The shout was like thunder and carried such an imposing momentum that it frightened several individuals into immobility.

They only dared to whisper among themselves.

"This is bad! How did we run into the Eldest Senior Sister from Hidden Sword Peak? We're done for!"

"Eldest Senior Sister? Her demeanor seems a bit different from the other senior sisters of Hidden Sword Peak..."

"She's the notorious troublemaker of Hidden Sword Peak! Everyone, pray for mercy... It seems we won't have an easy return today."

"Hey, actually, Eldest Senior Sister Lin'er has had it quite rough. She was once in love with the chief senior brother from our Sword Sect's Upper Cloud Peak. The two were a perfect match, deeply admired by several Peak Masters of the sect as a couple blessed by the heavens. Back then, the Eldest Senior Sister from Hidden Sword Peak was as gentle as water, a mirror image of Master Lu. Unfortunately..."

"Senior Brother, hurry up and say it! Unfortunately, what?"

"Unfortunately, later on, during his travels, our chief senior brother was utterly enchanted by Gu the Witch from the Fengyue Sect... If it weren't for a senior who accompanied him, he might have been whisked away to the Fengyun Sect. You all know what happened after. Now, our chief senior brother is still confined at Contemplation Cliff. As for this Eldest Senior Sister from Hidden Sword Peak, she was so enraged that her personality drastically changed!"

"She's now extremely paranoid about any demoness from the Fengyue Sect, practically jumping at shadows."

"HISS HISS HISS... An Eldest Senior Sister like that is truly the most terrifying!"

"Sigh, speaking of which, this Eldest Senior Sister has her share of suffering too... Gu Witch from the Fengyue Sect was trained by the Supreme Master. We Sword Sect disciples can only pray we never encounter her. Otherwise, our lives are over!"

Wang Mu, listening from the side, felt a pang of sympathy. This demoness from the Fengyue Sect is truly outrageous!

"Lin'er, what's going on?"

At that moment, Master Lu approached from a distance, frowning at the lady in the black dress.

"It's nothing, just a few little ones who want to learn our sect's Transformation Skill." The woman in the black dress gave a slight smile. "Master, shall we teach them?"

"You child..." Master Lu understood at a glance and said irritably, "Scaring them again?"

"Scaring them? This is for their own good!" The woman in the black dress huffed. "They're so young and still unaware of the Fengyue Sect demoness's prowess. It's been three months since they joined the sect. Later, when they go out to gain experience, if something happens, they'll regret it sooner or later!"

Master Lu chuckled and glanced over the group. Suddenly, he let out a sound of surprise. "Wang Mu, what brings you to my Hidden Sword Peak?" Master Lu sounded quite pleased.

"Just strolling around," Wang Mu responded with a respectful smile. "Master Lu, sorry for the disturbance."

"No worries, not a disturbance at all." Master Lu nodded with a smile. "Well, since you're already here, why not join in the lesson today? You can all learn together."

A senior brother grimaced and said, "No, please! Master Lu, I have something else to do. Your Transformation Skill is profoundly mysterious, and I, with my dull aptitude, can't learn it!"

Saying this, he started to run outside.

"Xu Xiaoxia, why are you running?" The woman in black appeared behind him, smiling. "We offer to teach you Hidden Sword Peak's Transformation Skill for free, and you don't want it? How ungrateful!"

Wang Mu wondered to himself why this Transformation Skill made them panic so much. Is it really that frightening? At most, I'll try to learn it, and if I can't, so be it.

Meanwhile, the other senior sisters covered their mouths and giggled, seemingly reminiscing about something.

"I remember you tried it the first time you came as well," the woman in black said, dragging the senior brother out. "It's been half a year. It's a good time for Master to test your skill level. If there are any issues, this is also a good chance for the Master to teach you."

"You're their senior from the previous batch, so set a good example. Come on. Perform the entry-level spell of your Thousand Illusion Twelve Transformations, the Yin Yang Chaos Technique."

The senior brother was dragged out as if facing a public trial, his face a mask of misery.

Wang Mu watched with curiosity.

The senior brother reluctantly stood his ground. Bracing himself, he began chanting the mantra and forming the Dharma Seal with his hands.

In an instant, a mysterious force of Moonlight Power emerged, circulating around his body and shrouding him in wisps of mist.

In just a moment, amid the cloudy mists, the senior brother startlingly transformed—into a Sword Crane.

However, this Sword Crane was small, with disproportionately thick wings. Arms were clearly visible beneath its feathers, and it even had an extra nose on its head.

It looked utterly bizarre and was unable to move, much like an inanimate object.

"Little White, use the Water Shadow Talisman to record Junior Brother Xu's current appearance. After half a year of cultivation, his Yin Yang Chaos Technique is still this shallow. He can't even properly transform into a halfway decent Sword Crane."

"Those demonesses are capable of countless transformations. If your Transformation Skill is so poor, how will you discern them? And if you can't discern them, how will you resist?"

The woman in the black dress berated him as she lectured.

The other disciples watched, their scalps tingling. That Water Shadow Talisman recording would be an infamous mark on his record! This Senior Brother had been berated like this for a whole half-year.

Wang Mu, however, watched with great interest. This Transformation Skill was precisely what he wanted to learn.

Master Lu, noticing Wang Mu's expression, immediately spoke with a beaming smile, "Wang Mu, you seem quite interested. Do you also want to learn?"

At these words, everyone turned to look at him.

Especially the senior sisters from Hidden Sword Peak, who stared with wide, curious eyes.

"I do want to learn," Wang Mu stated bluntly, "but I don't quite understand. Master Lu, could you explain it to me?"
