldn’t track them anymore!

"Whoosh~"

Taking a deep breath, Chen Mu turned and left.

The news would probably leak out.

Just right, Chen Mu also wanted to leave Nanyun Prefecture.

Sun Jindong was dead, his mind was clear, and he could go to other provinces to take up the post of Inspector!

Of course, monitoring the Martial Suppression Division of a prefecture was just incidental.

Finding all the "Sword Equipment" scattered in various places was the main goal!

The "Heaven River Sword Canon" left by the "Heaven River Sword Venerable" pointed out the direction of the "Sword Equipment."

As long as he collected all the "Sword Equipment," even if it were Fang Yuanfu in his prime, Chen Mu could kill him head-on!

"The 'Heaven River Formula' was transmitted by Fang Yuanfu through true qi; the lurking person shouldn’t know."

"If this person doesn’t recognize Heaven River true qi, then they wouldn’t know that the 'Heaven River Sword Canon' is on me!"

Chen Mu pondered while walking.

Compared to the revenge of the Hannan Fang family, the exposure of the "Heaven River Sword Canon" was the real trouble.

Chen Mu, at the second stage of the Innate Realm, possessing a peerless true art, if this news spread, it would be no different from a child carrying gold through a bustling market.

Countless people would come forward one after another to hunt and encircle him!

Of course.

If it were really exposed, the solution would be simple.

Hand over the "Heaven River Sword Canon" to Zhao Fuzhou.

Chen Mu had figured out Zhao Fuzhou’s background through the "Hero Building."

Central Province Dragon Court, Martial Suppression Division headquarters, one of the five Pacification Envoys, a Myriad Phenomena Realm expert!

Offering the "Heaven River Sword Canon" to obtain the protection of a Myriad Phenomena Realm expert was enough.

But if he really did that, the "Sword Equipment" and "Sword Soul" left by the "Heaven River Sword Venerable" would not be obtainable.

Zhao Fuzhou’s master was an old monster who had lived for nearly four hundred years and was a figure from the same era as the "Heaven River Sword Venerable."

Even if he wasn’t familiar with the "Heaven River Sword Venerable," he must have heard of him.

How could he not know the peerless arts and skills of the "Heaven River Sword Venerable"?

"Whoosh~~"

Deep breathing, stabilizing his emotions, Chen Mu calmed his heart.

Thinking too much was useless; a normal heart was enough.

One step a hundred zhang, he returned to the place where Fang Yuanfu died, searched the corpse, and obtained a bamboo piece and several silver notes.

The bamboo piece was very magical, glowing, and had a springy feel to the touch.

"Unity Bamboo?"

Chen Mu thought of a communication tool.

The Great Zhou world, with nineteen provinces in total, was too large.

With such a large territory, communication was the key to the imperial court’s stability.

The strange object "Unity Bamboo" was one such tool.

This kind of bamboo is cut into pieces and scattered; as long as it is within a thousand-mile range, it can be triggered by true qi to leave messages on it, allowing text information to be received by each other.

There is also a strange object called "Sound Transmission Stone," which can be used to communicate within a five-hundred-mile range by stimulating it with true qi.

The highest-level communication tool is a specially refined treasure called "Ten Thousand Mile Heaven-Reaching Mirror."

Ten thousand miles apart, video conversation!

This "Unity Bamboo" on Fang Yuanfu was clearly a communication tool for the Fang family disciples.

It wasn’t the same bamboo, so it was useless for Chen Mu, and he crushed it directly.

As for the cards, they had already been picked up.

A new card, Soul-Enhancing Card!

As the name suggests, using this card can increase spiritual power!

Chen Mu took it out and used it directly; the card first turned into a stream of light and then disappeared into his brow.

The next moment, a cool and refreshing feeling surged into his heart and lingered in his mind.

His entire soul seemed to have been nourished in an instant.

Chen Mu couldn’t describe exactly how much it increased, but it had improved by a large margin!

"Not bad."

Feeling the strengthening of his soul, Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction.

This Soul-Enhancing Card was undoubtedly more effective than the True Qi Card!

The curly-haired man who followed Fang Yuanfu, the card Chen Mu picked up from his corpse, was also a True Qi Card, eight and a half months of true qi.

However, this guy’s sword was very good, a low-grade spirit weapon.

And the man who rescued Sun Jindong earlier also had a flame sword that was a low-grade spirit weapon.

Chen Mu naturally wouldn’t let go of these spoils of war.

Returning, he checked the corpses one by one, obtaining silver notes, pills, several jade plaques, a short blade, and many flying darts.

He left only the corpses, letting them be dealt with by wild beasts at night.

Changed his clothes and returned to Nanyun Prefecture City.

Chen Mu wrote a letter and had his subordinates send it to the Martial Suppression Division in the inner city to Zhao Fuzhou.

The content of the letter was very simple, hoping that Zhao Fuzhou would take over the "Big Blade Gang."

Chen Mu was leaving, so the identity of "Guan Tong" naturally had to be canceled.

The "Big Blade Gang" unified the East District; if left alone, it would inevitably become chaotic again, causing countless deaths and injuries and harming the innocent.

If the Martial Suppression Division took over, it would avoid disaster.

The letter was sent.

Chen Mu went home to pack some things, then quickly left the city and headed for "Tyrant Sword Mountain."

Di Chunlei had mentioned the skeleton of the "Heaven River Sword Venerable," which had been scattered and discarded in the corner of the cave.

Since he had obtained the "Heaven River Sword Canon" and it pointed to the "Sword Equipment," the "Heaven River Sword Venerable" was practically his master.

Chen Mu was now the successor of the "Heaven River Sword Venerable"!

It was necessary to bury the skeleton of the "Heaven River Sword Venerable."

The only concern was that there were people lurking inside and outside the cave at the foot of "Tyrant Sword Mountain."

Shi Kuangsheng, Wei Dongliang, and Huang Keqin hadn’t left Nanyun yet.

This was indeed the case.

When Chen Mu arrived at "Tyrant Sword Mountain," he discovered three groups of people lurking near the cave.

Among them, there were six Innate martial artists.

Forcibly breaking into the cave was clearly not an option.

"...Got it!"

After a little thought, Chen Mu had an idea.

He took out an Invisibility Card and used it!

An invisible light film covered his whole body, and Chen Mu suddenly "disappeared."

At the foot of "Tyrant Sword Mountain," the mountain wind blew.

Chen Mu’s figure moved, blending into the mountain wind, and floated into the empty cave.

He found the silver-white skeleton of the "Heaven River Sword Venerable," grabbed it from a distance, and put it into his palm space.

The whole process was silent.

Leaving was the same; he followed the mountain wind and floated away.

Maintaining the invisible state, Chen Mu moved away from "Tyrant Sword Mountain" and reappeared.

He didn’t rush to find a place to dig a hole.

Carrying the skeleton of the "Heaven River Sword Venerable," Chen Mu headed east and left Nanyun Prefecture.

Once the news of Sun Jindong and Fang Yuanfu being killed spread, it would be difficult to leave.

However.

Strangely, Chen Mu walked quickly for three days, completely walking out of the territory of Nanyun Prefecture, and didn’t find anyone chasing him.

"What’s going on?"
