When Guo Yuqing, Qiu Yin, and the others arrived, Li Mu had calmed down.
The protective deployment of the Knife Hut had been automatically repaired and was running again.
To be honest, if Li Mu had been there at that time, perhaps Jiang Qiubai would not have been able to crack the Earth Evil Polaris Formation so easily. Li Mu had observed that the method adopted by that grassland martial arts legend was very simple — he broke through the formation by force.
Shangguan Yuting and Qing Feng could both operate the Earth Evil Polaris Formation, but they were certainly not as good as Li Mu. If the Earth Evil Polaris Formation under Li Mu's control was a nuclear bomb, then the Earth Evil Polaris Formation under their control was not even a grenade.
"Third brother, are you alright?" Qiu Yin was concerned about Li Mu. His eyes soon fell on the line of words pieced together by leaves on the ground, and he suddenly didn't know how to comfort him.
Guo Yuqing and Liu Zhiyuan also saw it.
"I was too careless."
Guo Yuqing felt guilty.
He knew very well what kind of person his junior fellow apprentice was. He never gave up until he achieved his goal. Even as a Sage, he would do anything to get what he wanted. Therefore, he should have known that his junior fellow apprentice would not leave so easily.
However, he still neglected one thing.
If he had noticed it earlier, Jiang Qiubai wouldn't have found a chance.
"Brother Qing …" Liu Zhiyuan looked at her husband.
She had heard the story of Li Mu and Hua Xiangrong. According to all kinds of rumors, Li Mu refused the second prince's invitation for Hua Xiangrong and even killed the powerful prince for her. That showed the deep love between the two. As a woman, Liu Zhiyuan admired that love story very much.
But now, Hua Xiangrong was taken away.
It was not hard to imagine how terrible Li Mu's mood was at the moment.
"Big brother, second brother," Li Mu raised his hand to erase the words on the ground, and said calmly, "It seems that I have to go to the pasture."
This matter had completely disrupted his plans.
Originally, he wanted to stay in Taibai Mountain to comprehend and practice martial arts. When he mastered the marvelous martial arts, he could go out and defeat all the heroes in the world. By then, even a Sage would not be a threat to him. After all, the Dragon-assembling Pattern in Taibai Mountain had been completed, and the entire Taibai Mountain had become a land of fortune.
But now …
Nothing had happened between him and Shangguan Yuting, but that was no reason for him to continue hiding in the protected area.
The woman beside you has been taken away, yet you're still hiding. What kind of man are you?
"Without the key to the Immortal King's Tomb, you won't be able to exchange for him." Guo Yuqing said with a complicated look, "Third Brother, we can't rush this matter. We need to think it over. It's hard for you to rescue my sister-in-law from the Wolf Temple by yourself. “
Li Mu nodded and said, "I know. I need to plan."
He did not ask Guo Yuqing for the so-called key to the Tomb of the Immortal King.
Although he didn't know the inside story behind it, Guo Yuqing didn't hand over the key even when his wife and children were threatened, so he knew it was not simple.
Qiu Yin directly patted his chest and said, "Third Brother, Second Brother will accompany you. With our two sabers combined, even if it is a mountain of sabers or a sea of fire, what is there to fear?"
Li Mu laughed and said, "Okay."
Guo Yuqing gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go with you. You and I are brothers. How can we be separated?" He knew very well how horrible that junior fellow apprentice was. When he was learning martial arts in the Everlasting Heaven, only he had seen and understood how horrible Jiang Qiubai was.
Liu Zhiyuan glanced at her husband and said nothing.
Back then, her husband had sworn never to set foot on the vast pasture again. But today, for the sake of his brother, he had to break the oath.
"I hope God bless me. I have no choice but to let those oaths not come true."
As for stopping her husband from going to the pasture?
Liu Zhiyuan didn't even think about it.
Because as a man, there were some things he had to do.
And as a woman, there were some things she couldn't do.
Her man was a hero. She wouldn't let him down just because of love.
Li Mu nodded and said, "Thank you, Big Brother, Second Brother. Let's discuss it in detail and then make a decision." He didn't know that Guo Yuqing had sworn never to set foot on the pasture again.
No matter what, he couldn't be too hasty.
He also needed to make some preparations.
The three of them entered the Knife Hut and discussed it carefully.
Since Qing Feng, the little attendant, dealt with the matter in time, it was not spread out. Therefore, no one outside knew it.
Only Xu Wan 'er, Xin' er, Lu Shengnan, and the other beautiful girls were anxious.
Xin 'er said with tears in her eyes, "Young Master, you must save Miss …" She was very worried about Shangguan Yuting's safety.
Li Mu said, "Don't worry. The man who took Ting 'er away is a Sage. He certainly has the magnanimity of a Sage and won't make things difficult for Ting' er." "Although Jiang Qiubai sneaked up on the Knife Hut, given his status, he won't do anything outrageous to Shangguan Yuting.
Guo Yuqing also said, "Yes. You can rest assured on this point. Miss Hua will not be wronged in the Wolf Temple."
He knew his junior fellow apprentice was not a man without a bottom line.
Li Mu's expression was strange.
"Miss Hua?"
"Big Brother probably doesn't know the meaning of those three words on Earth."
In the end, after a discussion, the three of them decided to set off for the pasture in 10 days.
Guo Yuqing and his wife stayed in the Knife Hut.
After what they had gone through, they could no longer stay in the Eagle Beak Village, because the villagers knew they were not ordinary people. When they met again, it would be difficult for them to return to their previous state. Instead, it would make the entire Eagle Beak Village restless.
Moreover, Guo Yuqing was going to the pasture again. It was not safe for Liu Zhiyuan and her son and daughter to stay in the Eagle Beak Village. The tactical deployment in the Knife Hut was marvelous. Liu Zhiyuan was the Virgin Goddess of the Wendao Academy. Although her cultivation was not as good as Guo Yuqing's, she could operate the Earth Evil Polaris Formation. Although she was not as skilled as Li Mu, she could still exert most of its power. Even a Sage could not do anything to it.
Qiu Yin directly returned to the Guanshan Pasture.
He needed to go back and make some preparations.
They made an appointment to meet in Longcheng Pass, an important border town of the Western Qin Empire, ten days later.
In the next few days, Li Mu made preparations with peace of mind.
The first thing he did was to rearrange the Earth Evil Polaris Formation, the guardian of the Knife Hut, to enhance its power. As the Dragon-assembling Pattern continued to run, the Spiritual Qi in the Knife Hut surged like a tide. Even the cultivation holy lands of many sects could not compare. The Earth Evil Polaris Formation absorbed enough power of heaven and earth and continued to grow stronger. Every once in a while, Li Mu would guide and repair it.
The current Heavenly Dipper Earth Fiend Formation was many times stronger than before.
However, this time, Jiang Qiubai broke the formation of the Knife Hut, which made Li Mu vigilant.
The experts at the peak of the Legend Realm in this world could directly break the formation by force even if it was a different kind of tactical deployment … Therefore, he could not be careless.
After that, he taught Liu Zhiyuan how to operate the Earth Evil Polaris Formation.
Liu Zhiyuan was the Virgin Goddess of the Wendao Academy, one of the top nine Holy Clans. She was also a famous young master in Jianghu. Her cultivation was at the Fourth Step of the Celestial Being Realm. She was smart and had a better understanding of martial arts and theories than Li Mu. Soon, she mastered the secret of operating the tactical deployment.
"Third Uncle, are you really the one who set up this tactical deployment?" Liu Zhiyuan was astounded. After truly experiencing the power of the tactical deployment, she found it hard to believe. With this tactical deployment, she could almost fight against a Sage without being defeated. How could there be such a star deployment in the world?
If the warlock star deployment could be so powerful, how could the warlock and magic cultivators be so suppressed by the martial arts cultivators and only be able to do some auxiliary work such as setting up small tactical deployments, carving inscriptions, and refining weapons?
Li Mu said, "I happened to get a secret book on tactical deployments from outer space. I set it up according to the map. That's why it's so powerful."
That was a white lie.
Now was not the time to show his real background, especially after the messenger of Lord Qu in Southern Chu intentionally or unintentionally revealed that he would be in a lot of trouble if he exposed his identity as an Earth man. Therefore, Li Mu became more cautious in that regard.
In the next few days, Li Mu made arrangements for all the affairs in Taibai City. He announced to the public that he was going to do closed-door training for a while.
Since Li Mu was conferred the title of Lord, the name of Taibai County was removed and the county was upgraded to Taibai City.
Five days later, Li Mu received a letter from Qiu Yin in Guanshan City.
After reading it, Li Mu released Huang Shengyi, the Fire Devil.
"You're welcome to visit us again." Li Mu reluctantly said goodbye.
Huang Shengyi's face darkened. He walked away without looking back.
Everything that happened in Taibai City was a nightmare. Fortunately, he could finally leave. Huang Shengyi did not even have the thought of revenge. Half of it was because he was beaten by Li Mu, and the other half was because of the things Li Mu had shown him, which frightened him and made him feel insignificant and hopeless for revenge.
"Come again." Li Mu waved at him reluctantly.
He personally walked Huang Shengyi out of Taibai County.
This scene almost caused the eyeballs of countless people to fall out of their sockets.
"What's going on?"
The relationship between these two people who were absolutely irreconcilable had actually become so good?
"Didn't Huang Shengyi, the Fire Devil, want to skin Li Mu alive and drink his blood that day?"
"Or did Qiu Yin, the future leader of the Guanshan Master, come to Taibai City to resolve the conflict? Now, Taibai City and Guanshan City are going to stand side by side?"
"Alas, I really don't want to let you go." Li Mu sighed.
He meant what he said.
Because Huang Shengyi was a qualified coolie. He was strong, knowledgeable, and easy to use. Moreover, he did not ask for anything in return. Huang Shengyi was a Semi-Sage. Where else could he find such a slave? If it were not for the master of his sworn brother, Li Mu really did not want to let Huang Shengyi go.
Another two days passed.
Zhao Yu of the Taibai Sword Faction personally escorted his sister Zhao Ling back to Taibai City.
On the third day, Li Mu saw off his two old friends, Dong Rui and Xu Sheng. Since the mission of the crown prince's envoy group was completed, Li Mu had to do closed-door training again. So, the two old guys also decided to leave for a while. But they agreed to return to the capital to perform their duties and then come to Taibai City to recuperate.
Taibai City was about to become a place of good fortune. As wise people, how could they not see the benefits of practicing in that place?
On the ninth day, the day before Li Mu and Guo Yuqing set off, a piece of shocking news spread like a hurricane in the Western Qin Empire.
