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

Zhou Hua blinked her eyes and stared at Li Mu in disbelief.

Did her beauty trick work on Li Mu?

Was he persuaded?

If she had known that a beauty trick and some flattering words could persuade Li Mu, why did she wait all this time?

“You are right! But in this case, we will never be able to fix our relationship with Qianyuan Sacred Ground,” Chu Qing said as she turned to leave.

It would take a lot of time for those people to find them. If those people failed, they would gradually forget it.

But if the group of people were killed, there would be a feud.

“The sacred ground wants to unify the whole Zhongzhou. It’s a great goal. So, they wouldn’t offend us with something trivial like this and ruin their plans.”

“Sir, the orphan of Taiyue Sacred Ground isn’t something trivial.”

Li Mu left swiftly after he said this.

But he regretted it as he made his move.

Why was he involved in this?

It was about Qianyuan Sacred Ground. How did it affect him?

Damn moral education in his previous life! Damn “be a good man” theory!

Damn his instinctive ideas!

These kind of thoughts weren’t suitable in this world at all.

When he got back, he would go for a Secluded Cultivation.

Out of sight, out of mind.

He should just check-in properly to improve cultivation.

Meanwhile, more than thirty people had surrounded the three people at the campfire on the opposite side,

“You traitors!”

The old man held the blade with his right hand and covered his chest with his left hand.

He swept at the people around him with hatred. These ungrateful bastards!

“If we can kill you and capture the young miss and young master, we will become the personal disciples of Qianyuan Sacred Ground. At that time, we will get more resources and methods, better than in Taiyue Sacred Ground. So, if we fail, we will end miserably. We have no choice,” another one on the west side said.

“Asshole! What is Qianyuan Sacred Ground?” the old man shouted as he spat blood.

“You know how powerful Qianyuan Sacred Ground is. They want to unify the whole of Zhongzhou. They have the strength and ambition to do that. What can we do?” the man on the tree said with disdain.

The old man wailed. “Aren’t we just going to eliminate the noble clans and build a long-lasting and clear Taiyue?”

“A fine bird chooses a bird to nestle in. Elder, just cut the crap. People in Taiyue only care about fighting with each other. No matter who lives and who loses. After a thousand years, new noble clans grow and the inner fights continue.”

“Stop! You can kill me, but young miss and young master are innocent, please let them go.”

“No way!

“Good, very good! The sectmaster’s disciples come to kill the sectmaster’s kin! Ridiculous. Come on!”

The old man suddenly reached out his left hand and threw the siblings away, then rushed towards the crowd.

“Go!”

The sound of swords clashing resounded in the dense forest.

This was followed by the sounds of swords piercing into flesh. The forest was no longer quiet.

The man on the tree reminded his fellows. “Don’t forget those two brats.”

Then he ran in the direction that the siblings were at.

Suddenly, a sword qi appeared on the top of the tree. The man suddenly stopped in the sky and was cut into pieces.

But the tree was still the same one. No leaves fell and no cuts appeared.

His men didn’t even know where the sword qi appeared from.

In the forest, many people suddenly shattered into pieces and disappeared into the crowd.

“Invisible sword qi! Something’s wrong, there are sword qi masters in the forest!”

Someone soon noticed that something was wrong and turned around to run.

But the next second they were chopped into pieces by the sword qi that came from nowhere.

The experts from Qingmu Sacred Ground had their expressions change sharply when seeing their own men dropping in front of them.

“I’m afraid we are right, it’s the one from Snow City.”

“Is it possible that someone is imitating him?”

“Look at this! Can anyone else do this?”

The people of Qingmu Sacred Ground looked at each other and said nothing.

The one from Snow City killed so many experts of Clan Feng with one punch. And he even didn’t show his face.

“Damn it, how did we meet them?” They knew that they didn’t have any hope of surviving.

At first, the group of people from Qingmu Sacred Ground thought that the carriage was so flashy and good-looking that not many people could imitate it.

“Boss, we might have messed with the wrong people.”

“What’s wrong?”

The leading one of Qingmu Sacred Ground said loudly: “We shouldn’t mess with the owner of that carriage. We can’t finish the task tonight, but also…”

Everyone in the entire forest heard his words clearly.

At this time, whether he said in a loud voice or small voice already didn’t matter.

It also didn’t matter whether they had the will to fight the people in the forest or not.

They were all going to die anyway.

“What?”

A Perfected Person froze for a moment.

The others also paused. Then they withdrew their swords, and took two steps back.

Had they messed with someone with higher cultivation?

How could that be?

“It’s the man from Snow City!” The leading one of Qingmu Sacred Ground yelled out.

“You all deserve to die! Come on! You’re all going to die tonight. Nice daydreams! The resources of Qianyuan Sacred Ground? You are just their free pawns. You deserve to die since you want to help Qianyuan Sacred Ground to unify Zhongzhou. Resources? Methods? You will get nothing. You might survive in one or two missions, but in the long term… You will get nothing!”

The seriously injured old man laughed out loud.

Blood kept coming out of his mouth as he said this. It was obvious that he was going to die.

“First, kill this old thing!” One Perfected Person rushed towards the old man.

The old man extended his field and blocked him. He had the advantage because of his field.

His opponent also extended his field.

With a huge sound, the two fields collided with one another.

A moment later, a shattering sound rang out in the forest. The old man fell down.

The experts of the sacred grounds in the forest didn’t feel relieved when seeing the old man die. Instead, they became more nervous.

Many disciples were nervous because of what the old man said before he died. Obviously, they believed it was true.

Was it too late for them to regret it now? They had no way of escaping.

In front of the carriage, Li Mu took out the things that still could be used from the carriage and placed them back in the system space. He got most of these things from check-ins, including a Prenatal Qi Gathering Formation.

Li Mu slowly left after putting these things away in his space.

He just needed to help the siblings escape.

Back at the opposite side of the forest, Li Mu found Zhou Hua and Chu Qing.

“Where’s Tingting?”

“Maybe she went to find you?”

“Okay, get ready, let’s leave now. Don’t think about finding any lodging tonight either. After we get out of this forest, let’s… What?” Li Mu suddenly stopped talking and looked back.

Chu Qing and Zhou Hua were listening carefully at this time. When seeing Li Mu’s strange expression, they also looked back towards the opposite of the mountain forest.

Soon, three people appeared in front of them.

“Tingting… you…” Zhou Hua covered her mouth with surprise.

“Senior, I’m Gongsun Qiuyun, thank you for saving my life.”

“Yes, Senior, thank you for saving my life. I’m Ziyang.”

The two siblings noticed that Tingting looked sheepish after seeing Li Mu.

They looked at each other and paid respect to Li Mu.

It was obvious that the person in front of them, although they couldn’t see his face clearly, was the most powerful one in this place. It seemed like he didn’t even care if Qianyuan Sacred Ground would take revenge on him.

“Forget it!” Li Mu raised his hand and rolled his eyes at Tingting.

“Senior, you guys go now! We will go in the opposite direction after taking a break. We might be able to buy you some time with that.”

“Don’t think about that, Tingting has brought you out. How can I let you go? Besides, we are involved in this, we can’t escape now.” Li Mu shook his head.

He was too kind, but he didn’t expect his disciple Tingting to be too kind either.

…

In the Hall of Soul Flickers of Taiyue Sacred Ground, Qingmu Sacred Ground.

Several flickers dimmed with some black smoke.

“Something’s wrong!”

“What the hell has gone wrong? We sent so many Perfected Persons at Supreme Levels and they still can’t kill the two siblings?”
