Chapter 726: The Fifth Strong of Nine Maangs

Li Hui stood in Mufeng City, wielding its power to sweep away all obstacles before him.

At that moment, Hao Yue Lin and Hao Yue Chen, accompanied by a team of cultivators, entered the Ancient Tomb. They knelt and reported, “My lord, before Mufeng City left the Nine-Mystic Continent, some relatives of the Hao Family sought refuge here. My sister and I feel their intentions are not pure, so we brought them to the Ancient Tomb for your decisions!”

Scanning them quickly, Li Hui’s Yang God returned to the Ancient Tomb and remarked, “The Hao Family is diversifying their risks, leaving behind some bloodline!”

“Kill them…” Hao Yue Lin’s gaze turned sharp.

“Kill whom? Look at them; they’re just neglected children without an ounce of love from their grandmothers or uncles. If the Hao Family loses power in Nine-Mystic or falls in the upcoming great calamity, at least there will be some descendants! Even if we kill them, the Hao Family won’t feel pain.” Li Hui waved at the young men and women from the Hao Family, saying, “Return to the city and live. The State Study Palace and Kunlun Hall have no ties to you regarding Mufeng City.”

Once these young ones expressed their endless gratitude and withdrew, Hao Yue Lin and Hao Yue Chen approached Li Hui, playfully smiling, “We knew our lord had a kind heart and wouldn’t casually kill unrelated people.”

“Pfft! Look at your little schemes! You’re both over six hundred years old and still haven’t matured!”

Hao Yue Chen frowned, “What does the lord mean? We have slept for many years in the Ancient Tomb, our souls damaged, and had to borrow a body to be reborn! But other people’s bodies are always inferior to one’s own. Hao Yue Lin is better off, maintaining her youthful form! My original body had even given birth to children, and those children are over six hundred years old. Previously, during the power struggle, Li Dingjun suppressed me deep within the Ancient Tomb.”

“By the way, where’s Dingjun and Longhua?” Li Hui thought of the two spirit treasure demons he had nurtured; after returning to Mufeng City, he could only faintly sense their auras but had not tracked down their location.

To avoid leaking their auras prematurely, he had kept a low profile recently, which is why he was now meeting Hao Yue Lin and Hao Yue Chen.

Hao Yue Lin responded, “Dingjun and Longhua said they wanted to reach the rank of demon saint, so they retreated into seclusion. They should be in the Ancient Tomb, but no one knows where!”

“A demon saint? That’s an impressive realm! There’s a chance they could transform their souls into demon gods!” Li Hui nodded; he didn’t worry too much about Li Dingjun and Li Longhua, letting them develop on their own.

Hao Yue Chen complained, “Our lord probably doesn’t know the situation in the city, right? It’s all a bunch of rogues and desperate fugitives. Only these types of cultivators are willing to follow us; otherwise, it’s the ill-fated ones who can’t even drink a glass of cold water without it getting stuck in their teeth. Truly virtuous cultivators are extremely rare!”

“That’s to be expected,” Li Hui released his spiritual sense to sweep through the city, saying, “Eighteen Traveling Realm cultivators, one hundred and twenty-three Hongfa cultivators, and nearly a thousand All-Manifestation Realm cultivators, most possessing mediocre talents, their cultivation stagnated for many years.”

“Exactly,” Hao Yue Lin sighed, “These are the cultivators willing to leave the Nine-Mystic Continent with us. Tie Yixin is busy relaying messages, dividing up Silver Radiance and transferring assets beneath our command. It’s a complete mess. Our preparations are insufficient, and the outlook isn’t very optimistic.”

Li Hui felt a pang in his heart, “There’s no choice; we must act quickly out of necessity. If we let the State Study Palace and Kunlun Hall prepare, the losses would be immeasurable.”

“Don’t worry, my lord. Tie Yixin has set up two layers of hidden lines long ago. The Wutu Continent is at the center of the world, allowing us to receive information more swiftly.”

“Indeed, Wutu is in the center of the world, making it suitable as a hub!” Li Hui praised the two girls. Tianyi and Tian Zhu had gone through experiences and would quickly become capable on their own! Even though the Heavenly Talisman Sect didn’t lack individuals who could stand alone, their cultivation was limited. Staying in Wutu was barely sufficient, but sending them to other continents would be lacking.

Suddenly, a large Xuanwu Divine Beast appeared, urgently shouting, “My lord, be careful! I detected a terrible aura from him…”

“Boom, boom, boom…” Unpleasant sounds erupted inside and outside the Ancient Tomb, and Mufeng City surprisingly came to a halt, unable to shake off its restraints despite its overwhelming strength.

The large Xuanwu Divine Beast was Shrimp Ball, who was responsible for lookout, reconnaissance, and warnings and was quite diligent, but the enemy arrived too quickly!

Li Hui magnified his Yang God, with Mufeng City beneath him.

Suddenly, a vivid Yang God descended, adorned in a flowing robe covered with frost-like patterns, a ring of flames hovering above his head, and diamond-shaped virtual patterns manifesting in his deep-set eyes.

This figure had prominent cheekbones, eyes like bright stars, eyebrows radiating eight colors, and a lion-like nose!

Tie Yixin shouted at Li Hui’s Yang God, “My lord, be careful! The opponent is Master Ji from Kunlun Hall, rumored to be the fifth strongest in the Nine-Mystic Continent.”

“Understood!” Li Hui locked eyes with this formidable foe, each breath sending tremors through his soul, filling him with immense dread. Even though the Yang God had reached the peak of the Traveling Realm, he still couldn’t alleviate the heavy pressure stemming from their rank.

Facing suppression in cultivation was a rare occurrence, proving that the opponent had at least comprehended a Dao Fruit.

“Li Hui, right? The two young lords came to me, and I must take action! Even without Mufeng City, among the late-stage Traveling Realm cultivators, you would rank in the top ten of the Nine-Mystic! Against ordinary mid-stage Void Ascension cultivators, you wouldn’t fall behind; with Mufeng City, no number of mid-stage Void Ascension cultivators can do anything!” Master Ji said, stepping forward with his left leg, causing the sea to instantly cave in, leaving behind a massive footprint!

Master Ji took sixteen steps, now very close to Mufeng City.

Li Hui hurriedly gathered his spirit, readying his methods to confront this great enemy. A thick beam of mirror light swept outward.

“Oh? I wonder where you found the Tian Tun Mirror. This ancient treasure should have been destroyed before the calamity of immortals but surprisingly still exists. It’s truly an anomaly among the myriad realms! I can sense you can harness calamity power; this world is quite optimistic about you, molding you into the Unrivaled Calamity Master akin to a son of fortune. However, I can easily strip you of your luck; it’s as simple as drinking a cup of wine!”

In a flash, Li Hui felt dazed, sensing that a layer of protection above him was drifting away. When he tried to control the calamity power, he discovered it was obstructed by layers of resistance, greatly diminishing its might.

“Diminishing one’s luck?”

Li Hui was horrified. For cultivators, luck was exceptionally important. The process of cultivation was a continual enhancement of one’s luck.

Now confronting Master Ji, he astonishingly diminished the presence of the Unrivaled Calamity Master without a trace. At this rate, no amount of luck would suffice to waste away.

Master Ji sneered, “My methods do not only diminish luck; I can also reduce your lifespan, spirit, and cultivation, among other things. Even if you dominate the Wutu Continent, you shouldn’t flaunt your might in the Nine-Mystic, thinking no one exists here!”

Li Hui suddenly shouted, “The sun and moon shine together, coexisting with calamity!!!”

“Boom…” The sky manifest a radiant sun and a round moon, both exuding calamity fire and gale winds!

The sun and moon radiated ripples, shining on Li Hui’s Yang God.

Master Ji noticed this scene and nodded, “Impressive, you awakened the sources of calamity fire and gale winds in this world, but is your vision limited to this? I can diminish you effortlessly.”
