Hide in the Banished Palace and Level Up To A Big Boss-Chapter 49 - Zhao Seven Escaped

“Sweet words. I wonder if you are really willing to do that? Giving all your power, luckiness, and even the chance to survive to one of your fellows in Xuan Sect and let him become a real master?”

“Yes… I… I am!”

Some reluctance flashed through Zhao Wu’s eyes.

Sacrificing everything he had to for the success of someone else? He couldn’t do that!

The reason he chose to sacrifice himself today was that he knew he couldn’t escape today.

So that he had better give up so that his brother could survive.

“Hypocrite! If you are willing, why could I see the reluctance in your eyes?”

“I…”

With the breeze, the fallen leaves rose and flew between the two of them.

Li Mu flickered one of the leaves with his fingers.

The leaf quickly flew across the mountain top like a meteor and then went straight into Zhao Wu’s forehead.

Then Zhao Wu’s body went off the cliff.

“Rubbish! What a pity! Such a talent finally chose to live like a rat!

Gross!”

Li Mu grabbed Liu Rui again.

Liu Rui hurriedly said, “Sir, can you slow down, I can’t stand it anymore.”

“Fine!”

Li Mu sighed. He injected some true qi into Liu Rui’s body and carried Liu Rui away.

Li Mu still couldn’t let Zhao Seven escape since he was so important.

“Sir, are you going to kill Zhao Seven?”

Li Mu’s true qi circulated in Liu Rui’s body and she felt much better.

But she still didn’t see what Li Mu looked like.

There seemed to be a veil on his face.

“Yes!”

Liu Rui asked, “Can you leave Zhao Seven to me?”

“You? You are not only less talented than him but also worse than him in terms of Cultivation Achievement. If we let him live for one more day, it is hard to tell how many more innocent people would die.”

“Then… Okay!” Liu Rui said with her head lowered.

Inside a grotto of Mount Mang.

Zhao Seven kept a low profile and took a jade pendant from his pocket.

It was horrible!

It spent so many years for him to build the Black Dragon Gang but it was destroyed in half a day.

He took deep breaths several times to calm himself down.

Then he bit his finger and dripped his blood on the jade pendant.

Uttering a spell in silence, he said, “Master, I am being chased…”

After three breaths of time, the jade pendant cracked.

The space around Zhao Seven distorted and he disappeared.

After a while, Li Mu appeared with Liu Rui in this place.

“Strange! There is a trace that he left. How come he disappeared?”

After searching around for a while, Li Mu still couldn’t find Zhao Seven.

He had no choice but to take Liu Rui and leave first.

There was no way that he would let this black sheep go if he had any chance.

He brought Liu Rui to the main road outside and left her in a town. Then he returned to Shouning Palace.

After Concubine Jing left, Li Mu was too lazy to clean up the palace.

There were many fallen leaves on the ground and green moss appearing at the corners of the steps.

It still looked elegant.

In the next two months, Li Mu did not hear any news about the Black Dragon Gang.

After Liu Rui left the town, she immediately contacted the army and launched a thorough siege on the Black Dragon Gang.

No one knew the Black Dragon Gang better than she did.

When the emperor learned the secret plan of Zhao Seven and the Black Dragon Gang, he remained silent for a long time.

He didn’t expect that Black Dragon Gang would be built by Zhao Seven.

He underestimated his people.

Then he checked his side and found none of his descendants was a match for Zhao Seven. Not even himself!

The emperor could only sigh. He was depressed and grew much older.

He felt he was really old this time.

The treasures collected by the Black Dragon Gang in the White Dragon Creek were taken back by Liu Rui.

Two years later, Liu An was recalled from the front line.

The emperor died and Liu An inherited the throne.

Everything went smoothly and no accidents happened.

Even if some of the princes were not satisfied with it, they were too much inferior to Liu An in terms of prestige and Cultivation Achievement.

What could they do if they were dissatisfied?

Rebel?

They would be defeated by Liu An’s followers as soon as they made a move.

Liu Rui became a nun.

An Mu turned a front-line supervisor first, then a border general.

No one expected that a junior eunuch a long time ago would achieve something like this today.

In the palace, many young eunuchs took An Mu as a goal to strive for.

The days passed one after another.

Li Mu still signed in at the underground palace and Luoshen River.

After Xuan Sect was destroyed, the sign-in rewards were basically useless.

Li Mu also gave up going to Xuan Sect.

Liu An and Liu Rui both appeared in Shouning Palace from time to time to read the books from themselves. If Li Mu happened to be in, they would talk to Li Mu for a while.

At this time, Li Mu would reply with many “yes”.

Li Mu also looked around for the members of the Black Dragon Gang in secret.

Many hidden members of the Black Dragon Gang were killed by him.

Another two years passed.

Baiyun Temple issued a notice to the whole country that it would accept all kinds of disciples and teach them the secret cultivation methods of the royal family.

The whole Xia was shaken by the news.

Those secret cultivation methods were all kept by the noble clans, including those books of literature and philosophy.

Ordinary people couldn’t have the chance to have a look at all.

In some clans, the children born by concubines couldn’t get equal chances to take a look at these things like the children born by wives.

At this time, Baiyun Temple was willing to take ordinary people as disciples and teach them cultivation methods!

Ordinary people in the State of Great Xia ordinary people all cried with joy.

But the noble clans were terrified.

Did the royal clan want to be the gravediggers of themselves or the noble clans?

The abbot of Baiyun was Liu Rui, who was once Princess Royal.

The key figure in destroying the Black Dragon Gang.

There were several old nuns and a few eunuchs in the temple.

The old nuns were all learned and talented concubines of the deceased emperor.

For the world, it was enough to know about Liu Rui.

Wherever the sound of her zither passed, members of the Black Dragon Gang fell one after another.

Liu An sent the secret cultivation methods of the Zhao Clan and other destroyed clans to Baiyun temple along with the ones stored in Shouning Palace

Experts in the palace had studied these methods thoroughly.

The world gradually stepped into peace.

Eunuch Rain, the last one with a Spirit Manipulation Realm of Supreme Level also passed away.

Luckily, at this time in the State of Great Xia, no one dared to offend the emperor.

As for the power outside the State of Great Xia, they seemed to be held back by something.

Twenty thousand miles away from Mount Mang.

Kangrou City on the upper reaches of Luoshen River.

It belongs to another country of Nanzhou, the State of Qi.

In a ruined manor in the northeast corner of the city, it overgrew with weeds and was dilapidated.

Nobody lived around this abandoned yard for many years.

Because rumored had it that there was a ghost in this place.

Once many people lived here and the whole family became mummies within a few days.

The beggars would choose to live here temporarily if they happened to pass here and had no other places to go.

And they all disappeared the next day.

With such news spreading, this house was said to be a haunted one in Kangrou City.

It was daytime and nobody dared to come close to the manor.

Under an acacia tree in the garden, there was a youth half sitting on a huge green stone.

After a closer look, it turned out that the youth had no legs and the entire lower half of his body was covered by the black robe.

In front of him, there was a mirror emitting black gases of the demon.

“Master, my injuries have healed. I will definitely take revenge this time.”

“Revenge? Look at you, how can you take revenge like this? Focus on your cultivation well. I will help you take revenge after I am released.”

In the mirror, there was a black face formed by gases. Others could only see the mouth on the face open and close but couldn’t tell what this person looked like.

“Master, I can’t wait.”

“How will you take revenge?”

“I… I will revive the Black Dragon Gang,”

The youth was no one else but Zhao Seven.

Back then, he borrowed power from the jade pendant to tear the space and escape. To come here, he lost his legs in the rift between spaces and burned all his essence and blood.

He sucked the essence and blood of many people along the way to keep himself alive.
