At that moment, Chu Mu had no idea that Fu Xuan strongly suspected him of being the Emanator Shuhu, who had killed her master and owed a blood debt to countless people of the Xianzhou!
If word got out, the Xianzhou natives would probably eat Chu Mu alive and flay him!
Fu Xuan's suspicions were hardly baseless. She had her reasons!
First, over all these years, Shuhu was the only Emanator of Abundance who had kept a close eye on the Xianzhou and shown such intense interest in it.
Second, the fugitive who had renamed himself Blade carried Shuhu's blessing!
What surprised Fu Xuan was something she discovered while reviewing the fugitive's records. Centuries ago, one of Blade's reasons for joining the Xianzhou had been that his parents were killed by the Denizens of Abundance. He had wanted to use his skill at forging weapons to help the Xianzhou wage war against Abundance.
Back then, Blade had been a craftsman with little fighting ability. His skill at forging extraordinary weapons was what had earned him a place among the High-Cloud Quintet.
But after the Shuhu Rebellion, the illustrious High-Cloud Quintet had suddenly fallen apart.
One had died, one had been imprisoned, one had fled, and one had vanished.
Only one remained: the current Divine General, Jing Yuan.
The Shuhu Rebellion had been the turning point in the High-Cloud Quintet's decline. In fact, it could be called a precipitous collapse.
Without the war Shuhu had instigated, the subsequent rebellion would never have happened.
Every surviving member of the High-Cloud Quintet should have harbored a deep hatred for Abundance.
Yet Blade, of all people, carried Shuhu's gift!
Fu Xuan could never understand it. Perhaps even Jing Yuan could not understand why Blade would accept a blessing from his mortal enemy!
