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
Up to the present Huang Wenyuan still did not get it. But it was arranged by his grandfather in person, so he could not say no to it. Given that he felt wronged and was flustered by the whole thing, he dawdled along the road. When he arrived in Chang'an, he did not immediately set off for Taibai County. Instead, he decided to have a taste of the prosperity of the province capital first by plunging into the enchanting red light district and spending his gold in some attractive woman's arms. That indeed sounded more appealing than the forlorn practice in the sect. Bai Xuan, the madam in the Holy House, had come to accompany him with a broad smile. Although she seemed happy, she was still a little worried. From what she had heard in the past few days, this young man, who had attracted all the big shots in the city to visit him, tag along with him, and butter him up, and even received quite polite and warm treatment f
Hearing that, Li Gang gave a satisfied smile. Private Adviser Tian did not practice martial arts. His strength was even less than Zheng Cunjian's. But he excelled at unorthodox arts like Divination and fortune-telling, so he had a pair of sharp eyes in judging people's disposition. Now that Private Adviser Tian came to that conclusion, then it could not be incorrect. Huang Wenyuan was a man with ambitious goals but thin blessings. He was born to be a scapegoat. Then, Li Gang thought of the Private comment Adviser Tian gave Li Mu, which was very concise—he is a man to be obliterated at the first chance. The explanation he provided was that 'his acts are beyond any reasonable deduction, so he is a variable out of our control.' And those incidents in the past few weeks proved that Li Mu was indeed an erratic variable. The fact that the second prince was at last killed by Li Mu was the most substantial evidence. "You
As the Third Eye scanned the ancient booklet, which bore the signs of many ages, Li Mu saw that there was an absurd interlayer sandwiched between two pages made of the strange material. In the interlayer hid a bizarre picture. It appeared to be something between a star map and a landscape drawing, which was quite complex. But what astounded Li Mu most was the title on the top part. It said 'Hoary Head Enigmatic Illustration.' The name of the picture was clearly the Hoary Head Enigmatic Illustration. The reason that Li Mu was shocked by it was that the title was not written in any language of this world. Instead... It was written in Chinese, a language of the Earth. "How is that possible?" "Is this an object of the ancient Earth which then strayed to this planet?" Li Mu was stunned. "This is really a pleasant surprise!" He continued to operate the Third Eye to
Huang Wenyuan and his men picked up the speed and arrived in Taibai County by the dusk. "What? Newly appointed county magistrate?" In the new county government, when Feng Yuanxing and the officials saw the file, the government seal, and the appointment document, they were all dumbstruck, unable to believe it was really happening. Li Mu had not given them any hint of the position transfer before, so Feng Yuanxing, Ma Junwu, Zhen Meng and the others were not prepared for it at all. A group of people emerged at the county government without any notice and claimed that they would replace Li Mu as the county magistrate. It was really... Well, the key point was all the appointment documents did not appear to be forged ones. "What's this all about?" "Where is Li Mu? Tell him to come to me." Huang Wenyuan eyed the buildings of the new county government and uttered the order with an overbearing air.
At that, Feng Yuanxing knew he could no longer keep the truth from the masses and so recounted what had happened during the past few days. Then, as tactfully as he could, he added, "Shortly after the strife occurred, those folks and soldiers involved in the conflict were killed. Yet, I don't believe that's just an unlucky coincidence. I dare say Young Master Huang and his subordinates are among the suspects." "It's not that they are among the suspects. They are the suspects!" cried a folk on the scene. "The murder is certainly that man surnamed Huang!" shrieked another. "I beg Your Honor to bring justice to us!" The folks and the families of the victims all got on their knees, imploring and lamenting. They knew that Young Master Huang was not a man they could afford to offend, so Li Mu was their only hope. As the folks were pleading, a man's mild voice said, "Humph, a bunch of unruly people! Do you have any eviden
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
