The Counterattack of the Villains

Returning to the port of Zhoushan, the group disembarked and repaired for a day. The next day, they set off overland and headed west. Ten days later, they arrived at the Yangtze River in Yangtze River, where they boarded an inland ship again and headed west along the Yangtze River.

More than half a month later, the ship arrived at the mouth of Sanjiang River in Xishu, turned north and entered the Minjiang River, headed straight for Furong City, and finally disembarked at the Jinma River outside Furong City.

After more than a month on the ship, Li Mu had already refined all the remaining five dragon essences.

In terms of cultivation, when refining the third Dragon Yuan, Li Mu successfully shattered the pill and turned it into a baby. After all the Dragon Yuans were refined, the Yuanying Yun matured and turned into a Yang Shen.

If divided by levels of cultivation, this is the stage of transformation into gods, which is often called the "Old Ghost Transformation into Gods" in the world of immortals.

From then on, Li Mu no longer needed to rely on any secret techniques to directly leave his body.

Although both Yin and Yang gods are primordial gods, the Yang gods are many times stronger than the Yin gods.

Based on the world view of the mythical world, those who have cultivated themselves into Yinshen can at most be a ghost general in the underworld, at a stronger level can be a mountain god, and at the most powerful level can be a city emperor.

However, the Yang God can go to heaven and serve as heavenly soldiers and generals, or as immortal officials in heaven.

There is a real world of difference between heaven and earth.

In terms of the physical body, the dragon-elephant prajna skill has made another breakthrough, reaching the seventeenth level.

Li Mu felt that even with his physical strength alone, he should be able to collapse the city wall.

Now, with his cultivation and physical strength, he is able to perform the real "Love in a Falling City", which is the kind of martial arts saint Guan Yu who destroys a city with one sword in the comics.

In other words, Li Mu is now a real humanoid nuclear bomb.

…

Qin Shuang and others had already received the message from Flying Eagle, and they were already waiting for the ship when it arrived at the dock.

There was no fanfare, and he didn't even bring many subordinates, just Qin Shuang, Tenggenir and his wife, Long'er, Evil Emperor, Wuming, and Long Teng.

After all, this place is close to Tianmen and is the main concentration of Tianmen's power.

When Emperor Shitian led his people out to sea to slay the dragon, the entire western, northwest, and southwest of China had been cleansed by the Tianxiahui.

All the forces on the surface of Tianmen have been wiped out, but it cannot be ruled out that there are still hidden elements in Tianmen.

Li Mu was not afraid that Tianmen would be prepared. He was just afraid that Tianmen's people would disperse in a rush and he would not be able to catch them all.

In the past ten years, although Li Mu did not take action against Tianmen, some preliminary preparations were naturally started early.

No matter how secretive an organization is, as long as it exists, it will definitely leave clues.

Faced with targeted investigations by the entire Chinese martial arts community, no matter how deeply you hide it, it will eventually be exposed.

Therefore, in the past ten years, not only the whereabouts of Tianmen's old home, the Nine Layers of Ice Prison, have been found.

There are also many secret strongholds of Tianmen, and the forces that secretly rely on Tianmen have been recorded in the eucalyptus by Tianxiahui.

As soon as Emperor Shitian went to sea, the Tianxiahui, led by Qin Shuang, Wuming and others, began to cleanse the Tianmen forces.

More than a month has passed, and all the secret Tianmen strongholds in Tianshuangtang's territory have been eradicated.

There is no need to worry about dealing with the remaining small fish and shrimps. As long as the Nine Layers of Ice Prison is dealt with, those people will no longer be able to make a difference.

The Tianmen forces in other places will remain untouched for the time being. Li Mu also has a plan. If it goes well, those people should be able to conquer them.

"Congratulations to Master on your triumphant return."

Qin Shuang stepped forward to greet him with a smile on his face, and Tengenir, Wuming and others also greeted him one after another.

Li Mu also smiled and responded one by one, praising: "You have also done a good job. When this crusade against the Nine Ice Prison is over, we will be able to live a truly peaceful life."

After speaking, he looked at Qin Shuang and asked, "Shuang'er, how are you preparing?"

Qin Shuang said: "Everything has been arranged. We are just waiting for Master to come and take charge of the overall situation. The Four Gentlemen of Tianya and others are watching over the Nine Layers Ice Prison. There has been no movement. They should not know the news that Emperor Shitian is dead."

The Four Gentlemen of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum are the leaders of the intelligence organization under Qin Shuang. Although their martial arts skills are not great, they do a good job in intelligence work.

Li Mu nodded with satisfaction and said: "Very good, let's recharge our batteries today and have a good night's rest. We will set off tomorrow to attack Tianmen as soon as possible and completely solve this serious problem."

"yes."

…

Nearly eighty miles west of the old main altar of Tianxiahui, there is a place covered with snow and covered with ice, called Ghost Snow Slope.

This is the home of Tianmen and the location of the Nine Layers of Ice Prison.

This place is inaccessible, the wind and snow are like knives, and not even a blade of grass grows.

If you don't have a certain level of cultivation, you won't be able to get close.

Starting from here, you can see many people frozen into popsicles on the road.

These are all people in the martial arts world who have learned about the existence of Tianmen from certain channels and want to enter Tianmen and obtain peerless martial arts.

This is also the first test set by Emperor Shitian. Tianmen does not accept the weak. If you can't even walk through this ice road, what's the point?

Because of this, there were only one hundred, sixty-seven people participating in the attack on Tianmen this time.

Except for the top management, there are only the one hundred and fifty elite gang members who had taken Blood Bodhi.

But now they number less than 150, because in these years of battles, more than ten people were killed.

The martial arts skills of these people who are still alive today are not inferior to those of the three major disciples fifteen years ago.

In other words, these one hundred and thirty people are equivalent to the one hundred and thirty Qin Shuang, Nie Feng, and Bu Jingyun who were fifteen years ago.

Looking at the world, he is already a rare master.

They were already the backbone of middle-level leaders scattered around the country, but this time they attacked Tianmen, Li Mu reunited them and formed an army of their own.

Those who survive after this battle are expected to reach the top, so they are full of fighting spirit.

In front of the Nine Layers of Ice Prison, Li Mu looked at the golden door in front of him, raised his hand and slapped it without even using his internal energy.

Accompanied by a thunderous sonic boom, the air in front of Li Mu's palm was distorted, forming a shock wave visible to the naked eye, heading straight for the door.

"boom"

With a muffled sound, the door suddenly shattered.

Li Mu raised his hand and waved forward, and said in a deep voice: "Those who stubbornly resist and are killed without mercy. Those who kneel down and surrender can avoid death."

"kill."

As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, Long Teng, Dugu Meng, You Ruo, Duan Lang, Qin Shuang, Bu Jingyun, Nie Feng, Mingyue, Jian Chen, Long Er, Huai Kong, Huai Mie, Bai Ling, Xue Dark Sky, Leng Bu Fang, etc.

People rushed in with a group of backbones.

Li Mu, Wuming, Evil Emperor, Tenggenir and his wife followed the large army unhurriedly, acting as the ones holding down the formation.

Only when there is an opponent that the juniors cannot handle, will they take action.

However, it is not easy for Nie Fengbu Jingyun and his generation to encounter opponents that they cannot handle. Even if they do, they should be at the last two levels.

Behind the golden gate is a main hall, which is close to the mountain wall. It is obvious that the entrance to the Nine Layers of Ice Prison is in the main hall.

There is a group of Tianmen minions guarding in front of the palace. When Tianxiahui rushes into the giant gate, they have already formed a formation.

But under the leadership of all the masters of Tianxiahui, the so-called formation was just a joke, and a wave of sword energy was poured out, beating it to pieces.

More than half of the more than three hundred Tianmen minions were killed in an instant, and the rest all knelt down and surrendered.

In other words, Nie Feng and the others wanted to save their energy and at the same time give those who wanted to surrender a chance, so they did not use their ultimate move.

Otherwise, any one of them would have a killing move to defeat these three hundred minions.

Those who surrendered on their knees were ordered to go to Tianyin City to wait for orders.

They don't need these Tianmen minions to defect, because that is likely to cause trouble for themselves.

After entering the main hall, the innermost position is not a statue of God or Buddha, but a wide and huge cave entrance, with a faint ice-blue light shining through the cave.

After Nie Feng and others rushed into the passage, the sound of fighting and shouting soon sounded inside.

In fact, with Li Mu's current skills, he could completely collapse the entire mountain and bury the Nine Layers of Ice Prison underground, completely hiding from the light of day.

The masters hiding inside, who can survive and break out of the underground, can be subdued or killed, it's up to you.

Those who cannot break out will naturally only die and be buried alive.

The reason why Li Mu didn't do this was because he was going to Emperor Shitian's treasure house and arsenal.

God knows how many treasures Emperor Shitian has plundered and hidden in the Nine-Layer Ice Prison during his more than a thousand years, as well as countless martial arts secrets in the arsenal. These are all trophies of the Tianxiahui.

If we directly bury the Nine Ice Prison, these things will not be available, which would be a pity.

The Nine Layers of Ice Prison naturally has nine levels, which are divided by Emperor Shitian into three realms: heaven, earth, and humans. The first five levels are the realm of immovable humans, the middle three levels are the realm of freedom, and the last level is the realm of void and heaven.

The levels of warriors in Tianmen are also divided according to this. In fact, God Shitian only has earth-level and human-level masters under his command, because he is the only one in heaven level.

There were almost no obstacles in the human world. It was only when they fought all the way to the earth realm that they met a group of masters who could compete with Bu Jingyun and others.

These masters also brought dozens of warriors who took Tianmen's secret medicine and turned into "divine beasts".

These warriors know no fear, no sense of pain, and are very difficult to deal with.

However, after Wuming, Tenggenir and his wife, and the Evil Emperor took action, they were easily killed.

The final enemies of Tianxiahui are the four "priests" and eight "divine judges", who live in the eighth level of ice prison.

Each of these people had the strength to compete with the Wuming people, but after Li Mu personally took action, he was able to defeat them in three strikes, five and two.

At this point, the Tianmen was declared destroyed, and Li Mu led everyone straight into the heaven, where he found a man frozen in ice.

After Li Mu rescued him, he learned that this person was Furong Lei, possessing the peerless martial arts "Five Thunder Transformation Hands".

In the original plot, after Emperor Shitian obtained Long Yuan, he discovered that Long Yuan and Phoenix Blood actually conflicted and could not coexist at all.

In desperation, he wanted to learn the Five Thunder Transformation Techniques from Raging Wind Thunder, so that he could transform himself into Phoenix blood and take Long Yuan.

It's a pity that the Five Thunder Transformation Hand must have the Five Elements physique to be practiced. Emperor Shitian did not have this physique, so it was impossible to practice it.

Raging Wind and Thunder deeply hated Emperor Shitian for imprisoning him for thirty years. Under his calculation, not only was Emperor Shitian's phoenix blood melted away by his Five Thunder Transformation Hands, but also the skills accumulated through thousands of years of practice were wiped out.

This directly led to Emperor Shitian's final death in Duanlang's hands.

After Li Mu rescued Furong Lei, when he heard that Emperor Shitian had been killed by Li Mu, he paid his respects without much thought and expressed his willingness to join the Tianxiahui on the spot to serve Li Mu.

When Li Mu killed Emperor Shitian, he avenged him.

Secondly, Li Mun was able to kill Emperor Shitian, which shows that his martial arts are even more unfathomable and worthy of his service.

After breaking through the Nine Layers of Ice Prison and completely destroying Tianmen, it took Li Mu and his party three days to inventory Emperor Shitian's secret treasures and move them all away.

After everyone came out, Li Mu used all his strength to collapse the mountain where the Nine-layer Ice Prison was, causing it to sink and completely bury the Nine-layer Ice Prison.

His demon-like power was deeply ingrained in the minds of all the top leaders of the Tianxia Club.

Everyone only had endless fanatical admiration and awe for him, and no one had the slightest thought of competing with him.

…

Luo City, Luo Mansion.

Li Mu was sitting in the hall drinking tea.

It was already two months after Tianmen was destroyed. He came to Luo City alone and entered the Luo Mansion.

After a while, Luo Xian, the former lord of Luo City and now the lord of the Tianxiahui Luo City Branch Altar, came quickly.

Seeing Li Mu, she knelt down on one knee, clasped her fists and said, "The leader of the gang is here. I am late to welcome him. Please forgive me, leader."

Although Li Mu is the supreme leader of the martial arts world, he is still the leader of the gang in front of the people in the Tianxiahui. Therefore, people in the Tianxiahui call him the leader of the gang, not the supreme leader.

Li Muchan smiled, put down the tea cup, and said: "Master Luo, there is no need to be polite, get up!"

"Thank you, Gang Leader." After Luo Xian stood up, he asked respectfully: "I wonder if the Gang Leader suddenly arrived in Luo City, what instructions do you have?"

Li Mu smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just came to have a casual chat with Lord Luo."

Luo Xian bowed slightly and said, "I am listening attentively to the instructions of the Bishop."

Li Mu nodded and said: "Emperor Shitian is dead and the Tianmen has been destroyed. Does Master Luo Altar know this?"

Luo Xian said with a puzzled face: "I dare to ask the gang leader, what is Tianmen?"

Although this happened two months ago, it took more than fifty days just to get there and back.

Moreover, only the top leaders of the Tianxiahui, the one hundred and thirty-odd backbones who participated in the war, and a small number of Tianshuangtang's subordinates knew about this matter.

Li Mu did not disclose the existence of Tianmen, and this attack on Tianmen was carried out in secret. Normally, Luo Xian should not know about this.

However, Li Mu can be sure that she not only knows it, but also knows it very well.

"Hehehe..." Li Mu stared at Luo Xian and suddenly chuckled.

After laughing, he said slowly: "By saying this, Altar Master Luo intends to continue to lurk in order to wait for opportunities to avenge Master in the future?"

"Or do you plan to let go of the past completely, become the leader of my Tianxiahui with peace of mind, and start a new life again?"

Luo Xian was shocked. He didn't dare to look into Li Mu's eyes anymore. He lowered his eyelids and said, "What does the gang leader mean?"

Li Mu shook his head with a smile and said: "Forget it, I don't want to go around in circles with you anymore, causing you to feel uneasy and make random assumptions."

"I'm here this time for one thing. I can only choose between the two identities of Devil God Mother and Tianxiahui Altar Master. How do you plan to choose?"

Luo Xian smiled bitterly and said: "It turns out that the gang leader already knew it, but I don't know why the gang leader didn't kill me?"

Li Mu sighed: "Because I know that Luo Xian is a kind-hearted girl who also longs for someone to love and love her, but she lives in Tianmen where no personal feelings are allowed."

"You didn't have a choice before, but now I'm willing to give you a chance to choose."

Luo Xian's whole body could not stop trembling slightly, his eyes were red, and the look he looked at Li Mu became a little strange.

Unexpectedly, after living for almost two hundred years, the person who truly understands him in the end is this peerless overlord whom he has only met a few times.

A special feeling came to mind, that feeling... called confidant.

Without much hesitation, she knelt down on one knee with her fists clasped again and said: "My subordinate Luo Xian, please see the gang leader. From now on, there will be no devil mother in the world, only Luo Xian, the master of the world altar."

Li Mu nodded happily and said, "I'm glad you can make this choice. Get up!"

However, Luo Xian did not stand up, but said: "If you are brave, please ask the gang leader to transfer this subordinate to Shuntian Mansion. I am willing to give up my position as the leader of the Luocheng Branch Altar."

Li Mu asked in confusion: "Why is this? You have lived here for nearly twenty years, are you willing to do it?"

Luo Xian said secretly: "My heart has no place of peace. The world is so big but I have no place to call home. What's the point of living here for a hundred years?"

Li Mu chewed on the connotation of her words and said slowly: "So, do you think Shuntian Mansion will become the safe place of your heart?"

Luo Xiandao: "Yes."

Li Mu asked with interest: "Why?"

Luo Xian lowered his head slightly and said: "Because Shuntian Mansion has a confidant under my subordinates."

Li Mu was stunned. She had a confidant in Shuntian Mansion? Who? Huai Kong?

That's not right, because of her interference, she and Huai Kong didn't know each other at all. Huai Kong and his junior sister Bai Ling were both married.

After thinking for a moment, his eyes gradually widened.

Luo Xian didn't hear Li Mu's response for a long time. He raised his head in confusion, only to see him dumbfounded. He raised his finger and pointed at his nose and said, "You're not talking about me, are you?"

Luo Xian lowered his head again, with a slight blush on his face, and said: "Yes, in this world, only the gang leader understands his subordinates, and only the gang leader knows the origin of his subordinates, so this subordinate... I want to follow the gang leader."

There was a bit of confusion on Li Mu's face, and he said with a slight toothache: "If you want to follow me, that's fine, but you should not think about some things."

Hearing Li Mu's words, Luo Xian didn't know where he got the courage. He suddenly stood up and looked directly at Li Mu and said, "Why can't you think about it? The gang leader doesn't look down on his subordinates?"

Li Mu sat on the chair, turned slightly sideways, picked up the tea cup and said: "I am so much older than you, and my daughter is in her thirties..."

Before he could finish speaking, Luo Xian interrupted him directly: "This subordinate is almost two hundred years old."

"..."

Li Mu was dumbfounded, this is really true.
