His heart skipped a beat.
The imprint he had left at the State of Great Xia’s Imperial Palace had been slightly shaken.
“What has the State of Great Xia’s Imperial Palace gone through?”
Li Mu’s figure flashed and he appeared above the State of Great Xia’s Imperial Palace.
Then, he headed to Shouning Palace.
The two yards in front and behind the Shouning Palace were covered with overgrown gra.s.s.
Stepping in, one would be covered almost entirely by gra.s.s.
The front yard wasn’t as bad, with weeds just growing in the cracks of the bricks. In the backyard, there were two unusual trees growing beside the well.
The roots of the jujube and peach trees, as well as other medicinal plants, had grown all over the place, prying the thin floor tiles open.
Some plants started to grow from these cracks, and the bigger they grew, the bigger the cracks became.
The hall was empty; the books had all been removed. The empty shelves were covered with dust and spider webs.
In Taihe Hall, Liu Yu and Liu An sat opposite each other.
“Are you my Ninth Uncle?”
Liu An looked at his ninth uncle, who he had never seen before.
His face looked somewhat similar to that of the late Emperor.
This was Grandma Jing’s son?
He had heard from his father that this uncle was very capable.
“Yes!”
“I didn’t know that you were coming…”
Liu An was very happy.
If Ninth Uncle was willing to help, then the problem the State of Great Xia was facing could be solved instantly.
Even he didn’t know what Ninth Uncle’s cultivation level was, his ability must be better than the other masters in Zhongzhou.
“I wanted to ask you about the ancestor.”
“Which ancestor?”
“There is a rumor that there is an ancestor that is guarding the Liu family,” Liu Yu said as he stared at Liu An.
Before entering the palace, Liu Yu had guessed there was a connection between the Virtual Realm master guarding the palace and the ancestor of the Xia family.
They were both Virtual Realm masters who used thunder and lightning techniques.
They had both appeared in the Xia Family and the State of Great Xia’s Imperial Palace.
There was only one Virtual Realm master from the South Continent.
And only one person who used the thunder and lightning techniques.
Liu Yu suspected that this person was one and the same.
He might be their Liu Family’s ancestor.
This thought had been bugging him for some time.
Only he could have become a Virtual Realm master and protected both the Xia Family and Liu Family at the same time.
Most importantly, Tingting called him her grandfather.
And he treated Tingting very well.
In addition, many years ago, there had also been someone who secretly taught him how to hide his breath as well as other cultivation methods, and had given him a jade plate in Bailing Valley.
That had led him to the Xia Family.
All the clues started to link together.
He might be the mysterious Liu Family and Xia Family ancestor that he had been trying to find!
The more he thought about this, the more Liu Yu felt that he was getting to the truth.
“Ancestor has pa.s.sed away,” Liu An sighed.
“Really?”
Liu Yu looked at Liu An in disbelief.
“Yes. He died several hundred years ago. Even his bones have disintegrated.”
“Really?”
“Ninth Uncle, judging by your expression, it seems like you don’t believe me!”
Of course he didn’t believe him!
“I’m telling the truth,” Liu An said seriously.
“Then how did you kill so many Zhongzhou masters?” Liu Yu asked from a different angle.
If the ancestors were not involved, how could Liu An have killed so many Zhongzhou masters?
He had also witnessed sword light above the palace.
“It’s a long story!”
Liu An called over an eunuch to pour some tea.
In the Shouning Palace, Li Mu cleaned up the weeds and the garden, then drew a sword formation and left a trace of divine consciousness.
No one could live in the palace anymore.
In addition to the weeds in the front and back yards, there were also weeds under the steps and even on the eaves.
The wooden pillars in the corners of the hall were also covered with mushrooms.
There was a little mold on the wooden bed.
This was all because the roots of the weeds had cracked the tiles on the roof, resulting in the rain leaking inside the house.
Liu An must have noticed this and moved the books away from Shouning Palace.
Then, Li Mu returned to the abandoned vitality pit.
Tingting was still waiting in front of Li Mu’s cavern.
“You can only go to the South Continent. Be careful!” Glancing at Zhou Hua, who was probing around in the distance, he said to Tingting.
Soon, Zhou Hua led A’mu out of the abandoned vitality pit, following behind Tingting.
After they left, Chu Qing also left together with Gongsun Qiuyue.
One day later, only Gongsun Yang and Li Mu remained in the abandoned vitality pit.
“You don’t need to envy them. When your cultivation level improves, you will be allowed to go out too.”
“I am already a Spirit Manipulation Realm master!”
“Reaching the Spirit Manipulation Realm is not enough to become a master,” Li Mu emphasized.
In the South Continent, the Spirit Manipulation Realm was barely considered a master.
If he went out like this, he was going to die.
The world was in chaos, and even the more advanced cultivators were in danger, not to mention a cultivator in the Spirit Manipulation Realm.
“Didn’t Sister Zhou Hua and the others go out that week?”
“I was with them!”
“Oh!” Gongsun Yang bowed his head and went back to the cavern.
He was in low spirits.
All his sisters could go out to play. He wanted to go out for a while too.
Sitting in the room alone, his mind started to drift off.
After a while, Gongsun Yang poked his head out of the cavern. Glanced at the abandoned vitality pit, he didn’t see Li Mu and slowly crept out of the cavern.
In the distance, Li Mu shook his head.
“He’s so young and forgetful.”
He had completely forgotten how he had ran for his life ten years ago.
Since he had left a divine consciousness imprint on Gongsun Yang, he didn’t mind him leaving.
Just one day later, Li Mu felt a sense of alarm.
“It’s Gongsun Yang.”
In a flash, he appeared in front of Gongsun Qiuyang.
Moving quickly, he gathered many pine nuts in his hand, then flicked his fingers.
The pine nuts flew out of his hand.
In the valley, the pine nuts crushed the heads of the Zhongzhou people who were besieging Gongsun Yang.
This was the flicking divine consciousness technique!
It was a reward he had gained for checking in many years ago.
He used to think it was just a low-level technique and didn’t take the time to learn it.
But after he got bored of not being able to break through for so long, he started to practice it.
Only then did he discover that the more advanced he got, the more powerful this set of techniques was.
“Who dares to block the Qianyuan Sacred Ground?” The leader among the warriors shouted arrogantly.
Seeing their companions got killed, thousands of warriors emerged from the dense forest.
They were all wearing the same uniform.
“Qianyuan Sacred Ground? Aren’t you in Zhongzhou? Why are you setting your sights on Muguang Mountain?”
“Haha! The Qianyuan Sacred Ground can go anywhere it pleases. If you dare to defy the Qianyuan Sacred Ground, we will chop you up.”
The Perfected Person of the Qianyuan Sacred Ground stared at Li Mu.
He couldn’t tell what Li Mu’s cultivation level, nor could he see Li Mu’s face.
But he didn’t care.
Anyone who defied the Qianyuan Sacred Ground must die.
“You’re just a Perfected Person. Why are you so arrogant?” Li Mu snorted and threw Gongsun Yang to safety.
“Hey! Your kid really doesn’t want to live anymore. How dare he offend the Qianyuan Sacred Ground? I’ll kill you!”
He had come to Muguang Mountain to fight a battle.
Unexpectedly, he had found the ‘traitor’ from Taiyue Holy Land here.
Delighted, he had just been about to capture him alive and leave.
But just then, a master appeared to spoil his plans.
Hmph!
How dare this person dare to interfere.
The Perfected Person leader hated him already.
He immediately attacked Li Mu.
Who cared what his cultivation level was?
How dare a casual cultivator dare to kill a member of the Qianyuan Sacred Ground?
Whoos.h.!.+
The Perfected Person leader’s head flew off.
Before he died, his eyes were full of confusion.
“How dare you kill the people from the Qianyuan Sacred Ground? You must be looking to die!” A shout came from the sky.
Immediately, more than a dozen advanced Perfected Person masters appeared.
Dressed in white, they were all high-level masters from the Qianyuan Sacred Ground.
After watching Li Mu kill one of their members, they were full of surprise and hatred.
Did he look down on the Qianyuan Sacred Ground?
“Go and die!”
More than a dozen people formed a sword formation and encircled Li Mu.
This was great!
This was the perfect time to test the new murder stimulus technique on someone.
Li Mu activated his divine consciousness, which turned into countless of small divine consciousness needles, stabbing the group of Perfected Persons.
Before they could approach Li Mu, their heads were separated from their bodies.
All of them still had an expression of hatred on their faces as they died.
“Who’s there? How dare you kill my personal disciples from the Qianyuan Sacred Ground? You must be looking for death!” After a dozen or so people had just died, loud shouts came from a distance.
They billowed like thunder in Muguang Mountain
Li Mu was taken aback.
He had just killed the younger generation, and the older generation had already come to avenge them.
