Chapter 512: Not Daring to Make a Rash Move

Trying to scout for information and plant spies on someone else’s turf was easier said than done.

After all, the people of Spirit Sword Valley were no pushovers. They were a renowned Major Sect in the Martial Arts Realm.

「The main hall of Spirit Sword Valley.」

“Vice Valley Master, this is bad! We’ve spotted many Martial Cultivators from unknown Sects at the foot of the mountain,” someone reported.

“What kind of clothes are they all wearing?” the Vice Valley Master asked.

“They’re all wearing historical-style clothing,” the person replied.

“It’s the weekend. They’re probably just some historical fashion enthusiasts. We get these youngsters coming here to take pictures and sightsee all the time,” an Elder of Spirit Sword Valley said.

“The thing is, there are a lot of them—over a hundred by a conservative estimate. And they’re all carrying swords! Most importantly, they’re all women,” that person continued.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the main hall grew tense.

This was basically confirmation that they were Martial Cultivators.

“Did you take any photos!” the Vice Valley Master asked again.

“Yes, we did,” the person replied.

Then, the photos were sent to the Vice Valley Master.

When everyone saw them, looks of horror immediately appeared in their eyes.

“The people from the Celestial Sword Sect!” Everyone quickly recognized who the women were.

“The Celestial Sword Sect dares to target our Spirit Sword Valley? Why don’t we just go and take them out?” someone suggested.

“No, not yet. We don’t know their true strength. Acting rashly could be dangerous. What if it’s an ambush they’ve set up?” the Vice Valley Master said.

Her face was ashen, and her heart pounded in her chest. The truth was, she had no confidence.

After all, her own Valley Master and the other Vice Valley Master had vanished without a trace, which basically meant they’d met with disaster.

Therefore, every decision she made now could determine the very survival of Spirit Sword Valley.

She had to be cautious and couldn’t afford to make a single mistake.

Clearly, these people were overthinking things and had too many reservations.

Right now, Bai Han’s group was only led by a single cultivator at the Martial Arts Peak Realm. If the people from Spirit Sword Valley attacked at this moment, Bai Han and her group would surely be defeated, and the outcome would be tragic.

After all, this was Spirit Sword Valley’s main stronghold, filled with numerous experts. Bai Han’s group of just over a hundred was practically serving themselves up on a platter.

Their main force, Chu Feng, had yet to arrive.

“Be careful and don’t get any closer for now. The people from Spirit Sword Valley have definitely spotted you,” Chu Feng informed them.

“They’ve spotted us? Doesn’t that mean we’re exposed?” Bai Han said worriedly.

“It’s fine. So what if they’ve spotted you? Just wait for me to get there. The Chu Family is sending people too,” Chu Feng said, perfectly calm.

The people of Spirit Sword Valley might be strong, but to Chu Feng, they were nothing special.

If he ran into them, he’d take them out directly.

“Okay, then please get here soon. Without you to hold the line, we’re worried,” Bai Han said.

All by herself, she was genuinely afraid that if the enemy decided to charge down the mountain, her group of over a hundred would certainly be annihilated.

“Don’t worry. This time, you’ll be the main offensive force, and I’ll support you. When the time comes, you can even learn Spirit Sword Valley’s Charm Skill, Bai Han.”

“By then, your Charm Skill will be the best in the world, Bai Han, completely unparalleled,” Chu Feng said with a smile.

“Stop talking nonsense and get over here. Delays breed trouble,” Bai Han said sternly.

“I’m on my way. But they won’t dare to touch you. They’re probably up on their mountain, trembling in fear right now,” Chu Feng said with a laugh.

After all, Spirit Sword Valley’s recent losses had been immense, so they definitely wouldn’t dare to act rashly.

A short while later, Chu Feng received a call from Chu Tianshan, who told him that he had already rendezvoused with Bai Han and the others.

Now, everyone was waiting for him.

Meanwhile, on Celestial Break Mountain, tourists grew extremely curious as they spotted men and women in all sorts of historical clothing, carrying various weapons.

‘Is there some kind of historical-themed event or convention going on here? But we didn’t see any notices or advertisements.’

At this time, there was an outdoor streamer in the crowd.

This guy always liked to stream from popular tourist spots, claiming it showed authenticity.

His whole brand was built around being “real,” so every time he went live, he could pull in significant traffic. At his peak, he even had hundreds of thousands of concurrent viewers.

At this very moment, the guy was live.

“Alright, folks, this time we’ve come to the famous local landmark, Celestial Break Mountain! Do you know why I brought you all here?”

“It’s because deep within Celestial Break Mountain, there’s a place called Spirit Sword Valley. Legend has it that this Spirit Sword Valley is the home of a hidden Martial Arts Sect.”

“And, according to the information I’ve gathered, these Martial Arts Sects are incredibly powerful—they can even fly! Of course, who knows if any of that is true or false. So today, I’m going to take you all to find out for ourselves.”

“I know a secret path that’s said to lead directly to Spirit Sword Valley. I’m going to take you all to see this legendary Sect!”

The guy spun this tale for his viewers, making it all sound incredibly mysterious. Anyone who didn’t know better would have thought it was all real.

By around 9:30, Chu Feng had arrived at Celestial Break Mountain.
