Chapter 842 Visitors from the Tingyu Family
Cloud Light Saintess felt like she had fallen into a den of debauchery. She was terrified.
However, she was more curious about what Li Mu and the old faker talked about in the meditation room today.
She clearly heard the first half of their conversation, and it seemed that she also heard the rest of the conversation. Strangely enough, she couldn’t recall even any snippet of the conversation, as if some of her memory had been erased from her brain.
“If I stay here, I can get close to that old man, and perhaps I will come across some opportunities. Now, I have no choice but to endure humiliation for something more important. According to their conversation, Li Mu seems to be injured, and his Taoist foundation has been destroyed. He deserves it. I’d better find a way to send the message out.”
Cloud Light Saintess pondered about what to do.
“Does Li Mu really think that I will surrender and serve him willingly?
“That’s just wishful thinking on his part.
“He doesn’t deserve that.”
“Woof, woof, woof!”
A dog barked.
“Ha-ha, old man, I’m back. Long time no see. You must miss me very much, ” the Husky said. He was wearing a black suit and had a slicked back hairstyle. He walked into the temple on his hind legs like a human being, leading a fierce yellow-striped tiger. The twenty big strong dogs behind him lined up in two neat rows like loyal guards.
The old faker was confused when he saw the scene. “Xiao Jiu, what are you doing here?”
“Xiao Jiu?” The Husky tied the demon tiger called “Rotten” to an old pine and walked over to the old faker. “Old man, my name is General. If you are in awe of my power and aura, you can call me the King of Dogs. Who is Xiao Jiu? Are you senile?”
“Oh… I got your name wrong. I’ve forgotten your name, but that’s normal. After all, you were a dog of no importance when you lived in Randeng Temple,” the old faker said as he touched his nose.
“Old fellow, I advise you to talk to me nicely. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what my bros would do to you,” the Husky snarled, pointing at the big strong dogs behind him.
Those dogs immediately growled and bared their snow-white teeth, all ready to pounce.
The old faker chuckled. “They look very delicious. I haven’t eaten meat for quite a while. How about eating dog meat hot pot tonight?”
The dogs instantly piped down and tucked their tails between their legs.
Li Mu was waiting for the old faker to tell him more. He drove the Husky away and said to the old faker, “Is what you just said true? You can’t make a joke out of something like that.”
The old faker smiled cheekily and said, “I admire you so much for having done something like that. I’m serious. Tell me how you did it and when you mastered the secret Paired Cultivation method. You have managed to absorb the divine power of a G.o.ddess. You are really a f*cking genius.”
“I don’t know how to do Pair Cultivation at all…” Li Mu blurted out.
He recalled the days when he was pa.s.sionately in love with Hua Xiangrong.
“That… should be considered as a Paired Cultivation.
“Could it be that I mastered the secret method without being taught because we made love so many times?
“Bah, that’s not right.
“I’ve never had s.e.x with Bi Yan. That’s impossible, but how did the divine power come into my body?
“If the eight cracks in my spine were caused by Bi Yan, why would she transfer her divine power to me?
“What on earth was she planning to do?”
Li Mu couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard he tried.
“What on earth is this divine power? What’s it for?”
He asked the old faker another question while trying to resist the urge to beat the latter up.
The old faker noticed the change in the look on Li Mu’s face. He said with a smirk, “As the name implies, divine power is the power of G.o.ds, and it’s no exaggeration to call it the Source Energy of the G.o.ds. You’re only in the King Realm now, so you’ve got a long way to go before you reach the ultimate level. That’s why you can’t integrate the divine power with your body and use it for the moment. However, when you enter the Upper King Realm, you’ll be able to integrate it with your body and control it. Then, you will benefit greatly from it and become a G.o.dlike master far more powerful than ordinary masters in the Upper King Realm.”
After hearing the explanation, Li Mu roughly understood it.
“That means a seed of divinity has been sown in my body.
“When this seed germinates, it will bring infinite benefits to me.
“Bi Yan, what on earth were you trying to do?”
Li Mu found that, for the first time, he couldn’t understand this old friend of his from the Green Fox Tribe.
“Li Mu, where is your new maidservant? Ask her to boil some water for me. I want to take a bath, comb my fur and go on a fast…” The silly Husky walked over to show his presence.
Li Mu shouted to Cloud Light Saintess asking her to come over and then gave the order.
“What? Are you asking me to serve a dog?”
Li Mu’s order put her nose out of the joint.
“Doesn’t he know who I am? How could he ask me to serve a dog? This is an insult to me.”
“You may choose not to do that,” Li Mu said, “How about serving my master and ma.s.saging his back? He is quite interested in you.”
Cloud Light Saintess turned pale when she heard that. She hurriedly said, “I’ll serve the King of Dogs.”
The Husky laughed smugly and said, “Old man, it seems that the beauty likes me more.”
The old faker’s face darkened.
“That is because Li Mu called me a pervert and ruined my reputation today.”
He didn’t want to say anything. He pulled out an iron bar and chased after Li Mu. “Don’t run. I’m going to beat you to death today…”
…
…
In the next few days, Li Mu occasionally went down the mountain to hang out with his old friends in the high-tech zone of Baoji. He also visited w.a.n.g Zhen, w.a.n.g s.h.i.+wu, and their wives and taught his disciple, w.a.n.g Fanqie, to practice martial arts in s.h.i.+yu Manor, which was the family home of w.a.n.g s.h.i.+wu.
Li Mu once taught w.a.n.g s.h.i.+wu and his wife some Cultivation Methods in person. They had been practicing these methods for several years and had become much more powerful than ordinary martial arts pract.i.tioners. Now, they could be regarded as the leading masters of martial arts in Baoji City. While the people in Randeng Temple and Jintai Temple didn’t care about things in the outside world, it was no exaggeration to say that w.a.n.g s.h.i.+wu was the top martial arts master in Baoji City. Moreover, he was well informed and well connected to the outside world.
Li Mu heard some news about the outside world when he stayed at w.a.n.g s.h.i.+wu’s home.
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+wu and his wife had joined the Hero Martial Arts Alliance for a very long time. Therefore, there had been some internal correspondence between the Hero Martial Arts Alliance and w.a.n.g s.h.i.+wu, and the former sent some messages to Li Mu through the latter. Li Mu took note of these messages, but he never gave any instructions.
The world had changed a lot, so had the hearts of people.
Back then, the Hero Martial Arts Alliance was founded with Li Mu’s support to help the government stabilize and control the situation in the world of martial arts pract.i.tioners. However, with all the dramatic changes, the power of pract.i.tioners in the world gradually surpa.s.sed that of the government, and as the doors to various small worlds in famous mountains and great rivers were opened, many secret powers, clans and forces emerged.
On the other hand, some immortal sects showed up and brought disasters to Earth, which had turned into a world occupied by immortals and mortals.
Li Mu thought to himself, “There are all kinds of old myths, legends and tales about immortals. Perhaps they are about the martial arts pract.i.tioners from famous mountains and great rivers who came to the mortal world by accident. The Celestial Court, the divine palaces… are all real.”
One day.
At the gate of s.h.i.+yu Manor.
A ma.s.s of clouds rolled across the sky. Some people riding on these clouds pa.s.sed through the sky above Baoji City and slowly landed in front of the gate of the manor.
The white clouds disappeared.
A young man wearing a long brocade robe embroidered with a cloud pattern and holding an umbrella made of clouds, appeared.
He was a handsome, tall and slim man with slanted eyes and pale, thin lips. He had an elegant bearing, but at the same time, he looked as cold and harsh as the frigid rain in winter, and seemed very aloof.
Behind him, there were twenty divine generals wearing silver armor suits, silver helmets and they held divine axes in their hands. They looked like heavenly generals and soldiers from ancient palaces. Apart from them, there was another man in his 40s or 50s. He was wearing an ordinary blue robe and had short hair and a beard. He didn’t look like a member of an immortal sect, but more like a low-status pract.i.tioner in the secular world.
“Is this the place?”
The young man looked at the gate of the manor.
The middle-aged man with short hair and a beard hurriedly said, “Yes, sir. This is the residence of the w.a.n.g family.”
The young man narrowed his eyes and said, “Get in. Arrest and interrogate all the people in there. Kill anyone who dares to stand in the way. All those who collude with w.a.n.g Yan deserve to die. No one is allowed to undermine the dignity of the Tingyu family. All blasphemers shall pay the price in blood.”
“Yes.”
Led by the middle-aged man, the divine generals directly broke into the manor.
Boom!
The gate of the manor was knocked down.
The gate plate reading “s.h.i.+yu” was trampled into the mud.
“Hey? Who are you? How dare you break into s.h.i.+yu Manor without permission? Do you know… Ouch!”
“Stop them… Ah!”
The young disciples who stepped forward to stop the trespa.s.sers were quite powerful martial arts pract.i.tioners, but they were directly knocked down before they could finish speaking. As numerous beams of blue light flashed by, Cold Water Chains appeared and bound them up. In an instant, they were immobilized and laid motionless on the ground.
The manor was named s.h.i.+yu in commemoration of w.a.n.g s.h.i.+yu, who was missing.
Upon their retirement from the police force, w.a.n.g s.h.i.+wu and his wife opened a martial arts club in the manor to teach martial arts and fulfill Li Mu’s wish to spread the practice of martial arts all over the world. At the same time, the manor also served as the base of one of the branches of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance. For this reason, there were over one hundred martial arts pract.i.tioners stationed in the manor, including a considerable number of masters.
However, those people were no match for the divine generals of the Rain Clan—one of six major Divine Clans of the Celestial Court.
All those who resisted were injured.
The people of the Rain Clan caught all the resisters and tied them up with Cold Water Chains, which were a kind of torture device.
“Who are you?”
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+wu hurried over.
By this time, the divine generals of the Rain Clan had already reached the depths of the manor.
“You are w.a.n.g s.h.i.+wu, right?” The young man wearing a long brocade robe said lightly, “I heard that about a month ago, you were chased down and almost lost your life. Later, you were rescued by a person called w.a.n.g Yanyi. Is that true?”
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+wu said, “That’s true.”
At this time, the remaining masters in the manor gathered around him.
“Oh, that’s right.” The young man wearing a long brocade robe waved his hand and said, “Where is w.a.n.g Yanyi?”
“That… I don’t know,” w.a.n.g s.h.i.+wu said.
“Forget it. If you don’t want to tell me, it doesn’t really matter. You will tell me in the end.” The young man smiled coldly and continued. “Come on. Catch all of them, take them back to Mount Wuyi, and interrogate them one by one.”
“Wait a minute,” w.a.n.g s.h.i.+wu shouted, “Who on earth are you? Why did you hurt my people? Can you give me a reason?” He had already realized that those people were probably from some legendary immortal sect and he could not defeat them, so he tried his best to control himself.
“A reason? Ha-ha, the only reason is that w.a.n.g Yanyi saved your f*cking life.” The lips of the young man curled into a cold smile. He said, “All those who are acquainted with w.a.n.g Yanyi deserve to die. The Tingyu family will catch, interrogate and kill them one by one without letting any of them go.”
Right at that moment, a voice came from the depths of the manor.
“Ha-ha, you sure can brag. Is the Tingyu family that great?”
