However, the nine major sects soon discovered that something might have gone wrong with the strategy of closing the door and beating the dog. That was because Li Muzi returned to the Sky-reaching Sword Sect's station with serious injuries in the first half of the night, less than an hour after the others left, to recuperate.
It was said that the mysterious young master from the Extraterrestrial Demon Cult had returned from the Stone Forest and came out to fight. After three moves, he had cut open Li Muzi, the Sword Master of the Sky-reaching Sword Sect, and severely injured him.
"Hahaha, compared with Qin Rushuang, this whetstone is of better quality."
These were the arrogant words he left behind before fleeing into the stone forest before the other Fragmentation Realm experts arrived.
This young man was using a Void-breaking Realm expert to sharpen his blade.
For the nine major sects, it was a great humiliation.
For the experts in the Void-breaking Realm of the nine major sects, it was also a slap in the face.
After some discussion, the heads of the Zhu Family, an aristocratic family specializing in tactical deployments, and the Gongsun Family, an aristocratic family specializing in mechanisms and puppets, jointly set up a supreme killing formation near the stone forest. Then, an expert in the Void-breaking Realm presided over the formation, ready to lure and kill the mysterious young expert of the Devil Cult.
However, it was still a farce.
The mysterious young expert of the Devil Cult broke the formation with a snap of his fingers, and Duan Feng, the Lord of ZhongTian City, who supported the formation, was also defeated and fled after three strikes, not daring to fight again. Some of the materials used to set up the formation were snatched away, and the elite experts of ZhongTian City who worked together to defend the formation were all killed.
The situation suddenly became very awkward for the nine major sects.
Seeing that the battle in the arena was imminent, three experts in the Void-breaking Realm — Tan Rushuang, Li Muzi, and Duan Feng — had been severely injured one after another, which was a huge blow to the strength of the nine major sects.
Besides, what should he do now?
Should they surround the stone forest or not?
If they surrounded him, all the experts in the Void-breaking Realm of the nine sects had to be here. Only then could they have the confidence to trap this mysterious young expert. Otherwise, they would really be giving the opponent a "whetstone". However, if all the experts in the Void-breaking Realm were pinned down here, what should they do if the experts of the Devil Cult in White Emperor City launched a surprise attack?
It wasn't a siege, right?
Well, actually, there was nothing wrong with not besieging them.
But the main thing was that he couldn't take it lying down.
It was hard to get off.
In the end, the nine sects chose to withdraw.
There was no other way. The extraterrestrial immortals had not shown up yet. Facing someone who could defeat the Void-breaking Realm head-on, they were really at their wits' end.
But Li Mu was very melancholic.
As early as when he was on the Divine Land, his Broadsword Intent could kill those in the Void-breaking Realm in a second. But those who were in the Void-breaking Realm had just entered the Void-breaking Realm and had not yet fully consolidated their realm. They could be regarded as little kids in the Void-breaking Realm. However, the Seven Supreme Masters of the Decent Sects on the Bitter Star were all real experienced experts in the Void-breaking Realm. They were burly men in this realm, so their strength was different from each other.
Li Mu, who was eager to hunt, hoped that the nine major sects would continue to surround them here.
This way, he could practice his saber properly.
When he was on Earth, Li Mu had also studied the moves and Cultivation Methods of the Jianghu sects.
Although there was no Spiritual Qi on Earth and the effects of cultivation were slim, it was precisely because of this that the sects and warriors on Earth pursued the changes and exquisiteness of moves above the outside world. However, it was only the changes in moves. In terms of the power of cultivation techniques, it was much worse.
By studying these moves and Cultivation Methods, Li Mu also gained a lot.
After a good preparation, the battle with the powerful experts in the Void-breaking Realm today was really a great inspiration for Li Mu, especially in the aspect of broadsword-using methods. He really had a sign of breaking out of the cocoon and being reborn.
All methods returned to the origin.
His broadsword-using methods also returned to the mode of the Wind-Cloud Six Moves from the extreme changes.
Six moves returning to one was Li Mu's ultimate pursuit.
He had vaguely touched this threshold.
But now, the experts in the Void-breaking Realm of the nine major sects did not have the consciousness of being whetstones at all.
What should he do?
He couldn't really go to their door, could he?
That would be courting death.
Li Mu would never believe that there were no extraterrestrial cultivators secretly supporting the nine major sects.
Once the extraterrestrial cultivators were involved, it was better to be cautious.
"Let's enter White Emperor City." Ding Yi's injury had recovered a lot. After pondering for a while, he gave a suggestion, "If we are really blocked in the Stone Forest by those bastards from outer space, the two of us will have to grow old together and die here."
That was a good suggestion, but why did it sound so chivalrous?
Li Mu thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "That's fine. Anyway, what should be done has been done."
Ding Yi laughed and said, "It just so happens that I've done what I should do."
The two sneaked out of the Stone Forest and carefully observed for a while. When they found that there was indeed no ambush, they directly set off. Instead of flying straight to White Emperor City, they took a big detour to prevent ambushes on the way. Then, they changed direction and flew to White Emperor City.
On the way, Li Mu suddenly thought of a question. "How can we enter the city?"
How strict was the defense of White Emperor City?
In such a hurry, he was afraid that they couldn't get in. He couldn't stand outside the door and shout, and he didn't have any tokens with him.
Ding Yi said triumphantly, "Don't forget, I'm the future leader of the Fate-defying Sect."
Half an hour later, the two arrived at the foot of White Emperor City.
White Emperor City was located at the center of Mount Shu, on the White Emperor Peak. The whole city was built with white Mount Shu stones. Surrounded by a sea of white clouds, the city looked like a fairy palace floating in the sea of clouds. From the outside, it was extremely beautiful.
There were seven branches of the Mount Shu Sect, so there were seven gates in White Emperor City.
Ding Yi led Li Mu to one of the gates. After taking a closer look, he turned around and left.
"What's going on?" Li Mu asked.
Ding Yi said with a serious face, "Wait a minute. This is not the right time to enter the gate."
Li Mu was speechless.
"Is there such a thing?"
It was not until Ding Yi took Li Mu around the six gates and came to the last gate in the southwest that Li Mu suddenly understood that the time was not right. It was obvious that this guy didn't find the gate that belonged to the Fate-defying Sect, so he led Li Mu to wander around in a mess. Moreover, he was really unlucky. After visiting all seven gates, he finally found the gate that belonged to the Fate-defying Sect.
"You are the future leader of the Fate-defying Sect, but you don't know which of the seven gates in White Emperor City belongs to the Fate-defying Sect?" Li Mu said helplessly.
"Did you see through me?" Ding Yi chuckled and said, "I have no choice. It's also the first time I've come to White Emperor City."
"Ah?" Li Mu was speechless.
Ding Yi said matter-of-factly, "What's so strange about that? I only got the Fate-defying Sect's inheritance a few years ago. A hundred years ago, in the war between the decent and the devil, the Fate-defying Sect was wiped out. Only the inheritance drifted in the world. In the end, I was chosen to be the Fate-defying Sect of this generation. Before that, I had been cultivating all the time, so I have never come back."
Li Mu was even more speechless.
"Why does he feel so unreliable?"
However, when Ding Yi took out the token of the Fate-defying Sect and slowly opened the gate, Li Mu finally gave up the contempt in his heart.
"All right."
"Finally, I'm reliable for once."
The opening of the Fate-defying Sect finally alarmed all the parties in the city.
After a series of difficult confirmations, Li Mu and Ding Yi's identities were finally recognized.
When they met the experts of the Moon Dao Sect, the Dragon King Ridge, the Sky-overlooking Pavilion, and the Water and Moon School, Luo Xuanxin, Lu Xun, and the others, who had stayed in White Emperor City for a period of time, introduced the two of them one by one.
Li Mu felt a familiar atmosphere.
In White Emperor City, unlike the nine major sects outside, the social classes were not as obvious and distinct as the class barriers. Instead, it was quite free and reserved. Even the heads of the major branches did not put on too much airs.
"Master, you've finally returned safely. That's great!" After the introductions, Xiao Dong and the others came over excitedly and said, "Where's Sister Wuhen? Didn't you come back together? "
"Holy Girl Ye?" Li Mu was stunned and asked, "Why? She's not in White Emperor City?"
Xiao Dong and the others were surprised.
A burly, bearded old man in a purple-gold battle robe with a domineering aura said, "Previously, the nine major sects released the news that you were besieged on the Desktop Peak. It was difficult to verify the authenticity of the news, so the people in the city could not rescue you for the time being. Moreover, the war is imminent. For the sake of the overall situation, we really can't spare any time to come out. So in the end, we decided not to send any reinforcements. It depends on your luck. However, Ye Wuhen, the Holy Girl of the Moon Dao Sect, insisted on going out to find out the truth.
This man was the head of the Dragon King Ridge, one of the seven major branches of the Divine Sect on Mount Shu.
He was one of the giants of Mount Shu and was very imposing.
"Huh? Is there such a thing? "Li Mu looked at Ding Yi.
The two of them shook their heads in unison.
Li Mu's heart skipped a beat.
"This is bad."
"This is definitely a scheme of the nine major sects. They deliberately released the news to" bait "him."
Ye Wuhen thought that the future leader of the Fate-defying Sect was him.
"Therefore, this peerless beauty with long light green hair took the risk to leave White Emperor City for him."
"Ye Wuhen is in danger."
This was the first thought that flashed through Li Mu's mind.
"What should we do?"
Li Mu looked at Ding Yi.
Ding Yi also changed his usual cheerful look and frowned.
"I'll go out to find Virgin Goddess Wuhen," Li Mu said.
Before, the Divine Sect couldn't send anyone to save the future leader of the Fate-defying Sect. Now, they also couldn't send anyone to save Ye Wuhen.
It sounded a little cruel, but it was the most rational choice.
However, Li Mu couldn't just sit back and do nothing.
The head of the Moon Dao Sect was a white-haired old lady. Hearing this, she nodded secretly.
With this sentence alone, Ye Wuhen could be considered to have chosen the right person.
"Good. You're indeed a man of heart. Based on your feelings for Wuhen, you can go. As long as you come back alive, I will personally preside over your wedding and let you get married," the old lady of the Moon Dao Sect said formally.
"What?"
Li Mu looked at the old lady with a dumbfounded look.
"Wedding?
"Get married?
"What is this?
"What do you mean by my feelings for Wuhen? Grandma, don't talk nonsense. What kind of feelings do I have?"
Ding Yi laughed on the side.
He lowered his voice and said to Li Mu gloatingly, "Oh, I forgot to tell you. According to the inheritance customs of the Divine Sect, there is a natural engagement between the Virgin Goddess of the Moon Dao Sect and the future leader of the Fate-defying Sect. Once the two of them do not reject each other, they will eventually become Taoist companions and husband and wife. Because the Cultivation Methods of these two branches can be pushed to the extreme when a man and a woman practice together."
Li Mu was immediately confused.
