With Li Mu's current spiritual force, it was absolutely no problem for him to cover the area within a radius of several kilometers on the rocky beach. But this was the territory of the Beggar Gang after all, and there were many experts on the rocky beach. To avoid alerting the enemy, Li Mu still carefully restrained his spiritual force and searched inch by inch. So far, he had not found the aura of the old beggar Zuo Luyi or Ming Yue, not even that fat talking dog.
If Zuo Luyi was really the First Elder of the Beggar Gang, he should show up at the Beggar Gang's meeting.
Li Mu was very cautious this time. He had to find Ming Yue.
Therefore, he did not even ask Lu Changfu, the honest man, for clues about Zuo Luyi. He was also worried about alerting the enemy. Who knew the relationship between Lu Changfu and Zuo Luyi?
While Li Mu was pondering, the experts of the Beggar Gang on the rocky beach were already in a mess.
It could be seen that Li Yuntao the Dragon Palm was indeed very prestigious. Even though Divine Beggar, the Grand Master of the Beggar Gang, claimed that he was a traitor and had Ma Xun as evidence, many experts and disciples of the Beggar Gang did not believe it. Many of them were asking loudly, hoping to make Li Yuntao speak in person.
But Li Yuntao's body was inhibited, so he could not speak.
The burly man stood on the stone platform, showing no fear or intention to hide. He could not speak, but his expression was generous and his eyes were frank.
"Why don't you let Brother Li speak?" A Branch Leader stepped forward and asked loudly.
Divine Beggar's expression changed slightly. He did not expect that there were still so many disciples of the Beggar Gang supporting Li Yuntao. He was about to say something …
At that moment, Liang Zhi, a pretty boy with squinted eyes and a faint smile, suddenly raised his hand. The folding fan in his hand turned into a black and white bolt of lightning, which cut open the void as quickly as a hot knife cutting butter. Before the Branch Leader who had shouted at him realized what was going on, his head was cut off by the folding fan. Then, the fan returned to Liang Zhi's hand with his head.
The pungent smell of blood spread out.
The corpse fell.
No one expected that he would suddenly kill someone.
"Peace Branch Leader Zhou Xiong is one of Li Yuntao's henchmen, as well as one of the traitors. He actually dared to come out and spread lies to deceive the public. He deserves to be killed." Liang Zhi smiled coldly as he held the head of the Taiping Division's Branch Master, Zhou Xiong. Under the moonlight, Liang Zhi's pale face looked indescribably terrifying.
Li Yuntao glared at Liang Zhi angrily. The veins on the back of his arms were bulging, but he couldn't break free from the custody.
However, after a short moment of silence, more experts of the Beggar Sect leaped up onto the stone platform and surrounded Liang Zhi. Seething with rage, they demanded an explanation. The Beggar Sect had its own rules. Many of them could not accept being accused of murder.
Liang Zhi sneered. His fair face was filled with awe-inspiring killing intent, and he actually intended to attack once more.
At this time, Divine Beggar, the Grand Master, shouted, "What are you doing? Could it be that you want to rebel? "Don't forget the oath you took when you joined the Beggar Sect …." With that, his body began to sway, and his face turned deathly pale. Then, he opened his mouth and coughed up a mouthful of blood. His entire demeanor seemed a lot more listless.
"Gang Leader!"
"This … Sect Leader, are you alright?"
Seeing that, the others were all shocked.
Divine Beggar bellowed, "Are you trying to piss me off? Or, are you going to rebel while I'm seriously injured by the Bloody-moon Faction? "
None of them dared.
Over the years, Divine Beggar's prestige in the Beggar Sect was quite high. Years ago, he had turned the tide several times. In the Northern Song, he was also known as a chivalrous hero. He was recognized as a top expert of the orthodox Taoism. Now that he had lost his temper, the experts of the Beggar Sect had to retreat for the time being.
"Liang Zhi attacked me because I was seriously injured. That's why he attacked me. Why are you in such a hurry? If I didn't have enough evidence and confidence, would I have wronged Li Yuntao and Zhou Xiong? You should know that I've trained them as if they were my own sons. Now that they've been killed, my heart hurts more than yours, "Divine Beggar said loudly.
Because of his rage, drops of blood trickled down from the corners of his mouth, dyeing his white beard red.
The fair-faced Liang Zhi walked over and held Divine Beggar.
At that moment, those experts of the Beggar Sect who had attacked Li Yuntao earlier also looked embarrassed. They repeatedly said they didn't dare and backed down from the stone platform.
Li Mu stared at him, but he couldn't tell what was going on.
That Divine Beggar was indeed at his last gasp. He had been holding on with all his might. But now, his internal injuries flared up, and his Semi-Sage cultivation was declining rapidly. It seemed that he would not live long. Li Mu was taken aback by the old man's grief and indignation. "Is that seemingly generous Li Yuntao really a traitor?"
Li Mu was a little immersed in his role.
Nevertheless, his spiritual force was still searching for Zuo Luyi, the old beggar.
Honest Lu Changfu, who was beside him, had a complicated expression on his face.
He was Divine Beggar's old buddy. He was very loyal to the Grand Master, but he also trusted Li Yuntao. Perhaps only he knew the pain in his heart at that moment.
After that, Divine Beggar calmed down the crowd's excitement.
Standing on the stone platform, Li Yuntao trembled all over after hearing Divine Beggar's words. A pained look appeared on his face. In the eyes of some people, he seemed to have finally found his conscience.
Then, dozens more people were dragged to the stone platform. They were all experts of the Beggar Sect, including the leaders and Guardians of Rules of the branches. They were all killed on the spot, accused of colluding with Li Yuntao, betraying the Beggar Sect, and slaughtering their brothers. Blood dyed the stone platform red. At that moment, the cruelty of the Beggar Sect was on full display.
Wang Shiyu's face turned pale.
Li Mu gently held her hand.
After all, she was an Earthling. Since she came to that world, she had lived in a prince's mansion. So, she had rarely seen such a scene of slaughter. On that day, when Li Mu rushed to rescue her, all the people he killed turned into flames. That scene was beautiful, unlike the bloody scene in front of her.
Lu Changfu's body trembled. He couldn't accept all this.
Those who were killed were all extremely famous brothers in the gang, rising stars of the younger generation. But … why did it have to be like this?
Li Mu gradually lost interest in the domestic affairs of the Beggar Sect. What made him a little anxious was that he had basically searched the entire rocky beach but did not find Zuo Luyi, one of the so-called grand elders of the Beggar Sect, nor did he see Ming Yue and that yellow fat dog. Gradually, Li Mu decided to leave.
He had no intention of meddling in the affairs of the Beggar Sect.
At that time, on the stone platform, Divine Beggar was on the verge of collapse. He spat out mouthfuls of blood and said, "Old brothers, I can't hold on any longer. This meeting is called for one more thing. A snake can't live without its head, and a bird can't fly without its head. Before I die, I must choose a Grand Master to take over. Only then can I rest in peace. This is an urgent matter, and I have no time to quarrel. I directly appoint my last disciple, Liang Zhi, as the next Grand Master …"
The crowd burst into an uproar again.
Obviously, many people were not convinced by that decision.
Divine Beggar said, "I know many old brothers are not convinced. But Liang Zhi is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Although he is not talkative, he is very talented and loyal to the Beggar Sect. His strength is good enough. If he takes over as Grand Master, I can rest in peace in the netherworld …"
In the end, with Divine Beggar's sincere persuasion and explanation, the situation was gradually brought under control.
The general trend was set.
That white-faced Liang Zhi, who was full of murderous intent and wore a sneer on his face, only needed to go through some formalities and become the new Grand Master of the Beggar Sect.
Divine Beggar breathed a sigh of relief.
However, right at that moment, Li Mu's expression suddenly changed.
Then, Divine Beggar also sensed something. Regardless of his internal injuries, he sprang to his feet and looked to the east.
Then, Liang Zhi.
Then, many experts of the Beggar Sect.
The crowd raised their heads and looked at the sky.
They saw a strange scene unfolding in the moonlight — the two moons hanging in the dark cyan sky had two long black ropes dangling down. No one knew what the ropes were made of, but they were connected to the moonlight. On the other end of the ropes was a simple wooden swing.
The swing was echoing.
A woman's sweet laughter was heard.
"Hehehe, you two bastards, your acting skills are really good, but you can only fool these idiots. How can you fool an expert?" A clear and melodious voice that sounded like the cry of a lark in a deep valley rang out.
Then, everyone's eyes were dazzled. Then, they saw a girl about 12 or 13 years old standing on the empty swing. She had braided hair, big eyes, delicate features, and fair skin. She was wearing a fiery red dress and barefoot. Her ankles were slender, and her toes were delicate and fair. Her nails were painted red, which looked like cardamom, very mesmerizing.
That girl had set up a swing with the two moons as the point. The swing swayed and floated in the air.
"An immortal?"
"A monster?"
There were many experts of the Beggar Sect on the rocky beach, but they had never seen such a scene.
This scene was indeed a little unimaginable.
But Li Mu's face showed a hint of surprise.
Even Qing Feng, the little attendant on Yuan Hou's back beside him, was extremely excited.
"Ming Yue?"
The beautiful girl who appeared on the swing turned out to be the long-lost little attendant, Ming Yue.
But soon, Li Mu and Qing Feng looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Therefore, the girl's appearance, age, and voice were exactly the same as Ming Yue's. But her tone, tone, and eyes were completely different from Ming Yue's. Her temperament had changed a lot.
What was more bizarre was that at this time, Ming Yue was surging with a kind of ethereal and powerful aura, as if she was the incarnation of the Moon God. Even Li Mu felt a little threatened by her. She was at least in the Sage Realm.
"Before Ming Yue disappeared, she was just a little attendant who was lazy and had no strength. How could she become a Sage in such a short time?"
"Is this a joke?"
Li Mu felt a little dizzy.
"Is this girl not Ming Yue, but just a little like her?"
"But even if a ghost carried twins into the womb, they can't look so similar, can they?"
