Chapter 342: Chapter 311: Interception_1

The moment the Misty Birds were stunned by the thunder and lightning, Xu Mu immediately threw out a white magic artifact net. It was made out of the silk thread of Monster Beast spiders, sturdy and light, and it scooped up all the Misty Birds at once.

Originally, he did not want to resort to such means, but given that these two birds kept being obstinate, he had to teach them a lesson somehow.

“Chirp! Chirp!”

As they were captured by the large net, the Misty Birds started to regain consciousness one by one.

The first to regain consciousness were naturally the two mutated Misty Birds, which Xu Mu promptly caught and put into his storage bag, followed by a few tier three Misty Birds. As for those of tier one and tier two, Xu Mu released them all.

For him, the tier one and tier two birds were of no use.

Xu Mu’s operation rendered everyone dumbfounded.

“How did he do it?”

They had also thought of using skills to capture the Misty Birds, but these birds were extremely fast. The skills of those in the Qi Cultivation Stage rarely hit their target. If high tier talismans or magic treasures were used instead, they could potentially be sensed early by the birds. Even if they hit the bird by chance, the bird might be injured and be rendered useless.

After years of trials, they had finally established the current capture pattern.

The approach adopted by Xu Mu just now completely shattered their long-held beliefs.

Could skills indeed be used?

Someone tried using a Thundering element skill but as soon as they initiated it, all the Misty Birds flew away, and no other birds would venture close to that area afterwards. The cultivator was left in tears. After that, no one dared to imitate Xu Mu’s actions anymore.

What they didn’t know was that Xu Mu’s successful attempt was due to the combination of his Thundering cultivation tradition, his formation skills, and the special trait of his clone. All of these factors made him appear to be at ease while doing so.

Even if he were to share his method with others, they would not be able to learn it.

But no one knew that. They just saw him capture a large amount of Misty Birds with ease.

Therefore, some people started to have ideas. If they could get hold of Xu Mu’s method, then capturing the Misty Birds would undoubtedly become much easier.

Coupled with the pill in Xu Mu’s hand, they could kill two birds with one stone. This prospect was very attractive.

“Family Head, that person, he has returned…”

“Gang Leader…”

“Tower Master…”

One message after another began to spread, and the high-tier cultivators waiting outside started moving into action.

At that moment, Xu Mu was rushing back to his original location. Since he had already captured the mutated Misty Birds, there was no need for him to stick around. As soon as he reunited with his original body, he planned to head straight to the Misty Sea.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by someone before he could merge with his original body.

Three Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators!

“You dare to kill people of our Beihan Immortal Palace, you are quite bold! We’ll give you a chance to surrender. It will make your death more comfortable!” said the leading Foundation Establishment cultivator coldly.

The other two cultivators stood there with arrogance all over their faces, as if offering Xu Mu a comfortable death was their act of generosity.

Taking into consideration the reputation of the Beihan Immortal Palace in the Northern Domain and looking at the clone in front of them, it’s not hard to understand their attitude.

“Get lost!”

Xu Mu calmly looked at them as he coldly uttered these words.

“…”

Everyone thought they had heard it wrong. You, being at Qi Cultivation Stage, dare to speak like this to us, who are at the Foundation Establishment Stage. Are you insane?

“Senior Brother, why waste words on him? Let’s capture him first!”

“Indeed!”

The three of them attacked Xu Mu with anger. Some released flying swords, some performed skills, and some even used Secret Mental Secret Skills.

They all held back their attacks, clearly wanting to catch him alive.

“Seeking death!”

Xu Mu’s expression remained unchanged as he took out three jade talismans and threw them out. Three purple thunderbolts immediately appeared in the void, striking the three of them, turning their bodies black and causing them to fall from the sky.

Xu Mu took out a rope-like magic artifact from his pocket, wrapped up the three of them, and casually looted everything valuable from them.

Things that came to his doorstep, there was no reason to decline. Moreover, even though the three jade talismans were casually made by him, they were still valuable items. He had to recover some cost, right?

“Paupers!”

Although the three Foundation Establishment cultivators had many items on them, none had caught Xu Mu’s fancy.

After turning the three of them into ashes, Xu Mu continued toward his destination.

Unexpectedly, he had not flown far before running into several more Foundation Establishment Stage robbers. They were not from the Beihan Immortal Palace, but a large clan. Xu Mu, being left with no choice, had to obliterate them with the same method again.

To avoid unexpected occurrences, the clone decided to stay put and let the original body come to him.

On the other side, as soon as his original body was about to set off, several cultivators tried to stop him.

“My friend, to avoid startling the Misty Birds, cultivators above the Foundation Establishment Stage cannot approach!”

“Oh? Is it that everyone cannot approach, or is it just old me who cannot?” Xu Mu asked indifferently.

“Naturally, everyone can’t approach!” The cultivator blocking the road said firmly.

“Fellow cultivator, would you dare to swear with a Heart Demon Oath on those words?”

“…”

The cultivator blocking the road was taken aback.

They were only blocking ordinary Loose Cultivators. Those from big powers were kind of allowed to enter as long as they did not get too close. In this way, they could have a lot of advantages.

This was something everyone tacitly agreed on. This fellow was clearly trying to make it hard for them to back down.

“These are rules set by the Beihan Immortal Palace in coalition with other major powers. If you insist on going over there, you’d be showing disrespect to the Beihan Immortal Palace!” The blocking cultivator skillfully avoided the topic and brought up the Beihan Immortal Palace instead.

“I’m not a disciple of the Beihan Immortal Palace. Why should I put it in my eyes? Get out of my way!”

The clone had informed him that more powerful cultivators were approaching. Xu Mu had no patience for their nonsense anymore.

“Audacious! You…”

The cultivator blocking the road became infuriated. Just as he was about to make a move and teach Xu Mu a lesson, Xu Mu acted first. His body emitted a purple aura, and he broke through in an instant. The two cultivators who were in front of him were thrown apart.

“Audacious!”

The Golden Pill-stage cultivator, who was in charge of maintaining order in this place, was shocked. Along with the shock, he was also furious.

Regardless of a person’s cultivation level, if he dares to act recklessly on the grounds of the Beihan Immortal Palace, he must die.

“Everyone, come forward with me and stop him!”

Under the lead of the Golden Pill Perfection-stage cultivator, several Golden Pill-stage cultivators transformed into Escape Lights and began pursuing Xu Mu.

The cultivators at the site were astounded. In so many years of capturing Misty Birds, there had never been such an occurrence.

All of the cultivators present were at least of the Foundation Establishment Stage. Many were brave and brilliant. After hesitating for a moment, they immediately chased after them.

Seeing others taking the lead, the rest of the crowd also followed. When everyone does it, there is no one to blame. They all wanted to go and watch the fun.

The remaining cultivators from the Beihan Immortal Palace could not stop them anymore and had to follow.

On the other side, a Golden Pill cultivator from the Beihan Immortal Palace was closely following the clone. The clone used the method the original body had left him, in order to form Escape Light for a moment.

However, the clone’s strength was too weak, and it could not fully manifest, so it was quickly overtaken.

The Golden Pill cultivator conjured a sword made of mysterious ice with one strike. He hit Xu Mu’s clone out of the Escape Light and heavily slammed him into the mud. His protective aura was half broken.

“You dare to kill our people of the Beihan Immortal Palace. Today, I will make you wish you were dead!”
