“You’re courting death!”

‘The guards were about to make a move.

“What are you doing? Why aren’t you resting and cultivating? Why are you gathered together?”

The captain of the guards came out of nowhere and scolded.

The hooligans looked at each other and had no choice but to stop.

“Be careful!”

After giving Li Mu a warning, they turned around and left.

Li Mu smiled.

He was actually threatened by a group of hooligans.

At night, Li Mu’s figure disappeared and appeared in a valley a hundred miles away. He signed in and returned.

Checking in here could obtain 8,000 power.

It was even more powerful than the Cloud Mist Mountain.

After Li Mu left, a few hooligans entered Li Mu’s room.

“Where is he?”

“It seems that they knew that we were going to make a move tonight and dodged in advance.” action

“Humph! If we let him go tonight, he might not be so lucky in the future.”

A few days later, the guard captain gathered all the guards in the courtyard.

Li Mu knew that the job of courting death was coming.

“This time, you are not allowed to ask about the items we are escorting on the way. You are not allowed to ask about the route we are taking…”

‘The guard captain emphasized.

In short, it was a secret.

Li Mu pursed his lips. He had thought that these guards would keep it a secret.

A spy had already appeared in the upper echelons of the family. What was the use of keeping it a secret from these guards? At most, these guards would not be able to react in time at the critical moment and the cannon fodder would be very peaceful.

Soon, the team set off.

Li Mu followed behind the group. His guard uniform was very inconspicuous among the hundreds of guards.

Every time he crossed a col, Li Mu would silently check in.

Most of the check-ins were still useless.

“It would be great if we suddenly encountered a passage!”

Immediately, Li Mu lay on a pile of goods and closed his eyes as he thought.

‘A few rogue guards rode unicoms around the convoy, seemingly patrolling.

Soon, these hooligans appeared around Li Mu’s carriage.

“This little bastard is actually hiding in the carriage. We have been looking for him.”

“Brother, should we make a move now or…”

The hooligans looked at their boss.

The leader glanced at the captain of the guards not far away and suppressed his displeasure. “Wait! When the convoy rests, I don’t believe that this guy won’t go out to relieve himself. Xiaoliu, keep an eye on him.”

“Isn’t this letting him off too easily!”

“Hmph, he’s the first one who’s not convinced by us. After dealing with him, he’ll have a bright future in the family.”

“This kid is indeed a good candidate for us to make an example out of.”

As time passed, the convoy rested many times.

Apart from eating, most of the drivers and escorts entered the forest to find a place to relieve themselves. However, a few hooligans who were watching Li Mu realized that the silent young man had never used the toilet and did not eat much.

“Is he still human?”

“What kind of monster is this!”

“It’s not good to make a move now!”

After traveling for another two days, a few hooligans found an opportunity and were about to attack Li Mu when a group of mountain bandits appeared and disrupted their plans.

“Don’t be discouraged. We have plenty of opportunities to deal with him!”

At night, Li Mu’s figure disappeared again.

After walking for half a month, they were already very close to Qing Ling.

Li Mu crossed Green Ridge and went straight to a small mountain a hundred miles away from Green Ridge.

‘The houses here were crisscrossed with stone carvings everywhere.

Judging from the patterns on these stone carvings, a sect had once appeared here.

However, at this moment, there was a group of bandits living in this abandoned sect.

Li Mu’s figure appeared here.

He was rewarded with a charm pill.

“Interesting.”

The pill was extremely effective on the primordial spirit and could stabilize it. This pill was a treasure to Li Mu.

Moreover, even if this pill was thrown out, it would still be very useful for the primordial spirit of experts above the emperor-level.

Li Mu did not expect such a place to receive such a huge reward.

“Nothing special. It’s just an abandoned sect.”

To establish a sect in such a dangerous place, this sect was not small, but it was not big either. The large sects would definitely find a blessed land or a place with rich vitality.

“Let’s take a look. Maybe there’s a difference.”

Li Mu’s figure flashed and came to the depths of the ruins.

A moment later, a weak prenatal qi fluctuation appeared in Li Mu’s divine consciousness.

“A formation?”

At this moment, inside and outside the dilapidated house, bonfires were everywhere. Thousands of warriors and strong men surrounded the bonfires and drank wine.

“We’re rich today. No one would have thought that we would rob a group of girls.”

“Boss, let’s split those girls tonight!”

“That’s right! Tomorrow, we’ll snatch all the living things in the family. Many brothers might never have the chance to play in their lives. This batch of little girls has many purple ones that are not bad. They can comfort their brothers.”

“Alright! Since the brothers have requested, other than the few women in the east wing, you can choose what you want! The ones in the east wing were decided by others. If you hand them over, you must be a virgin.”

In the center of the bonfire, a burly man with a full beard pondered for a moment and said.

Just as his underling had said, it was more important to fight the entire family tomorrow.

Today, it was more important to let his underlings relax and have a good rest.

“Thank you, brother!”

‘The group of underlings cheered.

‘When the women imprisoned in the rooms heard the cheers outside, they immediately curled up.

“Sister, what should we do? I don’t want to die.”

“These damned Qing Ling bandits. When I go back, I will definitely let my father destroy them.”

In the room, the older woman said hatefully.

“Don’t even think about it. The Imperial Court and the sects have sent out so many experts and armies, but they can’t do anything to the Qing Ling bandits. The spies of these bandits have long entered the Imperial Court and cooperated with the various noble families. The 18 Qing Ling strongholds want to

destroy them in one go unless the experts take action.”

A woman in white in the corner said.

His voice was as pleasant as a wind chime.

“How powerful is this master?”

Boom~

As he spoke, a huge pressure came.

Pfft!

‘The women spat out a mouthful of blood and were pressed to the ground.

Then, all the houses collapsed.

“This is… the master is here?”

The girls looked shocked.

‘What kind of expert revealed such a powerful aura?

“Are there masters attacking these bandits, or are there masters coming to save us?”

‘The woman in white was surprised.

Outside, all the bonfires were extinguished the moment the huge aura pressed down.

Perhaps because they were in the center of the aura, several low-level bandits were crushed to death on the spot.

“Who?”

The bandit leader lay on the ground and said in shock.

He thought to himself that he was finished this time.

Did they provoke an expert that they shouldn’t have?

In the cellar, Li Mu opened a box and took out a roll of clothes.

Immediately, a vortex attacked, wanting to devour Li Mu’s primordial spirit.

Li Mu was shocked and swallowed all the pills he had obtained from checking in these days.

At the same time, he circulated his cultivation method to resist.

Boom~

In an instant, his aura erupted, and the bottleneck in his body was broken.

‘The aura of the eighth level of the emperor-level was fully unleashed. His primordial spirit instantly strengthened and confronted the painting.

Li Mu did not know that at this moment, a powerful aura had already swept through the entire Qingling Mountain Range.

Countless bandits stared at the center of the ruins with shocked expressions.

“Run! An expert is coming!”

“Help!”
