0243. The Storm Is Rising

"I have done everything I should do. I have done my best and obeyed fate."

Li Mu also sighed.

When he thought of the beautiful and mature Mrs. Tang and her two daughters who were as beautiful as fairies, Li Mu couldn't help but feel a little worried and regretful about their fate.

"Please pay more attention. If you have any news about Mrs. Tang and the others, please let me know at any time."

Li Mu said.

"As ordered." Zheng Cunjian bowed.

Then, he asked: "When will the young master plan to leave Chang'an City?"

Li Mu said: "We haven't visited the library of Hanshan Academy and Fengming Academy yet, so we probably have to stay in Chang'an City for a while longer."

Zheng Cunjian's expression changed slightly and he said, "I think it would be better for you, Master, to leave Chang'an City as soon as possible?"

Li Mu looked at him and said, "Oh? Why is this? Could it be that something happened in Taibai County?"

Zheng Cunjian hurriedly said: "Everything is fine in Taibai County. The old lady was taken care of by the female pharmacist Zhao Ling in the county. It is said that she has recovered some eyesight. The county government is under the control of Feng Yuanxing, Ma Junwu, Zhen Meng and the young masters." After sorting it out, everything is in order, but..."

After saying this, he hesitated.

Li Mu said: "Just what? But it doesn't matter."

Zheng Cunjian said: "It's just that recently, the situation in Chang'an City has changed a lot. All forces are gathering together, and people who have heard of Qingshu Dao are also coming. Although Wei Chong is only a branch elder, after all, he also represents Qing Sha Dao's face, if the young master kills him, Qing Sha Dao will definitely not give up. Moreover, there are also Blood Moon Gang, Zhenxi Prince's Mansion, Supervision Department, and even Tianjian Sect. Rumor has it that they all came to Chang'an City because of the death of Master Tianjian. ...Young master, you still need to be more careful.”

Li Mu looked at Zheng Cunjian and said, "Are you afraid that I will be killed? No one can break the spell of the life and death talisman in your body?"

Zheng Cunjian said quickly: "I don't dare. I just think that the young master is a genius and unparalleled in the world. We should not force it at this time. Instead, we should act tactfully. With the young master's talent, it only takes time. In the future, It can surely soar into the sky, so why worry about it?"

Li Mu smiled.

He could also feel some good intentions in Zheng Cunjian's words.

Although this person is cruel, despicable, and greedy for life, he is definitely not a good person, but he is still very easy to use.

"It's not just a matter of time, but I don't have much time." Li Mu said, "Go ahead. If you have any news, just inform me in time."

Zheng Cunjian hesitated to speak, but finally turned around and left.

Li Mu also stood up and left the study.

The defensive formation in the courtyard of [Humbling Room] is a bit outdated. Now that Li Mu's strength has increased greatly, he naturally has to rearrange the arrangement and turn this courtyard into a copper-walled iron wall, like a fortress, which can at least protect Shangguan Yuting and Shi. The safety of the seven beautiful girls will not give Li Mu any worries.

Moreover, after refining the [Five Elements Heaven-shaking Seal], Li Mu had more confidence when setting up the formation.

The role of Taoist tools is not only in battles, but also in practice. The Five Elements Seal can gather the spiritual energy of the Five Elements. The Taoist patterns and formations in it can also be used as a copy of the Five Elements Taoism. At the same time, It can be used to arrange formations and increase the power of formations.

Li Mu took action, digging and digging inside and outside the courtyard, constantly making some repairs.

After the beautiful girls each tidied up their own beds, they looked at Li Mu curiously.

This legendary poetry and martial arts wizard does not look as cold and unapproachable as people describe him to be. Instead, he looks like a little brother next door. He is very kind and funny. From Shangguan Yuting From his mouth, they learned that Li Mu was only fifteen years old now.

It took Li Mu several days to repair the formation before it was completed.

With the help of the [Five Elements Heaven-shaking Seal], Li Mu referred to the Dao pattern formation and rearranged a Five Elements formation inside and outside the courtyard of the [Shabby Room]. A new engraved formation was buried in each of the five locations in the southeast, northwest, and northwest. The jade formula represents metal, wood, water, fire, and earth respectively. Gold is in the center, and wood, water, fire, and earth are divided into four directions.

During the past three to five days, Li Mu did not go out or step out of the second door. He was like a handyman in the "shabby room", tinkering, as if he had completely forgotten everything else.

However, Zheng Cunjian came more frequently, and various news would continue to come in.

In the meantime, there were also some unsighted guys, who were sent by unknown forces at that time, to secretly spy on them, but they were all dealt with by Li Mu, and Shangguan Yuting and others were completely unaware of them.

On the sixth day, Li Mu's repaired formation was completely completed.

At the moment when the formation was in operation, the ground trembled, the well water was like a fountain, the wind and clouds rolled, the grass and trees in the courtyard danced, and colorless divine light surged from all directions and the center, shooting towards the sky. Immediately, the auras of heaven and earth from all directions were directed towards The courtyard gathered together, and the scene at the beginning was truly astonishing. The divine light tornado visible to the naked eye soared thousands of meters into the sky from the courtyard, like a divine pillar supporting the sky.

Shangguan Yuting and Xin'er were used to Li Mu making big noises at every turn, while the other beautiful girls Yingyingyanyan were shocked again. These girls were very smart, so naturally they saw It can be concluded that such miraculous movements were made by Li Mu like a handyman these days.

Xu Waner and Lu Shengnan were both secretly thinking about how to please Li Mu and learn from Li Mu's skills.

Especially the latter, who desperately hopes that Li Mu can help her regain her strength, and she wants to avenge her family's destruction.

Most of the other girls have the same thoughts.

Such a vision naturally caused shock to all parties in Chang'an City.

Some people speculated whether some important treasure was born.

That night, the number of forces from various parties who came to dark red to spy on the courtyard of the shabby house reached its peak.

However, the [shabby room] courtyard under the operation of the formation seemed to be isolated from the world. Even if Li Mu did not take action, no one could sneak in. From outside, nothing could be seen or sensed, so everyone could not see or feel anything. The party was full of people and they were all disappointed.

Of course, after it was confirmed that all of this was caused by Li Mu, all parties became more and more afraid of Li Mu.

The atmosphere in Chang'an City has become increasingly tense these days.

The patrol sergeants on the streets have changed from the soldiers and yamen guards guarding the yamen in the four major branches to the sergeants of the main battle army in the camp outside the city.

The soldiers of the main combat army are not only powerful in individual combat capabilities, but also well-equipped. They can be called fighting machines.

Those selected to patrol the streets are all elites of the main battle army. They are wearing dark red magic equipment, armors and weapons. They have been blessed by warlocks, engraved with warlock star formations, and activated. Has powerful defense and attack capabilities.

Moreover, in addition, every patrolling sergeant is equipped with a star shuttle crossbow, which can shoot ten star-breaking arrows in an instant, which are enough to penetrate the inner aura field of a master-level expert. This is a powerful weapon against martial arts. It is a sharp weapon for masters. If it is surrounded by a patrol group, some preliminary grand masters may be captured.

Under such patrols, the major sects, gangs, martial arts schools, etc. in Chang'an City have become much more honest.

Some martial arts masters and casual cultivators wandering around the city also began to behave with their tail between their legs.

The official has issued a reward notice to capture the remnant of Zhenguo General Tang Chong who escaped from Jiaofangsi.

The portraits of Mrs. Tang, Tang Tang, Tang Mi, Wang Chen and the thin young man in white, the portrait of the prairie people, and the portrait of the man in the silver ghost mask, etc., were all painted vividly. After rubbings with magic techniques, Tens of thousands of them were posted in the streets and alleys, offering high rewards. For even a small clue, you could get a reward of one hundred gold.

After Li Mu saw the reward announcement, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The second prince obviously knew that the man in the Silver Ghost Smiling Mask was him, but after posting the announcement, he did not come directly to arrest him. It was obvious that he was trying to hide his identity, or was it that he was still waiting for the right time?

Li Mu posted the reward announcement on the gate of the shabby courtyard.

The manhunt in the city became more intense day by day.

The patrols of the main battle army, together with the soldiers and yamen guards of the four major garrison yamen, as well as the forces of the major sects, gangs, chambers of commerce, and consortiums recruited by the government, unite like a suffocating invisible giant network. The entire city of Chang'an was shrouded in it, and they were frantically searching for the remnants of the Tang family.

Fighting happens all over Chang'an City from time to time.

Some of the most wanted criminals in the empire and the martial arts culprits pursued by the Supervisory Department were originally anonymous and well hidden. They lurked in Chang'an City for several years without any danger. However, this time they were hunted down by the authorities, which was close to digging deep into the ground. , one after another, like big fish at the bottom of a dry pond, the truth came to light and they were caught.

For these people, luck is extremely bad.

What was even worse was that some demon clans lurking in Chang'an City were also affected and were hunted down and killed.

Most of the monsters that can lurk in human society are great monsters that have reached the realm of transformation. They can change into human shapes and are no different from ordinary people. Ordinary people cannot recognize them at all, or some are born with changes. Although the talented demon-type intelligent race does not have enough cultivation to reach the realm of transformation, they can still disguise themselves.

Some of these monsters have become accustomed to living in human society, and even marry and have children. However, once they are noticed by the patrol, they are immediately hunted and killed mercilessly.

Anyone who has anything to do with the demon clan will be killed.

It is said that the president of a large chamber of commerce took a white fox girl as his concubine without knowing it and gave birth to a daughter. However, after being discovered by the patrol, no matter how he excused himself or apologized, it was of no use. In the meantime, hundreds of people were all killed, leaving no one alive.

In human society, colluding with demons is a serious crime.

In less than ten days, it can be said that a bloody storm broke out in Chang'an City.

However, just like that, the remnants of Tang syndrome seemed to have melted into the air, leaving no trace at all.
