Chapter 1003 To Be Rich
The small leader observed Li Mu’s expression and said directly, “The Not Missing Home House chose to fight in groups. Each side invites friends. There is no limit to the number of people.”
This was the plot of the bald big leader and the others. Anyway, Li Mu seemed to be alone. The Not Missing Home House ran all kinds of businesses in the underground city of the Constellation Demon Mountain and could buy a lot of killers and devils in the northern region. In terms of quant.i.ty, their people could definitely defeat Li Mu.
But now, they had shot themselves in the foot.
What was the use of so many people?
Li Mu only needed one helper, Sword Savant, to kill them all with one strike. No matter how many people faced the Sword Savant, they would be courting death.
That was the number one Sword Whiz in the world.
Li Mu looked at the bald big leader and said, “Oh, that’s exactly what I want. I like group battles the most. Ha… After all, I can rely on a lot of people, such as my big brother, second brother, third brother…”
“I was wrong.” The bald big leader did not hesitate. Without waiting for Li Mu to continue counting, he lowered his head and said, “Our Not Missing Home House admits defeat and is willing to pay the fine to replace the challenge.”
There was no other way. What was Li Mu counting? He had mentioned the six major hooligans of the Brotherhood of Swords. If these six people gathered together, not to mention their Not Missing Home House, even the entire underground city of the Constellation Demon Mountain would have to kneel.
“Oh, fine,” Li Mu said lightly. “Someone raised the price at the auction for the spoils and made me spend 80,000 fairy crystals. Alas! My heart hurts. I feel regretful just thinking about it.”
The bald big leader said, “We are willing to pay the fine of 80,000 fairy crystals.”
Li Mu calculated again and said, “The appearance fee of my elder brother, Sword Savant…”
“Apart from 80,000 fairy crystals, we are willing to pay another 50,000 as compensation for our rudeness this time.” At this time, the bald big leader showed his decisiveness as the leader and became generous.
“Oh,” Li Mu replied and added. “The mental damage compensation for being threatened by you…”
The bald elder brother said, “We are willing to compensate you another 50,000 fairy crystals. Young Master, this is all the savings of our Not Missing Home House over the years. If Young Master is still not satisfied, I can only cut off my head for you.”
“How could I want your head? It’s disgusting. You’re so ugly,” Li Mu said. “Well, it’s a deal for the time being. Hurry up and pay me. Don’t force yourself. If you don’t want to give me so many fairy crystals, we can fight.”
“No, I’m not forced.” The bald big leader said with sweat all over his face.
All the people of the Not Missing Home House felt their hearts bleeding.
However, there was nothing they could do about it.
Now their heads were hanging in front of other people’s swords. If they didn’t admit defeat, once they fought, they would die under the sword of the world’s number one Sword Whiz, no matter who they were.
If they died, they would have nothing anymore.
The Green Ox Taoist looked at Li Mu speechlessly.
The others looked at Li Mu smiling as if seeing a little devil wagging its tail.
The Not Missing Home House was miserable. Originally, their fourth leader pretended to be tough and provoked someone he shouldn’t have provoked. As long as the Not Missing Home House admitted defeat, it would be over. However, the bald man and the others were unconvinced and challenged again. They became even more miserable.
They had lost 180,000 fairy crystals in a deal. Maybe their savings over the years were about to run out.
They were so miserable!
Everyone firmly remembered Li Mu’s appearance.
From now on, this person would be ranked first on the list on which the people couldn’t be provoked.
Li Mu got the fairy crystals very smoothly.
He didn’t expect he would suddenly become a rich man.
He felt so good to get rich in an instant.
After the bald big leader and the others gave him the fairy crystals, they couldn’t wait to leave with sad looks.
The communication between the Sword Savant and the Crazy Dragon Roaring ended simply.
There was no relations.h.i.+p between the two. Seriously speaking, the Crazy Dragon Roaring was inferior to the Sword Master whether in reputation or status. If it weren’t for the hospitality of the host, he might not even be qualified to speak in front of the Sword Savant.
After going back to the room of the inn, Li Mu felt a little better.
“Alas! We wanted to leave, but someone insisted on giving us money.” Li Mu took out 50,000 fairy crystals and handed them to the Green Ox Taoist, saying, “Everyone has a share.”
The Green Ox Taoist waved his hand repeatedly and said, “No.”
Li Mu said directly, “Just take them. Don’t be so polite with me.”
The Green Ox Taoist took them away.
After that, Li Mu took out another 100,000 fairy crystals and happily sent them into the room. Then, he said, “Big brother, please take them to treat other brothers to drinks.”
The Sword Savant accepted them without even looking at them.
The number one Sword Whiz in the world was just that forthright, regardless of whether it was to others or himself.
After a quarter of an hour, Li Mu and the others packed up and left the underground city of the Constellation Demon Mountain.
On this trip to the Constellation Demon Mountain, except that the Green Ox Taoist hadn’t bought the target, other goals had been achieved, and Li Mu had even gained a lot.
The only embarra.s.sing thing was that when they left, the Golden Princess of the Feather Clan and the woman named Ling Junshuang did not wait for their families to come to redeem them. The Feather Clan was too far away, it was reasonable that people did not come in time. It was beyond his expectation that Ling Junshuang’s family and friends did not come.
If the two beauties stayed in the underground city of Constellation Demon Mountain, they would be in great danger.
Li Mu had no choice but to take the two girls back to the Sanctuary of the Way for the time being.
In the periphery of Constellation Demon Mountain, there was an Ice Plateau. Thousands of kilometers of land were frozen, and snow was drifting.
The rolling mountains covered in white snow seemed to be dancing like silver snakes. The snowy highland and hilly areas seemed to be running like waxy white elephants.
“Alas! What a pity. I wasn’t prepared enough and didn’t manage to get the Realm-breaking Diagram.”
Zhao Wuji was extremely disappointed.
The people of the Sword Fire Sect were on their way back.
“Big brother, will we let that little b.a.s.t.a.r.d off just like that?” Zhao Wuyu was still slightly disgruntled.
Zhao Wuji said, “It doesn’t matter. I’ll send some guards to kill this imposter. But I don’t know what happened to Old Mu.”
Li Xuanjun, the direct disciple of the Sword Savant, frowned slightly. Then he stopped in mid-air, cupped his hands, and said, “Brother Zhao, I have other matters to attend to, so I want to bid my farewells here.”
Zhao Wuji said in surprise, “I haven’t had time to spar with you in swordsmans.h.i.+p.”
Li Xuanjun smiled. “It’s okay. There will be another chance. Hmm? Who is it?” He suddenly looked ahead.
Zhao Wuji and the others also reacted and looked forward.
Just then, in the clouds in the void, a tall and thin elder slowly walked over. He had long hair, which was half white and half black. He had a thin face and a black narrow broadsword in his hand. His killing intent surged like raging waves.
“Dugu Can, Lunar Eclipse?”
A trace of surprise appeared on Li Xuanjun’s face.
Zhao Wuji and the others were also shocked.
He was the second leader of the Dragon King Society, known as a fierce man.
Zhao Wuji knew he had broken the rules of the underground city in Constellation Demon Mountain when he sent Old Mu to kill the Heavenly Sword. At that time, he thought he had done a secret job. But now, when he saw Dugu Can, he suddenly felt a little guilty. He quickly covered up his face and said respectfully, “Senior Dugu, why are you here?”
But Dugu Can ignored him.
Dugu Can seemed to regard him as a wisp of the air.
“You’ve come to the underground city of the Constellation Demon Mountain. How can you leave?” Dugu Can slowly raised the black broadsword in his hand and pointed it at Zhao Wuji’s old guard with a bamboo hat.
Li Xuanjun was taken aback.
Zhao Wuji and the other disciples of the Sword Fire Sect didn’t react in time.
What was going on?
All eyes were focused on the old guard wearing a bamboo hat.
“Ha… I didn’t expect to be discovered.”
The old guard sighed and took off his bamboo hat, revealing a square face with a big nose and a wide mouth. His eyebrows were as red as swords, and he had a full beard. He looked fierce and powerful. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.
“Master?” Zhao Wuji was startled.
This person was the chief of the Sword Fire Sect, Red Refining Sword Master.
The other members of the Sword Fire Sect had never expected that the head of the sect had been secretly following them.
“Give me the sword.” The Red Refining Sword Master reached out his hand.
Zhao Wuji was stunned for a moment. Then he immediately handed over the divine sword, Red Refining, that he had bought with great difficulty to his master.
“Dugu Can, now that I have the divine sword Red Refining, it won’t be so easy for you to stop me.” The Red Refining Sword Master laughed confidently.
“Stop you?” Dugu Can shook his head and said, “I’m here to kill you, not to stop you.”
“Do you have a grudge against me?” The expression of the Red Refining Sword Master changed.
Dugu Can shook his head and said, “No.”
“Do you have any hatred for me?”
“No.”
“Then why are you so aggressive?”
“The true future leader of the Sword Fire Sect wants me to kill you.”
“What?” The face of the Red Refining Sword Master suddenly changed.
Li Xuanjun, the direct disciple of the Sword Savant, also looked extremely shocked.
The real future leader of the Sword Fire Sect? Could it be that the Red Refining Sword Master in front of him was a fake?
The news that the legacy of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless was revealed during the auction for the spoils in the underground city of the Constellation Demon Mountain spread wildly in the upper-cla.s.s martial arts circle of the entire Battlefield of Chaos.
Such news could not be concealed at all.
In addition, the people who had partic.i.p.ated in the auction for the spoils were basically big shots from all over the world. They had their own means of spreading the news. In less than a day, all the qualified martial arts experts knew about it.
The world shook.
After returning to the Sanctuary of the Way, Li Mu did not return to his Bamboo Retreat. He went to visit the head of the Sanctuary of the Way first.
Sword Savant went with him. The three of them spent the whole afternoon discussing in the Hall of Virtue. It was not until nightfall that Li Mu came out of the Hall of Virtue in the thatched cottage and returned to the Bamboo Retreat.
The Sword Savant put down the chess strategy and returned to the Brotherhood of Swords at night.
On the third day, Li Mu and the Green Ox Taoist left the Sanctuary of the Way.
Another day pa.s.sed.
They were in a dense forest shrouded in immortal mist.
“This should be it.”
It took Li Mu and the Green Ox a long time to separate the Death Thorns, which were several meters high, from each other. When they arrived at a deserted but extremely hidden valley, they saw a nine-story demonic altar standing quietly in the mist.
The rotten and withered vines and thorns twined around the broken nine-meter-long demonic altar. Each story was one meter high and covered with gray rocks with a mottled texture. At first glance, the altar seemed to be piled with nine thick and rough rocks.
“This is the Barrier-breaking Altar described on the dark golden paper. As long as we activate it, we can go to the Ziwei Star Zone.”
Li Mu was overjoyed.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
Suddenly, a stream of light flashed in the distance as a figure rushed over.
