The sound of the flute stopped abruptly, and standing at the bow of the small boat, Grand Eunuch Jin Wei put away his flute as he looked at Xiao Se and others in the distance. There was no one rowing that small boat, but it was coming closer and closer to the cedar longboat.

"He can use the internal strength below his feet to drive the boat. Grand Eunuch Jin Wei is really powerful," Lei Wujie exclaimed.

Mu Chunfeng's expression changed. "Grand Eunuch Jin Wei?"

Xiao Se immediately glared at Lei Wujie, and Lei Wujie quickly recovered. If Mu Chunfeng were to find out that they were being pursued by the Five Grand Eunuchs, he might not let them board his ship.

"Is Grand Eunuch Jin Wei your friend? Does he want to board the ship too?" Mu Chunfeng looked happy. "Then this humble ship of mine will be greatly honoured by his presence!"

"No, he’s here to catch me," Xiao Se said suddenly.

Tang Lian and Lei Wujie were startled, thinking that even if Jin Wei's identity was discovered, they didn’t have to give up and just reveal the truth.

"To be honest, my shifu is Jin Xian Gonggong, the Eunuch of Incense of Heavenly Revelations. But, I didn’t want to learn martial arts, and even more so, I didn’t want to be purified and enter the palace. After many disputes, I escaped from Heavenly Revelations. These two are friends whom I met by chance in the martial world. Thanks to them, I was able to escape all the way here. I didn't expect I’m still intercepted in the end." Xiao Se sighed, his tone full of sorrow.

"Forcing someone to learn martial arts is one thing, but to force someone to purify their body? Hearing that just makes me angry," Mu Chunfeng said angrily. "I’ve heard that the Five Grand Eunuchs of Heavenly Revelations are immensely powerful, but I didn’t think they’re so overbearing too. Xiao-xiong, since you’ve boarded my ship, you’re one of us. I will protect you."

Lei Wujie and Tang Lian exchanged a look. They didn’t expect the conclusion to be like that.

"Fetch my sword," Mu Chunfeng said this with great force, but he coughed a few times when he finished speaking. Xiao Se and the other two looked at each other. They didn’t expect that such a weak person had even learned swordsmanship. Furthermore, he was attempting to fight against the Eunuch of Sword for someone. This rich young master had probably never met a real expert of the martial world.

"Gongzi, our three-day agreement is today. Return with me to Heavenly Revelations." Grand Eunuch Jin Wei’s voice came from a distance, sounding rather imposing.

"Return with you? If he returns with you, wouldn’t the gongzi become a gonggong?" Mu Chunfeng snickered and said loudly, "This one is Mu Chunfeng, the third son of the Qingzhou Mu family. We’re going to the open sea on this trip and we have the travel pass. Please give way, Gonggong."

The third son of the Mu family? Grand Eunuch Jin Wei frowned slightly. The Qingzhou Mu family was not someone anybody would dare to offend, but it was a bit ridiculous to use this name to pressure the Five Grand Eunuchs.

"What now?" Tang Lian asked Xiao Se urgently. He knew that even if the head of the Mu family came in person, not to mention there was merely a son of the family here, they would not be able to stop Jin Wei.

Xiao Se thought for a bit and said, "We’ll have to fight."

Tang Lian lowered his voice and said, "I’m not afraid to fight, but we may expose our identities."

Xiao Se also replied just as softly, "Don't use hidden weapons. Lei Wujie too, don’t use your explosives. Don’t use all your skills at once, and hide some of your abilities. This trip into the open sea is far and long and we don’t know what else we may face. Let’s not show our aces until the last moment."

"Please give my regards to our worthy brother, Mu Changsong, on my behalf," Jin Wei Gonggong replied. The name he called was that of the head of the Mu family, and he also used the term worthy brother. He was obviously able to go over the Mu family. He paused then added, "One of your guests on the boat secretly escaped from his home. I must insist on taking him back. Please, our worthy nephew, do not be offended."

Mu Chunfeng shook his sleeves. "What if I refuse to let you take him away?"

Jin Wei Gonggong was stunned for a moment. He probably didn't expect that Mu Chunfeng would give such a reply. He smiled in a self-mocking manner and drew his sword without another word.

At this time, Mu Chunfeng's men had also brought him his sword. It had a golden hilt and a jade sheath. It was a gorgeous sword, matching the image of a sword of a rich family’s young master. Although it looked exquisite, it would probably shatter into pieces if it encountered a real sword. But Mu Chunfeng's tone remained aggressive. "Xiao-xiong, don't worry. I don't care how big the names of the Five Grand Eunuchs of Heavenly Revelations are. When you put them before the Qingzhou Mu family, they’re all worth farts!"

The three of them were stunned. This Mu Chunfeng had always assumed the appearance of a handsome young man that was full of elegance, but he just threw out such a vulgar word.

Jin Wei Gonggong suddenly leaped up, and attacked the three of them with his sword. Although his small boat was several tens of zhang away, his sword aura brought with it a force powerful enough to attack everyone.

Lei Wujie was about to retaliate but suddenly, Mu Chunfeng preempted him and leaped up. He rose higher and looked down with contempt as he slashed his sword at Jin Wei Gonggong.

Xiao Se, Lei Wujie, Tang Lian, and even Jin Wei Gonggong were all stunned at that moment.

This sword.

This sword aura!

If they had to describe Mu Chunfeng's sword move, then the best metaphor was the sight before them. It was as vast as the sea and as boundless as the rising waves!

One sword, shocked a tidal wave.

The sea water within a few tens of zhang surged in a wave caused by the sword, and then slammed down as the wave fell.

"So that’s how it is." Xiao Se smiled slightly.

Lei Wujie's eyes were locked on the sword, his eyes filled with joy.

Yes, there was no mistake. That was the sword. Regardless of Mu Chunfeng's own swordsmanship, only this sword could give rise to such a powerful force.

"Moving Mountains!" Lei Wujie finally called out the name of this sword.

The sword aura was vast, one sword to raise a thousand mountains and move a tidal wave. Forged by the Sword Heart Tomb’s Li Sunwang, ranked seventh among the top ten swords - Moving Mountains!

For so many years, even Li Suwang who’d forged the sword had no idea where the sword was. Back then, when they parted at Sword Heart Tomb, Li Suwang had asked Lei Wujie to track down the whereabouts of the sword. He didn’t expect to see it here in the hands of the third son of the Qingzhou Mu family.

But after that wave rose and fell, Jin Wei Gonggong’s figure reappeared. He tipped his toes and landed on the small boat again. Not even half a drop of seawater got onto his purple python robe. That powerful and imposing sword also seemed to be a mere understatement.

Mu Chunfeng also landed back on his ship and sighed. "Sure enough, the Five Grand Eunuchs of Heavenly Revelations are not ordinary people."

Xiao Se said coldly, "The sword move you just made was very powerful and the stroke was also very beautiful. But, it has a shortcoming."

Mu Chunfeng asked in puzzlement, "What's the shortcoming?"

"It's quite useless," Xiao Se answered frankly.

Tang Lian and Lei Wujie were shocked, thinking that he didn’t have to be so truthful right now. They’d finally found a staunch supporter. Did he want to risk getting kicked off this boat instantly?

But Mu Chunfeng just scratched his head. "My shifu said the same thing. But, I didn’t learn the sword to kill people. The main point is to look good."

"It's right to not kill." Lei Wujie nodded in approval, and slowly drew out his own sword. "But there’s a premise to that. You must first survive."

"Let’s fight," Tang Lian said in exasperation.

Mu Chunfeng said anxiously, "The sword move I just made was testing him…"

"We’re out of time." Xiao Se frowned. "We may not be able to beat him, but we can overturn his boat!"
