"How dare you break my magic?" Flame Elder came to his senses and shouted fiercely, "Evildoer, today, I'll make you show your true colors."
He stuck his wand aside and rolled up his sleeves. Now, he no longer had the demeanor of an old immortal. Flustered and exasperated, he directly took out a huge gold-and-silver double-wire mirror, which was divided into five parts. In one of the parts, the flame mark shone brightly. Holding it in his palm, Flame Elder activated his spiritual force to directly focus on the gold-and-silver double-wire mirror. Immediately, the flame mark burst out with dazzling brilliance.
The surrounding temperature suddenly soared.
The four experts of the Musical House felt as if they were in a furnace, and their hair curled.
Liu Chenglong also felt as if his face was on fire. The scorching heat was unbearable, so he hurriedly ran his cultivation method to resist it and retreated more than ten meters away from Flame Elder. Within five meters of Flame Elder, the dead trees were smoking. It was really like a world of fire.
"This should be Flame Elder's real strength. What a horrible heat magic …" Liu Chenglong thought.
Flame Elder was a rogue cultivator in the Natural Realm in Chang 'an, who enjoyed a high status.
Generally speaking, it was already very rare for a rogue cultivator to reach the Natural Realm. He either had great talent or had great luck. However, it was also very difficult for him to make another breakthrough, for he must have the help of a sect or external forces. Therefore, after Liu Chenglong briefly showed his relationship with the second prince, Flame Elder indeed accepted the proposal and was willing to work for the second prince.
Today, Flame Elder volunteered to capture Hua Xiangrong and wanted to make a contribution.
The previous three magic skills all had a strong start but weak finish. Although they seemed to be powerful, they did not even get to see Hua Xiangrong. So, his performance was more or less not good. Nevertheless, when the gold-and-silver double-wire mirror showed up, it was extraordinarily powerful, which made him worthy of his reputation as a Natural Rogue cultivator.
"Evildoer, I don't care where you come from. Since you dare to steal someone's body and lurk in Chang 'an, you deserve to die. Since that Li Mu colluded with a demon like you, he must be up to no good. Everyone has the right to punish him. "Flame Elder bellowed.
After activating the Gold and Silver Thread Mirror, Chu Li's confidence skyrocketed. He felt like he was the hero of the world and no one could be his match. His mental energy flowed like a deity as he activated the Gold and Silver Thread Mirror. The Flame Division spewed out a purple flame and was about to spray it toward Room No.18.
Suddenly, a voice sounded.
"Eh, it's actually a low-grade Dao Artifact?"
The moment the voice echoed, Flame Elder felt the weight in his hand suddenly lightened, and the mirror engraved with gold and silver disappeared.
When he looked again, he found that a slender figure wearing a silver smiley-ghost mask had appeared at the door of Room No.18. In his hand was his gold-and-silver double-wire mirror, which was engraved with gold and silver, and he was looking at it in amazement.
"Who … who are you? Give me back my mirror! "Flame Elder was shocked and shouted in a hurry.
Liu Chenglong's face changed. "Li Mu … How dare you come back?"
He knew the man wearing the silver smiley-ghost mask was none other than Li Mu.
"Why wouldn't I dare to come back?" Li Mu answered perfunctorily.
Without looking up, Li Mu was still staring at the gold-and-silver double-wire mirror in his hand. He found it quite strange. Then, he muttered to himself, "Strange. How could there be a Dao Artifact in this world?" That was clearly a Dao Artifact as described by the old faker. It was definitely not a real treasure that could be refined by the magic arts and alchemy that were popular in this world.
"Could it be that there are also Taoist magic arts in this world?"
Li Mu found it strange.
Taoist magic arts and magic arts were two different concepts. The former was the means of immortals, while the latter was just a kind of art. It was a superficial understanding of the Way that existed between heaven and earth, and could only be called magic arts.
But Taoist magic arts could only be refined with Taoist magic arts.
For instance, the storage space containers and "grenades" that Li Mu refined before were just low-level means to express the Way. They could be regarded as substandard Taoist instruments and were not complete. But now, the gold-and-silver double-wire mirror he snatched from Flame Elder turned out to be a complete Taoist instrument in Li Mu's eyes.
Although it was just a low-grade Taoist instrument, its power was already astounding enough.
According to the old faker's description, only when one reached the advanced level of the third level of the Xiantian Skill could he refine a complete low-grade Taoist instrument. But according to Li Mu's current exploration, once he reached the advanced level of the third level of the Xiantian Skill, he would almost be able to break through the void, wouldn't he?
"Where did you get this mirror?" Li Mu looked up and asked.
Flame Elder said anxiously and angrily, "This is my family's most precious treasure. Who are you? Give it back to me!"
As a matter of fact, he inadvertently snatched the mirror from a Taoist in a deserted ancient temple. 120 years ago, that poor Taoist saved him when he fainted on the side of the road. But to his surprise, Flame Elder bit the hand that fed him. He plotted against that Taoist and robbed the temple of some gold, silver, and food, among which was this mirror.
At that time, he was just a frustrated Elementary Scholar. After obtaining the mirror, he discovered that there were some spells within it. He was overjoyed. Hence, he pondered over it and slowly cultivated it step by step. Step by step, he spent a full two cycles of sixty years to reach his current level of cultivation.
"Family heirloom?" At first glance, Li Mu knew that the old man was lying.
Flame Elder did not even exert one percent of the real power of the mirror.
Just now, the old man shouted that he would suppress Shangguan Yuting, framed Li Mu for colluding with the demon race, and came here with Liu Chenglong. So, he was most likely the second prince's lackey. For such a treasure to fall into his hands was like casting pearls before swine. Now that he had taken it, there was no reason for him to give it back.
"Amitabha. Benefactor, this thing is destined to be mine. Why don't you lend it to me to study for a few hundred years … What do you say?" Li Mu suggested shamelessly.
The moment Flame Elder heard that, he panicked. His true nature was immediately revealed. His voice and countenance grew fierce as he directly threatened, "Li Mu, give my mirror back to me now. Otherwise, I'll tear you into pieces and kill all the people around you, your whole family … Do you know how powerful I am? I'm …"
Li Mu ignored him. Then, he turned to Liu Chenglong and said, "Liu, you've made things difficult and threatened Yuting several times. If I don't go to you, you should burn incense and pray to the Buddha. How dare you bring people here … Well, it seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, you won't behave."
"What do you want to do …" Liu Chenglong had already sensed the danger. He immediately ran his cultivation method and retreated like a tornado.
However, his strength was just at the peak of the Master Realm. Compared with Li Mu, he was far weaker.
Li Mu clenched his fist in the void. The Natural Realm qi materialized and condensed into a rippling broadsword. With a casual slash, the transparent broadsword qi pierced through the void as fast as lightning. Like a hot knife cutting butter, it split the void, split the airflow, and disappeared in a flash.
Liu Chenglong did not even have time to dodge. His left arm was cut off at the shoulder.
"Ah, you …" His face twitched in pain. He caught the broken arm with his right hand and pressed it back to his left shoulder. Then, he spun around and directly fled. He bellowed, "When His Highness hunts down the remaining members of the Tang family, it will be time for you to die. Li Mu, you can't leave Chang 'an alive. “
In a flash, Liu Chenglong fled.
He was a smart man. He knew Li Mu was unscrupulous. If he stayed any longer, he would really be in danger. So, regardless of anything else, he fled first.
Li Mu's heart skipped a beat when he heard that.
"The second prince went to hunt down Mrs. Tang and the others?"
"They are just orphans and widows. Why does a prince chase after them so hard?"
"That's not normal."
"I wonder what Wang Chen and the others have planned and whether they can successfully escape."
Li Mu thought to himself. Then, he turned to Flame Elder and said, "Oh, what did you say just now? You want to kill my whole family? "
Flame Elder's face changed dramatically.
He saw that even Liu Chenglong, the second prince's henchman, had one of his arms chopped off. Then, he thought of the crazy things Li Mu had done in the Great Wall these days. Even the son of Lord Zhenxi was killed … After the impulse, he quickly calmed down.
"Uh, Li Taibai, you must have misheard me. I definitely didn't say that … Since you like this mirror so much, I don't mind lending it to you. When you are done with it, you can return it to me." His heart was bleeding, but he didn't dare to say more. The mirror was originally stolen by force. Over the years, he had dug out all the secrets in it. Except for using it as a weapon, it had no special value. Although it was painful to part with it, it was not that he couldn't bear to part with it.
After that, he turned around and left.
"Thank you." Li Mu waved in the moonlight. "Next time you have something good, you can come and give it to me."
In the distance, Flame Elder, who was running away by magic arts, staggered and almost fell from a height of 10 meters.
"What a good man!" Li Mu sighed.
Shangguan Yuting and Xin 'er pushed open the door and walked out.
Xin 'er was still in shock. She said, "Young Master, you are finally back. Those people were so fierce. “
Li Mu smiled and said, "Don't worry. They are just some express delivery men."
"Express delivery men?" Shangguan Yuting was puzzled. "What are they?"
"They are … well, they are kind enough to come up and deliver something. Usually, they don't care about the postage." Li Mu flashed the gold-and-silver double-filament mirror in his hand and said, "Look, this is a very interesting mirror. It will surprise a lot of people later." Just now, Li Mu had figured out some of the wonders of the mirror. It should be a Taoist Seal of the Five Elements Mirror, which could operate the power of the five elements to attack the enemy. It had a freakishly strong effect of Taoist magic arts.
Li Mu ran his spiritual force into the Taoist patterns on the mirror. After carefully feeling it, a pleasantly surprised smile appeared on his face.
It was more perfect than he had imagined.
This was not a mirror at all, but a Five Elements Sky-flipping Seal.
The seal contained the runes of the Five Elemental Elements, which could convert the power of the Heavens and Earth into the power of the Five Elemental Elements. When facing an enemy, the ingenuity of its usage depended on one's will. It was an exquisite low-grade Dao Artifact that could both attack and defend.
Li Mu directly erased the spiritual brand Flame Elder left in the seal. Then, he injected his spiritual force into the seal and began to try to control it.
"Crack, crack!"
Like a machine, the Daoist seal changed its shape.
