"I've done what I should. I've done my best, and the rest is up to God."
Li Mu also sighed.
At the thought of the beautiful and mature Mrs. Tang and her two fairy-like daughters, Li Mu could not help but feel a little worried and regretful about their fate.
"Keep an eye on them. If you have any news about Mrs. Tang, let me know at any time."
Li Mu said.
"Yes, sir." Zheng Cunjian bowed.
Then, he asked, "Young Master, when are you going to leave Chang 'an?"
Li Mu said, "I haven't visited the libraries of the Hanshan Academy and the Fengming Academy yet. I guess I have to stay in Chang 'an for a few more days."
Zheng Cunjian's expression changed slightly. "I think it's better for Young Master to leave Chang 'an as soon as possible."
Li Mu looked at him and said, "Oh? Why was that? Did something happen in Taibai County? "
Zheng Cunjian hurriedly added, "Everything is fine in Taibai County. Madam Dowager has been taken care of by Zhao Ling, the female pharmacist in the county. It is said that she has regained some of her eyesight. Feng Yuanxing, Ma Junwu, Zhen Meng, and the young master are in good order. But …"
After saying that, he hesitated for a moment.
Li Mu said, "But what? Just say it. "
Zheng Cunjian said, "But recently, the situation in Chang 'an has changed a lot. All forces are gathering. It is said that the Qing Sha Clan is also on their way. Although Wei Chong is just an elder of a branch, he represents the Qing Sha Clan. Young Master has killed him, so the Qing Sha Clan will not let it go. Also, the Bloody-moon Faction, Lord Zhenxi's Mansion, the Supervisory Department, and even the Heaven Sword Sect have come to Chang' an because of the death of the Heaven-Sword Celestial Being … Young Master, you still have to be careful."
Li Mu looked at Zheng Cunjian and said, "Are you afraid that no one can remove the Life-and-Death Spell in your body if I am killed?"
Zheng Cunjian hurriedly said, "I dare not. I just think that Young Master is a peerless genius. You shouldn't use force at this time. You should act tactfully. With Young Master's talent, as long as you have time, you will definitely soar to the sky in the future. Why do you have to care about this moment?"
Li Mu smiled.
He could sense the kindness in Zheng Cunjian's words.
Although this person was ruthless, despicable, and cowardly, and definitely not a good person, it was very easy to use him.
"It's not that I'm being calculative. It's just that I don't have much time." Li Mu said, "Go ahead. If there's any news, just inform me in time."
Zheng Cunjian wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. In the end, he turned around and left.
Li Mu also got up and left the study.
The defensive tactical deployment in the courtyard of the Shack was a bit outdated. Now that Li Mu's strength had soared, he naturally had to rearrange it. He wanted to turn the courtyard into an impregnable fortress. At least, it could protect Shangguan Yuting and the 17 beautiful girls, so that Li Mu would not have to worry about them.
Moreover, after refining the Five Elements Sky-flipping Seal, Li Mu had more confidence in setting up tactical deployments.
The function of a Taoist instrument was not only in battle but also in cultivation. The Five Elements Seal could gather the Spiritual Qi of the five elements. The Taoist patterns and tactical deployments in it could also be used as a copy of the Taoist magic arts of the five elements. At the same time, it could also be used to set up tactical deployments to enhance the power of them.
Li Mu began to dig and bury things inside and outside the courtyard, constantly making some repairs.
After the beautiful girls tidied up their beds, they cast curious looks at Li Mu.
The legendary genius in poetry and martial arts did not seem to be as cold and unapproachable as people described him to be. Instead, he was like a little brother next door, very kind and humorous. From Shangguan Yuting, they learned that Li Mu was only 15 years old.
It took Li Mu several days to finish repairing the tactical deployment.
With the help of the Five Elements Sky-flipping Seal, Li Mu rearranged a five-elements tactical deployment inside and outside the courtyard of the Shack by referring to the Taoist patterns and tactical deployments in it. He buried a newly carved jade piece in each of the five directions, which represented metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The metal was in the center, and the wood, water, fire, and earth were in the four directions.
In the past three to five days, Li Mu did not go out at all. He spent all his time in the Shack like a handyman, repairing everything, as if he had completely forgotten about everything else.
Zheng Cunjian, on the other hand, came to the Shack more frequently. All kinds of news came to him.
During that time, there were also some ignorant guys who were sent by some forces to spy on him. But they were all taken care of by Li Mu. Shangguan Yuting and the others did not notice it at all.
It was not until the sixth day that Li Mu finally finished repairing the tactical deployment.
The moment the tactical deployment was activated, the ground trembled, the well water gushed out like a fountain, the wind blew, and the plants in the courtyard danced. Colorless divine light surged from the four directions and the center and shot up to the sky. Soon, the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth gathered in the courtyard. At first, the scene was really amazing. A visible tornado of divine light soared thousands of meters into the sky from the courtyard, like a divine pillar supporting the sky.
Shangguan Yuting and Xin 'er, on the other hand, had gotten used to Li Mu's big moves from time to time. As for the other pretty girls, they were all shocked again. Those girls were very smart, so they naturally could tell that such miraculous moves were made by Li Mu as a handyman these days.
Xu Wan 'er and Lu Shengnan were both secretly thinking about how to please Li Mu and learn his skills.
Especially the latter, she was eager for Li Mu to help her recover her strength. She was going to avenge the annihilation of her family.
Most of the other girls were thinking the same thing.
And such a strange phenomenon naturally shocked all parties in Chang 'an City.
Some people guessed that some precious treasure had been born.
That night, the number of forces that came to spy on the Shack in the dark red area reached its peak.
However, under the operation of the tactical deployment, the yard of the Shack seemed to be cut off from the outside world. Even if Li Mu didn't make a move, no one could sneak in. And if they were outside, they couldn't see or sense anything, which disappointed all the people.
Of course, after ascertaining that all this was caused by Li Mu, all parties became more and more wary of Li Mu.
These days, the atmosphere in Chang 'an City gradually became tense.
The patrolling sergeants on the street had changed from the guards of the four government organs to the sergeants of the main battle army in the camp outside the city.
The soldiers of the main battle army were not only strong in individual combat ability, but also well-equipped. They could be called fighting machines.
Those selected to patrol the street were all the elites of the main battle army. They were wearing dark red magic equipment, armors, and weapons, which had all been blessed by warlocks and engraved with warlock star deployment. After being activated, they had strong defensive and offensive power.
Moreover, in addition, every patrolling sergeant was equipped with a Star Shuttle Crossbow, which could shoot ten Star-breaking Arrows in an instant, which were enough to penetrate the internal qi field of an expert in the Master Realm. That was a sharp weapon to deal with martial arts masters. If they were surrounded by the patrolling troops, some preliminary Great Masters might be captured.
Under such patrols, all the major sects, gangs, and martial arts clubs in Chang 'an City became much more obedient.
Some martial arts masters and rogue cultivators wandering in the city also began to behave themselves with their tails between their legs.
The government had issued a reward notice to arrest the remaining members of the founding general Tang Chong who had escaped from the Musical House.
The portraits of Mrs. Tang, Tang Tang, Tang Mi, Wang Chen, the thin young man in white, the grassland people, and the man with the silver smiley-ghost mask were all vividly painted. After being copied by magic, tens of thousands of them were posted in the streets and alleys, offering a high reward. Even if one provided a small clue, he could get a reward of 100 gold ingots.
After seeing the reward notice, Li Mu couldn't help laughing.
The second prince's side obviously knew that he was the man with the silver smiley-ghost mask, but after posting the notice, they didn't directly come to arrest him. Clearly, they were trying to deceive themselves. Or were they still waiting for the right time?
Li Mu posted the reward notice at the gate of the Shack's courtyard.
The search in the city became tighter and tighter day by day.
The patrols of the main army, together with the soldiers and guards of the four garrison governments, as well as the forces of the major sects, gangs, chambers of commerce, and consortiums recruited by the government, joined forces. Like a suffocating invisible net, they covered the entire Chang 'an City and frantically searched for the remaining members of the Tang family.
Fights broke out in various places of Chang 'an City from time to time.
Some of the wanted criminals of the Empire and the Supervisory Department had been hunting for the Wulin villains. They had hidden well in Chang 'an City for several years without facing any danger. But this time, they were all caught like big fish at the bottom of a dried-up pond under the intense search and arrest by the authorities, like the big fish at the bottom of a dried-up pond.
For these people, their luck was terrible to the extreme.
What was even worse was that some demons lurking in Chang 'an City were also affected and hunted down.
Most of the demons who could lurk in the human society were big demons who had reached the Energy Shaping Realm. They could change into the shape of human beings and look no different from ordinary people. Ordinary people couldn't recognize them at all. Some of the intelligent demon races were born with the talent of transformation. Although their cultivation had not reached the Energy Shaping Realm, they could still disguise themselves.
Some of these demons had gotten used to living in the human society. They even married and had children. But once they were discovered by the patrols, they were immediately mercilessly hunted down and killed.
Anyone who had something to do with the demon race was killed.
It was said that the president of a large chamber of commerce unknowingly married a white fox woman as a concubine and gave birth to a daughter. As a result, when the patrols found out, no matter how he tried to explain or beg for forgiveness, it was useless. In one day, hundreds of his family members were all killed, and no one was left alive.
In the human society, colluding with the demon race was a felony.
In less than ten days, it could be said that a storm of blood had been set off in Chang 'an City.
