Chapter 48 - Found Liu Rui

Chapter 48: Found Liu Rui

After Concubine Jing left, Li Mu was the only one left in Shouning Palace.

It was obvious that An Mu would not come back, either.

In the opinions of the soldiers from the front line, An Mu was a military god-like existence.

During the more than one year on the battlefield, he never had a defeat.

For all these things he did, the soldiers called him ‘eunuch military god’.

In the army, he found his dignity and helped keep what the Fourth Prince should have.

Now, the emperor attached more and more importance to Liu An, the Fourth Prince.

With a Cultivation Achievement of the fourth level of Spirit Manipulation Realm, he was a dazzling genius in the imperial family.

Even his mother was invited out of the cold palace and became the highest-ranking concubine of the emperor.

With no one in Shouning Palace, Li Mu was much freer. He even didn’t need to guard the palace during the day.

In Mount Mang.

Li Mu had been in Mount Mang for two days and he went past three mountain streams.

Apart from the traces of beasts, he saw no one.

“There are seven more to go!”

Li Mu disappeared in place.

In front of a river, Li Mu stared at the bellyband floating in it.

Mount Mang was a deserted place and seldom people would come.

There were not even many cultivators here. How come such women’s stuff appears here?

Li Mu rushed upward all the way along the river.

More remnants of life and old clothes appeared in the river.

Soon, Li Mu arrived at the entrance of the underground river cave.

After careful sense, he flashed in.

Li Mu saw many people with embroidered black dragons on their chests and he went to fight with them without saying anything.

Early the next morning.

Blood came from the cave to the underground river. Then several bodies followed. On the chest of each body, there was an embroidered black dragon.

There were also countless fish around the bodies to eat the flesh.

The fish took the flesh from the bodies with sharp teeth, soon the bodies became skeletons.

It seemed that these fish already knew that there would be bodies appearing here and they waited at the cave entrance every day. The cave entrance seemed to be a place for some to feed them.

Deep in the underground river, there were many palaces.

Compared with the palaces outside, the palaces here just do not have roofs.

Everything in the outside world also existed here.

Granaries, workshops, streets, and large amounts of gold and copper.

Li Mu was standing on a building top.

This was the Library Tower of the Black Dragon Gang.

At this time, there was no one alive in the underground palace except Li Mu.

Li Mu directly got on the top floor and hastily flipped through a few methods.

“Bastard, how could someone raise their Cultivation Achievements with children’s essence and blood? Beast!”

Li Mu dropped the method book on his head and went to check another one.

“There are also some methods about cultivating with the essence and blood of other cultivators, including the born ones! No wonder there are so many experts in Black Dragon Gang.”

The doubts in his heart were solved, but anger appeared.

He lit a fire and threw it in the Library Tower.

Then, Li Mu continued to chase the enemies with his sword.

When Li Mu fought all the way here, many members of the Black Dragon Gang sensed something wrong and escaped. The structure of the underground rivers was complex and they took advantage of it to escape.

If it was before, Li Mu wouldn’t care whether these people escape or not.

However, after knowing the method they used, Li Mu was so angry that his face turned black.

“Bastards!” Thunder-like voices sounded.

The sound even raised waves in the river.

Such kinds of methods were really inhuman. No way that Li Mu would let them live.

Li Mu quickly moved like lightning swept through the underground hidden rivers.

Wherever he passed, there was sword qi left.

After a while, several members of the Black Dragon Gang took a boat into the cave.

It seemed that they came back to report to the headquarters.

“Why is the river water red?”

On the boat, these people were wrapped in black robes with only their eyes exposed.

They frowned when seeing the water turn red.

“There seems to be a smell of blood?”

One of them carefully smelled and got his eyes light up.

“Yes! Seem to be the essence and blood of cultivators!”

“These bastards, how can they pour the essence and blood of cultivators into the river? What a waste. Don’t they know how hard it is for us to catch and entrap cultivators outside!”

“We must talk to the elders about it when we get back!”

The boat was sculled into the cave along the river quickly.

“Sword…”

With a bang, two heads appeared on the boat.

The black-robed man at the bow of the boat was torn into pieces by the sword qi left by Li Mu.

The boat traveled a few more distances inside and was sliced in half by the sword qi, then it sank into the water.

Two hundred miles away from the White Dragon Creek.

Few people were here.

In a forest on the mountain, five men with black dragons embroidered on their chests were holding a slide bar. On the chair above, there tied a beautiful young woman.

“Let go of me!”

The young woman shouted with hatred on her face.

“Liu Rui, you’d better stay quiet. When we leave here, we will let you live a better life.”

Five hundred meters ahead, Zhao Seven turned around and said.

“You two still want to leave here? Even if you can, you will leave like lost dogs.” Liu Rui cursed.

“Liu Rui, if you think cursing is useful, go ahead and do it! I’m not going to let you leave anyway.”

“Seven, hurry up! Don’t delay, that man is coming to kill.”

At the forefront, Zhao Wu said eagerly.

He had already experienced the scene of that man killing people once.

And he didn’t want to have such an experience again.

It was too scary.

Every night, he would be awakened in shock by that scene.

As soon as Zhao Wu’s words fell, a strong sword qi with killing intention arose from a hill two hundred miles away.

Zhao Wu shouted, “He’s coming after us. Seven, run. Where there is life, there is hope.”

“Run!”

Zhao Seven cared about nothing but escaping at this time, he just ran forward quickly.

The five experts from the Black Dragon Gang scattered away and threw Liu Rui away.

Although that sword qi was two hundred miles away from them, they still couldn’t be at ease.

Think about it! Even the powerful Xuan Sect was destroyed by him!

Who dared to meet that god of killing at this time?

This group of people tried to stay low-key and fled away.

A little later, Li Mu followed the traces they left and found the place.

Seeing Liu Rui intact, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

He easily untied Liu Rui and then moved forward to kill while carrying Liu Rui.

“Cunning! Do they think they could escape if they run separately?”

Sometime later, five more bodies appeared on Mount Mang.

At this moment, Li Mu was standing on top of a mountain with Liu Rui in his arms.

On one side of him on a rock sat a youth.

“Zhao Wu? Are you deliberately exposing yourself so that Zhao Seven could escape?”

Li Mu put Liu Rui aside.

Liu Rui fell on the ground and vomited profusely.

In a short time, she was carried thousands of miles away by the senior who she even didn’t see his face.

With her little cultivation, she still felt her senses reel.

She felt the scene around spinning though she had laid on the ground.

She wanted to turn and see what the senior looked like but failed.

“I already died once anyway. I should have died in Xuan Sect. I didn’t expect that I could live until now. It is lucky for me. Even my Cultivation Achievement reached Saint-level.” Zhao Wu said calmly.

It was right. He exposed himself to gain time for Zhao Seven to escape.

“Reaching the Saint-level in just a few days? I wonder how much blood did you suck from your fellows?” Li Mu narrowed his eyes and said.

Li Mu found the swords, clothes, and bodies of many disciples from Xuan Sect. He also thought of the cultivation methods the Black Dragon Gang used and the cultivation growing speed of its disciples.

Zhao Mu must also reach Saint-level relied on the essence and blood of others.

“That’s right! Those who achieve great things wouldn’t care about such details. If you haven’t found me today, I will definitely become a Perfected Person someday. At that time, I will seek revenge on you. In that case, they died a worthy death. “
