Hide in the Banished Palace and Level Up To A Big Boss

Chapter 55: So Strong

At a valley on the border

“So many people were sent there. The eunuch, who is a Swordsman Cultivator, should have been drawn away, right?”

Several elders a asked worriedly.

All of them were fidgeting in anticipation.

They didn’t want to have to confront the eunuch.

He was a Swordsman Cultivator!

“Don’t worry! We don’t need to be afraid even he hasn’t been drawn away! Let’s go to the capital of the State of Great Xia separately. Remember, we need to keep a low profile on the way. Once you are spotted, you might be killed by the Swordsman Cultivator. Don’t blame me because I’m warning you now,”

Zhao Seven said sternly.

After saying that, he disappeared immediately.

The rest of the people stared at each other for a while. Then, they followed Zhao Seven into the nation.

The time had arrived.

They couldn’t hesitate anymore.

In the Shouning Palace,

Under the peach tree, Li Mu was looking at the naked branches.

Another year had passed.

In the imperial palace, almost all the eunuchs who had entered the palace together with him, had gone.

But Li Mu, who was looked down on by many people since the very beginning, was still alive.

Most of those eunuchs who got a good position in the palace died after many incidents of ups and downs.

In the imperial palace, the dead eunuchs would be replaced by new eunuchs soon.

But when Liu An succeeded the throne, he didn’t enroll new eunuchs.

Now, most eunuchs in the imperial palace had reached their middle age.

The eunuch’s work in the imperial palace was not very arduous; even the old eunuchs could still finish their tasks.

In comparison to 40 years ago, the imperial palace now was less vibrant.

The Shouning Palace was in tranquility.

All the neighboring palaces were also lifeless.

“What? Finally, they have arrived! He is still so annoying and disgusting,”

Li Mu said as he turned around and looked up towards the outskirt of the capital.

With furrowed eyebrows, his face was full of disdain.

Then, he stretched his arms and stood up.

Am I their target?

They didn’t need so many experts to kill an emperor.

“I haven’t worked out for many years. This time I am quite satisfied because most of the people he sent here are Perfected Persons. Among these experts, there were three tier-four Perfected Persons and two tier-five Perfected Persons.

Swish! action

Li Mu picked up a long sword and swayed it in his hand as he warmed up his body. Then, he jumped to the highest position in the imperial palace to wait for the invaders.

They was a big noise on the borderline. Are they going to draw me away?

I don’t care who your target is.

I won’t allow you to succeed in your schemes.

A manor outside the capital

This place used to be a summer getaway for a rich family in the capital.

Now, the yard of this manor was full of dry corpses.

In the main hall of the manor

The high-level experts of the Dark Yin Sect were sitting on both sides.

“There are so many Warriors in the capital. The little nuns in the Baiyun Temple look exceptionally delicious,”

One elder said as he licked his lips.

“How can you eat those little nuns? You should at least play with them first before eating them… heh-heh,”

Another guy said with a nasty smile.

“After playing with them, do you still want to absorb them?”

“Come on! Your words make me horny! I can’t wait to get my hands on a few little nuns!”

“When we’re done with this mission, everyone in the capital will be our nutrients. Don’t act too rashly and alert them. Otherwise, they will all run away,”

Elder Qin said.

Greed was flashing in their eyes as they looked at the bustling crowd in the capital.

Zhao Seven closed his eyes.

If the master was set free, everyone in and around the capital would become his nutrient, including these daydreaming elders.

If the master was still locked in that well, anyone who dared to absorb people in the capital as nutrients would be killed soon.

“My lord, what do you say?”

“I’ve told you that you are free to do anything, but only after completing this mission. All of you have obtained the skills and techniques you can acquire later from me. You can wander around in this world or live in seclusion. It’s up to you. Now, let’s talk about our plan…”

Zhao Seven said. Suddenly, he fixed his eyes on a guy in the yard.

When did this guy join them?

“You don’t need to talk about your plan. You have come to this place. And I am your target, right?”

The guy said in response to Zhao Seven’s speech.

Swish!

Everyone in the hall turned around and looked at the guy in the yard.

Who is he?

Everyone in the yard was supposed to know one another.

“A nutrient?”

“A door-to-door salesman?”

“He is so tender!”

Two elders, who were sitting at the outermost, stood up and stared at Li Mu with their reddened eyes.

It was a teenager!

This boy was very energetic.

It seemed this boy had some Cultivation Achievements.

What a perfect piece of nutrient to have, right before their action began!

Zhao Seven stared at Li Mu for a while. Then, he looked away as he slowly reached out his arms and legs.

“Kill him!”

Zhao Seven shouted as he stepped back.

He stopped in a corner, which was a perfect position to attack or escape.

He could see this young man’s Cultivation Achievement clearly.

But the young man’s identity had been revealed by his green robe and the long sword in his hand.

Zhao Seven knew this young man was the one he hadn’t dared to face for so many years.

25 years!

A guy in green always appeared in his nightmares.

In his dreams, this guy in green would always appear when he took up with Liu Rui, or when the Black Dragon Gang or the Dark Yin Sect was thriving.

All these sweet dreams were ruined by that guy in green.

He had tried to forget this guy.

But he failed.

He was not brave enough to face this guy. Also, he didn’t dare to confront this guy in the capital.

Zhao Seven did a lot of thinking before coming here.

This time, he sent soldiers and many experts from five nations to the border. This guy should have left the capital!

He thought the task would progress as planned.

It’s hard!

It’s so hard!

That guy showed up at last!

Zhao Seven didn’t want to come here if he was not under such big pressure.

“He is mine!”

Several elders at the Supreme stage of the Saint-level rushed towards Li Mu immediately.

“All of you, attack!”

Zhao Seven asked several elders at the level of Perfected Person to attack Li Mu.

He knew those elders at the Saint-level couldn’t rival Li Mu at all.

Swish!

Their eyes were blinded by something.

Flop!

Several heads fell to the ground.

One of the victims was an elder, who was a tier-one Perfected Person.

“What?”

The experts at the level of Perfected Person who had approached Li Mu were shocked.

At the same time, they could sense great danger.

Oh, no!

All of them activated their Fields at the same time.

“Are you going to show off your fields in front of me?”

Li Mu said with a disdainful smile.

Immediately, he activated his own Field, and wrapped the Perfected Persons in it.

Crack!

The next moment, people heard the sound of breaking fields.

Puff!

“You!”

“He is so powerful…”

Swish!

The light of Li Mu’s sword flashed in the yard.

Those elders were beheaded instantly.

The rest of the experts at the level of Perfected Person, who disdained to attack Li Mu at the beginning, were dumbfounded.

How powerful is his aura is!

How magnificent is his field!

“He has reached the upper level of the Perfected Person! Only an upper-level Perfected Person can activate such a big Field,”

Elder Qin shouted.

The Elder stayed behind when everyone attacked because he didn’t want to lose his face in front of so many people.

That’s how he survived.

Swish!

The rest of the members of the Dark Yin Sect turned pale.

He is an upper-level of the Perfected Person!

How could an expert at the upper level of Perfected Person be found in the South Continent?

“Are you…the Swordsman Cultivator in the imperial palace of the State of Great Xia?”

“Yes, it’s me, if you didn’t find other swordmasters in the imperial palace.”

Li Mu said as he curled his lips in disgust.

He glanced at the remaining members of the Dark Yin Sect in the hall.

At last, he fixed his eyes on Zhao Seven.

“Did you… wipe out the Xuan Sect?”

When Li Mu nodded his head, these experts at the level of Perfected Person changed their expressions abruptly.

The Xuan Sect’s miserable conditions were still fresh in their memory.

Most of them kept warning themselves to stay away from this guy. They should do their best to avoid this guy’s reprisal.

“Yes! Your legs are shaking. But it’s useless. Since you decided to seek death, I guess you are ready to die.”

Flop!

An elder dropped on his knees before Li Mu finished his words.

“Can you… can you spare my life? All I wanted to do was to live longer. I only absorbed villains and rascals.”

This Swordsman Cultivator was too powerful. He was even more horrible than nightmares.

Escape?

Could they run away?

The Xuan Sect used to be extremely powerful.

But seven experts at the level of Perfected Person were killed by this guy’s sword at one time.

Now, this guy had reached the upper level of Perfected Person!
