Qiushui Town.
This was a small town located on the bank of the Luo River. The scenery was good, especially in autumn, when the reeds fluttered and the leaves withered. It was like a fairytale paradise.
Li Mu passed by here.
When he was having dinner in a restaurant in the town, a 13-year-old boy dressed like a beggar stumbled in, glanced around the lobby of the restaurant, and went straight to Li Mu. Without saying a word, he directly knelt down and kowtowed to Li Mu.
"Do you know me?"
Li Mu recalled Li Zhiyuan's memory and found that he did not know this child.
The child was thin and malnourished, but his facial features were quite regular. In his eyes, there was a stubbornness and toughness like a lone wolf.
"I don't know you."
As the child spoke, he kept kowtowing.
Soon, he fell to the ground and started bleeding.
Li Mu frowned slightly.
In Jianghu, there was a saying that monks, Taoists, women, and children should never be underestimated or bullied. Especially in the Fengyun Continent, it was a continent where martial artists ran rampant. There was no kingdom or regime. The turmoil in Wulin was mysterious and treacherous. It had developed to the extreme. Behind many strange things, there was a huge killing intent.
"Then why are you kowtowing?"
Li Mu asked.
"I want you to help me kill a person and save a person." The little boy raised his head, and there was a trace of expectation in his stubborn eyes.
Li Mu couldn't help laughing.
"Why me?" Li Mu asked curiously.
The little boy said, "You are riding a horse with a saber hanging from your waist. You must be from the martial arts world. Moreover, ordinary people from the martial arts world do not have such a good horse or such an expensive saber. Therefore, you are not only from the martial arts world, but also a martial arts expert. Only martial arts experts can help me."
Li Mu was even more curious.
This little guy was a bit interesting.
"The problem is, even if I am a martial arts master, why should I help you?" Li Mu continued to ask.
The little boy was silent for a while, like a wounded wolf, and his tone was full of determination and determination. He said, "I have no money, but I can kowtow. Besides, as long as you help me, I will be your most loyal slave from now on. I am willing to give everything I have and follow you forever."
"You little beggar, why are you here again? Hurry up and get lost. " The manager of the restaurant was an old man in his fifties with white hair and a kind face. He came out from behind the counter and shouted at the waiters, asking them to carry the boy out and throw him at the gate.
Li Mu asked, "Do you know him?"
The restaurant owner smiled and said, "Sir, please don't be offended. Brother A is an orphan in this town. Something happened to his family and he was agitated. That's why this place is a little abnormal." He pointed at his head and said, "A year ago, he bought his family's house and raised enough money to leave town to learn martial arts from a master. In the end, no one accepted him and he was cheated of all his money. After he came back, he sold the last few acres of his family's farmland and wanted to hire a martial arts master to avenge him. In the end, he was cheated of all his money and could only wander around the town every day like a madman. When he saw a martial arts master with a sword, he would go over and kowtow, asking him to avenge him. It's been half a year, and no one has dared to help him."
Hearing that, Li Mu's impression of the young man deepened. He asked, "What on earth happened to his family?"
The old manager said, "Well, it's a long story. The Shen family are all good people. What a pity that they've been ruined …"
At that moment, a cough of the landlady suddenly came from the kitchen.
The old shopkeeper's expression changed, and he quickly said, "My bad, my bad. Sir, you're a foreigner, so you shouldn't meddle in this kind of business. Quickly finish your meal and leave. It hasn't been peaceful around here recently."
After that, he turned around and left without waiting for Li Mu's question.
Li Mu was lost in thought.
After the meal, Li Mu paid the bill and left.
Riding the Red Cloud Beast, Li Mu wandered around the town. At the entrance of the village, he saw a young man who was kowtowing to another group of Jianghu people with swords hanging on their waists.
"What? You want us to kill someone? Haha, no problem. Young man, it's not difficult to kill someone, as long as you can afford it. "The ferocious-looking Jianghu man laughed with his companions and proposed his terms.
"I have no money." The young man's eyes dimmed a little and he kept kowtowing.
"No money? How can we do business without money? " Another triangular-eyed Jianghu man in light leather armor said, "Little beggar, you are making fun of us."
The young man was kicked to the ground and fell with blood all over his face.
"I can pay on credit, I can sell myself, I can promise you anything." He gave up all his dignity and crawled on the ground, begging bitterly.
"Oh? Interesting. Haha, who do you want to kill? "The fat on the ferocious-looking Jianghu man's face was full of cruelty.
The young man said, "The Dragon King, Lu Song, the Grand Master of the Sky Dragon Faction."
"What?" The ferocious-looking Jianghu man's voice suddenly trembled.
The other Jianghu men were also scared and put away the mocking smile on their faces.
The largest faction within hundreds of miles was the Sky Dragon Faction, and Lu Song, the Dragon King, was a veteran master in the Sixth Floor Realm. He was like a devil who killed people like flies. Who dared to provoke him?
"Brat, how dare you make fun of us? You want us to die? "The ferocious-looking Jianghu man showed a trace of ruthlessness on his face.
"You brat, how dare you fight against Senior Lu?" The triangular-eyed Jianghu man smiled darkly and said, "Brother Zheng, we are going to join the Sky Dragon Faction. Why don't we catch this brat as a sign of allegiance?"
"It's so troublesome to bring a living person. Why don't we just chop off his head and bring him there?" Another young man of seventeen or eighteen said with a malicious and vicious face.
The young man was startled and realized something was wrong, so he slowly retreated.
"Haha, you want to escape now?" The young man pulled out the sawtooth knife at his waist and pressed forward coldly.
At this time —
"You want to join the Sky Dragon Faction?"
Li Mu's voice came from the side.
"Who?" The ferocious-looking Jianghu man and the others looked back and saw a handsome young man in white riding a red cloud beast with four burning hooves was already ten meters away. They didn't even notice him before.
"I have a gift, and I want you to help me give it to Gang Leader Lv," Li Mu took out a box from his arms and sent it steadily in the air with his Qi.
The ferocious-looking Jianghu man and the others were shocked when they saw this.
Teleporting in the air was a skill above the Fifth Realm.
"What gift do you have for us?" The triangular-eyed Jianghu man said in a much more polite tone.
Li Mu raised his hand, threw out six gold ingots, and said, "These are the birthday gifts I've painstakingly prepared for Grand Master Lv. Please send them for me."
The gold ingot was very heavy, and its color was also very good. The six of them immediately smiled and said, "Good, we were going to Heavenly Dragon Castle anyway, so we can help you deliver the gift. But we don't know your name, so we can reply to Gang Leader Lu at that time."
Li Mu smiled and said, "Grand Master Lu will know when he sees the gift."
"Young Master is an old friend of Grand Master Lu. Haha, that's great."
The Jianghu men were very excited to get a lot of gold and agreed.
When they left, the young man was already gone.
Li Mu smiled and spurred on the Red Cloud Beast. In a few seconds, he caught up with the fleeing teenager.
The young man's face was covered with blood and he looked at Li Mu with hatred.
Li Mu threw a bottle of medicine to him and said, "Tell me, why do you want to kill Lu Song."
The young man spat and kicked the medicine aside. He stubbornly raised his head and said, "You dog of the Sky Dragon Faction, who asked you to pretend? I can't wait to eat your flesh and drink your blood. “
Li Mu smiled on the back of the red cloud beast and said, "If your reason can convince me, I will consider killing him for you."
The young man was shocked and immediately asked, "Aren't you a friend of that old dog?"
Li Mu said, "That's not something you should think about. You just need to answer my question."
The young man was silent for a moment and his eyes flashed with the determination of a gambler. He said, "The Sky Dragon Faction killed my parents and took my sister away."
Li Mu nodded and said, "I see. The person you want to kill is Lu Song and the person you want to save is your sister. Am I right?"
The young man knelt down and said, "As long as you help me, I am willing to pay any price. Please."
"First, don't kneel down. Second, don't ask for help." Li Mu pointed at the bottle of medicine that was kicked away and said, "Pick it up and apply the medicine on yourself. Then come with me to the Sky Dragon Castle. Do you dare?"
The young man walked over and picked up the bottle without a word.
…
…
"Oh? Someone gave me a birthday gift? "
The old leader of the Sky Dragon Faction, Lu Song, was seventy-three years old this year. In this world where the average lifespan of a warrior was around one hundred and twenty years, he was not considered old. In fact, he could be said to be in his prime. Today was his seventy-third birthday.
Lu Song took the box with a puzzled look and asked, "What kind of person is he? Did he leave his name and background? "
The ferocious-looking Jianghu man smiled obsequiously like a big meat bun that had just been taken out of the cage. He described Li Mu's appearance and said, "He must be a junior who admires Grand Master. Hehe, he said that Grand Master will know who he is when you open the box."
The hall was filled with Jianghu people from all over the world.
"Haha, the old Grand Master is famous. There are always some juniors who come because of his reputation."
"Exactly. Haha, this is the embodiment of the status in Jianghu."
"I really envy the old Grand Master."
"It's definitely a big gift. Haha, just one look at this box and I can tell that it's worth a lot. Gang Leader, quickly open it and let us have a look."
The crowd cheered up the atmosphere.
Lu Song smiled proudly and said, "It's all thanks to the Jianghu people. I don't deserve it. These years, the Sky Dragon Faction has been developing well. Some juniors will come to join us …"
As he said, he opened the box with a click.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the box.
