Chapter 852 - The Rise of the Li Family

"My name is Zhang Chu. Since you know of the Mu Yun City Li family, then you should be a member of the Chu Country. Since you are a member of the Chu Country, then I hope that you can give face to the Cloud Cracking Sect and give me some face."

After knowing that it was very likely that Li Mu was someone from the Gold Jade Sect, Zhang Chu's att.i.tude towards him changed greatly, and there was no longer the arrogance he had before. Instead, he started to smile, but a trace of fierceness appeared in the depths of his eyes.

It's fine if I let you go, but you have to answer a few questions honestly. If I'm satisfied with your reply, I can let you live; after all, I'm not a bloodthirsty person.

Li Mu did not pay much attention to the change in Zhang Chu's att.i.tude. This was the case in the cultivation world as there were countless people who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Zhang Chu was clearly a person who possessed both of these characteristics at the same time.

Zhang Chu smiled at Li Mu, and seeing that Li Mu was giving him this chance, he heaved a sigh of relief, and Leng Qingcheng was cooperating with him, taking back the Frost Dragon Claw that was grabbing Zhang Chu, with their cultivations, they naturally were not afraid that Zhang Chu would escape.

Seeing that Zhang Chu was willing to cooperate with him, Li Mu asked straightforwardly.

"Roughly ten years ago, this Li Family had gotten lucky and actually started to get stronger. The Patriarch, Li Yuncheng, the strongest in the family, actually broke through the bottleneck of the Innate realm and became a powerful expert in one fell swoop."

"In the secular world, experts of the sacred art realm rarely appear in aristocratic families, and with Li Yuncheng's breakthrough, it caused quite a big commotion. However, this Li family is also very low-key, even if their family produced a person of the sacred art realm, it was not too obvious."

"Although the Li family did not make much of a name for themselves, it attracted the attention of other powers. It is said that at that time, there was a small sect that sent out three elders of the Divine Arts realm and tried to force the Li family's Ancestor, Li Yuncheng, to come under their tutelage. However, the result shocked the entire cultivation world of Chu.

"Because there is a precedent, basically no sect is willing to touch the Li Family's bad luck, and my Cloud Cracking Sect didn't care that much at the time, after all, my Cloud Cracking Sect has always been the leader of Chu's cultivation world. Even if the Li Family produced a person in the Divine Arts realm, it wouldn't be enough to attract our attention."

"But exactly because he didn't pay any attention at that time, he left us Cloud Cracking Sect with a serious problem. Although the Li family didn't make it public, they have never thought that in a short span of a dozen years, they would actually be secretly cultivating their forces. Just three years ago, my Cloud Cracking Sect realized that his Li family had already grown to a terrifying level, even my Cloud Cracking Sect can't do anything about him."

What Li Mu had said to Zhang Chu made a cold laugh in his heart. Back then, when he left, he had given the river crossing step and other Heaven Ranked Martial Technique s to Li Zhenglong, and even gave him a high grade Earth element Earth attribute Earth attribute Earth Elemental Qi Transformation Art. If he still could not stabilize the Li family in Chu like this, then Li Mu would not believe it at all.

"I'm asking you, what's going on with the Cloud Cracking Sect and the Li Family? Why are you spouting so much nonsense to me? Are you trying to stall for time?"

Looking at the excited Zhang Chu, Li Mu asked with an ice-cold tone.

"Because the Chu Country is this big, and some of the origin vein crystal mines and other resources have already been divided. In order to expand his Li family, he offended the Jin Yuan Men of my Chu Country from the very beginning, only second to my Cloud Cracking Sect."

"After a big battle, guess what the outcome will be. Not only did Jin Yuan Men not win, she was even forced to submit to the Li family, and even the mountain gate was occupied by the Li family. Right now, the southwest peak where the Jin Yuan Men's mountain gate is located, has already become the Li family's foothold. The difference between the strength of the Jin Yuan Men and my Cloud Cracking Sect is not that big, and coupled with the fact that their sect is easier to defend than attack, it's precisely because of this that my Cloud Cracking Sect can't do anything to his Li Family! "

"Li Mu, isn't the Li Clan this guy was talking about exactly the same as the clan you came from?"

"That's right. If not, I wouldn't have asked such a small question. Looking at the time, I've already left for twenty years. Since I've returned to Chu, I'd like to take a look. Qingcheng, do you mind?"

The faces of Li Zhenglong, Li Xue, Li Yuncheng and the others continued to flash across Li Mu's mind. This made him really want to go home and have a look, after all, she had been away from home for nearly twenty years.

Leng Qingcheng happily accepted Li Mu's suggestion, but after hearing the conversation between the two of them, Zhang Chu, who was standing at the side, was scared out of his wits. He never would have thought that Li Mu was actually a member of the Li Clan.

Zhang Chu said as he looked at Li Mu with cold sweat, afraid that Li Mu would kill him.

"Don't worry, I, Li Mu, have always kept my promise. Go back and tell Cloud Cracking Sect's Sect Master Chu Lao and Chu Jiao to wash their necks and wait for me there. Ten days later, I will go find them!"

"As for you, I can pardon my death sentence, but I cannot redeem you for your living crime. Earlier, you took my Eastern Emperor Bell with your right hand. Then, leave your right hand as a souvenir!"

"Leave behind the map of Chu, then scram!"

After cutting off one of Zhang Chu's arms, Li Mu coldly growled at him. Although Zhang Chu was somewhat unwilling, he did not dare disobey Li Mu's words. Leaving behind a jade slip, he dragged his injured body and quickly left.

"Rest King!" Why did you not do anything, causing me to lose an arm because of that guy! "

In a secluded valley forest, Zhang Chu leaned against a huge tree with a pale complexion. Because he had his right arm cut off by Li Mu, he was injured and had lost a lot of vitality, but even so, he did not immediately recover.

"That guy has a saint artifact. Although I've recovered quite a bit of my Essence over the years, I'm not confident I can defend against it. Just endure for a few more years. When that time comes, we'll definitely be able to sweep through the entire Yuheng Continent!"

Following Zhang Chu's low shout, a silver light suddenly lit up inside the clothes on his chest. After the silver light flashed, a figure whose face could not be seen clearly appeared in front of Zhang Chu.
