"Palace Master, it seems like someone is being chased ahead." Kunpeng said.

"I am not blind." Li Mu said unhappily.

In just a short while, the monk being hunted had already arrived beside Li Mu and the others.

This was a cultivator dressed like a scholar, in the middle stage of Heavenly Dao Divine Ancestor. His body was covered with horrific wounds and he looked extremely miserable.

"Two seniors, I am Feng Huaiping, the lord of Kuishan City. I encountered pirates on the road. If you can rescue me, I will reward you handsomely!" The scholar-like monk said to Li Mu and the others.

As soon as he finished speaking, two cultivators, a man and a woman, who were chasing after him, also caught up. Seeing Feng Huaiping standing next to Li Mu and Kunpeng, the two cultivators frowned. The male cultivator said to Li Mu and Kunpeng in a deep voice, "It's better for you two not to interfere in Jiusha's business."

At this time, Li Mu and Kunpeng had already hidden their true cultivation level. On the surface, they looked to be in the late stage of Heavenly Dao Divine Ancestor. The two from the Nine Evils, the female was in the late stage of Heavenly Dao Divine Ancestor, and the male was at the peak of Heavenly Dao Divine Ancestor, so they did not care much about Li Mu and the other one.

Li Mu gave Kunpeng an inquiring look, and Kunpeng shook his head.

"I've never heard of the Nine Evils and Seven Evils." Li Mu said calmly, "I didn't want to get involved in your business, but you almost hurt us just now. You must give an explanation for this."

"Boy, are you looking for trouble on purpose? Where are you injured? Get out of here right now, or I'll deal with you too!" the man shouted, but the other female monk just shook her head slightly at him.

Then he clasped his fists and said to Li Mu: "Please forgive me, we are just settling a personal grudge and have no intention of targeting you two."

"Senior, they are pirates. They are capable of murder and arson. How can we reason with them?" Feng Huaiping was a little agitated.

"Shut up! How dare you question our Palace Master?" Kunpeng shouted.

"Oh~? Then why did your attacks repeatedly pass by the two of us who were on the road? Could this also be a misunderstanding?" Li Mu said.

"Are you done yet, kid? My third sister has already told you that we didn't mean it, but you still want to hold on to it, right?" the man said impatiently.

The woman smiled bitterly and said to Li Mu and the others, "Don't mind me, my second brother is a bit impatient." After a pause, the woman continued, "We were chasing after him, and each time we attacked, our target was only Feng Huaiping. As for why we passed by you two several times, I don't know. Maybe it was just an accident? Or...?"

Having said this, the woman looked at Feng Huaiping.

Feng Huaiping was immediately furious: "Witch, stop talking nonsense here." After that, he looked at Li Mu and said, "Senior, Jiusha is a pirate that has risen in this area in recent years. They have robbed many cities and now have caused public outrage! Even Yong'an Prefecture has issued a bounty order for them. If you catch one of them, you will be rewarded with 500 million Chaos Stones. If the two seniors can make a move, I am willing to personally pay another 500 million as a reward for the seniors!"

"Haha, what a big deal." Li Mu smiled faintly. If it was before he emptied Heifeng's family assets, Li Mu might really be tempted by these 1.5 billion Chaos Stones, but now he has more than 12 billion in his hands, how could he be tempted by these 1.5 billion Chaos Stones?

"To restore peace to Yong'an Prefecture, this little money is nothing!" Feng Huaiping said sternly.

The man in the Nine Evils was about to say something, but Li Mu spoke first, saying in a deep voice: "Feng Huaiping, you knew that someone was chasing you, why did you divert the trouble to us?"

"Senior, I... I didn't do that. I am wronged!" Feng Huaiping's face changed drastically.

"Unfair? Do you think we two can beat them? What is your intention in instigating us to attack them with rewards?" Li Mu said coldly.

"Haha~ Second sister, this kid is not stupid!" The Nine Evils man laughed.

"Senior, listen to me..." Feng Huaiping was halfway through his words when he suddenly took advantage of everyone's inattention and escaped again. In just a moment, he disappeared from everyone's sight and escaped a million light years away.

"Hey! You bastard, where are you running to!" The Jiusha man was furious. He glared at Li Mu and the other man, and then hurriedly chased after them.

The woman bowed to Li Mu and the other man, then hurriedly followed them.

"This...what is this? Palace Master, what should we do? Should we stop that city lord and beat him up or continue on our way?" Kunpeng said a little depressed.

"Let's follow and see." Li Mu said.

After hearing this, Kunpeng followed the few people without any haste.

After all, the strength of Jiusha's two men is stronger than Feng Huaiping. Although Feng Huaiping tried his best, he was still blocked by Jiusha's men after half an hour. However, Li Mu and Kunpeng did not show up. The two concealed their breath and observed from a distance.

"City Lord Feng, run again. Aren't you a very fast runner?" the Nine Evils man said jokingly.

"Feng Huaiping, we Jiusha are not unreasonable people. Someone found us and said that you robbed them of about 600 million Chaos Ores and captured many of them to mine in your mine. They asked us to take charge of them. Now you just need to give us 6 billion and release the captured people. Then the matter will be even and we will let you go." said the woman.

"Bah! You pirates, robbery is robbery, why do you have to make it sound so righteous?" Feng Huaiping cursed.

"Pa~" The Nine Evils man slapped Feng Huaiping on the face and said coldly: "I gave you face, right? We robbed you, what can you do? You said we were robbing, then what about your behavior?"

"That's what I deserve. That group of independent cultivators were mining near my Kuishan City. Can't I collect some taxes from them?" Feng Huaiping said.
