Li Mu and Hua Xiangrong killed the armored guards of the Heavenly Deity Clan and the Heavenly Fox Clan lying in ambush around the Heavenly Fox Temple and left.
They carved out a bloodstained way. As the broadsword and sword flashed, they killed all the armored guards standing in their way, no matter how strong, loyal and brave the latter were. They got rid of the guards like hurricanes blowing rice husks about, without any hesitation or delay. None of the Heavenly Deity Clan and the Heavenly Fox Clan was a match for them.
Screams and wails rang out constantly.
The armored guards of the two clans suffered heavy losses.
After Li Mu and Hua Xiangrong left, some people suddenly remembered something even more terrifying.
“Why haven’t the king-level masters lying in ambush showed up?
“Could it be that…”
“Something’s wrong. Hurry up and find the young master!”
Some armored guards of the Heavenly Deity Clan were frantically searching for their young master. Some masters of the Heavenly Deity Clan had a bad feeling.
Their young master, Huangfu Chengdao, was nowhere to be found.
The Pontifex Vulpes, Bai Yuanshou, who had retreated to the rear, was trembling as he looked in the direction into which Li Mu and Hua Xiangrong disappeared.
The fight ended before he had time to seek the ancestor’s help.
The unexpected defeat made him feel exhausted both physically and mentally.
He knew it better than others.
Even if all the armored guards lying in ambush around the Heavenly Fox Temple were wiped out today, it would not be a tremendous loss to the two clans. After all, the two clans had cultivated countless geniuses and masters over the years. The real problem was that Li Mu and Hua Xiangrong had very formidable talent and strength.
Once the two of them rose, they would definitely pose a huge threat to the six major clans.
Their power was simply terrifying.
Peerless figures like them only existed in the legends about the Dark Yellow Army when it was in its prime.
“Am I supposed to ask our ancestor to suspend the closed-door training and come out?”
Bai Yuanshou pondered what he should do.
Before the ancestor started the closed-door training, he instructed that no one was allowed to disturb him during the training even if the sky caved in.
If the ancestor of a clan among the six major clans came out first, the clan would gain a great advantage and stand out from the rest.
“Should I wait a little longer?”
Bai Yuanshou hesitated as he ordered the survivors to clean up the battlefield.
“Here’s my order. Nobody shall tell others what happened today. Keep it confidential!” He said loudly.
“Li Mu, you’re finally back.”
Hua Xiangrong rested her head on Li Mu’s shoulder and held Li Mu’s big hand tightly with her little hand. She didn’t want to be away from him for even a second.
It was only after she regained what she had lost did she realize what the most important thing in her life was.
She did not want to experience the pain of losing Li Mu again for the rest of her life.
Touched by Hua Xiangrong’s mood, Li Mu took her into his arms.
Back then, during the fight with the ancestors of the six major clans, Li Mu didn’t know that he had gotten the nine-headed divine bird’s runes of immortal soul. When he felt that he was doomed to die, time seemed to be passing very fast and yet very slowly, and everything that he had experienced seemed to recur in his mind. The fate of the Earth, the whereabouts of the old faker, the people on the Heavenly Land, Qing Feng, Ming Yue, Mr. Guo… various scenes and the faces of many people popped into his mind one after another.
There were only three people that he cared and worried about the most.
One of them was Hua Xiangrong.
Li Mu’s care for her was deep to the bone after they did what husbands and wives did.
He realized that he was so affectionate and attached to Hua Xiangrong that he could not bear to be separated from her at all.
Fortunately, fate favored him, giving him another chance for rebirth.
He decided that he would never ever ignore the people around him.
“Rest assured. For the rest of my life, I will always be by your side. When we get back to the Heavenly Land, I will hold a wedding ceremony,” Li Mu said firmly, smelling the scent of his lover’s hair.
A beautiful smile flashed across Hua Xiangrong’s face.
The Gold and Silver King under their feet pretended that she didn’t hear anything and lowered her head. All that she could do was to endure their display of affection.
“It’s inhuman.
“At least, I’m a female, too.”
The Gold and Silver King secretly complained.
In the blink of an eye, Li Mu and Hua Xiangrong arrived at the posthouse.
“My lord, you are finally back. That’s great.”
Seeing Li Mu and Hua Xiangrong, Zheng Wei’an was overjoyed and felt relieved at last.
“How’s everything going?” Li Mu asked.
Zheng Wei’an said, “We have sent Bu Feiyan and her sister out of the Imperium Vulpes Divine City, but we haven’t found Miss Bi Yan yet. We have also arranged for other people having connections with you to leave the Imperium Vulpes Divine City successively. Under the cover of the commotion that the Lady of the Clouds and you caused in the Heavenly Fox Temple, everything is going smoothly. In addition… we’ve collected the map and information about the main residence of the Heavenly Fox Clan that you need. The little princess, Daji, is now in the city.”
Upon hearing that, Li Mu went over the map and relevant information and said, “That’s good. Hua’er, Mr. Zheng, and the people of the Dark Yellow Army in the city should leave here first. I’ll go and pick up Daji.”
Main residence of the Heavenly Fox Clan
Clap!
All the gifts, jade ware, and dresses sent into the room were thrown to the ground.
“I’m not going to marry Bai Bufu. I don’t agree.”
Daji stepped on the dresses and shouted angrily, “I want to see Li Yidao.”
The maids of the Heavenly Fox Clan around her looked helpless. All that they could do was to lower their heads and try to persuade her gently.
Three days ago, the ancestor of the Heavenly Fox Clan showed up, solved some matters, and arranged for the little princess, Daji, to marry Bai Bufu, the only son of the Pontifex Vulpes, Bai Yuanshou. He instructed that the two of them must get married within ten days. Theoretically speaking, it was a bit absurd for the elder brother and his sister to get married, but in fact, Daji was just Bai Yuanshou’s adopted daughter. The two of them had no blood relations, so their marriage was not that inappropriate.
Moreover, the ancestor of the Heavenly Fox Clan made such an arrangement for a purpose.
Bai Bufu had been keeping a low profile all the time, and he was not as well-known as another outstanding youngster of the Heavenly Fox Clan—the young master of the Green Fox Tribe. However, only a few high-level members of the Heavenly Fox Clan knew that in terms of talent, strength, wisdom, and cultivation level, Bai Bufu was even more outstanding than Huangfu Chengdao, who was known as the number one young master in the Ziwei Star Zone, let alone the young master of the Green Fox Tribe. He already reached the intermediate level of the King Realm twenty years ago.
He was peerlessly talented.
This was Bai Yuanshou’s opinion on his son and one of the reasons why the ancestor of the Heavenly Fox Clan thought so highly of Bai Bufu.
The Heavenly Fox Clan did not intend to hold a big ceremony for this arranged marriage. They just wanted it to happen within the clan and be completed as soon as possible. Therefore, when Bai Yuanshou went to ambush the Lady of the Clouds, the people of the main residence of the White Fox Tribe completed the preparations for the wedding ceremony.
Now, the only problem was that Daji, the little princess, did not want to get married.
To be more accurate, she was not only unwilling to get married, but also determined to resist it to death.
Since Bai Yuanshou had no time to deal with it, things became even more difficult.
“Don’t stop me. I’m going to get out of here and enter the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm to find him…” Daji gnashed her teeth and rushed out of the room. The maids hurriedly tried to stop her. Like a mad lioness, she shouted loudly, “I don’t believe it. I’m sure he is not dead. I’m going to find him.”
As she shouted, tears welled up in her eyes.
The maids were all in a panic.
Daji was forbidden from going out, and her cultivation had been sealed. It was impossible for her to get out, but the maids did not dare to hurt the little princess.
Suddenly, a voice rang out from outside.
“All of you can leave.”
It was a cold and indifferent male voice.
The maids immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly responded in unison, “Yes, my lord.”
The visitor was Bai Bufu.
He was a handsome young man with a graceful bearing and the unique look of the Heavenly Fox Clan’s bloodline.
After the maids left, only Daji and Bai Bufu were left in the room.
“I would rather die than marry you,” Daji said angrily.
Bai Bufu turned around and slowly closed the door.
Slap!
He raised his hand and slapped Daji in the face, sending her flying. She fell to the bed.
