"Don't you want to ask who that person is?" When Drifting Cloud said this, he paused and looked at Li Mu.
Li Mu said, "Isn't it Yun Wufeng, the head of the family that you hate to the bone?"
"Yes, it's this beast." Drifting Cloud said, "The head of the family, for his own selfishness, killed all the elites of the family in the mine, including his own son, his brother, nephew, and niece … In order to deceive others, he even secretly poisoned some guards and disciples of the family who heard the news, making them lose their minds and become half-human and half-ghost monsters. Do you think such a crazy beast should be killed?"
Speaking of Drifting Cloud Wufeng, Drifting Cloud's hatred was hard to suppress.
Li Mu suddenly said, "Did your relatives also die in the Nine Serenities Palace?"
Flowing Cloud Wuxin gnashed his teeth and said, "That's right. My eldest son, second son, third daughter, and my wife, who has been with me for two sixty years, were all killed by that bastard Flowing Cloud Wuxin in the Nine Serenities Palace. Only I, because I was lucky, when I was exploring the Nine Serenities Palace, I obtained a protective treasure. At the critical moment, I blocked his sneak attack, and escaped..."
Li Mu immediately understood the monstrous hatred on Drifting Cloud's face when he mentioned the name of the head of the family.
His family had been ruined.
He had killed his wife and son!
They were absolutely irreconcilable.
"If the opportunity is right, I will definitely give you a chance to take revenge," Li Mu said.
Drifting Cloud restrained his emotions and said, "I took the risk and used half of the mental cultivation method to forcibly fuse with the [Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Fire] for revenge. The heavens took pity on me and allowed me to successfully fuse with it. However, I may not be a match for that bastard. He has obtained three [Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Fires] and the complete mental cultivation method. I reckon that he has successfully fused with the divine fire before me."
"What?" Li Mu was really taken aback this time.
"The head of Drifting Cloud has successfully integrated the divine fire?"
"Then his strength is at least at the Tao Master level, or even at the peak of the Tao Master level."
Li Mu didn't find any clues before.
"According to what you said, shouldn't Drifting Cloud Wufeng keep it a secret and block all news? Why did he report to the Military Headquarters and reveal the inheritance of the Deathless Heavenly Emperor? In this way, he can't keep the treasures in the Nine Serenities Palace. Once all parties start fighting for them, won't he be in great danger? "Li Mu asked.
Liu Yun said thoughtlessly, "How can such a secret be kept? Liu Yun Villa is not a piece of iron. There are some spies planted by some outside forces. If he insists on keeping it a secret, in the end, he may lose both his wealth and his life, or even die. Now that the news has been released, not only the military headquarters, but all the Holy Lands also know about this matter. The matter has been made public, and all parties are paying attention to it. If someone wants to make a move on him secretly, they have to think it over carefully. What's more, he has already made up a story to explain what happened in the mine. No one knows how many treasures he has obtained in the Nine Serenities Palace. If he hands over a part of it, he can be protected, so why not? Drifting Cloud Wufeng is ruthless, but he's not stupid. He knows that the pie is too big for him to eat alone, so he can only eat the part he can eat. "
When Li Mu heard this, he silently felt ashamed for his previous simple and naive thoughts.
At any time, he couldn't imagine others to be too simple.
Especially an old fox like Drifting Cloud Wufeng, who had a lot of tricks.
"So, everything that happened in the mine was a trap set by Drifting Cloud Wufeng?" Li Mu said, "Does he know you're still alive?"
"Of course not." Drifting Cloud Wufeng said, "He can enter and exit the mine at will. He has the Nine Serenities Soul-Devouring Fire in his body, so the red-haired monster doesn't dare to attack him. He can come and go as if there's no one here. Everything is within his plan. That's why he dares to let you disciples of the Holy Land enter the mine, because you can't find anything at all. He didn't expect that I'm still alive, successfully integrated with the divine fire, and met you."
Li Mu rubbed his nose.
"Did Drifting Cloud Wufeng get all the treasures of the Nine Serenities Palace?" Li Mu asked, "Did you find any other strange things in there?"
Drifting Cloud Wufeng thought for a moment and said, "At that time, before the exploration was over, I made a ruthless move, so I'm not particularly sure whether the old bastard found anything else besides the things we found at that time. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that he found something else, which is enough to make him crazy enough to sacrifice everything … Of course, this is just my guess. However, if you want to get the complete inheritance of the Immortal Celestial Emperor in this small palace, you're thinking too much. After all, it's just a palace, not the legendary Immortal Residence. "
Li Mu said, "I'm not asking about the inheritance of the Immortal Celestial Emperor, but about some other strange things, such as human souls. Have you seen them?"
Drifting Cloud Wufeng was slightly stunned. "Souls? When you said that, I seemed to remember something strange. In the Nine Serenities Palace, there seemed to be a phantom of a woman in white. It seemed real and illusory. It appeared once, but I was being chased by the old bastard at that time. Maybe I was mistaken. "
When Li Mu heard this, he suddenly became excited.
He took out the portrait of Wang Shiyu and said, "Look carefully, does the phantom of the woman in white look like this person?"
Drifting Cloud Wufeng was quite surprised. Li Mu didn't seem to have much interest in the inheritance of the Immortal Celestial Emperor. It seemed that he had come for another purpose. Could it be that the phantom of the woman in white was of great importance?
He looked carefully at the portrait in Li Mu's hand and said, "It seems a little similar, but the situation at that time was just in a flash, I can't be completely sure …"
"Let's go, let's go to the Nine Serenities Palace now." Li Mu couldn't wait.
Drifting Cloud Wufeng had already sworn to be Li Mu's Sword Servant, so he naturally wouldn't go against Li Mu's wishes. He said, "This place is still some distance from the Nine Serenities Palace in the depths of the mine, but with me here, the red-haired monster can be ignored. If we meet people from other Holy Lands on the way, how should we treat them?"
Li Mu said, "It's fine if they are safe. If they are reckless and block the way … kill them all."
When Drifting Cloud Wufeng heard such a murderous answer, his heart skipped a beat.
It seemed that this new master of his was not necessarily as harmless as he looked on the surface. When he was really decisive, he was definitely a decisive killer. That was good. He didn't follow the wrong person. If he met a master who was soft-hearted, his hands and feet would be tied when doing things, that would be the real trouble.
After leaving the lair, under the leadership of Drifting Cloud Wufeng, Li Mu sped up and rushed to the Nine Serenities Palace.
…
"Huff huff huff …"
Yan Yalun's face was full of horror, and he panted violently.
He escaped.
But he saw with his own eyes his brother and the four accompanying experts of the Thousand Flames Holy Land die tragically.
"Li Mu, how dare you … The Thousand Flames Holy Land will not let you go."
He swore bitterly.
His eyes blankly looked at his surroundings. Fear once again arose in his heart. As a typical spoiled brat, although Yan Ya Lun had some strength, he had lost his brother and bodyguards. His reliance had disappeared, and the strange and dangerous surroundings made him feel uneasy.
"Second Young Master Yan, are you alone? Where are the First Young Master Yan and the other people of the Thousand Flames Holy Land? "A ghostly voice appeared behind Yan Yalun.
"Who is it?" Yan Yalun was taken aback. He turned around at once. When he saw who it was, he was overjoyed and said, "It's you? You came just in time. Quick, tell me how to get out of here. I want to go back to the Thousand Flames Holy Land. "
…
"Sister, why do I feel that this mine is strange? In addition to the red-haired monster, there seems to be other dangers in this mine," Junior Sister Jia Ning of the Delirium Holy Land said in a frightened tone.
"Follow me."
Senior Sister Shuying frowned slightly.
She knew that her Little Junior Sister had a special talent, and that was the ability to sense the arrival of danger. Her intuition was exceptionally accurate. If Little Junior Sister felt that there was an element of unexpected danger in this training, then it meant that things had already become very troublesome.
Of course, there was another thing that made things very troublesome —
There were some mistakes in the mine map given by the Drifting Cloud Family.
After standing at the mouth of the three-forked cave several times and choosing the "safe route" shown on the map, Shuying finally realized that the marks on the map in her hand were wrong. It was difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.
It seemed that things were not as simple as she had imagined at first.
…
…
"Down there is the Nine Serenities Palace. But we have to be careful. I don't know if Drifting Cloud Wufeng has left any backup plan in there."
Drifting Cloud Wufeng pointed to a huge vertical pit in front of him that looked like an underground sinkhole.
With the Dao Master Realm who had integrated with the Nine Serenities Soul-Devouring Fire, along the way, those fierce zombie-like red-haired monsters knelt on the ground and did not dare to move once they saw Li Mu and Drifting Cloud, just like courtiers meeting their king.
Therefore, in less than half an hour, the two smoothly came to the vicinity of the Nine Serenities Palace.
Li Mu jumped down from above.
The light below was dim, like a dark abyss. After a full 100 meters, he fell to the ground.
Li Mu tried his best to see.
The place where he was standing was the stone steps in front of a towering black palace hall. The Nine Serenities Palace that emerged in his field of vision, at first glance, was like a sleeping underground beast, standing silently in front of him. The open door of the palace seemed to be ready to choose someone to devour at any time.
"This pit exists naturally. It was covered by a giant flat rock before. When we mined the mine, we accidentally broke the flat rock and found it. I don't know how the Deathless Celestial Emperor buried the Nine Serenities Palace so deep."
Drifting Cloud Wufeng followed.
Li Mu felt that the frequency of vibration and heat flow coming from the rusted sword behind him was getting higher and faster, which made him excited.
"Come on, let's go in and have a look."
The two directly entered the Nine Serenities Palace.
