Chapter 529: 529
Chapter 529 Young Master of Guqin and Sword
Li Mu decided to get involved .
If that Green Lotus God of Sword did come from the Earth, Li Mu would probably have to save the Devil Cult . How could the inheritance left by Earthmen be destroyed by foreigners?
While speaking, they heard the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs .
More than a dozen Jianghu men in blue shirts entered the second floor and glanced around the restaurant . They came to the table beside Li Mu and chased away the two businessmen who were having a meal on that table . As their weapons thumped on the table, they shouted at the waiter to serve wine and dishes in no time . They acted as if there was no one else present .
“They come from the Lake City of the Four Cities Alliance,” said Ding Yi in a low voice .
Li Mu was lost in thought .
In that case, the young warrior in the blue shirt he encountered on the periphery of Nie Dragon Mountain also came from Lake City . Judging by the character of the two groups from Lake City, he thought that the decent Four Cities Alliance was just average .
“Hee-hee . By defeating one of the four branches of the Devil Cult, the Moon Dao Sect, our Four Cities Alliance’s fame spread all over the Jianghu . ” said a disciple of Lake City . He put his wine glass on the table and said with a laugh, “Hee-hee . It is so exciting . Our Lake City is also in the limelight . Isn’t Ye Wuheng, the Virgin Goddess of the Moon Dao Sect, arrogant? She is forced to flee like a stray dog now, and none of her suitors go to her aid . ”
Another disciple laughed and said, “It is our Lake City who attacks them . Hehe . Who around the world would dare protect those hunted by our Four Cities Alliance?”
“Haha . It is so thrilling . We must go to White Emperor City on Mount Shu to eliminate the whole Devil Cult . ”
“Don’t you also want to bring the Devil Cult’s treasures and beauties to your Lake City?” a strange voice asked .
The disciple of River City who spoke first laughed and said without thinking twice, “Haha . Of course . Our Lake City…”
Before he finished his words, he suddenly realized that something was wrong . He stood up and glared in the direction of the voice and said, “What the hell are you talking about, bastard? Our Lake City is a righteous sect . Wiping out the Devil Cult is to defend justice and righteousness . How dare you say we covet its treasure and beauties?”
The other disciples of Lake City also stood up and glowered with their Dao and swords in hand .
The sound came from a folding screen on Li Mu’s left .
The folding screen was delicately made of rosewood . Its hollow carving was Birds Paying Homage to the King . The folding screen acted as a barrier between the hall and the private room on the second floor .
Behind the folding screen, a young master sat beside a table . With a golden ribbon in his hair, jade on his forehead, a jade belt on his waist, and a folded fan in hand, the young master looked handsome from behind .
Two young maids at the age of 15 or 16 stood beside him . They were pretty, wearing beautifully tailored white Moonlight Dresses . One of them held a Guqin, and the other held a sword .
That young master in white had long black hair that reached his waist . Without turning around, he sneered, “Did you accidentally tell us your nasty ideas in your mind? Hehe . There is no need to dissemble . Is there anyone who doesn’t know that the Four Cities Alliance is a beast with a human face and a group of hypocrites?”
The atmosphere on the second floor crackled with tension .
One of the disciples of Lake City roared, “Impudent bastard, who are you? How dare you tarnish our Four Cities Alliance? You are trying to get yourself killed . ”
“Clang, Clang!”
Swords and broadswords were unsheathed .
“Get him . ”
“He has the impertinence to discredit our Four Cities Alliance . I think he has no idea of death . ”
“He must be an accomplice of the Devil Cult . Kill him . ”
The disciples in the blue shirts held their swords and Daos and rushed toward the folding screen .
The diners on the second floor knew that a crisis was coming, so they all stepped back .
“Hehe . You are out of our God Sect’s league . ”
The young master didn’t turn around . He unsheathed the long sword held by the maid on his left side and carried out a backhanded stroke . The viewers only saw a flash of the sword .
Everyone was momentarily dazzled .
The seven or eight disciples rushing to the folding screen became stiff . They kept their gestures of rushing and waving swords, but they were motionless .
“Crash!”
The folding screen with Birds Paying Homage to the King suddenly cracked . It shattered into eight pieces and lay on the ground . It was even more orderly than if it had been placed there by people .
In that instant, there was only a streak of sword light, but the young master wielded eight swords without exerting Natural Qi . He only relied on his sophisticated swordcraft . The scene was breathtaking .

Li Mu even couldn’t help applauding him secretly .
His swordcraft was extraordinary and had Taoist Sense .
One spot was indicative of the whole leopard . The young master in white was an expert swordsman . His attainments and cultivation of swords weren’t lower than that of Ye Wuheng .
Apart from people’s breathing, the second floor was completely silent .
The young master in white stood up and turned around . An extremely handsome face came into view .
His facial features were extremely exquisite and his eyes slanted upward a bit . His skin was whiter and finer than that of most women . His folding fan was suddenly opened, and there were four words on it—Sword Overcomes the Sky .
Every stroke of the four words nearly penetrated into the paper like a long sword . An air of piercing Sword Intent came at everyone .
He walked out of the private room and headed toward the stair landing unhurriedly .
The two beautiful maids followed him holding the Guqin and sword .
When they reached Li Mu’s table, the young master stopped and looked down at him . It seemed that he had recalled something . He suddenly scolded him . “An intellectual should focus on his study instead of paying attention to the Jianghu . The brutality and darkness in the Jianghu aren’t as good as what is described in books . You can’t even live for half a day in the Jianghu . ”
Obviously, he had heard what Li Mu just said .
After he finished, he went downstairs with his maids .
After he had been gone for a long time, the air on the second floor started to have vitality .
“He is the Young Master of Guqin and Sword, the descendant of the Water and Moon Sect, which is one of the four branches of the Devil Cult,” said Ding Yi . He was still in shock since he was sweating and gasping for air as if he had just awoken from a nightmare .
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The stiff disciples of Lake City suddenly fell down and died with some blood on their throat .
Screams came from the second floor .

Soon, the frantic sound of footsteps came .
This city belonged to Lake City . Now it was awful that their disciples were killed in this city . The boss of the restaurant was also horrified and hastily ordered someone to report .
Ding Yi gently pulled Li Mu and said, “Let’s go . Or you will be in trouble when men of Lake City come . ”
Li Mu pretended to be surprised and said, “Why? I’m not…”
“You silly boy . ” Ding Yi said angrily, “I am kindly reminding you . The men of Lake City are unreasonable . Just because of the words that the Young Master of Guqin and Sword said to you, you will definitely be considered an accomplice of the Devil Cult and be killed . If you want to save your life, just follow me . ”
Ding Yi was warmhearted . He grabbed Li Mu and ran out of the restaurant in no time .
Li Mu looked back from a distance . Dozens of flashes flickered and surrounded the restaurant instantly .
A ruthless voice howled in midair, “No one can escape from the restaurant . All of you are surviving supporters of the Devil Cult . We will capture you and interrogate you one by one . ”
Then the restaurant was filled with cries and pleadings .
Those who had the audacity to watch the drama were now calling out for their moms and dads .
Li Mu shook his head . Men of Lake City were so unreasonable that they caught people irresponsibly . They weren’t decent and righteous at all .
Ding Yi clung to Li Mu and breathed a sigh of relief when they were out of the city .
“From your looks, I know that you are a Jianghu novice who knows little about the Jianghu rules . Young fellow, for the sake of the meal you bought me, I advise you to go back to the place where you came from . The Jianghu isn’t as good as you imagine,” said Ding Yi .
Li Mu smiled and said, “Thank you, buddy . By the way, where will you go next?”
Pressing his fingers into his temples, Ding Yi said longingly, “I will go to White Emperor City on Mount Shu . As a famous master in the Jianghu, I can’t miss this big event . I will go there to watch the scene and even the scales . ”
Li Mu said, “That’s great . Can you take me? I’d like to watch the scene . ”
Ding Yi said, “You? No . It is too dangerous . You just have little strength and have no Internal Qi, so you couldn’t even protect yourself . ”

Li Mu said, “You can protect me . You are a renowned master in the Jianghu . If I follow you, no one would dare to attack me . ”
“Well, that’s true . However…” Ding Yi mumbled .
Li Mu dared him and said, “Are you bragging? I saw you were scared out of breath by the Young Master of Guqin and Sword . Well…”
“Are you kidding me? Am I afraid of him?” Ding Yi roared .
He looked at Li Mu and blurted out, “That Young Master of Guqin and Sword is just a young descendant of the Water and Moon Sect . He is only a young man in the Jianghu . As a renowned master, would I be afraid of him? Fine, now that you don’t fear to die, you can come with me . However, you should listen to me along the way . Floating in the Jianghu isn’t as easy as you imagine . ”
“Haha . Thank you so much,” said Li Mu .
He didn’t know the way to Mount Shu . What was worse, he was short of Natural Qi, so he couldn’t fly . Therefore, he had to find a guide . Incompetent as Ding Yi was, he was informed and nice . It was a good choice to follow him .
They went back to the city . Li Mu bought two horses on the horse market and took some money . He, along with Ding Yi, headed toward Mount Shu hurriedly .
“Haha . Young fellow, you really have some money since you can afford horses . However, floating in the Jianghu, you must remember not to leak your fortune, lest you get set up by others,” said Ding Yi . He was poor and never enjoyed such treatment . He felt that he made a good bargain in taking Li Mu with him . However, he still pretended to be a veteran and taught Li Mu in an old-fashioned way .
Li Mu confirmed with a nod .
After three days…
They arrived at the foot of Mount Shu .
