"Big Brother!" Li Mu rushed up and gave him a hearty hug.
Although other people might have to look up to a super expert half a step away from the Void-breaking Realm, in Li Mu's eyes, he was his big brother. Li Mu would not feel that his big brother's greatness made them estranged.
In his heart, his brothers, rich or poor, were always his brothers.
Qiu Yin hesitated for a moment and then followed suit.
At that moment, the solemn look on Guo Yuqing's face was swept away.
Looking at the two brothers, he relaxed and said with a smile, "In the morning, the third brother's letter and the second brother's message in blood almost reached the Wolf Temple at the same time. I came here at once. It seems that I'm not too late."
Qiu Yin laughed and said, "No, Big Brother, in fact, you're a little late."
"Oh?" Guo Yuqing looked at Qiu Yin. He could tell that what his second brother was going to say was not something bad.
Qiu Yin laughed and said, "Haha, Big Brother, you didn't see how brave my third brother was. He killed Yingshan Snow-eagle, the Emperor's Broadsword, and the crown prince in front of the main peak of Mount Yue." Then, he told Li Mu everything that had happened.
Guo Yuqing was taken aback and said, "Yingshan Snow-eagle, the Emperor's Broadsword? He is a genius. Back then, he was regarded as one of the most promising candidates to enter the Void-breaking Realm. But unfortunately, he took the wrong path. He killed too many people and was haunted by killing. Later, he went into seclusion to dispel his killing and seek a way to free himself. Some people said he was dead. How come he came back? And he was killed by my third brother? Haha, it seems that my third brother's cultivation has made another breakthrough. "
Li Mu nodded and accepted Guo Yuqing's compliment without hesitation. Then, he said, "Big Brother, you must have never expected that this man not only came back, but also cut off his lower body, became a eunuch, and practiced evil Cultivation Method. His soul was infiltrated by the extraterrestrial evil power. I think he must have been used by someone to feed the evil power with his soul, just like an egg."
"His body is incomplete, and he lacks the Yang root. How can he enter the Void-breaking Realm? Yingshan Snow-eagle is not a mediocre person. He must know the trick. " Guo Yuqing thought for a while and suddenly understood something. "I may know it. He purified his body to dispel his killing karma and keep the Yin, which can block the Great Way. But I'm afraid it is a very evil reincarnation method to cultivate the evil power with his soul. He wants to take off his skin and be reincarnated into another person who doesn't belong to this world. In this way, he can go to outer space even without the Void-breaking Realm … He has mastered such a profound evil method. The collusion between the Western Qin's royal family and the extraterrestrial evil is much more complicated than I imagined.
Li Mu chimed in, "Big Brother, you mean the power that Emperor Qin Ming demonstrated just now is also …"
Guo Yuqing nodded and said, "Yes, it's also the demonic force. Emperor Qin Ming inherited the throne after Emperor Guangwu and carried on the great trend of Emperor Guangwu's reign. He conquered the Sand Tribe and suppressed the prairie, and resisted the Northern Song and the Southern Chu. Before he went into closed-door training, the Western Qin Empire was flourishing day by day, and its national power was at its peak. But after he went into closed-door training, the Western Qin Empire has declined. That shows how ambitious he is. However, although he can be regarded as an ambitious man of his generation and is talented in martial arts, he is not unparalleled. Back then, his cultivation was not even as good as Yingshan Snow-eagle's. After 40 years of closed-door training, he is half a step away from the Void-breaking Realm. That is not something a human can achieve. Even the royal family of the Western Qin Empire does not have such a powerful background.
Li Mu said, "If that's the case, it makes perfect sense why the crown prince's body was also nurtured by the evil force and penetrated deep into his soul. It seems that it was the emperor of the Western Qin who did it. Only he could plant the evil force in the crown prince's soul without him noticing."
Qiu Yin also said, "It seems that the rumor may be true. The royal family of the Western Qin may be a branch of the extraterrestrial evil."
At that time, Xu Sheng, Xu Yue, and other experts of the Yue Mountain Faction also came over to greet Guo Yuqing.
By then, they had learned Guo Yuqing's identity. He was the master of the Wolf Temple and one of the Nine Superbs in the World. However, they did not know that the master of the Wolf Temple who had been one of the Nine Superbs was actually another genius named Jiang Qiubai.
…
…
In Qin City, the capital of the Western Qin Empire.
In the deep courtyard of the imperial palace, the middle-aged man sitting on the throne slowly opened his eyes.
It was Emperor Qin Ming.
The royal family of the Western Qin had a unique bloodline. It had always been full of handsome men and beautiful women. Emperor Qin Ming was no exception. His face was as fair as jade, and there was a black beard under his chin. His facial features were handsome, his nose straight, his mouth wide, and his cheeks plump. He had the perfect charm of an adult man. However, at that moment, his handsome face was covered with a trace of fury.
"Yingshan Snow-eagle, that fool, was killed by a junior. He ruined my plan. One of the nine evil infants was destroyed. I have to change my plan."
On the throne in front of him, nine white jade life tablets were floating.
But one of them, the one with Yingshan Snow-eagle's name on it, had been broken. Cracks were spreading on it, as if the stones were about to explode. From the cracks, wisps of black evil airflow spilled out and then dissipated.
Emperor Qin Ming opened his mouth and inhaled. The wisps of black evil airflow were all sucked into his mouth as if they were the most delicious food in the world.
He was only enraged by the death of Yingshan Snow-eagle. As for the crown prince … he didn't even care.
With his lifespan and condition, he had plenty of time to have another son and train him to be his successor. Taking a step back, he had so many sons that he could casually pick any one of them to be the overseer of the country. Having children was just a matter of a single thought. The Great Dao was heartless. With his cultivation and temperament, he did not care much about the blood ties between his children.
It was not about the continuation of the bloodline.
It was about his dignity.
Two of his sons had been killed by Li Mu. In Emperor Qin Ming's view, it was a provocation to the imperial dignity.
How could he intimidate the world if he didn't kill Li Mu?
But it was not the time yet.
Because someone was protecting Li Mu.
He recalled the confrontation with Guo Yuqing. Although he was hundreds of thousands of miles away at that time, and it was just a wisp of his martial will, he could feel the power of that man who controlled the Wolf Temple on the pasture. At least in the short term, he was not sure he could defeat him.
"Could it be that the god of the Wolf Temple has also come to this world?"
Emperor Qin Ming was a little skeptical.
In the past, the Nine Superbs were in charge of the martial arts in the world. They were almost on par with each other. The master of the Wolf Temple was one of them. But Emperor Qin Ming thought that after he mastered the demonic cultivation method, he was confident to defeat the Nine Superbs. But why did the master of the Wolf Temple make him feel afraid when he came back after wasting five years?
"Did I underestimate the power of the Nine Superbs?"
Emperor Qin Ming frowned slightly. Soon, he had an idea.
"Come in," he said, "Summon Wang Zelong, the minister of the Grand Council."
Soon, the old general with white hair and beard came to the Dragon Hall.
"Your Majesty," Wang Zelong was an old minister in the era of Emperor Qin Ming. His loyalty was exemplary, and he was deeply trusted by Emperor Qin Ming.
"Have the Sand Clan in the far west accepted my terms?" Emperor Qin Ming asked. When he came out of closed-door training, he had sent a messenger to order the Sand Clan to withdraw and compensate the Western Qin for the loss.
Wang Zelong answered cautiously, "Your Majesty, the Pope of the Magic Sun Temple of the Sand Clan has come to the border in person to command the army. The messenger of the dynasty has been killed. I have sent more troops to the northwest border. General Li Yuanba's Heaven Inspire Army has also been assembled and reorganized. Tomorrow, they will go to the border to fight with the Sand Clan and give them a good beating …"
Emperor Qin Ming waved his hand and said decisively, "There's no need for that. Order Li Yuanba to go to the southeast border. He should find back what he has lost. What evil remnants of the Great Moon Empire? Perhaps the Crown Prince is just a child's play. How could he lose my ten cities and nine lands? Li Yuanba is really getting worse and worse."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Zelong took the order. Then, he said hesitantly, "The Sand Clan is rampant in the northwest border. Their army is pressing on the border. We have to guard against them. Which army should we send there? If General Li Yuanba doesn't go to the northwest, only Guan Minren, the chief steward, can take charge of the northwest and stabilize the situation. "
Emperor Qin Ming sneered and said, "No need. I will go in person."
Wang Zelong was dumbfounded and said, "Your Majesty, you want to go in person? This is a big deal … "
Emperor Qin Ming stood up and said firmly, "I've made up my mind." Then, he changed the subject and said, "Pass my decree. Li Mu is stripped of his title of Lord Taibai and demoted to a pariah. He is ordered to come to the capital to ask for punishment within half a month. Otherwise, I will flatten Taibai Mountain."
…
…
At the end of the summer of 1152 in the new calendar of the Divine Land, several earth-shattering events took place.
First, it was rumored that Yingshan Snow-eagle, the Emperor's Broadsword, the Western Qin Empire's God of Massacre, who was thought to have perished, was slain by Lord Taibai Li Mu in the Yue Mountain Range. Together with him, the crown prince of the Western Qin Empire, the experts of the Imperial Executive Office, more than a hundred experts of the Western Qin Empire, as well as the 30,000 imperial army of the Western Qin Empire …
When the news came out, the world was shocked.
That event was regarded as the most incredible internal strife in the Western Qin Empire.
Both Yingshan Snow-eagle and Li Mu were at the peak of martial arts in the Western Qin Empire. One was a well-known killing god in the past, and the other was a rising star. In terms of fame, Yingshan Snow-eagle was even more famous than Li Mu. After all, he was a giant who could defeat Li Poyue, the Guanshan Master, by only one move. But in the end, he was defeated by the younger generation.
When everyone heard the news, their first reaction was not how Li Mu became so powerful, but —
"Is Li Mu crazy?"
"As a man of the Western Qin, he killed the prince first and then the crown prince …"
"Gosh, even the people of the Northern Song and the Southern Chu can't be so cruel, can they?"
All kinds of insider news kept coming out.
For example, the recovery of the Mountain-protection Deployment of the Yue Mountain Faction, the death of more than 30,000 imperial soldiers by Yingshan Snow-eagle, and the reason why Li Mu drew out his broadsword in anger … Those news shocked many people again and again.
The news that Emperor Qin Ming had ended his closed-door training and returned to the Western Qin Empire was mixed in with those messy news. At first, it did not attract much attention. But when the news came out from the northwest border of the Western Qin Empire that Emperor Qin Ming had led the army in person and killed the pope of the Magic Sun Temple and the top of the Mingsha Mountain, the whole world was boiling.
