Chapter 4

Name:Emperor of the North Author:Hei Pao
Looking at the fine iron Carved Feather arrow on the ground, Li Mu's pupils contracted, and he found that there were two big characters engraved on the arrow - Shadow kill.

"Friends of yingsha sect, please show up. I Li Mu thought I hadn't offended you. Why did you assassinate me?"

Li Mu's eyes were like electricity, staring at the jungle in the distance and shouting.

Yingshamen, a huge assassination organization, is entrenched in twilight Cloud City and several surrounding cities. It is said that there are experts in the innate realm.

Yingshamen specially receives assassination missions on weekdays. No matter the identity and family of the other party, they claim that as long as they can afford money, they can't kill anyone.

Although Li Mu has never been far away, he has heard of some forces in twilight Cloud City, so he knows the identity of the visitor when he sees the engraved eagle feather arrow.

"Hahaha, he is worthy of being a genius of the Li family. At a young age, he even knows the existence of my shadow killing door."

In the face of Li Mu's shouting, five figures came out of the jungle in the distance, all wearing black clothes and black cloth masks, all holding swords and crossbows.

"Gentlemen, where have I offended you?" Feeling the otherness of the other party, Li Mu felt a little heavy. Although he couldn't use his vitality, his unique perception of the acquired realm had no impact at all. Among the five people of the other party, there were three solid people, one in the early days of the day after tomorrow and one in the middle of the day after tomorrow.

"Our shadow killing door has always been to collect money to help others eliminate disasters. Boy, you didn't offend our shadow killing door. You offended our employer. We can't blame someone who paid 50000 liang of silver for your life!"

Five disciples of yingsha sect surrounded Li Mu. Among them, the person who was obviously the leader smiled coldly. This person was the highest cultivation among these people, and had enough cultivation in the middle of the day after tomorrow.

"Fifty thousand liang of silver. It's a big deal. I'm a useless man who's dying soon. I'm still worth so much money. Five friends, for the sake of dying, can you let me know who wants my life again and again?"

"Boy, you can't probe me. Among the many rules of our shadow killing door, disclosing the employer's information is the first taboo. Anyway, it's a death, you'd better go with peace of mind! I can tell you before I die, my code name is shadow 49"

With a wave of his hand, the man headed by yingshamen saw that all the people of yingshamen opened their bows and arrows and aimed at Li Mu.

Li Mu subconsciously retreated, but now he was at the top of the sunset peak, and not far behind was the wanzhang cliff, which had already retreated.

"I admit it in your hands today, but I'm very curious. Although many people know that I'm poisoned and can't use my strength, it's impossible for outsiders to know about my leaving the Li family, except for a limited number of people in my Li family. How did you know!"

"Anyway, you are also a dying man. I'll tell you one thing. You guessed it right. The behind the scenes instigator is indeed related to your Li family, but as for who it is, you'd better ask the king of hell!!!"

After Ying 49 finished speaking, the broadsword in his hand lit up a yellow light, which was one of the symbols of vitality injected into the weapon. The yellow light of the broadsword flashed, turned into a knife shadow, and cleaved at Li Mu.

"When!!" With a crisp sound, Li Mu gathered all his strength and waved his sword to meet him, but he couldn't use his vitality. How could he be Ying 49's opponent relying on brute force alone? Under the knife of the other party, the whole person retreated a few steps. As soon as he looked back, he found that he had retreated and could not retreat, and there was a ten thousand foot cliff behind him.

"Can't you let me go? I'll repay you when I return to the Li family someday!" Looking at the wanzhang cliff behind him and the five people who killed the door in the shadow, Li Mu clenched his fists and was still a little unwilling.

"Let you go back and we can live? Take your life!" With that, Ying 49 took down the long bow he was carrying. He opened the bow and took the arrow. At the same time, a vitality was injected into the fine iron Carved Feather arrow in his hand.

With the injection of shadow 49 vitality, the arrow lit up a light yellow glow, and a destructive breath emanated from the refined iron eagle feather arrow.

Feeling the terror of the other party's arrows, Li Mu looked at the five of the other party bitterly. Before the other party launched an attack, he resolutely turned around and jumped off the wanzhang cliff behind him.

In front of him was thick white fog, and beside his ears was the rapid wind. Li Mu felt the feeling of floating in the air for the first time. Even if it was the death knell ringing, he still felt very wonderful.

Recalling the bits and pieces of his life, a lot of past events are vividly remembered. A personal figure flashed in his brain. Finally, Li Mu felt that he was tired and lived too tired. Even if there were many regrets, such as the news of his mother, the Li family who poisoned himself and asked people to kill him, the peak of martial arts he yearned for when he was ignorant, it is a pity that all these will eventually come to naught with today's past.

The wind was still rushing around his ears. Just as Li Mu was preparing to die, an invisible force suddenly rushed from one side. This force seemed to be a violent airflow. Under its action, Li Mu only felt a whirl, and then seemed to hit something.

Li Mu was dizzy and had severe pain in his head. He didn't have time to open his eyes and look around. He fainted as soon as his eyes were dark.

On the sunset peak, Ying 49 and five people looked at each other, and Li Mu jumped off the cliff, which was somewhat unexpected to them.

"Boss, the boy jumped down like this. I'm afraid it's hard for the employer to explain when I get back."

A shadow killing sect disciple said with some concern.

"We can't stop him from jumping off the cliff. The sunset cliff is deep and bottomless. Not to mention that he is a boy in the early days of the day after tomorrow. He is a strong man in the innate realm. He can't survive if he falls down. He can say what he should say when he goes back. I don't believe that the other party will kill me for this!" Shadow 49 Yin measured smiled, and then left here with the other four heads without returning.

I don't know how long it took. Li Mu vaguely opened his eyes. The moment he regained consciousness, his first feeling was pain, especially in his head. He gnashed his teeth. After recovering half a cup of tea, the pain slowly subsided.

Li Mu didn't know why he hadn't died yet. After thinking carefully, he only remembered that before he was unconscious, he seemed to have been swept by an inexplicable airflow, and finally hit something and fainted. Besides, he had no impression.

With a few wisps of light coming from the hole not far away, Li Mu quickly saw his environment at the moment. This is a cave, which is not wide, only threeorfour meters, but it is very long, extending in all directions and can't see the end.

"What place is this? It shouldn't be the bottom of sunset peak!"

Li Mu slowly stood up. At the moment, he was a little embarrassed. His clothes were torn, his blood was mottled, and many places were scratched, but fortunately, these were minor injuries that did not hurt his muscles and bones.

After walking around, Li Mu didn't find anything big. This cave is very ordinary. Except for a few passages in front of him, I don't know where it leads, there is nothing strange.

Finally, Li Mu came to the hole where the light came in. Generally speaking, the place with light must be the exit.

"Shit!!!" When he came to the cave, Chuan Ye couldn't help scolding. The cave was actually opened on the edge of the cliff. If he hadn't been careful and didn't step out with one foot, he might have fallen down the cliff now.

"Is... Is this cave on the cliff of sunset peak?"

"Yes! It must be so, and only in this way can it be explained. Why did I fall off the cliff but not die? It should be that I was caught by some air flow in the middle of the fall and was involved in the cliff cave!"

Together, Li Mu guessed the cause and effect of the matter. While feeling that he survived, he was more depressed because he didn't know how to leave here.

"I don't know how high it is from the ground. Unless I have wings, I can never leave here!"

Li Mu didn't know whether he was lucky or sad. At the moment, he was in a dilemma.

"I can't expect to go out from this entrance, but I don't know if there are other exits. Anyway, being idle is also idle. It's better to explore it first!" Li Mu thought about it and walked into a channel at the other end of the cave.

The cave channel extends in all directions. I don't know whether it is artificially dug or naturally formed. As it goes deeper and deeper, Li Mu's face becomes ugly.

This cave actually seems to have no end. It's not how far the passage is, but the passage extends in all directions. There are many forked intersections, just like a small labyrinth. Rao Shimu's memory is amazing. He also lost his way in the dim light and had to stop.

"This cave must have been artificially dug, no doubt, otherwise it can't be so difficult to walk!" Li Mu whispered to himself. He was hesitating about how to get out of the trapped situation. Suddenly, his expression moved, and his face became suspicious.

"The fifteenth time! There are rules to follow." Li Mu muttered to himself. The reason why he said this is because he has felt a hot wind coming out from the depths of the channel every once in a while since he entered the channel.

This hot wind is not strong, and normal people can't even feel it. At first, Li Mu didn't pay too much attention, but many times, Li Mu clearly sensed it through his keen spiritual awareness.

"It's reasonable to say that the windy place should also be the exit. Since there are rules to find, you might as well take this as a clue to go on!"

After measuring for a moment, Li Musi made up his mind and explored in the direction of the hot wind.

In this way, Li Mu determined the direction by the hot wind coming from every other period of time and walked for less than half an hour.

"How can it be so hot? Is it difficult that the origin of this hot wind is a fire pulse?" Li Mu wiped the sweat on his face and looked at the channel that still couldn't see the end with a look of surprise and doubt.

As Li Mu went deeper and deeper, he found that the temperature in the channel became higher and higher. It seemed that he was approaching a big stove. If it weren't for his physical body's relatively strong training in the solid state, it was still unclear whether he could persist at this moment.

After walking hundreds of meters forward, the terrifying heat filled the whole channel, and the bean sized sweat on Li Mu's face continued to drip.

Li Mu felt as if he were in a stove, allowing his body to break through the solid ten, which was unbearable under this terrible temperature.

"What place is this? How can it be so hot? Is it because there is a volcanic hinterland ahead? But I haven't heard that sunset peak is a volcano!"

Wiping the sweat on his forehead, Li Mu gasped. He even suspected that he might dehydrate and die before he reached his destination.

"Huh? Light! Is it an exit!" Just when Li Mu decided whether to go on, a bright red light suddenly appeared in front of him.
