Emperor of the North Chapter 30

Chapter 30 - Shadow Door

"Second Master! It's the Young Master Mu, it's the Young Master Mu! He didn't die, he's back! "

Steward Qin wiped away his tears and said with certainty.

"Are you really Mu Er? My poor child! "

Li Zhenglong rushed in front of Li Mu like a madman, hugging him tightly, his voice choked with emotions.

Li Mu hugged Li Zhenglong as tears streamed down his face, "It's me, father. I'm sorry, I only returned now, and I caused you, Old Bai, to suffer the pain of losing your son for so long!"

When the Li Family clansmen saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded and speechless. Most of them revealed expressions of joy, but some of them had ugly expressions, including the Li Family's Patriarch Li Zhengkun.

On this day, the Li family was destined to be in a state of turmoil. The young master Li Mu of the Li family, who had originally thought that he had died in the outside world, had actually returned.

At night, in a room in the Li Family's backyard, Li Mu and Li Zhenglong sat facing each other. The two of them chatted happily, talking about what they had experienced during the past four years.

Towards Li Zhenglong, Li Mu did not say everything that happened to him, he only said that he was being chased by the Shadow Door and fell into a cave, where he found a lot of Herba Corydalis Sinensis s, and relied on the Herba Corydalis Sinensis s to remove the poison from the Netherworld Udumbara Flower, then his cultivation reached the late stage of the Lesser Heaven stage, only then did he take the risk to escape.

The reason why he said that was not because Li Mu did not trust Li Zhenglong, but because he was afraid of causing trouble for Li Zhenglong or even the entire Li Family. After all, regarding the Sky Cracking Piece, Sky Falling, Great Brahma Art, etc, any one of these could bring about a huge amount of trouble for the Li Family.

Li Mu understood the principle that having a treasure without a guilty conscience was also the main reason why he did not mention his name when fighting with the people of Dahua Sect.

"I didn't think that after listening to your grandfather's advice you would go out and adventure. You really have a fortuitous encounter. Not only did you pick back your life, but you also cultivated to the late Houtian realm!"

Li Zhenglong patted Li Mu's shoulder, his face was filled with gratification.

"That's right!" I didn't think about it either. Oh right, Father, why didn't Grandpa see him? And there's also Xue'er. I didn't even see her. "

Li Mu didn't understand. After returning to the Li Residence, he did not see Li Yuncheng nor Li Xue.

I haven't seen him for half a year, but tomorrow, when your cousin Li Feng returns to the mansion, he should appear. As for Xue'er, she was taken away by your grandfather.

Li Zhenglong explained.

"Oh, so that's how it is. No wonder. Little Sister Xue'er's talent isn't any worse than mine. Under Grandfather's guidance, I believe that she will definitely advance at a divine speed."

When he talked about Li Yuncheng and Li Xue, Li Mu was filled with longing. In Li Residence, other than Li Zhenglong, the only people he truly cared about were the two of them.

"Yeah, you're a boy, so I've been strict with you since you were young. Xue'er is a girl, so I naturally can't treat you the same way I treat you."

"Right, you said that the Shadow Door chased after you that day at Setting Sun Summit, and he even said that the mastermind was a member of our Li Clan. Is that true?"

Saying that, Li Zhenglong's face became solemn, it was not that he had never suspected the people from the Li Clan, but he just did not have any evidence.

Li Mu nodded, and said: "It is indeed true, but the other party did not say who it was, so I do not have any evidence."

Li Zhenglong gnashed his teeth, clenched his fists tightly, and said: "Then that would not be a good idea. It's one thing if you only poisoned him, since you're fine after all, but you colluded with the Shadow Door to attack him under those circ.u.mstances, it's simply unforgivable! "What kind of hatred do I have for you? I want you dead!"

"Father, I will take care of this matter. I have something to ask you, do you know how to contact the Shadow Door?"

Li Mu asked while whispering in Li Zhenglong's ear.

"Mu Er, could it be that you want to start from the Shadow Door? It's too dangerous. Shadow Door is the biggest a.s.sa.s.sination organization in the surrounding cities, I heard that they are even related to Cloud Cracking Sect! "

Li Zhenglong immediately guessed Li Mu's intention, and shook his head.

"Father, don't worry, I am saying this with confidence. I know that there is a rumored expert of the Core Formation Stage in Shadow Door, but I, Li Mu, am not someone to be trifled with!"

Li Mu said as his right hand turned into a claw, the True Essence in his body circulated to the dragon claw hand and he instantly activated it, grabbing onto the table beside him, the gigantic wooden table instantly turned into fine powder.

Li Zhenglong stared dumbfoundedly at the fine powder on the ground. He himself was able to smash a table into fine powder so easily, but even an expert of the Human Realm might not be able to do it.

"To be able to control true essence to such an extent, it seems that the luck you've received is not small. If this matter is not resolved, it might become a sore point for you forever. This is the taboo for us martial cultivators."

After Li Zhenglong finished speaking, he started whispering in Li Mu's ear, but Li Mu's face revealed a faint sneer.

The moonlight was dark and the wind was strong. Two figures stealthily jumped out from the walls of Li Residence's backyard.

"I say, Brother Xiao Yao, what are you always following me for? Shouldn't you find a place with fireworks at night and enjoy yourself?"

Li Mu looked at Ren Xiaoyao speechlessly. After finding out the way to contact the Shadow Door from Li Zhenglong, he wanted to take advantage of the darkness to go out and do his thing. However, he didn't expect that he would be targeted by Ren Xiaoyao and shamelessly follow him.

Ren Xiaoyao didn't mind Li Mu's disdain, and said with a faint smile: "Even though your Li Residence is extremely courteous to me, it's too boring. I might as well follow you out to play.

Li Mu frowned, and said with a straight face: "Alright, you actually investigated me!"

"Is there really a need to be so c.o.c.ky!?" It's not a secret that you could find out about this sort of thing from a servant of the Li Residence. Right, why did you come out so late? Could she be going to meet some lover? "

Ren Xiaoyao snickered.

"Bulls.h.i.+t!" "You still can't smell the stench? Forget it, since you already know a bit, I'll tell you. This is what happened …"

Li Mu briefly told Ren Xiaoyao about how he was being chased by the Shadow Door.

"Holy sh * t!" Wasn't this way too f * cking cruel? It was one thing to poison it, but he wouldn't let it go even if he lived for a year! It was none other than the members of your Li Clan. This infuriates me to death. I'll go with you. "

After hearing Li Mu's explanation, Ren Xiaoyao was so angry that he stomped his feet.

Li Mu saw and laughed, he had achieved his goal, to find such a helper, and for free, he was naturally happy to see it happen.

Full Moon Restaurant was one of the biggest inns in Sunset Clouds City. Although it was already night time, the enormous Full Moon Restaurant was still brightly lit and many guests were having their banquets there.

Just at this moment, two handsome young men walked to the entrance of the Full Moon Tower one after another. They were precisely Li Mu and Ren Xiaoyao who left the Li Residence in the middle of the night.

"Two gongzis, are you going to stay here for fun or are you going to stay here for a bit?"

Seeing that business had arrived, the waiter of the Full Moon Restaurant hurriedly came over and asked with a joyous expression.

"Is your Manager Zhang here?" We're here to visit friends. "

Li Mu said with a cold and detached expression, as if he was a stranger that was not allowed to get close.

When the smiling waiter heard the two words' interviewing friends', he immediately became serious. He looked around to make sure that no one was following them, then quietly led Li Mu and the other two into the rear courtyard of the Full Moon Tower.

The rear courtyard of the Full Moon Restaurant was extremely large and looked empty. However, Li Mu and his keen senses told him that there were at least ten pairs of eyes staring at them from the shadows.

The two did not pay much attention to this. They were led to a door by a waiter.

The waiter knocked on the door familiarly: "Innkeeper, a visitor requests an audience."

"Come in!"

A middle-aged man's voice came from inside the room.

Hearing that, the waiter opened the door, and then led Li Mu and Su Yun into the room, and in the end, closed the door and left.

Entering the room, Li Mu looked around, the huge room was completely empty, other than a few chairs there was nothing else. A middle aged man was smiling as he sat on a chair and looked at them.

"Peak of the Postliminary Realm, are you the person in charge of the Shadow Door in Sunset City?"

Looking at the middle-aged man, Li Mu expressionlessly sat on the chair with Ren Xiaoyao.

The middle-aged man did not mind Li Mu's cold expression at all, and said with a faint smile, "I am Lu Hang, the manager of Muyun City. Looking at your faces, it should be your first time working with my Shadow Door, right?"

"Is it not the first time not important? The important thing is that I am willing to pay. You are willing to do things, aren't you?"

Ren Xiaoyao said as he took out a handful of banknotes and placed it on the table.

Seeing the banknotes, the middle-aged man named Lu Hang's eyes shone. However, he did not immediately take the money, but looked at Li Mu and Li Mu instead, and asked, "Who are the two people trying to kill?"

"I do not know his real name, but you should all be clear that he is the forty-ninth shadow. He is one of the people from your Shadow Door!"

Li Mu sneered, the eyes he looked at Lu Hang with was filled with killing intent.

"Who are you people!?" What do you want to do!? "

Lu Hang vigilantly took a few steps back, at the same time, he pulled out a willow leaf sword from his belt, and held it in his hand.

Li Mu looked at Lu Hang with disdain. His figure flashed and disappeared from where he stood, and in the next moment, he revealed himself behind Lu Hang.

Lu Hang was not an ordinary person. The moment Li Mu appeared on his back, he turned the longsword in his hand and thrusted it backwards.

"Clang!"

With a crisp sound, Lu Hang felt like his sword stabbed into an iron board.

Li Mu's strength was extremely strong, with a palm, he sent Lu Hang flying out and struck the table, shattering it.

The sounds from inside the room quickly attracted the attention of the people outside, and in a moment the door was kicked open. A dozen black masked a.s.sa.s.sins with swords in their hands rushed in, but they did not move, because Lu Hang was lying on the floor.

"Your Shadow Door is really not weak at all, all of them are at least solid ninth stage!"

Li Mu's expression did not change as he walked over to Lu Hang's side. He pointed at the other party's Dantian, and the already heavily injured Lu Hang was pushed back by Li Mu. He instantly felt like he was unable to move.

"Who exactly are you? What did you do to me! "

Lu Hang's face was filled with fear, at the same time, he glanced at the many disciples who barged in but did not dare make a move, and indicated for them to not to make a move yet.

"Let me ask you, four years ago, your Shadow Door took over a business deal to a.s.sa.s.sinate the Li Mu of the Li Family!"

Li Mu stared at Lu Hang coldly, the killing intent in his eyes terrifying.
