Chapter 834 A Formidable Dog
“Eh? Have they escaped?”
Cloud Light Saintess came to the spot following the trail. When she saw the bloodstains on the rock, she immediately knew that Li Mu and Bi Yan had been here and had a short rest here to recuperate.
“The energy fluctuations in the bloodstains are very strong. They’ve just left.”
A divine general of the Cloud Clan who was very good at tracking drew this conclusion after he conducted a rough inspection.
Cloud Light Saintess tried to use her Water Mirror Technique to find out what happened here, but she soon found that she couldn’t use it. There were some Taoist runes on the spot, which blocked all prying eyes.
“That damned bastard! He moves so fast.”
Cloud Light Saintess gnashed her teeth in fury.
A divine general of the Cloud Clan asked tentatively, “Your Highness, should we release the news?”
Cloud Light Saintess shook her head and said, “Li Mu and that bitch have two key fragments with them. Once the news is released, many forces, including those from famous mountains and great rivers, the major Divine Clans, and the four major sects, will flock to this place. In that case, our chances of getting the keys will be very low. Li Mu and that demonic woman are seriously injured, so they can’t run far. Let’s have our divine generals and masters search for them in every corner of this place. As long as we can find their traces, the two key fragments will be ours.”
Although she was greatly enraged, she remained calm and made the most sensible decision.
The divine general said, “What if the people of the Thunder Clan, the Mist Clan, and the Ghost Clan disclose the news?”
Cloud Light Saintess smiled coldly and said, “They’re all smart people. They won’t do a stupid thing like that.”
After a pause, she continued, “By the way, send some people to that base in Mount Tianxuan to capture all the government officials under Li Mu’s protection. They might be useful at this critical moment.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Thump!
Li Mu swooped down from the sky and plunged into a lake with Bi Yan.
The lake was very deep and cold.
In the water, there were countless ferocious aquatic beasts swimming at depths of thousands of meters. They were extremely powerful creatures in the General Realm and the King Realm. Those creatures were the descendants of fierce beasts living in ancient times. They were not very intelligent, but they were born with great power, and their power grew with time.
Li Mu concealed Bi Yan’s aura and his own aura with his Taoist magic arts so as not to disturb these aquatic beasts.
He didn’t want to kill those aquatic beasts. An odor trail would be left behind if he did that.
He dived to the bottom of the lake, and as expected, he soon found the channel of the underground river.
They moved at least several thousand meters in an unknown direction along the channel. Li Mu activated his Divine Consciousness to detect the surrounding environment. He detected a magnificent mountain range above him, so he went up and dug a secret tunnel leading into the rock mass. Then, he carved out a small room, set out some Breath-concealing Deployments, and took a rest there with Bi Yan.
They had no time to think about other things. The first thing that they needed to do was to take some medicinal pills and divine herbs to restore their powers.
Li Mu had been to many mysterious places in the Star River, including the Everlasting Heaven, the Tomb of the God of Sin, and the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm, and collected quite a few magic herbs and pills. He shared them with Bi Yan, and then the two of them sat cross-legged in the small room and began to heal their wounds.
This time, Li Mu was severely injured and his body was badly smashed. Moreover, he used a considerable amount of his Divine Consciousness when he activated his Third Eye. Now, he felt relaxed and really wanted to close his eyes and have a good sleep. However, he knew that if he fell asleep, he would probably never wake up again.
Sitting cross-legged while practicing the Xiantian Skill, he seized every minute and second to restore his power.
Eight long furry tails of a green fox sprouted from Bi Yan’s body, which wrapped around her body like a green tent and emitted a faint green light. The power of the demonic god surged and healed her internal injuries in a strange way.
“Woof, ha-ha-ha, what? Surrender?”
At the gate of the camp, the stupid Husky riding on his mount——a fierce tiger called “Rotten” looked at the masters of the Cloud Clan closing in on him. He put his paws on his belly and burst out laughing, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
“It seems that you don’t understand the current situation at all. Do you think you can bully the people in the camp just because Li Mu is not here? Ha-ha-ha-ha, let me tell you something. Li Mu is my pet, and I am the real devil that rules everything. You idiots are just blind.”
He waved his paw and said to the people in the camp, “All of you should stay in and not come out. Let me deal with those blind idiots and do some exercises along the way.”
The stupid dog was very excited because this was a rare opportunity for him to stretch and warm up his muscles and joints.
This time, he was not the one who wanted to make trouble. Some people provoked him.
Even if he killed a few people, Li Mu wouldn’t blame him.
“Kill the stupid dog.”
A divine general of the Cloud Clan waved his hand impatiently.
The shadows of several figures crisscrossed.
Two masters of the Cloud Clan rushed forward like lightning bolts. Holding their swords which flashed with cold light, they charged fiercely at the Husky.
As a mount, the demon tiger called “Rotten” seemed unwilling to protect its master.
It thought to itself, “I hope that the people of the Cloud Clan can kill the stupid dog so that I can take the opportunity to regain my freedom and stop serving as the dog’s mount. I’m the king of tigers. Anyone who dares to bully me is going to die.”
It was happily looking forward to seeing the result that it wished for.
However, at the next moment, its eyes widened.
The stupid dog casually waved his paws and pounced on the two masters of the Cloud Clan who were hovering in the air. The two masters split apart like watermelons hit by high explosive bombs and turned into a mist of blood and broken bones.
“What?”
The divine general of the Cloud Clan was taken back.
“This dog is quite fierce!”
“You stupid animal! How dare you be so arrogant? I’m going to cut off your head!”
The divine general of the Cloud Clan decided to kill the dog with his own hands.
He leaped straight up into the air and appeared above the demon tiger with two giant axes in his hands. The blades of the axes were covered with flickering runes. Obviously, they were a type of first-class divine weapon. He raised an axe and slashed at the stupid Husky riding on the demon tiger. The air rolled to both sides as the axe came down and cut through the air like a hot knife cutting through grease.
“He is in the King Realm!
“He’s a real master in the King Realm.
“Unfortunately, he is too weak for me.”
The stupid dog casually raised his paw, clenched it into a fist, and punched the axe.
The air seemed to freeze.
The giant axe stagnated in the air. Then, numerous black cracks appeared and began to propagate from the point of contact between the stupid dog’s fist and the axe. In an instant, black cracks spread all over the cutting blade of the axe and covered the handle of the axe like vines. In the end, the cracks spread rapidly along the handle of the axe to the palm, arm, and entire body of the divine general of the Cloud Clan...
Crack!
The giant axe broke into equal pieces and dropped to the ground.
The divine general of the Cloud Clan holding the axe shattered into pieces, too.
He broke into pieces like a clay sculpture hit by a hammer.
Countless people watching the fight were petrified at this sight.
“What’s going on?”
“Has the divine general of the Cloud Clan been killed?”
“He was killed by a dog in the blink of an eye.”
“This dog...”
“It turns out that...”
“How could a dog be so powerful?”
“What the f*ck...”
“What kind of dog is it?”
The other masters of the Cloud Clan were overwhelmed with shock.
They came here under orders, ready to slaughter the people here to vent their anger. They initially thought that there would not be many powerful masters among the people in this camp and planned to kill most of those people and only spare the lives of a few leading figures. However, things didn’t go as they expected. They wondered why their leader couldn’t even defeat a guard dog and instead was smashed into pieces by the dog with just one punch.
“Tsk-tsk, you’re so weak. You’re really too weak to be a match for me.”
The stupid Husky tried to look calm and relaxed.
“You died before I unleashed my power.”
He glanced at the remnants of the divine general of the Cloud Clan on the ground and looked very disappointed.
The dog’s mount, the demon tiger called “Rotten”, was almost scared to death.
“What the hell! How can this dog be so powerful?
“He killed a master in the King Realm with only one punch like a father beating his son.
“How should I play the game with him?
“It seems that I still have a very long way to go before my suffering can end and I will be able to regain my freedom...
“Oh, did I appear to be a little disloyal just now?”
The demon tiger suddenly panicked when it realized that.
It decided to make it up to its master.
It let out a furious roar with the aura of the king of beasts. Then, it laughed wildly and said pretentiously, “Ha-ha-ha-ha, you’re really good for nothing. My master have given you so many chances, but you still can’t defeat him. Get lost right now. Don’t come here unless you’re powerful enough or you’ll only be courting death. My master doesn’t have time to play with losers like you.”
“Not bad!”
The Husky nodded in satisfaction.
“You’re really good at acting. You have a promising future.”
Right at that moment...
“Eh? This is interesting. If I could catch such a powerful dog and have it guard my door, my house would surely be safe.”
Auspicious clouds billowed in the distance.
A young man wearing a white brocade robe arrived at the gate of the camp from a destination about a kilometer away, but it only took him a few steps. He was quite a handsome young man, but he had an unfathomable, strong aura unique to those who practiced the Cultivation Methods of the Cloud Clan. Obviously, he was not to be underestimated.
“Greetings, Young Lord!”
The masters of the Cloud Clan dropped to their knees.
“He-he, my sister said that the hostages in this camp were very important, so I came here to have a look. I didn’t expect that I would see something so interesting.” The young man waved his hand casually and then looked at the stupid Husky expectantly. “Little dog, what’s your name? Come here and wag your tail. I’ll give you some meat to eat.”
“Am I going to have some meat to eat?”
The Husky’s eyes lit up. He drooled. Instinctively, he wanted to walk over to the young man and wag his tail.
Suddenly, he realized that something wasn’t right. “I’m the king of devils here. How can I fall into such a temptation?”
“You stupid human, how dare you talk to me in such a frivolous tone and challenge my authority? I swear in the name of Li Mu that you will turn into a pile of shit and roll out of my ass in a few days.”
The Husky grinned and growled as he brandished his paws.
The wounds on Li Mu’s body had almost healed.
However, there were still cracks in his bones, especially in the bones of his spine, where there were still hundreds of cracks that hadn’t healed after a long time. He felt like his spine was frozen with runes of auspicious clouds. Every time his power ran along his spine, he felt unbearable acute pain. He could only try to recover slowly by performing the Xiantian Skill.
Half of his fighting power had been restored.
Bi Yan’s condition had improved a lot.
Boom!
The small room inside the rock mass suddenly began to shake violently.
“Li Mu, get the hell out of there! I’m going to kill you!”
Cloud Light Saintess’s deafening shout tinged with cold killing intent penetrated the rock mass that was several hundred meters thick and reverberated in Li Mu’s and Bi Yan’s ears.
Her voice penetrated through the mountain.
“How could she catch up with us so quickly?”
Li Mu was shocked. “This woman named Yunguang is really like a ghost out to haunt us.”
“Li Mu, what should we do?” Bi Yan withdrew her fox tails and cast a glance at Li Mu.
Li Mu said without hesitation, “Run.”
Before they fully restored their powers, they had to try and escape and avoid facing the enemy head-on. If they were trapped in a hard battle, they would have a slim chance of survival and even die.
They immediately used their escape techniques, dove into the earth, and ran desperately for their lives.
Cloud Light Saintess chased after them in the sky.
Half a day later.
“Damn it. These two bastards have escaped again.”
Cloud Light Saintess was boiling with rage.
In the following days, such pursuit and escape episodes happened several times.
Li Mu and Bi Yan were on the alert to flee for their lives at any time.
“What’s going on? No matter how well we hide, Yunguang can always catch up and find us.” Li Mu found it very strange.
He didn’t know that a few pieces of news that shocked the entire world of Qinling had spread wildly among the practitioners.
The first piece of news was that the young lord of the Cloud Clan named Yue Zhongzi, who was Cloud Light Saintess’s younger brother and a young Heavenly Legend at the elementary level of the Upper King Realm, had been eaten by a Husky. It was said that the Husky wearing a suit of shining golden armor and good at using a gold stick had killed and eaten more than one hundred masters from the Cloud Clan, the Ghost Clan, and the Thunder Clan, and he was known for his ferocity in Qinling.
The second piece of news was that someone found that the successor of the Rain Clan called Young Master Tingyu, who had been missing for more than half a month, and tens of masters of the Rain Clan who followed him had all been killed in a deep valley in Qinling. Their bodies had already become cold by the time they were found. Only sword wounds were visible on their corpses. What was more strange was that after the news spread, the members of Tingyu family, who were also the people of the Rain Clan belonging to the Celestial Court, hurriedly retrieved their bodies and refused to disclose any details.
The third piece of news was that to the great surprise of many eastern practitioners, some foreign practitioners had summoned some extremely terrifying fierce beasts at the Demonic God Level from the “Gate of the Ancestors” through the starlight tactical deployment they set up, signed contracts with those fierce beasts using their ancient contracting techniques, and thereby obtained the power of those beasts. Moreover, they killed the practitioners in the eastern world who coveted the fierce beasts and finally fled back to the western world... Undoubtedly, the news shocked the eastern practitioners who knew about the “Gate of the Ancestors” very well, especially those from the Divine Clans and major sects belonging to the Celestial Court. Logically speaking, after the traitorous devils of the six major clans were killed, this matter should end, and it would be absolutely impossible for those stupid western practitioners to reap any benefits. How could such a thing happen?
All the clans and sects in the world were shocked.
All practitioners felt that something terrible had happened, but they didn’t know the exact details.
As the Gate of the Ancestors in the sky gradually disappeared, the fierce battle in Qinling came to an end.
However, the Husky on Mount Tianxuan known as the king of dogs was still invincible. He unwaveringly guarded the small campsite. Many masters from various Divine Clans, including quite a few masters in the Upper King Realm, took action to try and destroy the campsite and tried to kill the people in there. However, all of them returned empty-handed, and some of them even suffered losses. What the Husky did greatly surprised many clans and sects.
Li Mu, the owner of this fierce dog, disappeared without a trace after he entered the world behind the Gate of the Ancestors. The divine sons and daughters of Divine Clans said that he had died there.
