"Mu, you shouldn't have let the Four Sages go."
The Astral Wind was howling around.
Li Lin said worriedly.
"Dad, are you worried that the Wizard Ancestor will report our arrival?"
High in the sky, Li Mu rode his broadsword and carried his parents.
Li Lin said, "Exactly. Since the [Immortal Venomous Worm] is related to the Sorcerer Ancestor, then the Sorcerer Ancestor must be inextricably linked to your past. It is very likely that he is your enemy. Once they release the news, the hidden hand behind the scenes will definitely launch a frenzied attack against you. After all, you are now in the Middle Three Heavens and not in a secret realm. They can directly find you.
Xue Rui also had such concerns.
"Haha, they want to find me, and I want to find them." Li Mu said confidently, "If they are all hiding underground, we are new to this place and we are not familiar with it. How long will it take us to find them? I deliberately asked the Four Sages to report and spread the news."
Li Lin and Xue Rui looked at each other and were speechless.
They couldn't keep up with Li Mu's thinking.
Shouldn't he just stay in the Middle Three Heavens and slowly develop?
After all, this was the Middle Three Heavens.
It was the place where the top immortals lived.
How could a new ascendant fight against the old immortals?
But Li Mu just didn't play by the rules.
He actually wanted to play the hunter and cast the bait to catch the fish.
They thought it was very risky to defeat the Wizard Clan.
They didn't expect that Li Mu would do something even crazier.
However, after thinking about it, they didn't know what to say.
Because they had been in contact with Li Mu for a long time, they had long seen that Li Mu was a very determined person. Once he made up his mind to do something, others' persuasion was almost useless.
What was more, the couple admitted that they knew too little about Li Mu.
They couldn't keep up with Li Mu's pace and rhythm.
Their own ideas might not be right.
"Then where are we going now?"
Xue Rui asked.
"Dad, Mom," Li Mu explained patiently, "Let's go to Ningping City of the ascendants first and settle you down for the time being."
"The ascendants camp?"
Li Lin nodded and said, "Well, now we are also ascendants, so we have a natural close relationship."
When they heard that Li Mu was not crazy enough to set up a guerrilla attack near the Wizard Ancestor, the two of them were relieved.
The Ascender Camp was quite far away from the Sorcerer Ancestor's territory.
Riding on his flying broadsword, Li Mu traveled for a full 10 days before he walked out of the area ruled by Taoist Dream and entered the area of the ascendants.
He was very fast.
The enemy hiding in the dark in the illusion had yet to react and had yet to find any trace of him.
On this day.
The three of them finally arrived at the edge of the Vast Sea Forest in the eastern region of the ascenders' camp.
There was a city belonging to the ascenders, called Ningping City.
Ning Ping City was the largest strategic town in the vicinity of the Oceanic Forest, and it was like a reef that hadn't fallen after a thousand years. It guarded at the forefront of the ascender's territory, and it formed a triangle with Ning Zhen City and Ning Wang City, causing its geographical location to be extremely important.
Outside the city.
In a vast expanse of spiritual fields.
There should be quite a number of people.
There were also troops stationed in the suburbs.
"Little brother, did you really just ascend?"
Outside the city, Li Mu and the two of them were screened as expected.
There was a garrison in the city called Ning Ping Iron Guards, who were all experts selected from the ascenders and their descendants. They patrolled and defended on weekdays and fought in wartime. It was a powerful immortal military force that had been tempered by countless years of war.
The man who asked Li Mu was called Wang Chuxuan, the deputy commander of the Ning Ping Iron Guards.
He was an elegant middle-aged man with three locks of long black beard. His cultivation was probably in the Fairy Realm, which was very impressive.
He was followed by 40 guards of the Wandering Camp, all of whom were also in the Fairy Realm, so they could not be underestimated.
Li Mu said, "Yes, we ascended from the Kunlun Secret Realm and specially came to seek shelter."
Li Mu did not tell him the specific details.
Wang Chuxuan slightly narrowed his eyes, which were as bright as snow, as if they could pierce people's hearts and see the deepest secrets in people's hearts.
He was very serious.
This was because it was always an extremely important matter for new ascenders to seek refuge with them.
The ascenders' camp welcomed any ascenders from the inferior world with open arms.
That was the most basic principle of the camp.
But there was a big problem, which was that this principle could easily be used by the Taoist Master Alliance to plant some undercover agents.
There used to be undercover agents of the Taoist Master Alliance in the ascenders' camp. They developed smoothly and occupied a high position, which once brought great disasters and losses to the camp, almost leading to the collapse of the whole camp.
Therefore, the task of screening the real ascenders became very difficult.
They would not miss an ascender.
They would not miss an undercover agent.
Especially in a border town like Ning Ping City, they did not dare to be careless.
Wang Chuxuan glanced at them and found the problem.
Li Lin and Xue Rui were indeed stained with the aura of the inferior world. They had not completely transformed into immortal aura, so they were not faking it. But their strength was far from enough to ascend. If they relied on themselves, it was absolutely impossible for them to ascend to the Middle Three Heavens.
And Li Mu was even more strange.
The young man was overflowing with immortal aura. He had completely completed the transformation.
Moreover, Wang Chuxuan could not tell whether his strength was high or low.
"Little brother, according to the rules, we have to ask some information. I hope you can understand and cooperate."
Wang Chuxuan did not make a rash conclusion, but said rather kindly.
"Of course."
Li Mu nodded.
Therefore, Xue Rui, Li Lin, and Li Mu were separately taken to a formation far away from each other, and began to be questioned by different people.
A moment later, three personal guards came to Wang Chuxuan's temporary tent outside the city with three questionnaires, looking shocked.
"The faces of the three of you …"
Wang Chuxuan smiled and picked up one of the questionnaires. After a few glances, his elegant and handsome face could not help showing a look of shock.
Immediately, he picked up the other two questionnaires and read them again. The shock on his face became more and more intense.
Over the years, the Ning City Iron Guards had developed a very sophisticated method of inquiring about the origin of the ascenders, and whether they were real or fake. All the questions, whether they were real or fake, were filled with traps. For a single ascender, it might be easy to deal with, but for a group of people who ascended together, once they were interrogated, they could quickly judge whether they were real or fake based on the results of the interrogation.
The accuracy rate could reach more than 90%.
And now, after the most authoritative evaluation of the three questionnaires in front of them, the conclusion was —
True!
But the problem was that it was true.
Why?
Because the contents of the questionnaires were too shocking.
The young man named Li Mu took his parents to ascend by himself, and then directly suppressed the Witch Ancestor and the Four Sages, forcing them to detoxify the Gu for his parents, and then crossed thousands of miles to come to Ningping City in ten days.
How, how could a rookie who had just ascended do such a thing?
Even Wang Chuxuan could not do it, could he?
Judging from the contents, the young man named Li Mu had at least the cultivation of a Genuine Immortal before he ascended.
Could a Genuine Immortal be born in the Lower Three Heavens?
Was it possible?
There was nothing more absurd in the world than this.
But if the three men were spies sent by the Taoist Alliance, their identities and images were too absurd. What was the difference between telling the camp that they were spies?
The Taoist Alliance could not do such a stupid thing.
Wang Chuxuan had been on duty outside Ningping City for a hundred years, but he had never been so stunned as today.
His forehead was even covered with a layer of fine sweat.
"Should I let them into the city?"
"Guards, quickly send these three questionnaires to the mansion of the city lord."
Wang Chuxuan ordered.
A guard took the questionnaires and immediately flew away.
"Your Honor, Li Mu asks to see you."
The guard reported loudly outside the tent.
"Bring him in."
Wang Chuxuan quietly put his hand on the hilt of his sword.
Facing a man who had suppressed the Witch Ancestor and subdued the Four Sages, he also felt pressured.
"Your Honor."
Li Mu cupped his hands and bowed, saying, "Your Honor, are you unable to completely confirm the authenticity of my background, so you are hesitating?"
Wang Chuxuan did not hide his concerns and told him about them. Then, he added, "What's worse is that there is no senior ascendant in the Great Righteous Alliance in the Kunlun Secret Realm, so it will be very difficult to find someone to verify your identity."
Li Mu smiled and said, "In that case, I can not enter the city. But Your Honor, please allow my parents to enter the city. They are not strong enough. If they stay outside the city, it will be very inconvenient. If Your Honor can find a temporary residence for my parents, I will be very grateful."
After the ascendants arrived at the camp city, once they passed the examination, they would be properly settled.
Some ascendants who were injured in the process of ascension or were not strong enough would be treated in time. Those ascendants who had no one to rely on would be placed in different posts and receive cultivation resources and Cultivation Methods.
It could be said that the ascendants were very generous to their compatriots.
That was also one of the important reasons why Li Mu came to the ascendants' camp.
He needed to settle his parents.
Wang Chuxuan thought for a moment and nodded. "If it's just your parents, it's totally okay."
Li Lin and Xue Rui were not strong enough. Their foundation had been seen through and they did not have any trump cards. Even if they were spies, they could not cause much trouble in the city. As long as they paid a little attention, they would be safe.
Moreover, Wang Chuxuan felt that he had to seize the opportunity to do Li Mu a favor.
If everything recorded in the scroll was true, then there would be one more peerless genius like Ding Hao, Sun Fei, and Ye Qingyu in the ascendants' camp.
The existence and growth of such geniuses were definitely a dream for the ascendants' camp, which had the weakest foundation among the three major forces.
Over the years, without the support of the three geniuses, the ascendants' camp would definitely be in a much more difficult situation than it was now.
"Thank you, Your Honor."
Li Mu cupped his hands to express his gratitude and turned to leave.
Wang Chuxuan hurriedly got up and asked, "Little brother, what do you want to do next?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "I don't have any plans for the time being. I just want to find a secluded place outside Ningping City to cultivate for the time being. After the investigation of the camp is over and my identity is confirmed, I will join the camp."
Wang Chuxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
That was for the best.
He was afraid that Li Mu was too arrogant and after suppressing the Wizard Ancestor and the Four Sages, he felt that there was nowhere in the Middle Three Heavens that he could not go. He was too arrogant and overbearing, which led to some danger and caused the ascendants' camp to lose such a peerless genius in vain.
"This is a warning bell. Take it. Once you are in danger or need help, as long as you are within a hundred miles of Ningping City, shake this bell, and someone will come to help you. And once the verification in the city is completed and your identity is confirmed, we can also use this bell to find you."
Wang Chuxuan handed a small silver bell to Li Mu through the air.
"That's great. Thank you, Your Honor."
Li Mu took the bell, turned around to tell his parents, and then left Ningping City for the time being.
Everything was going according to his plan.
From the book of the Wizard Ancestor, he learned the rules of the ascendants' camp.
This time, he came here mainly to settle down his parents.
What he had to do next was the real highlight.
