Chapter 52: Fire Beast

Su Muyu’s expression was not good. If this were the old Yu Youwei saying this, she would definitely think Yu Youwei was childish, but the current Yu Youwei was not like the old Yu Youwei.

She practiced the Xuan Yuan True Method and became the heir of the sect master. She held a certain influence within the Xuanyuan Sect. If one day she truly became the sect master, then either the Xuanyuan Sect or the royal family of the Yan Kingdom would surely be destroyed.

Clearly, the royal family of the Yan Kingdom did not hold a significant advantage. Though the royal family controlled Tianyuan Academy, if a war broke out with the Xuanyuan Sect, the cultivators in the academy might not all side with the royal family.

"Three years from now, it is also possible that your Xuanyuan Sect will be destroyed!"

Yi Qianmo replied, confident that he could easily defeat Yu Youwei and even the entire Xuanyuan Sect within three years.

Upon hearing this, the cultivators of Xuanyuan Sect frowned slightly, but they did not pay attention to Yi Qianmo’s words, even though he showed enough talent now.

However, thinking he could single-handedly fight against the ancient Xuanyuan Sect was simply a foolish dream.

Therefore, they not only did not take his words seriously, but also thought his words were very childish.

"Since it is a three-year agreement, we must set some rules. I hope that during these three years, no one will use any tricks."

Minister Professor Yu said.

"We agree." Elder Wu nodded.

"Also, I want to add one more thing: if anything happens to my fiancé’s family in these three years, no matter who is responsible, my royal family of the Yan Kingdom will not rest until Xuanyuan Sect is destroyed!"

Su Muyu said.

The cultivators of the Xuanyuan Sect all frowned. Elder Wu glanced at Yu Youwei, and Yu Youwei said, "It makes no difference whether we destroy them now or in three years. Let these little bugs live in fear for three years; it’s fine."

After saying that, Yu Youwei turned and left with her people, and the two swords that had been fighting flew back.

Both sides were not prepared to fight furiously right now. Although the Xuanyuan Sect is the strongest of the four great sects, if it truly battled with Tianyuan Academy, only the other three sects would benefit.

After they left, Su Muyu avoided Yi Qianmo’s gaze. In a moment of anger, she had said those things without thinking.

In front of so many people, thinking back on it now made her blush. Even though she was from royalty and had a sharp mind, she was still just a girl.

"You did very well," Yi Qianmo said.

"What?" Su Muyu looked up at him.

"I said you did very well," Yi Qianmo replied. "I will remember what happened today."

Su Muyu paused for a moment, feeling both happy and a bit disappointed. She was happy because she had achieved her goal, but disappointed because Yi Qianmo only acknowledged their shared interests and did not recognize the relationship she had just mentioned.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz."

Just as they were talking, suddenly the ground shook, and a bright red light burst into the sky from a distance. It was dusk, and the red light illuminated the entire mountain, painting the sky and ground red.

"It’s an omen!"

Su Muyu exclaimed in surprise, "This has happened before, but never so intensely. And why is the mountain shaking? Could it be that something extraordinary is appearing?"

If ordinary people felt this omen, they would already be kneeling on the ground, worshipping in fear. But the cultivators from Tianyuan Academy showed excitement on their faces.

When rare treasures appear, the worthy can claim them. If they were lucky enough to find something extraordinary, it could change their fate.

"To the east is the direction the Xuanyuan Sect is leaving," Minister Professor Yu said. "Your Highness, we must hurry! We can’t let the Xuanyuan Sect take the lead!"

Minister Professor Yu said.

"You go ahead, I’ll be there shortly," Su Muyu said.

Minister Professor Yu did not hesitate and quickly led the group towards the mountains in the east, leaving Su Muyu behind. She said, "Your family’s matter has been settled, you have used up a lot of your spiritual power and you are injured. Let me take you home."

"Hmm?"

Yi Qianmo looked at her in confusion, "You’ve come to Green Dragon Mountain so many times just for this treasure; if you miss it, wouldn’t that be a big regret?"

"To me, you are the greatest treasure."

As Su Muyu said this, her face turned red again.

With a bitter smile, Yi Qianmo said, "I’ll go with you, although I’m hurt, my body can still handle it, plus, someone is secretly protecting me."

Upon hearing this, Su Muyu suddenly thought of the mysterious cultivator in black and felt a little more at ease. She asked, "Where did that cultivator in black come from?"

"I told you, I inherited my ancestor’s legacy, and that person is here to protect it. However, he won’t act unless it’s absolutely necessary."

Yi Qianmo explained.

Since Su Muyu had already shown enough goodwill, he naturally could not keep things to himself. If they wanted to work together, he had to make her feel at ease about some matters.

"Is your swordsmanship also a legacy from your ancestors?"

Su Muyu asked.

"That’s right."

Yi Qianmo said, "Let’s talk while we walk."

Su Muyu nodded, and they immediately hurried toward the area where the strange sight was. Along the way, he spoke to Su Muyu about the legacy of their ancestors.

Of course, he could not tell Su Muyu about the existence of the Sword Pill, nor could he reveal that his ancestor was a great emperor from the Land of Immortals.

He spoke very vaguely, and Su Muyu believed him completely because what Yi Qianmo showed was already extraordinary enough.

"The inheritance from our ancestors is very strict. Only those who have the blood of the Yi family can learn the sword technique. Even I can only receive this inheritance because of Yu Youwei."

Yi Qianmo said.

Su Muyu nodded and said, "In three years, do you really believe you can defeat Yu Youwei? I just observed your fighting. Your sword skills are impressive, but using them consumes a lot of spiritual power. Right now, Yu Youwei is practicing the Mysterious Origin Technique, and with her yin and yang combined, her spiritual power far surpasses that of other cultivators at the same level. The later she gets in her practice, the stronger she will become."

"With the support of resources from Xuanyuan Sect, her abilities in three years will probably be very different!"

Su Muyu was filled with worry.

"Are you trying to tell me that Tianyuan Academy is not solely controlled by the royal family? Even if I join Tianyuan Academy, it is unlikely the royal family will fully focus on training me?"

Yi Qianmo asked.

Su Muyu nodded, "You saw earlier that the royal family does not have complete control over Tianyuan Academy. If one day there is a real conflict with Xuanyuan Sect, I fear most people will choose to stay neutral, and some might even betray the royal family."

Upon hearing this, Yi Qianmo suddenly understood why Su Muyu humbled herself so much for him.

"From now on, it will not happen again."

Yi Qianmo said.

In fact, the only thing he worried about in his heart was the Blood Inhibition that had previously destroyed Yu Youwei’s energy. Although he did not know what that restriction was, he could feel the terrible power contained within it.

The Xuanyuan Sect seemed scary now, but as his skills grew, it hardly seemed important to him.

But the Blood Inhibition was different; that kind of power made him, even with the Sword Pill, feel a sense of threat.

"Besides her yin-yang body, she also holds a greater secret!" Yi Qianmo thought to himself.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

A roar from afar broke Yi Qianmo’s thoughts. He and Su Muyu looked over at the same time and saw a huge fire ignite on the mountain. A giant Fire Beast stood on the mountain top roaring, and the sound came from the Fire Beast.
