The Dafeng Chamber of Commerce was not afraid of offending a super master in the Master Realm.
However, the Dafeng Chamber of Commerce had to think twice before offending a super master in the Great Master Realm.
The reason why the branch of the World Chamber of Commerce in Chang 'an City could be unimpeded in the Chang' an Mansion and enjoyed an outstanding status was that it had a super expert in the Great Master Realm in charge. Even the Chang 'an Yamen, which represented the majesty of the empire, had to give face to this Great Master.
Moreover, Li Mu was so young.
There was a world of difference between such a young martial grandmaster and such a young martial grandmaster.
Some talented geniuses might not be able to complete the journey from Master Realm to Great Master in their lifetime.
Not every grandmaster could become a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage in the end. Resources, fortuitous encounters, talent, hard work … all sorts of factors were indispensable.
The path of martial arts was to go against the natural order, to draw power from heaven and earth, and to change the constitution and spirit of human beings destined by the heavens. This behavior of breaking the shackles of the heavens with human power was to fight against the heavens. If the process from an ordinary person to the Joint-force Level, Joint-qi Level, and Joint-thoughts Level was a simple quantitative change, then from Master Realm to Great Master was like a fish leaping through the dragon gate, which could be said to be a qualitative change.
Just like a Great Master, he could go anywhere in the world.
Although the Dafeng Chamber of Commerce was the best among the local chambers of commerce in Chang 'an, it was only among the local chambers of commerce. The consequences of offending a Great Master were terrible.
"Unfilial son, who on earth did you offend?"
Zhou Dedao asked Zhou Yu with a frightened look.
"He's just an abandoned son. The magistrate will deal with him sooner or later. So what if he's a Great Master? It's not like no Great Master has ever died in this world. "Zhou Yu roared as if he had lost his mind.
…
…
"Young Master Mu … It's really you. I …" Xia Ju felt a warmth inside her body. Her injuries had begun to recover. The scars on her body also gave her a numbing sensation. They were scabbing and healing at an incredible speed. "Last night, Zhou Yu told me that Young Master had come back. I thought he was lying to me. I didn't expect … Does Madame know about it? I … I can come down and walk by myself. "
"Mother already knows. I'm sorry. I should have come earlier last night." Li Mu said apologetically.
Holding Xia Ju in his arms, Li Mu leaped from building to building in Chang 'an City and performed the body-lightening skill to the extreme. Like a wisp of smoke, he dashed toward the Heaven Sword Martial Club as fast as lightning.
"Let's bring Big Sister Qiu Yi home."
He said.
On the way, Li Mu bought a set of clothes in a women's clothing store and asked Xia Ju to change into them. Then, he took Xia Ju to the Heaven Sword Martial Club.
Originally, he planned to take Xia Ju back to the Pig-Herding Alley first and then save her. But when he thought of the abuse Xia Ju suffered in the Zhou Mansion, he was afraid that Qiu Yi would also suffer in the Heaven Sword Martial Club. Therefore, he could not waste any more time and directly took Xia Ju to the Li Mansion.
About half an hour later, Li Mu and Xia Ju arrived at the gate of the Heaven Sword Martial Club.
…
As a famous martial club in Chang 'an City, the Heaven Sword Martial Club was built in an imposing manner. The five-meter-high decorated archway was connected to a wide martial club street. After walking for a hundred meters along the martial club street, they arrived at the front gate of the Heaven Sword Martial Club. The gate was 10 meters high and was entirely carved with white marble. On both sides of the gate, there were eight stone pillars with coiling dragons supporting the gate. The plaque was inscribed with the words "Heaven Sword Asks for the Way" by the current head of the Heaven Sword Sect, which looked extraordinary. There were also two 6.6-meter-high real dragon statues placed on both sides of the gate.
Sixteen strong men at the Joint-thoughts level, wearing red armors and carrying fine steel Ghost Head Sabers on their backs, were standing on both sides of the door, and each of them was holding a fierce flaming tiger. Their eyes were as sharp as knives, and they were vigilantly glancing at every passerby.
Different from chambers of commerce and consortiums, the main business of a martial club was to teach people martial arts. Therefore, it had a large number of disciples and experts. Therefore, the strength of the Heaven Sword Martial Club was much stronger than that of the Dafeng chamber of commerce.
Li Mu and Xia Ju appeared at the gate of the martial club.
They arrived.
Li Mu took Xia Ju straight to the gate.
"Stop." A guard, who was leading a fierce tiger in flames, stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, are you here to learn martial arts from your master?"
However, before he finished his words, he was dazzled, and then Li Mu and Xia Ju were gone.
"What happened?"
"You … Did you see that?" The guard was shocked and looked at his companions.
The others were also shocked and doubtful.
"Did I see it wrong?"
At the same time, Li Mu had entered the yard of the Heaven Sword Martial Club.
The whole front yard was connected by ten practicing fields, each covering an area of ten acres. Young men and women in standard swordsman uniforms were divided into different groups and practicing swordsmanship on different practicing fields. There were as many as a thousand people. But they were all warriors who had just entered the martial club. Their average strength was about the beginning of the Joint-thoughts level. But there were experts at the peak of the Joint-thoughts level on each practicing field to guide them.
After Li Mu and Xia Ju entered the martial club, they did not encounter any more obstacles.
Some young disciples were still looking at them curiously, but they were scolded by the instructors for being distracted.
Li Mu rubbed his eyebrows.
The area of the Heaven Sword Martial Club was larger than that of the Zhou Mansion, and there were more people, so it would be more difficult to find Qiu Yi.
"It seems that I have to use other methods."
"Sister Xia Ju, do you have Sister Qiu Yi's personal belongings?" Li Mu asked.
Xia Ju did not understand why Li Mu asked that, but she still carefully thought about it, took a delicate embroidered purse from her neck, and said with a hint of sadness in her eyes, "In this purse, there are the hair of me, Qiu Yi, Dong Xue, and Spring Grass. It is the purse that Old Lady made for us when we parted. She left it with us as a memento … Is this okay?"
"Hair?" A hint of joy flashed in Li Mu's eyes. "That's great."
He took the purse, took out a few hairs, connected the thumb and middle finger of his right hand, pinched the hairs on his fingertips, and read the incantation, "Jia Zhen, Yi Li, Bing Xin Kun, Ding Qian, Wu Kan, Ji Xun Men, Geng Sun, Geng Duan, Ren Gui can be found on Gen … Look at the sky as the lamp, look at the ground as the guide, look at the stars as the guide, look at the clouds as the road, find the owner of this hair, and open the way for me … As urgent as the law, lead!"
The incantation was finished.
A wonderful force was generated from the hair on Li Mu's fingertips. One flew in the direction of the Pig-Herding Alley, which was Spring Grass's hair. One flew in the direction of the Ning Mansion, which was Dong Xue's hair. Another fell on Xia Ju, which was Xia Ju's hair. The last one, however, shot in the direction of the Heaven Sword Martial Club, which was Qiu Yi's hair.
"Let's go."
Li Mu took Xia Ju's hand and moved forward with the hair.
After crossing the front yard, the hair swam in the direction of the backyard.
Li Mu and Qiu Yi followed closely.
On the way, someone finally blocked the way and asked about their origin. But as soon as the words left his mouth, he felt dizzy, and then he lost sight of Li Mu and Qiu Yi.
Li Mu did not want to be entangled with those kids. He wanted to find Qiu Yi first.
His current strength had reached a high level, and with the help of the old faker's Taoist magic arts, it was totally easy for him to hide from the disciples of the Heaven Sword Martial Club along the way.
Along the way, they met countless experts of the Heaven Sword Martial Club, but when they passed by Li Mu and Qiu Yi, they seemed to have completely ignored them.
In the end, the two went all the way to the backyard of the Heaven Sword Martial Club without any hindrance.
The backyard was the private residence of the owner. Ordinary disciples were not allowed to enter unless invited. But the family and servants of the current owner, the Heaven-breaking Legend Sword Zhang Chengfeng, could go in and out.
Qiu Yi's hair came to the front of a rockery in the backyard garden and slipped in through the gap.
"Huh? It seems that there is a secret room. " Standing beside the rockery, Li Mu knocked on it and had a bad feeling. Qiu Yi was forced to come here, so she was at most a concubine or a maid. It was absolutely impossible for her to get in touch with the black-hearted secrets of the Heaven Sword Martial Club. How could she be put in the secret room?
Unable to find the mechanism, Li Mu could not open the door of the secret chamber. After a moment of hesitation, he pressed his palm on the rock of the rockery where the hair had disappeared. With a little force, the whole rock of the rockery turned into powder and scattered. Behind it, a tunnel leading to the stairs appeared.
Li Mu took Xia Ju and stepped in.
He recited the incantation again, and the strand of hair appeared, guiding Li Mu into the basement of the Heaven Sword Martial Club. No, to be precise, it was like an underground palace, with twists and turns connected to different spaces. It was much more magnificent and exquisite than the underground secret chamber of Ma San and the other ruffians he saw in Peace Town that day. Obviously, it had been built for a long time. Along the way, Li Mu met several groups of patrolling warriors, all of whom were wearing scarlet masks, like ghosts walking underground.
However, under the Taoist magic arts performed by Li Mu, the two were not exposed.
Along the way, Li Mu saw that in this underground maze, there were elixir refining rooms, weapon refining workshops, weapon storage rooms, wine cellars, arsenals, secret books rooms, and confinement rooms, in which some disciples who had made mistakes were imprisoned. Basically, they were sentenced to death. In the deeper part, there was a prison, where some unidentified Jianghu people were imprisoned. Most of them were pierced through their scapulae and locked with heavy special shackles, so they could not move. Li Mu guessed that they should be martial arts masters who had a grudge against the Heaven Sword Martial Club and were caught here.
Of course, there were more than a dozen torture rooms, large and small, which were used to torture prisoners.
In the torture rooms, screams were constantly coming out. Li Mu did not know who was being tortured.
Seeing all this, Xia Ju could not help but show a look of horror on her face.
She was just a little maid, and she had never seen such a dark place.
Li Mu had a more and more bad feeling in his heart.
In the end, under the guidance of the hair, the two came to an empty cellar in the deepest part of the underground maze.
When the door of the cellar was pushed open, a pungent smell of blood came to their faces.
"This is …" Li Mu glanced over and was immediately shocked.
In the huge cellar, there were densely packed corpses, including human corpses and various animal corpses, most of which were fierce beasts. It was like a slaughterhouse. The surface of these corpses, without exception, was covered with dense sword marks. Some of the animals were not completely dead, and were wailing and struggling. The ground was soaked with blood, just like a hell.
