The three auras were extremely frightening.
They were like peerless beasts lurking in the center of the camp.
"They must be real experts on the Immortal Path … I wonder if I can defeat the three of them?"
Li Mu thought to himself, feeling uncertain.
He became more and more cautious.
He concealed his tracks and circled around the mountain range of the Delirium Holy Place, but he didn't find any trace of Elder Xu and the others.
He waited for another half a day.
There was still no movement.
"It seems that we're late. Elder Xu and the others have already gone in."
Li Mu said.
Sparse Shadow and Dugu Huang, the two beautiful female cultivators, were instantly grieved.
They didn't expect that they were still a step too late.
They could imagine what kind of fate Elder Xu and the others had encountered. Even if they didn't die, they would probably fall into hell and be consigned to eternal damnation.
"Young Master, let's retreat," Sparse Shadow said, trying to suppress the grief in her heart.
Although it concerned the life and death of their fellow disciples, they couldn't ask Li Mu to take risks for them. The two female cultivators were already very grateful that Li Mu had done so much for them.
But Li Mu said, "There's no hurry. Let's wait."
Because just now, he found something very strange.
Those steel puppets were cutting wood, collecting stones, and drawing water to move the earth. They were actually building some kind of tactical deployment.
The entire Delirium Holy Land's so-called blessed mountain range was used as a formation field. The ten thousand year old earth veins beneath the ground were activated and inscribed into the formation's patterns. Large amounts of rocks, ancient trees, animal flesh, and earth itself were continuously drawn into the formation.
There were at least tens of thousands of steel puppets in the entire camp.
Only a small number of them were sent to chase after the female cultivators who escaped from the Delirium Holy Place. The rest of them gathered in the camp to repair the tactical deployment and showed no signs of expanding.
"Damn it! I'm afraid they have a bigger plan."
Li Mu decided to figure it out.
He was also a bold man. After pondering for a while, he quietly sneaked in with Dugu Huang and Sparse Shadow.
If it were anyone else, they would have been discovered.
But with the power of the Nether Broadsword, Li Mu didn't spend much effort to avoid the patrolling steel puppets, bypass the many defensive deployments on the ground, and come to the periphery of the palaces of the Delirium Holy Place.
Dugu Huang and Sparse Shadow looked at Li Mu, their eyes full of shock and gratitude.
They had thought that Li Mu wanted to go in and save people. Never in their wildest dreams did they expect that Li Mu would take such risks for the sake of the Delirium Holy Land.
How could there be such a great man in this world?
The two of them were extremely touched.
Li Mu observed the camp for a moment and made a new discovery.
Apart from the steel golem, there were about forty other immortals, most likely leaders of the group.
These immortals weren't puppets, but real people.
They were dressed the same as the celestial that he had killed with three slashes. They were all wearing standard light armor and had standard celestial swords. Their cultivations were similar to that celestial, and there was not much difference between them.
"It seems like these immortals are the lowest level immortal slaves."
Li Mu pondered for a moment and understood.
In Fang Huamei's travels in the immortal world, Li Mu had read a lot of information. He knew that in the immortal world, all the major forces had forged an army of battle puppets, which were the finished products of the immortal world's alchemy. They were extremely common for construction, killing, transportation, conquest, and so on.
One level higher than the puppet army were the Immortal Slaves.
They were the slaves of the immortals.
These people controlled and commanded the battle puppets. Their combat strength was stronger, and they also had the intelligence that the battle puppets lacked. In the eyes of the real immortal forces, they were just like ants that could be killed at will.
The battle puppets were lifeless cannon fodder.
The slave immortals were living cannon fodder.
They were all cannon fodder.
"There are a total of 45 slave immortals outside, and the number of those serving in these halls should be more than 45. These slave immortals are nothing to worry about, but I have to be careful when dealing with the three terrible existences in this camp. I'm afraid they are the Fairy Immortals that Old Fang mentioned."
The list of the Holy War in the Land of Immortal Ascension coincided with the order of the immortals in the immortal world.
Above the slave immortals were the Fairy Immortals.
Above the Fairy Immortals were the Banished Immortals.
Above the Banished Immortals were the Genuine Immortals.
Above the Banished Immortals were the Golden Immortals, Immortal Generals, Immortal Kings, and so on.
Li Mu had killed a slave immortal before, but he was not completely sure if he could defeat the legendary Fairy Immortals.
Moreover, there were at least three Fairy Immortals in this camp.
After secretly observing for a while and eavesdropping on the conversations of some slave immortals, Li Mu finally figured out what these immortals were doing —
They were building the Immortal Guiding Formation.
They wanted to expand the passage to the Immortal Realm, which was barely opened, to receive more experts from the Immortal Realm.
These were just the vanguards sent by the Immortal Realm.
Or, they were not even vanguards.
It should be said that they were just a small advance team.
But a small advance team from the Immortal Realm could destroy a Holy Land in the Chaotic World that had existed for tens of thousands of years. Such a comparison really shocked Li Mu.
The gap between the two worlds was too big.
If the stronger existences from the Immortal Realm successfully descended, the Chaotic World would really have no chance at all.
They had to destroy it, and they could not let these slave immortals build a great formation.
But how could they destroy this great formation?
Li Mu was also an expert in formations, but after observing those immortal patterns for a long time, he still could not figure out what to do, nor could he think of a safe way.
Just at this moment —
"Let's go."
"Behave, don't think about escaping, or you will suffer a fate worse than death."
"Quickly bring out the immortal wine and immortal fruits."
Several scolding voices came from a hall in the distance.
Li Mu and the other two looked in the direction of the voice and saw six silver-armored slave immortals walking out of the hall, followed by a dozen female cultivators.
They took a closer look, weren't they the female cultivators from the Delirium Holy Land?
"It's Elder Fei Hua."
"And Senior Sister Ling."
"They are all still alive."
Dugu Huang and Sparse Shadow were both overjoyed.
They did not expect that after the sect was occupied by the Immortal Dao, some of their fellow disciples were still alive. It was really a pleasant surprise.
Li Mu glanced at them and sighed silently in his heart.
These female cultivators were all naked, and their faces were dull. Hatred was hidden in the depths of their eyes. Obviously, something bad had happened, and they hated these immortals to the extreme.
The female cultivators were carrying wine and food in their hands. They had come to deliver food to the slave immortals outside.
Li Mu was quite surprised.
Why were immortals immortal? Did they even need to eat?
But those slave immortals all gathered around, chatting and laughing as they ate and drank as if they were starving. Soon, the food brought by the female cultivators was swept clean. After eating and drinking to their heart's content, they were full of energy again.
"It seems that the slave immortals really need to eat to replenish their energy and physical strength."
This matter was not mentioned in the Journey to the Immortal Realm.
According to this logic, if they didn't eat, would the immortals starve to death?
Li Mu vaguely felt that he might be able to take advantage of this.
Soon, Li Mu saw the female cultivators put away the food and were taken to the hall in the distance. An idea came to Li Mu, and he followed them with the two girls.
Sparse Shadow and Dugu Huang were very familiar with the environment and terrain inside and outside the hall, which was also one of the reasons why Li Mu brought them here.
"This is the way to the dungeon."
Sparse Shadow whispered in Li Mu's ear.
Li Mu nodded.
The three of them quietly followed.
Soon, they arrived at the dungeon.
The Delirium Holy Land was an all-female sect, so the dungeon was quite clean and tidy, without the gloomy smell of blood. It was more like a huge quiet room. When they entered the dungeon, Li Mu saw at least 300 female cultivators were imprisoned there.
Sparse Shadow and Dugu Huang were so happy to see so many fellow disciples that they almost cried.
Li Mu sighed inwardly.
This was troublesome.
He couldn't just leave them to die.
However, if he wanted to take so many people out, it would be extremely difficult, unless he killed all the steel puppets, slaves, and fairies in the camp. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to take so many ordinary female cultivators away safely.
Li Mu thought for a moment, engraved two Air-concealing Jade Pieces with the Nether Broadsword, and gave them to Dugu Huang and Sparse Shadow, telling them to wait here and secretly take care of these female cultivators.
"In a moment, when there's chaos outside, find an opportunity to take them away from here. You can use these two pieces of jade to activate the spell formations I set up along the way. At a critical moment, they'll be able to help you."
Li Mu reminded them.
"What about you, Young Master?" Sparse Shadow asked worriedly.
Li Mu said, "I'll be right back."
He held the Nether Broadsword in a reverse grip, turned around, and walked out of the dungeon.
Sparse Shadow and Dugu Huang looked at each other. They didn't know what to feel.
They didn't need to guess to know what Li Mu was going to do.
"Is there really such a person in the world?"
…
Li Mu walked out of the hall, still carefully concealing his tracks.
He observed for a while and then walked toward the hall where the three terrifying immortal auras were.
Those three immortals were the trickiest obstacles.
If he could get rid of them, the rest of the slave immortals and puppets would not be a problem.
As soon as he entered the hall, Li Mu immediately felt a kind of substantial pressure pervading the whole space. The visible dense aura of the Fallen Immortals made the air in the hall as thick as a swamp.
The hall was empty.
In the middle of the hall, a figure with long red hair was sitting cross-legged on a three-story white jade altar. His upper body was naked, and he seemed to be practicing some kind of Cultivation Method. Lines of blood snake-like patterns appeared and disappeared on his skin from time to time, wriggling like vines.
The pressure and the dense aura of the Fallen Immortals in the whole hall were all emitted from his body.
"He's so strong. His strength is even above that of the Dark Blood Demon Immortal."
Li Mu made a judgment in his mind.
He approached cautiously. When he was about 50 meters away, he suddenly launched a surprise attack and wielded his broadsword.
This was a deliberate blow from Li Mu. He exerted all his strength without holding anything back.
The gold and silver broadsword light flashed.
The distance of 50 meters disappeared in an instant.
The Dark Broadsword had already hacked at the man's forehead.
Li Mu was delighted.
At this moment —
The Fallen Immortal who was cultivating with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes.
There was electricity in the room.
The man's eyes were like two lightning swords.
"Little bug, I've already found you."
He sneered.
