Chapter 334: Chapter 334: Black Water Sect Extends an Olive Branch
Compared to her own life, the life of the Seven Blood Daoist was utterly insignificant. For her own sake, she could only sacrifice the Seven Blood Daoist.
Swoosh!
Chu Ming’s gaze flickered, and the Conjugate Sword instantly unsheathed. A terrifying sword light burst from his sword, sweeping directly towards Hong Ling Daoist, the air splitting in two and dispersing to both sides.
Thud!
A beam of blood shot out as Hong Ling Daoist’s blood erupted. His body was cleaved in half, gathering into a small stream on the ground.
The Celestial Star Daoist scanned around, confirming that both the Deceptive Banner Daoist and the Seven Blood Daoist were dead. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, simultaneously growing more wary of Chu Ming.
Chu Ming could take out a Fire Essence Crystal; nobody knew if it was his last one. At this moment, Chu Ming seemed more unfathomable to him.
Swoosh!
Chu Ming’s body flickered, transforming into wisps of smoke. Upon reappearing, he was already at the mountain gate of Cyan Nether Mountain. The Celestial Star Daoist and Extreme Sky Scattered Man followed closely behind, their eyes flickering, harboring unknown thoughts.
"From now on, Cyan Nether Mountain belongs to the Martial Extreme Sect and the Celestial Star Sect. As for how it will be distributed, you two can discuss it yourselves."
Chu Ming turned his head and said calmly to the Celestial Star Daoist and Extreme Sky Scattered Man.
"Thank you, Master Chu!"
The Celestial Star Daoist and Extreme Sky Scattered Man’s faces lit up with joy. They had accompanied Chu Ming to Cyan Nether Mountain for its foundation, and now their desires were fulfilled, making them naturally delighted.
Not bothering with much else, Chu Ming directly rode the Sky Eagle towards Snow Peak, the scenery on both sides quickly passing by.
The commotion at Cyan Nether Mountain was too great. Even if Chu Ming wanted to conceal it, it couldn’t be hidden, not to mention he had no intention of hiding it.
Thus, shortly after Chu Ming’s departure, martial artists from the Jianghu arrived at Ghost Mountain to see what had transpired. However, what greeted their eyes was the bloodshed and ruins of Cyan Nether Mountain.
"Gasp, Cyan Nether Mountain was eradicated!"
"Chu Ming is ruthless, his actions are just like those of a demonic organization!"
"Hehe, so what? Chu Ming is a member of the Celestial Travel Sect and the Inspector of the Ten Kingdoms. Even if he pokes a hole in the sky of the ten kingdoms, nothing will happen!"
"I just saw a stream of black qi flowing here from afar, now it’s gone?"
The crowd’s discussions grew. In just half a day, the news of Cyan Nether Mountain’s destruction spread throughout the Great Yan Kingdom and started to reach neighboring countries, causing Chu Ming to become a fearsome figure discussed widely.
At this moment, Chu Ming was on Snow Peak, entering a state of secluded cultivation. This time, he aimed to fully master the Fourth Technique of Yin Wave Palm and to attempt a breakthrough to the Seventh Heaven of True Dao.
While the Great Yan Kingdom remained calm, on the tenth day, over fifty black-robed martial artists rushed from the Celestial River Kingdom to the Great Yan Kingdom. Acting hastily, they flew directly towards Snow Peak upon entering the borders.
At the summit of Snow Peak, a white-robed figure’s hands danced. Terrifying palm force tore through the air, spreading powerful qi all around. The snow on the ground flew into the air, turned to powder, and scattered.
Boom!
Chu Ming’s gaze tightened as he struck the ground with his palm, a roaring sound erupting, creating a seven to eight meter deep pit with waves of white mist emerging, blurring his view.
"Ten days, the Fourth Technique of Yin Wave Palm has finally reached the Transformation Realm!"
Chu Ming murmured, combining his existing lethality with the Fourth Technique of Yin Wave Palm could now rival the Clouds Rolling and Unrolling technique.
Swoosh!
A shadow flickered and stopped abruptly, revealing Wang Qi before Chu Ming, respectfully cupping his fists.
"Master, the people from the Black Water Sect of Celestial River Kingdom have arrived!"
Upon hearing Wang Qi’s words, a peculiar look crossed Chu Ming’s eyes.
The Black Water Sect is one of two sects in the Celestial River Kingdom, highly influential. Chu Ming had a grudge with them, stemming from his destruction of the Skull Society during his passage through the Celestial River Kingdom. Now, they had come for him instead.
"Lead the way!"
Chu Ming instructed calmly. At his current strength of a Transcendence Realm martial artist, he wasn’t fearful, even if the Black Water Sect came with ill intentions.
"Yes!"
Wang Qi responded respectfully, deeply admiring Chu Ming. Something seemingly impossible had been accomplished by Chu Ming unconsciously. Now, in the Great Yan Kingdom, Cyan Yang Sect, Martial Extreme Sect, and Celestial Star Sect all followed Chu Ming’s lead. With Cyan Nether Mountain and Burning Fire Valley eradicated, the prestige of Snow Peak had reached its peak.
Soon, the two of them arrived at Snow Peak Hall.
Inside the hall, three black-robed elders sat in chairs, eyes closed in meditation, while other martial artists stood quietly outside the hall.
As Chu Ming arrived, the three black-robed elders seemed to sense his presence, instantly opened their eyes, and looked toward Chu Ming.
"Master Chu!"
The lead elder’s face was sallow, his forehead broad, with crow’s feet spreading across his face. Chu Ming felt a spiritual power from him, no weaker than that of the Celestial Star Daoist.
This was a Guiyuan Realm Fourth Layer expert.
"May I know who this is?"
Chu Ming asked calmly, his gaze sweeping towards the other two, discovering that they were both elders—a pale-faced one with black-and-white hair, and one whose head had been cleaved a third off, looking fearsome.
"I am Qing Yu Daoist, and these are my two disciples, Qing Ning and Qing Hui!"
Qing Yu Daoist introduced himself, pointing to the pale-faced and the fearsomely-headed elders.
Chu Ming nodded slightly, recognizing Qing Yu Daoist as a Guiyuan Realm Fourth Layer expert, while Qing Ning and Qing Hui Daoists were Guiyuan Realm Third Layer experts. Chu Ming couldn’t help but acknowledge the strength of the Black Water Sect.
Having three Guiyuan Realm experts appear at once surpassed any sect in the Great Yan Kingdom, and Chu Ming was sure this wasn’t the full strength of the Black Water Sect. To establish itself in the Celestial River Kingdom, the Black Water Sect likely had at least five Guiyuan Realm experts.
"May I know the purpose of Qing Yu’s visit to Snow Peak?"
Chu Ming asked indifferently.
"Hearing that Master Chu plans to eliminate the demonic organizations in the ten kingdoms, my Black Water Sect may be weak, but we are willing to offer assistance."
Qing Yu Daoist smiled faintly as he spoke.
He had come to make peace with Chu Ming, acknowledging Chu Ming’s growing influence. Not only had Chu Ming become untouchable within the ten kingdoms, his prestige in the Celestial Travel Sect had soared, hinting at the potential of achieving the Realm of Transcendence in the future.
