Li Yunmu's heart was thumping wildly. Playing tricks in front of a Flux Sage wasn't something an ordinary person could do.
However, the little Shadow Female Ancestor was worthy of being called a deity who had descended to the Seventh Dimension. She lightly floated toward the city lord's shadow.
She quietly merged with the city lord's shadow, and the entire process was extremely calm.
"Your heart seems to be in great turmoil. Haha, you dared to kill my son in the city lord's mansion, so how come you've become so timid now?"
The city lord suddenly looked at Li Yunmu. Although his body was in a miserable state due to the backlash, a pair of divine lights shot toward Li Yunmu's consciousness sea.
Instantly, the system's alarm rang out.
At this instant, Li Yunmu felt as if he had encountered a dazzling divine light from the horizon, and his mind was shaken. Only after meeting a genuine Flux Sage did Li Yunmu realize how laughable his so-called heaven-defying battle prowess was in front of a Flux Sage's gaze.
This kind of power is exactly what I want, and it is also what I pursue and dream of.
Only this thought appeared in Li Yunmu's mind, and his consciousness became fuzzy. After an unknown amount of time, he regained consciousness.
Only then did he discover that his ability points had dropped by a large amount. The system had used up 3789 ability points to assist Li Yunmu in resisting the city lord's gaze.
F * ck your grandpa!
Li Yunmu was going crazy in his heart. The opponent had only looked at him once, and his ability points had dropped like crazy. The entire process had happened in less than three seconds.
"Yi, you woke up so quickly. You're worthy of being the descendant of a battle sage's bloodline." This time, even the city lord was astonished. But how could he have known that this wasn't because of the battle sage's bloodline, but rather because the system had used ability points to resist his attack.
"What do you want to do? I don't have the battle sage's bloodline. If you also came for the battle sage's bloodline, then I'm sorry, but you're doomed to be disappointed. Moreover, I won't allow myself to be captured without putting up a fight, "Li Yunmu said calmly after waking up.
However, his actions left Lin Yuerou completely astonished. This was the first time she had seen a youngster who dared to speak to her father in such a manner.
Whether it was the Lord of Heavenly Cloud City or a Saint, no one had ever dared to face her father like this. Even she herself had to remain cautious.
It was all because of the aura of a Saint. Even if the City Lord had restrained it, no one below the Saint level could look at him directly.
"Haha, interesting." The corners of the City Lord's mouth curled up into a smile. However, the backlash from his body was exceptionally frightening.
"Right now, it doesn't matter to me whether or not you have the bloodline of a Battle Saint. I can feel the protective aura of a Battle Saint emanating from your body. This aura is very fresh. You really are the descendant of a Battle Saint. No one in this world would dare to target someone who has the protective aura of a Battle Saint, including me."
However, the city lord's words startled Li Yunmu. He has the aura of a battle-saint? And it's still fresh?
What kind of joke was this? This was simply a gargantuan misunderstanding. However, this misunderstanding was an extremely beautiful one. Surprisingly, even a majestic Flux Sage had made such a mistake. What exactly was the reason for this?
[Host, according to the comprehensive analysis, it is extremely likely that he mistook the newborn body of the little Shadow Female Ancestor for the presence of a Battle Saint. If he had truly entered the sage realm naturally, then he would have definitely been able to detect the minute difference in the protective aura,] the system provided Li Yunmu with a timely analysis.
Li Yunmu instantly understood. The Shadow Female Ancestor was an innate lifeform of the Seventh Dimension that was close to deity level. Her presence was naturally close to that of a Battle Sage, or perhaps even more formidable.
Although the little shadow ancestor was only a newborn body and hadn't received the support of her clansmen, she didn't possess any substantial strength. However, her innately formidable presence couldn't be erased.
The little shadow ancestor was sitting on Li Yunmu's shoulder, so it wasn't strange for the city lord to sense her presence. But unfortunately, he couldn't sense the battle sage's presence which had merged with his shadow. The progress bar for the cultivation of the duplicate realm was also being filled up bit by bit.
7%... 19%... 36%... 52%... Estimated time remaining was three minutes. Only three minutes would be needed for the little shadow ancestor to completely copy the city lord's cultivation.
"In the beginning, I was hesitating whether to invite you or not. But now, it seems that this was the correct decision. Regardless of whether you possess the bloodline of a Battle Sage or not, with the protection of a Battle Sage's presence, you should be able to represent the sect behind you in making decisions," the city lord said.
"Then what do you need me to do for you?"
"It's very simple. You should also know my present situation. The day of my death isn't far away. I need the power of the sect behind you to enter Heavenly Cloud City and fight against the fluxer guild of Blue Cloud Sect. Otherwise, once I die, Heavenly Cloud City will undergo a heavenly transformation. As the lord of this territory, I don't want to see the day when our Heavenly Cloud City will be plunged into misery and suffering because of a single person's ambition," the city lord said indifferently.
"Then what do you need to pay?" Li Yunmu didn't refuse, nor did he agree, but rather asked directly.
"Valley Wind City, Heavenly Fragrant City, Flying Jade City, Cold Cloud City. You can choose one of these four great cities to be the garrison of your mysterious Li Sect. The taxes and resources of this city will all belong to your sect."
The city lord's indifferent words were like a thunderclap, heavily striking Li Yunmu's head. At this moment, Li Yunmu was howling madly in his heart.
Misunderstanding, a gargantuan misunderstanding!
The more the rumors spread, the more real the mysterious Li Sect appeared in the eyes of the world along with him, Li Yun, and Li Feng. But now, they had surprisingly deceived a dignified city lord of a secondary city and a Flux Sage. It had to be said that this was a monstrous method to deceive the heavens.
The funniest thing was that Li Yunmu hadn't done all of this intentionally, everything had just been an act.
But could he agree? Could he agree? Did he have the ability to agree? This important matter echoed in Li Yunmu's heart three times.
"Yes." Finally, after waiting for a long time, Li Yunmu, who had been silent all this time, finally clenched his teeth and squeezed out this answer.
Yes, Li Yunmu's ambition was like a great flood or a ferocious beast. In an instant, it had swelled up without limit. The cowardly would starve to death, the courageous would burst to death. A man must be ruthless to himself, if he didn't gamble, then how could he have a future?
After learning that he had been mistaken by the people of the world as possessing the battle sage bloodline, he understood that he didn't have any path of retreat.
The master of one of the four great citadels, as well as all the taxes and resources of this citadel, this temptation was too enormous. It was so great that even Li Yunmu and the system couldn't refuse it. As long as he possessed the resources of this citadel, Li Yunmu's heavenly world would develop by leaps and bounds.
