Chapter 422: The Underworld
The Five Elements Spirit Sword is a seventh-level Taoist weapon. Li Mu is only at the middle stage of divine transformation and cannot fully exert its power. However, with the blessing of this sword and a large number of six Step Puppet, there should be no problem in terms of safety during the trip to the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Area-Shui Mansion Secret Realm.
With such confidence in his heart, Li Mu stopped delaying, took a few beasts with him, and set off for the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars. He first passed through the teleportation array in the sect and quickly arrived at the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars. Xuantian Sword Zong’s residence.
Revealing his body from the teleportation array on Tianling Island, a salty and damp breath brought by the sea breeze rushed towards him. Li Mu did not stay too long. Under the respectful greetings of several Jianzong disciples, he went straight to summon The Yuanling Ship came out and flew away with the beasts to the sea area of the secret realm of Shuifu.
Tianling Island, the main hall where the Xuantian Sword Sect resides.
A god-transforming sword cultivator hurried to the main hall and reported to the elder on duty, Fang Yunjian, that Li Mu had arrived in the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars via the teleportation array.
After learning the news, Fang Yunjian frowned and murmured to himself: "Elder Li, you have come to the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars, what are you going to do this time!"
Li Mu's identity is quite important. Specially, it is the Nine Demons Sect, the thorn in the flesh of Dana, the Lord of the Blood Demons. Last time, because of his appearance, all the monks on Ten Thousand Stars Island were slaughtered. Although the Lord of the Blood Demons, Dana, is dead. , but other ethnic groups in Moyuan still harbor strong hostility towards Li Mu.
Li Mu's appearance in the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars is very likely to cause considerable turmoil.
"Send additional patrol personnel to strengthen patrol visibility." Fang Yunjian pondered for a moment and looked at the Transformation Sword Xiu ordered: "Immediately send a message to nearby disciples, asking them to pay close attention to Elder Li's movements. If there is any abnormality, they must report to me as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
The god-transforming sword cultivator happily accepted the order and hurried away.
Fang Yunjian paced back and forth in the hall, thinking about various scenarios that might happen.
A few days later, the Earth Spirit Ship appeared in an unfamiliar sea area.
At this time, 'Li Mu' was standing on the bow of the Diyuanling Ship, looking at the beautiful scenery of the sea and sky in the distance. The sea breeze was blowing gently, blowing his clothes, and he was quite fairy-like. Elegant, Qingyue True Dragon is by his side, his spiritual thoughts are out, holding a jade tablet, silently sensing something.
On the jade tablet, there is faint light flowing, and the formation pattern on the jade tablet has a subtle connection with somewhere in the secret realm of Shuifu.
Following the guidance of Qingyue True Dragon, the Diyuanling Ship galloped through the air with lightning speed, and soon arrived at the sea area where the secret realm of Shuifu was located.
“Master, it’s right in front!” Qingyue True Dragon suddenly opened his eyes, looked at ‘Li Mu’ and signaled.
'Li Mu' nodded, and with a wave of his hand, the Earth Spirit Ship's speed dropped sharply, and was then put away by him. Li Mu jumped down and dived into the sea with the Green Moon True Dragon.
Fang Yunjian, who was far away on Tianling Island, also received news from his disciples. He learned that Li Mu had gone deep into the underworld and seemed to be searching for something important.
This information made Fang Yunjian frown involuntarily. The Mingshui sea area, tens of thousands of miles away from Tianling Island, is a sea area beyond the jurisdiction of Tianxuan Sword Sect. The environment there is harsh, sea monsters and birds are infested, and restrictions are everywhere. The important thing is that Moyuan's power seems to be hidden in the area and is difficult to eliminate. Why did Elder Li go here?
With Li Mu's cautious character, he should not be easily involved in danger, but now the situation is a bit unexpected. Fang Yunjian has to consider more possibilities, hesitating whether to inform Sword Master Feng to come out of seclusion and let him He came forward to rescue Elder Li in time.
"Can I contact Elder Li now?" Fang Yunjian looked at the disciple who was reporting and asked in a solemn tone.
"Elder Li has entered the depths of the Nether Water. Our communication talisman may not be able to penetrate the restrictions there. We sent a message through the disciple order, but we did not get a response from Elder Li. The message was also blocked." The disciple of Transformation God responded respectfully.
After hearing this, Fang Yunjian furrowed his brows and felt vaguely uneasy. The Nether Water Sea was a place where the shadows of the Demonic Abyss were active all year round. It was undoubtedly a huge threat to Li Mu.
Why did Elder Li go deep into such a dangerous place alone? What is it that attracts him that is worth risking his life like this?
"Continue to pay close attention to Elder Li's movements. If you find any trace of him or if there is any trouble, report to me immediately." Fang Yunjian looked at the disciples of the Transformation God in a serious tone and ordered.
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Yunjian's figure disappeared into the hall in the blink of an eye like a ghost. He decided to inform Sword Master Feng of this important situation. After all, it was related to Li Mu's life, and Sword Master Feng valued him particularly.
Not long after, Fang Yunjian stood in front of the cave where Master Feng was retreating. He took a deep breath to calm down his excitement, and then gently knocked on the heavy stone door.
A moment later, the stone door slowly opened with a rumbling sound, revealing the deep and majestic face of Sword Master Feng. His eyes were as bright as stars, and his sword intent was high. He was very angry that his retreat was interrupted. His face was serious, and he was angry even if he was not in authority.
"Yunjian, what's the matter with you?" Sword Master Feng looked directly at Fang Yunjian and asked in a deep voice.
Fang Yunjian did not dare to neglect and hurriedly informed Sword Master Feng in detail about Li Mu's deep dive into the Nether Water.
After hearing this, Sword Master Feng’s eyes flashed with a strange color, and he fell into deep thought. He still remembered the abnormal persistence shown by the Blood Demon Lord Dana before to Li Mu, and even went so far as to besiege Wanxing Island with all his strength, just for the sake of After capturing him, now that the blood demon lord Dana is dead, Li Mu appears again in the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars. There must be an unknown secret hidden in it.
Could this be related to another sealed place? Sword Master Feng's heart moved, and along this line of thinking, he vaguely guessed some truth.
"Elder Li's move is indeed a bit risky." Sword Master Feng spoke slowly, broke the silence, and signaled: "However, he has always been prudent in his actions, and this trip must have deep meaning. We cannot sit idly by and ignore it. You personally Go to the area near the Nether Water and pay close attention to his movements. If there is any situation, Feijian will send a message to me. ””
"Yes!" Fang Yunjian responded, then turned and left.
Soon, Fang Yunjian walked with his sword and galloped towards the underworld.
At this time, in the deep sea of the underworld, the Qingyue True Dragon revealed its true form, a hundred-foot green dragon, walking on the water in the deep sea, 'Li Mu' sat cross-legged and rooted on the dragon's head, his eyes tightly Close it, spread your consciousness, carefully sense the movements in front, and avoid sea monsters and sea monsters.
"Qingyue, stop moving forward and hide your body!"
At this time, Li Mu's spiritual thought discovered something and immediately informed Qingyue of the True Dragon Path.
Upon hearing this, Qingyue True Dragon immediately stopped moving forward and hid itself in a deep trench. Its body gradually becomes transparent, as if blending with the surrounding seawater, making it difficult to detect.
In the Huajie Treasure Mansion, Li Mu's closed eyes suddenly opened, and his consciousness was tightly locked on a body of water in front of him. That was where the anomaly he sensed was located, a place near the secret realm of the Water Mansion. In a hidden underwater cave, there is a group of demon cultivators hiding, two demon cultivators who refine the void, and twelve demon cultivators who transform into gods.
"Why did they appear here?" Li Mu frowned, and he immediately understood the reason.
The Blood Demon Lord Dana and his men should have already discovered the location of the secret realm of the Water Mansion. However, because the sealed land is surrounded by endless water spirit power, its restrictions are intact and indestructible, they have been unable to break through the restricted formation. Because of this, they searched everywhere for the key to enter the secret realm of the Water Mansion, and finally found it. on his head.
Because of his relationship, they were unable to find the key to enter the sealed land, so they naturally chose to send a group of monks to station here, trying to wait and wait for the secret realm to be opened by him.
"Master, what should we do? Do we give up?"
Through Li Mu's reminder, Qingyue True Dragon also discovered the enemies hiding near the secret realm of Shuifu, widened his eyes, and asked.
"Give up, that's not necessary. If the enemy only has these, they should be able to eat them. Since they want to wait and see, then we will give them a 'surprise'." Li Mu pondered for a moment and decided.
The Lord of the Blood Demons - Dana is dead. If there is no strong body in the Fusion Realm stationed here, Li Mu is confident that he can cope with the situation in front of him. Moreover, although this group of demon cultivators is large in number, their strength varies. , the garrison time should not be short, and the lack of vigilance can just take advantage of this weakness.
Qingyue True Dragon's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.
“Let’s not act rashly first and observe their movements.” Li Mu reminded Qingyue True Dragon and arranged: “We will take action after we find out their full strength and patrol patterns. Now be careful to hide. Don't let them find out about your body shape."
"Yes, Master!" Qingyue True Dragon responded, the aura of the green dragon scales all over his body shrank, and his body shape and aura completely melted into the deep sea.
In the next twenty days, Li Mu and Qingyue True Dragon have been secretly observing the movements of those demon cultivators. They found that although this group of demon cultivators were very vigilant, they often changed their guard and patrolled, paying close attention. They were following the movements around them, but their actions also showed certain patterns. Living in the deep sea for a long time has made these demonic cultivators have bad tempers, and they often have disputes and conflicts with each other.
There are a total of 36 of them, 4 of them are refining the void, and 32 are the gods. They are divided into four groups, and they are divided into two groups to take turns patrolling, or changing the guard and resting. Every seven days, a group of monks will leave the deep sea and go to the surface. Go out and hunt monsters for three days.
"They need to relieve stress and find training resources." Li Mu thought to himself, while a new plan gradually took shape in his mind.
A few days later, when a group of demon cultivators left the deep sea as usual to hunt demon beasts somewhere, Li Mu led the beast masters to ambush them on their return route in advance.
As night falls, the sea surface is sparkling. Li Mu, Qingyue True Dragon, and Red Fire Phoenix are hiding in the dark, quietly waiting for the return of their prey.
Not long after, Demon Cultivator Xue Jing, who was in the Void Refining Realm, led his subordinates to finish hunting the monster beasts and returned with a rich harvest of prey. They had been suppressed in the deep sea for too long, and this hunting excursion made them in a good mood. They laughed and laughed along the way, completely unaware of the murderous intention lurking in the dark.
As they gradually approached the ambush circle, Li Mu took a deep breath, silently counting in his heart, and then launched a long-planned attack. With a light flip of his palm, a flying sword flashing with the five elements of spiritual light was like a shooting star. It was shot out instantly, aiming directly at the throat of a god-transforming demon cultivator.
The god-transforming demon cultivator suddenly encountered such a swift and violent attack. A trace of surprise flashed across his face, and he instinctively used his shield weapon to try to block this fatal blow.
However, he never expected that the power of this Five Elements Spiritual Sword would be so amazing. The flying sword was like breaking bamboo, piercing through his shield weapon in one fell swoop. It was so fast that he couldn't even make it in time. make any reaction.
The Five Elements Flying Sword instantly penetrated his neck, blood spurted out, and his fire of life was extinguished instantly, and even his soul had no time to escape.
The Five Elements Spiritual Sword did not stop after killing the target. It made a flexible turn in the space as fast as the wind, and whizzed away towards the second god-transforming demon cultivator again. Seeing the tragic death of his companion, the demon cultivator was horrified, but it was too late to escape.
With a muffled sound of "poof", the Five Elements Flying Sword penetrated the magical weapon and the body again. The second god-transforming demon cultivator also followed in the footsteps of his predecessors and was pierced by the flying sword and died.
When the gods and demons cultivators saw this scene, their dead souls burst out and fled in all directions. The originally neat team instantly collapsed, leaving only the Void Refining Demon Cultivator Xue Jing standing alone and helpless.
"Bastard!" Xuejing roared angrily, his eyes revealing strong murderous intent. As a strong man in the realm of refining the void, when had he ever suffered such humiliation? Seeing his subordinates die tragically at the hands of the enemy one by one, the anger in his heart burned brightly.
“Die!” Xue Jing, the Void Refining Demon Cultivator, roared angrily, disappeared from the spot in an instant, and threw himself violently at Li Mu, who was exposed.
Faced with the angry charge of the Void Refining Demon Cultivator-Xue Jing, Li Mu appeared extremely calm and showed no fear, and continued to flexibly control the seventh-level Taoist soldier-the Five Elements Spirit Sword, with a thundering force. Kill the remaining demon cultivators. These monks at the same level as him looked so fragile under the sharp edge of the Five Elements Spiritual Sword, and they were unable to withstand the unparalleled power of the sword.
Under the control of Li Mu, the Five Elements Spiritual Sword is like a dragon swimming in the sea. It suddenly rises into the sky and suddenly dives down. Every time the sword is swung, a demon cultivator falls down. The sharpness The blade seems to be able to cut everything, whether it is a magical weapon or a physical body, they are as fragile as paper in front of it.
The Void Refining Demonic Cultivator-Xue Jing turned into a ball of blood and killed Li Mu in an instant. At this moment, five figures appeared behind Li Mu in an instant, and they each sacrificed their life treasures.
The Qingyue True Dragon waved the True Water Silk Ribbon and turned into a thousand-foot water dragon. The aura flashed and roared towards the bloody light
The Red Refined Fire Phoenix activated the Heavenly Fire Cauldron, and the blazing flames spurted out thinly. came out and gathered into a flock of fire sparrows, roaring towards them.
Blue-eyed Jin Yuan held a golden long stick, which turned into a dazzling golden light, like a whip of heavenly punishment, shot out of the air, and struck the opponent fiercely.
The Jade Ginseng King used the Mu Yuan Spirit Staff to form a big green hand, and thousands of green spiritual vine tentacles surged.
The black jade rock is sacrificed to the huge rock and green mountain, as if the towering mountains are pressing on the top, turning into a blue beam of light, as powerful as thunder.
Five sixth-level spiritual treasures quickly merged to form a five-element formation, which suddenly covered the head of the Void Refining Demon Cultivator. The five elements interacted with each other to form a colorful light curtain, and the five elements of spiritual power were in the light curtain. The flow seems to contain endless power.
Refining Void Demonic Cultivator-Xue Jing was trapped in the Five Elements Formation, and felt the spiritual power of the Five Elements around him surge towards him. He quickly gathered the Blood Light Law Domain to resist, and he was suddenly trapped deep in it, trying to break through. The restraint of the Five Elements Formation was extremely difficult. The five elements were mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. His blood-light domain seemed to be suppressed by invisible forces in the Five Elements Formation, making it difficult for him to exert its due power.
Seeing this scene, Li Mu showed a satisfied smile, controlled the Five Elements Spirit Sword, and continued to kill the escaping god-transformation demon cultivators, and would deal with this strong Void Refiner later.
