Chapter 747 - Settling Old Grudges

Chapter 747 Settling Old Grudges

“All you need to do is to remain on standby.”

Bai Yuanshou’s voice was low and cold.

The Lady of the Clouds had broken into the prison of the Heavenly Fox Temple several times to rescue someone. The last time she came, Bai Yuanshou took action himself, but he failed to catch her.

The people in the outside world burst into an uproar when they heard the news.

While they exclaimed over the shocking power of the Lady of the Clouds, they doubted that Bai Yuanshou failed to live up to his great reputation as the most powerful master on the White Earth.

Therefore, this time, he set up ambushes from all sides to prevent the Lady of the Clouds from escaping again.

He wanted to capture this woman himself.

He somewhat intended to prove himself.

The Lady of the Clouds was now the number one accomplice of Li Mu in the entire Imperium Vulpes Divine City. All parties were paying close attention to her.

After seeing Bai Yuanshou’s posture, the top four masters of the Heavenly Deity Clan temporarily gave up the idea of taking action. Instead, they cooperated with masters of the Heavenly Fox Clan to set up tactical deployments and barriers to prevent the Lady of the Clouds from escaping again.

Li Mu blended in with the guards of the Heavenly Fox Clan. He did not rush into action.

He believed that the large clans setting up ambushes must be well prepared, and their strengths were definitely not as simple as it seemed. Therefore, he planned to observe them for a while and figure out their trump cards before taking action. He had to take action as quick as lightning strike to get out of here successfully.

As expected, Li Mu soon found that the Heavenly Fox Clan had set up many secret traps around the Heavenly Fox Temple, including the alchemical formation, which was like a chess piece on the chessboard. The temporary large formation quietly spread out.

Moreover, Li Mu saw an old acquaintance.

It was the young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan, Huangfu Chengdao.

He and his two protectors were among the silver-armored guards of the Heavenly Fox Clan.

He hosted the setup and operation of this formation.

He did not notice that Li Mu was approaching.

He raised his head and looked at the white figure like a Goddess of the Nine Heavens in the sky. Jealousy and desire welled up and surged through him like a viper’s venom.

He had never expected that the Lady of the Clouds, whom he considered a gentle and well-behaved woman needing other’s care and protection, would have such incredible strength.

Even Bai Yuanshou, who definitely ranked among the top five in the Ziwei Star Zone, fought nip and tuck with the Lady of the Clouds.

“She’s become stronger.”

“Her current strength is greater than that she had when she broke into the prison a couple of days ago. Her strength has reached a new level.”

The two protectors of the Heavenly Deity Clan raised their heads and watched the battlefield in the sky, looking shocked.

Upon hearing that, Huangfu Chengdao’s heart skipped a beat. He said, “How could it be possible? Could it be that she’s the reincarnation of a god?”

A protector said, “It’s terrifying. It seems that her strength will improve with time without the need of practicing. Two days ago, Mr. Bai, the Pontifex Vulpes, could suppress her, but today, they’re already on a par with each other.”

“Indeed. If it goes on like this, I’m afraid that Mr. Bai will be no match for her after two days,” another protector said in confusion.

Huangfu Chengdao’s heart pounded violently. He said, “Could it be that she... she possesses some secret skills that can help her improve her cultivation level and fighting power?”

The hearts of the three of them were burning with passion.

“No matter what, we must capture this woman and take her to the Heavenly Deity Clan. We can’t let her fall into the hands of other clans. As long as we can find out the secret behind the rapid growth in her strength, the Heavenly Deity Clan will dominate the Ziwei Star Zone, become invincible, overtake the six major clans and become the only ruler in the future,” a protector said arrogantly.

Huangfu Chengdao nodded and said, “You’re right. Her everything belongs to me.”

Although there was a sound insulation barrier when they were talking, Li Mu heard what they discussed.

Li Mu was standing a few meters away. After hearing their discussion, he had already sentenced the three of them to death in his mind.

However, he did not make any move rashly.

He carefully inspected the periphery of the battlefield again. After making sure that the ancestors of the six major clans were not hiding in the dark, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, the gold and silver light flashed around him.

“Bro, I’m back.” The Gold and Silver King shrunk into a grain of rice, hovered by Li Mu’s ear and sent him a secret voice message.

“Have you sent Bu Feiyan and her sister to the posthouse?” Li Mu asked.

“Sure. You can always trust me.” The Gold and Silver King boasted. “The Posthouse Officer said that he had arranged a retreat and would send the two girls out of the Imperium Vulpes Divine City in advance. He will wait for you in the posthouse. The retreat route has been opened. As soon as you get back, you can immediately leave the White Earth.”

Li Mu nodded.

In this case, he had no more worries and could go on a killing spree.

He took action secretly to restrain some masters of the Heavenly Fox Clan hiding in the dark.

The crowd concentrated their attention on the battle in the sky. Moreover, Li Mu was incredibly powerful now, and the blood bat king was here to support him. For these reasons, nobody noticed what he did.

“Young Master, it seems that the Pontifex Vulpes is unable to defeat this demonic woman. Why don’t we take action?” One of the protectors said secretly.

Huangfu Chengdao shook his head and said, “Let’s wait and see. We’d better take action when both of them are injured. Ha-ha, it would be even better if Bai Yuanshou gets injured.”

“Good idea, Young Master.” The other protector nodded.

Huangfu Chengdao smiled. “Our ancestor has obtained the divine blood. He is in a closed-door training now, trying to refine the divine blood and integrate it into his body. Once he becomes a True God, we can break free from the restraints of the oath. We can also make our way into the chaotic battlefield, enter the Star Graveyard, exterminate the Dark Yellow Army and take possession of their divine treasures for our use.”

The two protectors nodded their heads.

After the experience in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm, their young master had undergone some positive changes. He could better keep his composure now.

While they were talking, someone suddenly stretched out his hand and patted Huangfu Chengdao on the shoulder.

Huangfu Chengdao frowned as he turned around to look.

A young man wearing the armor of Heavenly Fox Clan’s prison guards was standing a step away from him and staring at him with a faint smile.

“You are...” He initially thought that it was a member of the Heavenly Fox Clan, but somehow he felt that this person’s face seemed a little familiar to him. At the next second, he suddenly realized who it was and exclaimed, “It’s you... Li Yidao, no, Li Mu, how come you are still alive?”

He had seen Li Mu’s real face in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm.

Li Mu grinned and said, “We meet again. I’m not dead yet. Are you happy? Are you surprised?”

Huangfu Chengdao’s soul almost left his body. He immediately drew back.

“Kill him. Kill him right now!” He shouted loudly.

The two protectors beside him also came to their senses at this time.

“Li Mu is still alive. However, according to the ancestors’ information, they smashed him into powder with their own hands in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm. What went wrong?”

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Swords flashed like lightning.

The two top-level protectors in the King Realm took action at the same time.

It didn’t matter how Li Mu came back to life.

He had shown up. The most important thing was to kill him.

The two top-level protectors in the King Realm thought that it was very easy for them to deal with an inferior who hadn’t even entered the King Realm.

Huangfu Chengdao thought the same way.

He stabilized his body in an instant.

However, he was shocked to see that Li Mu slashed at the two protectors like cutting radishes that could not move. They were cut into four pieces, which turned into a pool of blood and disappeared like a gust of wind.

“What?”

Huangfu Chengdao’s pupils constricted abruptly.

He subconsciously rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was hallucinating.

“Do you think I will show up if I don’t have absolute confidence?” Li Mu started at Huangfu Chengdao and slowly approached him, saying, “It’s time to end the conflict between us.”

“You...” Huangfu Chengdao cried out in horror and turned around to escape.

As he ran, he shouted loudly, “Come over here. Li Mu is right here. He is not dead yet. Come on! Kill him...”

Li Mu watched Huangfu Chengdao escape with a faint smile on his face, but he did not chase Huangfu Chengdao.

Huangfu Chengdao soon found that no matter how loudly he shouted, the people around him did not respond as if they could not hear him at all. Moreover, no matter how hard he tried to escape, he just couldn’t pull away from Li Mu.

“How could it be?”

Fear and panic drowned him like a flood.

He turned around, looked at Li Mu and asked, “Are you... are you a human or a ghost?” “Could it be that Li Yidao’s soul has become a ghost and come back for revenge?”

Li Mu shook his head.

“He is known as the top Heavenly Legend in the Ziwei Star Zone, but his mind and will are really as fragile as tofu scraps. As a practitioner, he is afraid of ghosts... Such a person does not deserve to be my opponent at all.”

“I forgot to tell you something. Thanks to your ancestor, I have stepped into the King Realm,” Li Mu said.

Huangfu Chengdao suddenly realized something. “Is this... your Potential Realm? What kind of Potential Realm is it?”

“How come it can actually isolate time and space?”

Li Mu slowly raised his broadsword. “You’ll know that when you die.”

“No, no. Please don’t kill me.” Under the protection of his clan, Huangfu Chengdao had never imagined that he would have to face death.

He was so scared that he fell to his knees and implored, “I swear I won’t be your enemy anymore, and I won’t covet Lady of the Clouds... You’re here to rescue someone, right? I’m willing to cooperate with you and rescue all your imprisoned relatives and friends...”

Li Mu shook his head mercilessly. “Don’t bother. I can do it myself.”

“No, please listen to me...” Huangfu Chengdao still wanted to say something.

The broadsword flashed.

His head fell to the ground with a thud.

Then, his body and head turned into a pool of clear water.

After entering the King Realm, Li Mu could control the Broadsword Intent of the 24 Solar Terms very proficiently and use it at will.

After killing the three of them, Li Mu withdrew his Potential Realm.

He continued to search for the next target.

The masters of various clans who had set up ambushes around were still attentively watching the fight between the two masters in the sky. The Lady of the Clouds, also known as the most beautiful woman in the Ziwei Star Zone, was peerlessly beautiful and graceful. Countless people wanted to have a look at her. Even when she was fighting in the sky, the peerlessly beautiful figure attracted the attention of countless people.

Li Mu killed all the masters that might pose a threat in the surrounding areas.

The Broadsword Intent of the five elements and the 24 Solar Terms turned all of them into wind, water, rain, and snow, which disappeared without a trace.

Li Mu raised his head and looked at the two masters fighting in the sky.
