Stimulated by Yi Feng's Sword Intent, Qin Chu's Sword Intent was sublimated.
For a Sword Cultivator, the sword is everything, the enemy is secondary!
The people around Qin Chu moved a little distance away. The woman who had exchanged a few words with Qin Chu was full of surprise. To be able to improve one's Sword Intent just by watching a battle, this was too overbearing.
Qin Chu closed his eyes, sensing the changes in his Sword Intent. As for the battle in the air, he no longer had the energy to pay attention to it.
A quarter of an hour later, Qin Chu's Sword Intent retracted into his body. At the same time, with a clear sound, Mo Xie's body uncontrollably retreated, blood flowing from his chest.
Invisible Sword! After realizing his opponent's strength, Yi Feng unleashed his unique skill.
"Is this your famous sword technique?" Mo Xie looked down at the wound on his chest, then looked at Yi Feng.
"That's right, the Invisible Sword was something I comprehended when I sought guidance from the Holy Clan's Young Clan Chief Zhan Ye. Today, you insulted him, so being wounded by the Invisible Sword is also Karma," Yi Feng said coldly.
"I will come again." Mo Xie's body flickered and he disappeared.
Yi Feng looked at the Cultivators watching. "The Vermilion Bird Holy Clan has withdrawn from the world, and the Cultivators in our region are weak. Others can attack whenever they want. At this time, we must become stronger. Starting today, Qing Cang Mountain will recruit Sword Cultivators."
After scanning the Cultivators watching, Yi Feng returned to the mountain gate.
With Yi Feng's words, many Sword Cultivators went to sign up. Yi Feng was, in fact, the strongest Sword Cultivator in this region. If one wanted to Cultivate the Sword Dao, Qing Cang Mountain was the best choice.
Qin Chu didn't move. He also wanted to experience Qing Cang Mountain's Sword Dao, but he had more urgent matters to attend to.
"You're not old, yet you possess a Level Three Sword Intent. Aren't you considering joining Qing Cang Mountain?" the woman beside Qin Chu asked.
"I have other things to do!" Qin Chu turned and left. He didn't have time to stay in Qing Cang Mountain.
Qin Chu left. The woman who had spoken with Qin Chu entered Qing Cang Mountain and went directly to the Sect's main hall.
"Senior Sister, what's with that young lad you were with just now?" Yi Feng asked the woman.
"Junior Brother, that lad is amazing. After watching your battle with Mo Xie, his Sword Intent directly advanced, advancing to Level Three Sword Intent! I recommended him to Cultivate at Qing Cang Mountain, but he refused," the woman said. She was Chen Yue, the Great Senior Sister of Qing Cang Mountain's second generation. Some time ago, she had gone to Heavenly Sword Mountain to improve her Sword Intent, but before she could gain any insights, she heard the news that Mo Xie was going to fight Yi Feng and rushed back.
"Someone, go observe that young fellow. To have Level Three Sword Intent at such a young age, he's a good prospect," Yi Feng instructed someone beside him.
Returning to the inn in the city, Qin Chu immediately began his closed-door Cultivation. With his Sword Intent Breakthrough, he had to carefully study and stabilize it.
After four days of closed-door Cultivation, Qin Chu finally completely stabilized his Level Three Sword Intent. Heavenly Sword Mountain, he remembered that name. After he went to the Vermilion Bird Holy Land, he would go to Heavenly Sword Mountain. The battle between Yi Feng and Mo Xie had deeply shocked Qin Chu. Only such swordsmen were worthy of being called Sword Cultivators.
Leaving his room and going to the inn's lobby, Qin Chu ordered a few dishes and a jar of wine. His increase in strength was a good thing; he had to celebrate.
What was supposed to be a celebration turned sour when Qin Chu overheard some disheartening news. He heard a patron say that the Azure Dragon Holy Clan had agreed to the Xifeng Imperial Dynasty's marriage proposal, but the wedding date had not yet been set.
Qin Chu slammed his wine bowl heavily on the table. "Damn it, today you snatch my woman, tomorrow I'll snatch your sister, your younger sister, and even your wife!"
Qin Chu's words made many patrons look over. They didn't understand how such a simpleton had appeared in the inn. He was quite handsome, but his mind wasn't quite right. Many people felt it was a pity.
Qin Chu felt a bit awkward, then continued eating. However, the patrons' subsequent conversation made him feel a little better: the wedding date hadn't been set because the Azure Dragon Holy Clan's little princess had run away. With the female lead of the marriage gone, how could a wedding date be set?
Taking a sip of wine, Qin Chu threw his head back and laughed loudly. "That's so damn satisfying! If she ran, don't go back. Don't give them a chance."
Then, under the patrons' stares as if he were an idiot, Qin Chu left his seat. After paying the bill, he drove the stored beast-carriage away and continued his journey.
Qin Chu left, unaware that his whereabouts had fallen into the eyes of someone with ulterior motives.
Driving the beast-carriage, Qin Chu approached the Vermilion Bird Holy Land. As he got closer, his mood became more and more nervous.
Yi Feng and Chen Yue both received the news.
"Senior Sister, what is that lad doing? His direction is the Holy Land. That area cannot be approached recklessly now. There are people from the White Tiger Holy Clan and the Yan Lei Holy Clan active there. If anyone approaches, they will kill them because they fear the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan's resurgence," Yi Feng said.
"How could that young fellow be so foolish? The Holy Land is like a forbidden zone now; no one who approaches it will have a good outcome!" Chen Yue was also a little puzzled.
"At such a young age, he has Level Three Sword Intent. He's a good prospect and cannot meet with an accident. I'll go there!" Yi Feng made his decision.
The Vermilion Bird Holy Land was once the core of this region, its deterrence covering one-fifth of the Central Province's territory. Although it had declined, a Holy Land was still a Holy Land. Furthermore, Qin Chu also had a feeling, as if something was calling him to go there from the depths of his being.
Knowing there was danger ahead, Qin Chu left his beast-carriage in a forest and proceeded towards the Vermilion Bird Holy Land on foot.
Vermilion Bird Holy Mountain was the former clan land of the Vermilion Bird Clan. Even now, it was still a Holy Land in the hearts of many.
In the great battle seventeen years ago, many people from the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan died, and many Cultivators under their command also perished, but no one could go to the Holy Land to pay respects, because all who went to pay respects never returned. Now, those who still held the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan in their hearts could only burn incense from afar to offer sacrifices.
Where Qin Chu passed, he saw two places where incense was being burned.
Feeling that approaching further would be dangerous, Qin Chu hid himself in an ancient tree. Only when night fell did he approach Vermilion Bird Holy Mountain.
The majestic and ancient buildings, devoid of any life, exuded terror in the night.
The hooting of night owls occasionally echoed, intensifying this feeling. Those with timid hearts truly dared not approach.
After observing for a while, Qin Chu discovered a bonfire with a few figures gathered around it.
There really were guards. Qin Chu detoured far around them and continued towards the interior of the Vermilion Bird Holy Land. He was very cautious, operating the Spirit Concealing Art that Qian Lingwu had taught him to its limit, not revealing even a trace of his aura.
After bypassing the guards' blockade, Qin Chu breathed a sigh of relief and then entered the Vermilion Bird Holy Land.
Upon entering the interior of the Vermilion Bird Holy Land, Qin Chu felt an inexplicable sadness. This was once his home, and after being shamelessly besieged, it led to the destruction of his family.
After calming his emotions, Qin Chu again felt that call from the bottom of his heart.
