Chapter 2 Thunderfire Sword
?
Xie Chenghuan failed to grasp the underlying meaning of Li Muyu's words, assuming that he had wavered, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.
Gu Qingxue, is this the junior brother you've chosen?
That's all there is to it!
"As long as you kill Gu Qingxue, it will be a great achievement, and I, the Holy Maiden, can personally ask my master for a reward on your behalf."
"If you gain the Master's favor, it is not impossible that you will become his disciple in the future and be taught the Mysterious Jade Scripture."
Of the three thousand outer disciples of Jade Void Palace, only a handful are able to enter the inner sect, and all of them are exceptionally talented. True disciples are even rarer, let alone those who can become disciples of the Palace Master.
Since Xue Baining succeeded as the palace master, she has only taken Xie Chenghuan as her personal disciple in the past ten years.
The Xuan Yu Scripture is the number one cultivation technique of the Jade Void Palace. It is not accessible to anyone other than the Palace Master's personally taught disciple, and it is the path passed down by successive Palace Masters.
Such tempting conditions were enough to make all the cultivators in the Great Qian Dynasty fight tooth and nail for them, and Xie Chenghuan didn't believe that Li Muyu could refuse.
Whether it will come true or not is none of this saint's business.
Listening to Xie Chenghuan paint a rosy picture of himself, Li Muyu frowned slightly, losing any desire to tease him.
"Alright, you can fool outsiders with this kind of talk, but don't believe it yourself."
"The Xuan Yu Scripture is indeed remarkable, but once mastered, it is extremely easy to develop inner demons. Not to mention one's skill level, it is still unknown whether one can maintain one's mental state."
"As the Holy Maiden of Jade Void Palace, do I need to remind you of this?"
The words fell.
Inside the dilapidated temple, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, with only the gentle drizzle falling outside the window.
Xie Chenghuan's smug expression gradually froze, his eyes staring straight at Li Muyu, filled with horror, unable to even concentrate on adjusting his breathing and healing his injuries.
"Only the successive palace masters and holy maidens know about the Mysterious Jade Technique. How did you find out?"
The Xuan Yu Gong is the foundation of the Yu Xu Palace, from which all other cultivation techniques have evolved. It concerns the cultivation paths of countless disciples within the sect and has a profound impact.
Even Xie Chenghuan only learned about it from Xue Baining after she officially succeeded as the Holy Maiden.
Ordinary inner disciples, and even sect elders, would have no way of knowing this.
Seeing Xie Chenghuan's astonished expression, Li Muyu, not one to shy away from a shocking remark, continued.
"As for the master you mentioned, if I'm not mistaken, she's barely able to protect herself right now. The pain of being burned by karmic fire is extraordinary..."
"Shut up!"
Xie Chenghuan suddenly became furious and hurriedly interrupted him with a loud rebuke.
Her once charming and alluring face was now covered in frost, all her charm gone, her breasts heaving, and her eyes filled with a chilling murderous intent, like an enraged female leopard.
It might be an accident that Li Muyu knew about the Xuan Yu Gong, but his ability to reveal his master's secret was definitely not a coincidence!
Since being corrupted by karmic fire, their master has been in seclusion, and no elders in the sect have seen her. Only the two of them knew about this.
If there is anyone in the world who knows about this, it is only that one person.
He knew that mysterious person!
Thinking of this, Xie Chenghuan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and broke out in a cold sweat.
You must know that he is someone even Master couldn't handle, and to this day, he remains an obsession that Master cannot shake off.
Turning to look at Li Muyu again, Xie Chenghuan saw a harmless smile, but his deep, dark eyes gave him a chilling feeling.
Gu Qingxue sat to the side, witnessing the entire conversation between the two. Even with her usually indifferent personality, she couldn't help but feel a slight tremor.
No wonder Jade Void Palace has been so peaceful in recent years; it turns out that Xue Baining's cultivation went wrong.
However, even their master didn't know this secret, and it was unclear where their junior brother had heard it from.
Just as the people inside the house were locked in a stalemate.
Tread-tap-
In the rainy night, several figures trudged through the muddy puddles, rapidly approaching the dilapidated temple.
Li Muyu's ears twitched slightly, sensing something.
"Someone's coming."
"Disciples from Jade Void Palace have caught up with us!"
Gu Qingxue, disregarding her injuries, suddenly stood up, grabbed Li Muyu's shoulder, flung open the dilapidated wooden window, and flew away.
Half an incense stick later.
Several disciples of the Jade Void Palace appeared before Xie Chenghuan.
The woman at the head of the group was tall and graceful, her undulating figure accentuated by a light blue gauze dress. Her slender waist was as supple as a water snake, and she slightly bowed her hands.
"Greetings, Saintess."
Xie Chenghuan was sitting cross-legged, healing his injuries. His body was radiating a dark green light that constantly traveled within his body.
On her rounded shoulder, a shocking wound slowly healed, revealing skin as smooth and translucent as porcelain. Her pale cheeks gradually regained color.
That petty woman, she really holds grudges. All she did was tease your junior brother.
Before fleeing for his life, he didn't forget to deliver a sword to himself.
"Gu Qingxue's injuries haven't healed yet; they can't go far."
"Bring him back to me at any cost."
The disciples of Jade Void Palace bowed and turned to chase after them.
Xie Chenghuan suppressed her seductive demeanor, raised her eyes to look out the window, her alluring face filled with solemnity.
Master has suffered the torment of karmic fire for many years, searching in vain. Today, he has finally obtained a clue, and he must not let it slip away.
-
Rainforest.
Two figures darted through the woods in the light drizzle, startling the swifts from their nests.
Gu Qingxue was injured, but she managed to travel several miles. Her already fair face looked even paler, her thin, round lips were bloodless, and a strand of her black hair was soaked by the rain and fell down her temples.
Sensing pursuers closing in from behind.
Knowing she could not escape and unwilling to implicate Li Muyu, Gu Qingxue suddenly stopped and took out a snow lotus from her bosom.
"They're catching up. You take Xue Lian and leave first. I'll hold them off."
Li Muyu landed beside her, looking at his senior sister's haggard and pale face. She stood leaning on her sword, the biting icy rain gently brushing past her, her slender and frail figure swaying precariously.
The snow lotus in her hand remained completely undamaged, emitting a faint fragrance, pure and holy.
What a foolish woman, why did she do this?
Seeing the footsteps getting closer behind her, Gu Qingxue was about to urge Li Muyu to leave.
Suddenly, Li Muyu raised his hand and gently grasped Gu Qingxue's soft hand.
"In the past, my senior sister has always been there to protect you. How about you try relying on me this time?"
Gu Qingxue's delicate body stiffened, and she raised her head, her bright eyes, as clear as stars, staring intently at Li Muyu, slightly lost in thought.
Looking down at their tightly clasped hands, feeling the unusual touch, a warm current slowly flowed through them, constantly dispelling the chill, and a faint blush rose to her jade-like cheeks.
"Those people are quite powerful; there should be at least one of them who is a fifth-realm cultivator."
Li Muyu smiled, his words radiating confidence.
"No problem, the cheat program has been credited to my account!"

Li Muyu turned around, looked at the Jade Void Palace disciples chasing after him in the distance, and smiled slightly.
