Chapter 63: Killing

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

A few days later.

Several personal disciples followed one of the elders in Clan Nangong down the mountain. They were heading straight to Nanzhou.

“Even Nanzhou doesn’t have a lot of prenatal qi there. How could the devil be so powerful? Brother-in-training wasn’t tough enough and he couldn’t resist temptation, that was why he fell.”

“Why are you talking so much nonsense? If you can destroy the devil, you are the truth.”

“Some people suspect that there is no devil in the State of Great Xia at all.”

“Then why did Brother-in-training Nangong turn into a devil?”

Some days later, a group of people appeared in the capital of the State of Great Xia.

“This doesn’t seem to be the devils’ home, and there’s no trace of any devils in the palace.”

Some personal disciples had explored the palace earlier.

“Be quiet, in case the elder hears what you say. Lu Tianfeng said there is a devil here, so there must be one. Let’s just refuse to kill.”

“Refuse? When we go back, I’m afraid someone will make things hard for us.”

“Is there ever a time when things are not hard for us?”

Inside Shouning Palace.

Green moss covered the steps and leaves were strewn all over the courtyard.

There were even mushrooms growing in shady and damp places.

Shouning Palace seemed to be deserted, since Li Mu hadn’t returned for six months.

Li Mu conjured some wind and blew away all the leaves on the ground.

With a snap of his fingers, a fire lit up and the burned the leaves to ashes.

Li Mu then controlled a broom and used it to clean up the courtyard.

Then he took a bucket of water and washed away all the debris.

“What? They came so fast?”

Li Mu had flown back without any delay after getting the news in Xia’s.

He didn’t expect that the other party would also arrive so quickly.

“One cultivator with the cultivation of half-step Virtual Realm, twelve with Upper Level of Perfected Person Upper Level. two with Supreme Level of Perfected Person, three with the ninth level of Perfected Person. The cultivations of the rest are the seventh or eighth level of Perfected Person.”

If it was still in the past, any one of them could dominate Nanzhou.

Back at that time, the most powerful one in Nanzhou was the Senior Grand Elder in Xuan Sect.

He wasn’t even on the Medium Level of Perfected Person.

But today, so many experts were here.

There was even one with the cultivation of half-step Virtual Realm.

Did they need to send so many experts just to take over the State of Great Xia?

As for the devil…

Maybe even Zhao Seven couldn’t imagine that so many experts would come for him after his death.

“If only Zhao Seven was still alive. With so many experts, he must have been even more desperate then!”

Unfortunately, Zhao Seven was killed by Li Mu and his body turned to ashes.

Why didn’t this group of people believe it? Why did they still want to investigate?What was there to investigate?

Were they making it a big deal because the result was not what they wanted?

Li Mu put down the rag and sat over the main hall.

“What? Head towards the palace? No more investigation?”

Seeing the group of people going to the palace, Li Mu also went up and flew out of the palace to stop them.

“Why did you come here?”

Li Mu was dressed as a red-robed eunuch. His hair had some grey in it and his face was clean shaven

The personal disciples took a quick look at Li Mu and said, “Old eunuch, do you want to stop us? Go on get lost! Don’t obstruct us from killing the devil to restore justice.”

“There is no devil here and you don’t need to restore justice. All of you should get out and go somewhere else.”

Li Mu extended his field to stop them from coming forward.

Elder Nangong looked Li Mu up and down, walked forward, and said, “You don’t know if there’s a devil here or not. We need to go in and see for ourselves. How dare you meddle in our business, you fake eunuch!”

He didn’t expect that there would be a cultivator of half-step Virtual Realm in Nanzhou.

And this guy even lived in the palace of the State of Great Xia.

It seemed that they were unlucky today!

“Sir, you are too domineering!”

Li Mu took out his sword and the aggressiveness of the sword went straight towards the sky.

The sword qi wrapped the sword and formed a dragon of sword Qi.

“You should know who we are, right? Do you know what will happen to you if you offend us? It doesn’t matter you’re a real eunuch or a fake one, I will send you to hell.”

“So you refuse to leave?”

“We’re just here to kill you. A devil with the cultivation of half-step Virtual Realm, a satisfactory explanation to the whole world.”

Elder Nangong looked at Li Mu with growing satisfaction in his heart.

Was this man exactly what the devil should be like?

Half-step Virtual Realm!

How could a cultivator of such level be in Nanzhou?

He must have absorbed the essence and blood of thousands of people from many noble clans, right?

That was the most sensible explanation.

It didn’t matter if Li Mu was a devil head or not. Elder Nangong thought that he could regain his respect and authority by bringing back Li Mu’s head.

After so many years, the people in Zhongzhou have almost forgotten how powerful Clan Nangong used to be.

“Kill the devil? You want to place the blame on me?” Li Mu’s eyes narrowed.

Why was there always someone who wanted to kill him? But these people seemed too over confident.

“You can surrender now or I will eliminate you and your whole family.” Elder Nangong was very smug as he said that to Li Mu.

“If I surrender, will you spare the people of the State of Great Xia? I don’t think so! You’re accusing me of being a devil, so I must have some sidekicks, right?” Li Mu scoffed.

Surrender so that they could kill him? No way! He was not an idiot.

And he had seen such liars in his previous life.

In World War II, many of the soldiers and civilians in Hua Xia fell for them.

“You will die no matter what. Honghai Sacred Ground was newly built relatively, but our grand ancestor is still alive!”

Elder Nangong was proud as he said this and he seemed to be sure that Li Mu would be afraid.

He was determined that everyone would be afraid when hearing about the grand ancestor of Honghai Sacred Ground.

If he could convince his opponent to commit suicide, then they wouldn’t have to get their hands dirty.

In the past, this trick always worked. Many experts would surrender in fear.

“Terrifying! What is Honghai?”

“How dare you curse our grand ancestor?” Elder Nangong’s eyes narrowed angrily.

“He deserves to be cursed, especially with such bad disciples doing evil,” Li Mu joked.

Seeing that Li Mu did not take his warning seriously, Elder Nangong became furious! “Go to hell! Everyone, get him!”

Did this guy think the people in Honghai Sacred Ground were powerless?

Elder Nangong drew his sword and hit Li Mu first.

With a sound, the sword qi rushed to the sky.

Endless sword qi flew out from Li Mu’s field and strangled the other party with all its might.

Purple light glowed with the sword qi.

Two of the disciples from the sacred ground failed to dodge and they were hit.

Their bodies were separated from their fields and the sound of lightning striking accompanied as they fell to the ground and died immediately. and they died at once.

The fields of other disciples were shattered.

“You… You comprehended the rule! Elder Nangong’s expression suddenly changed.

Comprehending the rule meant Li Mu would eventually become an expert of the Virtual Realm, although he was only at the half-step now.

That was to say, Li Mu was much stronger than Elder Nangong. Elder Nangong had no hope to break through, even if their cultivations were both in half-step Virtual Realm now.

The important thing was that Li Mu comprehended the lightning rule.

A sword cultivator with the power of thunder and lightning!

Elder Nangong knew he was doomed.

“I am one step away from the Virtual Realm. What? Are you afraid?” Li Mu joked.

Cold sweat burst out on Elder Nangong’s forehead.

With his eyes fixed on Li Mu, he suddenly shouted, “Run!” Then he ran away first.

“Do you want to escape? I’ve made some preparations.”

Light flashed from his sword.

Thunder hit Elder Nangong, followed by sword qi.

Half a day later, in the Hall of Soul Flickers of Honghai Scared Ground, soul flickers in the middle row extinguished one by one.

Li Mu flew towards Muguang Mountain carrying the bodies of Elder Nangong and the others from Honghai Sacred Ground.

He casually dumped the bodies in a stream and returned to Mount Yan in the State of Great Xia.

“It’s time to breakthrough. Danger still exists if I don’t have enough power. ”
