I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 634 - 346: The Ambush Battle (Part 1)

Sword Master Feng suddenly waved his hand, and an invisible force instantly enveloped him and Li Mu tightly. The next moment, their figures appeared inside a magnificent grand hall. This hall was resplendent, with every corner shimmering with dazzling light, exuding a sense of solemnity.

"Master Li, this hall is now covered by my Sword Domain, ensuring no one else can disturb us. If you have any requests, please feel free to make them," Sword Master Feng looked at Li Mu with eyes full of curiosity and respect.

Li Mu looked at the hall in front of him and then at Sword Master Feng, gratefully saying, "Thank you, Sword Master. To be honest, a few days ago, I was assassinated by a Void Assassin sent by the Demon Abyss. Fortunately, a Secret Treasure protected my life, allowing me to narrowly escape."

Sword Master Feng was surprised upon hearing this: "Why is that? Demon Abyss actually sent a Void Assassin after you?"

Li Mu gave a helpless smile: "I really don’t know the reason. But now, I am being watched by them, so I have to act cautiously. Therefore, I used a Divination Treasure to conduct some inference and found that if I leave the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region to go to the Central State Spirit Realm, there will definitely be a calamity on the way."

After pausing for a moment, Li Mu looked at Sword Master Feng, sincerely continuing, "The danger of this calamity seems to be quite significant, so I hope that during this trip, I can have the Sword Master’s protection for a certain distance."

Sword Master Feng was surprised by these words and curiously asked Li Mu: "Master Li, are you also skilled in the Dao of Celestial Secret?"

Li Mu gave a wry smile: "Just a little. However, being able to deduce this calamity is entirely thanks to a Karma Spiritual Treasure."

To prove his words, Li Mu summoned the ’Time Fortune Spirit Turtle’ from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl.

Only to see the Time Fortune Spirit Turtle manifesting as a white spirit turtle, looking somewhat weary, with eyes filled with the Power of Time and the Power of Cause and Effect, flashing with peculiar radiance, exchanging a glance with Sword Master Feng.

Seeing the extraordinary spirit light emitted by the Time Fortune Spirit Turtle, Sword Master Feng was even more astonished. This highly spiritual treasure is indeed an extremely rare treasure for Celestial Secret Inference. Judging by its excessive spiritual power consumption and weakened spiritual state, it seemed to have just undergone an inference of celestial secrets.

"So it seems, the Nine Demons Sect and Demon Abyss might even dispatch a stronger lineup to ambush Master Li!" Sword Master Feng instantly believed Li Mu’s words, with a hint of killing intent in his expression, and concernedly asked Li Mu, "Master Li, I agree to this request. When do you plan to depart?"

Li Mu fell silent for a moment, then indicated, "In three days! I need to make some preparations."

Sword Master Feng nodded to express his understanding.

"In that case, I will arrange everything within these three days," Sword Master Feng nodded, looking at Li Mu solemnly, "Master Li, rest assured, as long as I am here, during this trip, I will not let you suffer any harm!"

Soon, the two ended this secret conversation and returned to the square, where Li Mu continued discussing with the array masters about array matters.

The next day, Li Mu returned to Ten Thousand Stars Island, stepping once more into Li’s Treasure Tower. He felt a sense of lamentation, knowing that this once-familiar place must now be temporarily bid farewell. Upon returning to the Treasure Tower, he immediately summoned Liu Yalan and Xue’Er to prepare some arrangements for the personnel appointments at Li’s Treasure Tower.

Li Mu knew well that after leaving the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region this time, he might not return for a while, and perhaps not again. Li’s Treasure Tower, as his important base in the sea region, had to be managed by someone trustworthy. Liu Yalan was his trusted choice, but before that, he needed to make some preparations.

Li Mu went to the Treasure Tower’s warehouse to carefully select some high-tier spiritual materials to take with him.

Afterward, Li Mu gathered all the personnel of Li’s Treasure Tower to announce his decision, handing over full management rights of Li’s Treasure Tower to Liu Yalan, promoting several management levels, and increasing staff benefits.

He brought Liu Yalan and Xue’Er alone into the inner hall for a conversation.

Li Mu specially refined a batch of Signal Tokens, a total of twenty-seven tokens, and handed them over to Liu Yalan along with a list of names. These people were those who had gifted him congratulatory gifts before, and they were his high-tier connections in the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region.

"Shopkeeper Liu, from now on, Li’s Treasure Tower will be entirely your responsibility!" Li Mu solemnly handed a Storage Ring to Liu Yalan, "According to this list, you will deliver these Signal Tokens to them as soon as possible!"

Liu Yalan, moved, took the Storage Ring and quickly responded, "Please rest assured, Tower Master, I will not fail you and will ensure these tokens are delivered promptly."

"Lord Li, what’s happened all of a sudden?" Xue’Er looked at Li Mu, bewildered, asking.

"Well, the plan has changed. I have decided to rush to the Central Continent Spirit Realm as soon as possible." Li Mu paused, looked at Xue’Er, and confessed honestly. Then he looked at Liu Yalan and instructed, "Cancel the grand ceremony originally scheduled for next month. The people on this list are those who bestowed gifts on me. If they want artifact refining in the future, let them bring the Signal Tokens to find me in the Central Continent Spirit Realm."

Upon hearing this, Xue’Er seemed to have an epiphany, immediately recalling Li Mu’s previous assassination incident. She fell silent and agreed with this decision.

Upon hearing the news, Liu Yalan was stunned and surprisedly asked, "Tower Master, aren’t you planning to come back?"

"Of course not, I will come back eventually, and I will also come over whenever I have time, or send someone over! For now, with the presence of the Profound Celestial Sword Array, the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region is temporarily safe. If the situation changes, I will find a way to bring you along." Li Mu shook his head, smiling as he explained.
