Zheng Cunjian's heart was trembling.
He was afraid that Li Mu would change his mind.
Li Mu said in a seemingly annoyed tone, "I forgot to detain Liu Chong's white crane. He rides a bird and flies fast. I guess the news will reach the Guanshan Pasture much faster than I expected … Tut, tut, tut, I have to prepare in advance."
Zheng Cunjian finally came to his senses and felt relieved.
Fortunately, it was not Devil Li who changed his mind.
Seeing that Li Mu had no intention to speak, Zheng Cunjian did not say anything more and hurried out of the room.
But after thinking about it, he found it was not right.
If Liu Chong rode the white crane back to the Guanshan Pasture, he would be faster. The sooner the Guanshan Pasture's revenge came, the less time he had left. No matter what, he had to ask Li Mu to solve the Life-and-Death Spell for him before the Guanshan Pasture killed him.
Why did he feel that Li Mu's words were actually directed at him?
No matter what, he had to do his best.
No matter what price he had to pay, he had to collect all the information about the Star Stone and send it to him within three days.
Even if he had to die, Zheng Cunjian did not want to suffer the terrible pain of being tortured by the Life-and-Death Spell again.
…
…
Time flew.
Three days passed.
Liu Chong's strength had been greatly reduced. Naturally, he could not ride the white crane day and night as before.
In the high sky, the Strong Wind was blowing.
Without the protection of the Celestial Being Realm, once he was careless, he would be thrown off the back of the white crane. Without the ability to fly, he would be smashed into a meat patty.
Therefore, he rode the crane at a low altitude, not as fast as he came.
Three days later, Liu Chong returned to Guanshan City, where he anxiously sought an audience with Huang Shengyi, the Deputy Head. However, the answer he got was that the Deputy Head had already left for Chang 'an the day before.
"Deputy Head already knows the news?"
Liu Chong's face darkened.
He dared not stay in Guanshan City any longer, so he immediately rushed to the Chang 'an Mansion.
He had to tell Deputy Head Huang the news as soon as possible.
Because Deputy Head Huang might not know that Li Mu, who was in Taibai County, was almost invincible in the Sage Realm. If Deputy Head Huang rashly charged at him, he might be at a disadvantage.
Although it sounded absurd that a Deputy Head of the Guanshan Pasture in the Half-step Sage Realm should be wary of a junior who was not even a Celestial Being, Liu Chong's personal experience told him that it was a fact.
…
…
The fourth day.
In the magistrate's office of Chang 'an Prefecture.
"It really wasn't you?" Huang Sheng floated in the air, not concealing his aura at all. His voice was a little hoarse, and he was like a god of death as he stared at Li Gang and questioned.
In the government office, all the officials and guards were pale, frightened by the aura of the half-step Celestial Being.
Everything happened too suddenly.
Originally, they had been working in an orderly manner in the yamen. Who would have thought that such an expert, who was like an immortal or demon, would suddenly appear? His terrifying aura was like a vast ocean, drowning them and suffocating them.
Li Gang was sitting behind the table in the lobby.
His expression was very calm, steady, and indifferent, which made him look elegant and handsome. He said, "Head Huang, I have no grudge against Young Master Huang. Why did I kill him?"
Huang Sheng stared at Li Gang's face through the door of the lobby. After a long time, he nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. The Secular Sword Whiz is not a man who dares not to admit what he has done. I'll believe you this time … Goodbye."
Before his voice died away, he turned into a flame and disappeared in the distant sky.
Li Gang looked at the direction in which the Deputy Head of the Guanshan Pasture disappeared. It was the Taibai Mountain area. He seemed to think of something, and a strange smile appeared on his handsome and elegant face.
Huang Sheng was too arrogant. What did he think the magistrate's office was?
Therefore, there were some words that he did not say.
…
Two hours later.
At the gate of the Taibai Sword Faction in the Taibai Mountain area.
The whole faction was on guard against a formidable enemy.
The sword bell hanging on the top of the main peak rang, and the urgent sound made the hearts of every disciple of the Taibai Sword Faction tremble. The Mountain-protecting Tactical Deployment was broken by the unexpected enemy almost at the first moment. The terrible aura, as vast as the ocean, covered the whole gate of the Taibai Sword Faction.
"Zhao Xue, come out and answer me."
Huang Sheng's voice reverberated between heaven and earth, making some disciples of the Taibai Sword Faction with lower strength feel dizzy.
Countless swordsmen and disciples looked up at Huang Sheng, who was standing in the air and suddenly attacking them. Their eyes were filled with anger, fear, and doubt.
Swoosh!
A jet of sword light rose to the sky and split half of the sky.
The flowing Sword Intent, like the snow on the top of the main peak, offset half of the overwhelming flame aura of Huang Sheng, the Deputy Head of the Guanshan Pasture.
She was dressed in white, and her hair was as white as snow.
Zhao Xue, the Taibai Sword God, was standing with a sword on his back. He looked extremely elegant and unrestrained, like an immortal.
Back then, the Taibai Sword God, who was famous in the Western Qin Dynasty, was a famous handsome man. He was as cold as the snow. He once competed with Li Gang, the Secular Sword Whiz, and was called the Double Swords of the Western Qin Dynasty. Unfortunately, he was defeated by Li Gang.
"Huang Shengyi, the Fire Devil? Deputy Head Huang, why did you come to our Taibai Sword Faction to condemn us? "Zhao Xue, whose hair was as white as frost, asked calmly with a handsome face.
"Did you kill my grandson, Huang Wenyuan?" Huang Sheng stared at Zhao Xue and asked word by word.
"Your grandson was killed?" Zhao Xue was stunned and said, "I didn't know about it, and I didn't do it. There is no hatred between the Guanshan Pasture and Deputy Head Huang, and the Taibai Sword Faction has rarely been involved in Jianghu disputes these years."
"Not you?" Huang Sheng frowned.
In the entire Chang 'an Mansion, only Li Gang and Zhao Xue had the ability to kill his grandson under the protection of Liu Chong, a Fourth-step Celestial Being.
"The Taibai Sword God was also a man of his word. Since you said it was not you, I believe you." Huang Sheng gradually restrained his hostile aura.
His evaluation of Zhao Xue was obviously higher than that of Li Gang.
At that time, Zhao Xue was well-known as a gentleman, gentle as jade, and kept his promise. He was recognized as a true gentleman in the court and Jianghu.
"But my grandson did die in the Chang 'an Mansion. Is there a third peak Celestial Being or a Sage in the Chang' an Mansion?" Huang Sheng looked at Zhao Xue and said, "Head Zhao, I haven't been in Jianghu for a long time, so I don't know much about the martial arts in Chang 'an Mansion. Head Zhao, do you know if there are other masters rising in Chang' an Mansion in the past 20 years?"
Zhao Xue said, "The most popular master in Chang 'an Mansion now is Li Mu, the poetry and martial arts genius. However, he is only in the Natural Realm, not a Celestial Being."
Huang Sheng shook his head and said, "I've heard of Li Mu. He once killed the second prince with a rare treasure, so he shouldn't have such strength …" Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped, because he suddenly felt that he seemed to have overlooked something when he fell into the four misunderstandings.
The second prince's strength was extraordinary. He was in the Celestial Being Realm. Huang Sheng, as the deputy head of the Guanshan Pasture, naturally received some inside information about the battle that day. Unexpectedly, he also died in the hands of Li Mu.
Moreover, his grandson was going to take over as the county magistrate of Taibai County, and the deep reason was that he was going to pick the peaches. It was hard to guarantee that Li Mu wouldn't launch an attack … How, how could he ignore this before?
"Goodbye."
Huang Sheng's faith was instantly clear. His figure turned into a flame and directly disappeared.
Zhao Xue looked in the direction of Taibai County with a slightly solemn look.
But the other people of the Taibai Sword Faction were relieved to see that the half-step Celestial Being finally left.
Their idol was neither servile nor overbearing just now, which made many young disciples worship him more and more. Even the deputy head of the Guanshan Pasture was very polite to their head. With just a word, he solved the upcoming battle. How charming he was!
A feeling of pride, yearning, and worship spread in the hearts of many disciples of the Taibai Sword Faction.
Zhao Yu, riding the Taibai Sword, came to the side of Zhao Xue.
"Head, about Li Mu …" In Zhao Yu's heart, he actually had a little objection to the head's direct shift of the topic to Li Mu. After all, it seemed that he had directly sold Li Mu out.
Zhao Xue sighed and said, "Do you think I sold Li Mu? No, I'm helping him. "
"Helping him?" Zhao Yu was stunned and didn't understand.
Zhao Xue patiently explained, "Since Li Mu chose to directly kill Huang Wenyuan, he can't escape today's disaster. It's just a matter of time … I saw that Huang Sheng came in a rage and didn't seem to investigate what happened in Taibai County. He didn't know that Li Mu secretly has a power comparable to a Sage, so he was careless. So, it's better for him to find Li Mu earlier than later. Once he calms down and investigates Li Mu's trump card, he will choose to attack. At that time, the situation Li Mu will face will be more difficult."
It was a good thing that young people were hot-blooded and angry.
However, it was unwise to provoke such a strong enemy.
If Li Mu could be patient and stay in seclusion for decades, he might be able to compete with the power represented by Huang Sheng. Unfortunately … he was too impatient.
"Xiaoyu, let's go to Taibai County with me." Zhao Xue said.
Zhao Yu was overjoyed and said, "Head, are you willing to help Li Mu?"
"Let's wait and see. I hope I can save his life."
…
…
The timeline went back two days.
In the study.
The warm winter sun shone through the shadows of the swaying trees, filling the entire room with a pleasant smell.
"People are forced to be like this. Hahaha, this sentence is not wrong at all."
Li Mu sat cross-legged and did not have the consciousness of a county magistrate. He felt comfortable and sighed happily.
It took him two hours to finish reading the information about the Star Stone sent by Zheng Cunjian and let out such a sigh.
To be honest, Li Mu felt that it was an eye-opener. It turned out that the Star Stone contained so much knowledge and mystery. If it were on Earth, there could be a special subject in three universities.
Devil Li felt that a door to a new world was slowly opened in front of him.
The Star Stone seemed to be specially made for Li Mu. It was very promising.
