Sect Leader Qin Yutan and Great Elder Ou Guangchuan were at odds with each other. Ou Guangchuan had even secretly formed a faction and was preparing to overturn the management level of the Sect.
The Aquatic Sword Sect was like a tiger staring covetously at its prey. They held a deep prejudice against the core sect, and the hatred between the two sects grew even deeper. According to Lu Yunzhou's words, Aquatic Sword Sect had already fully prepared to deal with the matters of the Treant's Heart Sect!
The core sect had already experienced the sect's betrayal some time ago. Under the panic of the people, if the sect were to fall apart once again, then it would only be a matter of time before it would be destroyed by the Aquatic Sword Sect.
But from the looks of it, the core reason for all of this was because of the evil cultivators' ancient scrolls and weapons hidden in the forbidden area behind the core sect. Ou Guangchuan wanted to use these things to quickly increase the strength of the Core Sect disciples, and use them to deal with the threat from the Aquatic Sword Sect.
On the other hand, the Water Sword Sect had their eyes set on the matters concerning the Demonic Sect cultivators in the forbidden area behind the Sect of Tree. Now, Lu Yunzhou's words were very clear. The whole of Aquatic Sword Sect had started to move, preparing to start a war against the Treant's Heart Sect.
The Core Sect still had the support of the Aquatic Sword Sect. Once the two sides joined forces, Mu Xinshu would be very clear that the eight hundred disciples of the Core Sect would not be able to withstand this disaster.
Mu Xinshu had stayed in the Zither Sound City for two days. Besides the incident with Lu Yunzhou, there was nothing else that disturbed him and Monk Jingyi. This also allowed Mu Xinshu to have a little problem with familiarity and cultivation of the Arrogant Sword Scripture.
"Tomorrow, you will follow me to the heart of the tree to see my eldest senior brother Feng Yu Hai!" After being saved by Mu Xinshu, Lu YunZhou's injuries, which could not be considered serious, were quickly healed with the aid of the monk and Jing, one of them being by his side. He had learned so many secrets from Lu Yunzhou. Naturally, he would not allow him to leave just like that.
"Brother Mu, it's not that I do not wish to appreciate your kindness, but this matter is of great concern. If the Water Sword Sect were to let me off like this, they would not let me off! In the afternoon, you saved me from Guo Yuntao. When they return, their superior will probably come knocking on their door tonight! If it were Water Sword Sect, they would never let a disciple like me, who was worth a lot of things, go to your Heart Tree Sect! Before the whole thing is planned, there is no way that Water Sword Sect would let their sect know of their secret! "
Mu Xinshu gave a noncommittal smile, as if he didn't care much about it, "What's the big deal, we'll just stay in this inn for the night! Tomorrow morning, we will set off. With me, there will be a peaceful monk, why should you be afraid? "
Lu YunZhou glanced at Mu Xinshu. With Mu Xinshu's current strength as a late fifth meridian user, perhaps what Mu Xinshu had said was true. However, there was still a look of worry on Lu Yunzhou's face!
"Before this, there were already many disciples of the Aquatic Sword Sect that snuck into the Zither Sound City. There are at least a dozen disciples with the same cultivation level as Guo Yuntao! And they, are the vanguard troops that the Aquatic Sword Sect has prepared to deal with your Treant's Heart Sect! Once Guo Yuntao and the other Ruoshui disciples return, they will definitely come find us! "
Mu Xinshu turned around to look at the quiet Daoist Master Jing, "Master Jing Yi, what do you think about this?"
At this moment, he was originally sitting cross-legged on the ground. After hearing Mu Xinshu's words, he stood up, patted the dust off his clothes, and then said to Mu Xinshu with a smile, "Amitabha! This little monk did not deserve the title of 'Almsgiver' from Mu! As for how I see it, this little monk believes that Benefactor Lu's words are not unreasonable! I know that Benefactor Mu really wanted to save the sect. I wanted to bring Benefactor Lu Li back to the core of the sect and tell them about the Aquatic Sword Sect's plot! But we have no choice but to be careful, the Water Sword Sect is not weaker than the Core Sect! One or two Guo Yuntao isn't a threat, but if there were a dozen Fourth Meridian realm cultivators like Guo Yuntao, we still wouldn't be able to compare! So, with this little one's opinion, we still have to be more steady! "
Mu Xinshu rolled his eyes and snappily stared at Jingyi, "Monk Jingyi, can you speak less nonsense? What's there to be afraid of? The two of us aren't weak, and our combined strength can block a 6th meridian stage cultivation expert! Could it be that they are afraid of a dozen Fourth Meridian Stage disciples? "
"Are you serious? If you and this little monk work together, can you really deal with a 6th meridian stage expert? " Jingyi the monk looked at Mu Xinshu with a smile, causing Mu Xinshu to be stunned!
"Eh! Alright, of course it's not like that!" Mu Xinshu scratched his head awkwardly, and then said to Jing Yi, "Although our teaming up isn't that strong, it's about the same! No matter what, I don't think there's a need for us to escape. Lu Yunzhou is with us, how could he deal with those people who came to try to assassinate Lu Yunzhou! I have decided that Lu YunZhou will stay here tonight and stay with us. Tomorrow morning, we will go up the mountain together to meet my eldest senior brother! "
"Amitabha!" Seeing Mu Xinshu's determined look, Jing Yi put his palms together and slowly nodded to Mu Xinshu, "Since that is the case, then this little one has nothing to say! Sir, please rest early! "
Lu Yunzhou hesitantly looked at Mu Xinshu and Jing and monk as they conversed. He hesitantly paused for a moment, then sighed and shook his head, not continuing to persuade Mu Xinshu.
Mu Xinshu gently smiled. He could see that there was something hidden behind Lu Yunzhou's hesitant expression, but from Mu Xinshu's point of view, Lu Yunzhou also had his own secrets, so he didn't need to investigate them too deeply!
"Can you tell me why you are so determined to find me? Why are you telling me all the secrets of the Aquatic Sword Sect that you know? You have to understand that after you found out about the secret of Water Sword Sect, you don't have to run. Becoming one of them, with your identity as a Water Sword Sect disciple, isn't a difficult matter! " Just as Mu Xinshu was about to leave, he suddenly turned around to look at Lu YunZhou and asked with a puzzled expression.
Lu Yunzhou shrugged his shoulders, a bitter smile appearing on his face. "Indeed, this way, we might be able to follow the flow, or we might be able to become accomplices with them!" But, you know, I'm not that kind of person. I don't want to see things twisted like this! Their declaration to the outside world and the truth of the matter are completely different. That kind of hypocritical place, I can't stay here any longer! Furthermore, do we really have to fight to the death between the Treant's Heart Sect and the Aquatic Sword Sect?
