Chapter 435 Why Didn’t You Tell Me Sooner?
The four cultivators in black clothes, who were beaten by Li Mu, finally became quiet. They looked at Li Mu with fear and didn’t even dare to say anything.
Whatever Li Mu asked, they would tell him.
“We are all disciples of the Hunyuan Sect. We just came here three days ago to fight for the opportunity, but we didn’t expect that as soon as we entered the Divine Tomb, we’d meet you two masters…” The hook-nosed man lowered his eyebrows and looked down with flattering smiles.
“The Hunyuan Sect?”
He had never heard of it.
No wonder they dared to rush up to show off when seeing Li Mu. It turned out that they had not figured out the situation and had never heard of Li Mu.
However, this time, he finally caught living cultivators from outer s.p.a.ce. Li Mu had a lot of questions to ask.
“How much do you know about this tomb?” Li Mu asked, “Do you have a map of the tomb?”
He believed that the extraterrestrial sects must have known something since they had come here at all costs to fight for the Divine Tomb. Otherwise, there was no need for them to strive for it if they did not know the reason.
There had to be something they coveted.
“This…” The hook-nosed man was a little hesitant.
Li Mu immediately went up and punched him again, directly making his hook nose bent. He said with a fierce look, “You still don’t say it. Believe it or not, I, Yue Guoxiang, will beat you to death with one punch.”
The expression on the hook-nosed man’s face turned a little awkward as he said, “Master, I have seen Senior Brother Yue from the Tianyi Palace before…”
Guo Yuqing almost laughed out loud.
Li Mu suddenly flushed, and then hit the man impressively, saying, “Why didn’t you say that sooner, huh?”
“Don’t, don’t beat me. I’ll talk, I’ll talk…” The hook-nosed man was going crazy. It was really unlucky to meet such an abnormal master. When he came here this time, the sect had also chosen the date using the almanac. How could he be so miserable?
“The map is in our mind,” the tall and thin man said timidly.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished his words, he saw that Li Mu stared at their heads, as if he really wanted to break open their heads with a punch to look inside. He was immediately scared and hurriedly said, “If I die, the map will be gone. I can be your guide and take you to the depths of the Tomb of the G.o.d of Sin.”
In the end, inside the bodies of the four unlucky disciples of the Huayuan Sect were pressed Taoist Talismans by Li Mu, which then turned them into captives. With a flattering smile on their faces, they led the way.
“Wait a minute. Don’t worry. Search carefully.” Li Mu pointed to the ruins around him and said, “All the armors, weapons, and treasures must be collected for me. Don’t slack off.”
He soon found a way to display the value of the four captives.
“Perfect.”
It was much faster than searching by himself.
Li Mu looked around, expecting to capture another few ignorant disciples of the Hunyuan Sect. How wonderful it would be to capture them all as coolies.
Guo Yuqing couldn’t stop laughing when he saw that.
His third younger brother was truly a cute demon.
In fact, Guo Yuqing himself was not a dull and rigid person.
Otherwise, how could he have succeeded in pursuing Liu Zhiyuan, the Virgin G.o.ddess of the Wendao Academy? She was a world-famous beauty with excellent talent. Guo Yuqing’s appearance and condition could only be labeled as average, so how could he be loved by this beauty?
He was also a romantic person.
As a result, he and Li Mu dealt with those captives together.
…
…
Sitting next to Ming Yue, w.a.n.g s.h.i.+yu held her chin and asked, “Sister, aren’t you bored waiting here?”
“Sister, it is so boring,” Ming Yue replied pitifully.
When she said this, the little girl looked eagerly in the direction of Lin’an City, where there was the black light. As an enthusiastic speculator, she knew that there was a grand show in the city, but now she could only wait. It seemed that she was really killing time.
“Do you want to go to the Divine Tomb and have a look?” w.a.n.g s.h.i.+yu asked.
Ming Yue’s eyes brightened as she said, “Yes, I do.” But she immediately hesitated and said, “But Young Master doesn’t allow me to go there. What’s more, he also needs to take care of Qing Feng.” She had sworn to him.
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+yu said with a smile, “It doesn’t matter. You can ask the experts of the Beggar Gang to take care of him. We can sneak in and have a look. If there’s any danger, we’ll just retreat.”
Ming Yue’s eyes lit up again.
But in the end, she shook her head and said, “No, I have to guard Brother Qing Feng in person.” She did not trust outsiders.
“I’ll go with you.” A voice came. Qing Feng quietly appeared behind the two. With a calm face, he sat in a wheelchair and was pushed by Yuan Hu.
“Brother Qing Feng?” Ming Yue was stunned.
“Why didn’t Qing Feng take the initiative to listen to the Young Master this time?”
…
…
“Young man, are we going to search for him in the ruins all the time?” The hook-nosed man smiled ingratiatingly and looked at Li Mu. He was afraid of being beaten.
“Who is your brother? Call me master.” Li Mu widened his eyes.
Hook-nosed man: “…”
At this time, Li Mu had already put on a whole set of armor, though in a mess with different colors and styles.
Guo Yuqing did the same. The armor was in a mess, and he carried a red spear on his back, as if he was performing an opera.
Two long-sabers were hanging from Li Mu’s waist.
When standing together, the two of them were like two soldiers from a martial arts drama, without the demeanor of a master, but shamelessly asking people to call them master.
“Master, as far as we know, the real treasures are all in the central tomb area. This is just a peripheral field, which was left behind after the Heavenly Army of the Heavenly Courts died in battle. Although they are also valuable, they are far inferior to those precious treasures of the Immortal Generals…” The tall and thin man said with worry, “We are wasting time here, and we will lag behind others.”
Li Mu looked at the hook-nosed man with a fierce face and asked, “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
The hook-nosed man almost cried out.
“I wanted to say so sooner, but did you let me say it?”
Another disciple with joined eyebrows thought that Guo Yuqing was still easy-going, so he suggested, “Big brother, in fact, we can try to go to the core cemetery area.”
Guo Yuqing said, “Who is your elder brother? Call me master.”
The unibrowed man: “…”
“Did we meet two fools?”
The four even wanted to die. There was no way to reason with them.
They searched for more than four hours in the ruins like dogs, and found more than 100 high-quality Taoist instruments, which were all occupied by these two lunatics. They felt that is was so heartbreaking.
Li Mu, on the other hand, burst into laughter.
“That’s right. Brother is smart. A master and an expert. The names are not only cool, but also low-key and meaningful.”
After a discussion, they decided to go to the central cemetery area according to what they had said. They couldn’t waste all their time on trivial objects.
When they pa.s.sed by the ruins, they saw a black hall in front of them.
“Master and expert, the core is in front of us, which is the place where the Heavenly Courts Divine Generals died. There are Taoist treasures…” The eyes of the four disciples were full of ardor.
Li Mu and Guo Yuqing looked at it carefully.
The black main hall, like a ghost, was filled with traces of dark mist, with clearly-heard shrieks and clouds of black ghost shadows whistling around, as if they would eat people.
As soon as he stepped into the central cemetery area, Li Mu’s face suddenly changed.
A weird formation power pervaded the air, which was the strongest energy to suppress the martial arts pract.i.tioner’s natural qi. Li Mu felt that the qi of the Southern Fire Emperor, Eastern Wood Emperor, and Central Yellow Emperor in the center of his body were all suppressed, but he could not activate it out of his body. He could only channel it through the meridians in his body.
He looked at Guo Yuqing.
Guo Yuqing nodded. Obviously, he also felt the power of this formation.
“Master, there is a Demon-suppressing Formation set by the Powerful Divines in primitive times, used to suppress and destroy the souls of the dead holy Generals, lest they come back to life and create chaos. As long as anyone enters the formation, their cultivation will be suppressed, so they can’t release natural qi and Taoist power, but can only activate it inside their body…” the hook-nosed man explained to Li Mu honestly.
He was afraid of being beaten again if Li Mu became suspicious and said, “Why didn’t you say so sooner?” Then, Li Mu would hit him.
“So that’s how it is.”
There was no need to worry too much. Anyway, this formation treated everyone equally, since anyone who came in would be suppressed in cultivation.
As they stepped into the central tomb area, the closest to them was a black hall called the Yunxiao Palace.
“You go ahead.” Li Mu did not hesitate to ask the four to be the first ones.
The hook-nosed man, unibrowed man, and the other two people felt desperate, but they didn’t dare to disobey. They just carefully led the way.
Fortunately, there was no formation or secret barrier at all.
They entered the hall successfully, but as soon as they entered the hall, they heard someone shouting and fighting outside.
Some people were fighting.
Li Mu immediately became energetic.
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, this pestle belongs to our Liuying Clan. Get out of here.” A hoa.r.s.e voice was first heard, and it sounded extremely overbearing.
“Pfft, little bug of the Liuying Sect, do you know what this pestle is called? Do you know where it came from? You don’t know anything. How dare you speak so arrogantly here?” A woman’s voice, full of killing intent, was heard.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
A wave of powerful Taoist force fluctuation, like a raging tide, shook the whole Yunxiao Palace.
Li Mu and the others approached and found that a short man in black armor who looked funny was fighting fiercely against a woman who was holding a knife in both hands and dressed in a black muslin dress.
Outside the battle ring, a half-meter-long stone pestle was inserted on a treasure plate in the depths of the main hall, which seemed to be made of white jade, sparkling and translucent. Its two ends were round and s.h.i.+ning with layers of treasure light. Obviously, it was not an ordinary object.
“Taoist Treasure!”
The unibrowed man couldn’t help exclaiming out loud.
That stone pestle s.h.i.+ning with treasure light was definitely a Taoist Treasure.
All of a sudden, Li Mu’s eyes were also wide open.
“Good stuff.
“It’s mine.”
He turned into a stream of flowing light and reached out to grab the stone pestle.
