"Son, you're watching from the heavens. I'm going to avenge you. I've already made the first step … Li Mu will die miserably."
Zhou Zhenhai roared in his heart.
Then, he turned around and left with a ferocious and excited face.
The cool night wind blew over Zhou Zhenhai's ferocious face.
His son Zhou Wu, the deputy county magistrate of Taibai County, was killed by Li Mu.
The power that the Zhou family had painstakingly built in Taibai County for many years was destroyed in an instant.
Zhou Zhenhai was thinking about revenge all the time.
This time, he instigated his elder brother Zhou Zhenyue to come to Taibai County because he wanted to take revenge with the help of the Taibai Sword Faction.
But these days, Zhou Zhenhai's heart was getting more and more desperate.
Li Mu was too powerful.
Especially after the meeting of the two factions in the ruins of Shennong Faction, Zhou Zhenhai realized that it was impossible for him to take revenge with his own power. And his elder brother Zhou Zhenyue didn't seem to care about the revenge of the Zhou family. He had been putting it off until now. No one knew what he was waiting for.
But Zhou Zhenhai couldn't wait any longer.
Because he saw Li Mu's growth.
His enemy was getting stronger at an incredible speed.
Others might not be aware of this change, but Zhou Zhenhai felt it deeply.
Because in this world, the people who knew you best were not your relatives but your enemies.
If he let his enemy grow stronger, he might not be able to wait for the day when he succeeded.
Therefore, he took the risk and spent some effort and paid some price to secretly instigate and bewitch several disciples of the Taibai Sword Faction to ambush Li Mu.
But Zhou Zhenhai didn't expect the so-called ambush to succeed from the beginning.
He knew very well that the four arrogant and stupid disciples of the Taibai Sword Faction were no match for Li Mu at all.
He just wanted to create an opportunity for Li Mu to kill several disciples of the Taibai Sword Faction.
In this way, he could make the Taibai Sword Faction, who were protective of Li Mu, furious and use the power of the Taibai Sword Faction to kill Li Mu.
But he didn't expect to encounter the blind Crow Taoist breaking into the Taibai County government.
The cunning Zhou Zhenhai realized that the opportunity had come.
Moreover, it was a heaven-sent opportunity.
He made a prompt decision and brought several disciples of the Taibai Sword Faction into the county government. Then, he knocked them out with knockout incense and killed them one by one.
As long as he died in the government of Taibai County, it would be fine.
Because Zhou Zhenhai knew those swordsmen of the Taibai Sword Faction too well. Their brains and intestines were as straight as swords, without any twists and turns. They were hot-tempered, impulsive, and protective of their own. If they found out that a disciple died in the county government, Li Mu would definitely be the first target to be punished.
"Li Mu, just you wait. Your doomsday is coming."
Under the cover of the night, Zhou Zhenhai disappeared into the dense forest of the mountain city.
…
…
Li Mu finally arrived at the county government.
The gate of the county government office collapsed, the door was broken, the walls were damaged, the bricks and tiles were messy, and smoke and dust filled the air …
It was as if they had gone through a forced demolition.
There were also some injured soldiers groaning at the side.
Li Mu rushed in with big strides.
Ma Junwu was dizzily kneading the dough.
Obviously, the battle was over.
A soldier who looked like a Dutou Official rushed to kneel and said with shame, "Your honor, we are useless and failed to stop that evil Taoist. Please punish us …"
Li Mu waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "Let's not talk about this first. How are the casualties of our brothers?"
Hearing that, not only Ma Junwu and the Dutou Official, but also those wounded soldiers who were lying on the ground suddenly felt warm.
They originally thought that the county magistrate would be punished for their poor defense this time.
"That Taoist doesn't seem to want to kill people. All the brothers were just injured, but no one was killed …" said the Dutou Official.
Li Mu nodded. When he was about to say something, he suddenly smelled blood.
His figure flashed and appeared in front of a collapsed wall.
Amidst the broken bricks and tiles, there were four bodies in ordinary clothes lying in a pool of blood. There were knife wounds on their bodies, and their blood had already dried up. They were completely dead.
Ma Junwu and the Dutou Official came over. When they saw it, their faces changed greatly.
"This … is impossible. I have just counted it. The brothers are clearly here … How could it be?" The Dutou Official was also a little bit numb.
"Could it be that the brothers who have been on leave heard the noise and came back to support?" Ma Junwu asked.
"This …" The Dutou Official was a little bit uncertain.
The guards in the county government had always changed shifts.
He was the Dutou Official on duty tonight. He knew the guards under his control, but not all the guards.
"Collect their corpses first and find out which squad they belong to." Li Mu ordered.
In his heart, the anger had been burning.
Last time, Zhang Ru was killed by the Shennong Faction, and he overturned and crushed the Shennong Faction.
Today, a Taoist came out of nowhere and killed four guards. It was simply unforgivable.
"Where is Qing Feng?" Li Mu asked loudly. He looked around and became worried.
Could this little enchanting attendant have been taken away together with Ming Yue?
"Young Master, I … I am here …"
A weak voice came from under the collapsed wall.
Others could not hear it, but Li Mu's hearing was very sharp. He immediately heard that it was the little attendant's voice. It seemed that he was pressed under the wall and could not get out.
"Shit."
"Was he smashed to death?"
In Li Mu's heart, all kinds of bad thoughts emerged.
He quickly came under the collapsed wall and carefully pushed away the bricks and tiles.
The little attendant Qing Feng, like a loach, suddenly got out from below.
"Young Master, Ming Yue was taken away by the crow and flew to the back office … She is in danger. Go, go to save her …" As soon as Qing Feng came out, he anxiously pointed to the direction of the back office.
Li Mu carefully looked up and down at the little evildoer.
Fortunately, he was not hurt.
But he was just covered in the triangular area between the collapsed wall and the foot of the wall. Qing Feng's body was small, so he could just hold it, so he was not hurt at all except for being covered with dust.
"You stay here, I will go to save her."
As Li Mu said, he was about to run to the back office.
Qing Feng grabbed him and said, "Young Master, take this with you." As he said, he handed Li Mu a small round hollow metal ball the size of a palm. It was silver and exquisitely made, and there was a soft buzzing sound coming from it.
"What is this?"
Li Mu took it and found that there were more than a dozen strange golden flying insects in the hollow metal ball. They were like headless flies, flying and bumping around inside, looking extremely irritable.
"The Fragrant Flying Ant, a kind of small animal native to Taibai Mountain, especially likes the Snake Birth Fragrance, which can be found from dozens of miles away. I have smeared some Snake Birth Fragrance on Ming Yue before, and they can help you find the location of Ming Yue …" Qing Feng said in a hurry.
"What?"
"When did you make this thing?"
"Why didn't I know it?"
Li Mu took a deep look at the little evildoer.
This little guy was as cunning as an old fox.
There was no time to ask more. Li Mu held the silver hollow metal ball, turned into a flash of lightning, and flew to the direction of the back office.
"Young Master, be careful, the blind Taoist knows magic, it's terrible …"
Little Qing Feng's warning voice came from behind.
"Got it."
Li Mu waved his hand.
After a few ups and downs.
Li Mu crossed the back office and came to the dense forest outside the wall.
There was no trace, and there were no footprints on the ground.
In terms of tracking, Li Mu was obviously not good at it.
Without any hesitation, he opened the mechanism of the silver metal ball and released a Fragrant Flying Ant from it.
Buzz!
This little guy, which looked like a large golden flying ant with wings, squeaked and was extremely irritable, as if it was crazy, flapped its wings and flew to the depths of the dense forest outside the back office.
Its speed was as fast as a golden light.
Li Mu performed the body-lightening skill and followed it closely.
That was also because of his terrifying eyesight and speed improved by the Xiantian Skill, he could keep up with the two moons in the hazy night shrouded by dark clouds.
If it were other people, even first-class martial arts masters at the peak of the Joint-thoughts level, they would lose the Fragrant Flying Ant in a few breaths.
After ten breaths.
The Fragrant Flying Ant passed through the dense forest and plunged into the cliff abyss behind.
Li Mu followed it directly without hesitation.
"The blind Taoist can also go deep into the abyss of the cliff?"
Li Mu had more vigilance in his heart.
Being able to go down from the abyss of the cliff, he must be a real martial arts master.
Moreover, the blind Taoist also caught a person like little Ming Yue, which was more difficult.
Being able to do this, he was definitely a master among masters.
Before, Ma Junwu and little Qing Feng said that the Taoist knew sorcery, and Li Mu didn't take it seriously. But at this time, he was afraid that the blind Taoist was really evil, and there was something strange about him.
Li Mu put away his contempt.
Soon, the roar of the waterfall came from below.
They had arrived at the position of the Nine-dragons Fall.
The Fragrant Flying Ant flew too impatiently, bumped into the waterfall, was rolled up by the water, and immediately disappeared without a trace.
Li Mu had to release the second Fragrant Flying Ant from the silver metal ball.
Swoosh!
This flying ant was like an arrow that had left the bow, and it continued to fly downwards. However, it was able to avoid the terrifying waterfall that was capable of flowing down three thousand feet straight.
Li Mu followed it closely.
In a moment, they reached the bottom of the abyss of the cliff.
At this moment, a crack appeared in the dark clouds in the sky.
The cool and bright moonlight poured down from the cloud crack, like a silver sword, piercing the void between the sky and the earth.
The waterfall, the pool and the lake were sparkling under the moonlight, as if a piece of silver had been sprinkled.
Li Mu landed by the lake.
He saw a giant crow with a wingspan of two meters hovering above the deep, dark lake. It was soundless, like a nether spirit from the Yellow Springs.
In the middle of the lake, there was a protruding rock.
The top of the rock was as smooth as a mirror, like a black stone platform with a diameter of ten meters.
A Daoist holding a bamboo pole stood on the black stone platform.
He wore a black Taoist robe, a sun and moon Taoist hat, a pair of awn boots, and a wooden sword wrapped with a red rope on his back. Bathed in the moonlight, he was thin, his face was stiff, and there were no eyeballs in his empty eye sockets. He was standing quietly, as if waiting for something.
The adorkable little girl Ming Yue was tied up, and her mouth was covered, lying on the rock, struggling.
Finally found her.
Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
Ming Yue was temporarily unscathed, still safe.
"You're here."
The Taoist's ears moved slightly, and he turned his head. His empty eye sockets were like two twisted black holes, "looking" at Li Mu's direction, and spoke.
His voice was hoarse, like two pieces of rusty iron rubbing.
"Are you waiting for me?" Li Mu was stunned, and then his pupils shrank slightly.
"You came a little faster than I thought." The blind Taoist turned his whole body.
The moonlight fell from the back of the blind Taoist.
He was in the beam of moonlight that connected the heavens and the earth. His figure was thin and clear, as if he was covered in moonlight. However, his face was hidden in the shadow of his figure. There was an indescribable strangeness to it.
