Chapter 870 - Bloodsword Union DivisionUnder Li Mu"s lead, Leng Qingcheng and Li Mu arrived at a shop called "Sword Shop" at the east side of the Sky Spirit City. This shop specialized in selling various types of spiritual treasures, and there were two sword shaped dents carved on the signboard in front of the shop.
After arriving at the "sword shop", Li Mu directly walked into the shop. It was unknown if it was because the Four Major Sects such as the Gold Jade Sect had suffered defeat at the frontline, but the number of cultivators in the Sky Spirit City had decreased greatly. Naturally, the number of visitors to the shop had also decreased as well.
After Li Mu walked into the sword workshop, he realized that within the large shop, there were only a few scattered visitors, and not as many attendants as the number in the hall.Seeing Li Mu and Leng Qingcheng enter, a maid with relatively good looks immediately walked into the hall and asked about the purpose of Li Mu and Leng Qingcheng"s visit.
"Who is in charge here?"
Seeing that the maid in front of him had a good appearance, Li Mu did not stay on her body for too long, and directly asked the person in charge of the sword workshop.
The person who was arranged to be a maid in the hall was naturally not a simple person. The servant looked at Li Mu and Leng Qingcheng, and after sensing the unfathomable cultivation levels of Li Mu and Leng Qingcheng, she spoke apologetically to Li Mu, and then walked into the back hall and called out a short-haired middle-aged man.
This short-haired middle-aged man looked to be around forty to fifty years old, and his body was a little fat. After arriving in the hall, he took a careful look at Li Mu and Leng Qingcheng, especially when looking at them, he couldn"t help but take a few more glances."Follow me!"
The short-haired man looked at Li Mu a few more times before sending a message to Li Mu and Leng Qingcheng. Then, he took the lead and brought Li Mu and Leng Qingcheng to the second floor of the sword workshop.The hall of the first level of the sword workshop was filled with spirit treasures and other items for sale, while the second level was different. All of the rooms were split into different sized rooms.
"Zheng Shaokang greets the young master!"
After bringing Li Mu and Leng Qingcheng into the room, the short-haired man activated a sound barrier and sealed the door. He then bowed and greeted Li Mu while addressing him as Young Master Li Mu."Don"t be so formal, quickly get up. Dao Friend Zheng is too courteous, you should be the Branch Lord of my Bloodsword Union"s Sky Spirit City, right?"
Li Mu helped the short-haired, middle-aged man who called himself Zheng Shaokang up, and asked him with a smile.
"Young master is right, I am the Branch Lord of the Bloodsword Union in the Spirit City. I didn"t think that the Division Lord would come personally. This really surprises me."Zheng Shaokang was extremely pa.s.sionate about Li Mu. Li Mu could feel that his cultivation was at the middle stage of the Nascent Profound Realm, and in the cultivation world, he could be considered high-level trainer. To be able to lower his body and pay respects to Li Mu, Li Mu knew that the other party must have looked down on his father.
"Helmsman Zheng is too polite. Our cultivation bases aren"t too far apart, so it"s better to not be so polite. Oh right, I haven"t even revealed my ident.i.ty, how did you know about me?"
Initially, his father, Li Chongtian, had given him an order badge when they parted ways, allowing Li Mu to use it to go to any of the divisions within the Bloodsword Union. It was said that anyone who saw the order badge would see themselves, which was why Li Mu came to find the branch of the Bloodsword Union in the Heaven"s Spirit City.
Young master, you don"t know yet, but about three years ago, your picture was sent down by various divisions of my Bloodsword Union. They said that it was under the orders of our chief, and that all of us split up to cooperate with them in searching for your whereabouts. It"s just a pity, in all these years, we haven"t heard of any division that found your whereabouts.Zheng Shaokang explained to Li Mu with a friendly face. It was only after hearing this that Li Mu was able to resolve the doubt in his heart.
"Branch Chief Zheng, actually, the reason why I came here this time is because I want to ask you something. I hope you can help us solve our confusion."
Li Mu found a seat in the room with Leng Qingcheng and sat down, then bluntly stated his purpose of coming.
"Allow me to make a guess. The Young Master came to my Sky Spirit City this time and even found me. He is mainly here for the battle between Gold Jade Sect and the other four sects, right?"
Zheng Shaokang sat in front of Li Mu and Leng Qingcheng, and said while faintly smiling."Hehe, Branch Lord Zheng guessed right, actually, we just teleported here from the Jingguo, the moment we arrived in the Sky Spirit City, we heard that our Gold Jade Sect had lost the war in the Kang Guo Country. Originally, I was prepared to head to the Gold Jade City to help with the war, but after thinking about it, I still have to come over to your place to inquire more carefully, I hope you are generous with your advice."
Li Mu smirked at Zheng Shaokang. The power that the Bloodsword Union was secretly developing was already not small, and the power of his intelligence network was not to be underestimated. That was the reason why Li Mu came here to gather information."Since the Young Lord has asked, I will tell him the truth. As early as three years ago, the top ten sects began to confront each other in Kang Country. At the beginning, it was just a small fight and the war basically never broke out, but as the number of reinforcements from both sides increased, the war became more and more tense."
"Young master, as you know, the Ten Major Sects are deeply rooted in the northern part of Yuheng Continent. Besides the strength of our sect, there are also a lot of subsidiary powers. In short, the relationship between them is extremely complicated.
"According to what my Bloodsword Union found out, half a year ago, a mere Jingguo had ama.s.sed over five hundred thousand cultivators, and among them, all of them were at least at the Innate Realm or above. There is no need to talk about the experts in the profound arts or Tongxuan realm, just the experts in the True King Realm alone numbered in the tens of people."
"A month ago, a great battle broke out, and a chaotic battle between over five hundred thousand people killed dead bodies, mountains, and seas. Blood flowed like rivers, and more than thirty percent of the people died, and of these thirty percent, the Four Major Sects of the Gold Jade Sect took up eighty percent of the people, which was why your Gold Jade Sect and the others were defeated."
"This time, I heard that his target is your Gold Jade Sect"s number one Gold Jade City. Although the rumors spread like this, no one knows what their specific development will be, and they might even attack your Gold Jade City s as a pretense, to attack your Gold Jade Sect"s mountain gate Jinxiafeng s instead."
As the leader behind the Bloodsword Union in the Heavenly Spirit City, Zheng Shaokang naturally knew a lot about the cultivation world in the Qin Nation.
"That"s not right, Branch Lord Zheng. Whether we attack the Gold Jade City or the Heaven"s Spirit City with hundreds of thousands of people, we can"t hide this, right? After all, there are so many people and their targets are not small.
After listening to Zheng Shaokang"s explanation, Li Mu asked somewhat suspiciously.
"Hehe, Young Lord, you don"t know about this, right? Although you are correct in saying that there is a large number of people and it is easy for people to find them, you did not think that just because there are many people, they would be better hidden."
"With hundreds of thousands of people, if they were to draw out tens of thousands of elite disciples, and take advantage of the fact that Gold Jade Sect and the other four sect leaders are all focused on Gold Jade City, to sneak attack Gold Jade Sect"s Jinxiafeng, what should we do?""Moreover, because there are too many people, some of the Xiantian realm experts are not even able to fly, so they are basically riding on the back of a large flying spiritual treasure. They can"t even count their numbers!"
Zheng Shaokang shook his head helplessly.
Li Mu fell silent upon hearing this, he was thinking about how likely it was that Zheng Shaokang would speak, but right at that moment, from outside the door, a knock came out, upon seeing the door, Zheng Shaokang signalled to him to keep quiet, and then he opened the door.
"Helmsman Zheng, the emergency report I received just now was personally issued by the Military Advisor!"
After Zheng Shaokang opened the door, a young man held onto a jade slip and handed it over to Zheng Shaokang, then turned around and left. After receiving the jade slip, Zheng Shaokang directly placed it between his eyebrows, accompanied with a flash of Light of Spiritual Consciousness, Zheng Shaokang"s face suddenly changed, he turned his head and looked at Li Mu in the room with a panicked expression, and then …
