Chapter 859 An Unexpected Change

Li Mu hesitated for a moment. He didn’t rush to get close.

After all, the peach orchard was a place inside the imperial palace of the ancient Celestial Court where killing intent was everywhere. Sometimes, even a leaf falling from some peach tree here might kill a master in the Deity Realm. Anyone who dared to act recklessly here would be risking his life.

Li Mu observed the situation from afar with his Third Eye.

He didn’t find any signs of life.

The seven beautiful fairies with vivid facial expressions were really like sculptures.

After confirming that there was no danger, he slowly approached them.

“They are so beautiful!”

He couldn’t help exclaiming in surprise as he moved closer to them.

He was stunned by the seven fairies wearing red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple dresses.

They were extremely beautiful and as dreamy as figures in an illusion. Even a glance at them would make one’s heart beat faster. They had perfect facial features and long eyelashes, looking as if they were bestowed with all the features of beauty between heaven and earth.

Li Mu even gently poked one of them in the arm.

Her arm felt warm and smooth.

Her skin was warm and felt like that of a real live human being.

Li Mu was taken aback.

“Is she alive?”

However, she didn’t have any breath of life. Instead, she gave off a stone-like aura.

Li Mu looked around and found nothing unusual, so he focused his attention on the huge peach tree behind the Seven Fairies.

The peach tree was about one hundred meters tall, and its lush canopy was as big as a mini football field. It could be regarded as the queen of peach trees in this orchard. If any of the peach trees growing in the ruins could bear fruit, it would probably be this one.

Li Mu was surprised to find that he couldn’t see through the dense foliage to find any peach, though he used his Third Eye.

He had no choice but to climb up the peach tree and jump among the branches while pushing the twigs and leaves aside to look for peaches like a monkey. He sighed helplessly. “I can’t believe I’m looking for peaches like this. It’s really a… big failure!”

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

He searched the peach tree many times, but he didn’t find a single peach.

He sat on a branch, sighing.

“Damn it! Did the old faker make a mistake? It’s not time for the peach trees to bear fruit yet.”

Sitting on the branch, he rested his chin in his hands and wondered.

If he couldn’t find any immortal peach, he wouldn’t be able to cure his injury.

He didn’t know if there was another peach orchard in the immortal palace.

Just when he was about to jump off the tree, he suddenly heard the sound of sleeves fluttering in the distance.

“Is someone coming?”

As he thought, he hid himself in the huge peach tree and waited to see what would happen.

Tens of breaths later.

Seven figures appeared outside the peach orchard known as the Immortal Peach Garden.

Li Mu could tell from their clothes that they were the disciples of the Rain Clan—one of the six major Divine Clans of the Celestial Court.

They were all young people that he had never seen before, but their cultivation levels were high. Most of them had reached the peak of the King Realm, and two of them were in the Upper King Realm. They hesitated for a moment outside the Immortal Peach Garden and then walked straight toward the huge peach tree in the middle of the orchard.

“Be careful, everyone. According to the message we’ve received, Li Mu has come here. He is probably right in this orchard.”

“Be more vigilant. Send a message immediately if you find anything unusual. The elders are on their way and will be here soon.”

“Why would Li Mu come here? Is he here for the Seven Divine Jades too?”

“It’s possible. After all, that old monster is backing him up. We have to act cautiously and stop him from getting the Seven Divine Jades. The divine energy in them is enough to create seven masters in the Deity Realm.”

The disciples of the Rain Clan were on high alert. They created a small formation and walked slowly to the spot under the huge peach tree.

Hiding in the peach tree, Li Mu heard their conversation. He felt greatly shocked and found it very strange.

“What’s going on?

“How can the people of the Rain Clan detect my whereabouts?

“Have my tracks been discovered?

“How did they do it?

“The immortal palace is shrouded in this strange immortal mist. Even with my Third Eye, I can’t see things beyond the range of one thousand meters. How did they find out my whereabouts?

“This is a serious problem.

“Once my tracks in the immortal palace are discovered, I would be in great danger if the Rain Clan’s masters in the Deity Realm were lying in ambush.

“Moreover, the situation might be even worse.

“The people of the Rain Clan know the range of my activity. Does that mean the people of other Divine Clans like the Wind Clan know my whereabouts too?

“If the Divine Clans sent masters in the Deity Realm to hunt me down, I would be in an extremely dangerous situation.”

“I found them. The Seven Divine Jades are still here.”

The disciples of the Rain Clan arrived at the foot of the huge peach tree and found the fairies in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, cyan, and purple dresses.

“It turns out that the seven fairies are called the Seven Divine Jades.

“Are they sculptures carved out of divine jade?

“The craftsmanship is exquisite! They just look like real living beings.

“The disciples of the Rain Clan said that the Seven Divine Jades could be used to create seven masters in the Deity Realm. Could these seven statues be some kind of extraordinary treasures?”

Li Mu’s mind raced.

“If they are really precious treasures, I will surely take them as my own instead of leaving them to those bastards of the Rain Clan.

“It’s just that I don’t know how to use the Seven Divine Jades and what values they have.”

Li Mu didn’t rush to make a move. Instead, he watched in secret, waiting to see what the disciples of the Rain Clan would do next.

“Senior fellow apprentice, we’ve really found the Seven Divine Jades. Ha-ha, this is our opportunity,” a disciple of the Rain Clan in the Upper King Realm said excitedly.

Another disciple in the Upper King Realm, the most powerful one among these disciples of the Rain Clan, couldn’t hide his excitement. He said, “The immortal palace is indeed full of opportunities. Our adventure here pays off. Ha-ha-ha, there are seven of us, so each of us can have one piece of the Seven Divine Jades. As long as we can absorb the divine energy in them, we will become the top geniuses of the Rain Clan. He-he, even Lin Yuhan will have to retreat at that time.”

A practitioner at the peak of the King Realm seemed to be slightly hesitant. He said, “Senior fellow apprentices, it’s good that we have the opportunity to become immortals, but would it be a breach of the laws of heaven if we were to keep such divine treasures to ourselves instead of handing them over to our sect?”

The most powerful disciple in the Upper King Realm burst out laughing. “There’s something you don’t know. Before we set off, our grandmaster said that the opportunities for immortality in the immortal palace belong to whoever gets it. You should know that such opportunities only knock once. If you don’t take them on the spot, others may seize them the next moment. That will be a great loss, right? We’ve found the Seven Divine Jades, which means that this opportunity belongs to us.”

The other disciples of the Rain Clan were very happy to hear that.

“Ha-ha, all of these divine jades are beautiful fairies. Ha-ha, we can not only get the divine energy, but also enjoy their delicate bodies. Tsk-tsk-tsk, even dying for such peerless beauties is worthwhile.”

A practitioner of the Rain Clan in the King Realm commented in a lecherous manner.

Li Mu listened to the conversation from the tree, greatly surprised.

“What?

“Are these disciples of the Rain Clan going to fuck the jade statues?”

While he was wondering, he suddenly heard the sound of tearing cloth. An impatient disciple of the Rain Clan had torn off a piece of the red dress of a fairy statue. A large area of white skin as smooth as jade and the beautiful curve of the body were revealed, as if the statue were a real living being.

“Ha-ha, it feels warm. This piece of divine jade is really amazing. It’s just like a living being.” The disciple exclaimed with wonder as he stroked the smooth white skin of the fairy statue’s back.

The disciple of the Rain Clan in the Upper King Realm said, “I’ve read a secret book before. According to the book, those who want to get the divine energy of the divine jades must have sexual intercourse with the fairy statues and harvest Yin energy to replenish Yang energy. Although it sounds a little evil, it’s something destined. Bros, let’s pick our targets and take the opportunity as soon as possible.”

The seven disciples of the Rain Clan began to pick their targets, their eyes burning with fiery passions.

Li Mu was dumbfounded when he heard that.

“Is there really such a strange thing?

“How can one get the divine energy by having sex with some jade statues?

“That’s simply an evil practice!”

Then, he suddenly remembered that there was divine energy in him too. “The old faker said that I must have been raped by Bi Yan… Well, is that primitive method for balancing Yin and Yang the only way to get the divine energy?”

He had a headache.

“No matter what, I can’t let those bastards of the Rain Clan get what they want.”

Li Mu planned to take action, but his face suddenly changed, and he concealed his aura and hid himself better, curled up in the huge peach tree.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Something swooshed through the air.

Two beams of light flashed.

Two old men in their fifties appeared beneath the huge peach tree.

Each of the seven disciples of the Rain Clan had chosen a fairy statue made of divine jade, ready to find a secluded place and take action. When they saw the two old men, they were shocked, and they hurriedly walked over and saluted the two old men.

“Your Highness, it’s an honor to see you.”

They all fell to their knees to pay their deep respects.

“Get up,” one of the old men said. “Have you seen Li Mu?”

“Elder Song, we haven’t seen him, but we’ve found the legendary Seven Divine Jades in this Immortal Peach Garden,” the disciple in the Upper King Realm replied respectfully.

The other old man said, “Oh? You’re quite lucky.”

Elder Song nodded and said, “Our senior fellow apprentice said that the treasures in the immortal palace belong to whoever finds them. You are lucky. The Seven Divine Jades are yours.”

“Thanks a lot, Your Highness.”

“Thanks, Your Highness.”

The seven disciples of the Rain Clan felt relieved and delighted when they heard what the two elders said.

They didn’t expect that the two elders would be so agreeable.

“Report to me as soon as you find any trace of Li Mu.” Elder Song nodded with a smile and said, “Well, you don’t have to stay here. Just go and do what you need to do.”

The seven disciples of the Rain Clan were overjoyed. They repeatedly thanked the two elders and turned around to leave.

Suddenly…

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two elders of the Rain Clan suddenly launched a surprise attack at the same time, as if they had agreed beforehand. They struck the seven disciples on the back with their palms as fast as lightning.

Six disciples were instantly blown up and turned into blood mist before they could react. The blood mist dyed the air red.

Only the most powerful disciple in the Upper King Realm avoided the surprise attack, as if he had been on alert. However, half of his body was badly mutilated by the wind generated by the palm strikes. He screamed and fell to the ground. “Ah, Your Highness, please forgive me. I’d like to offer the Seven Divine Jades to you…”

Without saying a word, Elder Song moved swiftly like a lightning bolt and struck the disciple on the head without any hesitation.

Boom!

The disciple’s body exploded and turned into a bloody mist drifting and dispersing in the air.

Li Mu was greatly shocked when he saw the scene from the huge peach tree.

“What a ruthless attack!

“He killed the elite disciples of his own clan without blinking an eye.”

“Ha-ha, the Seven Divine Jades are so rare and precious. How dare you want to take possession of them?” Elder Song laughed coldly.

The other elder said, “We’re already masters in the Deity Realm. The divine jades are of no benefit to us, but we can give them to our offspring and descendants.”

The two elders looked at each other and burst into laughter.

After a short while, they stopped laughing.

A faint cold smile crept across Elder Song’s face, and he said loudly, “Ha-ha, Li Mu, you saw that from the tree, didn’t you? Why don’t you get down? Are you waiting for me to pull you down?”
