Chapter 988 Be Powerful
They were some familiar people.
The one at the front was the future leader of the Brotherhood of Swords, Li Buhui. He was followed by the future leaders of the other Holy Lands, including the two beauties of the Holy Land of Delirious Voices, Jianing and Shu Ying.
Li Mu felt strange that Yan Yalun, who had fled in panic like a homeless dog, did not run away. He came back with these people.
“Li Mu, why are you here?”
Jianing of the Holy Land of Delirious Voices was the first to question.
The others also fixed their eyes on Li Mu.
Li Buhui, the future leader of the Brotherhood of Swords, said, “Li Mu, junior fellow apprentice Yan Yalun from the Holy Land of Thousand Flames said that you used despicable means to assassinate his brother Yan Ya’an and the other four elders of the Holy Land of Thousand Flames to obtain the inheritance of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless. Is that true?”
Li Mu looked at Yan Yalun.
“How dare this idiot frame me here?”
“Yes. He killed them. He is a crazy guy. He was besieged by several red-haired monsters in the King Realm and was in danger. We saved him, but he launched a sneak attack to rob the Darkest Soul-devouring Fire. He killed my brother and several elders with cruel means and wanted to kill me. Fortunately, I escaped quickly.” Yan Yalun was covered in blood and cried loudly, “My brother held him back with his life so that I could escape and expose his evil deeds.”
“Nonsense!” Liuyun Wuxin shouted angrily, “You ambushed my Junior Chief first and were defeated by him. As a disciple of a great Holy Land, how can you lie? I feel ashamed for you.”
“Who are you?” Shu Ying asked.
Liuyun Wuxin said, “My name is Liuyun Wuxin, an elder of the Liuyun family.”
“Oh? Are you the elder that the patriarch of the Liuyun family spoke of? He said you were infected by evil poison and beyond cure.” Another future leader of the Flying Star Family asked. “You’ve recovered. How did you do that?”
“Humph! I’ve never been infected by evil poison. It is just a lie that Liuyun Wufeng made up to cover up his crimes,” Liuyun Wuxin was angry.
“Don’t listen to his nonsense. This person is a traitor to the Liuyun family. He is Li Mu’s lackey,” Yan Yalun roared.
Li Buhui, the future leader of the Brotherhood of Swords, said in an unfriendly tone, “Li Mu, please explain what happened here.”
Li Mu said flatly, “I’m not obliged to explain anything to you. Elder Liuyun, kill that trash, Yan Yalun, for me.”
“Okay, Junior Chief.”
Liuyun Wuxin followed the order and attacked directly.
He was an expert in the Way Sage Realm. Although he had been seriously injured in the fight with Liuyun Wufeng, he recovered very quickly. At this time, he took action. His fist print was as powerful as thunder and directly launched a killing blow.
“Young Master Li, please save me!” Yan Yalun shouted in panic. “You promised to protect me, so I agreed to come with you to accuse Li Mu. Please save me.”
Boom!
A beam of sword light shattered the fist print.
Li Buhui deserved to be the future leader of the Brotherhood of Swords. He could withstand the attack of Liuyun Wuxin, who was in the Way Sage Realm.
With a gloomy face, he pointed his long sword at Li Mu and said, “We haven’t made it clear, but you want to kill him. You are extremely cruel and merciless. Is this the style of the future leader of the Sanctuary of the Way?”
“Li Mu, are you trying to kill him because you feel guilty?” Sister Jianing from the Holy Land of Delirious Voices glared at Li Mu.
Li Mu said calmly, “Elder Liuyun, why did you stop?”
Liuyun Wuxin’s aura surged again as he attacked again.
Yan Yalun let out strange cries.
Li Buhui said angrily, “Humph! No wonder Commandery of Legion Kommodore put your name on the List of the Condemned of the Human Clan. Li Mu, you are indeed a cold-blooded killer. Unfortunately, I am here today. You are not allowed to kill the people of the Holy Land of Thousand Flames. You’d better give up and wait for us to investigate the matter clearly.”
As he spoke, he drew his sword.
The sword light was like thunder.
The sword stroke fended off all of Liuyun Wuxin’s attacks.
The future leader of the Brotherhood of Swords lived up to his reputation.
“Take action and capture Li Mu,” he ordered the future leaders of the other Holy Lands.
The future leader of the Holy Land of the Flying Star hesitated for a moment and said, “But he is from the Sanctuary of the Way.”
“It doesn’t matter. I’ll take responsibility. In the future, I’ll personally go to the Sanctuary of the Way to ask for punishment.” Li Buhui was nicknamed Skyrocket Sword. The Sword Whizzes of the Brotherhood of Swords always did things according to their hearts and had an extremely strong backbone. Li Buhui said, “If I let him go today, I’m afraid that we can’t investigate the murder of the Holy Land of Thousand Flames clearly.”
“Okay. Let’s attack together.” Sister Jianing from the Holy Land of Delirious Voices was eager to try.
She still remembered Li Mu’s scolding at the gate of the Liuyun Manor.
Seeing this scene, Yan Yalun laughed proudly and said provocatively, “Li Mu, although you schemed so much and you are powerful, you didn’t expect that you would fail. Ha… Justice is in the hearts of us.”
Li Mu frowned and said, “Elder Liuyun, stop.”
Liuyun Wuxin was stunned, but he still obeyed and retreated.
Yan Yalun was even happier. “What do you mean? Are you afraid?”
He was deliberately provoking Li Mu.
Actually, he didn’t want to come back to face Li Mu. However, when he escaped, he met Li Buhui, the straightforward Sword Whiz. After some inquiries, he believed Yan Yalun’s words and let him come back to confront Li Mu. Li Buhui also repeatedly promised that no matter what happened, he would protect Yan Yalun. The future leader of the Brotherhood of Swords was extremely important, so Yan Yalun came back in fear. However, he didn’t expect that the situation would be like this. He was overjoyed.
If he could take the opportunity to aggravate the conflict between Li Mu and those future leaders of the Holy Lands, perhaps he could get rid of Li Mu.
Li Mu glanced at Yan Yalun and looked at Li Buhui. Suddenly, he laughed and said, “Why don’t you help me kill him?” He pointed at Yan Yalun.
Li Buhui said, “This joke is not funny.”
Yan Yalun laughed loudly as well. “Ha… You madman. How could Young Master Li…”
Before Yan Yalun finished his words, Li Mu took out a token from his pocket.
The expression of Li Buhui, the Skyrocket Sword, suddenly changed, and his eyes lit up. He stared at Li Mu in disbelief and said, “How could you have this token?”
Li Mu said, “What do you think?”
Li Buhui said, “This…”
He couldn’t figure it out.
It was the token of the number one Sword Whiz of the Brotherhood of Swords. It had a strong binding power to the Sword Whizzes. Seeing this token was equal to seeing the Sword Savant. Li Buhui could not violate the requirements of the holder.
The future leaders of the other Holy Lands didn’t know what was going on, but they noticed something strange.
Li Mu said, “Do you need me to say it again?”
Li Buhui frowned, showing his inner entanglement. His eyes were full of gloom as he said, “I once swore that I would never go against the laws and justice of the Human Clan. I…”
Li Mu said, “That’s great. The person I want you to kill should have died a long time ago.”
Li Buhui said, “But…”
“Stop saying that word,” Li Mu said. “I don’t want to say it a third time. Do you think such a token will appear in the hands of a sinful person?”
Li Buhui was stunned.
He slowly turned his head and looked at Yan Yalun.
At this time, Yan Yalun also realized that the situation was bad. He stepped back slightly and said, “You said that no matter what, you would protect me. You can’t kill me.”
Li Buhui turned to look at Li Mu again.
He was still hesitating.
At this time, more than half of Li Mu’s True Energy had been restored. He moved. With a flash of broadsword light, Yan Yalun’s head flew out, and his headless body fell to the ground. Blood flowed out, and his limbs twitched.
“In the future, if you want to protect a person, you should find out if he is a good person or not at first. Otherwise, even if you were sold, you would help others move fairy crystals.”
Li Mu glanced at Li Buhui.
Li Buhui lowered his head and remained silent. No one knew what he was thinking.
Then, Li Mu looked at the two women from the Holy Land of Delirious Voices.
Sister Shu Ying opened her mouth, about to say something.
Li Mu directly hacked with his broadsword.
Swoosh!
The light of the broadsword flashed.
Sister Jianing felt her scalp turn cold.
A strand of black hair fluttered down.
“You…” She looked at Li Mu in shock and anger.
Li Mu said, “You’ve just entered Jianghu and don’t know the rules. I can forgive you once or twice, but I can’t forgive you all the time. Don’t think that everyone in the world should be good to you whatever you do. Except for your senior fellow apprentice and those who covet your beauty, no one else should give in to you. I’m teaching you a lesson this time. You’d better be smart and control your temper in the future. Otherwise, I’ll cut off your head next time.”
Jianing was furious, but she didn’t dare to say anything more. She could only stare at Li Mu and make eye contact with him, only to see the indifference and disdain in Li Mu’s eyes.
The look in his eyes hurt her heart.
Eventually, she slowly lowered her head and did not dare to see Li Mu’s eyes again.
“Let’s go,” Li Mu said to Liuyun Wuxin.
He had found a part of Wang Shiyu’s soul and psyche. It meant his biggest goal had been achieved, so he felt relaxed. As for the truth of the strange incident in Liuyun Manor, he would leave it to the other Holy Lands and the military to deal with it. He just needed to go back to the Sanctuary of the Way and report what had happened roughly.
Liuyun Wuxin followed behind Li Mu.
At this moment, the figure who had been sitting quietly in the pattern of the Yang Fish and ignored, suddenly opened his eyes.
“Young man, wait a minute.”
The deep and hoarse voice sounded like the cold wind blowing through the rocks in the desert.
Suddenly, everyone reacted, their eyes landing on this figure.
Li Mu stopped, turned around, and cursed in his heart. Just now, he focused on lecturing others but forgot that there was another figure in the Eight Trigrams of Yin and Yang Fish area. Before the figure opened his mouth, there was no breath or fluctuation. He was like a rock. Unconsciously, Li Mu ignored this person.
“Young man, thank you for breaching the formation and saving me.”
The strange figure slowly stood up.
At this time, Li Mu found the man’s hair had grown dozens of meters, hanging around his body like threads and covering his whole body. The white hair was thick. Through the hair, a face that was quite similar to that of Liuyun Wufeng could be vaguely seen.
“Who are you?” Li Mu asked vigilantly.
“Ha… Little guy, don’t be afraid. I mean no harm.” The strange man raised his hand and stretched out his palm from his hair. Then, he pushed aside the hair covering his face, revealing his face.
When Liuyun Wuxin saw the man’s face, he suddenly let out a strange cry, and his body trembled violently.
