After thinking for a moment, Shang Ruoyu came to the inn where Su Mu was staying.
Seeing Shang Ruoyu, Su Mu was greatly shocked, and his hand instantly went to the hilt of his sword.
“Don't be agitated, this Seat is not here to fight you,” Shang Ruoyu said.
“What do you want to do?” Su Mu's eyes were full of vigilance. There was no other way; Shang Ruoyu was too strong. Besides the Black Prison Master, other Sacred Martial Enforcers simply couldn't restrain her.
“This Seat came this time to tell you that this Seat has not left, but will not shake your Sacred Martial Continent's Foundation. This Seat is here to handle some personal matters,” Shang Ruoyu said.
Su Mu looked at Shang Ruoyu and nodded, “This Seat will relay your words to the Grand Enforcer.”
“There is one more thing, regarding the White Tiger Sacred Clan. The White Tiger Sacred Clan now has no powerful Cultivators. Your Sacred Martial Continent should not annihilate them. If you don't go too far, this Seat will make them abide by the rules of the Sacred Martial Continent,” Shang Ruoyu said.
“This is impossible. The decision made by the Grand Enforcer will not be changed. The White Tiger Sacred Clan members do not possess the Sacred Martial Continent's own sense of interest or honor and disgrace, so this land will no longer allow them to establish themselves,” Su Mu directly refused. The Sacred Martial Continent was not a place where Shang Ruoyu could do as she pleased.
“Alright, this Seat needs some time and will take them away, but during this period, you must not touch them again. Don't think of refusing. You have tempers, and this Seat also has spirit. If you insist on touching them, then this Seat will no longer abide by the rules!” Shang Ruoyu left the inn where Su Mu was staying.
After some thought, Su Mu went to the Demon Castle and sent out several letters. He had to inform the other Sacred Martial Enforcers about this matter.
Qin Chu still lived his normal life every day. In the morning, he practiced Alchemy at the Alchemist Guild. In the afternoon, he Cultivated Sword Arts and Boxing Arts. In the evening, he refined his Origin Qi. His free time was spent with Shang Shuyu.
After a few days, Su Mu received a letter from the Black Prison Master. The Black Prison Master's intention was to proceed as Shang Ruoyu suggested, but with a deadline: the White Tiger Sacred Clan must withdraw within one year. During this year, the White Tiger Sacred Clan should not appear in public and should not do anything to harm the Sacred Martial Continent.
When Shang Ruoyu came for the second time, Su Mu conveyed the Black Prison Master's intention.
“Good! This Seat will now find the White Tiger Sacred Clan and take them away within one year,” Shang Ruoyu said.
“If they don't follow the rules, then don't blame us Sacred Martial Enforcers. Also, don't go after Qin Chu again,” Su Mu said to Shang Ruoyu.
Shang Ruoyu didn't respond, turned, and left the inn where Su Mu was staying.
Not long after Shang Ruoyu left, Su Mu went to Vermilion Bird Mountain Villa, met Shangshu Tianye, and exchanged some words with him.
Hearing Su Mu's words, Shangshu Tianye breathed a sigh of relief. For the past few days, he had been secretly protecting Qin Chu, fearing that Shang Ruoyu would attack Qin Chu or act recklessly.
“I hope she doesn't act recklessly; we might not be able to withstand it,” Shangshu Tianye said.
“I don't think she will. Since she appeared and talked openly, she doesn't want to have a destructive conflict with us. After all, she has a Foundation in the Serene Martial Continent, and we can go there,” Su Mu said after thinking for a moment.
“Alright, we should still be careful and cautious,” Shangshu Tianye nodded.
Qin Chu did not know about this matter. Neither Shangshu Tianye nor Su Mu told Qin Chu. With Qingyi following Qin Chu, Shang Ruoyu would not be able to harm Qin Chu unless she made a big move. Shang Ruoyu would not make a big move, as they had already discussed it openly.
After Cultivating at home for half a month, Qin Chu planned to go to Heavenly Sword Mountain. He never slackened in his Cultivation of Sword Intent and Battle Intent; those were his deep reserves.
When Qin Chu was about to leave, Qin Lingxi brought him some Flame Spirit Stones.
“Thank you, Aunt,” Qin Chu said after receiving the Flame Spirit Stones.
Qin Chu and Bai Yu entered Heavenly Sword Mountain together. After Qingyi escorted the two into Heavenly Sword Mountain, he sat down at the entrance of Heavenly Sword Mountain to Cultivate.
Qi Qingqing followed Qin Chu and his party to Heavenly Sword Mountain. With Qingyi there, she didn't dare to approach. Qingyi had seen her, and if she got too close, Qingyi would detect her Qi.
Wait! Qi Qingqing decided to wait. Once Qingyi left, she would enter Heavenly Sword Mountain and capture Qin Chu.
There was a rule in Heavenly Sword Mountain that one could not fight, but this rule was for ordinary people. She was a Seventh-rank Venerable. She could strike and succeed instantly, giving others no chance to react.
Shang Ruoyu also arrived at the outskirts of Heavenly Sword Mountain. Qi Qingqing wanted to attack Qin Chu, and she wanted to attack Qi Qingqing. Their concerns were the same: they did not want to make a big fuss.
After Cultivating for a while inside Heavenly Sword Mountain, Qin Chu moved his position forward a bit, then continued to refine his Sword Intent and Battle Intent.
While refining his Sword Intent and Battle Intent, Qin Chu also Cultivated the Vermilion Bird Sacred Flame.
A month passed, and Qin Chu stood up. After stretching his waist, Qin Chu noticed a problem: the feeling of fatigue he used to experience after Cultivating was gone.
In the past, as long as he Cultivated in Heavenly Sword Mountain for a month, Qin Chu would feel tired.
Not only Qin Chu, but other Cultivators were also like this. Now Qin Chu no longer had that feeling; he could continue Cultivating. He felt that it should be the credit of the Soul Nurturing Flame in his Divine Sea. The reason why the Soul Nurturing Flame was precious was that it could nourish the Soul.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Chu left the Sword Intent impact zone. At the entrance of Heavenly Sword Mountain, he called out to Bai Yu, who had already come out, and Qingyi, who was waiting. The three of them returned to Vermilion Bird Mountain Villa together.
Watching Qin Chu leave, Qi Qingqing was filled with anger. Qingyi actually waited for a month, which made her lose the Opportunity to strike.
“This Seat doesn't believe you'll hide forever!” Qi Qingqing cursed inwardly, but she wasn't discouraged. Qin Chu was a living person and couldn't stay in Heavenly Sword City forever. As long as he left Heavenly Sword City, that would be her Opportunity to act.
Shang Ruoyu had also been following this matter. After Qin Chu returned to Vermilion Bird Mountain Villa, Shang Ruoyu left Heavenly Sword Mountain. She was going to find the White Tiger Sacred Clan. She knew the White Tiger Sacred Clan's retreat location. What she had to do now was to inform the White Tiger Sacred Clan members not to act and to wait until her matters were handled, then she would take the White Tiger Sacred Clan people to develop in the Serene Martial Continent. They had no choice but to abandon the Sacred Martial Continent.
When Shang Ruoyu arrived at the White Tiger Sacred Clan's hiding place, something happened that enraged her: several core members of the White Tiger Sacred Clan's Xifeng lineage had left the Sacred Martial Continent with a strong expert, abandoning the remaining White Tiger Sacred Clan members. It was a cousin of Shang Tianhua who had led the people away.
“Since they've left, they have nothing to do with this Seat anymore. Listen, don't move around recklessly, and don't appear in public. The people of the Sacred Martial Continent will no longer attack you. Within a year, this Seat will take you to the Serene Martial Continent,” Shang Ruoyu announced her decision.
After making arrangements for her clansmen, Shang Ruoyu returned to Heavenly Sword City. Besides Qin Chu being in Heavenly Sword City, she also planned to try to touch the great Opportunity of Heavenly Sword Mountain.
