Maximum Comprehension: Taking Care of Swords In A Sword Pavilion

On the training ground of the Nine Mysteries Dao sect.

Wu Quan and others bowed their bodies and stood in the middle, while Daoist Hu Yu had his hands behind his back, his face gloomy.

“Humph, just because Han Muye modified the offensive skills, you start cultivating them?”

“Our Nine Mysteries Dao’s Gentle Breeze Twelve Forms has been passed down for how many years? Do you think it can be changed so easily?”

It wasn’t just Daoist Hu Yu who was furious; Zeng He, Wu Mingjue, and others also had serious expressions.

To rashly modify the sect’s inherited cultivation techniques, if it were someone else, they would be directly captured and tortured by now, to see if there was any conspiracy behind it, or if there was collusion with other sects.

But Daoist Hu Yu knew Han Muye’s identity, as did Wu Mingjue and the rest.

Was this predecessor who had awoken from who knows how many thousands of years ago still holding onto the mindset that he was an expert, a powerful figure from the past?

Ancestors, the times have changed!

“Elder Ancestor, I think that the combat skills taught by Uncle-Master are actually more… No, they are somewhat useful,” Wu Quan wanted to say ‘stronger,’ but thought better of it and corrected himself.

He was afraid that Daoist Hu Yu would kill him with a palm strike.

“Useful?” Daoist Hu Yu glared, looking at Wu Quan, and waved his hand: “Su Jinxiang, come, let him understand how the Gentle Breeze Twelve Forms should really be cultivated.”

Hearing Daoist Hu Yu’s words, a Third Generation Disciple standing by stepped forward.

He was the strongest among the Third Generation, having stepped into the Rebirth Realm for about a year or so.

Of course, his cultivation was already much stronger than the other Third Generation Disciples who had not yet entered the Rebirth Realm.

“Junior Brother, respect for the sect’s heritage is paramount,” said Su Jinxiang, as he raised his hand and struck out a punch towards Wu Quan’s chest.

The Clear Winds and Bright Clouds from within the Gentle Breeze Twelve Forms.

This punch was both offensive and defensive, a commonly used tactic among the Twelve Forms.

However, in Su Jinxiang’s hands, this strike brought a whistling of the wind and the power of the punch was already a thousand pounds.

If it hit, Wu Quan’s breastbone would surely break.

Su Jinxiang wanted to teach Wu Quan a lesson, as well as to deter the group of Third Generation Disciples.

Seeing Su Jinxiang’s half-clenched hand striking, Wu Quan subconsciously raised his hand, palm lifted, the Cloud Catching the Clear Wind move blocked Su Jinxiang’s punch.

His palm flipped up, grabbing Su Jinxiang’s arm, the second move, Caressing Willows with the Wind, pushed out instantly.

This two-move combination and transformation had already been well practiced over the past few days.

With a pull of his palm, Su Jinxiang lost his footing and was thrown a dozen feet away, tumbling to the ground.

This scene stunned everyone present.

“Heh, heh heh…” Wu Quan looked at his hands and then at the top Third Generation Disciple, his face covered with a silly, blank smile.

Zeng He and others’ eyes gleamed brightly.

“Wu Mingjue, go tell Han Muye, if he does not wish to cultivate within Nine Mysteries Dao, he can leave.”

Daoist Hu Yu harrumphed coldly and then looked at Wu Quan and the others: “The same goes for you.”

After saying this, he turned and walked away.

Watching Daoist Hu Yu leave, several Second Generation Disciples looked at each other and shook their heads.

The combat skills modified by Han Muye were indeed stronger than the original Gentle Breeze Twelve Forms, but could the sect’s heritage really be so easily changed?

“I’ll go find Junior Brother,” said Wu Mingjue as he left for the courtyard where Han Muye resided.

Unfortunately, Han Muye was in seclusion, and Wu Mingjue did not dare to barge in.

But these Second Generation Disciples, taking advantage of teaching cultivation techniques and combat skills, had already observed the six forms of boxing modified by Han Muye several times and learned them quite thoroughly.

Especially the variations within them, when executed by their hands, were far stronger than those of the Third Generation Disciples.

“Uncle-Master, it seems it’s not that simple…” Zeng He practiced the boxing method, murmuring softly to himself.

Not far away, standing on the corridor with his hands behind his back, Daoist Hu Yu watched with a cold face, not uttering a word.

“Boom—”

From the direction of the main gate, a sound came.

“Elder Ancestor, the Qin Family, people of the Qin Family are rushing up the mountain!”

“Elder Ancestor, the people of the Qin Family have smashed our Nine Mysteries Dao’s gate!”

Several disciples who were guarding the mountain gate came in panic, their faces all in turmoil.

The Qin Family?

Daoist Hu Yu frowned.

Weren’t they just here to collect the spirit field rent, is there a need to be so fierce?

The Qin Family, now, seemed increasingly unwilling to give face or a way out to these cultivator sects.

Unfortunately, even if the Qin Family smashed the gate of Nine Mysteries Dao, he really had no way to deal with them.

With a heavy sigh, Daoist Hu Yu straightened his clothes, then hastened towards the direction of the mountain gate.

Other disciples quickly followed him.

As everyone just walked out of the gate, there was already a group of Qin Family cultivators rushing up the stone steps toward them.

Daoist Hu Yu saw the dozen or so Qin Family cultivators and was slightly taken aback.

Was this grand display necessary just to collect rent?

Could it be that the Qin Family intended to take back the spiritual fields?

This thought weighed heavily on his heart.

However, in a flash, he plastered a smile on his face and went to meet the approaching group.

“Greetings, Daoist friends from the Qin Family, what a rare—”

Before he could finish, the leading elder from the Qin Family, a man in his fifties, raised his hand, and a surge of green Source Power collided towards him.

They’re attacking directly?

Does the Qin Family intend to annihilate the Nine Mysteries Dao?

Daoist Hu Yu’s expression changed drastically as he manifested the power of the fifth level of the Rebirth Realm and threw a punch at the incoming Source Power.

“Boom—”

He took a step back as his Daoist robe fluttered.

The onrushing elder halted in his steps, fixing his gaze on Daoist Hu Yu.

“Daoist Hu Yu, it’s clear now that your Nine Mysteries Dao seeks to rebel.”

“Do you wish to fight to the death with my Qin Family?”

What did he mean?

Weren’t they the ones who struck first?

Feeling indignant inside, Daoist Hu Yu dared not burst out in anger; he could only bow respectfully, “Daoist Qin Yue, to react like this over a few days delay in the Spirit Field Rent, isn’t that a bit too much?”

Spirit Field Rent?

Daoist Hu Yu’s remark made the Qin Family elder widen his eyes.

Who the hell mentioned anything about Spirit Field Rent to you?

Isn’t it your sect that’s trying to extort from the Qin Family, even going so far as to injure our people?

The two glared at each other, power surging around them.

“Fifth Uncle, you must seek justice for us—it was they, people from Nine Mysteries Dao, who injured us and destroyed our cultivation!” came a voice from the back of the Qin Family group, instantly elevating the already tense atmosphere to the verge of explosion.

“Today, my Qin Family will annihilate the Nine Mysteries Dao to avenge our people!” Qin Yue roared, his power manifesting the illusionary image of a mythical beast.

This was a strength possessed only by those at the fifth level of the Rebirth Realm.

Source Power could now externalize into illusionary forms.

“Injured Qin Family members?” Daoist Hu Yu was taken aback, turning to look around him.

“Daoist Qin Yue, could there be some sort of misunderstanding?”

“We had been to the Abandoned Mine to collect Source Stones and only returned yesterday.”

These words left Qin Yue momentarily stunned as well.

“It was your Nine Mysteries Dao’s people.”

“Steward Jin took some men to cut some spiritual grain to feed the horses for the Third Master, and they injured Steward Jin.”

“We detained their disciples, and then your people came and injured the Seventeenth and Nineteenth Masters.”

“The Nine Mysteries Dao is truly ruthless!”

Two young members of the Qin Family stepped forward to lament.

Qin Yue’s brow furrowed deeply.

This time the Qin Family’s experts had responded to a call for help and rushed here; upon seeing the injuries of Qin Dangwu and Qin Zhengyao, they were furious and came directly to settle scores with the Nine Mysteries Dao.

Now listening to this, it seemed like their Qin Family members struck first?

Using spiritual grain to feed horses, is that what people do?

Meanwhile, Daoist Hu Yu’s expression darkened.

“Heh, do you really think the Nine Mysteries Dao is so easily bullied?”

Daoist Hu Yu coldly shouted, raising his hand and sending forth a golden light that soared as a radiant beam into the sky.

“The Nine Mysteries Dao has its own powerful backers.”

“Wait until our reinforcements arrive, and you, people from the Qin Family, will have more than you can handle!”
