Li Mu had once heard from Li Qing that there was a Dao Bell on the main peak of Mount Baiyun.
This Dao Bell was an important treasure of Fu-lu School. It had been there since the founding of Fu-lu School. Whenever a new Dao technique was created, it would draw upon the power of Heaven and Earth. No matter how far away it was, the Dao Bell could sense it.
He learned from Li Qing that more than half a year ago, when Li Mu courted death by experimenting with Dao techniques in Yangqiu County, the Dao Bell rang incessantly on the main peak of Mount Baiyun.
Now, it had cracked.
Li Mu's Dao Bell had cracked as well.
The value of Fu-lu School's Dao Bell was immeasurable. Even if Li Mu was sold, he would not be able to afford it. He did not know if the imperial court would take responsibility.
After all, Li Mu had not intentionally damaged it. He had done it for the sake of the tens of thousands of people in the county capital. If Mount Baiyun was a little reasonable, it would not make him pay. If the imperial court had a shred of morality, it would not make a hero bleed and spend money.
How powerful was Fu-lu School? They could hide for a while, but not forever. Li Mu turned around and walked two steps before turning back.
County Governor Lin saw Li Mu walk in and said to the woman, "The destruction of your Dao Bell was caused by the power of Heaven and Earth. You can't blame anyone else, right?"
The woman said, "County Governor, you misunderstand. This humble Daoist did not descend the mountain to pursue the matter. This humble Daoist was ordered by the Sect Master to understand the whole story."
Hearing that he did not need to pay for the Dao Bell, Li Mu heaved a sigh of relief.
"I see." County Governor Lin smiled and pointed at Li Mu. He said to the woman, "Since Daoist Yuzhen wants to understand the whole story of yesterday's matter, you should ask Li Mu directly."
The woman turned around and said in surprise, "It's you?"
Li Mu bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior Yuzhen."
Yuzhen counted with his fingers and said in surprise, "So you are that nameless hero."
Li Mu said in shame, "I dare not, I dare not …"
Yuzhen asked, "Was it you who broke the Eighteen Nether Prison Great Array?"
Li Mu cleared his throat and repeated what he said last night.
Yuzhen thought for a moment and said, "This poor Daoist remembers now. Last time, the one who pointed at the sky and cursed and taught a peerless evil spirit that slaughtered a county magistrate's entire family was also you, right?"
Li Mu: "This junior is ashamed."
"You don't have to feel ashamed." Yuzhen Zi looked at him a few more times and said, "Since ancient times, there have been many people who have cursed the heavens and complained about the earth. However, you are the first one who has cursed the heavens to this extent."
Li Mu was slightly delighted. It seemed that this Daoist Yuzhen Zi was quite easy to fool.
However, in the next moment, the woman's tone changed. She said, "Although the Heavenly Dao has a spirit, other than being activated by Daoist techniques, even if a cultivator points at the sky and curses, they rarely receive a response, let alone activating the power of the world that can destroy the Eighteen Yin Prison Formation."
County Governor Lin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Daoist Yuzhen Zi, do you not believe me?"
Yuzhen Zi said, "Unless he proves it again, it will be very difficult for others to believe."
If he could prove it in front of Yuzhen Zi and County Governor Lin, then no one would doubt the matter of him breaking Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon's formation.
Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "Proving it is not difficult. However, without the obstruction of the Eighteen Yin Prison Great Array, this junior cannot bear the backlash of the power of the world alone."
Yuzhen Zi said, "You can prove it to me. I will protect you."
She threw out a bronze bell. The bronze bell spun a few times and turned into a giant bell. It floated above Li Mu's head and emitted a faint golden light that enveloped Li Mu.
Li Mu looked up. This giant bell gave him a sense of security that was not inferior to Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon's great array. This woman in palatial attire was most likely a Dongxuan expert of F Lu School.
County Governor Lin took a step forward and said, "Daoist Yuzhen Zi is the head of Baiyun Peak. His cultivation has already reached the peak of Dongxuan. If it is convenient for you to prove it, feel free to give it a try. If it is not convenient, I believe Daoist Yuzhen Zi will not make things difficult for a junior like you …"
Baiyun Peak was the first lineage of F Lu School. Li Mu had guessed that this woman in palatial attire was very strong. However, he did not expect her to be an expert on the same level as Venerable Thousand Illusions.
Yuzhen Zi looked at Li Mu and said, "This bell is a heaven-ranked magic treasure. It can withstand a strike from a Transcendent expert. You can be at ease."
This was a chance for him to dispel everyone's suspicions. Li Mu naturally would not let it go so easily.
He thought for a moment. He formed a seal with one hand in his sleeve and pointed to the sky with the other. He said loudly, "Earth, you do not distinguish good from bad. What is earth? Heaven, you are wrong to judge the virtuous and foolish to be the heaven … "
At the same time, he used a forbidden technique in his heart to recite, "The Dao can be the Dao, but it is not the eternal Dao."
Buzz …
Just as he finished speaking, the sound of a bell rang in Li Mu's ears. The loud sound of the bell caused his scalp to go numb. A not very strong energy surged into his body. Li Mu's injuries hadn't healed yet, so he coughed up another mouthful of blood.
He wiped the corner of his mouth and looked at Yuzhen Zi with a bitter expression. What happened to being at ease?
Yuzhen Zi was also stunned. She looked at the deep crack on the giant bell and a pained expression appeared on her face. However, she quickly came to her senses and put away the giant bell. She walked forward and held Li Mu's wrist.
Li Mu felt a gentle force surging into his body. The injuries in his body rapidly improved under this force and soon, he was completely healed.
He was still worried that she would be angry if her bell was broken. Now, it seemed that this Daoist Yuzhen Zi was a reasonable person.
Yuzhen Zi let go of his hand and said in shock, "How can this be? Why can you trigger such a powerful force of heaven and earth? This should not be …"
Li Mu shrugged and said, "I don't know either. Could this be the blessing of the heavens?"
Yuzhen Zi looked at him with a strange expression. Pure Yang, Pure Yin, Five Elements Physique, Innate Spirit Eyes, and the ability to control fire and water. This was the true blessing of the heavens. People with these physiques were born with extraordinary cultivation talent. When they cultivated, they would achieve twice the results with half the effort.
As long as one pointed to the sky and cursed, it would attract such a powerful force of heaven and earth. What kind of blessing was this?
This was not the blessing of the heavens, but the wrath of the heavens.
No one would hope to receive such a blessing.
However, this seemingly useless ability had saved tens of thousands of people in the Northern County.
Such a powerful force of heaven and earth could directly destroy the Eighteen Yin Prison Array from the outside and interrupt the ghost cultivator's sacrifice. Otherwise, even if there were cultivators from Dongxuan present, they would not be able to change the outcome of tens of thousands of people being sacrificed.
In the unseen world, everything seemed to be destined.
County Chief Lin did not believe it at first, but when he saw this scene, he was stunned on the spot for a long time. He muttered, "Could it be that he was targeted by the heavens because he cursed the heavens?"
"This doesn't make sense …" Yuzhen Zi was puzzled. "The same Dao technique was used by the evil spirit with incomparable power. As the creator, he was punished by the heavens. Could it be that he is the person punished by the heavens? The physique of the heavens …"
Li Mu looked indifferent. As long as this matter could be resolved, he would accept that he was the person punished by the heavens.
Yuzhen Zi and County Chief Lin were puzzled, but Li Mu was depressed.
There were countless experts in the F Lu School and so many experts in the imperial court. However, be it Venerable Master Thousand Illusions' plan or Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon's plot, they were all resolved by him, a mere cultivator in the Lower Three Realms …
What made him most unhappy was that after resolving these matters, he still needed to come up with a reasonable explanation and prove to everyone …
Liu Hanyan walked in from outside and looked at Li Mu. She said unhappily, "Your body hasn't recovered yet, why are you out again …"
Yuzhen Zi and the county chief only cared about how he broke Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon's array. Only Liu Hanyan cared about his body. Li Mu held her hand and said, "Let's go home."
Liu Hanyan was held by Li Mu. When they were about to walk out of the county office, she turned back to look at Yuzhen Zi.
Yuzhen Zi also turned his head and looked at Liu Hanyan with a puzzled gaze.
"Wait." Yuzhen Zi suddenly spoke.
Li Mu stopped and asked, "Senior, is there anything else?"
Yuzhen Zi walked forward and sized up Liu Hanyan. Liu Hanyan also sized up Yuzhen Zi.
The woman in palatial attire in front of her gave her a very amiable feeling.
Yuzhen Zi seemed to realize something as a hint of joy appeared on his face. He asked, "You have a pure Yin body?"
