Chapter 88: The number one sword cultivator in the Western Frontier

At the waterside residence.

The female cultivator, Jin Yuan, looked at Han Muye who was carrying a wooden box with a complicated expression.

When the Sword Pavilion Elder left the Nine Mystic Mountain, there were many rumors in the sect.

Most people felt that the Sword Pavilion Elder was probably going to die this time.

At this time, what did this Sword Pavilion Sword Caretaker want from her master?

‘Was he intending to leave the Sword Pavilion?’

“Senior Brother Han, although my master is an elder, he doesn’t manage the sect.”

“She never asks about the allocation of the disciples in the sect.”

Jin Yuan’s words revealed a hint of impatience and faint annoyance.

Since he had become a Sword Caretaker, shouldn’t he be guarding the Sword Pavilion now?

If there was any danger, he would seek refuge.

How could a cultivator be so weak-willed?

“I know.”

Han Muye, who was moving forward, nodded and ignored Jin Yuan’s words.

Jin Yuan saw his expression and shook her head. She did not speak again.

When they arrived at Elder Su Liang’s wooden building, Jin Yuan reported, then Han Muye walked in.

“You’re here regarding Senior Brother Gao’s matter, right?” Su Liang looked up at Han Muye and asked softly.

Han Muye nodded and said, “Elder, how’s the situation on Deer Park Mountain now?”

Su Liang’s eyes flashed. She looked at Han Muye and said calmly, “The Sword Sect and the Great Spiritual Sword Sect are still in a standoff.”

They were still in a standoff, which meant that Mu Tieyang from the Great Spiritual Sword Sect was still alive, and the Sword Pavilion Elder had yet to attack.

That was good news.

Han Muye heaved a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, “Elder, if we send out the Broken Beam sword of the Three Qin Sword Sect, I wonder if this matter could be settled?”

Everyone else was looking forward to the Sword Pavilion Elder killing Mu Tieyang and raising the might of the Sword Sect.

However, Han Muye really did not want the Sword Pavilion Elder to attack.

“You’re asking me about the matters involving the nine sects of the Western Frontier and the four great sword sects?” Elder Su Liang shook her head and smiled bitterly. “Other than alchemy, I don’t get involved in anything else. Or rather, I’m powerless to be involved.”

Even Elder Su Liang said that she was powerless to interfere. This meant that it was almost impossible to change this matter.

If Elder Gao took action and killed the Supreme Elder of the Great Spirit Sword Sect, Mu Tieyang, with a single strike, then the Nine Mystic Sword Sect would lose an elder comparable to the Heaven Realm, and the Great Spirit Sword Sect would lose a half-step Heaven Realm Supreme Elder.

The two sects would suffer a huge loss in strength, and they were ranked behind the four major sword sects. This could reassure the other major sects.

However, among them, the five lineages of the Nine Mystic Sword Sect would become united and they would have benefitted.

Sending back the Broken Beam sword would damage the reputation of the Sword Sect.

The Sect Master and the three Grand Elders had probably never thought about it.

Seeing that Han Muye was silent, Elder Su Liang looked at him and said, “You came to the Waterside Residence just for this?”

Jin Yuan looked at Han Muye.

When he heard that her master, Elder Su Liang, was powerless to interfere, this Senior Brother Han would probably ask the elder to help him leave the Sword Pavilion, right?

He just didn’t know how to start.

Indeed.

Han Muye held out the wooden box in his hand.

Most of these wooden boxes were used to store spiritual rocks.

“I want to ask an elder for a favor.”

Holding the wooden box, Han Muye spoke softly.

Elder Su Liang looked at the wooden box and said nothing.

Han Muye opened the wooden box and there were 20 resplendent spiritual rocks.

20 high-grade spiritual rocks was almost all of his wealth.

Jin Yuan looked at the wooden box in Han Muye’s hand in surprise.

She did not expect Han Muye to be so rich.

How could a Sword Pavilion’s Sword Caretaker have so many high-grade spiritual rocks?

Su Liang also frowned slightly. Just as she was about to speak, Han Muye had already bowed and said, “I would like to ask Elder for the formula of the Essence Energy Nurturing Pill.”

The Essence Energy Nurturing Pill was the best pill to increase one’s cultivation at the Essence Energy Cultivation Realm.

Shouldn’t he be begging the elder to transfer him out of the Sword Pavilion?

Jin Yuan looked confused.

“Is that all?” Elder Su Liang pondered for a moment before asking indifferently.

Han Muye nodded.

Just for that.

Elder Su Liang looked at Han Muye in surprise and nodded. “Senior Brother Gao is right…”

She stood up and walked to the wooden shelf behind her to look for a few spiritual herbs. As she picked them out, she said, “Last time, Mu Wan said that you’re very talented in alchemy. I’ll refine it twice and you can ask me if there’s anything you don’t understand.”

After finding all the spiritual herbs, Elder Su Liang raised her hand and a green-red flame rose.

“Boom—”

At this moment, a roar came from the sky, making Elder Su Liang’s expression change as she retracted the flames.

Han Muye turned to look out of the wooden building.

In the sky, sword lights rose and rushed towards the Nine Mystic Mountain.

In the sky, streams of light flashed, and a thin screen of light enveloped the entire Nine Mystic Mountain.

“What’s the matter? The protection array has been activated…”

Elder Su Liang frowned. Just as she stood up, a spiritual light passed through the wooden building and landed in front of her.

Reaching out to hold the spiritual light, Elder Su Liang’s expression changed and finally turned solemn.

Putting away the spiritual light, she looked at Han Muye and Jin Yuan.

“The Great Spirit Sword Sect’s Qin Yuanhe has ambushed the head of the Cao family, Cao Anchun, at the foot of the Nine Mystic Mountain. The head of the Cao family is in danger. I have to go to the Cao family.”

He had ambushed Cao Anchun, the head of the Cao family?

Han Muye’s expression changed.

He had just interacted with the Cao family’s head.

The Cao family was a family of blacksmiths. Nearly 30% of the swords in the Sword Pavilion were sent by the Cao family.

If anything happened to the Cao family, it would greatly affect the Nine Mystic Sword Sect.

“This time, the Sect Master would really be taking action.”

Elder Su Liang sighed softly and spiritual light rose from her body.

“The Sect Master has personally visited the Tai Yi Sword Sect. Mu Tieyang is dead meat.”

The Tai Yi Sword Sect was the third of the nine sects of the Western Frontier. It was the head of the four major sword sects. The sect’s Grand Elder, Tu Sunshi, was the number one sword cultivator in the Western Frontier.

He belonged to the Heaven Realm, Nascent Soul Realm.

Was the sect master of the Nine Mystic Sword Sect visiting the Tai Yi Sword Sect to endorse the killing of Mu Tieyang?

If Mu Tieyang died, Elder Gao probably wouldn’t be able to return, right?

“These are a few formulas from my Waterside residence collection. Take them and comprehend them.”

“If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask Jin Yuan.”

“There’s no need for spiritual rocks. I don’t lack these.”

Elder Su Liang raised her hand and threw a jade slip to Han Muye. Then, she flew away in a green cloud.

The jade slip contained information that could be detected with divine sense. It was the most commonly used method to record and store information in the cultivation world.

Han Muye held the jade slip in his hand and sighed softly.

“Senior Brother Han, I…” Jin Yuan looked at him with a complicated expression. She lowered her head and said,” I’ll refine a furnace of Essence Energy Nurturing Pills for you. I can’t gather much spiritual herbs for Essence Energy Nurturing Pills from the waterside residence. ”

Essence Energy Nurturing Pills were precious. Not only were they difficult to refine, but the spiritual herbs needed were also difficult to obtain.

Jin Yuan was a little ashamed. She had thought too badly of Senior Brother Han.

Han Muye shook his head and stuffed the jade slip into his pocket, then carefully put away the spiritual herbs on the table.

“Lady Jin, I’ll study it myself.”

“How many spiritual rocks are needed for these two furnaces of spiritual herbs? I’ll leave them to Storeowner Bai to settle the bill at waterside residence.”

With that, Han Muye turned and left.

If he refined two cauldrons of spiritual herbs with his sword Qi, he might be able to obtain a few more and the quality would be better.

If he gave it to Jin Yuan and she failed, he would have nowhere to cry.

Watching Han Muye leave, Jin Yuan bit her lip and said nothing.

…

Han Muye strode back to the Sword Pavilion. When he returned, Huang Six and Lu Gao were waiting anxiously at the door.

“It’s chaotic. It’s really chaotic this time.” Seeing Han Muye, Lu Gao came up and hurriedly said, “The Great Spiritual Sword Sect is openly provoking us. They’re really forcing Elder Gao to death.”

Standing on the steps, Huang Six’s expression was dark as he said in a low voice, “Just now, the inner sect deacon came to tell me that Elder Gao has already left behind instructions that when I finish my ten years as a Sword Caretaker, I will be released as a deacon.”

“Elder Gao had resolved my last concerns.”
