Chapter 2118: It's Not Time
"I can't see that Li Daoyou is quite good to the people of the Chaos Emperor Clan, and he is so concerned. ”
Seeing that Li Mu deliberately mentioned the Chaos Emperor Clan, Hu Ling said with a smile.
"Alas, there's no way, people have helped me Beidou so much, I owe them a favor, besides, people are now coming to my Beidou as a guest, and I'm still contributing to Beidou, so I have to take care of one or two. ”
Li Mu sighed and said.
"That's right, you can rest assured, since we have all agreed to lend the Kaiyang Continent to his Chaos Emperor Clan, naturally we will not deliberately embarrass them, but the premise is that they don't find trouble on their own. ”
Dongfang Xing nodded.
"Then thank you, by the way, I have a few pieces of communication jade talismans here, all of which are refined by grandmaster-level array mages, you can each keep one, once there is any emergency, we can also contact each other as soon as possible." ”
Li Mu said as he took out thirteen golden jade talismans from the domain space, and then distributed them to Dongfang Xing and the others.
"Li Daoyou is really thoughtful, if you need to use our place in the future, you can directly summon the message, so it's okay, we owe you a big favor, and it's time to pay it back." ”
After looking at the communication jade talisman in his hand, Hu Ling said meaningfully.
"Don't get me wrong, Hu Daoyou, I didn't mean that, I was afraid that the people of the Protoss would find you when the time came, and you wouldn't have time to send me a message for help, of course, if I have something to do with your help, I will naturally not be polite. ”
Li Mu knew that Hu Yan was quite scheming, but he didn't care, and replied very casually.
"Let's talk about it then, Li Daoyou, there will be a period in the future, take care!"
Putting away the communication jade talisman, Hu Cheng and the others hugged their fists at Li Mu.
"I'll send you all, the teleportation array that is now connected to the Arctic Realm is also the one that leads to the Yaoguang Holy City. ”
Seeing that Hu Cheng and the others were about to leave, Li Mu took the initiative to propose.
"No need, we are very familiar with this Arctic world, so we won't bother Li Daoyou, say goodbye!"
Hu Ling rejected Li Mu's kindness, and then flew up with everyone and fled away in one direction.
"It's really some arrogant guys, you guys just go, it's okay to go out and suffer hardships, I don't think you will take the initiative to come back and accept the inheritance when the time comes!"
Looking at Hu Ling and the others who soon disappeared at the end of the sky, Li Mu muttered to himself.
"Third uncle!"
was about to return to the domain space, at this moment, a shout came from the crowd not far away, followed by two rays of light flying into the sky, and soon landed in front of Li Mu, but there were two middle-aged men, one was Li Yuan, the son of Li Feng, and the other was Li Zhenglong, Li Mu's other father.
"Father, I've only been back for a short time, and I haven't had time to see you, how is this going?"
As soon as he saw Li Zhenglong, Li Mu suddenly asked with concern.
Although the Arctic Realm has lost a lot of people after the battle not long ago, and there is even some high-level people on the Holy Island, for some people like Li Zhenglong, who are close to Li Mu, they are still taken special care by the disciples of the Beidou Alliance, and almost no one has fallen.
Over the years, under Li Mu's special care, Li Zhenglong's cultivation has reached the late stage of transcendence, and Li Yuan, Li Mu's junior, has also taken up a lot of light, and his cultivation is already in the late stage of the true king.
"I'm okay, thanks to Elder Hua Yun for bringing us into the realm space, otherwise we would definitely have become cannon fodder in that big battle a few days earlier. ”
Seeing Li Mu again, Li Zhenglong was also very happy, he said with a smile.
"That's good, Father, I have good news for you, Cher is back. ”
Li Mu said with a smile on his face.
"What!! Cher is back, isn't it true?"
As soon as he heard Li Xue's news, Li Zhenglong was stunned at first, and then his eyes were red with excitement, he and Li Xue had not seen each other for nearly a thousand years, although he had long heard Li Mu say that Li Xue stayed in Xianxu and did not die, but he thought hard day and night, and still failed to see his daughter.
Li Mu nodded very affirmatively: "Of course it's true, she came back with me, but she should still be in Yaoguang Holy City now, wait for me to ask about the situation, and let her come to the Holy Island quickly and reunite with you." ”
"Great, it's really good, I didn't expect that after so many years, even the catastrophe of the Demon Tribulation has passed, and my son and daughter can still accompany me, it's really God's favor!"
Li Zhenglong said with tears in his eyes.
"Second grandfather, this is a good thing, why are you crying, I have heard my father talk about Aunt Li Xue before, but I have never seen a real person, this time I can finally get my wish. Li Yuan smiled, but a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
"Li Yuan, where is your father?"
Seeing that something was wrong with Li Yuan, Li Mu hurriedly asked.
"Father, he... He fell, and died not long ago in the attack of the demon army, my Li family... My Li family's descendants, there are only me and my second grandfather, as well as you and Aunt Li Xue, and there are still some people left in the side branches, but they are only hundreds. ”
Li Yuan explained in a depressed mood.
"It's fallen... Alas, I didn't expect him to be such a strong person, but he actually died in the catastrophe... I think back then, in Twilight Cloud City, we were still life and death together, and although we reconciled later, we rarely met. ”
Li Mu said with a look of reminiscence, so many years have passed in a flash, although in terms of Li Mu's current longevity, it seems insignificant, but he has really experienced it, and so many things have happened, Li Mu still feels that many years have passed, and some things are not human.
"Mu'er, looking at the current development of the situation, my Beidou's demon tribulation turmoil will soon be completely pacified, and then we should also take the remaining clansmen back to the Yuheng Continent together. ”
"And you have cultivated to Tongtian, you are both the master of the Holy Island and the leader of the Beidou Alliance, you must not have much time to go back often, since I have seen it today, I have something I want to ask for your opinion. ”
After hesitating for a moment, Li Zhenglong said with a solemn expression.
"Ask for my opinion? If there is anything that my father directly orders, why do you need to ask my opinion, what is it?"
Li Mu asked with some curiosity, since he moved to the Arctic realm, Li Zhenglong had never spoken to him so politely.
"That's the case, although I am now the nominal head of the Li family, but now that I am old, and I have gone through so many things, thanks to you, my cultivation has also gone from the original non-entry to the current transcendent late stage, so I am ready to give up the position of the head of the family after returning to the Yuheng Continent. ”
"Originally, after I abdicated, the position of the head of the family should be inherited by you, but with your current identity and status, you naturally can't look down on it, and the same is true for Tianming, you still have a higher and farther way to go, so you definitely can't look down on a small position of the head of the family in my Li family. ”
"The position of the head of my Li family has always been passed on only to men and not to women, so I didn't take Xue'er and An Qing into account, I thought about it, and now Li Yuan is suitable to take over, I want to ask you if you have any opinions, after all, you are the most outstanding clansman of my Li family. ”
Li Zhenglong said his thoughts.
"That's for this, um... Let this little guy Li Yuan be the head of the Li family, I naturally have no opinion, but... Actually, I think you can stay in the Arctic, father. ”
"Even if the Holy Island is reorganized in the future, and everything in Beidou is restored to its original state, it can stay in my Beidou Alliance, why do you have to separate. ”
Li Mu didn't have any opinion on Li Yuan taking the position of head of the family, but he didn't quite agree with letting the people of the Li family split alone.
Li Mu is mainly because of Li Zhenglong, although the other party has no blood relationship with him, but the other party is his respected father in the end, and treats him as his own, he now has the ability to keep his relatives by his side to protect him, so he is naturally unwilling to part with him.
Just like this turmoil in the Arctic Realm, Li Zhenglong and the disciples of the Li family, because of Hua Yun's special care, did not fall into the hands of the demons, but once the Li family returned to the Yuheng Continent and was not in front of Li Mu, then he really couldn't take care of it.
"Alas, Mu'er, I know that you are for my good, and I also know that you are for the good of my Li family, but my Li family must also be a family that has been inherited for thousands of years, even if the family can only be counted as a third-rate, but it is also a heritage. ”
"Staying by your side, although you can be protected, but it is impossible to stay by your side for the rest of your life, you must know that once the demon tribulation is settled, there will only be more and more people in my Li family, how can you take care of it." ”
"Besides, although my Li family is small, I don't want to develop under your wing all the time, so that the clan will lose their independence and become inferior to the next generation, only by letting them develop and grow on their own is the best way out. ”
Li Zhenglong said earnestly, obviously having thought about these things.
"Hmm..... Okay, what my father said is indeed reasonable, let Li Yuan be the head of the family, and when the time comes, I will personally refine an imperial weapon and leave some exercises to inherit, which can be regarded as my dedication as a disciple of the Li family. ”
After thinking about it, Li Mu nodded and said, he knew what Li Zhenglong meant, and it did make sense, if a family wants to really develop and grow, it is not possible to rely on the shadow of the ancestors to protect it, at least not for a long time.
"That's good, by the way, I heard that your father was seriously injured, how is it now?"
Li Zhenglong changed the topic and cared about Li Chongtian's situation.
"The injury has stabilized, and although it is quite serious, it can still be healed with some time. Li Mu said truthfully.
"That's good, I've been worried about him, who are those people just now, why do they all look so powerful, they all seem to be emperor-level existences, when did my Beidou have so many emperor-level powerhouses. ”
Li Zhenglong said a little strangely, not only him, but Li Yuan, including the rest of the Holy Island disciples who had seen Li Mu's battle scene, were all very puzzled in their hearts.
"I was about to announce this matter, but since my father asked, then I said it bluntly, those emperor-level powerhouses who inexplicably disappeared before my Beidou, except for a few, have basically all returned now. ”
"The thirteen people who left just now are just some of them, and now the Nether Realm has cleaned up the remnants of the demon race. ”
Li Mu knew the identity of Lei Yin and the others, and sooner or later he would not be able to hide it, and there was no need to hide it at all, so he told the truth of the matter.
"What!!'s all back, this... Oh my God, this is such a big deal, how can this be, this is too bad to return. ”
After Li Zhenglong listened to Li Mu's words, he couldn't help but exclaim, obviously he didn't expect that the thirteen people who left would be the emperor-level powerhouses of Beidou in the past.
There is something about the inexplicable disappearance of emperor-level powerhouses, this is not such a secret thing in the Beidou cultivation world, many people with strong cultivation or some insight know it, but no one would have thought that those emperor-level powerhouses who disappeared would actually come back.
"Father, you said that their return was too inopportune, what do you mean by that, why do I sound a little twisted. ”
Li Mu asked with a smile.
"Of course it's not time, these people, when I Beidou really needed them, I didn't even see a ghost, you were under so much pressure, it took so much effort to finally calm down the demon calamity, and they appeared now. ”
"I really know how to pick up ready-made food to eat, and I'm shameless, the matter is almost handled, I'll come back now, if I come back three days early, I won't be able to die so many people in this battle in the Arctic Realm, and the seven holy cities will not be lost." ”
Li Zhenglong said angrily.
"Yes, if they had come back a few days earlier, my father wouldn't have died. ”
Li Yuan also said indignantly.
"It's... They can't be blamed for this, in fact, they are trapped in one place, and if I hadn't been lucky enough to break in and rescue them, I don't know when I would have come back. ”
Although what Li Zhenglong and Li Yuan said had some truth, Li Mu knew that Dongfang Xing and them could not be blamed for this matter at all, so he smiled and opened his mouth to help him defend him.
After chatting with Li Zhenglong for a few more words, Li Mu returned to the Enlightenment Gu Immortal Tree in the realm space.
Li Mu's trip to the Hongmeng Realm actually didn't take too long, so there was basically no change on the Enlightenment Gu Immortal Tree, Zhao Yiyi Xiao Ya and others were still cultivating under the tree, and Li Mu's deity and Li Chongtian were also on the tree, and there was no change.
Taking out the Holy Island Island Lord Token from his bosom, Li Mu explained the matter of Dongfang Xing and the others returning to the Nether Realm to the high-level people of the Holy Island, especially Sun Qitian and Jin Yu and others, and then summoned Li Xue to let him return to the Holy Island.
After doing all this, Li Mu returned to the body of the deity.
With the integration of the clones, soon several clones flew out of Li Mu's body, and this time a total of six people were separated......
