Chapter 430 Overwhelming the World

Stunning talents were rising from the current generation, and entering Jianghu made time on fast-forward.

Li Mu discovered a lot of secret manuals and Cultivation Methods when organizing the storage appliances left by Emperor Qin Ming, Qi Huai, Wei Wubing, and other controllers of reclusive clans and factions after being killed. But it was a shame that none of those methods offered a way to solve the problem that Wang Shiyu could not practice martial arts.

Wang Shiyu’s meridians were naturally congested, leaving not even a crack for qi to circulate. Her elixir field was also like a sea of stones. As a result, the theories of martial arts in that world did not apply to her at all.

Emperor Qin Ming had practiced the Heavenly Devil Tactics, a Cultivation Method of the extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil Sect. Unfortunately, as that Cultivation Method was too valuable, Emperor Qin Ming only bore it in his mind, so there were no written records left. Now that Emperor Qin Ming had died, Li Mu had no means to learn more about it.

Even so, Wei Wubing’s Taoism-pursuing Heavenly Book was still worth studying.

But it was a pity that Li Mu failed to make the pages reveal any words even though he had tried various methods. The old faker once said that the Heavenly Books were the most wonderful treasures in the universe. If it was meant for you to read, you could learn about anything from it. But if it was not, staring at it would be like staring at a blank wall. By then, it seemed that the book was not made for Li Mu to read.

He had also asked Wang Shiyu to take a look at the book but the pages stubbornly remained blank.

“Mu, I’m going back to the Northern Song.” One day later, Wang Shiyu bid goodbye to Li Mu. Considering the precarious political situation in the Northern Song, those powerful rebellious lords might begin attacking Lin’an. Wang Shiyu was quite worried about her adoptive father, Lord Virtuous the Eighth.

“So soon?” Li Mu was surprised. “When all the things here are settled, I will go to the Northern Song, too. So why not come back with me then?”

“As long as you’re okay, I’m assured. So, what am I still staying here for? You get your work done. And I have to go back to comfort my adopted father. He has been distressed lately. I must be there for him when he is facing the harshest ordeal.” Wang Shiyu smiled. Then, she patted Li Mu on the shoulder rather manly and added, “When you are free, do come to the Northern Song to visit me.”

Li Mu nodded and said, “Don’t worry. I will find a suited practice method for you.”

“Well, if so, thanks.”

Putting on a smiley face, Wang Shiyu was resolute about leaving. After some discussion, she and Zhao Ji, the minister of the Northern Song, mounted the six-winged dragon and set off for the Northern Song.

Ming Yue sent several experts from the Beggar Gang to escort them.

Looking from the sky, the Longcheng Pass below grew smaller and smaller until it finally shrank into a small black spot and disappeared behind the clouds. The smile on Wang Shiyu’s face had long faded. Suddenly, the girl found that tears had quietly streamed down her cheeks.

It was not that she had not shed a tear since she came to that world. But it was the second time she was so heartbroken.

Zhao Ji, who was sitting next to the Countess, felt a little helpless at that.

When had the proud Countess Huanzhu, who had once astonished Lin’an with her vigorous and unconventional notions, ever showed her weak side?

He had also guessed the reason that made the Countess cry— girls’ desire for romance.

But Sage Li already had an exceedingly beautiful Hua Xiangrong around. That girl was indeed a peerless, stunning beauty. Her gentle temperament and quiet demureness made her even more attractive. What was more, she also possessed high-level cultivation. She was an utter goddess from heaven.

Further, Hua Xiangrong was not Li Mu’s only company. There were also other girls following him, including a princess of the Western Qin who was equally gorgeous and brave.

Zhao Ji heaved with a sigh, for he had no idea how to comfort Wang Shiyu.

Failing to come up with any consoling words, he handed her a handkerchief.

Wang Shiyu didn’t take it but kept whispering to herself.

“This is not my world. I can’t learn any martial art. Even when I hurried to save him, I was the last to arrive on the scene, as if I were just a spectator.”

“Though I didn’t have the ability to really save his life, at least I ought to stand by him when he was in the direst situation. But even that I can’t do. When I arrived, everything was over. There was nothing I can help with…”

“I can’t help him with anything.”

“We are already two people living in different worlds.”

“But I can’t rely on his help all the time. I’ve got to learn to walk by myself.”

“I need to figure out a way.”

Wang Shiyu’s eyes were a little unfocused. The cold wind lif
