Chapter 223
"Chief Liu, what’s the matter with this Bestial Mountain Sect?" Shi Mu asked .




"Ah, it’s a long story . Our Mountain Town is actually . . . " The elderly Chief shook his head and started to explain everything as they walked side-by-side .
Shi Mu finally got to know a lot of things about the mainland after he listened to the explanation of the elderly Chief .
This Mountain Town was a small frontier town that belonged to a small nation – Song Nation . And, this nation was situated in the eastern part of the Lu Shan Kingdom .
The Bestial Mountain Sect was one of the sects of Song Nation . It inadvertently discovered a Spirit Stone mine in the grand mountains . In addition, they found that the rear part of this Mountain Town was leant against the mountain range . Therefore, they dispatched people to the vicinity to recruit the residents of the small towns . They would then make them excavate Spirit Stones for them .
The Bestial Mountain Sect announced to offer considerably high remuneration to the people who would agree to go to this mountain for mining . Consequently, the strong and sturdy young men of this town started to struggle and compete with each other to go . And, this town enjoyed an era of prosperity in those days .
However, the town’s residents gradually realized that only a part of the total people - who were sent to the mine – were able to return safely . Furthermore, it wasn’t long before a greater part of the people who could return suddenly died a violent death .
The Bestial Mountain Sect later offered a considerable amount of compensation for this incident . However, they also continued to raise the remuneration from time to time since the number of young and strong men continued to decline rapidly in this town over the time . Eventually, there arrived a time when no one in the town wanted to go .
It was reported that a grand ceremony was going to be held in the Lu Shan Kingdom . It would be held after almost thirty years . The sects of the surrounding nations seemingly needed to offer a large number of spirit stones as a tribute in this ceremony . Therefore, everyone across the Song nation was mining aggressively in recent years .
The people who were in charge of the mining began to send people to the town frequently with the passage of time . They would drag away the strong and capable men to the mine by paying twice remuneration to them .
The Song nation wasn’t a large nation . But, the Bestial Mountain Sect commanded a very high status in this nation even though it was only a small sect in the central mainland . Therefore, the resident of the town couldn’t turn anywhere for the help .

. . . …

The two of them eventually arrived in front of a two-storied restaurant .
The elderly Chief turned around to look at Shi Mu . He then sighed and said, "Righteous man Shi, there are many powerful people in the Bestial Mountain Sect . The people who guard the mine here are far more powerful than the messengers whom you have seen before . This old man would suggest that you should leave our Mountain Town as soon as possible after you finish your meal!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Chief," Shi Mu replied .
The Chief shook his head and didn’t speak anything further . He then walked into the restaurant by taking the support of the petite man . Shi Mu also followed after him .




The restaurant looked quite clean at a glance . But, the tables and chairs were slightly shabby .
Some simple home-cooked dishes were put on the table, but Shi Mu hadn’t had a good meal for almost six months . Therefore, Shi Mu gobbled down a lot; the Parrot was no different . The elderly Chief was left awestruck on seeing their unbelievable appetite .
The Chief didn’t accept money for the meal in the end . Shi Mu didn’t force him too much either .
Shi Mu asked the Chief to suggest him an inn to stay in after he had eaten his meal .
The inn was quite atmospheric and attractive like most of the buildings in the town . Shi Mu chose the best room there . There was also a spacious yard outside the room .
There were only three rooms in addition to the courtyard’s front gate . But, the other two rooms seemed unoccupied at this time . So, the small courtyard appeared very quiet and lonely . But, this was an ideal situation, and left Shi Mu to feel very satisfied .
. . . …

In a quite magnificent courtyard somewhere in the town…
"Father, Mr Bai won’t let this matter slip by . This man Shi Mu wouldn’t stand any chance against Mr Bai if he returns at the designated time . All this happened because of him . How can we possibly deal with the situation if Mr Bai decides to vent him anger on us?" The petite man looked at the elderly Chief and said; the Chief was seated on a chair at this moment . He bore an expressionless face .
"Young Zhi, we have to resign to fate! Our Mountain Town is popular because of the mountain . And, it will eventually meet its destruction because of the mountain only . " The grizzled-haired man shook his head and heaved a sigh .
"This kid is the means that can make this town evade this calamity!" The petite man rolled his eyes .
"What is it? Don’t tell me you . . . " The Chief abruptly stood up and pointed his finger at the petite man .
"Father, we clearly know that Mr Bai will never let Shi Mu off so easily . So, we might as well take the initiative to inform the whereabouts of Shi Mu to Mr Bai . This action will make our position clear before him . Then, he shouldn’t look into this matter . Moreover, I have also heard people say that magicians usually carry spirit stones . We know that Shi Mu is also a magician . So, he must have carried plenty of spirits stones on his person . Mr Bai will be very happy when he seizes his treasure . So, eliminating the town's mining quota wouldn’t remain a major problem if that happens! After all, this isn’t the only town in the vicinity . So, they would barely run short of people because of the dozen or more our town provides . . . " the petite man said .
"It’s out of question . We can’t repay kindness and debts of gratitude with foul means . We will certainly suffer the divine punishment if we do!" The Chief immediately declined the idea .
"Father, the welfare of our entire town depends upon this matter . I admit that many people of this town have zipped their mouths . But, their hearts act as a mirror that reveals their true feelings . Someone would’ve already rushed to the mine to notify this incident by now," the petite man lowered his voice as he said this .
"You . . . " The elderly Chief fell down on his chair . His complexion turned gloomy and he remained speechless for a long time .




The petite man’s corners of the mouth curled into a smile as he noticed that the elderly man didn’t resort to any action . He felt relieved and took his leave .
. . . …


The moonlight was bright and glittery that night . The buildings in the town looked magnificent, and it seemed as if they had been shrouded in a curtain of faint-silver luster of the moon .
Shi Mu sat on his bed with his legs crossed; he was currently in the hotel’s room . His eyes were closed, and he was absorbed in his practice .
Suddenly, his heart throbbed as an image appeared in his mind .
It was the image of a line of sixteen beastly-robed warriors . They held long spears in their hands . They were flooding into the hotel’s front gate at this moment . A petite man and a dark-skinned youth stood timidly on the sidelines as ‘yes-man’ .
Shi Mu stood up, shoved open the door, and walked out the room . He then quietly stood and waited in the courtyard for a long time .
A moment later, a person’s silhouette flashed at the door of the courtyard . A beastly-robed man flushed in the courtyard . He was a tall middle-aged man who seemed to possess an overwhelming might .
He was startled when his eyes fell on Shi Mu who quietly stood in the center of the courtyard . Consequently, his footsteps slowed down, and he approached Shi Mu slowly .
Then, a person’s silhouette flashed behind that man . And, fifteen beastly-robed martial warriors rushed-in at once . They stood on both sides like trained warriors . They quickly formed three small spear-arrays . Each array had five men, and was plum-shaped . They had soon made an encirclement around Shi Mu .
A very formidable and profound aura could be felt around the beastly-robed middle-aged man . He was surprisingly a Xian Tian primary-stage powerhouse .
Only three of these men were Hou Tian advanced stage warriors . These three were leading the groups . And, the remaining people were merely Hou Tian middle stage warriors .
Moreover, the triangle-eyed man whom Shi Mu had seen before was also there . He was also one of the three Hou Tian advanced-stage men who was leading a group . He had taken his position behind Shi Mu .
"I didn’t expect that Your Excellency would be a Xian Tian warrior . No wonder you dare to meddle in the matter of our Bestial Mountain Sect . I am Bai Shao Feng of the Bestial Mountain Sect . May I ask Your Excellency’s surname, and which Sect he belongs to?" the middle-aged man said . Then, he moved a step forward in a calm and collected manner .
The triangle-eyed man’s body quivered as he heard these words .
"I'll tell you if you beat me," Shi Mu replied .




"Well, it’s a deal!" Mr Bai laughed and said .
His voice had barely faded when he stomped his right foot on the ground . Then, his stature darted towards Shi Mu like a wild beast while carrying a strong gust of wind .
The spear he held in his hand suddenly exuded bright silver light . Then, a thick layer of silver luminescence bubbled up and enveloped the spear . He then thrust it forward in a fierce manner .
A ten-feet-long silver leopard appeared . Two of its feet sprang from the silver luminescence of the spearhead . It seemed as if it was flying in the air . It pounced towards Shi Mu . And, it seemed to be carrying a wisp of Demon Qi .
A layer of blue light emerged on the spear-head of all the men who stood in the three spear-arrays as this happened . Then, a blue wolf head appeared in front of each spear-arrays; each one was five feet in size .
After that, three spear-arrays were activated . "Chi Chi" the three blue wolf-heads rushed towards Shi Mu from three directions with a shrill ear-deafening sound . They were about to launch a converging attack on him . And, they had sealed up all escape routes .
However, Shi Mu didn’t budge an inch from his original place . Only a layer of white radiance emerged on his left hand, and his whole body was enveloped by a layer of a white shield as a result . His right hand moved, and a shadow flashed behind his body . The short stick appeared in his hand, and got covered by a layer of blue light .
Then, Shi Mu wielded his hand, and a mountain-like blue stick shadow darted out . It severely pounded the wolf-head that had been condensed by the spear-array on his left .
Shi Mu turned his head as this happened . Then, he opened his mouth, and spouted five continuous white Qi towards the blue wolf-head of the spear array to his right .
"Boom" a loud rumble was heard .
Meanwhile, the silver leopard pounded on the pale-blue protective-shield, and a burst of dazzling silver light flashed . The pale-blue shield trembled violently by this impact . Consequently, the shield’s brightness slightly dimmed . But, it surprisingly didn’t rupture .
On the other side, a mountain-like blue stick shadow and five masses of white Qi also smashed against the blue wolf heads on both sides .
A series of dull thumping sound resounded!
The two wolf-heads got twisted and burst out . The shadows of ten individuals were sent flying backwards by the impact — like the clouds scudding across the sky . They rolled on the ground for some time . Then, they lost their consciousness .
However, the last spear array’s blue wolf-head pounced toward Shi Mu from behind .
"Boom" a loud rumble echoed .
Blue and white colored light burst out as the wolf-head struck the blue light shield . The wolf-head exploded and dispersed with a loud sound . However, the magic characters that were continuously roaming on the pale-blue shield seemed to be on the verge of becoming transparent . But, it still wasn’t defeated and dispersed by this attack .
Shi Mu suddenly whirled around, opened his mouth, and spurted out five more masses of white Qi at a stretch .
"Boom!"
The spear array of the triangular-eyed man was excessively close to the white Qi airwaves . Hence, his men were sent flying backwards by the intense impact . They crashed severely on the ground, and didn’t wake up .
Suddenly, Shi Mu sensed a surging wave of magic power at the top of his head . Then, a black light flashed in the air . A black beast cage appeared before him out of nowhere, and enveloped him .
Bai Shao Feng’s stature moved, and he dashed toward Shi Mu .
A dazzling silver light beam emerged on his spearhead . Then, the spearhead suddenly grew five times bigger, and started to look like dazzling silver rays of light . It then penetrated through the black beast cage, and thrust toward Shi Mu .
Shi Mu was unable to evade the attack since he was trapped inside the cage
Suddenly, he issued a loud shout "Die!"
The short stick in his hand exuded a glaring blue light . He then brandished it in front of him, and multiple overlapping layers of mountain-like stick shadows appeared in front of him out of thin air . They then formed seven layers of overlapping blue light-mountains to welcome the huge silver spearhead .
A tyrannical force erupted as the silver spear-head touched the first mountain-like shield . They left the glaring blue light and the silver spearhead shaking in a fierce manner for a moment .
After that, the second and the third layer of light-mountain were struck .
"Bang" a loud explosive sound was heard .
The gigantic silver spearhead was eventually routed and dispersed . Moreover, an enormous force cascaded down along the spearhead, and left Bai Shao Feng to feel stuffy in his heart . He couldn’t endure, and retreated a few steps back in quick succession .
Fortunately, Shi Mu couldn’t chase after him since he was trapped inside the black cage . Suddenly, the remaining four layers of blue light-mountain hit the black cage in a forceful manner .
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" a chain of explosions rang out in the air .
A ball of green light exploded . Then, an overwhelming force was released . This left the best cage to tremble endlessly . Several black-colored magic characters began to appear on the surface of the cage . And, the beast cage again became completely secured with a flash of light .
"He he, You Excellency is trapped inside the ‘Trapping Beast Charm’ . There’s no way you can come out of it unless you possess the strength of a Xian Tian advanced stage warrior . " Bai Shao Feng found a firm footing on the ground at first . He then said with a smile .
