Emperor of the North Chapter 29

Chapter 29 - Goodbye Li Zhenglong

"This boy is quite interesting. He hid it quite deeply. Although that dagger is a bit strange, compared to him, it's not worth mentioning."

"Cultivating the Heaven Ranked Zhen Yuan cultivation method, the body's tyrannical strength is unimaginable. This should be an embodiment of success in body refinement. Also, you seem to have grasped an extremely profound movement technique. Interesting … "Interesting!"

Looking at Li Mu's back figure which was already far away, Ren Xiaoyao laughed lightly. He quickly paid the bill, mounted the Multi Colored Tiger and chased after Li Mu. With the legs of the Level 2 demon beast, he caught up to Li Mu who was walking.

"Why did you catch up to me again? I said that Zhan Qianqiu will not take it out to exchange.

said with a straight face as he watched Ren Xiaoyao riding on the back of the huge tiger and walking side by side with him.

"Hahaha, I thought about it. Since you are not willing to exchange with me, then forget it, but I can't let myself suffer any loss, your clothes are also mine, and so are your food. I, Ren Xiaoyao, am not going to make a loss in the business, I have decided to go to Sunset Cloud City with you, and find you to pay me back!"

Riding on top of the giant tiger, Ren Xiaoyao had a complacent look on his face.

"Do you mean that what I eat should be short in the mouth, and what I wear should be short in the hands?"

Li Mu looked at Ren Xiaoyao who had an evil grin on his face and couldn't help but roll his eyes. He didn't feel that the current Ren Xiaoyao seemed to have any ill intentions towards him, although he didn't know why the other party had changed the situation so quickly.

Ren Xiaoyao laughed sinisterly: "If you take off all of your clothes and puke out all of the fifty over dishes, I'll let it go, if not … "Heh heh."

"What if not?"

"Then come up!"

Ren Xiaoyao extended his hand while smiling.

Li Mu laughed, grabbed Ren Xiaoyao's hand and jumped onto the tiger's back.

A day later, a giant, multicolored tiger that moved like the wind suddenly stopped on the spot, bringing up a cloud of dust.

Not far away, a huge city was situated in front of them. The words "Sunset Cloud City" could be clearly seen on the city wall.

"This is the Sunset Clouds City. It doesn't look that small. Compared to your capital, Ying City, it's much smaller!"

Ren Xiaoyao who was on the back of the huge tiger stared at the huge city, his eyes filled with shock.

Li Mu, who was sitting behind Ren Xiaoyao, did not reply. He jumped down from the tiger's back and looked at Muyun City with a myriad of thoughts.

"Father, Xue'er, Grandfather, are you alright? I, Li Mu, am back. "

Looking at the Mu Yun City in front of him, the faces of his relatives surfaced in Li Mu's mind one by one. Even Li Mu, who had cultivated the Great Brahma Art, had slightly wavered at this moment.

It had been four years since he left Sunset City. He knew that the Li family would definitely think that he had died outside. After all, the poison of Ghost Pepper was known as unsolvable in the secular world.

But who would have thought that the Li Mu who had disappeared for four years would return once again, and even return with hatred?

"The person who murdered me in the past!" I, Li Mu, is back. Even if we overturn Sunset Cloud City, I won't let you off! "

Li Mu swore in his heart that in these four years, whenever he was free, he would involuntarily think of the words that Shadow Door Shadow had said.

"Just what kind of deep hatred do you have for poisoning me? Not only did you poison me, you even exterminated me in less than a year!"

Li Mu clenched his teeth, his eyes filled with hatred.

"Hey, brother! What are you daydreaming for? "

Ren Xiaoyao got off the tiger's back and patted Li Mu's shoulder.

"It's nothing. I just remembered something from the past. Let's go, we're entering the city!"

Li Mu smiled indifferently and led Ren Xiaoyao towards the Mu Yun City.

Regarding Ren Xiaoyao, after interacting with him for the past two days, they could already considered to be close friends with him. This was a young master who liked to wander around, so Li Mu was not very clear about his background.

As for why Zhan Qianqiu on his body had caught the other party's attention, it was obvious that Ren Xiaoyao's explanation had caught his attention. Li Mu naturally did not believe it, but after finding out that the other party did not have any intentions of fighting Zhan Qianqiu, he did not ask any further.

On the bustling streets of Sunset Cloud City, the appearance of a Multi Colored Giant Tiger had caused quite a stir. If one did not see that Li Mu and Ren Xiaoyao's cultivation had reached the late stage of the Postliminary Realm, it was not possible for them to arouse the interest of others.

Looking at the familiar street in Muyun City, Li Mu couldn't tell what he was feeling. In a situation where he was familiar with the road, Li Mu led Ren Xiaoyao to the main entrance of Li Residence which he had dreamt of for four years.

Today, a festive scene was being played out in front of Li Residence's gates. Many servants of Li Residence were busy preparing, and lanterns and red cloth were being hung all over the gates.

"Oh?" Could it be that your family knows that you've returned today, and have arranged for it to be decorated with lanterns and banners?! "

Just as he arrived at the front door of the Li Residence, Ren Xiaoyao asked curiously.

"Impossible, I did not inform you in advance. It must be some other joyous occasion!"

Li Mu denied it, and just as he was speaking, an elder servant noticed Li Mu and Yue Yang. Especially when he saw a multicolored tiger, he immediately walked over.

"I wonder if the two gongzis were invited to join my Li Residence's Eldest Young Master's welcoming feast?"

Li Mu recognized the old servant, he was one of Li Residence's stewards, Steward Qin.

"Wind welcome feast? "What kind of welcoming banquet is this?"

Ren Xiaoyao asked tentatively.

"Aren't you two here to attend the welcoming feast of the young master? It's like this, my young master Li Feng joined the Cloud Cracking Sect four years ago, and now that he has mastered his cultivation, he told me that he would return to Li Residence today, and as a result, my Li Residence invited many distinguished guests from the large families nearby to attend the feast.

Steward Qin explained. Looking at the two people and the tiger in front of him, his heart was filled with suspicions.

"Uncle Qin, you don't recognize me anymore?"

Li Mu laughed, and said these words to the Steward Qin.

"You are... Although this young master looks kind, but have we met him before? "

Steward Qin frowned as he looked at Li Mu with detail, and did not recognize him. This could not be blamed on him, after all, four years had pa.s.sed, and Li Mu's outer appearance had changed a lot.

Li Mu said somewhat excitedly: "It's me, Li Mu!"

"Young Master Mu! Impossible, the Young Master Mu has already been dead for many years, what are you thinking?! You actually dare to pretend to be the young master of my Li Residence! "

Steward Qin took a few cautious steps back and the True Essence in his body started to move. He was also a warrior, and his cultivation was at the middle stage of the Elementary Realm.

"It's really me, Steward Qin. Even though so many years have pa.s.sed, I still remember when I was young, my father was extremely strict with me, and sometimes he wouldn't even let me eat. But every time you secretly stuffed me with steamed buns and roasted chicken, it was really me! I am Li Mu. "

Li Mu explained somewhat anxiously.

Steward Qin pondered for a while, and looked carefully at Li Mu's face again. In the end, he seemed to have found a similarity to Li Mu when he was young, and embraced Li Mu with tears br.i.m.m.i.n.g from his eyes.

"Young master!" It's really you! Where have you been all these years? Second Elder was so anxious that his hair had turned a lot paler. Miss Xue'er was crying for months! "

Steward Qin said with tears flowing down his face, his words mixed with happiness and sadness.

"I had an accident, didn't I come back? Hurry up and bring me to see my father. I've not seen him for four years, I blame myself for missing him!"

Li Mu patted the old butler's shoulder, suppressing the tears in his eyes.

Steward Qin nodded and put down what he was doing, then led Li Mu and Ren Xiaoyao into Li Residence.

Li Residence hadn't changed much from four years ago. The only difference was that many of the servants had changed, there were more fresh faces.

Under the Steward Qin's lead, the servants in the Li Residence did not go up to inquire about it, but the Multi Colored Tiger who occasionally looked at Ren Xiaoyao was a little surprised.

Not long after, the Steward Qin brought Li Mu, the two of them and a tiger to the entrance of the main hall of the Li Residence. There were currently many people gathered in the hall, all of them being higher-ups at the heart of the Li Residence.

"Second Master! Second Master! Look who's back! "

Steward Qin quickly ran into the Main Hall. He did not care about the discussion between the higher ups of the Li Family, and rushed in.

"Steward Qin! "What are you doing? If you have anything to say, you should just inform me. It is unbefitting of you to barge in so hastily!"

In the hall, Li Zhengkun was happily discussing with the Li Family clansmen. Upon seeing Steward Qin barge in, his face immediately darkened.

"Patriarch!" Second Master, look who's back! "

Steward Qin did not have time to explain, he led the crowd's gaze and looked towards the entrance of the hall. At that moment, Li Mu and Ren Xiaoyao just happened to walk in.

"Who are you two? To have such cultivation at such a young age, have you come to my Li family for the sake of my son and the matter of welcoming a banquet? "

Sensing the cultivation levels of the two, Li Zhengkun did not dare to hesitate and immediately stood up to welcome them.

Li Mu did not reply. His gaze swept across all the Li Family clansmen one by one, and finally stopped on a middle-aged man with half a hundred hair. It was indeed Li Zhenglong, whom he had not seen for four years.

As for Ren Xiaoyao, he was standing right next to Li Mu without saying a word, as if he was just watching a play. From time to time, he would even tease the Multi Colored Tiger beside him.

The Li Family clansmen saw that Li Mu was looking straight at Li Zhenglong and all of them became alert, thinking that he was an enemy of theirs. Some of them even secretly glared at Li Zhenglong, looking at him with contempt.

All of this naturally did not escape Li Mu's eyes. He had roughly guessed a few things.

In the Li Family, the continuation of the bloodline and incense, was extremely important. Forget about the bloodline, without any continuation of the incense, one's status in the Li Family would plummet by leaps and bounds. Li Zhenglong had one son and one daughter, and ever since he knew that Li Mu had died, Li Zhenglong's days in the Li Family must have been very miserable.

All along, in his eyes, Li Zhenglong had always been an extremely strong person. Otherwise, he would not have treated so harshly since he was young, but the Li Zhenglong in front of him looked as if he had suffered a lot from the pa.s.sage of time, and had a dejected look on his face.

Li Mu slowly walked towards Li Zhenglong, his eyes reddened and a few drops of heat rolling down. Seeing this scene, the people from the Li Family, who were on guard, were somewhat confused.

"Father! Mu Er is unfilial, I am back! "

When he was less than five meters away from Li Zhenglong, Li Mu suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to him.

"What did you call me!?" You... You are Mu Er? "

Hearing that, Li Zhenglong's face changed, his face had a look of disbelief, he stared at Li Mu and did not come back to his senses.
