Chapter 371: Why Did You Come for Me?

"This Cangjian Villa is somewhat interesting!"

Standing at the summit of Luoxiao Peak on Baizang Mountain, Shen Yu swept his perception across the surroundings, but discovered absolutely nothing unusual.

Yet, from Yu Renqing's mouth, he had learned the location of Cangjian Villa, saying it was right here. But this place was completely empty; there was nothing at all.

Although Yu Renqing harbored the Sword Intent of Mu Zishan within his body, he himself was merely a junior; it only took a trivial Illusion Technique to easily extract any information from his mouth.

From what he said, Cangjian Villa should be right here, and it was protected by an Array left behind by Mu Zishan.

Mu Zishan was truly extraordinary; no matter how Shen Yu tried, he simply could not find the location of Cangjian Villa. Just this feat alone was impressive!

Using the special footwork, incantations, and Qi-circulation paths obtained from Yu Renqing's mouth, he walked through specific positions. Soon, Shen Yu felt a suction force suddenly arrive, as if it wanted to pull him inside.

Throughout the entire process, he did not resist, letting himself be taken in.

But once Shen Yu fell into it, he did not immediately appear inside Cangjian Villa; instead, he was surrounded by a special Array.

In other words, even following the method given by those two people from Cangjian Villa, it was impossible to enter Cangjian Villa directly; instead, one would fall into the Array they had set up. This was a case of delivering oneself to their doorstep.

The people of Cangjian Villa clearly had not told Yu Renqing the whole truth; it was obvious they were guarding against him. Once he entered the Array, his Life and Death would be in the hands of others.

At a single glance, Shen Yu could determine that the Array before him was quite good. This was also the place where Mu Zishan took flight, so it must have been infused with no small amount of his painstaking effort.

In the past, Mu Zishan was merely a scholar. It was precisely because he accidentally stumbled into Cangjian Villa that he arrived there. Seeing that he was a weak scholar, the people of Cangjian Villa had not taken him seriously.

After saving him, they let him stay for a few days, telling him to get lost once his injuries improved, just as an act of charity.

But they never expected that this seemingly plain-looking scholar would, after just one glance at their Hidden Sword Pavilion, instantly comprehend the supreme Martial Learning of Cangjian Villa.

The Hidden Sword Pavilion housed thousands of sharp swords. After the experts of Cangjian Villa passed away throughout the generations, their swords would be enshrined there, waiting for someone fated to pick them up again.

Therefore, Sword Qi often soared into the sky from the Hidden Sword Pavilion; that was the divine weapons hidden there sighing that heroes had no place to use their talents.

Of course, this was also the most important place in Cangjian Villa; it was absolutely impossible for an outsider like Mu Zishan to get close.

Yet even so, feeling the soaring Sword Qi from the Hidden Sword Pavilion from afar, Mu Zishan actually comprehended the Sword Intent within it.

Afterwards, it caused Ten Thousand Swords to Resonate, and all the swords in the entire Hidden Sword Pavilion seemed to have been summoned, all soaring into the sky.

Mu Zishan gazed at those ten thousand swords from afar, standing there watching for a day and a night. Afterwards, the Hidden Sword Pavilion shone with brilliant light, and it seemed something had merged into Mu Zishan's body.

Then, a supreme Sword Intent seemed to surge from Mu Zishan's body, making the ten thousand swords submit. From then on, the supreme Martial Learning of Cangjian Villa was obtained by Mu Zishan.

According to the rules, Mu Zishan, having received the inheritance of Cangjian Villa, would become the Sword Master of Cangjian Villa, with a status even higher than the Villa Master. Everyone in Cangjian Villa obeyed his orders.

And Mu Zishan, having obtained the position of Sword Master, did not indulge in power, but instead acted as if he were indifferent to the world, starting to read books in Cangjian Villa.

Because of his status, all the books in Cangjian Villa, including various Martial Learning, were open to him without charge. If he had any questions, experts from Cangjian Villa would help him answer them.

In Cangjian Villa, Mu Zishan stayed for several years; no one knew exactly how much he had gained.

But once he left Cangjian Villa, Mu Zishan rose with the wind overnight, like a brilliant sun, causing the entire Jianghu to be shrouded in his light.

Cangjian Villa was the starting place for Mu Zishan, and also the foundation upon which he finally reached the summit, so it was only natural for him to return the favor.

"Who dares to trespass into my Cangjian Villa?"

When Shen Yu fell into the Great Array, the entire Great Array instantly began to operate, and countless streaks of Sword Qi appeared, dense and thick, blotting out the sky and sun.

Every streak of Sword Qi was sharp and exposed, appearing to possess the terrifying power to shatter stars.

Surrounded by such Sword Qi, even Shen Yu felt a sense of crisis, as if needles were pricking his back.

Afterwards, dozens of people flew over, dozens of long swords pointed at him. These people stood in specific positions, using their own Sword Intent to bolster the Array, making the power of the Array rise to a higher level.

"Is this really necessary!"

Ten thousand streaks of Sword Qi seemed likely to annihilate him at any moment. At this time, Shen Yu was like a lonely boat on the vast ocean, ready to be capsized by the waves at any time.

Although the experts of Cangjian Villa were battle-ready with serious expressions, they clearly felt that their Great Array was as solid as a golden fortress and nothing would go wrong.

But the next moment, Shen Yu suddenly disappeared from within the Array, causing the entire Cangjian Villa to be astonished.

That was impossible; this Great Array was painstakingly set up by the Sword Master back then.

Anyone who fell into their Cangjian Villa, as long as they had malicious intent, could never walk out alive.

"Are you looking for me!" When Shen Yu appeared again, he was already outside the Array, appearing behind these experts of Cangjian Villa.

Hearing the voice coming from behind, these experts of Cangjian Villa instantly had their hair stand on end, each holding their swords and turning around, ready for battle.

They could not imagine how this person before them had successfully walked out of the Array, and even less could they imagine that this person was so fearless.

"Stop, everyone stop!" Soon, a loud shout came, and then a figure quickly flew from the distance to this place.

After seeing the person clearly, the experts of Cangjian Villa all bowed respectfully, "Villa Master!"

"Villa Master, this person trespassed into our Cangjian Villa!"

"Shut up, this is Lord Shen Yu. Don't you often compare Lord Shen with the Sword Master on weekdays? How is it that you don't even recognize Lord Shen when you see him?"

"You recognize me?"

"My son once traveled far to the Southern Border to participate in the Eight Trigrams Mountain Assembly, where he once saw Lord Shen from afar, though Lord Shen might not have an impression of him."

"Is that so? Then we can be considered old acquaintances!" The Eight Trigrams Mountain Assembly in the Southern Border back then was something from several years ago; there were many people participating at that time.

Apart from famous young talents like South Willow North Gu, who remembered who was who? It seemed the son of this Cangjian Villa Villa Master wasn't much either.

"Lord Shen being able to come to my Cangjian Villa makes my Cangjian Villa shine with glory. Lord, please come in!"

"No need, I only came to return someone to you!"

"Return someone? Return who?"

"It's him!" As he spoke, Shen Yu pulled Yu Renqing, who had been locked in the Mountain and River Map, out and threw him in front of the Villa Master of Cangjian Villa.

"The Sword Intent left behind by Mu Zishan is inside his body, but the people you sent were killed by him. Speaking of which, this is my fault!"

"If it weren't for me, this kid wouldn't have known that he only carried Mu Zishan's Sword Intent and wouldn't be replaced by Mu Zishan, nor would he have developed ambition later."

"What?" Why the people in the villa went out carrying the Sword Master's Sword Intent, he, the Villa Master, knew better than anyone. It seemed the plan had gone wrong.

But no matter what happened, the Sword Master's Sword Intent was preserved.

"Many thanks to Lord Shen for your help. If it weren't for Lord Shen, the Sword Master's Sword Intent might not have been preserved."

"Someone, take him down. You must immediately extract the Sword Intent from his body to prevent any changes!"
