Li Mu took a pill and then, with his eyes closed, ran the method beside the Demon Locking Well.

He carefully felt the power of the lightning.

He began to understand the rule of lightning. Or rather, it could be said that he finally gained the knowledge of lightning rules in this world.

It was just a matter of positive and negative electric charges.

He could instantly generate powerful positive and negative electric charges within his field, and electricity could beat everything.

Li Mu decided that he would generate electricity to carry out some experiments in his field when he was free.

This was the first time he had conjured lightning, but he didn’t expect that Elder Nangong would think that he comprehended the lightning rule.

That was a tip for him. Maybe he could just start by understanding the lightning rule.

Half an hour later however, the entire underground palace was filled with lightning.

All the bloody mist rising from the Demon Locking Well was swallowed by the lightning.

Two hours later, Li Mu’s field disappeared but the thunder and lightning still filled the underground palace.

A day later, the lightning formed into a dragon that flew around the underground palace.

A muffled sound emanated from Li Mu’s body as numerous bolts of lightning moved in and out of his body.

Sometimes it appeared and sometimes disappeared.

One lightning bolt went straight down the Demon Locking Well.

“Damn it!” A desperate wail came from the well.

“How can someone manage to master the lightning rule? Who could it be?”

After a long time, a whimpering cry came out from the well.

“That little bastard broke through again, what should we do?”

Five days later, Li Mu woke up from his cultivation.

Finally! He broke through!

He disappeared in a flash and reappeared outside Mount Yan.

He waved his hand and shattered a big rock some distance away.

Then he drew his sword as purple lighting flashed around the blade.

With the thunder and lightning around the sword, the sword was like a swimming dragon.

“So powerful!”

In the same big hall of Honghai Sacred Ground.

One elder was missing.

“The one who can kill Nangong is definitely not an ordinary half-step Virtual Realm expert. It’s better if we were to send someone to avenge Elder Nangong. But not me, I don’t want to die,” said an elder in the back row down the hall on the left.

“It’s our dignity! Is there anyone who would want to help Nangong Clan? Even after all the incidents that have happened?”

The sectmaster, Qiu Shuzhen asked.

“Sectmaster, you should know that I have always been at odds with the Nangong family. I can’t wait to see more bad things happen to them,” said one of the elders in the front row.

Qiu Shuzhen swept a glance at the crowd and sighed slightly.

In the main hall, those who had the strength to take revenge for Elder Nangong were the rivals of Clan Nangong.

The others were sidekicks of Clan Nangong, and they weren’t strong enough. If these people were sent out, they would definitely in the battle.

Ever since Elder Nangong was killed, all the forces in the sacred ground have been taking action.

Some have even began to take the resources that used to belong to Clan Nangong.

It was only several days ago that Qiu Shuzhen gathered elders to discuss the situation of Elder Nangong.

But after three days, nobody had agreed to investigate the death of Elder Nangong. They only cared about robbing the resources of Clan Nangong.

“Sectmaster, I think it’s better to invite the grand elder out!” One member of Clan Nangong said.

“The grand elder is in seclusion and the sacred ground isn’t in danger. Why should we invite him out? What if we disturbed his comprehension? Do you want to bring more loss to the sacred ground?” Immediately, the two elders spoke up to object.

At the same time, they glared at the members of Clan Nangong with disdain. The elders all didn’t seem to care at all.

The hall fell silent once again.

Suddenly, a disciple rushed in from outside the hall. “I have bad news! The Virtual Realm Detecting Compass tells that an expert of the Virtual Realm has appeared in Nanzhou.”

“What?”

All the elders in the hall got up and looked at the newcomer.

“Impossible!”

“How can such an expert appear in Nanzhou? There isn’t even enough prenatal qi there. It’s even impossible to have one with the cultivation of Upper-Level Perfected Person there,” the elders exclaimed.

“You must have made a mistake.”

“Sectmaster, Elders, that is what the compass told us,” the disciple said carefully as he looked at the elders with certainty.

“Then is the Virtual Realm Detecting Compass broken?” One of the elders said that as he ran out of the main hall.

The other elders looked at each other and followed him out of the main hall.

Inside the top hall of the sacred ground, the red pointer of the big compass was trembling in the center. It pointed straight in the direction of Nanzhou; even the two grids on the side of Nanzhou lit up.

“That’s just the general direction. Nothing is conformed yet. It doesn’t mean that a Virtual Realm expert has appeared exactly in Nanzhou.”

“Yes! Maybe the ancestor of a clan living in seclusion in the south broke through.”

The elders all had complex emotions in their hearts.

How could there be a cultivator of Virtual Realm in a shitty place like Nanzhou?

“Ridiculous! Such a powerful cultivator can’t appear among those barbarians.” One of the elders laughed loudly.

“Elder Tuoba, what do you mean by that? You robbed all the resources in Zhongzhou. The immigrants from Nanzhou have been suppressed by you. How could they get the resources to become experts of Virtual Realm? Many years ago, there were a lot more experts of Virtual Realm in Nanzhou than in Zhongzhou!”

An old man in blue with a white beard stood out from the corner with an angry face.

With his wide robe, jade belt, and black hat, he was different from most of the elders in the hall since they were wearing animal skin hats.

“How dare you resist, barbarian of Nanzhou? Believe it or not, I will catch a few women from Nanzhou to play with tonight.”

“You...”

“No more quarrelling! We better end someone to investigate and check on Elder Nangong,” said Qiu Shuzhen as he wiped the sweat on his forehead.

If a cultivator of the Virtual Realm appeared in Muguang Mountain, they would have trouble conquering other places.

“I hope this Virtual Realm is in Nanzhou. In that case, the devil would be something trivial.” Elder Mu gritted his teeth and whispered.

“What about you going there, Elder Mu? You are from Nanzhou, so you should be familiar with the area,” Qiu Shuzhen said with a gloomy face. It seemed to be a request, but there was actually no room for negotiation.

“Okay.” Elder Mu froze but eventually nodded his head.

He was ordered to check since apparently, a cultivator of Virtual Realm had appeared in Nanzhou. He had no idea what exactly happened.

Qiu Shuzhen waved his hand. What troubled times!

Before they could figure out more information about the Evil Gang, Elder Nangong had got into an accident, and then a Virtual Realm appeared in the south. These incidents keep happening.

In Shouning Palace, Li Mu placed several things on the bookshelf. They were of no use to him now, and many were obtained by signing in at the palace.

They were already of no use to Li Mu.

Many of them were pills, methods, and secret books.

On the bookshelf, there was still the scent of Liu An and Liu Rui, so they must come here a lot. “Let’s hope these things can be useful to them!” He remained low-key in the palace for sixty years and time seemed to fly in a blink of eyes. For most of these years, he was at Shouning Palace.

In the main hall, there was a purple robe for eunuchs.

The front and the back of the robe were embroidered with four-clawed dragons.

Only eunuchs of the highest status could wear these purple robes in the palace.

And having dragons on both sides of the robe was the privilege of the royal family.

“It seems that Liu An had figured out my identity a long time ago. I must thank him for not saying anything for many years, although he saw through me.”

After that, Li Mu left some sword qi with lightning in the palace according to the Restrictive Spell rules of Forbidden Grounds in Clan Xia.

With the Sword Qi in place, even Virtual Realm experts would need to think twice before finding trouble with Liu An and Liu Rui.

After leaving the State of Great Xia, Li Mu went straight to Bailing Valley in Muguang Mountain.

“Eunuch Li, are you there?”

Shortly after Li Mu left, Liu An appeared in Shouning Palace.

He looked around before ending up in the main hall of the bedroom palace.

Seeing the room filled with books, bottles, and jars, he knew that Li Mu had just been here. action

Liu An opened one book and immediately froze. Then surprise and nervousness appeared in his eyes.

“Someone, go to Baiyun Temple and invite my sister here.”
