Li Mu, who was about to leave the conference room, suddenly sharpened his eyes.

He turned around and looked at Xu Mingxuan as if she were an idiot.

This person isn't just stupid, he's genuinely stupid.

Only a fool would think that others are even more foolish.

Are all the dozens of martial artists present fools?

Everyone in the room was trying to curry favor with Li Mu, discussing what resources they could exchange for the teleportation jade token and how much they could get in return.

This guy actually came to question me about why, and even made verbal threats.

Is this a sign that they're going to break off all ties with each other?

Li Muxin said,

"I can give the teleportation tokens I crafted to whomever I want. If I'm not happy, I won't give you a single one. What are you going to do about it?"

Besides, is your Treasure Pavilion so powerful? In my eyes, Li Mu, it's nothing but a fart.

Now standing on someone else's turf, Li Mu suppressed his anger and asked:

"Master Xu, what is it that you are dissatisfied with? Are you using the Treasure Pavilion to threaten me?"

Li Mu's voice wasn't loud, but everyone present could hear him clearly.

Not only that, he also used a secret sound transmission technique to send his voice directly into Xu Mingxuan's ears, shocking Xu Mingxuan into a daze.

Xu Mingyu, who was also attending the meeting, knew something bad was about to happen the moment her older brother stood up.

By the time he realized what was happening, it was too late to stop Xu Mingxuan from uttering threatening words to Li Mu.

At this moment, he grabbed Xu Mingxuan's arm, trying to stop his older brother from further provoking Li Mu.

“Fellow Daoist Li, my elder brother misspoke. My Xu family has no intention of offending you.”

Xu Mingyu looked at Li Mu with a sincere and embarrassed expression.

More than ten years ago, he was saved by Li Mu and witnessed Li Mu's ruthless decisiveness.

Although he didn't think the Xu family could defeat Li Mu with the full strength of the clan, he didn't want the Xu family to have another powerful enemy.

Xiling is a good example.

.

Li Mu looked at Xu Mingyu and nodded slightly.

At this moment, Xu Mingxuan must have been stunned by his secret telepathic communication technique, his face turning deathly pale.

However, just as he was about to leave, he sensed a powerful cultivator approaching the conference room.

The newcomer possessed a strong aura and solid cultivation, indicating he was already a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Ninth Level of Qi Refining.

This person came with anger, probably wanting to stand up for Xu Mingxuan.

According to Li Mu's original intention, given his connection with Xu Shiheng, he planned to let Xu Mingxuan go.

Unexpectedly, even though he didn't hold it against them, the Xu family wouldn't let it go.

After the young one was beaten, the old one came.

Li Mu stood still, waiting for the person to enter.

"Hahaha!.."

Immediately, deafening laughter filled the conference room.

The laughter was unrestrained, filled with contempt and mockery.

It seemed that all the martial artists in the room were cowards and were not taken seriously by the newcomer.

Wu Qingfeng and Ran Hui's expressions changed drastically when they saw the newcomers.

They were all of the same generation, cultivating immortal techniques, but this person was exceptionally talented, possessing strength comparable to the Foundation Establishment stage.

In the past, when people discussed philosophy together, this person would scrutinize every little thing, whether it was for verbal gain or personal benefit.

His peers generally don't want to be friends with him, much less offend him.

Wu Qingfeng and Ran Hui bowed to the newcomers and said:

"Brother Xu, how have you been?"

"Brother Xu, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Oh! It's you two old devils! You're still alive?"

The Xu family patriarch's words silenced the two of them.

Older people usually say these things as a joke, but Old Master Xu's tone showed no sign of joking.

Xu Mingyu knew her ancestor's temper, so she stepped forward and said:

"Ancestor, why have you been disturbed? Why don't you go and rest? We juniors can handle things here."

He didn't want his ancestor to get involved, lest he offend Li Mu.

Currently, there is still room for reconciliation with Li Mu, but once the ancestor speaks up, things will inevitably escalate into a major conflict.

To his surprise, the Xu family patriarch ignored him and gave him a sharp rap on the head.

"Smack!"

"You little bastard! Can't I even exercise a little in my own home? Do you have to come out and meddle?"

"Hey, you handle this? What are you going to handle? You're humbling yourself here for a few spots."

"I'd like to see who dares to disrespect my Treasure Pavilion, thinking that my thousand martial artists are just for show."

The Xu family patriarch scolded Xu Mingyu like an adult disciplining a child, calling her a grandson.

After finishing his tirade, he glared at Li Mu with sharp, hawk-like eyes.

It seemed as if they wanted to stare Li Mu down with their eyes.

Li Mu looked at the threatening eyes, too lazy to pay attention, and simply lifted his double eyelids upwards.

He gave the Xu family patriarch a big eye roll.

He finally understood where Xu Mingxuan's shrewdness and mercenary nature came from.

It's a family heirloom.

.

Xu Fang, the patriarch of the Xu family, was furious when he saw that the young man in front of him ignored him.

"Hey kid, I'm talking to you. Tell me, my Treasure Pavilion originally had thirty teleportation slots, why are there only ten left?"

If you can't give a clear answer, don't blame me for losing my temper!

Li Mu was speechless at the fact that the Xu family patriarch, who had not yet achieved Foundation Establishment and was about to die of old age.

I thought to myself, "You might as well just wait to die, but you're so old and still have such a temper. Do you want to die even faster?"

"I didn't say that the Treasure Pavilion had ten spots..."

Before Li Mu could finish speaking, the Xu family patriarch interrupted:

"That's more like it. I knew it. My Treasure Pavilion should have exactly the number of spots it needs to have."

"Bring me that teleportation jade token. We don't need the remaining spots."

The words of the Xu family patriarch once again shocked Li Mu, who opened his mouth wide.

That old man is so arrogant! It's one thing to interrupt, but he even tried to force his way into the teleportation token.

Seeing the hand that the Xu family patriarch was extending, Li Mu was almost at his wit's end.

"No, who are you?!"

Li Mu rolled his eyes and asked directly.

I wanted to talk to him nicely, but he was so arrogant. "Do you think I, Li Mu, will tolerate your behavior?"

When the Xu family patriarch heard Li Mu's question, he was stunned for a moment.

Where did this brat come from, daring to speak to me like that?

"Boy, you have some nerve. It's been years since I've encountered such a troublemaker. Let this old man test your mettle."

After Xu Laozu finished speaking, he directly reached out his hand to grab Li Mu.

He could certainly sense Li Mu's powerful aura, but no matter how strong he was, could he be stronger than his ancestor?

.

"Whoosh!"

A bright white light flashed and disappeared in the conference room.

Then, something fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a spray of blood appeared.

"Ancestor!"

Xu Mingxuan, who had just regained his senses, was shocked to see the ancestor's arm fall to the ground.

The main reason was that Li Mu's sword strike was too fast; the white light was like a phantom, causing everyone present to lose their focus.

Xu Mingxuan's loud shout brought everyone back to reality.

"Ah! You, I'm going to kill you..."

The conscious Old Master Xu felt the pain at the severed arm and flew into a rage.

Just as he was about to make another move, a sword was pressed against his throat, forcing him to swallow his words.

The conference room fell into a deathly silence, with only the sound of everyone breathing.

"I'm trying to talk to you nicely, but you're acting like I'm easy to talk to because you're old and powerful."

A dying man who hasn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage has quite a temper.

Now summon all the thousand warriors of your Treasure Pavilion, and see if I, Li Mu, can kill them.

Are you still not convinced? Do you still want to kill me? Die!

Li Mu suddenly exerted force with the wooden fang in his hand, and the tip of the sword was already pushed into Old Ancestor Xu's throat.

In the conference room, everyone held their breath.

I had long heard of Li Mu, who was decisive in killing and highly skilled, but I never imagined he was this skilled.

Old Master Xu didn't even have to make a single move before he was about to die by his sword.

This is a true display of overwhelming strength.

Upon seeing the ancestor who was about to die, Xu Mingyu immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Fellow Daoist Li, please stop."

Li Mu did not stop; the tip of his sword was about to pierce Old Ancestor Xu's throat.

A slightly disheveled figure stumbled into the conference room.

"Brother Li, please show mercy."
