Chapter 860 Unexpected Winning Move

Li Mu almost cried out in shock when he heard that from the tree.

“I’ve been discovered.

“Do all the masters in the Deity Realm have such a keen sense of perception?

“I’ve concealed my aura using the Xiantian Skill, but I still have been discovered.

“Wait a minute. Could this be a trick?”

Li Mu’s mind raced, but he didn’t show himself at once.

“He-he, Li Mu, don’t take any chances. Do you think I’m playing a trick to lure you out? Ha-ha, I found you as soon as I came here. You’re hiding right in this peach tree. Show yourself and do not force me to take action,” Elder Song sneered.

Upon hearing that, Li Mu knew that he could no longer hide.

He jumped off the huge peach tree.

“Seniors, what you’ve done is truly amazing. To take the treasures, you even killed the disciples of your own clan. You are simply deranged. Now, I finally understand why the Rain Clan, one of the six major Divine Clans of the Celestial Court, performed that badly in the competition for rankings on the three lists. With inhumane, cruel, and vicious elders like you in the Rain Clan, it’s nearly impossible for the clan to rise.”

Li Mu had a smile on his face as he spoke.

He caught them on the raw and slapped them in the face with his words.

That was what he did.

The faces of the two elders of the Rain Clan suddenly changed on hearing his words.

“Ha-ha, every man for himself, and the devil takes the hindmost,” Elder Song said with a cold, vicious smile. “Moreover, you are the one that killed the seven disciples. How can you put the blame on us?”

The other elder roared with laughter. “That’s right. The seven disciples of our clan found the Seven Divine Jades and planned to offer them to the clan, but they ran across you. You mad butcher killed them to take the Seven Divine Jades. Fortunately, we arrived in time, killed you to take vengeance for them, and took back the Seven Divine Jades… That will be the truth others will know.”

The two elders exchanged glanced and guffawed.

“What the fuck!

“They’re so shameless.

“They’re both masters in the Deity Realm. How could they be so unscrupulous and frame a junior like this?”

Li Mu didn’t bother to argue anymore.

He had no idea what the other five major Divine Clans of the Celestial Court were like, but he was sure that the Rain Clan was thoroughly rotten. Judging by the way these two elders in the Deity Realm behaved, he was sure that even the foundation of the Rain Clan was rotten.

“Are you sure that you can kill me?” Li Mu asked calmly.

He ran his power in preparation for a fight.

“Ha-ha-ha-ha, you little bastard! Do you think that you can be a match for masters in the Deity Realm just because you’ve gotten on the Heaven Rankings List? You’re still far from that. What’s recognized by the stone tablet for the Heaven Rankings List is just your potential.” Elder Song roared with laughter. “Now, I can crush you to death with only one hand.”

Li Mu burst out laughing. “You seem to have forgotten that there is someone backing me up.”

Elder Song suddenly stopped laughing, and his face changed slightly.

The other elder laughed, saying, “That old fella didn’t come to the immortal palace. No matter how powerful he is, he’s just not here to help you. Even if we killed you, everything that’s happened here would be isolated by the Qi of this immortal palace, and he wouldn’t know it, nor would he be able to predict it. We may just make up an excuse and say that you got killed by some trap in the immortal palace and not a single remnant of you was left. So, what can he do about it?”

This time, Li Mu’s heart really skipped a beat.

“Damn it! The two old bastards are so shady and cruel.”

He sighed and said, “So, what will it take for you to let me go?”

Elder Song burst into laughter. “What’s up? Are you scared? Are you begging me?”

Li Mu said, “Sure. It’s better to live than to die.”

“Ha-ha, I thought that, as a genius who got on three lists and ranked first on two of them, you would be very proud. Ironically, you turn out to be a coward that fears death so much. Well, I will give you a chance. If you could offer all your secret cultivation methods and treasures to me, I would perhaps consider sparing your life. Your fate depends on what you’ll do.”

The other elder sneered viciously and sarcastically.

Upon hearing that, Li Mu shook his head and said, “Elder Song, you are lying to me. I am young, but I know that if I handed the treasures to you, I would really reach a dead end, and you would surely kill me. However, as long as you could swear by your Taoist foundation that you will not kill me, I would consider offering you the few treasures that my master has given me!”

The eyes of the two elders lit up slightly.

It was clear that they were tempted.

“If Li Mu really had the treasures given by that old fella, we might as well play with him for a while longer.

“After all, that old fella is a legendary figure that has even attracted the attention of heavenly emperors. Back then, he wreaked havoc in the Celestial Court and robbed the heavenly emperor’s armory. The treasures from him must be rare and extraordinary!”

“Oh? Tell me what treasures you have. If they are truly valuable, I’d like to make a deal with you,” said Elder Song.

Li Mu was amused. He fabricated stories about a few divine treasures, such as the Pegasus golden holy armor, the magic wand of Gunara the God of Darkness, and the Seven-treasures Gourd grown from seven flowers on a vine.

“My master told me that these treasures are all divine artifacts. With any of them, you can overwhelm masters in the Deity Realm and even contend with peerless masters in the Great Way Realm,” Li Mu said.

The eyes of the two elders beamed with excitement.

“Are there really such treasures in this world?

“Can the Pegasus golden holy armor really withstand any attack of masters in the Deity Realm?

“Are those who have the magic wand of Gunara the God of Darkness really able to summon the dark demons to fight for them?

“The Seven-treasures Gourd can control the five elements and various kinds of energy and devour peerless masters in the Great Way Realm. Is that real?”

Elder Song swallowed hard.

The other elder was also excited and full of expectations.

“If you really have such treasures, hand them over so that I…” Elder Song said expectantly. However, as he spoke, he suddenly saw the inexplicable, strange smile on Li Mu’s face and realized something. He said, “That’s not right, you little bastard! If you had such treasures, you wouldn’t be afraid of us, and you would have already taken out the treasures and killed us. How dare you trick us?”

The other elder froze for a moment and then realized what was going on.

Li Mu said with a smile on his face, “I’m not powerful enough to activate these treasures, so I have no choice but to make a compromise…”

The elder said in a stern tone of voice, “You little bastard, how dare you try to fool us? Your master is a smart man. How could he make such a mistake and give you the treasures that you can’t use?”

Li Mu smiled without saying anything.

By this time, Elder Song had gotten rid of his greed. He sneered and said, “You’re really something. I almost fell for your trick. No matter what treasures you have, I just need to kill you and then slowly search for them on your dead body.”

“Alas, it sounds like I’m doomed to die.” Li Mu sighed and said, “But I have to remind you of something. Can you smell any strange scent?”

Elder Song snorted. “Little bastard, what are you up to now? No matter what you say, you’re going to die today. I…”

His face suddenly changed before he could finish speaking.

“What’s going on?

“I feel a little… a little dizzy!

“I feel like I’m drunk.”

The other elder staggered, stared at Li Mu with a look of horror on his face, and said tipsily, “You little bastard! What… what did you do?”

Li Mu smiled brightly and said, “It seems that the Cloud Light Saintess didn’t lie to me. This wine can really make masters in the Deity Realm drunk!”

He waved his hand and took the double-nozzle wine pot with dragon patterns from a branch above his head.

The wine pot was open, giving off the smell of wine.

He pinched his nose and quickly covered it.

“You… What’s that vicious thing?” Elder Song tried to activate his power, but his efforts were to no avail. Even though true energy was circulating in his body, he felt very weak, as if his soul was leaving his body.

Li Mu said, “Don’t be so mean and say such harsh words. I’m doing this out of kindness. This is fine wine that has been stored for tens of thousands of years. It’s top-grade immortal wine. Why are you so unhappy with my treat?”

“What? Wine? Impossible.”

The two elders of the Rain Clan in the Deity Realm did not believe it at all.

What kind of wine was so powerful that it could instantly deprive them of the ability to fight back?

However, they seemed to have smelled a faint scent of wine.

It was normal that there might be a faint smell of alcohol in a wild orchard of fruit trees because some fruits would give off such a smell after they fell on the ground, rotted and fermented. Whether this kind of smell was toxic was not worth noticing at all.

The two elders in the Deity Realm noticed the smell just now, but they didn’t expect that Li Mu would use it against them.

“Is that really wine?

“What kind of wine is so terrifying?

“I just took a few sniffs, and I got drunk unknowingly. Its aftereffects are so strong.”

“Ha-ha, you don’t have to thank me. I’ve got more for you if you want. I’m not stingy at all.”

Li Mu laughed wildly.

A few moments ago, he removed the lid of the wine pot and placed the wine pot on a branch of the huge peach tree before he jumped off the tree. After he got down, he stood in the upper wind direction to stay away from the vapor of the wine. Then, standing beneath the tree, he talked a lot to the two elders in the Deity Realm so that they could breathe in more vapor.

It was an idea that popped into his head.

He was surprised to see that it really worked.

To make sure nothing would go wrong, he lifted the lid of the wine pot and fanned the vapor coming out of the pot towards the two elders. “Come on. Help yourselves and have more…”

The scent of wine wafted through the air toward the two elders.

The faces of the two elders in the Deity Realm were distorted. They tried their best to hold their breath, but it was futile. They were already drunk and could not control themselves at all. Now, they were just like two drunkards who said they couldn’t drink anymore when they were not drunk, but cried for more wine when they really got drunk.

After taking a few more sniffs, both of them were intoxicated to the point where they could barely keep their eyes open and couldn’t even activate their true energy. They lost the power to resist and collapsed to the ground, almost unconscious.

“Job done!”

Li Mu put away the wine pot.

“This thing is so useful.

“Who in the world would guard against wine?

“The wine can even knock masters in the Deity Realm out. It’s even more powerful than any divine artifact or Magic Treasure!”

“To be honest, you performed quite well just now!” Li Mu said.

“The stupid dog passed out after taking just one sniff, and he’s still unconscious now. You two are both masters in the Deity Realm. You took so many sniffs, but you didn’t pass out. That’s very impressive!”

“Everything is easier now. It’s my turn to open the package and see what Magic Treasures and secret martial arts manuals you’ve got. Maybe I will consider sparing your lives if you hand them to me right now!”

Li Mu walked over to the two elders with a smile on his face.

“It’s time to open the package. Great!

“Life is really full of surprises.”
