Chapter 709 Return to Shanwu

"The seventh-grade Thunder bloodline and the fifth-grade Fengshen bloodline. With these two bloodlines, my combat power will increase again!"

A strong wind enveloped Li Mu's body. Li Mu looked at Thunder and Strong Wind and nodded with satisfaction. Then he checked the repair progress of the Star Destroyer, quietly left the Star Destroyer, and returned to the cave where he was hiding.

Li Mu took a look inside the cave. Nangong Mingyue was sleeping soundly in the cave, and Lian Dieyi was sleeping very lightly. However, because Li Mu was keeping watch, Lian Dieyi felt more at ease and was not easily awakened.

Li Mu thought for a while and released Xia Li directly from the Demon Suppression Tower. According to the agreement between him and Xia Li, once he stepped into the mythical realm of the world, he would release Xia Li and let Xia Li continue to grow and be protected by the demon pill. Due to the suppression of the Buddhist swastikas in the world, Xia Li was unable to grow at all. He stepped into the ranks of the emperor-level demons and transformed from a dragon into a dragon.

Xia Li appeared from the Demon Suppressing Tower. She was still the same as before. It seemed that she had not been locked up in the Demon Suppressing Tower for too long. Time meant different things to the demon clan and the human clan.

"Have you entered the realm of contemporary mythology?" Seeing Li Muxiali frown, she immediately said, "According to our previous agreement, you should lift the ban on me now and let me go!"

"I let you out just to lift your ban!" Li Mu nodded and said. Li Mu is not hypocritical towards most demon clans. He will kill when necessary and show no mercy, but Xia Li is different.

The red lotus karma fire has little impact on Xia Li, which is enough to show that Xia Li does not have a hobby of killing innocent people indiscriminately. This alone distinguishes him from ordinary demons. Moreover, Xia Li did help him a lot. Since there was an agreement before, Li Mu didn't want to break his promise.

Xia Li didn't expect that Li Mu would be so willing and really wanted to let her go. There was a hint of complexity in his eyes. After all, she was a high-grade imperial demon, and the bloodline of the sky-swallowing python was also very high, second only to the true dragon. If it were other If a person catches a sky-swallowing python as a spiritual pet, how can he let it go so easily?

"Your martial arts is pure, without a trace of impurities. It doesn't look like what an eighth-grade Earth Evil Yang Vein can do!" Xia Li looked at Li Mu and said strangely.

"A ninth-grade branch was born in the Earthly Evil Yang Vein in the Qianlong Secret Realm. I defeated other masters and got the opportunity to refine the Earthly Evil Yang power of that branch. I used the ninth-grade Earthly Evil Yang Vein to refine my golden body!" Li Mu said.

"Ninth grade?"

Xia Li's eyes widened. Although she was a sky-swallowing python, she also had a good understanding of the Earthly Evil Yang Vein. The ninth-grade Earthly Evil Yang Vein was very rare even in the whole of China. She didn't expect that Li Mu could find a ninth-grade Earthly Evil Yang Vein. If the pulse comes to refine the body, the opportunity will be great.

"Yes, it's the ninth grade!" Li Mu nodded with certainty and said, "Where are you going when the ban is lifted? I suggest you not to go back to the Lingwu Secret Realm. Too many students died before the Lingwu Secret Realm, and the top officials of Shanwu are still there. If you pursue this matter, you will definitely be caught by them if you go back!"

Although Xia Li is a high-level emperor-level demon with a high-level sky-swallowing python bloodline, he probably has no room for resistance in front of the top experts in Shanwu. Once discovered, he will be caught quickly.

"What, are you afraid that I will betray you?" Xia Li said coldly.

"I'm afraid you'll betray something. I just don't want you to be caught by Shanwu's people. Otherwise, the best outcome for you may be to lose your freedom for the rest of your life!" Li Mu shook his head and said, "Let me lift your ban first!"

Li Mu is not afraid of Xia Li betraying her at all, because even if she betrays Li Mu and claims to be in collusion with Li Mu, who will believe her without evidence? Even if Hong Junxin wanted to nail down the evidence, Xia Li's confession alone was not enough. It would be useless to have a trial with only oral confession before the world changed, not to mention that Li Mu's identity was different now.

Li Mu is now a strong man in the mythical realm of the world, and he has also used the power of the ninth-grade Earth Evil Yang Vein to refine his golden body and entered the mythical realm of the world. As long as such a talented mountain martial artist is not stupid, there is no way he will give up unless there is irrefutable proof. It was useless for Hong Jun to get Xia Li's confession.

After all, Xia Li is a demon. Was she being coerced into testifying against Li Mu, or was she trying to kill a human genius? Who can be sure, because even with Xia Li's confession, Hong Jun can't do anything to Li Mu.

As Li Mu spoke, he took out the Buddhist lantern, and a powerful force of energy was directly injected into the Buddhist lantern. Xia Li saw that the pretty face of the Buddhist lantern changed color slightly. She was too impressed by the Buddhist lantern. After all, the fire of karma The pain of being burned was simply terrifying to the extreme. Even if Xia Li didn't have heavy karma, she didn't want to experience it again.

As soon as the powerful Gang Qi was injected into the Buddhist lamp, the Buddha's light suddenly bloomed, and then bursts of Sanskrit sounds sounded. The Buddhist swastika on Xia Li's demon pill began to flicker slightly, and Xia Li suddenly felt a burning pain. The feeling appeared, and then the Buddhist swastika began to be peeled off from Xia Li's demon elixir.

The Buddhist swastika emerged from Xia Li's demon pill bit by bit, and finally the Buddhist swastika completely separated from Xia Li's dark demon pill.

"boom!"

An extremely strong demonic aura rose into the sky. Xia Li's pupils shrank slightly, and then she slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"What's wrong?"

Lian Dieyi was suddenly awakened when she noticed the overwhelming evil spirit. Her pretty face changed slightly, and she immediately sat up to be on guard. She felt that the evil energy outside the cave was not only powerful, but also seemed to be very close to them. Lian Dieyi slowly Slowly circulate the Gang Qi, not daring to move at all, for fear of disturbing the evil spirit.

Fortunately, after a while, the overwhelming demonic aura began to weaken and eventually disappeared completely.

"What's wrong?" Nangong Mingyue rubbed her eyes drowsily, glanced at Lian Dieyi and asked strangely.

"It's okay, you can go to sleep!" Lian Dieyi hesitated for a while. Seeing that the evil spirit seemed to have gone away, he did not tell her the truth, otherwise Nangong Mingyue might not be able to sleep all night.

"Oh!" Nangong Mingyue agreed vaguely, not noticing anything was wrong, and quickly fell asleep again.

"Perhaps a big demon passed by here!" Lian Dieyi waited for a while, and after confirming that there was no more demonic energy, he leaned against the cave wall and took a nap with his clothes on, not daring to fall asleep again.

"Free at last!"

Xia Li restrained her demonic aura, glanced at Li Mu with complicated eyes, and then turned around and left.

Li Mu watched her back until Xia Li's figure completely disappeared. He looked back at the cave, walked to a seat near the cave and sat down.

After dawn the next day, everyone continued on their way. More than a week later, the magnificent walls of the mountain fortress appeared at the end of their sight.

The Nangong family also has a base in the mountain fortress, but in fact, outside the mountain city, the Nangong family also controls an advance base, which is similar to a small city.

The forward base is nominally under the jurisdiction of the mountain city fortress military, but in fact it has independent jurisdiction. In recent years, twenty or thirty forward bases of various sizes have appeared outside the mountain city. Basically, these bases are all large and small in the mountain city. It was built by aristocratic families, big companies, or big forces.

Some forward bases are surrounded by rich mineral deposits, some are suitable for artificial cultivation of various rare fairy grass elixirs, and some advance bases have important geographical locations and can serve as hubs for trade between mountain cities and nearby fortresses.

These forward bases are at different distances from the mountain city fortress and are not military bases. They are responsible for the security of the base and pay taxes to the mountain city on a regular basis. For the mountain city, once the monsters attack on a large scale, these forward bases are sentry towers. Even if It cannot delay the attack of the monster army, but it can also serve as an early warning.

Therefore, the Mountain City Alliance military also supports the establishment of these forward bases, as long as these bases do not collude with monsters.

The Nangong family is one of the top families in the mountain city, so it is naturally impossible for them to let go of this kind of advance base. They also run such a small kingdom.

"Let's go!"

Li Mu and the others glanced into the distance, then continued on their way. Soon they flew outside the mountain city and fell from the sky. In principle, the mountain city did not allow anyone to fly directly into the city. Unless they were notified in advance and authorized, otherwise they would rashly fly into the city. It is very easy to be attacked by close-range anti-cannon fire if you break through.

The three of them had no prior notification or authorization, so they could only enter the city through the checkpoint. Now everything in the human gathering place wanted to get in.

After all, mountains and fortresses with a population of 20 to 30 million, slums in the outer city and villages in the city have a complex population and chaotic public security. It is not surprising that there are things hidden in them. It is simply abnormal that some shocking and terrifying cases do not happen every day.

Even if the entrance and exit inspections of the mountain fortress are very careful, it is still impossible to prevent something from sneaking into the mountain fortress.

"Identity certificate!"

The soldiers at the checkpoint were holding alloy knives and watching people coming in and out vigilantly. On the sentry tower at the checkpoint in the distance, there was a heavy machine gun with its muzzle pointed directly at this side, ready to fire at any time.

Li Mu and Liandie Yi took out Shan Wu's student ID card, and Nangong Mingyue naturally had his own identity certificate.

"Students of Shanwu?" The soldiers at the checkpoint suddenly became serious when they saw the identity certificates of Li Mu and Lian Dieyi. After saluting, they returned the identity certificates and asked, "Do I need to send a car to take you back to Shanwu?"

"No, we can go there by ourselves!" Li Mu said with a smile.

"I didn't expect Shanwu's students to have such a high status in the mountain fortress!" Nangong Mingyue said thoughtfully as the three entered the city.

"Because every year many students from Shanwu will join the alliance military after graduation and make indelible contributions to the defense of the mountain city. It is normal for them to have a higher status!"

Li Mu said.

After the three entered the city, they jumped into the sky and flew towards Shanwu. It has been two years since Li Mu left Shanwu. When he was forced to leave Shanwu, many people thought that Li Mu's future path to martial arts had been cut off. For the most part, it would be considered his luck to be able to step into the mythical realm within five years.

Unexpectedly, in just two years, Li Mu had reached the level of the first-level myth in the world. Hong Jun would probably be shocked when he saw him again.

"who?"

As soon as the three of them approached the gate of Shanwu's outer courtyard, someone immediately shouted.
