Chapter 228: The Sword Light Appeared Again
The more the deer man found people to inquire about these messy matters, the more the merchants in the city liked it.
It was surprising that the orcs also had hobbies.
And it was such a hobby!
As long as it wasn’t a threat to the people in the city, their relations.h.i.+p could last very long.
Those who knew the situation had also let the deer man be.
Two months later, only the Zhou and Liu families were left which he couldn’t figure out, and all the other suspicious points were eliminated.
“Could it be that Li Mu isn’t in this small city?”
How could this be possible?
Since the roc clan said so, there must be some clues here.
At the very least, he still hadn’t found out the expert who released that sword qi was?
Not to mention the distance, even the approximate location of the residence wasn’t clear.
“He entered the small city four years ago? That was strange. The list of residents who entered the city four years ago was all here.”
After flipping through the list, everyone was eliminated.
There were not many people who entered the small city in the two months before and after the incident in Wuqin City, not to mention those who entered. Most of them left, and a small number did not survive.
The only person who entered the city during that period was an old beggar.
This old beggar barely survived in the city because the Zhou family gave him a mouthful of rice.
The old beggar was an ordinary person that could not be described with words.
At this moment, he was so old that he could not walk anymore. He was lying on the street, dying.
He did not know when he would die.
“The remaining suspects are the ones behind the Zhou family and the girl called Liu Xiu from the Liu Family!”
Picking up Liu Xiu’s information, Deer man looked at it carefully.
There were a few things that matched.
The things were, one was a sword cultivator, and the other was also a young girl.
When the wolf orcs and canine orcs were tracking Li Mu, they had been tracking a few girls.
Now, those who had smelled the scent of those girls were all dead.
“Sigh, the one-year time given by the roc clan is almost up.”
The deer man had a headache.
At this moment, an old fox orc appeared at the city gate.
The fox orc carried a basket full of medicinal herbs on his back and slowly walked into the city.
After entering the city, he took a look at the layout of the city and rushed towards the medicinal herbs market.
The few city-guarding warriors looked at him. He was just an ordinary fox orc who entered the city to sell medicinal herbs.
Therefore, they did not pay attention to him. They continued to stare at the other orcs who came in and out of the city gate.
After the old fox orc sold the medicinal herbs, he did not leave the city immediately. Instead, he found a restaurant and began to eat carefully.
The orcs who came from afar all had this habit.
Even if they did not sell all the herbs, they still stayed for a night.
“What a peaceful small city. It was not too late for me to come, right?”
This fox orc was none other than the one who had gone out of Wuqin City to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
He was the only one who had come into the city to meet a few girls.
He had already received the news of the small city’s sword qi exterminating tens of thousands of bandits.
But he didn’t dare to show himself.
He knew that the other orcs would definitely keep an eye on him, and so would the roc clan.
Many years had pa.s.sed, and the roc clan had never forgotten to look for him.
It had been such a long time since the roc clan received the news.
If they were looking for Li Mu, they would have already made their move.
Even if they were spies, it was time to go back and report.
After eating, the fox orc began to shop.
Every time he came to a new street, his divine consciousness would scan his surroundings.
On a small street outside the Liu family grounds.
The old fox orc bought two strings of candied haws in his hand. It seemed to be a gift for his grandson.
After receiving the candied haws, the old fox orc’s face beamed.
He finally saw that familiar face.
This face had been in his mind for so many years.
He was afraid that he would forget it and had to recall it every day.
Even when he was on the run, he had to consolidate it even in his dreams.
The people on the street looked at the old fox orc and giggled.
They thought that he had bought delicious food, but when he thought of how happy his grandson would be, he was happy.
Pity rose in the hearts of the people who pa.s.sed by.
How pitiful!
This was how the orcs outside the city lived.
Whoosh~
Suddenly, the old fox orc disappeared.
The peddlers who were staring at the old fox orc were stunned.
Where was he?
Why did he suddenly disappear?
Could it be that this old fox orc was an expert?
Just as the peddlers were wondering, white light burst out from the sky above the Liu family.
Whoos.h.!.+
An intense sword qi rose into the sky, followed by a shower of blood.
Then, the figure of a saber flew out of the city and fell into the mountain stream in the distance.
“Impossible! How could he be so powerful?”
The old fox orc looked at the hole in his chest with despair in his eyes.
He had thought about how powerful the sword qi was, and he had also seen the sword intent.
Over the years, he had searched for countless defensive treasures and solutions.
He had even made a prosthesis to attract the sword qi.
He did not expect everything to be wrong.
“He… He is not in the true realm… I was wrong!”
The sword light flashed.
Most of the people in the city did not feel anything.
A small number of warriors sensed it and glanced at the Liu family, but they did not find anything.
Only a few of them suddenly stared at the Liu family with shock in their eyes.
Then, they stood on the spot, speechless for a long time.
“The Liu family, so it was the Liu family. No wonder they were not nervous when the tens of thousands of bandits attacked the city. With such an expert guarding the city, what were they afraid of?”
“The Liu family is probably another reclusive family!”
“With such an expert, they could stay in the city at ease.”
The experts at the later stage of the perfected person realm became relaxed.
They wouldn’t do anything bad. After wandering and fighting for so many years, they only wanted to find a small city to live in, in seclusion.
Now it seemed that this place was very suitable.
They didn’t need to worry about anything!
They just needed to do their best every day.
In an inn.
Deer man stared in the direction of the Liu family.
He had sensed the sword light that flashed just now.
Although he didn’t see it, the sword’s intent flashed in his heart.
That terrifying sword intent made his heart suddenly contract.
That’s right, it was the Liu family.
“Too terrifying.”
Deer man said with lingering fear.
He wiped off the sweat on his forehead.
Plop, he fell to the ground.
“If the person with sword intent was related to Li Mu, I’m afraid that even the roc clan wouldn’t be able to gain any benefits this time.”
Deer man was suddenly startled.
To mention Li Mu’s name in front of such a mighty figure, he was afraid that the other party would discover it!
Not good.
He had to leave this city tomorrow.
The roc clan had given him enough time, and the trail ended here.
It was impossible to continue investigating.
After a long while, he saw that his head was still there. As if he hadn’t been noticed by that important figure, the deer man let out a long breath and slowly got up from the ground.
“But who was that sword light trying to kill?”
After calming down, the deer man suddenly thought of a question.
Who had provoked this almighty?
Could it be that another clan was also investigating Li Mu and that tonight was just a test?
With this thought in mind, the deer man couldn’t relax for a long time.
It was probably what he suspected.
Li Mu was related to the rise and fall of a clan. Who wouldn’t be tempted?
On the surface, they might not even make a move, but in the dark?
The clue of the small city had spread throughout the orc clans four years ago.
Li Mu was right in front of their eyes. It wouldn’t make sense if no one tried to probe him!
This was probably the result of their four years of investigation.
Let’s go!
First, he would leave the city to take a look before returning to report to the roc clan.
The next day, before dawn, the deer man had already left the city to search around before returning to the Shangqing region.
He went out of the city to take a look to see if any other orcs were monitoring the city.
He had no intention to search thoroughly.
What he didn’t expect was that there were many orcs doing businesses outside the city, and there were even more who were watching the city.
