Chapter 422 - Shen FamilyAfter leaving the 292 cave dwelling, Li Mu rode on the light and arrived at the entrance of the Gold Jade Sect first. Not long after, Nie Xiaoyu and Xiao Kuan also arrived at the entrance to meet Li Mu.
Just like this, Li Mu and Xiao Kuan rode on a flying light, and Xiao Kuan, who could not even wrap around the mid-stage postcelestial, together, transformed into two flying lights, one gold and one black, which quickly disappeared into the horizon.
"Xiao Yu, how did you and Cai Qing leave the sect? Why did I hear from Brother Xiao that you guys seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden?Riding the light flying in the sky, Li Mu asked Nie Xiaoyu with some suspicions.
Ai, the situation is like this, my family"s young miss knows that her family will call her back soon, and within the sect, there are people from my Shen family that have been secretly watching her every move. Helpless, I was forced to call my young miss over, the two of them found an opportunity to slip out of the sect. Nie Xiaoyu explained.
I thought you guys had gone missing. I"ve searched for a long time, but there was no news of Cai Qing, he"s too ungrateful, he didn"t even inform us about such a huge matter, and made me look for you!
"But then again, since you all have left the Gold Jade Sect, why did you return to the Shen family of the White Cloud City? She is an existence at the Divine Arts realm, even if he was strong, I think it would not be easy to capture her alive!"
Xiao Kuan asked with a faint smile, his cultivation had reached the sacred art realm, and because he could fly, he could very rarely see any sacred art warrior being surrounded or captured alive. In order to kill a sacred art cultivator, he might not need to waste so many limbs, but to capture a person alive, it would not be such a simple matter."Sigh!" "Senior Xiao, you are right. Originally, after Miss and I left the Gold Jade Sect, we did not plan to return to the Shen family, but we heard from the Gold Jade City that our Patriarch was heavily injured by enemy forces outside. It is said that his life is at stake."
"Senior Xiao, you should also know that the current Patriarch of my Shen family, Shen Ling, is my young miss"s biological father. Upon hearing the news that my father is in imminent danger, the young miss can"t sit still any longer, so we used the Gold Jade City"s teleportation circle to return to the Shen family of White Cloud City as soon as possible!"
"What makes people angry is that this news is actually fake, it was deliberately released by the elders of my Shen family to deceive the young miss to return. After returning, the young miss was immediately placed under house arrest, and even I was helped by the young master to escape from the Shen family with great difficulty!"
When Nie Xiaoyu talked about how Shen Cai Qing had been tricked and returned, she was immediately enraged. She did not have any good impressions towards the elder of the Shen family that she mentioned.Hearing that, Li Mu and Xiao Kuan looked at each other, both of their faces did not look good, obviously the two did not expect the situation to be so complicated.
"Eh? Oh yeah, Xiao Yu, I forgot to ask you, the person you said is from Lu Family, right? What"s her name?Xiao Kuan suddenly asked, all of their eyes were focused on Shen Cai Qing, they had forgotten about the other main character.
His name is Lu Xiong, and this person"s cultivation is a little terrifying, moreover his background is a bit complicated, although he was born in my Great Qin, he was accepted into our Xiao Yao Sect, which is located in the middle Yuheng Continent. It is said that among the young generation of the Xiao Yao Sect, his strength can be considered to be in the top ten, he is a rare talent!
It is precisely because he has an extraordinary background and a good background. In order to draw closer the relationship between his Lu Family and my Shen family, the seniors of my Shen family made this engagement with my Lu Family a long time ago. "Mu Xuanyin coldly said.Nie Xiaoyu explained, as though she had a special understanding of the Lu Xiong who was engaged to Shen Cai Qing.
"Footloose Sect?" It"s said that there are disciples of the sacred art realm everywhere in the sect, and there are quite a few elders of the Tongxuan realm. Their strength is even stronger than the strongest sect"s Heartless Palace s in the northern part of Yuheng Continent, and I heard that they were pa.s.sed down from a Venerable Emperor from a few hundred thousand years ago! "
seemed to have heard of the Footloose Sect before, and was extremely afraid of it.
"Footloose Sect?" Why does it sound so familiar! "
Li Mu muttered to himself. Upon hearing the three words "Carefree Sect", he suddenly had some doubts, as if he had heard of this name somewhere before, but he couldn"t recall exactly when.
"Mu Xiaozi, you forgot, didn"t you have a sworn brother called Ren Xiaoyao? That guy is a member of the Carefree Sect, and the technique he cultivates is definitely the Beiming Dou"s turning technique of the Carefree Sect. That is the genuine Heaven Grade Technique, his position in the Carefree Sect is definitely not low!"
Seeing that Li Mu could not remember about Xiao Yao Sect, he reminded in his mind with a smile that was not a smile.I remember now, I remember now, ah, more than ten years have pa.s.sed, I do not know how big brother and second brother are doing, truly cultivating for no time at all, from the time I was separated from them back then, it should have been about eleven or twelve years now, I have been in Gold Jade Sect for ten years, and this year just so happens to be the twelfth year since I travelled from Chu to Qin Nation for two years!
"12 years! To a mortal, this is like a fifth of their life!"When he mentioned Ren Xiaoyao, Li Mu remembered all the things that happened in the Qingyun Town back then. He still remembered when he, Young Master Yun, Di Yun and the other two had kowtowed and become sworn brothers in the rear flower garden of the Di Clan. Li Mu felt that all of this happened yesterday, but it had been more than ten years since he last remembered.
"Brother Li, are you alright? Lu Xiong never thought that he would actually be a member of the Carefree Sect, my Gold Jade Sect cannot afford to offend a large sect like the Xiao Yao Sect!"Xiao Kuan saw that Li Mu did not speak for a while, and his brows furrowed even more.
"It"s okay, he"s not a Master Heir of Xiao Yao Sect. Furthermore, the distance between Xiao Yao Sect and my Qin Nation is not just a little, I don"t believe that his Xiao Yao Sect would come and challenge my Gold Jade Sect for a Lu Xiong!"
Li Mu laughed without a care, his words filled with confidence. Just like that, the three of them spent close to three days to fly to the Gold Jade City, and then through the Gold Jade City"s teleportation circle, they directly arrived at the White Cloud City where the Shen Family was at.
White Cloud City was considered a mid-sized Cultivation City in terms of scale, although his scale was not as good as the Gold Jade City"s first-cla.s.s Cultivation City, he was not bad either. Cultivators of the Innate realm could be seen frequently on the streets, and cultivators of the sacred art realm would occasionally appear as well.
"This White Cloud City looks pretty good, the entire city belongs to your Shen family?"
Walking on the main street of White Cloud City, looking at the people who all had a high cultivation level, Li Mu asked Nie Xiaoyu.
"Senior Brother Li must be joking, although my Shen family is said to be one of the Great Qin"s top ten cultivation families, we are not some underworld clan. How could we have the strength to dominate a middle level Cultivation City!""Although this White Cloud City is not directly under the jurisdiction of the Gold Jade Sect, it is under the control of several great powers. The east city is controlled by the Situ Family, one of the ten great families of the Great Qin, while the west city is controlled by the heaven. The south city is controlled by the Small Ultimate Dao, while my Shen family only controls the north city!"
Nie Xiaoyu explained, and explained the general division of power in the White Cloud City to Li Mu.
"Situ Family? The Situ Family of Situ Piaoxue and Situ Qingtian? "Xiao Kuan seemed to understand the Situ Clan somewhat, and immediately asked. When Li Mu heard this, he also revealed a hint of interest, this Situ Qingtian had a deep grudge with him, the other party"s family was actually here, it made him feel a little unnatural.
"That"s right, the Situ Family is nominally a cultivation family that belongs to my Gold Jade Sect, but her Situ Family has never been on good terms with my Shen Family, and even fought a few battles to obtain territory." That"s right, the Situ Family is nominally a cultivation family that belongs to my Gold Jade Sect, but her Situ Family is not on good terms with my Shen Family, and in order to obtain territory, she had even fought a few battles.
"Although White Cloud City appears to be calm on the surface these few years, but the tides have been surging secretly. The higher-ups of my Shen family had no other choice, which is why we wanted to quickly arrange the marriage between Young Miss and Lu Xiong, so that we could form an alliance and borrow the power of the Lu Family to strengthen our own momentum."
Nie Xiaoyu explained in detail to Li Mu and Xiao Kuan, and the two of them shook their heads speechlessly upon hearing this. The depth of the water between the clans was obviously deeper than they had imagined.
Under Nie Xiaoyu"s lead, Li Mu and Xiao Kuan quickly arrived in front of a luxurious manor in the northern part of White Cloud City. In front of the manor, there was a tablet that was hung high up on top of it.
"Incomer, stop! The Shen family is an important place. Outsiders are not allowed to enter!"
Just as Li Mu and the other two arrived at the entrance of the Shen Mansion, they were blocked by a few disciples of the Shen Family who were guarding the gate. All of these disciples of the Shen Family had powerful cultivations, basically all of them were at least in the middle stages of the Postliminary Realm, and one of them was obviously the leader of a young man with short hair who had reached mid-stage postcelestial.
"Your eyes are blind!" This is our Shen family"s esteemed guest, how dare you stop him! "
Seeing that her path was blocked, Nie Xiaoyu immediately stepped forward. She was also at the level of mid-stage postcelestial, although she was still far from being able to compare to Li Mu and Xiao Kuan, in front of these guards, she was still able to hold her ground.
It"s actually the young miss"s personal servant, Nie Xiaoyu. All the people in our guards team have searched the entire city these few days, but have not been able to find you. "Take him down!"The Short hair man among the guards sized up Nie Xiaoyu and the other two, and immediately recognized Nie Xiaoyu. With a grin on her face, she waved her hand, and seven to eight Shen family guards immediately rushed out, surrounding Li Mu and the other two.
"Looking for me?" It was the Great Clan Elder"s order right? My apologies, I am the young miss"s man and not under the Great Clan Elder"s control, you better move aside, otherwise don"t blame me for being impolite! "Nie Xiaoyu did not have a good temper. Although she was a weak woman, being able to cultivate to the [Innate] realm and being an inner disciple of a large sect like the Gold Jade Sect, she naturally could not lower her head to the guards. She pulled out a silver sword in her hand and a surging zhen yuan qi burst out without any concealment.
