Chapter 193: Chapter 147: Three-tailed Demonic Fox – Xue’Er

“What, have I not made myself clear enough? If you want to refine an artifact, go to the Hundred Refinement Peak and place a request with Elder Yin.” Li Mu frowned, reiterating to Tian Wenjie.

He was quite curious about what kind of tactics this third-generation immortal could use to pressure him.

Over the years, Li Mu had refined quite a number of spiritual artifacts for the Qing Xuan Sect. Although he kept a low profile in his daily actions, his status among the sect’s higher-ups was incomparable to that of ordinary elders.

Moreover, the rules of the Qing Xuan Sect have always been strict. Even when facing Cyan Cloud True Monarch, Li Mu was not afraid of him, let alone a third-generation immortal.

Faced with Li Mu’s fearless gaze, Tian Wenjie felt uncomfortable. Previously, elders and disciples he met feared his status and never dared to show him any disrespect.

However, an elder like Li Mu, who feared neither soft nor hard tactics and made a living by his own skills, was not intimidated by his grandfather’s prestige. Tian Wenjie really had no means to deal with him.

Tian Wenjie’s mind raced, and he immediately thought of something, smiling threateningly, “Elder Li, why are you hiding your cultivation? You obviously have Golden Core cultivation but pretend to be a Foundation Establishment cultivator? Do you have other motives?”

“By the way, what you just used was the Five Elements Wood Escape! Our sect has quite a few bounties, Golden Core cultivators, Five Elements… I suspect you are the cultivator being tracked by the Venerable of the Mountain and River Sect.” Tian Wenjie spoke eloquently as he injected divine sense into his disciple token.

With Tian Wenjie’s words, Li Mu’s face changed drastically. He never expected this guy’s mistake to accidentally hit the mark.

Noticing Li Mu’s expression, Wang Jianfeng was slightly taken aback.

Could it really be such a coincidence?

Did he actually guess correctly?

No way!

“Oh! What do you want then?” Li Mu fully released his divine sense; this matter could no longer be simply resolved.

If the Mountain and River Sect’s Venerable Huo Tian learned of his whereabouts, what would follow would be relentless pursuit.

Li Mu was waiting for the Five Elements Spirit Plants to mature and to promote to Nascent Soul; he didn’t want to fail at such a critical moment.

So now, the only thing he could do was silence him.

“It’s simple, do as I say. Help me refine a spiritual artifact, no, two, and I might consider not exposing you.” Tian Wenjie’s eyes lit up as he confidently declared.

“Young Master Tian, run!” Wang Jianfeng had sensed the dangerous aura emanating from Li Mu and uttered hurried words before turning to flee.

However, how could Li Mu let him escape easily? His figure melded into the earth and vanished. In the next instant, the sound of fighting was heard, followed shortly by a miserable scream.

Tian Wenjie shivered, watching helplessly as Elder Li, with a daunting aura, slowly flew towards him, holding the unconscious Wang Jianfeng.

“Elder Li, you, you, I, I…” Tian Wenjie was so terrified by Li Mu’s murderous intent that he couldn’t speak, his limbs unresponsive.

Escape, how could he escape!

Wang Jianfeng reacted quickly enough, yet he hadn’t run far before being caught again.

This efficiency, not even his grandfather Cyan Cloud True Monarch could manage, right?

“What a waste Cyan Cloud True Monarch has begotten!” Li Mu glanced at Tian Wenjie disdainfully, raising his hand and bringing it down swiftly.

Tian Wenjie felt his soul go black, a pain at his neck, and immediately his vision turned dark as he lost consciousness completely.

Glancing at the limp Tian Wenjie on the ground, Li Mu casually tossed Wang Jianfeng aside, his figure flashing and disappearing into the earth once more.

Upon returning, Li Mu held a small fox with three tails struggling with a “gag” sound.

“Stay quiet, or I’ll kill you,” Li Mu angrily scolded before unleashing the Celestial Shuttle Spirit Ship, levitating Wang Jianfeng and Tian Wenjie with divine thought, and entered the spirit ship together.

With a “whoosh,” the Celestial Shuttle Spirit Ship soared into the sky, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Inside a sealed stone chamber on Moon Pearl Peak.

“It hurts, it hurts so much!” Tian Wenjie clutched his head, waking from his stupor and crying out in pain.

“Senior Brother Wang, you’re not dead? Where are we?” Tian Wenjie, enduring the pain, looked around and saw Wang Jianfeng staring at him with a complex expression.

“We should be in a prison on Moon Pearl Peak.” Wang Jianfeng coldly speculated.

“Why? Why would Elder Li imprison us?” Tian Wenjie’s face changed dramatically, immediately forgetting his headache.

“Junior Brother Tian, how could you be so smart to guess Elder Li’s background and still dare to say it to his face?” Wang Jianfeng mocked Tian Wenjie cynically.

Thanks to Tian Wenjie, who exposed ’Elder Li’s’ background, he was dragged into this mess as well.

Who would have thought that this Elder Li could have connections to the Mountain and River Sect’s Venerable Huo Tian! That’s a Divinity Transformation cultivator! Anyone who can escape a Divinity Transformation cultivator’s pursuit can’t be a simple character, can they?

Yet, even someone who a Divinity Transformation cultivator couldn’t track was exposed with just a slip of Tian Wenjie’s tongue.

He couldn’t believe he provoked such a person.

Wang Jianfeng didn’t know whether to thank Tian Wenjie or blame him.

“I just said it offhandedly. How could I have known that Elder Li’s identity was really that of his! What to do, will Elder Li kill us to silence us?” Tian Wenjie asked worriedly with a long face.

“I don’t think so. If we die, the soul lamp we placed in the Ancestral Hall would go out, and then the sect would surely investigate to the end. That’s why ’Elder Li’ hasn’t killed us,” Wang Jianfeng mused after some thought.

“That’s good, that’s good!” Tian Wenjie heaved a sigh of relief, hearing that they wouldn’t die.

“Junior Brother Tian, don’t be too optimistic. We may not die, but we can’t escape either!” Wang Jianfeng lamented, reminding him.
