Quick Transmigration: The Divine-Looking Host is Always Pampered by a Powerful Boss
Chapter 511 Wandering Swordsman 15
After a brief moment of leisure and entertainment, Chu Zhuo's attitude immediately turned serious. He compared each move with the steps of the Nine Heavens Technique he had memorized, and the tip of his sword slashed through the sky, forming an invisible force.
A hidden current shimmered in the air. Chu Zhuo loosened his grip, and the longsword fell with his weight. In less than a breath, he braced his instep against the blade and kicked upwards.
The sword was back in his hand.
Chu Zhuo gripped the sword hilt with his right hand, the sharp blade held between his left fingers. He brought his arm back, the sword pressed against his chest, the other end of the blade aimed at his neck. Startled, he used his inner strength to leap up and back, as if he had gone mad and lost control.
But Yingming knew it wasn't true.
The key to breaking through between the fourth and fifth levels lies in putting yourself in a do-or-die situation.
Ying Ming focused all his attention on Chu Zhuo, and would intervene whenever the other party went too far.
Despite these thoughts, he had confidence in Chu Zhuo and sat calmly on the round stool, his eyes overflowing with tenderness.
Chu Zhuo kept retreating, dodging, and evading, vaguely figuring out a trick. He suddenly dropped to the ground, his body nimbly rotating 180 degrees. His mountain-green robes fluttered, the hem of his brocade robe flipped up a corner, and then he slowly and steadily landed. His straight and well-proportioned long legs kicked and pulled back, appearing and disappearing.
The treetops around him rustled, and a faint airflow barrier formed around him in all directions.
Chu Zhu loosened the fingers of his left hand, straightened his right arm, and thrust the long sword forward, as if breaking through a barrier—whoosh!
The airflow he created, he then personally cleaved through.
The reflective blade cast his own image on the sword. Chu Zhuo took a breath, casually wiping the sweat from his brow, and then excitedly waved to Ying Ming, saying, "Ying Ming, I've figured out a bit of the trick to the fifth level!"
The young man enthusiastically shared his progress with his lover, his bright and lively eyes, delicate features, and radiant spirit made him both handsome and flamboyant.
This intense emotion traveled with the air, and Yingming felt an equal surge of love in his chest, a warm current flowing through his heart and lungs. He looked up at the other person and said, "Well, given Zhuobao's level of comprehension, a breakthrough should be just around the corner in the next few days."
Several days passed, and the weather grew colder and colder, with the desolation of winter permeating the entire martial arts world.
Chu Zhuo successfully learned the fifth level of the Nine Heavens Technique of Wind and Cloud.
The first two levels were very simple, like drinking water. The third level suddenly became much more difficult, but it wasn't too hard for Chu Zhuo. He steadily progressed with this body and has now mastered the fifth level.
Just after the Minor Cold solar term, the tense pace of the meeting was suddenly disrupted by rumors that had spread from somewhere.
It is said that Lin Weiqu, the eldest disciple of the Sword Forging Manor, harbors evil intentions and pretends to accept the invitation to come down the mountain, but in reality intends to replace the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance.
He appears to be a man of high moral character, but in reality, he is a complete hypocrite.
Upon hearing this rumor, Alliance Leader Du quickly gathered everyone and solemnly declared, "I believe that Young Hero Lin is not that kind of person."
After Du finished speaking, he noticed that some of the people below were looking away, clearly having their own thoughts. He felt a chill in his heart and a silent shiver ran through him.
The martial arts alliance is a gathering place for heroes and chivalrous individuals from all directions. It's normal for them to have their own ideas, but I never expected that a mere rumor of unknown origin would cause such unrest among them.
Chu Zhuo glanced around at them. He guessed that Alliance Leader Du had already made up his mind about the few people who showed obvious signs of trouble. When Alliance Leader Du spoke, Chu Zhuo carefully observed them from all directions, and made a note of a few faces that did not show much change in expression, but subtly revealed something unusual.
With many thoughts in mind, Chu Zhuo said loudly, "Since the Sword Forging Manor joined the campaign against the Blood Fiend Sect, everyone has witnessed the actions of my senior brothers and sisters. All heroes and valiant men, do not be provoked by those with unclear intentions."
In the timeline, a cult lurking in the shadows is stirring, and the martial arts alliance is riddled with treacherous individuals. Beset on all sides, it is exploited, leading to an irreversible situation and its instant collapse.
Chu Zhuo had taken precautions this time, and this was a good opportunity to eliminate the villains hiding in the shadows.
The boy was only seventeen years old. He stood there with a resolute expression, speaking sincerely. His light-colored eyes shone brightly, and the persuasive power in them made people listen intently.
Ren Fengping glanced at everyone discreetly: "What Junior Brother said is exactly our stance."
Guan Shuangge declared loudly, "Everyone, Sword Forging Manor and the Martial Alliance stand together through thick and thin."
Fan Moyun clasped his hands together, his knuckles cracking as he spoke, a mix of threat and goodwill: "Junior Brother is naturally naive, and Senior Brother is gentle and easy to talk to, but that's no reason for some people to hold a grudge. If you're not convinced, feel free to come and fight."
After Qiao Yanyin and her fellow disciples had finished speaking, she said with a half-smile, "Those who have spent time with our senior brother should have a general understanding of his character. I can't stop you from thinking what you want. If you have any complaints, it's good to speak up. Timely communication is more effective than keeping it to yourself."
Lin Weiqu nodded slightly: "Alliance Leader Du need not worry. The rumors will not affect the relationship between Sword Casting Manor and the Martial Alliance. My name is Lin Weiqu, which comes from the saying 'How can the water be so clear? It is because there is a source of living water. If the clear cannot be clear, I have my own considerations."
They spoke in turn, starting with the youngest junior disciple and moving on to the person at the center of the incident, clearly demonstrating the distinct stance of the Sword Forging Manor.
The leader of the Xiaoyao Sect said, "Alliance Leader Du is a man of great wisdom and righteousness. The six young heroes of the Sword Forging Manor also met here out of chivalry. We will not be easily swayed. The Martial Alliance's primary task is to eradicate the Blood Fiend Sect. Everything else will be postponed."
The people below stood up and echoed the words of the leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect.
However, only they themselves know what they are really thinking.

At night, Chu Zhu changed into black clothes and used the Wind and Cloud Nine Heavens Technique to conceal his figure before going to the courtyard of the people he had sensed were acting strangely during the day.
The people from Wanlai Valley were fine for the time being, so we went to the second place, Huanlei Pavilion, which seemed to be acting strangely.
Chu Zhuo held his breath and concentrated.
Ying Ming, standing nearby, spread his internal energy, increasing the area of effect to weaken the presence of the two.
Through the dark tiles, one could vaguely hear something about a failed plan; one should continue listening...
With few useful clues, Chu Zhuo tiptoed away once the sounds inside had subsided.
A few days later, the person who spread the rumors was found.
The man insisted that he couldn't stand Lin Weiqu's pretentious behavior and thought Lin Weiqu was hypocritical; he just wanted everyone to see Lin Weiqu's true character.
Fan Moyun loosened his collar and threw him to the ground: "I will report this matter to the Alliance Leader and make a decision."
The servant's expression subtly revealed smugness. So what if he was the leader of the alliance? That man had given him a large sum of money, enough for him to leave the leader's mansion and live outside.
Inside the council hall, Alliance Leader Du's gaze was like a knife as he looked at the servant who was being held on the ground.
"Where has the Alliance Leader's Mansion wronged you? How dare you spread such rumors?" Alliance Leader Du was furious. He hadn't expected that the instigator was a traitor within his own ranks.
The servant, emboldened, said, "The Alliance Leader's Mansion hasn't mistreated me, but they haven't done me any favors either. Since the people from the Sword Forging Manor arrived, they haven't contributed anything, yet they've enjoyed unparalleled treatment. I can't stand it!"
Anyway, it's just a rumor, and he hasn't done anything heinous. Leader Du is kind-hearted and won't kill him for this.
Anyone with eyes could see that he had someone backing him, but he stubbornly refused to admit it. Just as Alliance Leader Du was about to try to pry him open, Qiao Yanyin stopped him: "Alliance Leader, since my senior brother is fine, let's just let it go. However, he will not escape punishment, and the Alliance Leader's mansion probably can't afford to hire such a traitorous servant."
Leader Du immediately understood her meaning. After feigning hesitation, he ordered the servant to be thrown out of the leader's mansion as punishment.
For several days, everyone seemed to have forgotten about the incident, and the person behind the scenes couldn't help but relax.
That day, Chu Zhu followed the servant out, and after many twists and turns, they caught him red-handed at a restaurant.
The servant's face was filled with terror.
Meanwhile, Peng Shan on the other end unconsciously appeared flustered.
The situation has now become clear: Peng Shan was escorted back to the Alliance Leader's Mansion, but unexpectedly, she was intercepted by a group of unknown individuals on the way.
Those people came prepared, their strategy being to cast a long line to catch a big fish. They went with the flow, pretending they hadn't caught up, and angrily swung their fists, saying, "I'll catch you again sooner or later."
He then brought the news back to the Martial Arts Alliance.
When Alliance Leader Du learned of this result, he wasn't particularly disappointed, since he hadn't expected it in the first place.
Peng Shan's affair was exposed, and the servant was arrested and taken back to the leader's mansion.
The interrogation was conducted personally by Alliance Leader Du.
