Li Mu's eyes reflected a trace of surprise.
That voice seemed to have come from all directions and resounded clearly around their ears.
"Uh-Oh! Never knew there is an interesting ant in Taibai County. You are Li Mu? Haha, interesting! How come your corporeal body is so strong!"
The voice sounded again. But the source of the voice was moving swiftly, rendering it impossible to locate the whereabouts of the speaker.
Everyone suddenly felt the sky was getting darker.
It turned out that wisps of black mist had quietly crept in. Like dark clouds, they gathered over the county government and overshadowed the sun.
"Humph."
Li Mu snorted, who was still very calm.
"There you are, another fool trying to be spooky." Li Mu mocked inwardly, certainly not scared at all.
"Take them to the back room first." He told the doctor and those prison guards.
The doctor
"Magical... magical power?" Zheng Cunjian stammered in disbelief. He was as appalled as he had just seen a ghost in broad daylight. "What on earth is happening?" "This slow-witted and unscrupulous magistrate of Taibai County also has magical power?" "He is a warlock?" The scholar could not believe what he just saw. "Ah... Damn it, you dare to... Aaah!" Painful shrieks came out from the net of the lightning sparks. The figure wrapped in the black fire was flailing about violently. Li Mu flicked his wrist. At once, the purple net of lighnting sparks cracked and squelched, as if it was whipping something around. A moment later, a person was revealed behind the net. It was a long-faced man in his 30s. He was wearing a long black robe. His black hair more than one meter long was hanging down loosely. Twisting and screeching, he was being lashed by fl
Shortly, all the culprits were executed. Li Mu let out a sigh of relief and threw aside the broadsword he was holding. On that day when he was infuriated and massacred the Shennong Faction, numerous disciples of that faction were directly killed by him, and many were smashed by the crumbled rocks. At that time, Li Mu was too enraged after he saw the mother and daughter filing the suit were both murdered in the Shennong Faction, so he let his fury take the best of him and soon lost self-control in all the fighting and killing. When he calmed down later, he also did some serious self-reflection. He told himself that men were not pigs in the slaughter house. Everyone's life was precious, and no one could live twice. Therefore, since that battle, Li Mu had seldom gone for the kill. In most cases, he drew the line at justified punishment. However, today, he lost control of himself again. But
"Now that you already believe I'm the killer and are determined to denounce me, save your breath. I won't explain anything to you, nor do I want to. Just show me what you've got." Li Mu was losing his patience, unwilling to waste his time on a bunch of idiots from the Taibai Sword Faction. "You..." Stammered Zhao Ling, who was at a loss for words. "How audacious you are... You should bring a rod on your back and go to our Taibai Sword Faction to ask for punishment!" A male disciple hollered. The other disciples immediately murmured their agreement to that proposal. "Li Mu, you killed Lu Yun and the other three disciples but are still faking your innocence. You're a butcher, a killer!" Zhou Zhenhai, who had been hiding behind the disciples of the Taibai Sword Faction during the whole time, finally could not bear his irritation and jumped out to stir up the trouble. "Who are you?" Asked Li Mu. He cast
The figure that swooped in was exactly Wei Chong, one of the twelve elders of the Qing Sha Clan. "You rat, you made it back alive! Look at you, fully recovered?" Teased Wei Chong. He cocked his brow, causing the hideous scar on his forehead to crease. This uninvited guest seemed to have taken no notice of the other people in the yard. All his focus was on Li Mu. The moment he landed on the scene, he started to measure Li Mu up with a surprised look. No one knew it better than Wei Chong that how severely injured Li Mu was after he had been hunted for a whole day, because it was Wei Chong himself who almost hammered Li Mu to minced meat. Therefore, half an hour ago when he learned from a spy of the Qing Sha Clan that Li Mu had returned to the county government, he wasted no time to bustle over here in case Li Mu slipped away again. He thought Li Mu, who had been maimed like that, could never become normal again. In
Lying on the ground, Wei Chong's limbs were twitching uncontrollably. Trying to catch his breath, he already had no strength to speak. If he hadn't demonstrated his strength at the peak of Zongshi Master Realm before, no one in the yard would have believed the underdog being dragged by Li Mu was him, a top-of-the-range martial arts expert. At that moment, everyone was speechless. The young disciples of the Taibai faction just stood there with their eyes so wide as if they could fall out of their eye sockets at any moment. The result of that battle was unbelievable. The man they perceived as a vile character, an insidious schemer, and an arrogant idiot, had just displayed a power that was beyond their wildest dream. Facing his head-on attack, the super powerful expert at the peak of the Zongshi Master Realm collapsed at the first strike. That blew their mind off. "Why did it turn out like this?"
"You?" doubted Li Mu. He studied this pretty girl. She did seem couragous and upright. "Younger Sister Zhao, no need to beg for his mercy. If you die, we'll die with you," The young disciple who had always taken her side held his chin up and declared, "If worse come to worst, we will fight for our lives together." "Right. We're a team. We came in here together, and we shall take off together as well," another disciple shouted. "Yes. We're disciples of the Taibai Sword Faction. Threats don't work on us." The rest of the disciples of the Taibai Sword Faction echoed with indignation. At this sight, Li Mu was a little impressed by those unsophisticated swordsmen of the Taibai Sword Faction. Although all of those juniors were ignorant and thoughtless, they, at least, were not a bunch of cowards. Now that they could still be tough and fearless in such a dire circumstance, Li Mu
Seeing all the members of the Taibai Sword Faction retreat unscathed, eyes of the rest of the experts grew green with envy. However, without Li Mu's explicit approval, none of them dared to head off to the gate. Actually, they even did not dare to move at all. Because those who tried to escape but got hit by the arrows had served as a prior warning. Up to now, they were still on the ground moaning in pain. As Li Mu's eyes swept through the throng of experts, even the most experienced cultivators felt their hearts pounding. After all, all men were afraid of dying. "Erm... I'm sorry. I kept you guys waiting for so long. May I ask what are you here for?" asked Li Mu. He sounded polite and sincere. That question, however, almost put the experts in tears. "Yeah, why did we come to the county government?" "How come we are here?" "If we just stayed at
In the back yard of the county government... "There is no hope for his legs," sighed Zhao Ling. By that time, Qing Feng already fell into sleep. After taking a thorough examination of the little attendant, the young and attractive pharmacist came to that dismal conclusion. Li Mu quickly turned to look at the doctor from the Medical Center who was known as the savior. When Zhao Ling was checking on Qing Feng's injuries, that doctor was standing aside observing the process, exchanging some words with her at intervals. Catching Li Mu's quizzical gaze, the doctor gave a bitter smile and said, "Your Honor, I'm so sorry. In fact, the injuries of the boy are more grave than I assumed at first. His legs have already swollen up and started to decay. This Doctor Zhao's medical skills are much better than mine. I think I'm with what she said." Li Mu nodded grimly. Obviously, he found
Li Mu's cultivation nowadays was at the peak of the Golden Immortal, and his battle power could cut down the first generals.If one were to obtain a drop of Immortal Marrow, one could instantly leap into the peak of Immortal Generals, and at that time, even if one were to face an Immortal King, one would be able to defeat him in battle, not to mention traversing across the major state capitals, even if it was the entire Eastern Sacred Continent, the heavens and the earth were vast, and one could go to it.At that time, it would be like a fish out of water to find Wang Shiyu, Hua Wanyong, and the others.At that thought, Li Mu immediately became desirous of this Immortal Marrow."One drop of Immortal Marrow, one great realm, so if a bottle of Immortal Marrow were all swallowed, wouldn't it directly soar into the Immortal Emperor, Immortal Emperor or even Immortal Lord realm?" Li Mu said.Xia Jing was stunned and then giggled."I didn't expect that
Uh-huh?What a scene of déjà vu.Li Mu all of a sudden, remembered the legendary Liu Huangshu Baidicheng entrusted the orphan.It's a pity that the Emperor is not Uncle Liu.And Li Mu is not Zhuge Kongming.Li Mu said indifferently, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I can make a dao oath that I won't taint the imperial power of Huangji Cliff for the rest of my life.""Cough cough cough ......" the emperor coughed, hastily said: "I ...... am not using words to frame you, I... ...In the chaotic world, there is no strength, sooner or later ...... sooner or later is the death ...... of the disaster ...... wood brother you if you are the emperor, or you may be able to ...... preserve a trace of my bloodline, I ......"Li Mu said, "Your Majesty's meaning, I understand, but my words remain the same, I will never dye the royal fist, Emperor Chen will be a bright ruler."The emperor sighed and said, "I understand ...... all ...... all stand down ....
Reimu smiled.Snap your fingers.Phew.A golden stream of light flashed by.Emperor Zhen, who was roaring at the top of his lungs, his voice came to an abrupt end, and his hands covered his neck, a splash of blood seeped out, followed by golden flames, which spewed out from his body."You ...... you dare to kill me?"He looked at Li Mu incredulously and eventually turned into a puff of flying ash.In the great hall, there was an instant dead silence.The horrific images, although they had ended, the aftermath was still like a hurricane, still madly hitting everyone's nerves over and over again.Prince Wood actually went out and killed someone?He actually made a move?Killing a royal son with royal blood flowing in his body right here in this great hall?He dared.He really dared.All the ministers felt that their bodies were cold, as if they had fallen into an ice cave, like the cold winter of the t
The other ministers in the hall, hearing such words, could not help but look at Zheng Yuan with shocked gazes.The so-called Emperor Tatsu's son is a wild seed, this kind of thing, if you don't explode it sooner or later, and you don't explode it at this time, what is the intention?Besides, it's not certain whether it's true or not.Saying such words in such an important meeting of the court was tantamount to slapping the emperor's face in public and rubbing the emperor's majesty, on the ground.What a nerve.On one side, Servant Yin's face changed wildly as she shook her head and argued, "No, it's not like that, Chen'er is His Majesty's child ...... "When the Emperor intended to set up Emperor Chen as the Crown Prince just now, she vaguely realized that this was a dangerous signal, the treacherous darkness of the palace court was not something she could resist as a small servant girl.But I didn't expect the slander and danger to come so
"Tatsu-chan!"Servant Yin was filled with a huge surprise in her chest and subconsciously rushed over to the little boy and held him in her arms."Mother, you're here too ...... Mother, I've seen father."The little boy dug into Squire Yin's arms with delight.His first words had to do with his parents.But many snickers resounded clearly and audibly in the great hall.Although no one said anything, the meaning was clear: 'Father' is a word you call, too?Servant Yin, however, didn't pay that much attention.In the instant she saw her son, her heart, without the slightest bit of nervousness or panic, held her son firmly in her arms, and the only thought in her entire life and soul at that moment was to protect her son at all costs."Do not make a noise and stand aside."The Grand Eunuch opened his mouth to chide.The little boy then kept his mouth tightly shut.He was foolish and hadn't seen much of the world, b
A cold aura flickered.A sword to the death.The sharp sword was about to pierce the young maid's brow.Just then, a sudden change occurred.Suddenly space and time seemed to freeze, and the black-clothed assassin realized that his immortal sword, after all, was no longer able to progress the slightest bit.What's going on?He was alarmed in his mind.And yet the next moment--Ding!The sword body incredibly broke apart and turned into countless shards.The tip of the sword flew backward and penetrated the black-clothed assassin's throat.Before the blood could soar out, his body erupted into a ball of golden flames, which then turned into flying ash and dissipated into the air.The little maid looked at what was in front of her in shock.In that moment just now, she thought she was bound to die.It turned out to be the assassin who died.Who saved me?She gasped in horror and looked arou
The Emperor was sitting on the throne of the Nine to Five, a little tired.The fact that he was poisoned was not revealed to the public.So until now, no one has known.But the toxin was eating away at his body so frantically that his energy was declining so much that his entire body felt extremely tired at all times.The sound of ministers' ears arguing seemed near and far away in the ear.The hand-wringing Prince Tatsu was led by the great eunuch and stood on the side of the dragon chair.Eight or nine year old boy, for the first time out of that small compound, face full of fear, timid, like a small goat caught in a wolf pack, not knowing what to do, lowered his head, twisted the corner of his coat, did not even dare to come out of the atmosphere.This look, in the eyes of the ministers, is even more unbearable."Your Majesty's intention to establish a Crown Prince is a major event, and should not be done in haste, perhaps it should
The little boy did not return until late afternoon.The young maid tried to inquire about the news several times, but was mercilessly stopped by the palace's close guards guarding the entrance of the firewood courtyard.She had been until, herself, she was secluded.This alarmed the young maid even more.What the hell is going on?What kind of terrible things would Tatsu'er face if he went to the palace?The Empress and the Noble Consorts, they won't poison him, will they?Why did His Majesty suddenly summon Chen'er to the palace?She speculated in her mind in fear, her tears were like a fountain that she could not control at all.It's a mother's love for her son.Humble but great love.Kneeling on both knees in the courtyard, she looked up at the Hao Sun that was gradually setting in the sky, and at the silver full moon that had already risen, shedding tears and silently praying with her life and soul."Tatsu'e
The Emperor was at the half-step Golden Immortal level of cultivation, and although this realm was forcefully instilled with various resources and secret techniques, the realm was enough after all.The lifespan of a half-step Golden Immortal could be more than five thousand years.So the Emperor never thought that he would have to face death head on, so soon."It's so ...... ungrateful."He smiled bitterly on his face and sighed deeply on the inside.But in the end, you have to face reality.The biggest problem to consider today was who should inherit the throne of Huangji Cliff after his death.He had only ascended the throne as emperor for just over two years, and because he was diligent in his political affairs and too young, he had not even considered the matter of the succession of the throne.In the harem, there are but one wife and two concubines.These three women were not his true love, but were allied for the sake of pr
