Chapter 410: The True Secret Place of the Nine Mystic Sword Sect (2)
“Elder Han, Elder Tuoba invites you to the main hall.” A white-robed disciple stood at the foot of the stone steps and bowed.
Han Muye tidied his clothes and headed for the hall at the top of the Nine Mystic Mountain.
When he arrived at the hall, Tuoba Cheng, Wu Ziyuan, and Zhang Zhihe were both there.
Tuoba Cheng raised his hand for Han Muye to sit down, then said, “You can come out of seclusion early. Looks like you’ve re-cultivated well?”
Everyone in the hall sized up Han Muye, but they could not see any changes in him.
His ability to conceal his cultivation was really extraordinary.
Han Muye did not hide. Spiritual light flashed on his body, and a faint halo circulated.
Earth Realm, fifth level of Spirit Awakening.
To Han Muye, spiritual energy cultivation was the lowest.
His combat strength was not measured by spiritual energy cultivation.
Zhang Zhihe laughed and said, “I knew you hid it well.”
To the Nine Mystic Sword Sect, Han Muye was not only an elder of the Sword Pavilion, but also the future leader.
Han Muye’s cultivation was still there, even purer than before.
This was good news for the entire Nine Mystic Sword Sect.
Even Tuoba Cheng heaved an imperceptible sigh of relief.
In the past, with Jin Ze at the helm, Tuoba Cheng had someone to guide him in everything he did.
Ever since Sect Master Jin Ze died and he took over the Nine Mystic Sword Sect, Tuoba Cheng always felt like he was walking on thin ice.
The Nine Mystic Sword Sect was now the number one sect in the Western Frontier. Any decision would affect the situation in the Western Frontier.
He had to be cautious.
“Since your cultivation has recovered, you should interact more with the various sects in the future.” Tuoba Cheng looked at Han Muye and chuckled. “After all, the Nine Mystic Sword Sect will be handed over to you in the future.”
This was a promise that Jin Ze had made when he was still around.
Han Muye did not care much about whether he would be in charge of the Nine Mystic Sword Sect in the future.
Now that he had found his own path of cultivation, power was dispensable to him.
However, the Nine Mystic Sword Sect was his foundation in the Western Frontier. He would not hand it over to outsiders for no reason.
“It’s easy to communicate.” Han Muye looked at Tuoba Cheng and said, “The Sword Pavilion will take out a few swords as rewards. The young experts of the various sects can have a friendly competition.”
“The winner will be decided almost before the inauguration ceremony. At that time, Martial Uncle Tuoba, you will personally give out the rewards.”
Hearing Han Muye’s words, Tuoba Cheng’s eyes lit up. “That’s a good idea.”
On the side, Wu Ziyuan frowned, “That is a good idea, but it is just a normal sword, these sect elites might not be tempted. Also…”
After a pause, he said softly, “Our Nine Mystic Sword Sect’s foundation is poor after all. We might not be able to host such a competition.”
Han Muye understood what Wu Ziyuan meant.
It was painful to take out a real treasure.
After all, there were not many treasures in the Sword Pavilion.
If he did not take out anything good, it would seem like the Nine Mystic Sword Sect was not sincere and the family business was not enough.
Moreover, the Nine Mystic Sword Sect now had a Heaven Realm expert, but Tuoba Cheng could not personally host this competition, right?
Without a Heaven Realm expert to hold the line, whether it was Wu Ziyuan or Zhang Zhihe, they did not dare to say that they could definitely suppress this battle between the elites of the Western Frontier.
If he could not suppress it, it would be a huge embarrassment.
“It’s a treasure. Don’t be reluctant. Elders, just take out your trump cards.” Han Muye looked at Wu Ziyuan and smiled.
Wu Ziyuan blushed and muttered, “I can take out a middle-grade spiritual weapon…”
For a half-step Heaven Realm expert like Wu Ziyuan, a middle-grade spiritual weapon was like cutting off his flesh.
Not everyone had Han Muye’s wealth.
“I have two medium-grade swords in my hands. I can take them out too,” Tuoba Cheng said in a low voice.
Zhang Zhihe forced a smile and said, “I only have two low-grade items.”
Han Muye nodded and said, “It’s enough.”
He still had many spiritual artifacts obtained from the demons and treasures obtained from the Fire Source World. In fact, he did not lack rewards. He just wanted to extort Tuoba Cheng and the others.
It was impossible for everyone in the Sword Pavilion to cut their flesh together.
“As for presiding over the competition,” Han Muye said proudly, “the experts of the Nine Mystic Sword Sect are enough.”
Experts?
Where did these experts come from?
“This competition venue will be in the Fire Source World.” Han Muye looked at Tuoba Cheng and Zhang Zhi in front of him and said, “As the number one sect in the Western Frontier, there’s no harm in sharing the Fire Source World.
Share the Fire Source World?
Wu Ziyuan was about to speak when Han Muye said calmly, “Patriarch Tao Ran’s cultivation can no longer be suppressed. He’s about to break through to the Heaven Realm.
“Once he breaks through, he won’t be able to guard the Fire Source World. At that time, our Nine Mystic Sword Sect won’t be able to defend the Fire Source World.”
Wu Ziyuan’s mouth was agape as he stood there in a daze.
Zhang Zhihe was also stunned for a moment, his expression changing from worry to joy.
After a while, he let out a long sigh. “Sigh, looks like this is the only way.”
With Patriarch Tao Ran’s combat strength and cultivation base, it was easy for him to host this competition.
Patriarch Tao Ran had broken through to the Heaven Realm and returned. This was a joyous matter for the Nine Mystic Sword Sect.
The Nine Mystic Sword Sect had two Heaven Realms, so it was not a problem for them to suppress the Western Frontier.
However, after Tao Ran left the Fire Source World, there was no one in the Fire Source World who was half a step into the Heaven Realm to suppress him.
Patriarch Tao Ran had mastered the sword force and was a cultivator of the fire lineage. He also had the support of the Heavenly Dao of the Fire Source World. In the Fire Source World, he could even fend off a Heaven Realm attack.
Although Zhang Zhihe and Wu Ziyuan were also half a step into Heaven Realm, their combat strength was much weaker than Old Patriarch Tao Ran.
“The passageway to the Fire Source World is far away in the old land of the Blazing Sun Palace. This round trip…” Wu Ziyuan frowned.
“I have a secret technique that can directly connect to the Fire Source World from the Nine Mystic Mountain.” Han Muye dispelled his last concerns.
