Chapter 424 - The Taste of Conspiracy"Oh? I have been in seclusion for the past few years, which means that I only came out during these two years. I really have not heard much about little friend Li Mu"s achievements, I wonder if little friend Xiao Kuan can tell me about it? "
Seeing Xiao Kuan"s fake smile, a glint flashed across Shen Ling"s eyes, but he still asked with a smile on his face.
Xiao Kuan did not mind: "Since Uncle Shen wants to hear it, then listen carefully! My Senior Brother Li, his master went from"s later stage of Tongxuan Elder Chi Yun, and in eight years, he went from the Postnatal Realm to the Divine Arts realm! "
Not to mention the fact that two years ago, he was ranked third among the Four Great Master Heir s. Under the circ.u.mstances where his cultivation was two small stages higher than my senior brother Li"s, he was defeated by my senior brother Li in front of thousands of people in the entire sect! "" That"s right, Senior Brother Li definitely defeated him in front of the strongest Innate Ranker realm experts in the arena.
"If it wasn"t for the rules of the sect that forbid one"s life from being harmed, then Thunderclap would have died a long time ago! It was also because of this incident that my Senior Brother Li was made the fifth Master Heir by the sect master and many elders! "Speaking of Li Mu"s glorious past, Xiao Kuan seemed to be talking about himself as his saliva was flying everywhere. He did not care where he was at all, almost flattering Li Mu to the point of flying to the sky.
"Aiya, looks like I, Shen Ling, am really old now. For such a Heaven"s Pride talent to appear in my cultivation realm in Qin Nation, as the Patriarch of the Shen family, I actually do not know about it. Little friend Li Mu is really good, even if my Shen family were to relax the conditions for a few generations, I still wouldn"t be able to find a Heaven"s Pride person like you! "
After hearing Xiao Kuan"s praising, the gaze Shen Ling used to look at him had an indescribable flavor, and he praised Li Mu endlessly.
Although what Junior Brother Xiao said is the truth, it is more or less an exaggeration. Junior Sister Cai Qing understands me best, if Senior Brother Shen is interested, you can ask Junior Sister Shen when you have free time, that"s right, we have already been here for so long, why have we not seen Junior Sister Shen? I even brought a congratulatory gift from her master, Elder Ruan Qinghong, as well as a few messages.Li Mu smiled and asked Shen Ling. Although he was very polite with his words and revealed a smile, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that there was something else in his words.
"Oh …" Cai Qing is my daughter, and also the young miss of the Shen family. Who would dare to restrict her, and it"s just because the two of you didn"t coincidentally come today, that Cai Qing left early in the morning, and hasn"t returned yet. If she knew that her clan"s people were here, she would have ran over happily already, hehe. "
How could Shen Ling not understand the meaning behind Li Mu"s words? He laughed and explained.
"That"s fine! Since that"s the case, I"ll have to trouble Uncle Shen to prepare two simple and crude houses for us. When Junior Shen returns, can you inform us? Oh... That"s right, Junior Sister Nie Xiaoyu is also a member of my Gold Jade Sect, we can talk much better together, so I hope that she can be responsible for taking care of us two living and living together these few days. After all, we, Junior Brothers are not familiar with the life of the Shen Mansion, so we are not used to other unfamiliar people! "Xiao Kuan smiled and said to Shen Ling, the reason he mentioned Nie Xiaoyu, was naturally because he was afraid that Nie Xiaoyu would be troubled by the people from the Shen family, because from what Nie Xiaoyu said, she seemed to have expended a lot of energy to escape.
"No problem!" No problem! Everything will be as the two of you said! Hehe, Xiao Yu, bring your two senior brothers to rest first. There"s a welcoming banquet tonight! "
Shen Ling intentionally acted as though he did not care and instructed Nie Xiaoyu, causing him to feel joy in his heart. He then brought Li Mu and the others and left the Shen family"s main hall, walking towards the back hall.
Not long after Nie Xiaoyu brought Li Mu and the other two away, seven to eight figures hurried into the main hall of the Shen family from all over the Shen Mansion. All of these people"s cultivation had reached the realm of Divine Arts, and amongst them, there was a older, white-haired old man who was similar to Shen Ling, who was also an expert with early stage of Tongxuan."Patriarch, the two of them do not seem to be friendly, and they also came here together with that girl Nie Xiaoyu. I think they are here to cause trouble!"
Following the entrance of seven or eight people from the Divine Arts realm and above, a middle-aged man spoke with a gloomy expression. All of their cultivation was at the middle stage of the Divine Arts, and most of them were at the late-stage divine ability.
"I know! Although the cultivation level of the two is not high, but it is still very th.o.r.n.y. Forget about the one called Xiao Kuan, but that brat called Li Mu is not someone to be trifled with. His background is deep and unfathomable, and the conversation between me and him, you heard it through the Thousand Li Rune.
Shen Ling had a helpless expression on his face, the people in front of him were all the elders of the Shen family who held real power, the conversation between him and Xiao Kuan just now was pa.s.sed on by special methods."Yeah, I never thought that he would be Li Mu, the Li Mu who has caused so much trouble in my Great Qin Nation all these years. It is said that he is worth a lot now, if I can capture him, I can go to the Ten Nations Merchant Union and exchange him for a reward of five hundred thousand crystal! Five hundred thousand crystal are my Shen Family"s income from entering its treasury in half a year! "
A thin middle-aged man from the Shen family sighed.
"So what if it is five hundred thousand crystal? If something were to happen to my Shen family, at that time, they would anger the Gold Jade Sect, and even if my Shen family has been developing quite well in the past few years, I wouldn"t be able to endure the anger of the Gold Jade Sect. He is Chi Yun"s disciple, and I know that Chi Yun is famous for being a protector.
His name was Shen Jun, and he was the current Great Elder of the Shen family. In terms of position, he was only second to the Patriarch, and in terms of certain aspects, he had more authority than the Patriarch.
If it really isn"t possible, then let"s think of a way to make him disappear forever, then let"s let everyone know what kind of unfriendly person this fellow is, and what kind of att.i.tude that girl Cai Qing has towards us all knows, it is obvious that he invited Li Mu, and maybe he wanted to stop the marriage between his and the Lu Family, we absolutely cannot agree to that! Right now, the Situ Family and the Small Dao and the Heaven Sect are pressing down on our Shen Family, sooner or later a war will break out, and if we cannot tie the Lu Family onto my body, my Shen Family"s hard work for so many years will go down the drain! "An elder of the Shen family said with a face full of indignation.
"Stupid!" If he, Li Mu, forever disappears from my Shen Family, before the Situ Family can even fight with my Shen Family, the Gold Jade Sect will first eliminate us! You have to know, that brat is one of the Master Heir s, the so called successor is a symbol of face for the Gold Jade Sect, even if we let Li Mu forever disappear, in order to protect his own clan"s reputation, how could the Gold Jade Sect possibly do this to us! "
"We can"t do anything to Li Mu. On the contrary, if we can win him over, then that would be a huge help to our Shen Family. After all, this so called Master Heir, no one can guarantee whether or not he will really become the sect master of a sect in the future. If he has the support of the sect master of a Gold Jade Sect, then I think that his Small Dao and the Sky Sect will not dare to do anything to our Shen Family!"It"s just that the most troublesome part is that he wants to see Cai Qing. When he sees Cai Qing, then we will lose control of many things, and at that time, not only will he help our Shen family, I am afraid that he will even destroy our alliance with the Lu Family!
Great Elder Shen Jun of the Shen family glared at the elder of the Shen family who asked for Li Mu to completely disappear, rejecting the other party"s suggestion on the spot.
"I think we should do this, don"t let him see Cai Qing, for the next two days when the people from Lu Family arrived, we can just leave it to the people from Lu Family. As one of the strongest families amongst the ten strongest families in the Great Qin Nation, we can leave these things to them, we only need to maintain the relationship between the two sides, after all, whether it is the people from Gold Jade Sect or the people from Lu Family, it wouldn"t be best if we don"t provoke them, what do you say?"
After being silent for a while, Shen Ling came up with a more suitable idea, the moment he suggested it, it garnered the agreement of all the elders present, but no one noticed that the Great Clan Elder Shen Jun"s turbid eyes had flashed with a strange light.
The reason why the Blue Cloud Ridge was not small in name within the Qin Nation was because its terrain was too unique. It swept across the area for over a hundred miles, with mountains in the middle, rising and falling one after another. The taller ones were mostly amongst the clouds, and from afar, it looked like a mountain range that connected the sky and the earth.
On this day, a hurried red light quickly flew into the region of the Azure Cloud Ridge. Within the red light, there were two figures. One of them was the owner of the red light.
She was about thirty years old, dressed in red, and her face was covered with a thin veil. Under her protection, she was carrying a blue clothed girl around the age of eighteen or nineteen, and after entering the boundary of the Azure Cloud Mountain Range, the two of them quickly landed on top of a mountain that had risen up from the ground.
"Lan"er, you said that you saw a Buried Spirit Marrow Purification Flower on this mountain. Why haven"t I seen it yet?"After landing on the peak, the one-armed woman used her powerful spiritual sense to scan her surroundings. When she didn"t find anything out of the ordinary, she gloomily glared at the young woman she called Lan"er.
If Li Mu was present, he would definitely be able to recognize his at a glance. This was because she was the outer elder of the Purple Smoke Pavilion s in the Gold Jade City, Yu Hongyi., the two of us sisters have not seen each other for more than twenty years, it is really not easy for me to see you again!
Just as Yu Hongyi was staring at the girl that she called Lan"er, a woman"s light laughter suddenly sounded out in her ears. Although this voice contained a smile, when it entered Yu Hongyi"s ears, it was filled with the sound of a conspiracy …
