Chapter 981 Enemies Will Meet

The same words, spoken by different people, had different effects.

If Yan Yalun asked such a question, the people of the Liuyun family would glare at him. However, Li Buhui said that. Less than half an hour later, everyone was taken to the entrance of the mine hole of the fairy crystal of the Liuyun family.

The stone mountain was not very high. A huge hole with a diameter of more than four meters long had been dug. It slanted downward and extended to the ground. The faint sounds of the wind came from the depths of the huge hole like the roars of a demonic beast.

“This is the map under the hole of the mine. After hundreds of years of being dug, the hole of the mine below is like a maze. Without a map, it is easy to get lost in it.” Liuyun Wufeng, the patriarch of the Liuyun family, asked someone to bring a thick stack of maps over and distributed them to everyone present. Then, he said, “The green passages on maps are approachable, while the red passages have been abandoned for a long time. They may have changed. We are not sure what dangers there are for the time being. Be careful after entering the hole.”

Li Mu also got a map.

There were many routes on the maps. At first glance, it looked like a circuit map. Li Mu gasped. The Liuyun family had dug a huge underground maze. Were the people of the Liuyun family a group of ants?

“What do you mean?” Yan Yalun stared at Liuyun Wufeng and said. “Won’t your Liuyun family lead the way?”

Liuyun Wufeng said, “The members of the Liuyun family are not strong enough. If our people go down there, they will be a burden to you. Therefore, you have to rely on yourselves next.”

Before Yan Yalun spoke, Li Buhui, the Skyrocket Sword, one of the disciples of the Brotherhood of Swords, snorted and said, “If you’re afraid of death, get out of here. Don’t talk nonsense here.”

Yan Yalun’s face flushed. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something. But in the end, he obediently stood behind his brother Yan Ya’an and stared at Li Buhui’s back with hatred in his eyes.

Li Buhui was a famous Sword Whiz in Schuhauptstad, one of the best of the new generation in the Brotherhood of Swords. Whether in terms of sect power or individual strength, he was much better than Yan Yalun. Not to mention him, even his elder brother Yan Ya’an had to endure Li Buhui’s reprimand obediently.

Their identity and strength were no match for Li Buhui at all.

“Hey, someone has entered it.” Sister Jianing of the Holy Land of Delirious Voices looked at the huge mine hole and said, “It’s Li Mu from the Sanctuary of the Way. Humph! He only knows to show off. To get the inheritance of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless, he has risked his life. He deserves it if he dies.”

When the crowd looked over, they only saw Li Mu’s back. He had rushed in as fast as lightning.

“Let’s go.”

Someone shouted and turned into a gust of wind, rushing in very fast.

Li Buhui, the Skyrocket Sword, flashed and turned into a sword light. He rushed in at the fastest speed.

After that, the people from the Holy Land of Thousand Flames and the Holy Land of Delirious Voices also rushed into the mine hole.

Although there might be great danger, the future leaders of the Holy Lands were all bold and skilled. Moreover, they had all kinds of treasures given by their sects. They were very confident. Killing the red-haired monsters was just a piece of cake in their eyes. Finding the clues of the Darkest Soul-devouring Fire and the inheritance of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless was more important in their eyes.

Of course. No one naively thought they could obtain the complete inheritance of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless.

In the past thousands of years, there had been countless versions of the inheritance of the great Emperors on the Chaotic Continent. The Cosmic Emperor Deathless was a legendary great Emperor. There had been many pieces of news about the Emperor’s inheritance. It was hard to tell whether they were true or not. Sometimes, they could find some clues. But most of the time, they could find nothing.

It was the same this time.

Most of the future leaders of the Holy Lands came here to try their luck and complete the military’s task.

Even if the inheritance of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless was really in the mine hole, the younger generation couldn’t get it. Many old monsters would probably show up and start a bloody battle for it.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The rusted sword vibrated slightly.

Li Mu walked in the ant-hole-like mine with joy on his face.

The news from the Sanctuary of the Way was true.

Perhaps Wang Shiyu’s soul and psyche existed in this hole. That was because the rusted sword reacted. It was the same as the last time when he explored the scarlet Lunar Specter.

Along the way, Li Mu had killed more than a dozen red-haired monsters.

It was dim in the hole. The faint red light was rather strange as if having been dyed with blood. It caused poor visibility and extremely high temperature in the hole.

The deeper he went, the higher the temperature.

The red-haired monsters on the periphery were not powerful. They were generally in the Deity Realm, and Li Mu could kill them easily.

Even with the map, it was difficult to determine the route in the depths of the hole. There were forks everywhere. Every time he made a choice, a new route would appear. After choosing a few times, he could hardly find the way where he came from.

The complex terrain caused dozens of the future leaders of the Holy Land of the martial art to separate after entering the hole. They were like a handful of salt being sprinkled into the sea. It was very difficult for them to meet each other again.

Half an hour later, Li Mu gave up looking for the way by using the map provided by the Liuyun family. Instead, he went all the way in relying on the reaction of the rusted sword.

Roar!

A two-meter-tall red-haired monster rushed toward him and spat out flames.

However, before it could get close to Li Mu, a streak of broadsword light flashed. The red-haired monster was cut into two pieces and fell into the gravel.

Its blood flowed out and turned into orange flames, burning in the air.

“The red-haired monsters become more and more. Have I arrived at their lair?” Li Mu thought to himself.

Heavy footsteps could be heard.

Soon, more than a dozen red-haired monsters rushed over. Although in the dim tunnel, their vision was not affected. Their physical defense was amazing. With physical attacks, they smashed the rocks in the tunnel into powder easily.

Li Mu was afraid that these monsters would collapse the passage. He directly killed them one by one.

Li Mu’s guess turned out to be true.

There was indeed a nest of the red-haired monsters up ahead.

The huge underground mine was like an underground cave with three or four hundred red-haired monsters gathered there. To Li Mu’s surprise, the red-haired monsters here seemed to have some intelligence. They were quite organized and lined up. They surrounded a huge square rock, on which sat a red human-shaped shadow.

The underground was dim. The nest, which was strangely red, looked like flowing liquid. It blocked Li Mu’s sight. For a moment, he couldn’t see what the red human figure was.

Just as Li Mu broke into the nest, the red-haired monsters rushed madly toward him.

“It’s a good time to try the power of the Whitehair Swordsmanship. Sky Cracking Six!”

He used the skill in his heart. The sword light suddenly appeared.

The dim environment in the nest was like the darkness that filled the ground before dawn. The sword light was like the light the moment the sun rose. Tens of thousands of rays of skylight instantly crushed and eliminated all the darkness.

More than a hundred red-haired monsters still charged forward, but the vitality in their bodies had been wiped out by the sword light.

Boom!

...

Orange-red flames swirled.

The bodies of the dead red-haired monsters were on fire, like bright torches in the dark.

Li Mu was also stunned.

“The swordsmanship is very powerful.”

It was the first time for him to perform the Whitehair Swordsmanship against enemies. Its power was in his control. To his surprise, after he performed the swordsmanship, a kind of killing intent that the enemies could not resist appeared. Even Li Mu didn’t know how to resist it.

He put away the rusted sword and replaced it with a long broadsword, a Taoist instrument.

Although he had tried his best to turn the sword into a broadsword in the Sanctuary of the Way, it was far better to use a sword as a weapon than to use the long broadsword to perform the Whitehair Swordsmanship.

Li Mu continuously performed the Sky Cracking Six and killed all the red-haired monsters in the nest.

He came to square rock.

Only then did he see the person sitting on the rock. He was a normal person.

This man was probably in his fifties. His facial features were distinct, and he was wearing the elder uniform of the Liuyun family. His face was gaunt like the rind of a dried tree. However, his hair and eyebrows had turned scarlet, and terrifying heat flowed out of his body as if he were a huge fireball.

...

Li Mu remembered what Liuyun Wufeng had said before. Was the person the elder in the Great Way Realm of the Liuyun family who had been lost in the mine?

If that’s the case, wasn’t he in the Way Sage Realm now?

Li Mu was taken aback.

“So many red-haired monsters risked their lives to protect him. Could it be that he has already become the leader of the red-haired monsters? He has no red fur on his skin. It is obvious that there is some kind of evolution mutation in his body.”

However, Li Mu did not feel any danger from the person.

The rusted sword buzzed and vibrated more violently than ever before.

Li Mu slowly approached.

It was difficult for him to bear the scorching heat.

“Has this guy been burned to death?”

Li Mu criticized in his heart and ran his cultivation to resist.

He got closer and saw a faint red light flashing in the body of the elder of the Liuyun family. The light made his body as transparent as warm jade. There was a wisp of flame in his Dantian that could be seen. The flame flickered like candlelight.

“That is…” He was shocked.

The flame burned in his Dantian.

“This elder of the Liuyun family seems to be practicing martial arts or trying hard to integrate the flames in his Dantian. Is this the reason why he doesn’t move?”

Could this flame be…

Some footsteps could be heard.

When Li Mu turned around, he saw the people from the Holy Land of Thousand Flames had just arrived.

Yan Yalun was walking at the very front. He saw the empty nest. Finally, all of them saw the figure sitting on the square rock.

“Ha… That’s it! That’s really it! The Darkest Soul-devouring Fire turns out to be here.” Yan Yalun burst out laughing, his eyes shining with excitement.
