Chapter 31 - The mastermind

"This... I can tell you the truth, but I did take over this business four years ago, and I was the one who took over. "

"Then let me ask you, who is the employer? Also, Ying 49 is here! "

Shadow Forty-nine was killed by someone in a mission two years ago. As for the employer, I am sorry to say that the first rule of Shadow Door is that no one is allowed to divulge any information about the employer!

Lu Hang clenched his teeth and said with determination.

"Rules!" I'll give you the rules! "

"AHH!"

Lu Hang screamed miserably, it was so heart-wrenching scream, but he had no choice, he was incapable of moving at all, even if he was in so much pain that tears flowed out, he could only grit his teeth and persevere.

Li Mu did not sympathize at all with the man who broke one of his arms. Someone like Lu Hang who was part of the a.s.sa.s.sin's guild, was definitely not a good person, he said as he grabbed Lu Hang's left arm in his hand.

Lu Hang trembled from head to toe, unwillingly revealing the truth.

Hearing the three words Li Zhengkun's entire body s.h.i.+vered, and said: "Do you think I'm a three year old child? This was impossible! Li Mu is the genius of the Li Family and is the hope for the future of the Li Family. As the master of the Li Family, how could he possibly attack his own nephew? "

Li Mu didn't reply for a long time after hearing what he said, he just stood there, stunned. It was clear that this result was hard for him to accept.

Li Zhengkun remembered that the master of the Li family had always been someone who was highly respected and righteous. Not mentioning how others treated him, he had treated him very well since he was young, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to control the Li family for dozens of years.

But Li Mu never would have thought that the person behind the scenes would actually be him, his own blood uncle.

Lu Hang shook his head and said helplessly: "Evidence? "No, it can't be. These kinds of deals are all done privately, who would leave any evidence for the other party to use?!"

"Without evidence, how do you expect me to believe you!"

Lu Hang hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he seemed to have thought of something, and asked: "Sir, you specially came to my Shadow Door to question me about Li Mu, I think you must be someone extremely close to him, do you know anything about the son of the Master of the Li Clan, Li Zhengkun, Li Feng?"

was startled when he heard him mention his cousin Li Feng. Regarding Li Feng, they used to have quite a good relations.h.i.+p with him and would often bring him out to play in the Li Residence. However, that was many years ago.

"Think about it, Li Mu broke through to the Lesser Heaven stage when he was twelve years old, what talent is this, it is not surprising that the Li Family's spot will belong to Li Mu, but unfortunately, Li Mu was poisoned at such a crucial point, and Young n.o.ble, you are smart enough to understand some of these things, you should be able to understand it a little, right?"

As Lu Hang said this, he subconsciously glanced at Li Mu. He had a wild guess that the person in front of him was most likely Li Mu, but since the other party had not pointed it out, he would definitely become a prisoner, and he did not dare to question any further.

"Are you saying that Li Zhengkun is competing for the spots for his son? Once every three years is not once every thirty years, I do not believe that Li Zhengkun would do such a foolish thing! "

Li Mu was still a little doubtful as he questioned.

"Aiya! Think about it, if Li Mu were to join the Cloud Cracking Sect, he would not be able to soar into the sky, and in the future, even Li Feng would be able to join the Cloud Cracking Sect. After all, he was three years too late! Furthermore, there is a age limit for Cloud Cracking Sect disciples. "

Lu Hang explained anxiously, afraid that Li Mu would not be able to figure out the relations.h.i.+p between the two of them.

Ren Xiaoyao watched Shadow Door's killers carefully as he reminded Li Mu.

Li Mu slightly nodded his head, as his mind couldn't help but think of the servant A Fu who died four years ago, who was one of Li Feng's servants.

"I do not wish for today's matter to be known by any outsiders. It is best for you to seal off the mouths of you and your subordinates. Otherwise, I would not mind doing it myself!"

Li Mu undid Lu Hang's acupoints, and at the same time, activated dragon claw hand to press its claw onto the stone wall, leaving behind a claw mark that was more than a foot deep.

All the a.s.sa.s.sins took a deep breath. For Li Mu to be able to leave such a deep claw mark so easily on a stone wall, they all thought that they would definitely not be able to do it.

After witnessing Li Mu's might, Lu Hang submissively nodded his head, afraid that this lord in front of him would kill them to silence him.

Li Mu and Ren Xiaoyao looked at each other, and then left the house one after the other. Naturally, the a.s.sa.s.sins did not dare to touch them, and opened up a path for the two.

"s.h.i.+tou, how dare you leave such a deep claw mark on the wall?! Even an ordinary martial artist of the Human Realm would not be able to do it without a profound martial skill."

"What do you mean hiding your strength? It's just that your strength is a bit too great. As for you, I was about to ask why you called me a blockhead!"

"Hehe, you know the truth behind that blank look. If it isn't wood, then what is it? Right, how are you going to deal with this matter?"

Ren Xiaoyao laughed, then asked seriously.

"I, Li Mu, pursue the goal, that is, if people do not offend me, I will not offend others. If people offend me, no matter who he is, I will never stop!"

As Li Mu said this, his eyes flashed with a cold light, causing him to involuntarily s.h.i.+ver.

The reason for this was naturally for the Li family's Patriarch's son, Li Feng, to go back to the estate and receive his welcome. Muyun City was remote, and there weren't many people selected by the Cloud Cracking Sect in the past.

However, Li Feng had been an accident. In just three or four years after he had entered the sect, it was said that he had already become an inner sect disciple, just a step away from the Innate Realm. It was also because of this that he had the so-called "home visit leave".

"Congratulations!" Brother Zhengkun, your son Li Feng is rumored to be very famous in Cloud Cracking Sect, it is only a matter of time before he breaks through to the Innate Realm! "

My son was also lucky enough to be chosen as an outer disciple three years ago. He has been an outer sect disciple since then, unlike Young Nephew Li Feng, who is said to be not far from the Innate Realm.

All sorts of congratulations sounded out in front of the Li Residence's gates. The people who came were all well-known figures of the Sunset Cloud City, and Li Zhengkun, the master of the Li Family, was happily standing at the entrance to welcome everyone.

At this time, in a pavilion in the inner courtyard of Li Residence called the Flowing Wind Pavilion, Li Mu and Li Zhenglong had worried looks on their faces.

"This is too much!" For the sake of the Patriarch's position, he had actually done such a vicious thing! When have I, Li Zhenglong, ever thought of competing with him?

Li Zhenglong said as he gnashed his teeth, his fists clenched so tightly that creaking sounds could be heard. The reason for this was naturally because Li Mu had told him everything that happened at Full Moon Tower last night.

Li Mu had long pa.s.sed his period of anger, and at the moment, his face was cold and indifferent, without much emotion.

Li Zhenglong looked at Li Mu with a solemn face, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"Does father want me to give up just like that? "Although I am arrogant, but I am not arrogant enough to go against three hundred guards by myself, but in the absence of a Xiantian realm expert, it is not difficult for me to take a few lives and then retreat safely!"

Li Mu said with a proud face. He was not just bragging, with the river crossing step, no one below the Innate Realm would be able to stop him. Even if it was a normal Innate Ranker, without a profound movement technique, they wouldn't be able to stop him.

Li Zhenglong advised.

"Grandfather is a man of honor and told me four years ago that if I were to return one day, he would naturally give me justice! At that time, I still didn't understand what grandpa meant when he said that it would affect the stability of the family.

"Child, even if your grandfather knew, he wouldn't let you do it. Regarding everything that happened to you, father is more hurt than you. If it's feasible, father will help you no matter what!"

Li Zhenglong said with a bitter face and a face full of helplessness, but he still did not agree with Li Mu's idea of revenge.

"In that case, I'll have to deal with it my own way!"

Li Mu's eyes turned red, and he turned to leave.
