The practice didn’t last long.
Li Mu stopped practicing when he felt that the improvement began to slow down as he practiced the Xiantian Skill and Zhenwu Boxing.
He realized that his previous quick progress had something to do with the practice before his rebirth. The way that the runic flames of immortality worked was somewhat similar to “reading files”. After the “read files” after his rebirth, he had broken several martial arts bottlenecks and entered the King Realm directly. It was all because of that drop of divine blood of Bai Jun the God of War.
The divine blood had completely merged into this brand new body. However, it was not easy for him to realize the full potential of the divine blood. He still needed to practice for many years.
After all, it was a drop of a god’s divine blood that had been nurtured for thousands of years.
Of course, more importantly, he didn’t have time to continue practicing.
He had to get out of this place as soon as possible.
He had to save the Machete Loli’s life with the Soul-replenishing Heavenly Herb.
“How long has it been?” Li Mu turned around and asked.
“Ah?” The Gold and Silver King froze for a moment and then realized that Li Mu was asking her. She said, “The ancestors of the six major clans left the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm about two days ago.”
“Has it been two days?” Li Mu frowned.
He waved his hand. The Samsara Knife flew into his hand, making a delightful sound, as if it had reunited with a long-lost friend.
Li Mu said, “You know how to get out of the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm, right?”
The Gold and Silver King rolled her eyes and said, “I know, but I won’t tell you unless you take me with you.”
Li Mu looked at the Gold and Silver King.
The Gold and Silver King said, “From today on, I will be completely loyal to you, fight alongside you, and be at your disposal… I know the way out, but I can’t do it myself. Bro, you can do it, so please take me out of this place.”
Li Mu nodded and said, “Well, if you make a blood oath to be loyal to me, I will take you out.”
This bat king always ran away whenever she encountered danger. Li Mu did not have a good impression of her, and he found it difficult to trust her.
The Gold and Silver King hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and said “Fine, I accept your condition.”
Li Mu performed the Taoist magic arts, signed a blood-oath agreement with the Gold and Silver King, and completely controlled her.
Then, he found the lost storage devices and the jade medallion in which the Soul-replenishing Heavenly Herb was stored.
The ancestors of the six major clans focused all their attention on the divine blood. They did not care about Li Mu’s personal articles, so they did not take those articles away.
Some jade medallions were shattered, and the things stored in them turned into powder. Fortunately, only some unimportant stuff like fairy crystals had been lost.
Later, Li Mu found the head of Bai Jun the God of War, some feathers of the nine-headed divine bird, and some body parts of the giant dragon-eating ape—Rock and the giant demonic corpse—Li Tian and buried them in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm.
“Honorable seniors, may you rest in peace. I will surely take revenge for you.”
Li Mu mourned in silence in front of the tomb.
He had only met those in the tomb a few times, but he respected their spirits. Their existence in the universe was the biggest reason why the Dark Yellow Army could survive after the betrayals that almost caused its complete destruction.
“The Dark Yellow Army will definitely make a comeback and rule this land. I swear.”
Li Mu placed some nameless flowers in front of the grave without a tombstone.
He had to get out of the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm as soon as possible.
With the Gold and Silver King leading the way, the two of them traveled several million kilometers and came to a boundless ocean.
It was a very large vast expanse of sea with raging waves.
“It’s called the Ocean of Mist. Legend has it that there is a sea eye in the depths of this ocean leading to the outside world. A flood dragon in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm once accidentally went out through this sea eye and then returned through it. That is what my men heard by accident,” the Gold and Silver King said.
Blood bats had a natural fear of water, which was their fatal weakness. Even though she had become a king, she was still not good at controlling water, so she hoped that Li Mu could take her out.
Li Mu nodded his head.
Without a token, it would be very hard to get out of this place.
He had thought about getting out of here by soaring into the air, crossing the atmosphere, and flying through the universe. However, the problem was that without clear coordinates, he would get lost easily, and even if he didn’t get lost, it would take a very long time to get out of here in this way.
What Li Mu lacked most happened to be time.
He decided to find legendary sea eye.
About half a day had passed.
“It should be right here.”
After searching for a long time, Li Mu saw a tornado-like whirlpool with a diameter of one hundred meters in the dark water about ten thousand meters deep. Inside the whirlpool, there were signs of space storm, which reminded him of the space vortex accompanied by thunders and clouds on Mount Shu.
At that time, Li Mu came from the Earth to Mount Shu through that natural space-time vortex.
“Let’s go.”
Li Mu performed his Taoist magic arts to protect the Gold and Silver King and directly rushed into the whirlpool.
“Ah-ah-ah…” The Gold and Silver King screamed like a pig being slaughtered. She was so scared that her face turned pale.
Her biggest weakness was the fear of water.
For her, rushing into a whirlpool was as terrifying as going through hell and high water.
The strong feeling of tear, vibration, and collision lasted for about half an hour.
Li Mu suddenly felt that the pressure around him was relieved.
The blue sky and white clouds came into sight.
“This is… the Imperium Vulpes Divine City.”
After taking a quick glance, Li Mu immediately recognized it.
Back then, he saw those sceneries when he accompanied Bi Yan to look for her parents. This place was not far from the beautiful village where the Divine-winged Fox lived. The sceneries were beautiful and pleasing.
“It’s good news.
“We have come to the Imperium Vulpes Divine City.”
“Ah, I’m finally out. I feel like I’ve escaped from a cage. Is this the world outside the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm? Ha-ha, this is great… I’ve finally gotten out of that world full of dangers. Ha-ha-ha…I’m free now!”
After adapting to the surrounding environment for a short while, the Gold and Silver King immediately grew excited.
She had done something that many blood bats couldn’t do in a lifetime.
Li Mu glanced at her.
She had reached the peak of the King Realm. Such a cultivation level might not be a big deal in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm, but it was extraordinary in the Ziwei Star Zone.
The chief of the White Fox Tribe, Bai Yuanshou, was at the peak of the King Realm. With such a cultivation level, he already ranked among the top five masters in the Ziwei Star Zone.
Of course, the monsters lurking in the dark like the ancestors of the six major clans were not included in the list.
“Let’s go to the posthouse first to inquire about the situation and save the Machete Loli by the way.”
Li Mu had come up with a plan. He immediately set out for the posthouse together with the Gold and Silver King.
He had probably guessed that the people in the Imperium Vulpes Divine City were not friendly to him. He didn’t know if the ancestors of the six major clans had left the city, so he had to act carefully. He changed his appearance and hid the Samsara Knife before setting out.
About half an hour later, they arrived at the posthouse.
His face changed when he saw the posthouse.
The posthouse almost fell into ruin as if a battle had just broken out. In the air, there was a faint aura familiar to him. The posthouse was encircled and heavily guarded by numerous silver-armored guards. The atmosphere was very tense.
“Something is not right.”
“Bro, is the person you’re looking for in there?” The Gold and Silver King said arrogantly, “Are those silver-armored guards our enemies? They’re so weak and pathetic. Ha-ha, bro, let me kill them all.”
“Shut up!”
Li Mu glared at her.
The Gold and Silver King immediately stopped talking.
Li Mu observed the posthouse with his Third Eye for a moment. When he confirmed that Hua Xiangrong, Bu Feiyan and her sister were not inside, he became a little anxious. However, he soon “saw” that the Posthouse Officer, Dongfang Piaoliang, was still in the posthouse.
He was a little hesitant. Finally, he decided to ask Dongfang Piaoliang about the situation.
Relying on his Taoist magic arts, he covered his tracks and avoided being detected by the silver-armored guards. He entered the half-destroyed posthouse, came to the Posthouse Officer’s room, pushed the door open, and walked into the room.
For the last couple of days, Dongfang Piaoliang had been like a cat on a hot tin roof. He didn’t know what to do.
When the trial practice in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm ended, Li Yidao’s identity was revealed, and many unexpected things happened, which spoiled his plan. Everything that he had planned fell flat.
The news of Li Yidao’s death had dealt a heavy blow to him. Although he was still hopeful now, the hope in his heart began to fade away as time went by.
“What should I do? I have inquired of all information channels about him and used all the pawns and spies that I can use. However, the news from the Heavenly Deity Clan is still his death…”
Dongfang Piaoliang paced back and forth. His fat face wrinkled like a crumpled piece of paper, full of worries.
When the door was suddenly pushed open, he said without even looking back, “Didn’t I tell you? Nobody is allowed to come in without my order… Get out.”
He thought it was a guard of the posthouse.
The door was soon closed. Instead of getting out, the visitor came in.
It was not until then that Dongfang Piaoliang realized that something was not right. He raised his head and saw a stranger in a black robe with a big gold-silver mouse on his shoulder. The strangely dressed stranger stood there and stared at him.
“Who… who are you? How did you break in?” A wary look appeared on Dongfang Piaoliang’s fat face. He drew back subconsciously, stayed away from the stranger, and performed his Cultivation Method vigilantly.
The Imperium Vulpes Divine City had been in great chaos recently.
He had to be on guard.
“What happened here?” Li Mu asked.
“Hmm?
“This voice…”
Dongfang Piaoliang froze for a moment, and then his eyes lit up. He said, “You are… you are…” A name popped into his head. He was overjoyed and excited.
Li Mu did not intend to conceal his identity anyway, so he took out a silvery mask and put it on his face. Then, he took it off and said, “Honorable Posthouse Officer, how have you been? Where are the Lady of the Clouds, Bu Feiyan and her sister?”
“Sure enough, it is Li Yidao.
“No. He is Li Mu.”
Dongfang Piaoliang was so happy and excited that he couldn’t contain himself anymore. He got down on one knee and said in a low voice, “I’m Zheng Wei’an, the chief commander of the ‘Trust Army’. It’s my honor to meet you, Soldier Commander. You’re finally back. I knew that you would definitely get out of the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm alive.”
At an unknown time, a strange isolation barrier appeared without a sound and covered up everything that happened in the room from the eyes of outsiders.
However, Li Mu was dumbfounded.
“What’s going on?
“Dongfang Piaoliang’s real name is Zheng Wei’an, and he is the chief commander of the ‘Trust Army’. He is actually the spy chief deployed by the Dark Yellow Army on the White Earth…
“This is… totally unexpected.”
