nDown the mountain, Li Mu stared at the surprising weather in the distance.

nHe was still worried that he would not be able to find the location of the Xuan Sect. In fact, he never expected the Xuan Sect to leave themselves exposed.

n“A third level Perfected Person?”

nOut of the six auras, one stood out prominently.

nLi Mu felt threatened by this aura alone.

nHe had never considered that the Xuan Sect would have a third level Perfected Person.

nEven after he trained for many years, he still couldn’t break through to the second level.

nEach level of the Perfected Person was more difficult to achieve than the previous one.

nSure enough, the Xuan Sect lived up to its reputation.

nBut he wasn’t afraid!

nIf he could not kill them, he would just flee!

nAfter he had fought with the Xuan Sectmaster for a few days, he had learned that the Xuan Sect’s lightness skill was rather average.

nLi Mu immediately used his Shenfeng Footwork to go straight to the top of the mountain.

nIn the snowstorm, this technique his was best chance at escape.

nHe wouldn’t reveal this skill to the Xuan Sect, not until the very last moment at least, so that they would be caught off guard.

nLi Mu concealed himself and waited by a path near the foot of the mountain.

nAfter half a day had passed, a disciple of the Xuan Sect finally walked passed him as he made his way up the mountain.

nLi Mu’s sword flashed, and the disciple’s head rolled to the ground.

n“I knew he was up to no good!”

nThe slain disciple was wearing a bunch of gold and silver jewelry. They were all different from those worn by martial arts practitioners.

nWhy did he have so much money on him?

nAnd why was he wearing so much beautiful jewelry?

nThe valuables were all women’s jewelry.

nWas a warrior stealing from ordinary people?

nLi Mu was left with a poor impression of the Xuan Sect’s disciples.

nThey were so overbearing!

nAfter a while, another Xuan Sect disciple came down the mountain.

nWhoosh!

nThere was another dead body at the foot of the mountain.

n“A Perfected Person is coming.”

nBefore long, a strong aura swept down the mountain.

nTwo hundred meters away, Li Mu’s eyes narrowed and he launched forward with his sword.

nAs a second level Perfected Person, he easily and successfully sneaked an attack on the first level Perfected Person.

nThe long sword pierced the chest of the first level Perfected Person.

nIn his moment of death, the Grand Elder of the Xuan Sect was extremely shocked.

nHe never would have thought that there would be someone hiding at the foot of Xuan Sect Mountain, waiting to kill him.

nAnd even more unexpectedly, the person who attacked him was more capable than him.

nIf he was so skillful, why did he need to launch a sneak attack?

nShouldn’t he at least reveal himself and fight in the open?

nIn the Hall of Soul Flickers, another soul flicker in the front row went out.

nAnother person had just died.

nBehind him, Li Mu sensed a second strong aura. He quickly flicked his sword.

nPuff!

nAnother soul flicker in the Hall of Soul Flickers was extinguished.

nIn the Hall of Soul Flickers, Zhao Wu’s mouth was agape as he stared at the two extinguished soul flickers.

nHe hadn’t even recovered from the shock of the the first flicker going out before the second flicker went out too.

nSomething very bad was about to happen!

n“What? Two Grand Elders are dead! How is this possible? The Grand Elders have just gone down the mountain to look for the attacker.”

nElder Tianshu only heard the news after a while.

nHe didn’t believe what was happening at first.

nBut after seeing the extinguished soul flickers, his expression changed sharply.

n“Oh no. That person has almost reached the Xuan Sect. Hurry up and ring the alarm!”

nWhen he came to his senses, Elder Tianshu’s face turned anxiously pale.

nAt this time, the four Grand Elders were about two hundred miles away in the forest.

nA green shadow followed behind one of the second level Perfected Person Grand Elders.

nA Perfected Person mostly stayed in retreat, but today, two of them were heading down the mountain.

nEven a fool would realize that something was off. Li Mu was suspicious.

nSure enough, he quickly discovered that the Perfected Persons had left Xuan Sect using a different path.

nIt was too late for him to set up an ambush, so he used his Shenfeng Footwork and followed them quietly.

nAfter a short while, Li Mu caught up to this person and sneaked behind him.

nPuff!

nThe silver sword pierced through his chest.

nThe second level Perfected Person turned and looked at Li Mu with eyes that were full of surprise, disbelief, and anger.

nEvidently, he was very puzzled and was full of confusion.

n“Sword Twenty-Three! Just like your Sectmaster, you have been killed by my Saint Spirit Sword Technique!”

n“You…”

n“Oh, you want to know who I am! I’m the one you have been trying to kill!”

n“How did you…sneak an attack…”

nPuff!

nHis lifeless body collapsed onto the ground.

nLi Mu shook his head, and then ran off after the other person.

nDong!

nIn the distance, bells sounded from the Xuan Sect Mountain.

nLi Mu stopped and looked back in the direction of Xuan Sect.

nAlarm bells were ringing?

n“I have been discovered!”

nOn the mountain, outside the Hall of Soul Flickers, several elders stared at the soul flickers in silence.

nJust like that, three more soul flickers were extinguished.

nThis represented the deaths of three Grand Elders.

nWhoever was attacking was just too powerful!

nThe Xuan Sect had never suffered such a huge loss before.

nThis person must be very dangerous!

n“Elder Tianshu, all the Grand Elders have left. If they turn back along the way and meet the attacker, wouldn’t it be…”

nWhoosh!

nThe elders suddenly raised their heads in hope.

nIt was then that they thought of a potential problem.

n“The three Grand Elders were killed as soon as they left the Sect, indicating that this person was lying in ambush not far from the Xuan Sect. Three people were killed in rapid succession without a single trace of fighting. Either the opponent is very skillful, or they are very sneaky. If the Grand Elders come back now, will they meet this attacker along the way?”

nIf they met the attacker, the Grand Elders might also die.

n“Quick! Warn the Grand Elders not to return.”

n“It’s too late! We can only hope that the Grand Elders are together with the Senior Grand Elder.”

nIt was indeed too late.

nHearing the bell, Li Mu ran towards the Xuan Sect.

nAt the same time, hundreds of miles away, the three Perfected Persons from Xuan Sect also turned and ran back.

nEven though they didn’t know what was happening in the Sect, the alarm bells ringing meant that the Xuan Sect was in trouble.

nLi Mu stared at the three people in the distance.

nLi Mu ignored the first level Perfected Person and fixed his gaze on the second level Perfected Person.

nAfter killing him, there would only be a single third level Perfected Person and one first level Perfected Person left.

nThe first level Perfected Person would not be an issue. He only had to care about fighting the third level Perfected Person now.

nAfter looking around, Li Mu found a place where the second level Perfected Person would walk past and he lay in ambush!

nThe returning second level Perfected Person was extremely anxious.

nJust as he was about to return to the Xuan Sect…

nWhoosh!

nA sword flashed right in front of him.

nAt this point, it was too late to fight back.

nThe opponent’s sword was too fast!

n“Ah!” He let out a scream so loud it caused the ground around him to tremble.

nIn front of the Hall of Soul Flickers, a group of Xuan Sect elders stared at the soul flicker.

nPuff!

nWhat they were afraid of had indeed come true.

nLi Mu’s sneak attack had succeeded.

nUnexpectedly, the Xuan Sect Grand Elder managed to send out a warning signal right before he died.

n“Who is so bold as to kill the people of the Xuan Sect in our own home?” There was a raging roar in the distance. Following which, a powerful aura flew towards Li Mu.

nLi Mu turned around and fled.

nHowever, the mysterious person didn’t intend to let Li Mu escape so easily, so he and followed Li Mu in hot pursuit.

nAfter a few steps, Li Mu changed direction and ran around the Xuan Sect Mountain instead.

n“I haven’t checked in at the Xuan Sect yet!”

nBesides that, there were still many masters in the Xuan Sect.

nEven though he could easily escape, what would happen if the Xuan Sect decided to launch an attack on the Great Xia Imperial Palace?

nThe only solution was for him to go back to Xuan Sect and fight this old man.

nHopefully, killing a few masters of the Xuan Sect would scare them off.

n“How dare you!”

nSeeing Li Mu heading to the Xuan Sect, the Senior Grand Elder immediately knew what he was going to do.

nHe planned to attack and kill other disciples of the Xuan Sect.

nIf he chased after him, the huge battle that followed might destroy the Xuan Sect.

nBut if he didn’t chase after him, all of his disciples would be killed!

nHe couldn’t let that happen!

nThe Senior Grand Elder face was flushed red.

nThis was an urgent matter.

nLi Mu’s lightness skill was very powerful, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the gate.

n“Checking in!”

nPassing through the gate, Li Mu silently read, “Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully at the Xuan Sect. You are rewarded with the Supreme Xuan Pill.”
