The events that occurred at the foot of the mountain have left many people feeling uneasy.
However, no one went missing after that, so everyone felt a little relieved. Even so, Tianwu Mountain still issued an order to strengthen the sect's defenses.
After all, they were well aware that most of the sect's experts had left for the front lines, leaving Tianwu Mountain at its weakest point.
If any sect were to attack Tianwu Mountain at this time, although the subsequent punishment from the imperial court would be very severe, Tianwu Mountain might not have the strength to resist.
Nowadays, the entire Tianwu Mountain is basically filled with disciples. Most of the experts who have reached the True Self Realm have already left Tianwu Mountain, as it is too weak.
And so, some time passed, and life seemed to return to normal. One day, Zhou Yan found Qin Wu.
"Senior Brother Qin, I would like to ask you for guidance on swordsmanship."
Qin Wu nodded and then let him demonstrate it once.
After reading it, Qin Wu frowned slightly and said:
"Your swordsmanship has ample spiritual energy, but lacks flexibility. Although swordsmanship is all about unstoppable momentum, a swordsmanship without any room for maneuver will most likely end up destroying yourself."
Hearing Qin Wu's words, Zhou Yan smiled slightly awkwardly, a gesture he was already used to. He had actually heard similar comments many times before, but over the years, he had never been able to change them, so he could only say:
"I know that, but it's really too difficult to change it."
The purpose of my visit is to ask you, senior brother, for guidance on the sword techniques I have recently been learning.
A while ago, I obtained a sword technique from the sect to learn, but after studying it for a while, I found that I couldn't even get the basics right. So I'd like to ask my senior brother for some pointers on the secrets.
Then Zhou Yan took out a sword technique book from his bosom. Qin Wu was slightly stunned when he saw the name of the sword technique. The words "Demon Slayer" were written on the sword technique.
The name didn't reveal anything wrong, but when he opened it, he couldn't help but gasp, looking at Zhou Yan with some surprise, and said:
"Your swordsmanship style is already on the sharp side, and this particular swordsmanship is even more unstoppable. If you learn this kind of swordsmanship, once a problem arises in the future, there will be no turning back, only death."
"I have made such preparations. Senior brother, you may not know, but there are some things I must do. Under these circumstances, I must have great strength to do them, but I am not strong enough right now."
Zhou Yan's eyes were filled with deep resentment, but at the same time, his gaze was very firm.
Conventional sword techniques were no longer sufficient for him; he had to resort to this extreme method to enhance his combat power, because only in this way could he reach his peak.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Qin Wu with envy.
Qin Wu's talent is truly extraordinary. He and Qin Wu entered the sect at the same time. Although Qin Wu was also very powerful at that time, he could still see Qin Wu's upper limit. However, so much time has passed, and Qin Wu has far exceeded his imagination. He doesn't even know if Qin Wu has reached the stage of True Qi Emergence.
He himself had only opened three acupoints. To open all twelve acupoints and enter the realm of true qi, it would be impossible to do so in less than a year.
Such speed would indeed be considered genius by others. After all, very few people in the entire Tianwu Mountain could match his current speed. But for him, it was still too slow, simply not enough.
Everyone has the right to make their own choices.
After hearing his idea, Qin Wu didn't say anything, but simply gave him some pointers on the Demon-Slaying Blade Technique in his hand.
The swordsmanship was fierce, but Qin Wu was not interested in it. His Tiger King Blade had now reached a state of perfection, and he had no need for other sword techniques in the short term.
Therefore, he naturally wouldn't waste his time learning sword techniques at the same level.
If he wanted to learn swordsmanship, he might as well find a more powerful martial art to expand his strength. As for his current Wind Claw, although he had been learning it for some time, he still hadn't reached perfection. This was the difficulty of martial arts at the initial stage of True Qi.
Without the Shadow Leopard Martial Soul, it would be extremely difficult for him to learn the Wind Claw technique.
After teaching Qin Wu martial arts for a while, Zhou Yan hesitated for a moment, then spoke to Qin Wu:
Then Zhou Yan spoke up:
"Many people guess that my brother and I come from the same family, but they probably don't know which family we come from."
Very few people in the entire Tianwu Mountain know about this matter, except for Elder Cang Xuanwu. However, I feel uneasy now, especially after the recent attacks within the sect. I suspect that someone from our family might be behind it.
Upon hearing this, Qin Wu frowned. This was quite different from what he had imagined. He had initially thought that even if there were some problems, it was most likely due to other forces that Tianwu Mountain had offended in the past. After all, Tianwu Mountain had a long history, and it was perfectly normal for it to have some hostile forces under such circumstances.
But he never expected that it would involve Zhou Yan's family. He had heard Meng Qiudie talk about Zhou Yan's family before, and knew that Zhou Yan's family was very special, powerful, and most importantly, Zhou Yan's mother was very likely a member of the demon race.
In the current war between humans and demons, the Chaotic Pass has become the focus of contention between the two sides, and there have even been instances of its members perishing. Even their Tianwu Mountain has fallen from being a top sect in the Great Zhou Dynasty to such a state because it was guarding the Chaotic Pass.
However, he didn't quite understand why this matter was related to Zhou Yan, and then he heard Zhou Yan say:
"The reason we escaped from our family was because we heard some things before we left."
Although I didn't quite understand, based on my guess, the Zhou family might have some connection with the demon race, or perhaps the Zhou family wants to use the demon race to achieve something. But the most crucial element is my brother and me. After thinking about it for a long time, the only thing I can think of is the demon bloodline in my brother and me.
Before I came here, I had already told Elder Cangxuan about my siblings and me. At that time, Elder Cangxuan said that after joining Tianwu Mountain, even if the Zhou family had any ideas, they should not dare to extend their claws to Tianwu Mountain.
However, with the recent chaos at the customs, many powerful figures from Tianwu Mountain have left, which could very well give the Zhou family an opportunity. Therefore, if this was done by someone from the Zhou family, I wouldn't be surprised at all.
Qin Wu frowned; he had already understood Zhou Yan's meaning. If what he said was true, then the possibility of this was indeed quite high. However, what the Zhou family wanted to do with their demon bloodline remained unknown.
"I understand about this matter. It's best not to reveal that you two siblings have demon blood. After all, if this gets out, it could cause a huge uproar in Tianwu Mountain, and not everyone will understand you."
Zhou Yan nodded, which was also the reason why he hadn't brought the matter to light.
They were well aware that if this matter were to be revealed, endless trouble would await the brother and sister, and they might even be forced to leave Tianwu Mountain.
Even if the powerful figures of Tianwu Mountain could accept that the two siblings had demon blood, not all cases could be understood. Tianwu Mountain was now their only refuge, so naturally they wouldn't take such a risk.
Upon learning of this, Qin Wu's heart grew heavy. If the Zhou family appeared at their Tianwu Mountain, it would indeed be a considerable problem for them.
After all, that family is indeed quite powerful. Even in the current situation, it might not be an easy task for Tianwu Mountain to deal with the Zhou family's experts.
Fortunately, the entire Tianwu Mountain is now under martial law, so it won't be so easy for the Zhou family to do anything they want. As long as they don't give the other side a chance, there's naturally nothing to worry about.
A few days later, battle reports came from the front.
Li Lingfeng specially summoned many Tianwu Mountain disciples to the main hall to recount the intelligence from the front lines:
"Everyone, according to the intelligence sent back by the sect leader, many powerful figures have perished in the Battle of Chaos Pass, resulting in heavy losses. After reinforcements from all sides arrived, they engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy."
The demons at Luanhai Pass have now been driven away again, and there shouldn't be any major problems in the short term. However, even so, the sect leader and the others probably won't be able to return anytime soon, and they still need to guard against future demon attacks while waiting for reinforcements from the Great Zhou to take over guarding Luanhai Pass.
Upon hearing this news, many people's expressions brightened. After all, their biggest fear was that the Luanhai Pass would be breached. Once it was breached, the demon race would advance unimpeded and invade the heart of the Great Zhou. At that point, widespread devastation would be inevitable.
At this moment, at the foot of Tianwu Mountain...
A group of people were monitoring the situation at Tianwu Mountain. One of the elders, with a grim expression, spoke up:
"We've already dragged this out for far too long; any further delay won't do us any good. News from the front lines suggests the situation at the customs post has stabilized. This is our last chance."
Upon hearing his words, the expressions of the others turned grim. Then, a middle-aged man spoke up:
"Of course we know this, but the problem is that with our current strength, it is simply impossible for us to take Tianwu Mountain."
"It's impossible to attack them, but we can force them out," the old man said calmly.
Then he continued speaking:
"Those two siblings are very loyal and devoted. Do you think they can still stay on Tianwu Mountain with a clear conscience if we release information about their mother?"
The middle-aged man paused for a moment, then frowned and said:
"If there is news of their mother, it can indeed lure them down."
But the question is, where did we get this information?
This is the heart of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the demon race is more than a thousand miles away. Under these circumstances, even if we spread some false information, the brother and sister would never believe it.
The old man chuckled softly, then continued:
"Do you think I've been idle all this time? Everything has been arranged long ago. Just wait, in a few days, the brother and sister will receive a message from their mother and then rush down the mountain."
All we need to do now is wait for them to come down the mountain and then invite them back. The fate of the Zhou family rests entirely on these two; we cannot give up under any circumstances.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression became excited. He knew, of course, that the old man wouldn't speak without reason; in that case, they would just wait and see.
Just a few days later, a disciple returned from the foot of the mountain, bringing them news:
"I heard that there were signs of demons appearing in Qingshan Town, and they've already been captured. But for some reason, the demon keeps muttering that it wants to find its child."
"They really have some nerve. How could a demon appear here? Could it be that they slipped in during the chaos at the customs? We absolutely cannot let this go. We must deal with it as soon as possible."
"Yes, Qingshan Town isn't far from our Tianwu Mountain, so this time it's our responsibility to do our part. However, capturing that demon won't be easy. From what we know, that fox demon is a six-tailed fox, and it's quite powerful."
"In that case, we should report to the elders as soon as possible."
The disciple who brought back the news did not hide anything and told Li Lingfeng about the situation. However, by this time, news of the demon race's appearance had already spread throughout Tianwu Mountain.
After all, it's extremely rare for demons to appear here, especially a six-tailed fox demon. Even among demons, six-tailed fox demons hold a high status, and their appearance here is a test for the entire Tianwu Mountain.
After all, that could very well mean some dangerous situations that they absolutely cannot accept.
At this time, the Zhou siblings naturally also received the news. After Zhou Qiao'er overheard a senior sister chatting about this matter, her face immediately turned pale:
"A six-tailed fox? Senior sister, are you sure it's a six-tailed fox?"
"Of course it's true. I heard it's a white six-tailed fox spirit, which is extremely rare."
The senior sister smiled and said that although a six-tailed fox demon had appeared, this was still their Tianwu Mountain, so she wasn't too worried. However, she didn't notice Zhou Qiao'er's sudden change in expression.
Zhou Qiao'er disregarded everything else and immediately headed towards Zhou Yan's direction. At that moment, Zhou Yan also received the news.
