A sense of coldness suddenly flashed on Li Mu's pupils.
The second prince was apparently aware of that subtle change.
He was very satisfied with Li Mu's reaction.
The second prince jeered, "Oh, yes. You seem to be on good terms with the young couple at the Ning Mansion. Well, they must also die. I heard that you are looking for a maid called Ming Yue. Don't worry. After you die, I will help you find her and kill her so that she may join you. Besides that, in the Taibai County, it is said that there are some of your confidants ...Oh, As for Mrs. Tang and her two daughters, as well as the girls you saved in the guise of the man with a silver smiley-ghost mask, I will send them to the Musical House. What do you think?"
The demon's evil power drowned him in a violent and cruel temperament.
The people of the Xiongfeng Martial Arts Club felt shocked when hearing those words.
"I'm sorry," Li Mu said.
Thud! The second prince was tossed to the ground in front of the hall. Li Mu rubbed his hands and opened his mouth wide to swallow that colorless sacred light, sending it to the Mud-pill Palace for further nurturing. "Ah? He returned to his original form?" Scrutinizing with his Third Eye, Li Mu was astounded to find that the evil force that was infused into the second prince had disappeared completely, and his strength had declined to the previous level. At that moment, his internal qi was running chaotically inside him. Also, he was grievously injured—few of his bones were unbroken, all his meridians damaged, his skin too ruddy and chapped like a cracked bark blotched with blood... "His pretty face is destroyed, isn't it?" Yet, the evil force flowing inside him did take Li Mu by surprise. "So that evil force of the Demonic Cloud Sheep is not a perpetual thing, is it?" Li
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. Li Mu's mother did recover some of her vision and could see things indistinctively. But it would take her a while for a full recovery. Plus, she had not seen Li Mu for eight years. And when the real Li Mu had run away from home, he was just a kid. After eight whole years, the boy's appearance had certainly changed a lot, so Li Mu's mother could not detect anything odd about the present Li Mu. Feng Yuanxing had already arranged a great welcoming feast. Since he knew Li Mu detested showy and extravagant ceremonies, he merely prepared a small-scaled private dinner. The guests were all close friends, such as Ma Junwu and Zhen Meng, as well as several officials in the county government who had worked hard and fulfilled their duties those days. So, to reward the officials for their dedication, Feng Yuanxing decided to invite them to the feast and introduce them to their big boss Li Mu.
The letter was from Xu Sheng. The news it brought was not pleasant. Due to the death of the second prince, the procedure of recommending Li Mu to be appointed Grand Chancellor of the Supervisory Department in the northwestern region was terminated right before it was about to be approved by the Chang'an government, when half of the procedure had been done. At the moment, it seemed that the deal was off the table. In the letter, Xu Sheng extended his apologies to Li Mu. Aside from that, Xu Sheng also alluded to the chaotic political state in Qin City after the second prince had died. All the political forces had burst into an uproar. The delicate balance was broken. It could be said that the death of the second prince had produced a series of ripple effects. Various forces started to bare their fangs. But since the emperor of the Western Qin was in a closed-door training to cure his injuries, nobody knew what to do without a lea
The Cloud Shuttle streaked across the sky like a flash of light. A large shuttle like that one also had a limited capacity. At the time, there were Lord Zhenxi and his sixteen guards, three receptionists from the Wind-ride Sword Sect, and a warlock good at massive star deployment driving the shuttle—a total of twenty people on board. After flying for about an hour, the energy of a Divine Crystal, which was the fuel of the shuttle, had almost been depleted. Then, the Cloud Shuttle had to do a forced landing in a mountain area. "We're in the region of the Green Mountain, three thousand miles away from the capital, so we don't need to worry about the chasing troops for the moment," said the warlock. A Divine Crystal was highly valuable. As they took flight they simply had no alternative but to use it. Yet, it was rather unwise to continue consuming it when the coast was clear. At last, the warlock alone drove the shu
The blind Taoist sensed the contempt and disdain in Li Mu's tone. He snorted and replied, "No comment." At that answer, Li Mu was amused. "Fu*k it! You put on airs even before I ruffle your feathers!" With a stir of his mind, the Samsara Knife under his feet vibrated. A flash of broadsword light went off, which pierced the many-layered protective shields covering the blind Taoist in a trice but halted only a fraction of an inch away from his throat. The chilling broadsword qi surged, and it could easily cut open the blind Taoist's skin if it moved a little bit forward. "I don't have much patience." Li Mu began, irritated. "On that day, you took my attendant away and had her disappear. I haven't settled that account with you. So, even if I kill you now, it will just be a minor punishment." The blind Taoist gave a cold laugh and snapped, "You colluded with the demon races. You're a scumbag of mankind.
Another month swiftly passed by. Everyone in the Taibai County felt that the surroundings seemed to have changed. The air seemed to be fresher, and the water in the well sweeter. Some dead trees were actually starting to sprout, and the withered grass germinated in the snowy winter. Besides, some animals and birds that should have disappeared in that season had even appeared in the county. The frozen stream began to flow, and the dead springs were awake again... A few of the older people who were almost at rest in that cold winter looked increasingly vigorous, and they could even walk alone. On the other hand, some disabled people also surprisingly found that they were recovering, and after ten days, they were completely healed. That kind of personal experience surprised countless people. In the Taibai County, Qing Feng, a scholar servant who was known as the Little Master, certainly noticed such changes.
He remembered that although Li Mu had resisted the siege of those great Celestial Beings that day, it was because of the Sky-stabilizing Mirror that repressed the Yuan qi of heaven and earth, rendering Celestial Beings unable to perform their skills. At that time, Li Mu's natural qi had only been at half a level. Zhao Yu was a very confident and conceited person. Therefore, in his view, given that he had defeated Meng Wu and Chu Nantian, two Natural Experts, with his cultivation inferior to a Natural Expert's, he was no worse than Li Mu. After all, even if a Natural Expert didn't mobilize the Yuan qi from heaven and earth, he could give it into full play. His fight was more convincing. Therefore, although he was shocked by Li Mu's performance that day, he would never feel ashamed of his inferiority. He was confidant of his talent and potential. As long as he had time and opportunities, he believed that he could definitely catch up with Li Mu
A confused Zheng Cunjian followed Li Mu to the door of the study. After being expanded by Li Mu, the old county magistrate mansion covered a wide area, offering a broad vision. There were no high walls in the courtyard, but mainly trees, canals and rockeries. Therefore, Li Mu could see most of the yard clearly from the study door. With the breeze, the trees were rustling. The scenery in the courtyard was extremely attractive. Zheng Cunjian looked around the quiet courtyard. However, the courtyard was abnormally quiet. Li Mu's mouth went upward and he moved his finger. Then, the power from the finger was pressed into the yard. A weird phenomenon happened. Zheng Cunjian surprisingly found that in the quiet courtyard, ripples arose, forming a wave-shaped picture, and immediately a new scene appeared where four figures were furiously wandering back and forth in t
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
