Mu Huanzhi had never faced Mu Xuanyin so furious before. His old face turned pale in an instant. He knelt down with a plop and said in a trembling voice: "Master...Master, please calm down. Huanzhi never meant that. It's just...it's just...Huanzhi knows he is wrong. Master, please forgive me!"
Mu Bingyun opened her lips slightly, wanting to say something but stopping herself. She realized that Mu Xuanyin was clearly really angry.
The first to go and the last to go, with Sword Lord's strength, status and seniority, no one would have any objection if he went first... However, it was one thing for Ice Phoenix to take the initiative to give way, but what Sword Lord's descendant Jun Xilei did was clearly that he did not take the Ice Phoenix Sect seriously, and Jun Wuming just let it go.
If it were any other sect in the middle star realm, there would be no dissatisfaction or resistance, let alone anger. At most, there would be a little discomfort, because that was the Sword Sovereign. Mu Huanzhi's behavior was normal in the eyes of almost everyone.
However, at this moment, it was Mu Xuanyin who was present. Mu Bingyun was not surprised that she would get angry, but she never expected that she would explode in front of the Sword Master.
Jun Wuming's brows were furrowed. He glanced at Mu Xuanyin's cold eyes and asked, "What does King Xuanyin mean by this?"
The tone was indifferent, but also had a hint of coldness. Jun Xilei beside him also turned around, with a look of surprise on her face at first, but then a look of indifference.
Mu Xuanyin responded coldly: "Senior, your disciple has disrespected and offended my Ice Phoenix, which is an unforgivable offense, but for your sake, I will not pursue it. Please take your disciples back and let me, Ice Phoenix, go first!"
Jun Wuming had no expression on his face. He looked directly at Mu Xuanyin and said calmly, "If I don't retreat, what will you do?"
As soon as those few calm and indifferent words came out, everyone in the Ice Phoenix Divine Sect felt a jolt in their hearts, but no one dared to speak out, not even to breathe, as a deep sense of uneasiness filled their bodies.
The Sword Lord, Jun Wuming, was a legend in the entire God Realm, a truly godlike existence. Although their patriarch, Mu Xuanyin, was powerful enough to look down upon the common people, he was far inferior to the Sword Lord in terms of profound strength, fame, and status. If he got angry... the consequences would be unimaginable, and I dare not imagine!
The already icy snowfield suddenly became even more biting, and the people of the Flame God Realm took a few steps back unconsciously, and were also silent. The four words "What are you going to do?" came out of the Sword Lord's mouth, extremely plain, but every word was like the sky suppressing them, making them breathless.
Facing Jun Wuming at this moment, Mu Xuanyin's response shocked everyone to the point of almost having their hearts burst.
“Jun Wuming,” Mu Xuanyin called him by his name. “You are a senior in the God Realm, and you are a guest who has come from afar. I, the Ice Phoenix, should respect you and honor you. I have come from afar, and I have given you enough respect and honor. I have not done anything to let you down. But your disciple insulted me, the Ice Phoenix, and as his master, you not only did not stop him, but you also did not feel guilty at all!”
"Just because I, Bing Huang, respect you, your master and your disciple, doesn't mean you, your master and your disciple, have the right to look down on me, Bing Huang!"
"I'll say this one last time, back off! Don't be so shameless!"
The tone was calm at first, but the last sentence was cold and decisive.
It was as if a huge pot lid was covering the sky, and the entire snowy area was so suppressed that even the sound of falling snow could not be heard.
"Sect...Sect Master." Mu Tanzhi was terrified, his voice trembling. Mu Huanzhi, who was still kneeling on the ground, also raised his head suddenly, his lips trembling, wanting to speak but not daring to.
"Hiss! What's going on? Is this woman crazy?" Huo Rulie's eyes widened and his teeth were bared.
Yan Juehai frowned and whispered, “Mu Xuanyin’s temperament has always been like this, overbearing and domineering, yet extremely protective of her shortcomings…”
“It doesn’t matter how powerful she is in front of the Snow Song Realm and us, but she is the Sword Master!” Huo Rulie almost couldn’t help but roar.
“Alas.” Yan Juehai sighed, “Mu Xuanyin is indeed a little… this time it’s hard to end this.”
"Master..." Jun Xilei frowned and was about to speak, but Jun Wuming raised his hand and she took a step back, her beautiful face still cold.
Jun Wuming was not angry at all. Even the slight anger he had felt before had completely disappeared. He looked up and sighed with compassion: "Master Xuanyin, you are extremely talented. You can become a Divine Lord in this barren land. I was very impressed by you back then. I even believed that in another 20,000 or 30,000 years, you might be able to reach my current level."
"Now it seems that you are too young and your vision is too narrow."
Jun Wuming's voice was heard slowly, carried a hundred miles away by the wind and snow. Every word was as ethereal as a maxim of heaven: "What is dignity? In this world, strength is the only dignity. In my eyes, everyone in the Snow Song Realm except you, the Realm King of Xuanyin, is an ant. Even an old disciple of mine can despise you. And even if I... insult you, the Ice Phoenix, what can you do?"
He was the Sword Master, so how could he possibly show weakness to a mere Yin Xue? In his eyes, Mu Xuanyin's words and actions were nothing but childish and ridiculous.
“Jun Wuming, since you are so shameless, then I don’t need to be respectful or polite to you anymore.” Mu Xuanyin’s voice became fainter, and there was no anger in her. She turned her eyes to the side and said to Yun Che, “Che’er, come here.”
Yun Che was startled, then he walked over as he was told and stood beside Mu Xuanyin.
Mu Xuanyin reached out and took Yun Che's wrist. On the back of his hand, there were several shallow scars, accompanied by traces of blood. These were all caused by the sword energy shot by Jun Xilei earlier. If it weren't for Yun Che's strong body, he would never have been injured so lightly.
...Of course, for a Shintoist, this kind of injury, even if it is ten times more serious, is nothing at all, and cannot even be called an "injury".
Mu Xuanyin waved her hand, and with the flick of her snow-white jade fingers, the sword marks and bloodstains on the back of Yun Che’s hand disappeared without a trace.
“You have offended my sect and hurt my disciples, so let’s settle this account.” Mu Xuanyin’s eyes were cold and gloomy. “Jun Wuming, let your disciple Jun Xilei kneel down and apologize to my disciple, and then you and your disciple will get out of Snow Yin immediately. Without my permission, you are not allowed to step into Snow Yin again!”
From the Ice Phoenix Divine Sect to the Three Flame Divine Sects, all the disciples and elders were petrified. Huo Rulie's eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and he kept muttering, "It's over, it's over. This woman is really crazy... Don't let Yun boy get involved."
Jun Xilei glanced at Yun Che with her beautiful eyes, and then looked away the next moment, still as cold and indifferent as before, without any anger in her eyes, as if she had only heard meaningless words, and her pupils instead had a hint of mockery.
“Alas.” Jun Wuming sighed again, and this time, his sigh seemed to be filled with deep disappointment. Then he smiled faintly: “I have been wandering around the worlds for many years, just looking for a successor. It seems that the Wuming Sword has not been produced for thousands of years, so some ignorant younger generations have forgotten my reputation.”
His voice suddenly turned cold, and the wind and snow between heaven and earth suddenly stopped. The space condensed layer by layer, and a vast voice seemed to come from the sky: "So what if I despise you? So what if I insult you? You are just a mere Snow Chanting Ice Phoenix. But the Sword Master cannot be insulted, and neither can the Sword Master's successor!"
clang!
Above Jun Wuming, in the sealed space, three pale sword auras suddenly appeared.
The three sword auras were only half a foot long and as thick as two fingers.
The moment the three sword auras appeared, Yun Che’s heart suddenly “skipped”. As a sword wielder, he could not feel the aura of these three sword auras at all. Whether it was his body or his spiritual sense, he could not sense even a trace of sharpness or pressure… In fact, the entire world no longer had the slightest aura, as if everything in the world had turned into deathly silence under the invisible sword power.
"Senior Sword Master, please calm down and listen to what I have to say..."
Huo Rulie shouted in a hurry, but was restrained by Yan Juehai, who shook his head at him. Huo Rulie gritted his teeth, his eyes met Huo Poyun and the surrounding Jinwu disciples, and finally he endured it and said nothing.
“Master!” Everyone in the Ice Phoenix sect turned pale. Yun Che subconsciously took a half step forward, wanting to block in front of Mu Xuanyin, but was grabbed by Mu Xuanyin’s snow-white hand and pushed behind him.
"You are worthy of it!?"
Facing the three pale sword auras, as everyone’s pupils shrank in shock, Mu Xuanyin slowly stepped forward.
In the first step, a faint "reminder" sound was heard in the air, as if it was there and not there.
In the second step, Jun Wuming's pupils suddenly shrank slightly.
The third step… Mu Xuanyin stopped there. The snowstorm that had completely stagnated began to sway again, and flakes of snow fell on her icy hair and fairy body. He was obsessed with her elegance and was unwilling to dissipate and melt for a long time.
Yun Che stared at her back in amazement as she was so close to him. He gradually became dazed and for a moment he almost forgot the existence of the three terrifying sword auras.
"you……"
Jun Wuming seemed to want to speak, but after one word came out of his mouth, he could not make any more sound. His arm, which he had just raised, slowly dropped down. If someone was looking at him directly at this moment, they would notice that his lips were trembling slightly... although it was only for a moment.
When Jun Wuming's arms dropped completely, the three sword auras also completely disappeared.
"Forget it." It was the same sigh, but the tone was obviously different. He looked at Mu Xuanyin deeply, turned his back, and said with a breath that was light and full of tears: "Lei'er, let's go."
"Master?" Jun Xilei looked puzzled, but then immediately obeyed: "Yes!"
This unexpected scene surprised everyone in the Ice Phoenix Sect, and at the same time, they all breathed a sigh of relief, especially the Palace Masters and Elders, who were sweating profusely as they relaxed.
Master and disciple Jun Wuming and Jun Xilei turned and left. The three pale sword auras proved Jun Wuming's anger. The five words "Sword Master cannot be insulted" were also the words of judgment spoken by Jun Wuming himself. But he suddenly put away his sword aura and anger and turned and left...
As everyone's hearts were experiencing ups and downs, they all felt a sense of confusion.
"Huh!" Huo Rulie breathed a sigh of relief: "After all, he is Senior Jianjun. He is indeed very well-mannered. Or maybe he just doesn't want to attack a junior woman?"
“…I’m afraid it’s not that simple.” Yan Juehai said slowly, his voice a little vague.
"What do you mean?" Huo Rulie asked puzzledly.
"..." Yan Juehai did not speak. He did not look at Jun Wuming and his disciple. Instead, his flaming eyes were staring directly at Mu Xuanyin, his gaze flickering.
"stop!"
Just as everyone in the Ice Phoenix sect breathed a sigh of relief, a cold voice pierced the departing Jun Wuming master and disciple, causing everyone's heart to suddenly rise again... because this voice came from Mu Xuanyin.
“You offended me first, then you acted arrogantly, and now you want to leave in such a swagger?” Mu Xuanyin said coldly, “How can such a good thing happen in this world! Do you really think that I, the Ice Phoenix, can be bullied at will?!”
Jun Wuming paused. Before he could speak, Jun Xilei turned around angrily and said, "Mu Xuanyin! My master is too dignified to argue with you. You..."
"presumptuous!"
With a cold rebuke, Mu Xuanyin did not make any move. Suddenly, the sky was filled with wind and snow. Jun Xilei screamed and flew out, falling heavily into the snow. Before she could get up, she had already vomited several mouthfuls of blood.
Five blood-red fingerprints were clearly imprinted on her cheek.
