"He's dead?"
Ying Yuanyuan examined the corpse and found the cause of death.
"It's a knife wound. He was killed by a sneak attack from behind."
The three of them noticed that there was a bone-deep wound on Feng Fei's back. It was caused by a sword, which had cut through his flesh and bones and destroyed all his internal organs, leaving no trace of life.
Feng Fei was killed by his companion.
Li Mu immediately made a judgment.
In the Divine Fox Secret Realm, only the Heavenly Talents would use weapons to kill.
"It must be Fan Xiong and Fan Wei who killed him," Liao Biting said angrily.
These two people were the other two Heavenly Talents who had joined Feng Fei in using Li Mu as a target to lure the Blood Bats away.
Ying Yuanyuan frowned and said, "But why did they kill Feng Fei?"
Li Mu glanced around and then walked toward a huge rock in the distance.
A strange fruit tree was growing under the rock.
The fruit tree exuded a scorching heat. The ground around the tree roots was barren, and even the soil was scorched black. There were no leaves on the fruit tree, and there were flames flickering on the branches. It wasn't that the branches had been set on fire, but that the flames had grown from the branches.
"Judging from the size of the Heavenly Fire Vermillion Fruit Tree, it should be at least a hundred thousand years old. It should have just ripened and bore the Heavenly Fire Vermillion Fruit. This fruit is a rare second-grade immortal fruit. Consuming it can allow a general level martial artist to break through to the King level and increase his lifespan by a thousand years … It seems that it was picked by the Fan brothers."
Li Mu said.
"They must have plotted against Feng Fei because they wanted to keep the Heaven Fire Red Fruit for themselves." Ying Yuanyuan suddenly realized and said, "I didn't expect the Fan Brothers to be so crazy."
"How many people can really resist the temptation of a great treasure?" Li Mu was already used to it.
Feng Fei had bitten the hand that fed him and used Li Mu as a target to attract the attention of the blood bats. He was not a good person, so Li Mu did not feel any sympathy for his death.
In the Divine Fox Secret Realm, there were all kinds of secret treasures and opportunities. How many people could really resist the temptation?
"Let's go."
Li Mu followed his memory and headed toward the White Bone Mountain area he had passed before.
Finding the Heaven Mending Soul-Returning Grass was still his top priority.
In the Divine Fox Secret Realm, the alternation between day and night was extremely distinct.
"Oh no, the Blood Bats are here again." Ying Yuanyuan's expression suddenly changed as she pointed to the right.
Liao Biting turned around and saw a large number of blood bats forming a long blood dragon chasing after the three of them. She was immediately alarmed and a terrified expression appeared on her face.
But Li Mu had already noticed it, so he stopped and waited.
"Young Master, we …" Ying Yuanyuan panicked and tried to persuade Li Mu to leave.
Li Mu said, "Don't be afraid. There's no danger."
He stretched out his hand. Among the swarm of blood-colored bats, a huge bat with a pair of pale golden wings flapped its wings and landed in front of Li Mu. It was as docile as a domestic hen, squeaking in a strange way.
Li Mu nodded and waved his hand.
The giant golden bat actually bowed, and then led the other blood-colored bats to fly up into the sky with a flapping sound.
Both Ying Yuanyuan and Liao Biting were dumbfounded.
"Young Master is also proficient in the art of taming animals?" Liao Biting was extremely surprised.
Li Mu said, "It's just a little trick."
The Xiantian Skill had a natural affinity with living creatures. Besides, some of the Taoist magic arts taught by the old faker could communicate with Spirit Beasts, especially the Blood Bats. Ordinary cultivators couldn't communicate with them with their spiritual force, but the old faker's Taoist magic arts could.
That pale golden bat just now was a leader of Bat King's subordinates. He had brought news of Bat King. Before sunset, the flock of bats had not found any news of the Heaven Reviving Grass, so Li Mu ordered them to continue their search.
The three of them continued on their way.
About half an hour later, they were about hundreds of miles away from Bone Mountain.
But Li Mu suddenly frowned and stopped.
Because he had discovered something unexpected.
In the night, the dangerous aura in Bone Mountain increased exponentially.
Standing hundreds of miles away, Li Mu could see that the snow-white Bone Mountain looked like an ancient glacier in the daytime, but at night, it turned into a flaming mountain with all kinds of ghostly fire. He could vaguely hear the roars of strange creatures, and all kinds of terrible light surrounded the sky.
"We can't get close to Bone Mountain at night."
Li Mu quickly made a decision.
Ying Yuanyuan and Liao Biting, the two female cultivators, were actually quite strong and courageous. But when they saw the ghostly fire in the distance, they were a little afraid.
"An ancestor of our Ying family once entered the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm and left a message. The secret realm at night is a hundred times more dangerous than during the day. So, we must stop exploring at night and find a safe place to hide." Ying Yuanyuan looked at Li Mu and reminded him in a low voice.
Liao Biting said, "When I came in, there was a similar warning in my family."
Hearing that, Li Mu understood.
No matter what methods they used to get into the top 100, one thing was certain — most of them came from the big families, forces, aristocratic families, and sects of the Zi Wei Galaxy. Therefore, they must have collected all kinds of information and made all kinds of preparations. For example, there were warnings about the various dangerous areas and species in the secret realm.
Since both Ying Yuanyuan and Liao Biting said so, then the evening party must be more dangerous.
"Young Master, the danger level of the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm this time seems to be even more terrifying than what was recorded in the ancient books. Maybe we have encountered the Ominous Tide that only happens once every ten thousand years. We must not be careless." Ying Yuanyuan said.
Li Mu was deep in thought.
Liao Biting saw Li Mu's silence and thought that he still wanted to take the risk of traveling at night. She quickly said, "Young Master Li, it's not that we are afraid of death. There might be some changes in the secret realm that the outside world doesn't know about. For example, the Blood Bats today. It is the first time that such a large group has appeared in the records. My intuition tells me that something terrible is happening. So, we cannot take the risk."
Li Mu looked at the two girls.
It turned out that he was not the only one who felt that way.
The danger level of the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm was beyond everyone's imagination. Something terrible was brewing.
He thought about it and agreed that there was no need to take the risk.
In the end, Li Mu agreed with the two girls.
After some discussion, he brought the two girls back to the valley and dug a cave on the cliff. They rested for the time being and waited for dawn.
Li Mu dug a cave by himself, set up a tactical deployment, and began to cultivate.
In the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm, the laws of heaven and earth were clear and the Spiritual Qi was abundant. It was twice the result with half the effort to cultivate the Xiantian Skill.
After one night, Li Mu's natural qi cultivation had improved a lot.
Ying Yuanyuan and Li Mu also knew the benefits of cultivating in such an environment. Naturally, they did not dare to slack off. They both practiced hard.
Li Mu knew that his troubles were not limited to the dangers in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm. There might also be hostility from the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm. During this period of time, he had heard all kinds of news and rewards that had been secretly circulating among the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm. Naturally, he had his guard up.
Therefore, he had to hurry up and improve his strength.
After cultivating until midnight, Li Mu directly swallowed the Emerald Pill sent by Cyan Fox Deity Bi Yan and refined it with the Xiantian Skill.
The Emerald Pill was an eighth-grade magic pill. According to the young master Cyan Fox, taking it could increase one's natural qi cultivation by a hundred years.
After Li Mu refined the pill, the natural qi in his body was surging, and he advanced to the Peak of the General Realm in one fell swoop.
The night passed quickly.
Li Mu came out of the cave. The golden sun outside sprinkled on the earth. The primitive environment was extremely beautiful.
Under this tranquil beauty, there was endless wild killing intent.
Li Mu was about to go to the White-bone Mountain again. At this time, there was a strange energy fluctuation in the distance in the east.
Then, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the sky.
"That's … the Seven Luminaries Chariot of the Seven Luminaries Divine Dynasty," Ying Yuanyuan said in surprise.
Sure enough, in the eastern sky, there were eight magnificent black horses, galloping in the air. The sound of their hooves shook the Heaven Emperor, making a sound like the sound of Taoism in the void. They were extremely fast, pulling a bronze carriage, running through the void and coming at a great speed.
In the blink of an eye, they came to the valley.
"Haha, Li Yidao, we meet again."
The eight magnificent black horses stopped and turned into eight vivid black pottery. They were connected to the bronze mottled carriage by reins. The man holding the divine bell in the carriage was Duan Shenping, the Seven Luminaries Bell whom Li Mu had met at the banquet in the Divine Temple.
Behind him, there were a few other people.
Li Mu saw the Fan brothers among them.
"Yuanyuan, Biting, you are still alive? That's great. We were worried about you. " When Fan Xiong saw the two women, he was surprised at first, but then he looked overjoyed and secretly winked at the two women.
Duan Shenping drove the chariot and rumbled over. With a complacent look, he said arrogantly, "Li Yidao, someone saw you kill the Heavenly Talents and seize the treasure. What do you say?"
"What?" Ying Yuanyuan hurriedly said, "Who said that? There's no such thing. "
Liao Biting also said, "That's impossible. We have been with Young Master Li all the time. There's no such thing."
"Yuanyuan, Biting, Brother Feng Fei was killed by this man. Don't you know?" Fan Wei winked at Ying Yuanyuan and said, "Did Li Yidao threaten you not to tell the truth? Don't worry. Brother Duan will stand up for us. Come here quickly. "
Duan Shenping, the Seven Luminaries Bell, also glanced at the two women with a covetous look. He thought to himself that the Fan brothers did not lie to him. These two female Heavenly Talents were beautiful.
He looked at Li Mu again and said, "Li Yidao, Fan Xiong, and Fan Wei have accused you of killing Feng Fei in order to fight for the Heaven Fire Vermilion Fruit. Do you dare to admit this?"
Li Mu looked in the direction of the White Bones Mountain and thought about how to find the Heaven Revival Grass. Without looking back, he said, "Get lost."
He did not take Duan Shenping and the others seriously at all.
As for the accusation?
