In a few blinks of an eye, he had already caught up with the black-robed man. In the midst of the black-robed man's miserable cry, his head was pierced through, and with a turn of its body in the distance, he flew back into Li Mu's hands.
With a flash of purple light, Li Mu looked at the purple throwing knife that was not stained with blood and laughed complacently. Then, he kept the flying dagger and the Vermillion Bird Mirror back into his storage ring.
"Brother Li is really good, he can actually annihilate four opponents at once!"
Shen Cai Qing looked at the four black-robed men who had turned to dust, and only recovered from their shock after a long while. The gazes he shot at Li Mu were filled with admiration."I was just joking. You dare to attack my Gold Jade Sect's disciples, you're courting death!"
Li Mu coldly snorted. He walked over to the black clothed man's corpse that had his head crushed by one of his claws and squatted down to search his body. After a while, aside from taking out a few pieces of crystal s and a few low grade restoration pellets, Li Mu also took out a jade tablet.
The jade tablet looked like it was made of white jade, there was a "Sky" carved on the front and a "Heng" carved on the back, it was similar to the Gold Jade Sect's inner disciple token.
"Tian Heng? Senior Sister Shen, do you know the origin of the two words, Tian Heng?
Li Mu threw the white jade token back to Shen Cai Qing, and asked with a strange expression. He was not very clear about the division of power in the Great Qin Nation, and it could be said that other than knowing about the Gold Jade Sect, he knew very little about the other sects."Tian Heng? This should be a disciple of a second-rate sect in the Qin Empire, the Heaven's Expanse Pavilion. I didn't think that they would actually target us. But it doesn't make sense, the strongest person in the Everlasting Pavilion is only at Tongxuan realm, if they were to dare, they should not dare to go against my Gold Jade Sect! "
Looking at the white jade token in his hand, Shen Cai Qing asked with confusion.
"Could it be that an even more powerful sect is secretly ordering us to do this?" Li Mu did not speak of the matter regarding Heartless Palace Zhu Lin.
"It's not impossible. There are many cultivation sects in the Great Qin Nation, and quite a few second-rate ones like the Heaven's Expanse Pavilion. Although all of these sects exist independently on the surface, no one knows which first-rate sect they secretly belong to."
"When I return to the Gold Jade Sect, I will definitely report this matter to the sect's elders! You dare to make a move on my Gold Jade Sect Disciple, how can I let this matter rest easy with him! "Shen Cai Qing kept the white jade token in his hand, and said fiercely.
"This is good as well, but these poor b.a.s.t.a.r.ds are really f * cking poor. They only have a few crystal on them, it's such a waste of my effort!"
Li Mu searched through the items left behind by the four black-robed men, only to find a total of around thirty crystal. This made him curse in his heart, and he did not let go of the weapons of the other four people.
"Look at what Brother Li is saying, how could killing these four people be a waste of time, wasn't this saving me? Heaven's Pavilion is only a second-rate power, so of course the crystal on their disciples can't compare to our Gold Jade Sect Disciple."
Shen Cai Qing laughed lightly, the girl's appearance was astonis.h.i.+ng, althoughhe was not as beautiful as Leng Qingcheng, she was still a rare beauty, and as he chuckled at Li Mu, it made Li Mu stunned, and he secretly scolded his, "This girl is a demon."
"Listening to what you said, it can't be that I will get any benefits even if I save you, right? I even forged the weapon in your hands for you, what benefits can you get!?" I wouldn't dare to take it even if I were to sacrifice my life. "Li Mu said as his lips curled into a smile. At the same time, he took out a medicinal pellet and swallowed it down, although killing the four black robed men was not crippled in long, his true essence was still exhausted. Even though the true essence in his body was still abundant, in this kind of environment, he had no choice but to maintain himself at his peak state at all times, in order to prevent any mishaps.
"Oh, Brother Li, what you said made me a little unhappy, after all, I, Shen Cai Qing am also a young miss of the Great Qin ten great families, so is it possible that I, Shen Cai Qing, am not worthy of you?" Shen Cai Qing said while pretending to be angry."Don't... I, Li Mu, do not have that intention, Senior Sister Shen has the talent of a recluse, and is the young miss of the Shen family, I, Li Mu, am not strong enough to take that, that's why I said that I do not dare to take it, but I did not say that you are not worthy of me! "
Li Mu saw that Shen Cai Qing was pretending to be angry, and immediately shook his head, he had no interest in fighting with the girls, so he turned around and pretended to look at the nearby terrain.
Seeing Li Mu like this, Shen Cai Qing couldn't help but laugh, then took out a piece of crystal, and started to extract the vitality inside, recovering her true essence. After fighting with the four black robed men for so long, she had already lost a lot of true essence, and now was the perfect time to recover her true essence.Several hours later, Li Mu and Shen Cai Qing rode a Single Horned Wind Chaser Horse each, galloping in the boundless Wasteland. Their destination was still the Heavenly Demon Valley.
"Senior Sister Shen, it is said that this Heavenly Demon Valley is one of the places where demon beasts gather the most in the Great Qin Empire's cultivation world. However, why are we in the Western Wasteland? Look at the barren land here, the desert and desert are everywhere, and the demon beasts shouldn't be concentrated in this kind of place."Riding on the Wind Chaser Horse, Li Mu asked Shen Cai Qing. The other party was a member of the Great Qin Nation's top ten clans, and had been born and bred in the Great Qin Nation. Their knowledge in this area should be much richer than his.
Hehe, Brother Li, you don't get it, right? As the saying goes, when things reach the extremes, they reverse, and in this barren land, one can get rich in vitality instead. You have never been to the Heavenly Demon Valley, so you do not know, that place is an extremely dense region of vitality.
"The demon clan and the human race have been enemies since ancient times, especially some of the Demonic cultivators who have gained intelligence hated our Human Pract.i.tioners. Normally, when we meet them, they would either die or be killed by us, and the reason for that is naturally because our Human Pract.i.tioners had hunted a large number of Demonic Beasts."Because we humans are born with a high level of intelligence and have an advantage in numbers, good territory in the world of cultivation is already occupied by us cultivators. As for the demon race, we can only take a step back and live in those desolate lands, or they can gather in groups and gather in places with decent amount of spirit energy. As time pa.s.ses, more and more demon beasts have gathered in these places. Shen Cai Qing smiled and explained.
"I understand, but I've read some ancient texts before, the strength of the demon race shouldn't be this weak, right? It's said that some of the greater demons contain Holy Spirit Bloodline and after they awaken, they are comparable to Holy Spirits, so how could they avoid the human race?" Li Mu once again voiced out his doubts.
Brother Li's words are not without reason, but you must know that the limitations of demi-humans are still great. First of all, demonic beasts that have not reached the level of level 5 Manifestation are unable to awaken their intelligence, and second, although there are many low-level demonic beasts, their intelligence is low, and there are also limited number of high-grade demons. Even if humans were to be born, there would still be hidden experts.
"Under so many disadvantageous conditions, coupled with the constant hunting and suppression by our human race, how powerful do you think they will be?"Shen Cai Qing said in an extremely confident and joking manner. It was unknown if it was because he was influenced by his seniors or if it was something that had been pa.s.sed down since ancient times in the human cultivation world, he had a natural sense of superiority towards demons.
"Hahaha, how laughable! I never thought that the current cultivation world would look at the Monster race in such a manner. How ignorant!"
The disdainful voice came out from Li Mu's mind, it was filled with disdain towards Shen Cai Qing's words."Luan Tian, isn't what he said the truth?"
Li Mu noticed that Huntian had suddenly spoken, and asked curiously. He had never mentioned much about Hunchback Tian in this regard, so his understanding of this area was extremely lacking.
"Of course not, I will tell you sooner or later anyway. Demons, they are definitely a race that is not weaker than our human race, and in the ancient times, a great war broke out, resulting in the demise of the ancient cultivation system. After that, the Great Desolation Period, which was tens of thousands of years old, could be said to be the world of the demi-humans, and we, the human race, are just sheep waiting to be slaughtered."
"At that time, the demon clan treated us as food for blood, and countless battles between different races almost broke out, causing the Big Dipper to shatter. All sorts of Holy Spirits came out, such as the True Dragon, Divine Phoenix, peac.o.c.k, Heaven Battling Ape, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, Dragon Sparrow, Taotie, and so on."
"If it weren't for the fact that we, the ancestors of the humankind, created a cultivation system for the cultivation of the martial way, and used the natural Yuan Qi as the main force to enhance our strength step by step, we would have been wiped out in the Big Dipper by now."
"Later on, for some unknown reason, the Holy Spirit did not show up in the Big Dipper, nor did any of the Martial Dao Ancestor level experts show up. Some said that the upper echelons of both sides reached some kind of agreement, while others said that they all ascended to the legendary Heaven Realm together. No one knows the specific details, but there is one thing that is certain, the strength of the demon race is not weaker than our human race!"Hoodlum told Li Mu everything he knew, giving a very high evaluation of the Goblin Tribe.
"Then what happened in the ancient times? What is the ancient cultivation system? Although you have vaguely mentioned it before, I don't know what it is exactly." Li Mu's curiosity was piqued, and he continued to ask.
"The Primordial Era. "It is a dark history, and it is said that alien races invaded my Big Dipper. Ancient cultivators and demons joined hands to repel the alien tribes, but they also paid a heavy price because of this. The laws of this world were disrupted, and even the spirit veins that the ancient cultivators relied on were destroyed, which led to the desolation of the ancient cultivation world."
"Of course, this is only a legend that I've heard before. I don't know the specifics of it either. After all, the era is too long, and many facts and truths have been buried in the river of time."
When he mentioned the events of the ancient era, he couldn't explain it clearly and could only sigh.
"Boom!"Suddenly, a loud sound came from afar and pulled Li Mu back into the real world.
"What's going on!"
Suddenly, Li Mu was startled by the loud sound and he became alert, while Shen Cai Qing beside him also did the same. The two of them stopped their Wind Chasing Horses and looked in the direction of the sound at the same time.
