The King of the Mansion of the Dead and Daoist Yi Yuan hurried over. Not only did they want to kill Wang Shiyu and eliminate the possibility of the other Ji Qi appearing, but they also wanted to obtain the Sword God's inheritance from Wang Shiyu.
Even if they were not sword cultivators.
But they also wanted to comprehend that mysterious new power.
The Immortal Ancient Arena Great Battle was imminent.
They had to end the battle quickly.
Therefore, they didn't want to waste any more time and directly launched their supernatural powers to attack Li Mu.
A world-shaking battle was about to break out.
Li Mu's eyes were filled with coldness.
He held the knife in his hand.
He was about to make his move.
Just then —
Xiu!
A beam of sword light broke through the void.
The Immortal Heart Sword Ancestor appeared in the Void.
"Two sect leaders, why are you joining hands to deal with a junior?"
He was dressed in a black robe, and there were faintly discernible sword lights revolving around his body. He looked mighty even without being angry.
The attacks of the King of the Netherworld and Daoist Yi Yuan came to an abrupt halt.
"Sword Ancestor, are you going to kill the successor of the Sword God as well?" Daoist Yi Yuan asked.
The Sword Ancestor said indifferently, "You're wrong. Ji Qi is a friend of my Immortal Heart Sword Sect. I will naturally take care of his disciple. Why would I do anything that would endanger his life?"
As he spoke, he looked at Li Mu, nodded with a smile, and said, "Thank you for your help, young friend."
Li Mu nodded.
The King of the Underworld sneered and said, "You old fox, I'm afraid you also covet that kind of Sword Dao power and came here for Ji Qi's inheritance profound meaning, right? You speak so sanctimoniously, but you're actually full of evil tricks."
The sword ancestor smiled faintly and said: "This old man has a clear conscience when doing things, so you don't have to fan the flames and sow discord here. Fellow Daoists, leave a way out when doing things, there's no need to be ruthless. Please return."
The King of the Underworld and Daoist Yi Yuan looked at each other and nodded.
Without saying a word, his figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.
He really left.
It was not that they had changed their minds.
It was because he had no other choice.
Li Mu alone was enough to give them a headache.
It was especially so for Daoist Yiyuan, who had been injured by Li Mu before.
If the two of them worked together, they might have a chance of winning.
If there was another Immortal Heart Sword Ancestor at the same level as them, they would have no chance in a two-on-two battle.
In the Immortal Ancient arena battles, when the situation of the struggle for the key had developed to such a heated state of close combat, if they were to waste so much time and energy on something that didn't have much of a chance, then it truly wouldn't make up for the losses.
Weighing the pros and cons.
He made a prompt decision.
In the world of adults, there was only profit.
It was even more so for powerhouses like them who stood at the peak of the Immortal World.
Standing where he was, Li Mu somewhat admired the decisiveness of the two magnates.
Although they had already shed all pretenses of cordiality, as long as things didn't work out, they would leave immediately. They really didn't care about their personal pride.
"Thank you, little friend."
The Immortal Heart Sword Ancestor smiled and cupped his hands as he watched the two giants leave.
Li Mu looked at him and asked, "Why are you thanking me?"
The Immortal Heart Sword Ancestor said kindly, "If it weren't for your help today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to resist the siege of the King of Hell and Daoist Yiyuan. The successor of the Sword God would have been in danger."
Li Mu said, "If that's the case, then there's no need to thank me. Because Wang Shiyu is also a member of the Divine Halls, it's reasonable for me to protect her. "
"Hahaha, little friend, I admire your noble character and unquestionable integrity." The Immortal Heart Sword Ancestor said, "Little friend, your talent is amazing and unparalleled. You've already established your power, but you still think of the Divine Halls as your own. Such breadth of mind is really rare in today's world."
'Old thing.'
Li Mu cursed inwardly.
'You're trying to bewitch me here.'
"I'm just following my heart." Li Mu said, "Thank you for your help, Senior Sword Ancestor. Now that this matter is over, you can return to the side hall of the Immortal Heart Sword Sect and preside over the overall situation. I'll be the guardian here."
The Immortal Heart Sword Ancestor smiled and said, "Little friend, you're wrong. The Sword God Ji Qi is a good friend of mine. Before the battle, he specially paid a visit to the Immortal Heart Sword Sect and asked me to look after his successor if anything happened to him. Therefore, I'll be the one to look after him today. Little friend, you don't have to worry. "
The expression on Li Mu's face became more and more indifferent.
The tea cools when the people are gone.
The Sword God Ji Qi was already dead.
'How could you, the Immortal Heart Sword Ancestor, be so devoted?'
'For the sake of the successor of the Sword God Ji Qi, you don't even care about your own Immortal Ancient Battle?'
To be honest, Li Mu didn't believe it.
This distrust was not groundless, but based on the consistent style of scheming and scheming among the seven major forces in the entire Blessed Land of Immortals.
Not to mention the Immortal Heart Sword Sect, even the God of War Ye Kuanglang and the others of the Divine Palaces seemed decent, but in fact, they were just using Li Mu and the others.
That was a trend.
In the eyes of the immortals of the Blessed Land of Immortals, outsiders were only qualified to be used. They would never trust them.
The Sword God Ji Qi was the only one.
That was also the reason why Li Mu was in awe of the Sword God Ji Qi.
It was also the reason why Li Mu was at ease to let Wang Shiyu absorb the inheritance of the Sword God Ji Qi.
Except for Ji Qi, to be honest, Li Mu didn't want to trust anyone else.
Even if the Immortal Heart Sword Ancestor really cared about Wang Shiyu, Li Mu was not willing to take the risk.
It was better to be safe than sorry.
Li Mu said indifferently, "Senior, can you hurt Taoist Yi Yuan with one move?"
The Immortal Heart Sword Ancestor's expression froze slightly. He said, "What do you mean, little friend?"
Li Mu didn't answer, but asked again, "Senior, can you defeat the King of the Nether Mansion, Taoist Yi Yuan, and some ambitious wolves on your own?"
The Immortal Heart Sword Ancestor's expression became unnatural. With a wry smile, he said, "I can't do either of the two things you mentioned."
He admitted it very frankly.
Li Mu said, "In that case, senior, you'd better leave. Leave this to me."
The Immortal Heart Sword Ancestor looked at Li Mu, his eyes frozen, and with undisguised doubt, he said, "Can you do those two things?"
Li Mu nodded calmly and said, "I can."
The Immortal Heart Sword Ancestor smiled and was about to say something, but when he suddenly met Li Mu's eyes and saw the calmness in them, he didn't know why his sword heart inexplicably trembled, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say.
"Even so, I can't leave."
The Immortal Heart Sword Ancestor was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm not only following Ji Qi's last words, but also under the request of the four gods of the Gods Island to protect the successor of the Sword God. Little friend, you don't trust me, and I also have doubts about you."
Li Mu's heart skipped a beat.
In that case, Ye Kuanglang, Pei Wei, Wu Yun, and Zhu Chaojiu knew that Ji Qi's successor had returned to the Gods Island, but they didn't show up to protect him. Was it because they asked the Immortal Heart Sword Ancestor to come to the rescue?
Logically speaking, it made sense.
"Little friend, since you don't want to leave, why don't the two of us protect the successor of the Sword God together?"
The Immortal Heart Sword Ancestor said in an indisputable tone.
Li Mu raised his eyebrows and said no more.
"Hahaha …" The Immortal Heart Sword Ancestor let out a long laugh, and the sword light swirling behind him suddenly whizzed out, completely like the scorching sun. Beams of light and shadows pierced through the Void and filled the sky, as if the stars were falling and pierced through the universe.
It was the same.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
"Puff!"
"Puff!"
Blossoms of blood suddenly blossomed in the void.
Some immortals who didn't give up and hid in the dark, trying to fish in troubled waters, couldn't escape the magical sword power of the Immortal Heart Sword Ancestor. Broken limbs fell like dumplings.
"Why aren't you leaving?"
The Immortal Heart Sword Ancestor shouted, "Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life. I only want to protect people, not kill people. Don't force me to kill."
This time, he only punished them slightly, not killed them.
In the void, ripples flickered, and then quickly calmed down.
Those who had been hiding in the dark all fled.
After all, the Immortal Heart Sword Ancestor was one of the seven top leaders of the Blessed Land of Immortals. His deterrent power was not inferior to the sudden rise of Li Mu. Under the combination of kindness and power, those immortals who were hoping to get lucky finally realized that they couldn't do anything.
He was very strong.
Li Mu watched from the side and made a judgment.
The head of the Immortal Heart Sword Sect had amazing combat power, not inferior to Taoist Yi Yuan, the king of the Hell Mansion, and other giants.
"My young friend, you and I don't trust each other, so we can keep each other in check."
The Immortal Heart Sword Ancestor put away his sword and said, "It will take a long time for the successor of the Sword God to integrate Ji Qi's inheritance. My young friend, you are a person whose name is engraved on the Immortal Ancient scroll. Sooner or later, you will go to the Immortal Ancient arena. When the light of guidance descends, you can't resist it. How will you protect the successor of the Sword God then?"
Li Mu didn't say anything.
That was exactly what he was worried about.
The Immortal Heart Sword Ancestor wasn't a person on the Immortal Ancient scroll. Although the battle list in the scroll was no longer accurate, those who didn't have their name engraved had a much lower probability of going to the arena than those who did.
What if he was forced to go to the arena when the light of guidance descended and Wang Shiyu hadn't successfully integrated Ji Qi's inheritance?
"My young friend, you should believe me." The Immortal Heart Sword Ancestor said, "I have no reason to harm a junior, a junior of my best friend."
Li Mu was silent.
The Immortal Heart Sword Ancestor thought for a moment and said, "I am willing to make a Taoist oath. So, are you willing to believe me?"
Li Mu's heart skipped a beat and he said, "Sure."
The Immortal Heart Sword Ancestor smiled, and the sword intent around him slowly spread out. He put his right hand together like a sword and pointed to the sky, saying, "I swear by the origin of the immortal path that if I don't sincerely protect the successor of the Sword God and have other thoughts, I will definitely …"
At this point, he paused slightly and looked at Li Mu.
Li Mu was listening attentively. Seeing him stop, he said, "What do you think?"
"Whatever you say," said the Immortal Heart Sword Ancestor.
Li Mu said, "If you violate the oath, I will make you wish you were dead, and your Immortal Heart Sword Sect will be annihilated."
That was a serious oath.
The Immortal Heart Sword Ancestor smiled and said, "My young friend, what you said is true …"
As he said this, a cunning and mocking smile appeared on his face.
Li Mu's face changed, and he said, "Oh no …"
The next moment, something strange happened.
A shadow, without anyone noticing, had already approached Wang Shiyu, who was comprehending the integration of the inheritance. The sword in its hand was placed on Wang Shiyu's neck, but it didn't slash down. Instead, it looked up at Li Mu and grinned, full of mockery.
That face, was astonishingly …
The Immortal Heart Sword Ancestor!!!
