<h4>Chapter 409 Deadly Pursuit</h4>
Li Mu abruptly rose to his feet and strode to the entrance of the hall.
He opened the Third Eye and caught sight of a streak of silver light shooting in the direction of Lord Virtuous the Eighth’s residence. The light contained the steeling force of the Great Way, as though it would snatch away that chunk of space. The killing intent in that light was also inconceivable.
“Who ising?”
A vortex of thunder and lightning quickly appeared in Li Mu’s Third Eye. Then, a sh of purple lightning zoomed out and crushed right with that jet of silver light.
Up in the void, the force of the Divine Way swirled feverishly.
“Ah? Which fellow is there?” An icy voice rang in Li Mu’s ear as the silver light spun. The tone sounded quite startled.
But Li Mu did not answer.
The vortex of the purple lightning reappeared in the Third Eye, slowly rotating like a gxy. Next, another bolt of purple thunder and lightning darted out.
“Thunder and lightning magic art? Are you a fellow from the Thunder Hall? You guys have alsonded on this? I am Yue Guoxiang, from the Tianyi Pce. Please pardon me for my mistake.” That icy voice speedily retreated before heading in the northwest.
Li Mu snorted. The vortex of thunder and lightning in the Third Eye spun even faster. Due to the mighty power of thunder and lightning, the air and light around Li Mu were distorted. Standing next to him, Lord Virtuous the Eighth and the others felt their heart banging hard against their ribs in fear. They all hurriedly backed off.
“It is impolite not to reciprocate.” Li Mu yelled.
A sh of purple lightning burst out of the Third Eye like a divine dragon. It quickly caught up with that jet of silver light streaking in the northwest and smashed into it. The silver light exploded in the sky, issuing blinding beams of light as though another sun just rose from the horizon.
“Aargh! I won’t forget what you’ve done to me today. Sometimeter, I’lle and exchange notes with you!”
In a shrilling howl of pain, that icy, spiteful voice carried over.
Then, that dazzling silver light gradually dispersed.
“Howe he is still alive?”
Li Mu slowly closed the Third Eye between his brows as the purple thunder and lightning vanished.
It was the first time he had used the Eye of Purple Thunder and Lightning against an opponent since he mastered that skill. If being hit by his blow, even a practitioner at the same level as Yingshan Snow-eagle, the Emperor’s Broadsword should be mutted and on the verge of dying. The new skill was, after all, a real immortals’ art. But to Li Mu’s utter disbelief, that man issuing silver light was merely lightly injured.
Li Mu was certain that the man glowing silver was a real alien.
He did not belong to that world. He had juste to the from outer space.
Yue Guoxiang, from Tianyi Pce?
He deliberately bore that name in mind.
“Sage Li, what that...” Lord Virtuous the Eighth and the others edged nervously toward Li Mu. They were still shaken from the previous scene. The power shooting at the residence carried a destructive aura. If it had not been for Li Mu’s intervention, perhaps the entire ce would be torn into bits.
“I reckon that streak of silver light has something to do with the inexplicable missing ofrge poptions Your Highness just mentioned...” Li Mu suggested.
“Ah?” Lord Virtuous the Eighth was staggered. “That’s the strong demon stirring up trouble?”
Li Mu observed Lord Virtuous the Eighth’s face and saw no trace of deception.
In fact, as Li Mu’s spiritual force has prated to the third tier of the Xiantian Skill, even a Sage could not hide his true thoughts from his spiritual force if his mind was not perfectly peaceful. Obviously, Lord Virtuous the Eighth truly did not know that.
“I’ll soon be back.”
With a stir of his mind, Li Mu turned into a jet of light and headed for the northwest to pursue the silver light.
That silver light was clearly intercepting all the creatures near the lord’s residence. He was grinding all the living souls in the vicinity like grinding flour. The killing intent it carried could not be denser. That man was absolutely up to no good.
Plus, as he was an alien from outer space, Li Mu felt more eager to have a fight against him.
He would not flinch if he had to kill that demon.
In a second, Li Mu crossed several kilometers.
Tracing the aura of that silver light, he soon saw aplex built with white stones ahead.
That silver figure suddenly disappeared into a white pce that upied several hundred acres ofnd. On all sides of the white pce stationed the imperial army. On the other side of the white walls, strands of the invisible Divine Way aura were drifting and whirling. And the walls of the pce and the nearby buildings were all giving off the aura of some tactical deployment of the Divine Way.
“The imperial army is here. Is that silver figure one of the royals of the Northern Song?”
Li Mu overlooked the pce from a hundred meters above. Being wrapped by flowing Taoist patterns, he waspletely invisible to the people on the earth.
“Oh?
Tianyi Pce?”
All of a sudden, Li Muid eyes on the characters engraved in the que hanging at the front gate of the most magnificent white hall at the center of theplex. It read Tianyi Pce. That reminded him of what Wang Shiyu once told him—the before-the-era relics of the Tao Te Hall in Daoyin Temple on Mount Oxhead had been stored in Tianyi Pce, Lin’an, and the Tianyi Pce was also the new homnd of the Northern Song’s royal family.
“Now that I’ve aplished the immortals’ boxing method, and my Natural Invisible Body-Broken Sword Intent has also made great progress, and I’ve newly gained the Eye of the Purple Thunder and Lightning, there is no ce that I can’t go in the vast world, is there?”
Li Mu smiled, then, headed directly for the whiteplex.
In just one stride, he came to the white pce wall.
Horrible repelling force and annihting power continuously drifted out from the magic figures of the Divine Way embedded in the walls. Through the surface of the walls, Li Mu saw innumerable fine threads of silver magic figures entwined between the stone bricks, wriggling beneath the surface of the wall like worms.
A crack emerged between Li Mu’s brows as the Third Eye was turned on. With a quick nce, he located the core of the magic tactical deployment. Then, as his mind stirred, a jet of Broadsword Intent shed, leaving a tiny crack in the tactical deployment. After that, he stepped into that crack with aposed look.
Li Mu did all that without the nearby imperial army noticing.
The second he went through the wall, the view before him altered. Clouds and mist were everywhere. White clouds surrounded the assorted buildings, as though it was a pce in heaven. The ce was vast but deserted.
The snow-white clouds concealed potent killing intent.
Li Mu released his spiritual force, which covered the ce in a trice like a flood. Meanwhile, he switched on the Third Eye and marched fearlessly in the direction of the hall at the center.
In the main hall...
The silver-haired and silver-eyed man gave a creepy smile.
“Humph! How reckless! He dares to trespass on the marked Tianyi Pce on his own. Once the tactical deployment is triggered, you will no longer be in one piece. Even though you are a disciple of the Thunder Hall, the second strongest faction in the Brilliance Immortal Gxy, you should not me me for being ruthless to you.”
The silver-haired man looked rather menacing.
The Tianyi Pce in Lin’an was a coordinate point marked on that by the Tianyi Pce, a mighty faction in the universe, a thousand years ago. It was kind of its base in that world. Taking advantage of the home field, the Tianyi Pce had nted and activated the Tianyi Jade Killing Deployment within a hundred acres, turning the entire ce into a killing region.
But soon, his expression altered drastically.
Because, to his horror, he saw a short-haired, white-clothed juvenile basking in orange mes, like a phoenix reborn from fire. With each step he took, he left a huge burning footprint on the ground, which zed thend. The orange fire carried unparalleled energy. And even the killing intent of the Tianyi Jade Killing Deployment could not prate the mes.
“What’s going on?”
The silver-haired man could not digest what he had seen.
“The skill that young man disyed a while ago is the Thunder Hall’s thunder art. Given the profound power in his strike, he clearly has obtained the orthodox teaching of the Thunder Hall. But now, he is immersed in fire. That orange me makes my heart shudder even though he is still in a distance. Howe he is like the immortal god of the zing Phoenix n... Who on earth is that young man? How could he master the arts of both the Thunder Hall and zing Phoenix n?”
He hastily activated the various formidable tricks in the Tianyi Jade Killing Deployment. The white mist outside transformed into all kinds of beasts, spiritual animals, evil monsters, and throngs of demons, and charged at the short-haired boy.
But that body kept marching forward, as though he was sliding among clouds.
On his way, jets of intangible Broadsword Qi were always ahead of him, cutting all the conjured beasts and monsters in half without effort. The destructive power in the Broadsword Intent obstructed the beasts and monsters to stay in shape, so they all dissolved into the air.
Within a ten-meter radius of the juvenile was the protective zone of the intangible Broadsword Intent. Anything entering that zone was destroyed by a quick sh of the Broadsword Intent.
That boy’s defensive technique was almost unbeatable.
The silver-haired man goggled at the sight, totally petrified.
“What is happening?
That Broadsword Intent contains the power of the Genuine Martial Sect. It seems to be an orthodox art of the Genuine Martial Sect, the Holy n in the immortals’ realm!”
“Bullsh*t! How could a man have joined in the Three Immortal ns—Thunder Hall, the zing Phoenix n, as well as the Genuine Martial Sect— all at once?”
The silver-haired man found his view of the world had just been subverted.
“No way! A man like him can’t have remained as a nobody, even in the vast universe... Could he have possibly hunted down all the sessors of the three ns that had descended on this and stolen their Cultivation Methods?”
Spasms of terror hit the silver-haired man.
“Is this young man a Gxy Hunter?”
He thought of the legends about Gxy Hunters he had heard of. Those hunters were extremely frightening. They were a bunch of lunatics, killers, and assassins. They hunted all the worth-living people, beasts, and the other creatures. They grew stronger after each hunting. They blossomed in fighting and killing. Through plundering the resources and Cultivation Methods of the opponents, they enriched their power. Although all the sects and ns in the universe were trying to take them out, those Gxy Hunters, like the weed, had never been rooted out. Their madness had made them exceptionally intimidating.
He saw the quality of a Gxy Hunter on that short-haired, white-clothed young man. That alone scared him.
“Crap! The Tianyi Jade Killing Deployment is very old now. Its power is less than one-thousandth of its original. This kind of deployment won’t contain him. And I’ve already lost most of my strength after forcing mynding on this. In this case, if he barges into the hall, I sure have no chance to live. His strength is just too horrible!”
A hint of unyieldingness and utmost vile were reflected in the man’s eyes.
The treasures were right in that pce. But he had to flee because someone was after him. He had swallowed hundreds of thousands of people in Lin’an to replenish the essence and blood lost during his forciblending. Still, it was not enough.
“I’ve got to start a massacre now. I shall swallow the creatures on this to regain my strength before Ie back to snatch the treasures. Anyway, before the time is due, that Gxy Hunter can’t take those treasures, either.”
Having made up his mind, the silver-haired man took out a small g glowing silver from his treasure pocket and flung it on himself. A streak of silver light glinted, and he vanished right on the spot, for he had been teleported to another ce.
At that precise moment, Li Mu barged in. But he was one stepte.
“This is weird. It’s the aura of a Transmitting Array. He’s been transmitted away?”
Sure enough, it was not easy to chase after an expert from outer space because he must have carried assorted magic instruments with him.
Then, Li Mu began to search the entire Tianyi Pce.
He hade to the Tianyi Pce for the treasures Lao Zi had left there in the first ce.
