Chapter 235: Keeping A Low Profile
“What’s that sound?”
In the stone house, a house full of Roc Clansmen stared at the Intelligence Roc who was speaking.
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
There was another sound?
What did that mean?
“They said that the Phoenix Clan killed Elder Lei Bai!”
The Intelligence Roc said in a low voice.
Hiss~
The stone house was filled with gasps.
“Humph~ This was to sow discord between us and the Phoenix Clan!”
The house was filled with disbelief.
If the Dragon Clan killed Lei Bai and then framed the Human Clan, it would still be believable.
You’re talking about the Phoenix Clan?
“Why? There must be a reason! Without a reason, who would believe such nonsense?”
After a long while, an elder at the center of the stone house slowly stood up and swept his gaze around as he spoke unhurriedly.
The other elders were suddenly jolted awake.
How could such nonsense be spread?
What was the reason?
The great demons who wanted to mock the Intelligence Roc immediately shut their mouths and stared at the Intelligence Roc.
“Because the Phoenix Clan didn’t like the fact that the Roc Clan and the Dragon Clan are always at war, destroying the harmony of the Demon Clan, so they killed Elder Lei Bai and framed the Human Clan. Firstly, it would divert our attention, and secondly, it would make the Demon Clan unite against the Human Clan.”
The Intelligence Roc lowered its head and said.
“Yes.”
The great Roc who was seated on the master seat frowned.
“Elder, this has nothing to do with me! It was a rumor circulating outside. There was also a rumor that Elder Lei Bai didn’t die in seclusion, and the Roc Clan wanted to use it as an excuse to take over the Human Clan’s territory.”
“Ridiculous! The human race isn’t worthy of our attention!”
The Bald Roc seated in the middle suddenly stood up and shouted angrily.
“Elder, they said that our Roc Clan suffered heavy losses in the war with the Dragon Clan and we had to gather some resources from the Human Clan to recover our strength!”
The Intelligence Roc continued.
“Enough! First, the Eagle King came and informed that it was a human expert killer. Then, others said that it was the Dragon Clan who killed him, and then they said that it was the Phoenix Clan who killed him. I want to know, who killed Elder Lei Bai? After investigating for so long, you’ve only come back with so many rumors.”
The Bald Roc circled the stone house, his voice getting louder and louder.
He was enraged.
It was just that there was no definite news!
The worst thing was that the entire world knew that their Semi-god Realm elder had been killed.
Some of the Demon Clans had even spread the news.
And the Roc Clan was the last one to know the news. They couldn’t even investigate the death of their elder.
“Elder, I shall go and investigate again!”
The Intelligence Roc lowered his head and said with a trembling voice.
“Too late! Lei Bai had been dead for so long. I’m afraid all the clues had been cleaned up by them.”
The Bald Roc said with a headache.
Those who could kill Lei Bai were at least in the Semi-god Realm.
If he wanted to hide, how could they find him?
In just two months, he had created so much news. It was hard to tell which one was real and which one was fake.
He must have contributed to this!
The Intelligence Roc lowered his head and didn’t dare to say anything.
“The Eagle King must have heard one of the news and came here to claim the credit. How could there be a Semi-god Realm warrior among the Human Clan? And he was chasing after Elder Lei Bai?”
“Who else could it be but the humans?”
“Don’t forget that many years ago, the Roc Clan’s base was attacked. Not only was the base almost destroyed, but so many warriors were also lost. There must be a dragon warrior watching us from the shadows. If one of us were left alone…”
“So those who were sent to find Li Mu were all…”
Inside the stone house, the Roc Clan didn’t dare to think further.
Perhaps, the news about Li Mu was all fake, and the purpose was to lure the Rocs.
In the Sunset Mountains.
Li Mu was lying on a towering tree.
After spending more than two months, he had finally erased all traces of him in this world.
In the Sunset Mountains, not to mention sword intent, even his aura couldn’t be found at all.
He was waiting now!
Waiting for the Roc Clan’s reaction.
If the Roc Clan believed that it was him who did it, then they would have to plan the next move.
While lying on the tree and waiting, he continued to comprehend the Mystic Method.
After waiting for a few months, there was no sign of the Roc Clan.
“Looks like it’s done. With so much news, I would feel dizzy, let alone the Roc Clan.”
He carefully counted the news that he had spread.
Each of them could withstand scrutiny.
Especially the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan. It was impossible for the Roc Clan to verify them!
It was impossible for the Roc Clan and the Dragon Clan to talk.
The Phoenix Clan was even more disdainful towards such a question.
After sorting out the items he had obtained from the signing, Li Mu’s figure disappeared.
After the Roc Clan’s continuous attacks and killings, the small city gradually calmed down.
The Roc Clan’s carcasses continuously appeared on the market.
Some high-level orcs had also bought many things from the great Roc to use for cultivation.
As for the Roc Clan!
The orcs of the Fenglan region hated them to the bone.
The Tiger orcs, Wolf orcs, and Canine orcs were almost exterminated.
When they saw the carcasses of the Roc Clan, they wished they could eat them.
As for whether there was Li Mu in the small city, they didn’t dare to inquire further.
Didn’t they see so many carcasses of the Roc Clan appearing on the market?
Since they had managed to kill such a formidable Roc Clan, how could they dare to have any thoughts towards Li Mu?
Thinking about Li Mu was a road to death.
After the appearance of that Virtual Realm expert of the Zhou family, the small city became even more prosperous.
Especially since that Virtual Realm expert of the Zhou family didn’t seize it, nor did he take over the great authority in the city.
On the contrary, the Zhou family was even more low-key than before.
They didn’t have the slightest bit of ambition.
With such an expert in the city, they would not plunder the city. Who did not like it?
Looking at the other cities, after an expert appeared in a certain family, they wished that they could transfer the entire city to their own forces.
Such a low-key expert was too rare.
A few days later, the small city suddenly erupted in an imposing manner.
“It was the same as the Zhou family’s imposing manner!”
“It’s the Virtual Realm!”
“Another Virtual Realm!”
…
A moment later, most of the warriors in the small city were pressed to the ground.
In the study of the Zhou family.
Li Mu raised his head and swept a glance.
He knew that there were a few Perfected Person experts hidden in the city.
When he was still in the middle stage of the Perfected Person realm, the other party was already at the peak of the Perfected Person realm.
Most of the carcasses of the great demons of the True Realm had been bought by the other party.
“He only reached the Virtual Realm after such a long time! If it wasn’t for the carcass of that flat-haired beast, he would have been stuck at the half-step Virtual Realm for the rest of his life.”
Zhou Kun’s eyes were filled with envy.
This was a fortuitous encounter.
Seeing that there was no hope of a breakthrough in cultivation, the people who had been hiding in the small city waiting to die did not expect another fortuitous encounter.
Two days later, this aura disappeared.
The entire small city was in an uproar.
Everyone was looking for this new advanced Virtual Realm expert.
However, this expert disappeared just like that.
“Another expert who is hiding! Isn’t he too low-key?”
“If the Zhou family had always been low-key, then what is this?”
“Don’t forget that many Virtual Realm experts were very low-key, to begin with! Look at the Liu family. With such an expert present, they were even more low-key than the Zhou family.”
…
Inside the Liu family.
Liu Xiu slowly exhaled.
Her cultivation was only half a step to Perfected Person.
It was also due to their quick reaction in securing a feather that the result was achieved.
“There are so many Virtual Realm experts in the city! Doesn’t that mean there are even more Perfected Person experts?”
Liu Xiu frowned.
Her eldest sister was silent.
“Sigh, who would have thought that the small city would have such a situation today. The Zhou family has finally stabilized. I wonder how long our Liu family would be able to survive under the protection of such experts?”
The third sister said.
She was very pessimistic about the future of the Liu family.
“What else could we do? We could only lower our stance and don’t cause trouble.”
