Chapter 134: The Center of the Vortex
As the clock ticked by, it didn't take long for the day of the second round of eliminations.
Outside the Huiyu Hall on this day, it was crowded with people, among which there were many warriors of the Imperial City, and the purpose of their waiting here was naturally self-evident.
"It's almost time, why hasn't Li Mu come out yet!"
"Look, look! That's the team from the Holy Spirit Academy!"
"Sure enough, look at it! The girl in the purple skirt in the middle is Murong Yudie, who is rumored to have a purple Jun-level nine-layer spirit seal and has a dual-attribute talent!"
"Huh, strange, why didn't I see any trace of Li Mu, could it be the young man in the green shirt in the middle?"
"No, it's not him! I've seen the qualifiers, and that person is one of the core disciples of the Holy Spirit Academy, named Leng Miao. Although his strength is also good, he is not Li Mu!"
......
The group of the Holy Spirit Academy bypassed the crowd and followed the main road in the center towards the Divine Battle Platform.
Ling Yun looked around with some confusion on his face, and said suspiciously: "What about Priest Li, why can't you see him, could it be that he forgot today's game?"
Murong Yudie smiled coquettishly: "Hehe, junior brother, he has already gone out!"
Murong Bo shook his head and explained, "It's not convenient for that kid to come out with us now, don't you see how many people are crowded there in front of the door just now! If he comes out with us, I'm afraid that we won't be able to get out of the gate of the Huiyu Hall now." ”
Ling Yun nodded, this is not difficult to understand.
Yu Fengyan frowned when she heard this, and said uneasily: "Lord Dean, although Li Mu is now sought after by many people, it is also because of the qualifiers, which has provoked several families!
Murong Bo waved his hand and replied casually: "Don't worry about this, that kid is absolutely safe now!"
Although Yu Fengyan still has doubts in her heart, she doesn't know what ability Li Mu has to hide from the world, but she understands that Li Mu must have some means of self-protection, which is enough to ensure her own safety, in this way, the fewer people who know, the better!
Murong Bo looked at Yu Fengyan's slightly relieved expression, and sighed secretly in his heart: This little guy is really getting more and more surprising!
He still clearly remembered that Li Mu pinched the seal with a smile on his face, and then his body rose two feet in an instant, and then he became a mediocre-looking man.
Murong Bo thought of his stunned appearance at that time, and now he still couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart......
Without the slightest delay on the way, the group quickly arrived at the competition area of the Battle of the Divine Son.
Murong Bo and the others returned to the viewing seat, while Murong Yudie, Murong Lingjin, Leng Miao and others also walked towards the preparation seat not far below at this time.
As soon as Murong Lingjin entered the preparation seat, she had already seen Li Mu sitting not far away, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.
For his own sake, Li Mu eliminated the genius disciples of the three major families in Yanjin County, not to mention, and then because his sister was attacked, he was furious and abolished the spiritual power of five geniuses, including Yan Yutian.
Although on the surface, Li Mu reached the requirements of the lord Shangguan Baxiao through the three-trick appointment with Shangguan Yi's predecessors, and wrote off the things done in the qualifiers, but in fact, anyone can see that Ye Gucun and others will never easily let go of their grievances and bypass Li Mu!
This is also the reason why she knows that Li Mu has some means of self-preservation, but she is still very worried......
There is not much time left until the second round of elimination, and the spectator seats are already full at this time, and the crowd is full of shouts that shake the sky.
Murong Bo glanced at it casually, and most of the people around him were talking about Li Mu......
"Brother, have you heard, today's rematch competition, Li Mu will appear in a duel!"
"I really hope to see the collision between Li Mu and the top geniuses like Shangguan Hao as soon as possible!"
"Hey~ You think too much about this, the second round is absolutely impossible! The rules of the competition are used to eliminate the weak, whether it is Li Mu or Prince Shangguan Hao, with their strength, they will be given priority to advance, if nothing else, they will definitely enter the final stage!"
"I really don't know how Li Mu has such terrifying strength at such a young age, with his strength, I'm afraid it's not difficult even if he wants to win the championship of the Battle of the Divine Son!"
"Cut~ This is natural! You haven't seen with your own eyes what Li Mu did when the qualifiers were really amazing!"
"With Li Mu's strength, the game in the Battle of the Divine Son is just a piece of cake! I bet that even if Li Mu doesn't use all his strength today, he can defeat his opponent within three moves!"
"What nonsense are you talking about! How can you need three moves! I bet with you with a low-grade spirit stone, Li Mu only needs one move to win! Do you dare?"
“......”
In the preparation seat, Li Mu looked at the boiling sound of the surging crowd in all directions, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless in his heart.
At this time, he naturally knew that after a few days of brewing, the events in the qualifiers had spread to every corner of the Imperial City, and he himself had become the biggest dark horse in the battle of the gods, and he had become the biggest favorite to win the championship!
Murong Yudie looked at the crowd in the viewing seat, her voice was almost roaring and supporting Li Mu, she couldn't help but smile, she covered her mouth and smiled: "Senior brother, you have now become the object of worship in the hearts of countless people~"
Li Mu touched his nose and replied a little embarrassedly: "Senior sister, don't laugh at me, you know, I don't like this now." ”
"Hee-hee-hee~"
On the side, Ling Yun looked at the crowd of people in the audience seat who were almost crazy, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
He still clearly remembered that just eight months ago, Li Mushang was only a low-level Xuan Ling Realm, and even in terms of strength, he was only slightly better than himself by half a move!
But now that time has passed, I am afraid that I will not be able to take even a move in front of Li Mu, Ling Yun sighed slightly in his heart, he did not feel too much jealousy, and he was more happy for Li Mu in his heart.
Since the "Spirit Hunting Competition", Ling Yun has been ashamed of Li Mu on the one hand, but on the other hand, he also admires Li Mu's character and strength.
Just as Li Mu was looking around, he suddenly heard the sound of spiritual power transmission.
"Brother Pastor Li, you must be careful these days! someone may attack you!"
Li Mu suddenly heard the sound of spiritual power, and he couldn't help but be surprised, he followed the direction of the transmission, but saw Yan Luochen, who was dressed in a palace robe not far away, showing a worried face.
He couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked, "Senior Sister Luo Chen, why did you remind me of this, do you know something?"
Yan Luochen hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth fiercely, she inadvertently glanced at the golden jade platform, and then explained: "Brother Pastor Li, my father told me that the Shangguan clan is most likely plotting to subvert the ancestral system of the two imperial lineages taking turns to inherit the throne, and their wedge is fixed on Yan Yutian's body!"
When Li Mu heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
When he first heard that the royal family of Yanxiao Kingdom was a system in which two bloodlines inherited the throne in turn, he was already deeply puzzled in his heart, you know, the position of the lord of the country is the supreme status of Yanxiao Kingdom's power!
It is indeed an extremely incredible thing that such a prominent position can complete the alternation of the beginning of the week and achieve a balance among the two clansmen! At present, it seems that such a balance situation is really fragile!
Yan Luochen's voice was not broken, and he continued: "Yan Yutian, as the eldest prince of my Yan clan, was found out by his father three days ago, and he has already been bought by the Shangguan clan!"
"He seems to have a huge power of his own, but in fact he is just a puppet of the lord of the country! He thinks that he can use the power of the Shangguan clan to eradicate dissidents and win over the elders, so as to help him ascend to the throne. ”
"But all this he did was just making wedding dresses for others! The father found out that the lord of the country had secretly sent someone to arrange the Zen concession ceremony, and once Yan Yutian inherited the throne, it was very likely that he would be subject to others because of the previous things, and then he would be forced to surrender the throne. At that time, the inheritance of the throne will most likely be taken over by the Shangguan First Line, and in this process, the Shangguan First Line will definitely begin to consciously and gradually eat away at the strength of my Yan Clan's Imperial Line!"
When Li Mu heard this, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, he didn't expect such a great change to have taken place in the royal family!
When Li Mu first heard the news of Yan Yutian, he was already slightly suspicious in his heart.
After all, although Yan Yutian was the eldest prince, he had almost overwhelming strength, and he could easily abolish his several younger brothers, not to mention, he could still get many elders to support him. According to Yan Luochen, Yan Yutian acted cruelly and inadvertently provoked a lot of people.
Especially the elder Yan Sue who was on the verge of defection, Li Mu clearly remembered that Yan Sue seemed to have some grudges with Yan Yutian, but driven by interests, he turned to support Yan Yutian, such a strange phenomenon is really strange!
After all, no matter what promises Yan Yutian made to him before the succession to the throne, it shouldn't be enough to make Yan Sue easily turn against Yan Luochen, Li Mu guessed at that time that Yan Yutian must have a lot of precious treasures and resources in his hands!
Li Mu thought that this was due to Yan Xiao's preference, but when he saw Yan Xiao, he had already realized that this was not the case!
Although it was only the first time and there had not been too much contact, Li Mu could see that Yan Xiao was not a blind and mediocre person, and he would never be too arrogant to Yan Yutian because of a little preference, let alone secretly give him too much support.
Now it seems that all this can be easily explained, the capital in Yan Yutian's hands undoubtedly comes from the secret support of Shangguan Baxiao behind him!
And Li Mu recalled Shangguan Baxiao's targeting at this time, as well as the crisis he faintly perceived, and also had an answer! After all, Yan Yutian, as Shangguan Baxiao's secret card, was abolished by himself in the qualifiers, not to mention, the strength he showed must have far exceeded Shangguan Baxiao's expectations, and it was likely to threaten his future plans!
After all, if Yan Luochen failed in the competition and the throne fell into the hands of Yan Yutian, it would almost be equivalent to falling into his hands again! But right now, Li Mu's sudden appearance undoubtedly disrupted his plan.
At this time, Shangguan Baxiao saw his own strength, and he must have been able to predict that the final challenge was not impossible for him! And once he completed the final challenge, Yan Luochen would obtain the right to inherit the throne, and at that time, no matter what his follow-up plan was, it would definitely be difficult to continue to carry it out!
Therefore, all the accidents are due to one person, and this person is Li Mu himself!
