Chapter 161 - New Clue
Chapter 161: New Clue
The insane middle-aged man raised a jade scroll and said to the crowd, “This jade scroll was obtained from level 68.”
“Didn’t you reach level 78?”
“We gotta do this one by one. I’m afraid you guys can’t afford the items I got from level 70 and above.”
“What are you implying?”
“Nothing. If I took out what I got from level 78, would you dare to take it? And if you managed to take it from me, do you really think you can bring it out safely?” the man asked rhetorically.
He’s right!
Everyone came to the same realization.
“If you to refuse to sell it, we’ll just rob your ass!”
“Guys! Don’t worry. Your abilities need to match with the items you want. If I dare to take these out in the open, then it’s obvious that I ain’t afraid of y’all snatching it,” the man said. He then pointed at the crowd and shrugged. “After all, there’s a lot of people here watching!”
“Shameless!”
In the beginning, when this madman claimed that he was Li Mu, many warriors didn’t believe him.
They wouldn’t stoop so low to capture a madman.
And yet some people started becoming suspicious. After all, there were masters all around this guy.
Li Mu watched for a while andthen he snickered and left.
There’s no need for him to attract any more attention to himself.
This guy was already doing it so well. If Li Mu were a stranger, he probably would have believed that this madman was the real Li Mu!
Meanwhile, the families of the human race were discussing among themselves.
“Li Mu? Which Li family is he from?”
“I’m not sure. Out of all the humans who entered the Land of Demon Slayers this time, only two have the surname Li. From the moment they entered to the moment they went out, their every move was tracked. Neither of them could be that Li Mu.”
“Could it be someone who was chased out of the Li family and changed his surname?”
“Chief, now’s not the time to be investigating this. The important thing is that all the Li families in the Human Clan need reinforcements!”
“There are so many families with the surname Li. How are we supposed to help them all?” someone asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“We try our best to help at least of few of the Li families.”
“Yeah! In case we actually got the right Li family, wouldn’t that Li Mu thank us when he has developed? Even if we got it wrong, Li Mu would at least not blame us for it in the future.”
“On top of that, we can use this opportunity to find out more information about Li Mu.”
“There’s another piece of good news… Everyone is busy looking for Li Mu, which means our enemies have all reduced their activities.”
Soon, the various factions started protecting the Li families near them.
Many even deployed masters to help them.
They deployed masters to any Li family that they deemed as having the potential to have groomed a prodigy like Li Mu.
Even some of the orc clans who didn’t have conflicts with the Human Clan pretentiously deployed masters to various Li families.
“It’s all because of this Li Mu!”
The Wolf Clan didn’t dare to strike at the Li family despite having eyed them for a long time.
“If we continue to wait, when the masters from the other regions arrive, we won’t even get a strand of hair from Li Mu!”
This was a huge headache for the Fox Clan elders as well.
“Back then, some bastard spread the information about the Land of Demon Slayers to the entire continent. If the information wasn’t spread so early, how could the masters form the other regions have reacted so quickly? Who would have believed that the Land of Demon Slayers would appear in Fenglan?”
Li Mu brought Liu Xiu back to his mansion in the mountains.
There were several masters patrolling the surroundings.
These people were undoubtedly looking for Li Mu.
“Check in!”
“Congratulations to the host for checking in successfully at the Land of Demon Slayers. Umbrella awarded.”
An umbrella?
Li Mu recalled that the last time he was awarded an umbrella for checking in. It was an unimportant location.
He didn’t even remember where that location was.
It seemed like the Land of Demon Slayers had shrank and would be escaping into the void soon. No one knows where it would appear next.
As expected, Li Mu was unable to check in the very next day.
After quickly packing up their belongings, Li Mu retracted the hidden Hallucination Formation before bringing Liu Xiu to look for Xiu Fang and the others.
The moment the Formation was removed, the house was detected by the patrolling masters nearby.
“How did a mansion just appear here? And the architecture looks pretty strange.”
Swoosh.
The master went into the room and scanned it with his divine consciousness before rushing into the basement.
He saw the large cave entrance that was below the mansion. He also noticed that there was a thick layer of prenatal stone dust carpeting the floor. He grabbed a handful of the dust to study it.
“These prenatal stones were drained at least two months ago. That means that this is the 18th entrance to the Land of Demon Slayers. All the masters were looking for it. I’d never have imagined that it would be sitting under a house like this.”
His divine consciousness scanned the surroundings.
“Hmm? There’s still traces of someone’s presence here? The owner of the house just left a while ago?”
It makes sense since the house was only just exposed. action
Whoever it is, he’s good; only retracting the formation now.
He’s a good schemer!
Swoosh!
He started tracking down the scent.
Just as this master left, a few orcs dashed into the house.
“There a cave in the basement!”
The masters were all startled upon seeing the cave.
“The 18th entrance that we’ve all been searching for… No one expected it to be here.”
“More importantly, how did this house just appear here?”
Moments later, more orcs rushed in.
“The villagers said that the house has existed for quite a long time. It seems that it’s been here six months before the Land of Demon Slayers even appeared.”
“How’s that possible? Who could be so sharp to know that the Land of Demon Slayers would appear here this early. He even deliberately built it on top of the entrance!”
They were astonished.
The only ones who were able to detect the Land of Demon Slayers months in advance were all Demon Clan members who had deep connections to the Land.
Could it be that the owner of the house was really a master from the Demon Clan?
“There’s still some lingering scent of life here. There were people living here for a long time.”
“These are Humans, not Demons,” someone said confidently.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf it wasn’t a demon, how did he know that the Land of Demon Slayers would appear here?
Similar to the masters before them, when the orcs finished analyzing the situation, there were all baffled.
“Could this be the place where the guy called Li Mu lived?” someone wondered out loud.
His comment was followed by silence in the room.
“Now that you’ve mentioned it, I remember it too. We’ve deployed scouts at all 17 entrances, and there was definitely no human named Li Mu who entered.”
“Could Li Mu be related to the owner of this house?”
Swoosh!
Several figures dashed toward the upper floors.
The orcs rummaged through everything that had been left behind in the house.
They found nothing useful.
Swoosh!
Two of the more nimble-minded masters sprinted toward the trash piles nearby.
They rummaged through it a few times.
They found a few pieces of women’s underwear.
“Female clothing?”
“Li Mu’s a girl?”
“There’s also quite a bit of menstrual blood left underground. Based on the scent, it belongs to four girls,” a long-nosed Wolf Clan orc said after sniffing the ground for a while.
“Hmm?”
The other masters turned to look at him.
Just as they were about to ask for more information, the wolf orc zoomed past them into the distance.
“Did he find Li Mu?”
“Wolf orcs are born with an augmented sense of smell. I think he’s tracking down the four girls.”
“Then what about us? Do we just let Li Mu escape right under our noses?”
“What else can we do? Keep watch on the Wolf Clan and try to get help from the Canine Clan. This is a clue that could lead us to Li Mu. We can’t lose track of him now.”
“Other than that, what happened today cannot be spread out. Everything here must be destroyed. We cannot leave clues for the other orcs or masters from the other regions,” several orcs said.
They immediately demolished Li Mu’s mansion and destroyed the garbage piles.
