Someone noticed a huge pit on the street that had been corroded by poison. The strange stench caused the martial artists to be on guard, and they did not get too close to it. When they connected this with the strange fog that made them feel like ghosts had gone into a wall, they felt that there was something strange about it.
But no one found Li Mu.
Although he was standing in the middle of the street and many people passed by him, they couldn't see him.
"The Ghost Hiding Technique is indeed a marvelous hiding technique. As long as I don't make a move, no one can find me. That person's cultivation is in the Ninth Realm, so he can't fully use this combat technique, so he has to rely on the black fish scale armor on his body to completely blend into the void. But with my current strength, I don't need to wear this perverted armor at all."
Li Mu was quite satisfied with the Spirit Concealment Technique.
In the end, he secretly buried the huge hole that was corroded with sand to avoid hurting others, then he turned and left.
"This person is definitely from the Xuantian Cloud Palace. I found some tokens of the Xuantian Cloud Palace on him. Hehe, this so-called holy clan that rules the Northern Wilderness Region is just so-so."
Li Mu rubbed his head as he walked.
"Right, I still haven't figured out why the street was suddenly empty and I couldn't see the end. How did it happen? Could it be that the people in this world also know about illusory arrays? But I didn't feel any ripples from the arrays. It seems that the Xuantian Cloud Palace is a bit different from ordinary martial arts sects. "
Li Mu thought to himself and unknowingly arrived at the Cloud Inn.
As soon as he stepped into the inn, he saw Steward Wei coming down the stairs with several guests. Li Mu keenly noticed that the moment Steward Wei saw him, his face suddenly turned snow-white.
"Young … Young Master, you're back." Steward Wei bowed his head and greeted.
Li Mu felt strange and nodded back. Then, he walked towards his room with other things on his mind.
When he opened the door and walked in, he realized something was wrong.
"Who are you? How dare you barge into my room? Get out. " A middle-aged man who looked like a businessman with a beard walked out from the room, his clothes not covering his body, and spoke harshly.
He could vaguely hear the rustling sounds of a woman hurrying to put on her clothes.
"Your room?"
Li Mu frowned, took a step back, and stood at the door to take a closer look.
That's right, this is the room A1 that I stayed in a few days ago.
How did it suddenly become someone else's room?
"Someone, someone, quickly capture this madman. I want to dig out this bastard's eyeballs …" The middle-aged rich businessman roared as he chased after him.
His guards were also experts. With a swoosh, they arrived at the scene as soon as possible, but they could not find any trace of Li Mu.
Li Mu came to the lobby of the inn.
After looking around the counter, Li Mu found that Steward Wei was nowhere to be found. Thinking of the change in Steward Wei's expression when they met, Li Mu somewhat understood something.
After a round of questioning, the steward on duty in the lobby did not dare to lie to Li Mu. He told Li Mu intermittently about how Steward Wei led his men to beat Shen Jia out.
"Your boss expelled Xiao Jia and his brother by force?" Li Mu had a feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed. He pondered for a moment, then gently knocked on the cabinet with his finger and said, "Tell him that he'd better give me a reasonable explanation."
The steward on duty was so scared that his legs turned to jelly.
But Li Mu did not take action against a small potato like him. He turned around and left to look for Shen Jia first.
After half an hour, Li Mu met Shen Jia, who was badly battered but not seriously injured, at the end of the alley not far from the Cloud Inn.
"Master, you're finally back."
When Shen Jia saw Li Mu, he showed a look of excitement and shame on his face. Then, he told Li Mu in detail what happened in the inn.
"I don't know where my sister was taken. Steward Wei fell out with me and forbade me to stay in the inn. I dared not wait for you in the inn, nor did I dare to be too far away from the guest station, in case you couldn't find me when you came back." He lowered his head and dared not to look at Li Mu.
Li Mu said, "You've done a good job."
This was a very calm young man. He did not lose his sense of propriety because he was anxious. Instead, he suppressed his worry for his sister and rationally waited for Li Mu to come back. Then, he explained everything to Li Mu as soon as possible so that Li Mu would not be at a loss.
"Master, what should we do?" Shen Jia looked up, his eyes full of admiration and confidence.
Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the House of Red Sleeves."
At that time, the House of Red Sleeves and the Tender Flower Palace behind it wanted to get Shen Xiaoyue at all costs. Li Mu did not investigate the reason behind it, but he was 100% sure that they had a motive.
In fact, Steward Wei of the Cloud Inn must know the inside story, but unfortunately, he reacted very quickly and slipped away in advance. Li Mu did not know where he was hiding. In this world, Taoist magic arts could not be used. It was not as easy to find people in the vast crowd as it was in the previous life. It would waste a lot of time. In order to save time, Li Mu had to start from the most suspicious House of Red Sleeves.
…
In the House of Red Sleeves in the Apricot Blossom Alley.
"What? Miss Yao Yue is missing? "Mrs. Gao looked at Li Mu and Shen Jia in great shock and said," How is it possible? Hasn't she always been with you, Young Master Li? Who would be able to snatch her away from you, young master? "
From the shocked expression on her face, Li Mu could not see any pretense.
But Li Mu was not in the mood to judge whether Mrs. Gao really knew or not.
Now that Shen Xiaoyue's life was at stake, he had to race against time. So, no matter what kind of conspiracy was behind it, Li Mu could only use the seemingly unreasonable way to solve the problem.
Whether it was the House of Red Sleeves or not, one thing was for sure, as the old sects in the Sacred City, the House of Red Sleeves and the Tender Flower Palace definitely had more information channels than Li Mu. They must have smelled something.
Li Mu said in a domineering and unnegotiable tone, "I will only give you one chance. Give Miss Yao Yue to me in two hours, or I will wash the Tender Flower Palace with blood."
"This … this has nothing to do with us. We don't know where Miss Yao Yue is. Young Master Li, how could you …" Mrs. Gao looked horrified and wronged.
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "If you don't know, then ask the Palace Master of the Tender Flower Palace to come out and explain in person."
"Well …" Mrs. Gao looked at Li Mu's impatient face and did not dare to say another word.
At that time, the news that Li Mu had destroyed the Four Seas Divine Sect, killed hundreds of experts, defeated the sword slave, and killed Xiao Zhan, the Wild Lion, had already spread wildly throughout the Holy City. Since the House of Red Sleeves was the most well-informed, Mrs. Gao had long received the news.
Li Zhiyuan, the Heavenly Asura, had become the fiercest man in the Northern Wilderness Region. Even in the entire Fengyun Continent, he was probably one of the most powerful people. The Tender Flower Palace was not as powerful as the Four Seas Sect, so how could they dare to provoke Li Zhiyuan?
Mrs. Gao sent the news back in fear.
In the Tender Flower Palace.
The beautiful Palace Master who received the report was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly exploded. She was so angry that she threw a few of her favorite ornaments.
For the first time in her life, she felt that in front of an extremely powerful person, the power that she had built for years, her beauty, and the cultivation that she was so proud of were all powerless and could not withstand a single blow.
"Li Zhiyuan, how dare you force me like this … One day, I will make you kneel in front of me like those lowly men, wagging your tail, begging for mercy, and being my dog."
Palace Mistress Qing Hua, who had never been threatened like this before, trembled in anger and fell into a great rage. However, in the end, under the persuasion of the military advisor, Wei Youya, she finally swallowed her anger and gave in. After thinking for a long time, she ordered someone to send a message back to the House of Red Sleeves.
In the House of Red Sleeves, Mrs. Gao read the message and came to Li Mu anxiously.
"Black Tianyun Palace? Are you sure it was the Black Tianyun Palace who kidnapped Little Yue? " Li Mu listened to Mrs. Gao skeptically, then frowned and said, "You know very well what kind of price you have to pay for misleading me."
Mrs. Gao said anxiously, "The message from the Palace Master can't be wrong. Moreover, with Young Master's current power, the Tender Flower Palace would definitely not dare to deceive Young Master Li."
Li Mu thought about it and nodded. "Alright, I was already prepared to go to the Black Tianyun Palace anyway. There's no time like the present. Little Jia, let's go."
After watching Li Mu and Li Mu leave, Mrs. Gao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Until today, she had seen Li Zhiyuan twice.
The feeling she had when she saw Li Zhiyuan these two times was completely different.
The first time, even though Li Zhiyuan had taken Shen Xiaoyue away with his tyrannical strength, caused the House of Red Sleeves to suffer heavy losses, and even scared away the Palace Mistress of Mercy Flower who had rushed over, Mother Gao only felt that Li Zhiyuan was very strong. She did not think that Li Zhiyuan was much of a threat. But now, when Li Zhiyuan came with the power of slaughtering the Four Seas Divine Sect, Mother Gao faced Li Zhiyuan as if she was facing a high and mighty god who could not be looked up to.
Perhaps, this was the power.
Li Zhiyuan's power was established.
…
…
The young Shen Jia was a little uneasy.
When he and Li Mu appeared in front of the gates of the Black Tianyun Palace, the uneasiness reached its peak.
In the Northern Wilderness Region, the martial artists might not know about the Tender Flower Palace, the Four Seas Divine Sect, or even the sun and moon, but there was absolutely no one who did not know about the Black Tianyun Palace.
This was because these four words represented the supreme authority of martial arts in the Northern Wilderness Region. They represented the undefeatable order of martial arts, represented invincible martial arts strength, and represented an almost immortal invincible spirit.
Shen Jia was full of confidence in Li Mu.
However, this confidence began to waver when he raised his head and looked at the towering palaces in front of him.
After all, this was the Black Tianyun Palace.
The Black Tianyun Palace had been ruling the Northern Wilderness Region for thousands of years, unshakable and unshakable. No matter how mysterious the situation was, how turbulent the Pugilistic World was, or how talented the geniuses were, in the end, the ruler of this land was still the Black Tianyun Palace.
In the hearts of almost every martial artist in the Northern Wilderness Region, the Black Tianyun Palace was synonymous with order, invincible, powerful, mysterious, and undefeatable.
"If my sister is really captured by the Black Tianyun Palace, then … should I just accept my fate?" For the first time, Shen Jia had the thought of giving up.
He missed and cared about his sister, and was willing to give up everything for her. However, he could not put his master in danger because of his own personal feelings, and push his master into an irreversible situation where he would become the enemy of the Black Tianyun Palace.
Just as Shen Jia was about to say something, Li Mu had already arrived at the gates of the Black Tianyun Palace. He raised his leg and kicked the tightly shut gates open.
"Li Zhiyuan of the Tiandao Sect is here to pay a visit."
Li Mu's voice was like the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder. It reverberated throughout the entire Black Tianyun Holy City.
He did not act courteously or in a friendly manner.
