Supreme Sword Sovereign

A hundred miles away from the black market.

In an unremarkable little mountain hollow, a patch of slender bamboo grew, no taller than a few meters, about the thickness of a thumb. The pale green bamboo had streaks of deep purple and a faint metallic sheen, clearly not ordinary. Within the bamboo grove, various exotic flowers and herbs swayed gently in the breeze, their fragrance wafting continuously.

Amidst the swirling spiritual mist, a thatched cottage appeared and disappeared.

This was the residence of Old Mu.

Rarely did major events occur in the black market, so there was no need for him to constantly oversee it. Moreover, due to his indifferent nature, he had chosen this serene and elegant abode.

Boom!

Suddenly!

Within this paradise-like bamboo grove, an overwhelming demonic aura erupted, completely out of place!

The demonic aura spread, causing countless slender bamboos to topple and break.

As for those exotic flowers and herbs, they were ravaged beyond recognition.

"You!"

Even Old Mu, with his indifferent temperament, couldn't help but get angry.

"This is too much!"

"Do you know!"

Facing the man before him, shrouded in a sinister demonic aura, his expression was as dark as water.

"This Purple Spirit Bamboo is a natural rarity, excellent for crafting. I spent a lot to nurture it..."

Boom!

Before he could finish speaking.

The demonic aura intensified.

"Friend Gu."

Before Old Mu could finish.

A tall, burly man with a large black pot on his back quickly intervened.

"Don't be impulsive, let me talk to him."

These two.

Were none other than Zuo Yang and Gu Tian.

As fate would have it.

After encountering each other deep within the Barbaric Wilderness Forest, they first fought, then accidentally discovered each other's identities, and decided to travel together, only returning today.

Upon returning to Fengwu Academy.

They learned of Gu Han's journey to the secret realm.

And...

The fact that he was being hunted with a bounty of millions of Yuan Crystals by two families.

Unaware of the secret realm's situation, they assumed Gu Han hadn't returned and naturally sought out Old Mu first, demanding he remove the bounty.

However.

Old Mu adamantly refused.

This provoked Gu Tian's demonic nature, nearly destroying the place.

"Old Mu."

Zuo Yang, looking weary and stained with blood, spoke sincerely, "To you, this is a trivial matter. Can't we discuss it further?"

As he spoke.

He placed a large hand on the dagger at his waist, rubbing it incessantly.

Gu Tian also stared at Old Mu, demonic flames surging around him, ready to act if he dared refuse.

Old Mu's eyelid twitched.

Discuss?

Why are you touching your dagger!

Is this the attitude for a good discussion?

He instinctively felt.
