Chapter 927 Mu Shou Cheng
The two opened their hearts to communicate this time, and their relationship became much more harmonious. For a period of time afterwards, Li Mu was recovering from his injuries in Shanhe City.
Apart from changing residences three times during this period, I have never left Shanhe City. Shanhe City is a free city on the edge of the Northern Territory. It is not within the sphere of influence of Jincheng Fortress, so the caravans from Jincheng Fortress rarely come here. At this time, few caravans travel on unfamiliar trade routes.
In unfamiliar cities, caravans will not easily enter without local forces taking care of them. Otherwise, it is too common for gangsters to take advantage of others, or for caravans to be directly robbed. How far a caravan can go these days mainly depends on the people behind it. How deep are the tentacles of power?
Half a month later, Li Mu's injuries completely recovered. As soon as his injuries recovered and his bloodline power recovered, Li Mu stopped worrying and took Princess Ling directly towards the mountain city.
This time Li Mu went directly in a straight line, holding Princess Ling and using the wings of thunder to rush forward. Along the way, Li Mu also observed a strange phenomenon. Monsters were migrating.
Li Mu found that the monster beasts in the wild began to leave their original territory. Many monster beasts were mixed together, and they seemed to be heading towards some monster cities. Only some big monsters occupied the mountains and became kings, restraining their demon soldiers and generals. It seemed that there was no one for the time being. means to leave.
"The monsters have begun to migrate!"
Li Mu drove Princess Ling for hundreds of miles and found that this phenomenon seemed to be everywhere in the wild. It could be seen everywhere within a few hundred miles. In many places in the wild, there were no traces of monsters. All the monsters there were gone. After leaving, only a few half-demon beasts with little IQ, or pure beasts are still left.
This means that the monsters have begun to gather strength. It is said that this is how the Fuso Demon Kingdom was established. A large number of monsters migrated to Fuso, and finally killed and enslaved all the surviving humans in Fuso, and finally turned Fuso into a demon kingdom.
However, Fuso is small after all, and monsters always gather together, and it is indeed easy to form a sweeping trend, but China is different. China is too big, and its strategic depth is sufficient. It is difficult for all the monsters from various places to gather together, and even if they gather together, they cannot be dispersed. Sweep the entire China.
"The gathering of monsters and monsters. I don't know if there is any power behind this. If there is really a force controlling it, it means the Demon King is born!"
Li Mu's eyes flashed with worry and he murmured.
The birth of the Demon King is a matter of time, or in other words, it is something that humans cannot prevent, but the birth of the Demon King means that the monster beasts will change from a state of scattered sand to a unified state.
By then, sea monsters, land monsters, bird monsters, all kinds of great monsters, ancient monsters, and monster gods may all be controlled by the Demon King. Once that happens, humans will be in danger.
"What did you say?"
The sound of sonic booms kept coming to her ears. Princess Ling didn't hear what Li Mu was talking about and asked in confusion.
"nothing!"
Li Mu took a deep breath to stabilize his mood. Even if the Demon King of the Demon Clan was born, he couldn't stop it. There was no point in thinking about this.
Li Mu led Princess Ling on the way. With his strength in the Martial Saint Realm, few monsters in the Central Territory could kill him. Those powerful top monsters usually didn't have time to catch a stranger. They wanted to Food is easy to get, there is no need to fight with a strong human being.
More than half a month later, Li Mu successfully returned to the mountain city with Princess Ling. It had been almost more than a year since Li Mu left the mountain city. When Li Mu left more than a year ago, the Qinghu War had not even completely ended. However, because of the Black Dragon Taoist, existence, and finally the war subsided.
Not long after Li Mu left the mountain city, the negotiation between the mountain city and the Qinghu Water Demon was completed. The Qinghu Water Demon retreated to Qinghu. The Qinghu Fortress no longer dispatched an organized army to exterminate the water demon. The two sides entered a period of calm. During this period, , both the top officials of the mountain city and the Qinghu Water Demon are intensively searching for the Black Dragon Taoist.
But even after more than a year, there is still no trace of Taoist Black Dragon. He seems to have completely disappeared.
However, the Black Dragon Taoist has special means and can silently control strong human beings and great demons. He is a serious concern for the mountain city and the Qinghu Water Demon. Therefore, although no trace of the Black Dragon Taoist has been found, both parties have not stopped searching.
More importantly, Shancheng has also invented a special formation that can detect whether there are abnormalities in the sea of consciousness. This is helpful to determine whether someone is controlled by the Black Dragon Taoist again. A key position in the alliance military Checked almost every half month.
The mountain city has been restored in an orderly manner, and the Free City on the shore of Qinghu Lake has gradually returned to its former prosperity. And because of Li Mu's presence, the Central China region has increased its contact with the mountain city with Jiangcheng as the main core, and every month Two airships arrived at the mountain city across a distance of thousands of miles.
There are trade exchanges, personnel exchanges, and all-round exchanges with the mountain city. There are even large caravans traveling thousands of miles away, just like the ancient caravans traveling thousands of miles through the Silk Road to trade with the mountain city.
The benefits of this trade are obvious. Jiangcheng can use the materials they produce here to exchange for a large amount of resources, high-quality weapons, magic weapons, and even structural diagrams of some large magic circles.
Because of the commercial activities launched in the past year, Jiangcheng's strength has continued to accumulate and improve.
Wuhan University commissioned the Crazy Sword Club and the Tianhe Sword Sect to establish an alliance, and began to continuously send qualified students to the mountain city to study and improve.
The existence of Li Mu has also greatly promoted this kind of exchange. In the mountain city, Li Mu's reputation is at its peak. The military of the Mountain City Alliance is very generous, and the Shanwu is also very generous. There are few forces in the mountain city, large and small, who dare not to give face. This makes Jiang Cheng They enjoy preferential treatment in almost every aspect.
People in Jiangcheng did not know how much face Li Mu had in Shancheng until they came to Shancheng. The greatness of Li Mu's face surprised many people who came here for the first time.
Li Mu's reputation spread back to Central China, and even many cities of chaos and Liberty City began to spontaneously stop interfering with Jiangcheng's trade routes. In the past, many caravans were robbed and tricked by some forces in the chaos city of Liberty City. Disappear overnight.
Just kidding, if a strong man at the third level of the Great Saint Realm returned to Central China, he could destroy an entire city by himself. Who would be so unreasonable to offend such a strong man?
Even if there is a high probability that this strong man will not return for a trivial matter, one more thing is worse than one less thing. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, but be afraid of the worst. These free cities and chaotic cities don't want to cause trouble for themselves.
"The mountain city is now regaining its vitality. A year ago, the situation in Qinghu Fortress was critical, and the situation in the mountain city was also a bit chaotic. But fortunately, the situation was finally under control!"
Not long after Li Mu entered the mountain city, he heard a lot of people talking, and he almost knew the situation in the mountain city during this period.
Because more people from Jiangcheng came to Shancheng, there were also more people talking about Jiangcheng. When talking about Jiangcheng, it was inevitable to mention Li Mu. Princess Ling couldn't help but look at Li Mu in surprise when she heard these comments.
"I didn't expect that your status in Jiangcheng would be so high and your reputation would be so prominent. I used to read books before the Great Change of Heaven and Earth, and I knew that Jiangcheng was also a big city before the Great Change of Heaven and Earth. This should be called one person controlling one city!"
Princess Ling said with emotion.
"They are exaggerating. I didn't help Jiangcheng much!" Li Mu shook his head and said.
"Your fame has already helped a lot over there!"
Princess Ling said.
These are only changes on one side. In addition, in the past year or so, many geniuses have risen after the war. After every war, there will inevitably be the rise of countless geniuses and countless forces. Now is a time of great struggle, and also In a world where geniuses rise, no one knows how far these geniuses will eventually go.
Back in the mountain city, Li Mu thought about it, hesitated for a long time, and after discussing with Princess Ling, he planned to take her to Shanwu to find Nangong Mingyue.
However, Li Mu sent a communication talisman to Nangong Mingyue, but she did not respond. Li Mu estimated that she might be in seclusion in a secret realm, so he first sent a communication talisman to Xiao Rongyu, and politely asked Xiao Rongyu to help him from the side. Fan the wind.
"You went to Jincheng Fortress and found another woman. Li Mu, although you are extremely talented, you still cannot slack off at all. You must make martial arts training your first priority. You can have love between men and women, but you can't be obsessed with it. It confuses the mind and makes it a stumbling block on the road to martial arts!"
Xiao Rongyu immediately sent back a message after receiving the communication flying talisman, and then came in person to see Princess Ling.
"teacher!"
Princess Ling looked nervous. When she saw Xiao Rongyu coming, she immediately saluted Xiao Rongyu and said hello.
"Your taste never disappoints!" Xiao Rongyu looked at Princess Ling and couldn't help but say, this girl is not inferior to Nangong Mingyue in terms of appearance and figure. What she said is not false at all.
"Teacher, students have always put martial arts first!" Li Mu explained with an embarrassed look on his face. He had indeed always put martial arts first, but some things could be avoided without focusing on anything.
The details of what happened between Li Mu and Princess Ling were difficult to explain to Xiao Rongyu, otherwise Princess Ling would definitely be even more embarrassed.
"Nangong Mingyue is the legitimate daughter of the Nangong family. She has been pampered since she was a child, has great ideas, and is determined. You must not anger her, otherwise she will definitely not accept you!"
Xiao Rongyu finally explained.
Nangong Mingyue does have her own ideas, and also has the power of action and firm will. She is not one of those playboys in the mountain city. Nangong Mingyue is soft but not tough. If Princess Ling really angers her, Li Mu will have a headache.
"is teacher!"
Princess Ling felt even more nervous. What Xiao Rongyu said seemed to be very difficult for Nangong Mingyue to get along with.
"Don't worry, Mingyue is not that difficult to get along with!" Li Mu could only comfort Princess Ling and said.
"Nangong Mingyue went to Mu Shou City with a very beautiful girl a few months ago. I have never seen that girl before, but she seems to be a little special. Although it is very light, I vaguely feel that there seems to be a trace of enchantment in her body. Angry, I reminded Nangong Mingyue, but Nangong Mingyue trusted her and left with her in the end!"
"I still have things to do, so go find her!"
After Xiao Yi said this, he waved his hand and turned to leave.
Now the mountain city is still in the reconstruction period in all aspects. Many students in the mountain city died in the war, and there are many things going on in the school and in the city.
If Li Mu hadn't come back today and brought a female companion with him, Xiao Rongyu wouldn't have come to take a look in person.
However, Xiao Rongyu left in such a hurry that he didn't even notice that Li Mu had entered the Martial Saint Realm. Li Mu could now be said to be the first Martial Saint Realm expert in the mountain city who was on the table and not hidden.
But Xiao Rongyu didn't ask, and Li Mu didn't take the initiative to say it. He estimated that Nangong Mingyue was with Xia Li. I'm afraid it will gradually transform into demon essence, and there will be no demonic aura at all.
Only when Xia Li appears can Nangong Mingyue trust her. It is absolutely impossible for Nangong Mingyue to trust other transformed demons.
"The teacher left in such a hurry that I forgot to ask her where Mu Shou City is!"
Li Mu shook his head and said.
Li Mu had never heard of this Mu Shou City before. It didn't seem to be a free city or a chaotic city near the mountain city, nor did it look like a fortress.
But this didn't bother Li Mu. He directly sent a communication talisman to Shanwu's classmates, and soon after, Mu Shoucheng's detailed information was sent back.
It turns out that Mu Shou City is named after Li Mu. Mu is Li Mu’s Mu, Shou means guardian, and Mu Shou City means the city that Li Mu guards.
This is a small fortress that has just been built. All cities that belong to the alliance military are called fortresses. It is obviously different from the chaotic city of Liberty City.
This small fortress, which has just been established, less than half a year old, is located almost halfway between Shancheng and Jiangcheng. This small fortress was jointly built by Shancheng and Jiangcheng. Its purpose of existence is to serve as a transit point to reduce the advance of caravans from both sides. distance, in terms of transactions and business dealings.
The caravans coming from Jiangcheng only need to come here to unload their goods and trade with the merchants in the mountain city in the city. The same is true for the mountain city. The merchants coming from the mountain city only need to travel here and do not need to continue moving. This is a great deal. It facilitates trade between both parties.
The establishment of this fortress can make the communication between the mountain city and the river city more effective and safer.
"Let's go to Mu Shou City!"
After reading the information about Mu Shoucheng, Li Mu also became interested in this fortress. In addition, Nangong Mingyue was there, so he immediately set off with Princess Ling and rushed directly to Mu Shoucheng.
A few days later, Li Mu and Princess Ling appeared in Mu Shou City. This fortress was indeed not big. It seemed that it could only accommodate a population of one or two hundred thousand people at most. However, the walls of this castle were tall, well-guarded, and the business volume was very high. Teams come and go frequently and it is indeed a good place.
Li Mu sent out a communication talisman and received a reply from Nangong Mingyue not long after.
