Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Liu Yalan's whereabouts are unknown, and such a big change has happened in Zhenbao Tower. What is hidden behind all this? Li Mu urgently needs to find out.

Just when Li Mu was threatening and questioning the clerk, an angry shout suddenly came from the inner hall: "Boy, this is not a place for you to act wild, get out!"

As the voice fell, an old man in white robes with a gloomy face walked out of the inner hall, staring fiercely at Li Mu, like a hungry beast, ready to pounce and tear him into pieces at any time.

Li Mu was not too surprised by the appearance of this old man who transformed into a spirit. Before entering the Li Treasure House, he had already cautiously let go of his spiritual consciousness to explore the situation inside.

"Oh! When did Li's Treasure House change its surname? Why didn't I know?" Li Mu smiled slightly and asked without fear.

"Who are you? What's your name? Tell me!"

Hearing what Li Mu said, the old man transformed into a god, his heart suddenly trembled, he stared at Li Mu and asked.

"I'm curious, who are you? Why do you occupy Li's treasure house? Where is Liu Yalan! Where did you take her?" Li Mu smiled but did not answer, his eyes as sharp as a sword, looking at the other party coldly and questioning again .

"What did you do to Sister Liu!" Xueer asked angrily, glaring at the old man.

At this time, the eyes of some customers and clerks in Baolou were attracted by the sudden quarrel here.

"Master! Miss Xue'er, you are finally back!" Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in the crowd, and a clerk rushed out with a face full of surprise. His eyes were fixed on Li Mu and Xue'er.

"It's the host! Host, you're back!"

"It's Miss Xue'er and the host!"

As the clerk's voice fell, several of the clerks also recognized Li Mu and Xue'er. Their faces showed expressions of joy and they exclaimed in surprise.

"Is Master Li back?" an old customer asked doubtfully.

"Who is it?" Another person looked over curiously.

"The original great master of the Li Clan Treasure House! The Li Clan Treasure House back then was not what it is now!"

…

Several old customers in the store began to talk about it, with expressions of memories and emotion on their faces, as if they had returned to the glorious era of Li's Treasure House in the past.

Hearing the discussion between the clerk and customers, the expression of the old man in white robe changed again and again. A trace of panic and uneasiness flashed across his originally gloomy face, as if some secret had been revealed.

"Are you Master Li?"

The old man in white robe looked at Li Mu with a sense of luck and asked tentatively.

Li Mu smiled slightly and did not answer his question directly. Instead, he turned around and bowed deeply to the old customers and clerks. He gave gifts to the customers in the store and said: "Everyone, I'm back. I've made everyone worried. I'm really worried. Sorry, the store is closed today, please come back another day!"

"It's really Master Li. It's great that Master Li is back!"

"Lord, you are back. Shopkeeper Liu was driven away by them!"

"Master, you have to make the decision for Shopkeeper Liu!"

…

Seeing Li Mu's move, the clerks and customers who had respect and expectations for him suddenly became excited.

Seeing this scene, the white-robed old man's face instantly turned pale, as if all the blood had been drained away. He knew he was finished, completely finished. He originally thought that he could revitalize the Liu family's prestige by occupying the Li Family Treasure House, but now, the original owner has returned. His heart is filled with regret and fear, but there is no way to escape at this moment.

"Tell me! Who are you! Where is Liu Yalan?" Li Mu turned around, his eyes like sharp swords directed at the old man in white robes, and asked.

The old man in white robe opened his mouth, his lips trembling, but he couldn't say a word. He had no face to face Li Mu's questions, let alone the questions about Liu Yalan's whereabouts. He lowered his head and wished he could make a hole in the ground and hide in it.

"Reporting to the owner of the building, this person is Liu Huaiyi, the ancestor of the Liu family. Shopkeeper Liu was kicked out of the treasure building by him." At this time, a master of weaponry who came out of the inner hall to watch the excitement reported to Li Mu.

"Oh? Ancestor of the Liu family?" A trace of doubt flashed in Li Mu's eyes. He looked at the old man in white robes in front of him curiously, and said puzzledly: "I have met the ancestor of the Liu family - Liu Huairen. Why, you are the head of the family now? ?”

"The ancestor of the Liu family died for some reason a few years ago, and now the Liu family is the head!" The weapon-refining master quickly responded to Li Mu's question and explained.

Hearing this, Li Mu frowned slightly. He was not interested in the changes in the Liu family, but now he had to face this reality.

Li Mu looked at the white-robed old man and ordered coldly: "I don't care what happens to your Liu family, but if you dare to invade my treasure building, you must pay the price! Tell me, where is Liu Yalan?"

The old man in white robes trembled. He knew that he could no longer escape Li Mu's questioning. He raised his head, looked into Li Mu's majestic eyes, and responded bitterly: "She is in the Liu family, and I did not hurt her..." "

"Let someone call her over!" Li Mu looked at the old man in white robe and signaled.

The old man in white robes quickly agreed and ordered a confidant to summon someone. The atmosphere in the Zhenbao Building suddenly became tense, and everyone was waiting for Liu Yalan's arrival.

After a while, the clerk hurried over with Liu Yalan.

As soon as Liu Yalan entered the Li Family Treasure Pavilion and saw Li Mu and Xue'er, her face showed a look of surprise, and she said happily: "Master, Miss Xue'er, you are finally back!"

"Sister Liu, are you okay?" Xueer quickly stepped forward, grabbed Liu Yalan's hand and asked with concern.

Liu Yalan glanced at the old man in white robe, shook her head and said, "I'm fine. He just put me under house arrest in Liu's house and did not cause any substantial harm to me."

Then, Liu Yalan turned to look at Li Mu and said with an apologetic expression: "Master, I'm really sorry that you have suffered such a loss. It's all my fault that I didn't protect the Zhenbao Building, so this happened."

"As long as everyone is fine, someone will naturally bear the responsibility for the loss of the treasure house!" Li Mu's eyes flashed with a cold light, he turned to look at the old man in white robe, and said coldly: "Since you didn't hurt Liu Yalan, I can I’ll give you a happy death, tell me, how do you want to die?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu used his spiritual power "Star Gathering Strike" to gather powerful spiritual power and turned it into an invisible whip, which struck the white-robed old man fiercely.

The old man in white robe felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. His face turned pale instantly. He reacted and was about to cast a spell to resist.

However, Li Mu's spiritual whip was too fast and powerful, and he was unable to react effectively at all. He could only watch helplessly as the invisible spiritual whip whipped towards him.

"Bang!" A crisp sound suddenly reverberated in the air. The old man in white robe stiffened, his eyes turned white, and his soul was instantly hit hard. His face was distorted with a painful expression, and his consciousness gradually fell into darkness.

The old man in white robe suddenly fell down weakly. There was no movement anymore, and the entire treasure building fell into a dead silence.

In the store, all the clerks and customers were shocked by Li Mu's ruthless and sharp methods, and looked at Li Mu with eyes filled with awe.

"Master!" Liu Yalan couldn't help but yelled.

Li Mu glanced at everyone, then looked at Liu Yalan, and said calmly: "Have someone carry him down and lock him up. You can quickly clarify the losses of the Zhenbao Building and rearrange the accounts."

He originally wanted to see the business situation of Li's Treasure House, so he left. Unexpectedly, such a thing would happen in the Treasure House, and Li Mu couldn't help but feel helpless.

"Yes!" Liu Yalan respectfully obeyed the order and watched Li Mu lead Xueer to the inner hall.

Afterwards, Liu Yalan immediately ordered the clerk to carry the old man in white robe down, handle it properly, and began to fully take over the operation of Li's Zhenbao Building, and began to deal with a series of follow-up matters of Zhenbao Building.

Li's Zhenbaolou store closed urgently that day for rectification, claiming it was for internal decoration and inventory inventory. However, those customers who witnessed the incident knew it well, and they became the disseminators of the news. Tell the people around you the amazing scene that happened in the Zhenbao Building vividly.

News of the return of Li Clan Treasure House, Master Li, and the Grand Master of Artifact Refining immediately spread to Ten Thousand Stars Island.

Naturally, this matter could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of some interested people. They used various means to find out the details and inside story of the incident, making the news spread quickly from a certain channel as if it had wings.

In the Ten Thousand Stars Sea, on a remote island, a piece of classical architecture stands.

At this time, Hong Shuang, who was wearing a red dress, was sitting at the table, flipping through a yellowed ancient book. Suddenly, the communication mirror she was wearing buzzed, breaking the tranquility of the air.

Hong Shuang's complexion changed slightly, and she immediately threw herself into her consciousness, quickly read the message attached to the teleportation mirror, and her expression immediately became serious.

Soon, Hong Shuang's expression became serious, her eyes shone with a complicated light, and her heart was filled with inexplicable emotions, including excitement, anxiety, uneasiness, and complex feelings intertwined with various emotions.

"He's coming! He's coming!" Hongshuang muttered absently. The news was like a thunder, exploding in her heart, as if reminding her of the major changes she was about to face.

The news came so suddenly that Hong Shuang even hoped that he would never appear. However, ten years later, that man returned to the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Stars. His return will undoubtedly break the existing peace and trigger a terrible bloody storm.

This person is an extremely important existence in the eyes of the Nine Demons Sect and the Blood Demon Clan. He holds the key to unlocking the land of Shuiyuan Daojun Shuifu. The Nine Demons Sect and the Blood Demon Clan have been tracking and paying attention to this person. He hopes to get the key to the sealed place from him.

However, after this person went to the Zhongzhou Spiritual Realm, he completely disappeared and could not be pursued. The hope of the Nine Demon Sect and the Lord of the Blood Demons was dashed. They had to turn to other directions to find the sealing place and find a breakthrough.

However, in the past ten years, they have achieved almost nothing and have fallen into unprecedented difficulties.

Now, once the news spreads that this person has returned to the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Stars, the Lord of the Nine Demons Sect and the Blood Demon will definitely capture him at any cost.

In ten years, the Nine Demon Sect and the Blood Demon Clan have accumulated huge underground forces in the Ten Thousand Stars Sea, and their power has penetrated into every corner of this sea area. Once the news of this person's return to the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Stars is known to the Lord of the Blood Demon, his anger will sweep across the entire sea like a huge storm. Countless innocent creatures will suffer in this disaster. A bloody storm broke out in the sea.

Thinking of this, Hongshuang couldn't help but feel palpitations in her heart. She seemed to have seen the bloody and cruel scene and heard the wailing and crying of countless creatures. She kind of wanted to hide the news, not wanting the entire Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Stars to become a place of war.

However, the consequences of hiding such important news were too serious for her to bear.

Hongshuang took a deep breath and thought about it again. She stood up indifferently and prepared to report the news to the higher-ups of the sect.

——

In the main hall of a mysterious magic palace, dim lights barely illuminated the surroundings, and the atmosphere was strange and depressing.

In the center of the hall, sitting on the main seat was an old man wearing black robes and a sinister face - Wutian Demon Ancestor. At this time, his whole person seemed to be integrated with the surrounding darkness, with only his deep and cold eyes. A cold light flickered in the darkness.

Wutian Demon Ancestor was playing with a black token in his hand. The surface of this token was as smooth as a mirror, and inside it was recorded the news about Ten Thousand Stars Island reported by Hong Shuang.

"This person is on Ten Thousand Stars Island now, right?" Demon Ancestor Wutian looked at the information presented by Hong Shuang, his voice was low and hoarse, and his originally unruffled eyes suddenly revealed a look of deep-seated hatred and incomprehension. Concealing the excitement, his hands trembled slightly, as if he was trying to control his emotions, and he seemed to be recalling the hatred of the past.

"Yes! Demon Ancestor! The news was sent over as soon as possible. After repeated confirmation, he is still on the island at this moment." Hongshuang replied respectfully, with a tremor in his voice, as if he was affected by Wutian Demon Ancestor's emotions. Infect.

"Okay!" Demon Ancestor Wutian sneered, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Wutian Demon Ancestor suddenly stood up, his black robe spread out like the wings of a bat, giving people an invisible sense of oppression. He looked at the subordinates beside him, and his voice revealed an unquestionable majesty: "Xue Wu, Blood Mist, you will follow me to ask the Demon Lord to come out of seclusion. This operation must be foolproof.

"The rest of you, get ready. The army will set out to attack Ten Thousand Stars Island immediately and lay down a dragnet. This person must not be allowed to escape again." Wutian Demon Ancestor looked at his other subordinates and gave stern instructions.

"Follow the law!"

All the demon lord's subordinates responded to the orders one after another, and the evil spirit filled the sky.

As Wutian Demon Ancestor's order was issued, the entire Nine Demon Sect immediately became busy. Black shadows shuttled through the darkness, and the air was filled with a kind of chill, and a tense atmosphere was approaching for the war.

Wutian Demon Ancestor, along with Xuewu and Xuewu, walked quickly to the depths of the hall, preparing to go to the Blood Pond Holy Land to respectfully invite the Lord of the Blood Demons, Dana, to come out of seclusion. (End of chapter)
