Chapter 516 - 507: Immortal
Within the City Lord Mansion’s eastern garden in Feng’an City.
"The East Pole Longevity Scripture has been distributed, hasn’t it?" Lü Liang asked, massaging his brow.
"The city’s workshops are printing it urgently, and in two days, we can ensure that everyone has a copy," Lü Thirteen nodded, then hesitated, "But if we really implant the Spiritual Seed in everyone, it would be like handing over the entire Feng’an City to Lu Da. If he harbors other intentions..."
"I don’t want this either..." Lü Liang sighed, "The Strange Demons have been getting rarer recently; I’m afraid a big entity is moving towards Feng’an City."
"If it’s just the night-roaming Strange Demons and the fierce Strange Demons, we would still be able to cope,"
"Apart from using the Mountain-Carrying Scripture to forcibly unite the city’s power in resistance, we have no other choice."
Lü Thirteen’s expression turned grim: "Did Lu Da anticipate this from the beginning?"
"At least we did obtain Ghost Gate, and father successfully ventured to Beyond Heaven," Lü Liang shook his head with a bitter smile, "Let’s just proceed with the previous plan."
Lü Thirteen could only nod in silence.
Lü Liang sighed again, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and continued to sift through the intelligence dossier in his hands.
"Yin Spirits have disappeared again in the city? Hasn’t the frequency of similar events been too high lately?"
"Quite a few," Lü Thirteen nodded, "It could be someone taking advantage of the chaos, or these people feel threatened by the Strange Demons and covertly fled Feng’an. I have already involved the patrol battalion, and we should soon have an accurate answer."
"Scholar?" But Lü Liang continued to stare at the documents.
"It says here that a scholar has appeared near the residences of the missing Yin Spirits. This person..." For some reason, he felt an odd sense of déjà vu.
"That’s also why I suspect someone is secretly causing trouble," Lü Thirteen nodded, "It’s very likely someone is laying a trap to create panic and stir chaos within the city."
However, Lü Liang’s frown deepened as a memory suddenly flashed in his mind.
A scholar dressed in white, with a fox-like smiling face...
Hiss!
"Is there something wrong with this scholar?" Lü Thirteen asked in confusion.
"Smiling scholar, Uncle Thirteen, doesn’t he seem familiar to you?" Lü Liang’s voice was hoarse, immediately handing over the intelligence note to Lü Thirteen.
"A fox-like smile? A scholar dressed in white?" Lü Thirteen examined the letter carefully, and his body stiffened as if struck by a sudden realization.
In the past two months, with the continuous appearances of Strange Demons, they had researched a lot of material to counter them effectively.
Because of this, they also learned many previously overlooked news and intelligence.
"Could it be the King Li Wuyou who devastated Chongyan City hundreds of years ago?"
"The Strange Demon King who can duplicate endlessly, growing stronger the more he’s killed?!" Lü Thirteen looked incredulous.
"Impossible!" He shook his head vehemently, "It’s been hundreds of years, even if King Li Wuyou was formidable, he should have fallen to the bottom of the River of Oblivion and completely vanished by now."
"If he roamed free, he would indeed vanish, but what if someone was intentionally nurturing him?" Lü Liang’s face turned ashen.
"The old ghost from Qingyang City?! How dare he..." Lü Thirteen exclaimed.
"To become the King of Yin Spirits, what wouldn’t he dare!" Lü Liang’s expression grew even more unsightly.

Boom!
Dirt flew in all directions.
Chen Mu, like a cannonball, was driven out of the ground by Li Wuyou!
While still midair, the man in white vanished instantly, only to reappear the very next instant to Chen Mu’s right, his right hand wrapped in bright red smoke and formed into a blade-like shape, stabbing straight towards Chen Mu’s waist.
Clang!
Chen Mu twisted his body, grabbing the other’s wrist, and spun around violently like a top.
Like flinging away a ball and chain, he whirred and threw Li Wuyou flying.
Boom!
Rocks shattered, and Li Wuyou’s figure crashed into the rock walls of a distant cliff, dust billowing around him.
Before he could struggle out of the hole, Chen Mu’s figure was already upon him.
Giant Spirit Divine!
With a flicker of the divine image shadow behind him, Chen Mu’s strength soared instantaneously.
He clenched his fists, black smoke swirling around them, and with a series of dragon roars and tiger howls, his fists buzzed like the flapping wings of bees and like bullets shot repeatedly from a gun, pummeling towards the other’s ghastly grinning face.
Pu pu pu!
In a few breaths, his opponent’s face was completely mashed by Chen Mu.
Chen Mu let out a thunderous roar, swinging both fists simultaneously, the black smoke around him surging toward Li Wuyou.
Whoosh!
The other’s body shook violently, as if it were made of sand, quickly disintegrating into tiny black ashes that scattered with the wind.
Chen Mu, panting heavily, stared hatefully at the bloodstains inside the hole.
But the very next moment, that feeling of being targeted by countless malicious gazes reappeared.
Chen Mu looked down swiftly, only to see below the cliff, an unscathed figure in white raising his head, gazing at Chen Mu with that fox-like, eerie smile.
Fuck!
Will you ever fucking end?!
Chen Mu’s head buzzed, feeling a chill in his heart as his scalp exploded with tension.
From last night to now, he had already killed seventeen Li Wuyous.
But no matter how many times he killed him, the other would reappear right after his death. And as time went on, his strength seemed to grow even more formidable.
Initially, all he needed was to use Five Dragons Qi to kill him, but the Li Wuyou from just now had entangled him for nearly half a day!
And now, after a full day and night of pursuit, his Yin Spirit Divine Power was nearly depleted.
If he still couldn’t shake off Li Wuyou’s pursuit, he really feared he might end up devoured by this ghostly creature!
