Mu Mu's absolute strength made Tie Wuxie suddenly realize that this was a ruthless man who had destroyed the Dao Seeking Sect because of a single word of disagreement. He had almost been misled by Mu Mu's gentle appearance. He had thought that Mu Mu was a harmless little rabbit.
But how could he smooth things over?
The power of the Golden Peak Mountain was much stronger than that of the Sword Forging Pavilion.
Jin Wuji was the Golden Peak Mountain's Protector Elder. His status was extremely high, but he had died in the Sword Forging Pavilion. Even if it was said to the heavens, the Sword Forging Pavilion would still have to bear some responsibility.
The Golden Peak Mountain would definitely not let this go.
This concerned the reputation of the sect.
My head hurts.
But Tie Wuqing did not dare to blame Li Mu.
What if he made this God of Slaughter unhappy and casually destroyed the Sword Forging Pavilion?
Just when Tie Wufei was in a difficult position —
"Haha, Young Master Mu's cultivation is really shocking. That golden light just now was as fast as lightning and hard to distinguish. Could it be some kind of flying sword magic?"
When everyone was silent, the Eighth Prince suddenly asked with a smile.
Li Mu nodded slightly and said, "It is indeed a flying sword supernatural power."
"What a fast sword. What a terrifying divine ability. " Eighth Prince closed his eyes and comprehended it again. Then, he opened his eyes and said with a smile, "I'm afraid that even a peak True Immortal would find it hard to resist the power of this sword. Isn't Young Master Mu an Immortal Beast Tamer? How is his swordsmanship so good? "
Those few questions instantly shifted the focus of the crowd from Jin Wuji's death to Li Mu's cultivation.
He was obviously trying to change the topic.
He had no intention of pursuing Jin Wuji's death.
Tie Wuqing heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as the Eighth Prince didn't care about this matter, they could talk about it later.
Li Mu smiled and said calmly, "Among the legacies I received, beast taming is a branch, and so is the Celestial Swordsmanship. Both have their own strengths, so they can be cultivated."
"Oh?" The Eighth Prince's eyes lit up.
There weren't many geniuses who were proficient in both beast taming and immortal swords.
Furthermore, this person was a loose cultivator and did not belong to any sect. He was someone worth recruiting.
"Brother Mu, your affinity with immortality is not shallow. If there's an opportunity, I'll definitely ask Brother Mu for advice. "The eighth prince expressed his goodwill.
Li Mu nodded and said, "Okay."
The banquet continued.
Just like that, Jin Wuji's death was lightly brushed aside.
Of course, it was only on the surface.
Now that Jin Dingshan knew of Jin Wuji's death, he absolutely couldn't swallow this anger.
No one knew what would happen then.
Many of the people present were friends with Jin Wuji, and they usually called him brothers. But at this time, not a single one of them spoke up for Jin Wuji. In fact, they didn't even get up to leave. It was as if nothing had happened.
The fickleness of human emotions.
There was nothing wrong with it.
The general principle was that the tea cools when the person is gone.
Besides, Jin Wuji hadn't left, he had died.
Since he was already cold, it would be strange if the tea didn't turn cold.
Two hours later, the banquet ended.
Everyone stood up and bade farewell.
Li Mu also got up and left.
…
…
"Your Highness, could it be that you want to recruit that Mu Mu?"
In the guesthouse, four or five experts from different sects sat down. Among them, a scholar holding a white folding fan opened his mouth and asked.
They were all followers of the Eighth Prince, either openly or secretly.
The Eighth Prince, who was sitting in the main seat, didn't answer directly. Instead, he asked, "Mr. Xiao, what do you think of this Mu Mu?"
The scholar named Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "At today's banquet, I carefully observed this person and gradually felt that he is extraordinary. Not only is his cultivation unfathomable, but his decisiveness in killing is also rare. Jin Wuji has quite a high status in the Golden Peak Mountain, but in the end, he killed him without any hesitation. After killing him, in front of everyone, he took all of Jin Wuji's resources and treasures as his own. His methods are very skillful … Hmm, this person is vicious, greedy, bold, and young. I'm afraid that it won't be easy to subdue him. However, if Your Highness can really take him in as a retainer, he may become a rare valiant general that will definitely be of help to Your Highness in the future."
The Eighth Prince's face revealed a joyful expression, "What Mr. Xiao said is exactly what I was thinking. I think that Mu Mu didn't use his full strength when he killed Jin Wuji today. His strength is higher than we thought. Indeed, Your Highness intends to recruit him as a follower."
Xiao Xiao gently waved the folding fan in his hand and said, "However, this man is unruly and unruly. He does everything according to his own likes and dislikes. I'm afraid it will be very difficult to subdue him. It will take a lot of effort."
The Eighth Prince said, "That's why I've gathered all of you here to help this Prince come up with a plan on how to bring this person into my palace."
"Isn't he greedy? Why don't we give him some benefits? "
A bald expert with a full beard asked tentatively.
The scholar, Xiao Xiao, shook his head and said, "This is a necessary condition, but it is not absolutely effective."
"Seduce him with beauty?"
Another barefoot middle-aged man with sunken eyes said with a smile. He was casually dressed and barefoot.
This man was lecherous, but his strength was extremely strong. He was also one of the Eighth Prince's new confidants.
Xiao Xiao said, "We can try, but it may not work."
The Eighth Prince looked at him and said, "Mr. Xiao, you have always been resourceful. Tell me, what should I do to recruit this Mu Mu?"
Xiao Xiao folded the folding fan in his hand and said, "We can try all the methods that Elder Wang Qing and Elder Liu Hui mentioned just now. But if you want this person to be loyal to Your Highness, there's no harm in trying to get in touch with him again to figure out his preferences. Moreover, Your Highness should try to keep a low profile and treat him with the principles of a nation scholar. If you manage to subdue him with all these methods, it will be very effective."
"Yes. What Mr. Xiao said makes sense. "
The Eighth Prince nodded.
…
…
"It won't be long before the Eighth Prince finds a way to recruit me."
When Li Mu returned to his office, a smile appeared on his face.
He had basically achieved the purpose of attending the banquet tonight.
He had killed Jin Wuji on a whim.
However, Jin Wuji was also courting death by provoking Li Mu.
Li Mu had seen the correspondence between Xie Lanshan and Jin Wuji among the letters from the Yellow Wind City Lord, which described how the two of them had secretly collaborated to kill people and rob their possessions, as well as their vile deeds of harming the innocent. Jin Wuji was the mastermind, and he was full of evil tricks. He had done too many atrocious things.
He deserved to be killed.
Li Mu wanted to use Jin Wuji's death to send a signal to the outside world.
Apart from that, it was also for the Eighth Prince to see.
He had killed Jin Wuji and robbed him of his weapon, immortal robe, and ring. He had purposely shown himself to be irritable and greedy. The more he acted like this, the more the Eighth Prince would let down his guard and think of a way to recruit him.
If everything went smoothly, Li Mu would be able to sneak into the Extreme Emperor Cliff after the Sword Appreciating Festival.
Attacking a fortress from the inside was undoubtedly the most efficient way.
Moreover, through a large force like the Extreme Emperor Cliff, he could clearly understand the power structure of the Dongsheng Continent. If he could go one step further and dig out the Dongxuan Celestial Sect, Devil Stone Tribe, Yi Sword Sect, and other large sects, it would be the best way to provoke them.
This was the plan Li Mu came up with after hearing that the Extreme Emperor Cliff had come.
With the plan set, Li Mu started to cultivate.
No matter what the plan was, it was most important to increase his strength as fast as possible.
To be cautious, Li Mu used the swordsmanship of the Canghai Sect today.
Li Mu himself was a master of broadsword-using methods. But as the saying went, all methods were the same. When Li Mu was on the Fengyun Continent, he had practiced countless swordsmanship and seen Wang Shiyu's swordsmanship. So, he changed his swordsmanship. Although it was not as sharp as broadsword-using methods, it was enough to kill ordinary Genuine Immortals in a second.
The fact that he was the successor of the Canghai Sect would be exposed sooner or later.
All Li Mu had to do was find a suitable time.
He would start laying the groundwork today.
For a long time, Li Mu's public identity would be an immortal beast tamer and a swordsman.
As for the secret, he could use a broadsword.
In the quiet room, Li Mu held the fairy crystal in his hand, absorbed the pure fairy power, and turned it into his own natural essence.
The Sea, Sun, and Moon Immortal Cultivation Method of the Canghai Sect was the general outline of the first step of cultivation. There were three major methods in it, namely, Sea, Sun, and Moon. Among them, the Sun Observation Method was a fire immortal method, which was suitable for Li Mu.
Today, he killed Jin Wuji with the fire immortal power of the Sun Observation Method.
After all, it was the core method of the top sect in the Dongsheng Continent in the past. It was really powerful.
It was not inferior to the fire power of the Emperors' Fire and Immortal Fire that Li Mu cultivated in the Chaotic World.
Time flew.
Li Mu's strength improved by leaps and bounds.
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.
In the past ten days, there were quite a few people who came to visit Li Mu.
Li Mu refused to see them.
Only when the Eighth Prince came did Li Mu come out of the quiet room to meet him.
During this time, there were also experts from the Golden Top Mountain who came to the Sword Pavilion to seek revenge against Li Mu. But they were all stopped by the people from the Huangji Cliff. They couldn't even see Li Mu's face and could only leave in embarrassment.
This matter also made everyone realize that the Eighth Prince wanted to rope in Li Mu.
Since the Huangji Cliff wanted him, the people from the Golden Top Mountain could only pinch their noses and accept Jin Wuji's death.
However, there were rumors that the Eighth Prince had compensated the Golden Top Mountain with some cultivation resources, so they let Mu Mu go.
There were all kinds of news.
Gu Junru was the second person besides the Eighth Prince who could see Li Mu. She would ask to see Li Mu once a day and bring him a lot of news.
She especially described the things about the Golden Top Mountain in detail.
Li Mu only smiled when he heard this and didn't comment.
"Young Master Mu, the Eighth Prince is very fond of you. He seems to want to rope you in." Gu Junru smiled and said as if she was joking, "I wonder if Young Master Mu is interested in joining the Eighth Prince's residence as a guest?"
Huh?
Was this woman here to test the Eighth Prince's intentions?
Li Mu's heart moved and he pretended to answer casually, "I'm still thinking about it. It's not impossible. It's hard to be a wandering cultivator. It's inconvenient to cultivate alone. With the support of a sect, it will save me a lot of trouble."
Gu Junru was stunned.
She originally thought that Li Mu was against being under others.
She didn't expect him to think the opposite.
Could it be that she had guessed wrong?
This Young Master Mu was a true wandering cultivator and not a disciple sent by a big force outside of the Moon River Mansion to explore the land?
If that was the case, the Sword Pavilion also had a chance.
"Young master Mu, although the Forging Sword Pavilion is a small sect in the Fragrance Plains, it does have some strengths when it comes to forging swords. Young master is a sword cultivator. If my Forging Sword Pavilion is willing to forge a sword for young master, I wonder if young master will consider becoming a guest elder of my Forging Sword Pavilion?"
Gu Junru said anxiously.
This was also her task.
