The days that followed were quite peaceful. During this period, several waves of cultivators came to visit Li Mu, but they all wanted to curry favor with Li Mu. After all, many people saw Li Mu's performance on the day he first came to Black Wind City, and even Chaos Trading Company was on good terms with Li Mu. Moreover, Li Mu's strength was not bad, so they naturally wanted to have a good relationship with Li Mu.
Li Mu just made a few attempts to test these people and then gave up the idea of recruiting them to join. It was too difficult and there was no need to take the risk at this time. He would look for an opportunity later.
So he just said a few perfunctory words to the other party and sent him away.
Time flies and one month has passed.
That day, Li Mu called Kunpeng, and under the leadership of Qingyao, they went straight to Pier 117.
As soon as they arrived at the dock, a team of Black Wind Guards stopped Li Mu and his companions and said, "This is a restricted area of the dock. Please stop."
Li Mu did not want to cause any trouble, so he jumped back and retreated beyond the cordon, waiting quietly for the miner to come out.
After a long time, a Black Wind Guard wrapped in black cloth took advantage of the fact that other companions were not paying attention and pretended to walk past Li Mu inadvertently. At the moment he passed by Li Mu, he handed a note to Li Mu.
Li Mu was suspicious and opened the note. Inside was a text engraved using his spiritual sense, which read: No. 1237, Ninth Street.
As soon as Li Mu saw the content clearly, the words disappeared.
“Palace Master, what is this…?” Kunpeng and the other two were puzzled. They did not see the contents clearly.
"Let's go." Li Mu said and left without hesitation.
Kunpeng and Qingyao looked at each other and quickly followed.
After the group left the dock and entered the streets of the city, Li Mu said to Qingyao, "Take me to Ninth Street, No. 1237."
Qingyao was stunned, but under Li Mu's urging, she reluctantly flew over to lead the way for Li Mu.
After bypassing the mining area and passing through most of Black Wind City, Li Mu finally arrived at the ninth block. This place was completely different from the brand new city area where Li Mu and his companions had stayed before. This was a dilapidated old street that seemed to have been abandoned long ago. There was no one on the street and the buildings on both sides were dilapidated.
Soon, the three of them found the location of Building 1237, a very ordinary square building, as dilapidated as the other buildings.
"Palace Master, do we really want to go in?" Qingyao's face turned pale. She felt uncomfortable every moment here.
"Or, let's just forget it?" Influenced by Qingyao, Kunpeng couldn't help but become a little nervous.
She had asked Li Mu this question several times on the way. According to her, this was the old city of Black Wind City, the remains of the previous power. At that time, Black Wind City was not called "Black Wind City", and the city lord was not the Black Wind Emperor. Legend has it that this place is extremely ominous, and it is the place where the old city lord fell. It is tainted with great karma. Even the Black Wind Emperor is quite afraid and dares not to completely destroy this place. Naturally, there are no Black Wind Guards stationed here.
Li Mu smiled bitterly, ignored Qingyao and the others, and directly pushed open the door.
The moment Li Mu pushed open the door, a cloud of black mist rushed out from inside.
"Ah~ Palace Master, be careful!" Qingyao screamed.
“Hey~, where did this monster come from? How dare you be so presumptuous in front of our palace master!” Kunpeng shouted, and at the same time transformed into his original form, flapped his wings and dispersed the black mist.
Li Mu's face was strange. Wasn't it that the chaotic energy that had been gathered in the house for many years and had been affected by his opening the door rushed out? Was it necessary to make such a big fuss?
Kunpeng also realized this the moment he dispersed the black mist. He angrily restored his human form and said to Qingyao with some complaints, "Xiaoqing, please don't be so startled, okay?"
"Yes... I'm sorry, Palace Master and Deputy Palace Master, I didn't mean it." Qingyao's face flushed, and she said with some shock.
Li Mu did not continue to dwell on this matter. He gave Kunpeng a look, indicating that he should lead the way.
In order to save his face, Kunpeng walked in without saying a word, holding his head high and chest out.
After a while, Kunpeng's voice came from inside: "Palace Master, there is nothing in there, it's safe!"
Hearing what Kunpeng said, Li Mu did not hesitate any longer and walked straight in. Qingyao naturally followed him quickly, as she did not want to stay here alone.
After entering, Li Mu discovered that this was a place similar to an auditorium, filled with rows of seats. In front of the seats was a podium, but it was already dilapidated.
But where is the miner? Just as they were wondering, the door was suddenly closed by an inexplicable force. Then, a noisy sound rang out in the auditorium, and figures appeared on the seats. These figures were discussing something with each other. On the podium, a middle-aged man in armor was giving a speech with indignation on his face.
As for what they said, Li Mu didn't hear a word clearly.
"Palace Master, what the hell is this thing?" Kunpeng frowned, but he was not too panicked this time. After all, he had lived for millions of years and had seen all kinds of storms.
"It's the heroic general, the former lord of Black Wind City!" Qingyao was shocked.
"Oh~? Are you sure?" Li Mu turned and looked at Qingyao.
Qingyao shook her head: "I... this is just my guess. It is said that the Great Sage Yingwu believes in building a city with an army, calling himself a great general, and always wearing armor!"
"Palace Master, that man...that general seems to be looking at us!" Kunpeng shouted.
Li Mu looked carefully upon hearing this and saw that the man on the podium who looked like a heroic general had stopped his speech and was staring at the direction of him and the others.
At this moment, Li Mu felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, and even the hairs on his body stood up. When Li Mu was still hesitating whether to open the Lingxiao Universe to escape, the suffocating gaze was retracted, and the man started his passionate speech again, as if nothing had happened just now.
"Palace Master, did you feel it just now?" Kunpeng let out a long breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked Li Mu.
Qingyao was shaking all over, obviously very frightened.
"Congratulations to the three of you for gaining the recognition of the general!" Just then, the door was opened and an old man standing at the door said to Li Mu and others.
And when the door opened, those figures gradually disappeared.
"Who are you?" Li Mu asked in a deep voice.
"As for me, haha, I'm just a miner. Didn't we agree to meet today?" The old man smiled faintly.
"I'm asking about your true identity and what is your relationship with that person just now?" Li Mu said coldly.
