"If you don't have anything to do, can't you walk with Master Mu?"
Xia Jing said with a smile.
Li Mu turned around and said nothing.
"I remember that Young Master Mu once said that if the thirteenth prince tried to assassinate Ouyang Yi again, he would lose his life. Hee hee, until now, Young Master Mu still hasn't fulfilled his promise." Xia Jing followed behind Li Mu, skipping along.
"I was just bluffing. Don't take it seriously."
Li Mu said calmly.
Xia Jing couldn't help but be stunned when she heard that.
Li Mu gave her the impression that he was a mysterious expert who kept his promise. Even at the Crown Prince's banquet, he was still the same.
Powerful.
Scary.
Calm and unfathomable.
That was Mu Mu.
But the answer Li Mu just gave was totally beyond Xia Jing's expectation.
So perfunctory?
The four words "bluffing" had a kind of power that made people not know whether to laugh or cry. It made Xia Jing's image of Li Mu fall from the high clouds. But that did not disappoint her. On the contrary, she was more interested in Li Mu.
"Master, you must be joking." Xia Jing squinted her eyes. She was as innocent as a girl next door.
Li Mu was about to say something.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of them.
"Sigh, what a sin."
"Wei Rulong from the Dongxuan Celestial Sect is too arrogant."
"What happened?"
"How domineering! Not only did he humiliate the female fairies of Spring Glory Brothel, but he also beat the owner of Spring Glory Brothel to death … This is the tenth person he has killed in the short few days he has been in the Imperial City."
"What does he think the Extreme Emperor Cliff is?"
"Unfortunately, the new Crown Prince has been swallowing his anger in order to win the approval of the big sects. He is too lenient with the foreign messengers."
Curses filled with righteous indignation rang out.
Soon, they saw a group of cultivators in green robes rushing over from the street.
The leader was a young man who looked to be in his twenties. His cultivation base was ordinary and he looked as if he had been sucked dry by alcohol and women. His inner yuan was weak and his hair was messy. In the crowded street, he laughed loudly as if there was no one else around. "Haha, not bad. The girls of the Extreme Emperor Cliff have a unique style.
A group of immortals from the Dongxuan Immortal Sect flew past them.
Seeing Li Mu staring at them, one of them turned his head and scolded, "What are you looking at? Was he courting death? Lower your dog head. "
Li Mu remained silent.
In the end, this group of people did not stop and disappeared at the end of the street.
At that moment, Li Mu sensed that Xia Jing, the Blissful Fairy, had concealed her aura and covered her face when she came face to face with those from the Dongxuan Celestial Sect.
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Li Mu's mouth.
Whether it was in the mortal world or the immortal world, there were such people.
However, this was a good opportunity.
In his mind, he gradually had some ideas.
Xia Jing said with a charming smile, "Young Master Mu, I have not repaid you for saving my life that day. Today, I have prepared a few cups of wine. I wonder if Young Master Mu can do me the honor of having a chat with me?"
Li Mu stood still.
He turned around.
Looking at Xia Jing, he used a very normal tone and said lightly, "Saving you that day was like seeing a stray cat or dog fall into a quagmire. There's no special meaning to it. I won't make any comments about your style of doing things, but …"
Speaking of this, Li Mu said very sincerely, "Curiosity killed the cat. I have no interest in you. So, you'd better stay away from me."
Before his voice died away —
Li Mu's figure directly disappeared on the spot.
The smile on Xia Jing's face faded slightly. She was stunned for a few breaths of time. Then, like the 'wind ruffling a pond of spring water', an even more proud and brilliant smile spread across her almost flawless and beautiful face.
"I really am more and more interested."
She stood on the street with a smile.
The passers-by, men and women, were all looking at the woman who was blooming like a fire rose with amazement.
No matter where she went, Xia Jing could easily become the focus of attention.
…
Two hours later, the reward from the new crown prince was sent to the Happy House.
Li Mu accepted it without hesitation.
The immortal armor and the immortal sword were not more than second-grade.
But 500 kilograms of immortal crystals were enough.
The immortal crystals Li Mu obtained from killing the old Golden Immortal and the immortal crystals left by Lu Haoran of the Sea Sect had been used up when he merged the Phoenix Sword and the Dark Gold Dark Broadsword. The 1,000 gold-colored fairy crystals could probably support him for a while.
"Continue to cultivate."
Li Mu began to do closed-door training.
With the fairy crystals, Li Mu's cultivation speed became very fast.
The last time he forcibly merged the sword and the broadsword, the majestic immortal energy accumulated in Li Mu's body to the extreme. For a time, his body was like a balloon that had been stretched to the limit, and it could hold more energy.
Li Mu's cultivation speed was almost visible to the naked eye.
Another month passed.
Li Mu actually rushed straight to the peak of the Banished Immortal.
This progress could be said to be unprecedented.
Those peerless geniuses in the Immortal World, even if they came from top forces, needed three to five years to cross a big realm, and the higher the level, the more difficult it was. But Li Mu only took a few months to reach the peak of the Banished Immortal from the Flying Immortal Realm.
"I don't know why, when I return to the Immortal World, I have the illusion of a tiger in the mountains and a fish returning to the sea. When I cultivate, it seems to be more suitable than in the Ziwei Star Zone and the Chaotic World."
With the sixth-grade fairy weapon of the Immortal-slaying Sword, Li Mu could be said to be able to kill a Golden Immortal in a real head-on battle.
He continued to cultivate.
One month later.
The time was ripe.
The old emperor of Huangji Cliff abdicated.
He issued three decrees in succession to pass the throne to the new crown prince.
The new crown prince refused three times and finally "reluctantly" accepted and was willing to ascend the throne.
The whole country celebrated.
The day of ascending the throne was undoubtedly the most glorious and glorious day of the Eighth Prince.
He sat high up on the throne, looking down at the respectful and subservient faces. At this moment, it was as if his life had reached its climax.
In addition to the officials of the Huangji Cliff, there were also many envoys from other forces and famous experts who were invited to attend the ceremony.
And among them, there were envoys from the Donghuang Divine Dynasty, one of the three major forces of the Yuechuan Mansion.
In addition, envoys from the Dongxuan Celestial Sect and the Solitary Sword Sect, which Li Mu had been longing for, were also there.
Li Mu clearly remembered the faces of the envoys from the two sects.
"By the will of heaven, the new emperor has summoned …"
Next to him, the eunuch announced the decree and rewarded the meritorious officials.
All the meritorious officials were rewarded.
Li Mu was among them.
This time, he was directly promoted to the Commander of the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Inspector of the Nine Gates. With these two positions, his rank did not change, but his authority was greater. He was directly in charge of the security of the Imperial Palace and had the right to inspect the Nine Gates of the Imperial City at any time.
As the most popular person in the crown prince's mansion, he could be said to be the most popular person in the dynasty.
The coronation ceremony was grand and illustrious.
The new emperor's ambition and will were carried out very thoroughly.
At this time, the First Prince, the 13th Prince, and the others had all been stripped of their military power. Their guests were dismissed and they were forced to attend the coronation ceremony.
It was a kind of humiliation.
It was also a kind of show off.
Li Mu, dressed in immortal armor and with a long sword at his waist, stood at the side of the main hall.
In the eyes of others, Li Mu was the most loyal dog of the new emperor.
They all looked at Li Mu with awe and veneration.
The entire coronation ceremony went smoothly and peacefully. There were no disruptions or twists as expected.
The new emperor's control of the court was beyond many people's imagination.
After the ceremony, Li Mu was on duty.
Li Mu did not attend the various banquets and celebrations that followed. Instead, he dutifully led the imperial guards to patrol around the imperial palace. After confirming that everything was safe, he returned to the temporary official residence set up in the imperial palace to take a rest.
Gradually, it was late at night.
The entire imperial city was still immersed in the atmosphere of celebration.
In the middle of the night, a furious roar came from the VIP hotel area.
"Someone's dead. Someone's been killed …"
Then, the entire VIP hotel was in a mess.
The news was sent to the imperial palace immediately.
The new emperor, who had just rested, was startled.
"What happened? How dare you disturb me in the middle of the night? "
The new emperor said unhappily.
"Your Majesty, the messenger of the Dongxuan Celestial Sect was assassinated. The murderer is unknown …" Eunuch Li Sun reported in fear.
"What?"
The new emperor, who was still in his sleeping robe, was so shocked that his scalp went numb. He immediately stood up and rushed out of the tent barefooted. He shouted, "Summon Xiao Xiao."
Xiao Xiao was the Left Deputy Prime Minister of the new dynasty. He was in charge of receiving the messengers from the major forces.
He did not expect such a big mess to happen.
Soon, Xiao Xiao entered the palace to see the new emperor.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
The new emperor's tone was not very pleasant.
Xiao Xiao knelt on the ground in fear, but he maintained his composure. He said, "Your Majesty, I've already sent someone to investigate. This should have nothing to do with the Huangji Cliff. The messenger of the Dongxuan Celestial Sect was killed because he made enemies."
A look of relief appeared on the new emperor's face.
Killed by enemies?
This should be a blessing in disguise.
"However, the messenger was killed in the imperial city. We must give the Dongxuan Celestial Sect an explanation. Otherwise, with their domineering style, I'm afraid they will stir up trouble again," the new emperor said.
Xiao Xiao said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will take care of it."
The new emperor nodded. "Mm, you've been with me for many years. You've put in a lot of effort and made great contributions. That's why I've taken on a lot of criticism and made an exception to promote you to a second-rank official. I trust you, but you need to do a few more good things and show your talents to the other officials. Only then will you be able to convince them and I'll give you more."
Xiao Xiao looked like he was moved to tears. He prostrated himself on the ground. "Your Majesty's kindness is something that I can't repay even if I die."
However, he felt a chill in his heart.
