In the city.
An alley at night.
"Brother … Brother Li, where are we going now?"
Xiao Jianfei looked at Li Mu with a complicated expression.
Li Mu said, "Let's get you out of the city first."
Xiao Jianfei couldn't help but be shocked by Li Mu's courage and boldness. Was this young man truly fearless? Xiao Jianfei didn't know what Li Mu was trying to say.
"It won't be easy to get out of the city. The Wandering Dragon Army must have set up special defenses, but I know some hidden channels. We can give it a try." Xiao Jianfei thought about how to get out of the city. No matter what, he had to get Li Mu out of the city first. He couldn't kill anymore. Otherwise, even if they were wrongly accused, they wouldn't be able to clear their names if they kept killing.
"We can just leave the city. Why do we need hidden channels?"
Li Mu held onto Xiao Jianfei's shoulder as they swaggered through the heavily guarded streets of Raging Flame City. Even if the patrolling soldiers brushed past them, they wouldn't be able to detect them. There were quite a few generals in the Wandering Dragon Army.
Xiao Jianfei looked at Li Mu in disbelief.
The two came to a relatively remote section of the city wall.
Li Mu stretched out his hand and gently pressed it on the city wall. Faint golden ripples flickered. Then, an oval gap appeared on the city-protection tactical deployment that was said to be able to defend against experts in the Tao Realm, as if it were glass that had been melted.
Li Mu led Xiao Jianfei through the gap and over the wall. They left the city without any obstructions.
Xiao Jianfei was stunned by Li Mu's unimaginable methods.
"You … are you an array master?"
He asked in disbelief.
Only an array master could open the protective formation of the city without alerting the Wandering Dragon Army. Moreover, only a tenth level Saint Array Master could do that. Ordinary array masters would be courting death by approaching the protective formation like that.
Li Mu stopped in the wilderness dozens of miles away from Raging Flame City.
The night wind was cold.
It was getting closer to winter and the temperature was getting colder.
He didn't answer Xiao Jianfei's question. Instead, he asked, "Have you thought it through? Where do you want to go next? "
Xiao Jianfei looked a little confused.
It was true that he was an excellent scout and had completed many difficult missions before. Otherwise, he would not have been able to become the leader of a Silver-ranked scout team. However, the situation this time was different from all the problems he had encountered before. He had been fighting against the military headquarters that he had always fought for and defended even if he had to die. The conviction in his heart was tormenting him, causing him to be confused for a moment. He did not know how to plan at all.
Of course he wanted to clear his name.
However, it was easier said than done.
Li Mu changed the subject and asked, "Do you know what it means to become a god?"
Xiao Jianfei nodded, then shook his head.
The human experts of the Primal Chaos World were divided into different factions. The military was the largest faction. It was like an enormous empire, a tightly controlled machine. The parts and screws that made up this machine were the military, the sects, the clans, and so on.
According to the legends, the human race had a divine force.
However, at Xiao Jianfei's level, he was still unable to come into contact with them.
Lei Zang claimed to be a god. As for the reason, he had told Xiao Jianfei in prison. But as for what would happen after he became a god, he didn't know.
Li Mu said, "If you go home alone to pick up your wife and daughter, can you do it?"
Xiao Jianfei lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Then, he said, "Well … I think I can." At this point, he suddenly realized something, and his expression changed drastically. "Are you saying that the military will make a move on my family? That's impossible. At most, they will just imprison them. Their lives won't be in danger. I know the military law in this regard very well. "
Li Mu said, "What if Lei Zang does it?"
"Isn't Lei Zang dead?" Xiao Jianfei said subconsciously. Then, he suddenly realized something. He widened his eyes and said, "Is Lei Zang still alive? No way. He has clearly … "
"His physical body has long been destroyed. Only a wisp of his true spirit is on the List of Deification. Perhaps the undying true spirit can't kill him." Li Mu looked at the vast night in the distance and said solemnly, "Of course, I'm just guessing. But for you, you can't afford the price of this bet. So, I suggest you go back and pick up your wife and daughter and settle them down."
Xiao Jianfei suddenly became anxious. "Okay, I'll go back right now. But … I'm afraid there's not enough time." He traveled through the wilderness alone. No matter how he traveled day and night, he couldn't be faster than the military.
Now that he was a criminal, he couldn't use the Transmitting Formations in the major cities.
Li Mu whistled.
A black bolt of lightning flew over from the wilderness.
It was the black Dragon Horse.
Before Li Mu broke into the Governor's Mansion, he had already brought the black Dragon Horse to the outskirts of Flame City.
"Ride it there. You can arrive before tomorrow morning and act before the military. But be careful. The military headquarters will definitely take action. You're a scout, so it's up to you. "Li Mu said.
Xiao Jianfei looked at Li Mu gratefully.
It turned out that this young man had arranged everything for him.
"Thank you." Xiao Jianfei bowed to Li Mu respectfully.
Thinking about it carefully, Li Mu and he had just met by chance. He had always been a burden to Li Mu, while Li Mu had always been saving him. This feeling was really … terrible.
Li Mu accepted the bow.
Xiao Jianfei looked up. He wanted to ask what Li Mu planned to do next and persuade Li Mu not to kill again. But then he realized that he couldn't control Li Mu at all, and his own ideas might not be right. So, he bowed again, jumped on the black Dragon Horse, and left like a flash of lightning.
Li Mu looked at Xiao Jianfei's disappearing figure and smiled.
Xiao Jianfei was a qualified soldier.
The more he struggled, the more it showed that in his heart, the more important military law and discipline were. Li Mu appreciated and valued them.
If all the officers of the human army had such qualities, then the situation in the Chaotic Battlefield would be very smooth and strong.
So, no matter what, Li Mu hoped that Xiao Jianfei could survive, grow up, and become a high-level officer in the army. If there was even the slightest possibility, Li Mu would do his best to help Xiao Jianfei rise.
…
…
"Uncle Jiang, you mean that Li Mu escaped?"
Ye Ying asked in disbelief.
After listening to Jiang Buping's narration, Ye Ying felt as if she was listening to a legendary story. It wasn't that there weren't people who could break out of the Raging Flame City's City Lord's Mansion. It wasn't that there weren't people who could instantly kill two Spirit Xuan experts. However, in the eyes of the Ye Family's beauty, Li Mu shouldn't be someone with such ability.
Jiang Buping smiled bitterly and said, "I believe the Ye family can also see the report from the military headquarters. If you don't believe me, you can read it."
"Uh, that's not what I meant. Uncle Jiang, please don't misunderstand," Ye Ying hurriedly explained.
She did not hesitate to make her elder sister angry and finally agreed to all of her elder sister's conditions in exchange for coming to the Governor's Mansion. She wanted to see Li Mu for the last time. She had made up her mind that even if she could not save Li Mu, she wanted to hear the truth from Li Mu face to face. If there was a chance in the future, she would clear Li Mu's name.
But now it seemed that it was completely unnecessary.
Ye Ying froze on the spot and looked at her elder sister who came with her.
Ye He also could not hide the surprise on her face.
Li Mu's performance once again surprised the proud daughter of the Ye family. Now, to be honest, Ye He began to be curious. She had an impulse to meet Li Mu face to face.
What kind of person could make her sister, the icy beauty, so concerned in such a short time? And what kind of young man could make Jiang Buping, a senior figure, feel such a headache?
Ye He knew Lei Zang's background.
Although she also despised Lei Zang's character, she was also quite afraid of him. After all, he was the only disciple the Thunder Doctrine School had accepted in the past ten years. But he was defeated by Li Mu without a chance to fight back.
Ye He had a hunch that it would not take long for the entire human race to know the name of Li Mu.
But unfortunately, being the enemy of the military meant that no matter how bright he was, he would fall like a comet.
"Who is it?"
Jiang Buping's face changed. He looked at a tree in the distance and bellowed, "Get out here."
Nothing happened.
Jiang Buping snorted and was about to make a move.
"Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute, Uncle Jiang, it's me, it's me, haha …" A figure jumped out of the tree and waved his hands, with an ingratiating smile on his face.
"Shocking? Why are you … "Jiang Buping was stunned. But soon, he reacted and said," Are you also here for Li Mu? "
"Haha, you are indeed the 'Flaming Palm' Uncle Jiang. Haha, you have seen through my intention in such a short time." Lin Jingxin rubbed his white hair and grinned.
Jiang Buping said angrily, "What Divine Palm of Flaming Flame? I've lost all my face tonight. I was frozen by your friend's palm and suffered internal injuries. I'm old now. I don't dare to call myself the Divine Palm of Flaming Flame anymore.
Lin Jingxin could tell that Uncle Jiang was angry, so he hurriedly said, "Haha, Uncle Jiang, you were merciful. Otherwise, you would have smashed Li Mu into pieces."
Jiang Buping snapped, "What is Lin An doing? He didn't even take you away. Alright, you heard what I said just now. Li Mu is fine, so you should scram. How dare you young juniors treat my City Lord's Mansion as some kind of place? You can just casually sneak in. I'll deal with your Third Uncle later."
Lin Jingxin hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed. "Okay, Third Uncle, I will get out. Hahaha."
He was not late. He had heard the conversation between Jiang Buping and Ye Ying. Just now, he wanted to sneak away but was discovered by Jiang Buping. At this time, he had no other choice but to turn around and leave.
Jiang Buping suddenly thought of something and shouted, "Stop!"
Lin Jingxin looked back with a wry smile and said, "Uncle Jiang, what else can I do for you?"
"Get your ass out of Flame City tonight. Don't come back before winter arrives. Don't look into what happened at the relay station. At the very least, don't ask about it before you have the ability and the right to do so. You're not young anymore. You should be more sensible. Listen to your third uncle. He won't harm you," said Jiang Buping seriously.
Lin Jingxin inexplicably felt warm in his heart. He said, "Okay, Uncle Jiang, I got it."
Jiang Buping then said to Ye Ying, "I also want to say the same to you. It is good for young people to be hot-blooded, but they should know how to deal with it. Now you are not qualified to ask about it."
Ye Ying was silent. Finally, he nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
Jiang Buping turned to the inner hall and said, "Get out of here."
He was really holding back his anger tonight.
Lin Jingxin and Ye Ying looked at each other, snorted, and were about to leave.
But at that moment —
"Go? No one is allowed to leave tonight. "
