Since the news were intentionally blocked by the Beggar Gang, that battle was not known to most outsiders. The royal household of Northern Song helped the gang block that piece of news.
Currently, it was a mess for Northern Song. Neither the gang nor the imperial household wanted such things to spread.
Lord Virtuous the Eighth's palace covered a huge area. It was made like a garden, with water-surrounded corridors, curved streams, gorgeous and antique pavilions, in which many rare and fragrant plants were grown. The pattern arrays created a suitable environment for their growth.
As a job-free lord, Lord Virtuous the Eighth had been in a semi-relaxed state for the past ten years, planting flowers and grass, rearing fish and insects. Only when there was something urgent in Northern Song, would the king call him to meet for national affairs.
It could be told that he was still trusted by the emperor.
However, things w
In the next few days, Lord Virtuous the Eighth tried more than once to find time to talk with Li Mu and convey the goodwill of the emperor of the Northern Song. However, Li Mu had always stayed in closed-door training and never stepped out once. Thus, there was little he could do about it. Occasionally, Lord Virtuous the Eighth mentioned the matter to Wang Shiyu as off-hand as he could be. When Ming Yue, Qing Feng, and Yuan Hou were around, he did his best to show his kindness, for he had decided to influence the people around Li Mu first. With news from all parts of the empire delivered to his mansion nonstop, Lord Virtuous the Eighth became a busy man again. The circumstances were still rather dismal for the royal family of the Northern Song. Although Lord Jin's territories, armies, and forces already fell apart after his death, the royal family of the Northern Song who was on the high moral ground failed to put up Lord Jin's league in its
At that question, awkwardness fell upon the place. The disciples of the Bloody-moon Faction as well as the two trusted cronies—one was overweight, the other bony—were all shivering, their eyes fixed upon Bloody-moon Evil Master. Bloody-moon Evil Master answered, "Saint, they have been murdered by a strong enemy in this world. I've done everything I could to help them fight that opponent, but our effort was in vain. The opponent is just too powerful." "Uh? In this world, there is someone who can kill Black Smoke and Bloody Eye in a two-on-one fight?" The scarlet-haired man was a little startled. His hair fluttered like wriggling blood-red snakes. On a closer look, Taoist magic figures were gleaming on each of his hair. And beneath his skin, layers of blood-red Taoist patterns were whirling smoothly. "His name is Li Mu. He has changed from an ordinary man to a Sage in just two years. And he is quite young, only abou
Li Mu abruptly rose to his feet and strode to the entrance of the hall. He opened the Third Eye and caught sight of a streak of silver light shooting in the direction of Lord Virtuous the Eighth's residence. The light contained the steeling force of the Great Way, as though it would snatch away that chunk of space. The killing intent in that light was also inconceivable. "Who is coming?" A vortex of thunder and lightning quickly appeared in Li Mu's Third Eye. Then, a flash of purple lightning zoomed out and crushed right with that jet of silver light. Up in the void, the force of the Divine Way swirled feverishly. "Ah? Which fellow is there?" An icy voice rang in Li Mu's ear as the silver light spun. The tone sounded quite startled. But Li Mu did not answer. The vortex of the purple lightning reappeared in the Third Eye, slowly rotating like a galaxy. Next, another bolt of purple thunde
However, to Li Mu's surprise, after searching the entire Tianyi Palace, he found no trace of the before-the-era relics or any clues about the Tao Te Ching Lao Zi left behind. "This is odd. Shiyu said all the relics before the era are stored in Tianyi Palace. Could she make a mistake? Or did the relics be moved to some other place?" Li Mu was bewildered. The silver figure called Yue Guoxiang claiming to be a disciple of Tianyi Palace, a great faction from the universe, certainly had something with the Tianyi Palace built on that planet. That figure did not choose to hide in the palace for no reason. It was just that he was forced to run away when Li Mu showed up. Unwilling to resign to the fruitless search, Li Mu turned on his Third Eye and examined the place again. On the second search, he was more and more impressed by the many wonders in the palace. Because though the Taoist magic figures there were set up a lon
Li Mu was deeply astonished.It felt like an ordinary schoolboy he knew all along had solved the Goldbach Conjecture. What was going on? It was not long since Qing Feng started studying Taoist refining art and alchemy. But by then, he was already able to refine Taoist instruments?Li Mu held the silver pellet in his hand and injected a ray of spiritual force in it. Immediately he saw the inside of the pellet. There was a small space, like a case for storing swords. Indeed, a hundred and eight long broadswords in different shapes were lying in it. The blades were all lanky and streamlined. And the one thing they all had in common was that the broadswords had no handles, only the shining blades."Nice broadswords!"With a stir of his mind, a long broadsword was drawn out and appeared in front of him.The layers of silver glow on the blade gleamed like moon-lit flowing water. And a curious sharpness swept straight toward
After watching the clips of memories, Li Mu immediately knew where the bad feelings that bothered him those days had come from.It was all because of the large factions in the Brilliance Immortal Galaxy!Those great forces in the universe were all vying to land on that planet and lay their hands on the treasures in the Tomb of the God of Sin. It was conceivable that soon a large number of extraterrestrial practitioners would arrive in that world at all costs.It would be a disaster.Judging by the behavior of the devil called Black Smoke, the demonized Liang Zhi, and Yue Guoxiang, it was easy to see what kind of attitude those extraterrestrial practitioners held toward the creatures in that world—they viewed those people as stupid animals and could kill them without feeling guilty. They even fed on the living creatures in that world, sucking in their blood to replenish the cultivation they had lost during the landing.
People often laughed at moths flying toward the fire for their stupidity of courting death.But what they did not know was the moths had never seen light in their entire life. So, when they sensed even a single bit of warmth, they would leap forward to embrace the light, even though the light would burn them up.They knew that meant death.But they also knew something man was not aware of. That was, though the flame would burn their bodies up, it would purify their souls as well.They were creatures living in darkness but yearning for light.And they chased light without regrets.The vanguard of the Heaven Inspire Army viewed as unworthy beings, sinners, and slaves, as well as those members of the ancient factions who had escaped death by hiding in mountains, were exactly like the moths. They had been hiding in lightless hell. When they caught the thin shaft of light after the crown prince of the Great Moo
"Your Highness, you can't do that. Let me, the old Zhang, do it.""The two of us can stay and hold off the pursuing forces. That way we can die without regrets. Your Highness, you are carrying the spark of the Great Moon Empire. We can't let anything bad happen to you!"Zhang San and Mu Qing hopped anxiously on the spot.At that time, to stay there and fight Emperor Qin Ming was basically committing suicide.Yu Hualong countered, "But will you be able to hold him off if you two stay here?"Both of them were dumbfounded upon hearing that question.Yes, they could not stop Emperor Qin Ming even if they stayed on the battlefield.Indeed, Semi-Sages could easily triumph over most of the other practitioners in the world. However, in the face of Emperor Qin Ming, the number one expert on that planet, they could be killed in a fraction of a second. Therefore, if the two stayed, they would just be off
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
