Da Xuan Martial Saint-Chapter 379 - 256 Let Chen Mu Come

Yu County.

An Yu County.

Amid the uneven hills, rows of collapsed earthen houses and buildings could be seen as if they had just experienced a disaster.

Not long ago, the Huanglin mountain range to the north had experienced an earthquake disaster, affecting hundreds of miles in the vicinity. Although people in this world were not accustomed to various disasters, they each had their coping strategies, whether it was repairing buildings or transporting resources, and order was maintained.

Looking further, scattered villages between these locations also had personnel from the Demon-Slaying Office and the Inspectorate patrolling; partly to maintain order and partly to control the various demons that emerged in unrest because of the natural disaster.

Far away.

Approximately a hundred li away, the Huanglin mountain range was bustling with activity.

An earthquake was also a type of unique disaster that often lead to the earth’s fissures and the collapse of mountains, bringing forth various kinds of resources.

The nearly hundred li wide Huanglin Mountain Range was quite large. With the eruption of the earthquake, the demons hidden within and beneath the mountains were now in chaos. Some were darting around the mountains while others violently left the mountains to attack the villages.

Located on the periphery of the Huanglin Mountain Range.

"Roar!"

A fierce demon roared, distinctly a Third Rank White Wolf Demon, appearing crazed with visible bloodstains on its body. It suddenly lunged forward, accompanied by a fierce wind, attacking a figure in its path.

The figure, dressed as a White-Clothed Guard of the Demon-Slaying Office, had a curved chest and a slender waist; it was a young woman. However, her demeanor seemed delicate, not quite matching the temperament of her robe.

Hiss.

Seeing the White Wolf Demon attacking, the girl showed no fear. She stood firm on the ground, sword in hand, striking forth.

She stood like a pristine mountain peak, connected to the earth unmoved, while the sword light in her hand flowed like water, containing within it a blend of Sword Momentum from the Kan Water Sect and Gen Mountain Sect, interweaving together.

Swish!

Accompanied by a flash of blood.

The White Wolf Demon’s neck now bore a deep cut, with a large amount of blood spraying out. Its massive body fell heavily to the side, struggled a few times, and finally reached its limit, unable to rise again. Continue your adventure at novelbuddy

At this moment.

From afar, several Green-Clothed Guards hurried over, observing the scene and complimenting the young woman.

"Lord Chen’s swordsmanship is incredibly profound; even the White Wolf Demon is no match for Lord Chen,"

"With such exceptional talents, I think even the Inner Sect Disciples from the Great Sects aren’t as good as Lord Chen by a long shot."

The Green-Clothed Guards looked at the young woman with awe in their eyes.

However, this awe was half due to the young woman’s natural talent and strength, and the other half was due to her background and identity. Although her name might not be well-known, in today’s Yu County, she was someone very few people hadn’t heard of.

Chen Yue!

Protector of the Spirit Profound Peak of Seven Profound Sect, ranked twenty-seventh on the Cold North Wind Cloud List, the sole sister of Qiankun Blade Chen Mu.

In today’s Yu County, she was respected by everyone, apart from the few stationed Great Sects. Even the City Lord Xue Huaikong had to show goodwill towards Chen Yue.

"Quickly take care of this."

Chen Yue sheathed her sword and spoke calmly.

Compared to over two years ago when Chen Mu left Yu County, today’s Chen Yue had grown significantly. Her cultivation in the Body Refining Method had reached Tendon Changing Perfection and was not far from the Bone Tempering, mastering two types of Sword Momentum and various swordsmanship techniques.

Although her appearance was still youthful, there was less naivety in her expression and more a calmness in handling affairs, resembling Hongyu from back then, although not as cold in demeanor as Hongyu.

"Yes."

Several Green-Clothed Guards quickly came over to assist Chen Yue in dealing with the White Wolf Demon’s corpse.

Earthquakes often stirred up the most intense chaos among demons in a "localized" area, but the actual severity of demon troubles triggered by earthquakes was actually much less than some other disasters.

The reason was straightforward—since earthquakes tended to center on a mountain range or similar feature, the emergence of resources would swiftly attract powerful individuals from all directions, who would casually slaughter various demons along the way.

Just like now.

Inside Huanglin Mountain Range, there had long been the presence of those in Bone Tempering Realm and even Five Viscera Realm, in search of resources; the demons were basically suppressed in minutes. As a White-Clothed Guard like Chen Yue, leading a group, operated only around the peripheral area hunting demons.

The White Wolf Demon she encountered just now was the fiercest demon she had faced this half-day, but it was no match for her.

"My lord, there’s a rift in the ground ahead!"

Just as Chen Yue was dealing with the corpse of the White Wolf Demon, suddenly one of the Green-Clothed Guards who had leapt onto a treetop to survey the surroundings called out to her.

Chen Yue was just finishing up the most important part, and upon hearing the Green-Clothed Guard’s report, a glint flashed in her eyes as she said,

"Let’s go have a look."

The heart of the earthquake at Huanglin Mountain Range had the most intense destruction, even causing the collapse of mountaintops; but in the peripheral areas, there could also be rifts formed due to the unrest of Earth’s Veins, potentially concealing treasures below.

Given Chen Yue’s status, ordinary treasures hardly caught her eye, and as for things like White-Clothed Guards and hunting demons, she wouldn’t have to do it if she didn’t want to, as no one could force her. However, having been under Chen Mu’s guidance and teaching over the years, she was well aware that Martial Arts required tempering.

Although she had always been overshadowed by the brilliance of Chen Mu, she also had her own pride; she had trained in the arts for many years to date at Yu Family’s estate, initially to stand on her own to avoid troubling Chen Mu, and later, even more so for self-improvement.
