The first red sun rose slowly over the top of the city wall of Chang'an, bathing the ancient city in the warm sunlight.
With the help of the maid, Grassy, Madam Li stepped out of the thatch-roofed house with an anxious look. When Grassy saw Li Mu, who was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the yard, she called, "Madam, this is not a dream. Young Master is truly here. He is in a training session."
Hearing the excited voice, Li Mu got to his feet and turned to Madam Li, "Mom, you're up."
"My boy..." Madam Li walked over and grabbed Li Mu's hand. She stroked his face for quite a while before showing a broad smile and saying, "You're really my son. I thought last night was just a dream."
"Mom, don't worry, from this day on, I will not let you live with fear all by yourself." Deeply moved by the old woman's affectionate touch and hand-holding, Li Mu guaranteed seriously.
"Sister Grassy, there is some food in the car
By dint of his strength coupled with some simple Taoist magic arts, Li Mu could freely go in and out of the mansion of the Zhou family as if it were an unguarded place. Therefore, Zhou Dedao and his guards did not notice his intrusion before. As to why Li Mu was spotted now, it was because after realizing how time-consuming the blind searching was, he decided to reveal himself to some leader of the staff in order to ask for directions. But to his surprise, he bumped right into the president of the Dafeng Chamber of Commerce, the head of the entire mansion. With Li Mu's hand clapping on his shoulder, Zhou Dedao immediately felt like he was pinned under a mountain and could not move at all. "Get your hand off President Zhou!" yelled Leader Wang agitatedly. He then paced in an odd and unpredictable fashion. Before they realized it, he suddenly approached Li Mu and hacked at the arm Li Mu rested on Zhou Dedao's shoulder. "The peak
"Who... Who the hell are you?" demanded Zhou Dedao with a spiteful look. He had stood up with the help of the guards. Today, he had first been held hostage out of no reason. Next, he was slapped in front of everyone. And then, his son got beaten up and lost his legs in his presence. Either of those things was impossible to happen in normal days, let alone right in his mansion. However, today, they happened in a row. That made Zhou Dedao want to pull out his hair. The usually sly and resourceful merchant now almost freaked out. "A father must hold himself responsible for what kind of man his son turns into. Since you've raised up such a vicious son, you're not a good person, either," said Li Mu in an icy tone as he gazed at Zhou Dedao. He was here to find a maid today instead of coming for trouble. But when he saw Xia Ju had been tortured like that, he associated it with the matter of last night. Naturally, he figured it out that Zhou Yu had
Affronting a top expert in the Master Realm was nothing fearful to the Dafeng Commerce of Chamber. However, ruffling the feathers of a superb expert in the Great Master Realm was not something the Dafeng Commerce of Chamber could do without contemplation. The reason that the branch of the World Chamber of Commerce in Chang'an could always get its way and stood above the rest was attributable to the fact that it had a super powerful expert in the Great Master Realm. With such a menacing ace card at hand, even the local government that represented the majesty of the empire had to be nice to them. What was more, the superb expert, Li Mu, was still very young. A young Master was a far cry from a young Great Master. Most of the highly gifted cultivators were probably unable to break through the Master Realm and become a Great Master during their whole lifetime. Indeed, not every Master could make his way
Apart from the piled-up corpses, at the end of the cellar sat four massive furnaces. Guards in specially-made protective armors were moving the corpses one by one and threw them into the furnaces to burn to ashes. Apparently, this cellar was a place to burn the corpses so as to destroy the evidence of their crimes. Li Mu's heart sank. "Crap! Qiu Yi might have already been dead. The odds are against us." He quickly reinforced the Searching Incantation and the hair continued to lead them forward. At last, they came to a heap of bodies. The hair zoomed into the heap of bodies and disappeared from sight. By his side, Xia Ju also figured out what might happened to Qiu Yi. Instantly, her face paled and tears rolled down her cheeks in silence. Li Mu clenched his teeth and boldly began to ferret in the heap of corpses. At the bottom of the heap, a girl in a light green maid unifor
"Take good care of the young lady on your back, and I will handle the rest." As Li Mu felt the anger of the chrysanthemum leopard, he stroked its head to appease it. The chrysanthemum leopard bellowed, indicating that it understood. In front of them, the locust-like arrows of the strong crossbows washed over. Li Mu took a deep breath and then suddenly exhaled. "Boom!" With Zhenwu Boxing, his tempered flesh became extremely strong. This breath, after flowing through his lungs and was compressed, burst out, which, like a forceful torrent, would beat those thick and strong crossbows flying back at a faster speed, and even cause the surrounding collapsed rock and cracked walls to head towards the arrows... "Alas…" Among the screams, there were countless flame soldiers who were pinned on walls and ground by the arrows that flew back, and their blood kept spilling after they wer
Zhang Chuixue said just now that the hole mark was unlikely to be made out of a human punch, but now what the three elders said totally contradicted his words. "Why is a Great Master the enemy of my Heaven Sword Martial Club?" As Zhang Chengfeng forced himself to restrain the inner shock, he asked, "In Chang'an, the number of Great Masters is less than five, and all of them are super experts who have been famous for more than ten years. Did you discern which master he is?" "This..." elder Lu replied with a look either dubious or embarassed, "We couldn't figure out who it is, as we were flung out by him as soon as we started the battle. Thus, the maze collapsed and a great deal of dust rose, so we couldn't recognize the rival's face. Nevertheless, he seemed to come here to save people, since there might be some family members or friends of his in the incinerator cellar of the maze." "Whoo," Zhang Chengfeng gasped. In the inciner
This light sound, like a heavy hammer, cracked on the heart of all the people from the Heaven Sword Martial Club. Zhang Chuixue, whose neck was twisted off, was thrown on the ground like a rag doll. "This is my request... Owner Zhang, if you have any opinion, you can visit me at any time. These days, I live in Pig-Herding Alley, west city of Chang'an." Li Mu drew back his arm and caressed the chrysanthemum leopard. "Let's go." He seemed to fly outside the martial arts club. The chrysanthemum leopard growled and its eyes were full of hatred when it looked at those wearing the Heaven Sword Martial Club uniform. But it still obeyed Li Mu's words, roaring and following him. The leopard, as the king of the forest, jumped quickly, and the chrysanthemum leopard was even a heterogeneous wild animal. Even though it was carrying Qiu Yi's corpse and Xia Ju on its back, it still moved
Like some remarkable talents on earth who could control objects or twist steel by means of spiritual force, it was not difficult for Li Mu to use his spiritual force to carve characters on the jade-made taoist embryo. Actually, carving characters was more complex than simply twisting steel or something like spoons. Luckily, Li Mu's spiritual force that was activated by Xiantian Skill was more powerful when compared to those remarkable talents on earth. He manipulated the intangible spiritual force by fixing his concentration, picturing the carved patterns imparted by the old faker, then he seemed to use an invisible tool to carve on the jade-made toist embryo. Thus, the depressed lines appeared, as the jade scraps fell off continuously. Again and again. Li Mu carved the Yinshan Mountain Ghost-cultivating Drawing on the jade-made taoist embryo. According to the old faker's opinion, the Yinshan Mountain Ghost-cultivating Drawing
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
