I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm-Chapter 256 - 175: Venerable Qingwei (Part 2)

"What!" Liu Changzai’s expression changed drastically, his face full of frost, and he apologized to Li Mu: "Fellow Daoist Li, I’m sorry, the sect has matters to attend to, I must take my leave first!"

"Wait a moment, I’ll go with you all. This matter primarily started because of me. If it weren’t for me killing the Blood Refining Demon Monarch, they wouldn’t have come pressing at our door."

During this period, thanks to the Spirit Taming Sect’s good hospitality, the Blood Refining Demon Monarch was slain by him, yet the Spirit Taming Sect ended up carrying the blame.

Tens of thousands died because of him, Li Mu felt some guilt.

Liu Changzai nodded, not refusing Li Mu’s goodwill.

Soon, under Liu Changzai’s guidance, the two arrived at the Sect Master Hall. Except for a few external Nascent Soul True Monarchs, nearly all of the Spirit Taming Sect’s Nascent Soul True Monarchs were present, totaling twenty-seven, along with two Divinity Transformation Cultivators.

The Nascent Soul True Monarchs, upon seeing Li Mu, all showed him warm smiles, revealing intentions of flattery. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

One Nascent Soul True Monarch, upon seeing Li Mu, avoided his gaze, it was the Celestial Vast True Monarch.

Seeing the expression of the Celestial Vast True Monarch, Li Mu could guess the reason. The other party clearly did not want to give up the Extreme Yang Celestial Fire, even if it meant severing their relationship and opposing him.

Alas!

The Celestial Fire was not easy to acquire!

Li Mu sighed, his heart filled with helplessness.

Facing the greetings from the numerous Nascent Soul Cultivators, Li Mu nodded slightly, responding to each.

However, Li Mu focused more attention on the fifty-something man beside Venerable Lei Hong, who exhibited a profound aura, wore a black magic robe, and had a face etched with the marks of time, his eyes deep, definitely not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

Li Mu sensed the subtle spiritual pressure emanating from him and was startled to discover that this Divinity Transformation Cultivator had reached the late-stage Divinity Transformation, just a step away from the next great realm—Refining Void.

Venerable Lei Hong showed great respect towards him, standing by his side with a sense of deference.

"Senior Brother, this is from the Qing Xuan Sect, Elder of Artifact Refining—Grandmaster Li Mu. Not only is his cultivation superb, but he can also refine Tier Five Postnatal Spiritual Treasures, an Artifact Refining Grandmaster. Just a few days ago, he refined a Tier Five Postnatal Spiritual Treasure for Junior Brother Taiyi and Junior Sister Chen Xiao." Venerable Lei Hong introduced Li Mu with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Li, this is my Senior Brother, the Supreme Elder of our sect—Venerable Qingwei." Venerable Lei Hong introduced to Li Mu.

"Greetings, Senior!" Li Mu nodded slightly, greeting Venerable Qingwei.

"So it’s Fellow Daoist Li. I’ve heard quite a bit about your exploits since I came out of seclusion. Truly, you are young and promising! I heard you crossed the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation and successfully killed the Tian Jue Demon Venerable?" Venerable Qingwei squinted slightly, scrutinizing Li Mu, full of surprise.

Tian Jue Demon Venerable was an old adversary. That fellow’s demon techniques were superb. Fighting him one-on-one, Venerable Qingwei couldn’t handle him in the short term.

Yet, such a demon monarch giant was defeated by a novice Nascent Soul, so the shock within Venerable Qingwei can be imagined. He was dubious and couldn’t help but suspect the authenticity of this news.

"The rumors are somewhat exaggerated; the main credit goes to the ancestor of our sect, Ancestor Qingfeng. I just took a bit of credit! Somehow it got reported this way!" Li Mu smiled bitterly, humbly denying.

"Is that so! Then the matter of refining the Tier Five Postnatal Spiritual Treasure can’t be false, can it!" Venerable Qingwei chuckled, obviously not believing, as he continued to investigate further.

Li Mu smiled and nodded, straightforwardly admitting, "As for Artifact Refining, I happen to have a bit of talent and fortunately gained some refining heritage, so I can indeed refine these Tier Five Postnatal Spiritual Treasures."

"Haha! That’s excellent!" Venerable Qingwei laughed heartily, nodding in satisfaction. Just as he was about to continue speaking, an explosion was heard.

Venerable Lei Hong, Venerable Qingwei, and the numerous Nascent Soul True Monarchs at the scene displayed a trance-like state, simultaneously releasing Divine Thought to inspect the sudden change outside.

Their faces turned unspeakably grim as they realized an invasion by the enemy.

They also noticed the abnormality of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, which suddenly became extremely violent.

"It’s not good! It’s terrible! Sect Master, people from the Blood God Sect are attacking!" A Golden Core disciple hurried over on a sword, reporting urgently and in panic.

"Good, good, good. Ever since our ancestor ascended, any beast dares to come step on the Spirit Taming Sect, really thinking there is no one left in the Spirit Taming Sect!" Venerable Qingwei glared with angry eyes, exuding terrifying spiritual pressure.

"Disciples of the Spirit Taming Sect, form the array, and meet the enemy!"

Venerable Lei Hong immediately took out a Sect Leader Order, activated it with Spiritual Power, and coldly issued a command, the command instantly reaching the ears of all disciples of the Spirit Taming Sect, mobilizing all combat power to form an array against the enemy.

Li Mu’s heart tightened, and he couldn’t help but become alert. He had dealt with the Nine Demons Sect several times. The Nine Demons Sect always acted with the strength in numbers. However, the Blood God Sect was challenging the Spirit Taming Sect with a single sect’s strength, certainly suspicious.

What conspiracy are the other eight sects of the Nine Demons Sect plotting?

There’s no reason for the Blood Demon Sect to willingly lead the charge! So many people coming out?

Li Mu was somewhat conflicted, finding himself in such a large-scale skirmish again. If caught up in it, there would undoubtedly be significant risk!

To leave just like that would be somewhat untimely!

Li Mu sighed, thinking he could only take a look first!

If a critical situation arose, with his proficient Five Elements Escape Technique, combined with the Eagle Thunder Wings, breaking through and escaping the encirclement of the Nine Demons Sect should not be too challenging.

Li Mu glanced at the character panel, counting the trump cards available for confronting the enemy.
