"This is impossible."
At the headquarters of the Four Seas God Sect, the old Sect Master felt uneasy after receiving the news that Li Zhiyuan had appeared in Xuantian City.
The Four Great Guardian Kings had already secretly gone out to kill Li Zhiyuan, but now he had appeared in the city. The Four Great Guardian Kings, who were supposed to bring his head back to the headquarters, had not received any news. Could it be …
Impossible.
The Four Great Guardian Kings were already supreme experts of Ethereal Enlightenment. There were not many in the entire Northern Wilderness Region who could kill them one-on-one, let alone when the Four Great Guardian Kings worked together. Even ordinary Level Nine cultivators might not be a match for the Four Great Guardian Kings.
Could it be that they did not manage to intercept him head-on and Li Zhiyuan took a detour into the city?
The old Sect Master comforted himself in his heart.
Suddenly, Left Protector Dong Xiaoyu came in to report and said loudly, "Cult Master, someone sent a gilded treasure chest in from outside. He said it's a generous gift for Cult Master and wants Cult Master to personally accept it. He also said that you'll definitely like this gift."
As they spoke, four members of the church carried in a square, gilded treasure chest. The faint golden light from the chest made the entire hall feel warm, and there was an air of nobility that assaulted everyone's nostrils.
One look and one could tell that this treasure chest was of extraordinary value.
The old Sect Master frowned slightly and asked, "Where's the person who sent the gift?"
Dong Xiaoyu explained, "He's already gone. He's a steward under Boss Lu of the Cloud Inn. We're all old acquaintances, so we didn't check it. If there's anything, we can just ask him to come back."
There was a precedent for such a thing.
There were many sects and itinerant cultivators in the Northern Wilderness Region who wanted to befriend the Four Seas God Sect. However, they usually had no one to rely on, so they sent gifts through the stewards of the Cloud Inn more than a hundred times a year.
The old Sect Master's heart lightened slightly. He walked over and removed the seal on the treasure chest. As he slowly opened the treasure chest, he said, "Hmph, the Four Seas God Sect is rich. You want a small treasure chest … Eh?"
At the end of his sentence, he exclaimed.
Inside the treasure chest, there was only a thin layer of fine scarlet velvet cloth. On top of it was a broken sword fragment that was three fingers wide and five fingers long. It flickered with a cold silver light, and the cold aura of the metal blew over.
What is this?
The old sect master didn't react immediately.
On the other hand, Dong Xiaoyu, the Left Protector, was slightly taken aback. He immediately reacted and said, "This … This is a fragment of the Heavenly Sword. It's an Asura Writ!"
"Asura Order?"
The old Sect Master's heart trembled.
During this period of time, Li Zhiyuan, the Asura of the Heavenly Way, had been heading north, killing along the way. He was invincible. It was said that every time he sought revenge, he would first send a fragment of the Heavenly Way Sword to his target as a mark.
For a period of time, wherever the Heavenly Law Sword went, blood flowed like rivers, and corpses piled up like mountains. There was no person or sect that could escape its pursuit.
In the Jianghu, Wen Tiandao's expression changed when he saw the fragments of the Sword of the Heavens.
Thus, some busybodies called the fragment of the Heavenly Dao Sword [Order of Asura], meaning that wherever the fragment went, it was as if Asura's order of massacre had descended, and no one could escape.
During this period of time, the Asura Token's name had shaken the world.
The Old Sect Master had a bad feeling about this.
It was a gift from Li Zhiyuan, the Heavenly Asura.
Could it be …
The old sect master's heart was beating wildly.
"There's another layer below."
The Left Protector, Dong Xiaoyu, raised his hand and lifted the shallow layer that contained the fragment of the Heavenly Dao Sword. An extremely pungent smell of blood instantly rushed out.
"Heads? It's the Purple Smoke King? And the Black Mask King … These are the heads of the Four Great Protectors? Heavens, no, this is impossible. " After Dong Xiaoyu carefully identified it, he immediately felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, unable to believe what he had seen.
The heads of the Four Great Protectors!
The second layer of the treasure chest contained the heads of the Four Great Protectors.
The old Sect Master's face was pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His body swayed, and he almost fell. Such a huge blow was something that the entire Four Seas Divine Sect could not withstand. The Four Great Protectors were second only to the Sect Master. Be it in terms of status or strength, they were above the Left and Right Protectors and the Hall Masters of the various halls.
"Li Zhiyuan …"
He roared out this name as if he was talking in his sleep. The hatred and fear in the old sect master's heart were almost equal. He couldn't believe what had happened to the Four Great Law Protector Kings that caused them to be completely wiped out. They didn't even have a chance to escape.
Could it be that there was some terrifying person or faction behind Li Zhiyuan helping him?
Was it a major faction outside of the Northern Wilderness Region, or …
It could not be the Xuantian Cloud Palace, right? The Four Seas Divine Sect had been growing stronger all these years, and their ultimate goal was to replace the Xuantian Cloud Palace and become the number one Divine Sect in the Northern Wilderness Region. They would become the ones who set the order of the Pugilistic World. Although the Four Seas Divine Sect had been very secretive, it was inevitable that the Xuantian Cloud Palace would notice. Could it be that Li Zhiyuan's misfortune, breakthrough, and rise were all arranged by the Xuantian Cloud Palace?
The old Sect Master thought about many things in an instant.
However, the only thing he did not think about was that Li Zhiyuan had relied on his own cultivation and strength to kill the Four Great Protectors.
"Sect Master …" Left Protector Dong Xiaoyu opened his mouth with difficulty, but he did not know what to say.
The old Sect Master looked at him and gradually calmed down in the shortest time possible before attacking.
A cold light flashed in the air.
The four disciples who had carried the treasure chest in silently clutched their throats and fell to the ground. They had been killed to silence them.
"This matter must be kept strictly confidential.
It must not be known by anyone other than you and me. " The old Sect Master looked at the terrified Left Protector and said, "Pass down the order. Tell them that the Four Great Protectors have gone out to carry out a secret operation. From today onwards, all matters are to be reported to the Left and Right Protectors."
"Yes." Left Protector Dong Xiaoyu heaved a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that the old Sect Master would attack and silence him.
Although the old Sect Master's ambitions had gradually declined and he rarely attacked, he was like an old lion. He had lost his killing intent and sharpness from before, but his strength had become more and more terrifying. If he were to launch an attack, he would definitely not be able to withstand a thunderous strike.
"Also, send someone to deliver a letter to the Young Sect Master. Ask him to come out of seclusion as soon as possible and bring him back. Tell him that things have changed. There's no more time for him to cultivate his divine technique."
The old Sect Master continued.
Dong Xiaoyu's heart trembled.
Has the Young Sect Master returned?
Over the years, the real decision-maker of the Four Seas God Sect was actually this peerlessly talented Young Sect Master. It was rumored that a year ago, the Young Sect Master's cultivation had already surpassed the old Sect Master's. Moreover, because of his outstanding talent, he had won the favor of the people in that place.
If the Young Sect Master were to return, then all the waves would be easily resolved.
…
…
"Thank you, Steward Wei, for making this trip for me."
In the best room of the Four Seas God Sect, Li Mu thanked the middle-aged steward Wei, who had just returned from delivering the treasure chest to the Four Seas God Sect.
As the largest and most high-end restaurant in the Sacred City, the Cloud Inn, especially for the distinguished guests in the First Room, could be said to be meticulous. They were extremely enthusiastic and enthusiastic, and they would grant all their requests.
"Young Master Li, you're too polite. I'm just a full-time steward of the First Room. If you have anything, you can tell me."
Steward Wei said respectfully.
"I do have one more thing to trouble you with," Li Mu said with a smile. "Steward Wei, you've lived in the Sacred City for a long time, haven't you? “
Steward Wei said with a smile, "I'm a native of the Sacred City. I've lived here since I was a child. I know people from all walks of life, and I have some connections in all aspects. Young Master, if you need anything, please feel free to tell me."
Li Mu said, "Okay. Steward Wei, you're a straightforward man. Thank you in advance. I'm looking for a girl from Qiushui Town named Shen Xiaoyue. About a year ago, she drifted to the Sacred City."
As he spoke, he called Shen Jia over and asked him to describe Shen Xiaoyue's appearance and figure in detail.
"I'll give you a reply in three days, Young Master," said Steward Wei.
Li Mu handed a bag of treasures to Steward Wei and said, "This is the deposit for helping me. If I can find Miss Shen, I'll definitely give you more generous gifts. I owe Steward Wei a favor."
Steward Wei did not refuse. He took the bag of treasures and said with a smile, "Getting a favor from the famous Young Master Li Zhiyuan, the Heavenly Way Asura, is definitely an opportunity that even mountains of gold and silver can't buy. I'll take my leave now."
When Steward Wei went out of the room, Shen Jia respectfully bowed to Li Mu and said with great gratitude, "Thank you, Young Master."
Li Mu said, "I hope I can find your sister."
In the vast Sacred City of Martial Arts, it was easy to find a person only by name and appearance. Big. It was difficult to find a needle in a haystack, even for the most powerful man. So whether he could find Shen Xiaoyue or not depended entirely on his luck.
Moreover, this kind of luck was based on the fact that Shen Xiaoyue really came to the Sacred City and never left.
It was extremely difficult!
In the next few days, Li Mu was not in a hurry to go to the Four Seas Divine Sect for revenge. Instead, he wandered around Xuantian City leisurely. He was extremely relaxed, sweeping up goods and buying things like a nouveau riche.
He rode the fiercest horse, drank the spiciest wine, practiced the best martial arts, killed the strongest enemies, ate the best food, and slept with the most beautiful women.
That was the ultimate goal that every Jianghu man dreamed of.
What Li Mu needed to do now was to achieve everything except the last one.
He did not hide his identity and whereabouts.
Because he believed that the Four Seas Divine Sect must be watching him closely in secret.
In this way, under the pressure of the Four Seas Divine Sect, he wanted the Four Seas Divine Sect to summon all the forces they could gather, the people they could invite, and the network they could use, so that the strongest power and the deepest potential of the Four Seas Divine Sect could be exerted.
Then, Li Mu would use the most destructive way to achieve the most hearty revenge and completely remove the Four Seas Divine Sect from the world once and for all.
That was the real revenge for Li Zhiyuan, the leader of the Tiandao Sect, and the disciples who died.
On the third day.
Night fell.
Shen Jia paced back and forth in the wing room outside the suite anxiously, waiting for the final news. He could not settle down to practice martial arts at all.
Knock, knock, knock!
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Li Mu said.
Steward Wei knocked on the door and came in. He saluted and reported with a smile, "Young Master, I didn't fail you. I just received the news that someone found Miss Shen in the Apricot Blossom Lane on Xuanwu Street."
