I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 874: Chapter 460: Return to the Southern Wilderness (Part 1)

As an Artifact Refining Grandmaster, Li Mu’s appearance, exposed tracks, participation in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion auction, large-scale bidding, entry into the Celestial Secret Tower, and all high-profile actions immediately drew the attention of many High-Tier Cultivators and also the notice of the Demon Abyssal Forces in the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region.

However, Li Mu’s high-profile actions actually had deeper intentions. He risked being baited, aiming to draw the Demon Abyssal Forces’ attention away from the Seven Profound Sect, preventing an attack that could damage the High-tier Spirit Plants cultivated within the Seven Profound Sect.

On this journey, two Integration Sword Cultivators and many High-Tier Cultivators from Profound Celestial Sword Sect were accompanying him. Even though the Demon Abyssal Forces knew of his tracks, without gathering their strength, they dare not act rashly. Once entering the South Wilderness Spirit Realm, Sword Master Feng, Sword Master Chen, and others would support, ensuring safety is not a concern.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a month passed with the cultivators of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect preparing anxiously. They have formed a fleet consisting of countless Spirit Swords ranging in sizes, setting off from Celestial Star Island, racing towards the South Wilderness Spirit Realm.

Not long after, Chi Mo received news conveyed from the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region concerning Li Mu’s information. His expression turned serious as he immediately presented the intelligence to the three Demon Lords.

”Demon Lord, Li Mu appeared in the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region!”

Chi Mo handed the secret letter to the Soul-devouring Demon Lord, reporting.

”What? He actually ran to the South Wilderness Spirit Realm!” The Soul-devouring Demon Lord took the secret letter, scanning the contents with a drastic change in complexion, anger apparent on his face.

They traveled from the South Wilderness Spirit Realm to the Central State Spirit Realm intending to accomplish the task given by the Bu Mie Demon God, to eliminate Li Mu, a potential threat. Yet unexpectedly, that kid Li Mu fled to the South Wilderness Spirit Realm.

The Soul-devouring Demon Lord took a deep breath, unable to calm the anger within his heart.

”Brother, what should we do now? Should we immediately return to the South Wilderness Spirit Realm?” The Shadow Demon Lord looked at the Soul-devouring Demon Lord, showing anxiousness. Their task was enforced by the Bu Mie Demon God, and if not resolved soon, the consequences would be dire.

The Blood Refining Demon Lord clenched his fist, his eyes flashing with a fierce gleam, gritting his teeth he said, ”This kid is extremely cunning, but we can’t be led by him. Since he dares to come to our territory, we must ensure he cannot leave!”

The Soul-devouring Demon Lord took a deep breath, calmed his internal anger, his eyes gleaming with rational light. He said deeply, ”Blood Refining makes sense. But we can’t be careless either. This kid possesses Array and Artifact Dual Mastery, capable of arranging a Teleportation Array. If we rashly head to the South Wilderness Spirit Realm, he might again use the array to escape. The Seven Profound Sect is his true nest, and if we leave the Central State Spirit Realm, it could give him a chance, leading to nothing gained.”

”Shadow, your concern is reasonable.” The Soul-devouring Demon Lord slightly nodded, thought flashing in his eyes: ”However, Li Mu heading deep into the South Wilderness Spirit Realm must have a purpose. Perhaps he is using this opportunity to search for something—could it be he discovered other Sealed Lands?”

”We cannot be led by him.” The Soul-devouring Demon Lord proposed: ”But we also can’t sit idly. I propose we act separately. Some stay in the Central State Spirit Realm to continue monitoring the movements of the Seven Profound Sect, while others return with us to the South Wilderness Spirit Realm to hunt down the kid.”

The Shadow Demon Lord thought for a moment, looking at the Blood Refining Demon Lord, proposing: ”Let’s do it this way, Blood Refining, you stay in Central State, while the two of us hurry back to the South Wilderness, using the Demon Abyss forces in the South Wilderness Spirit Realm, laying a trap so he has no place to escape.”

After the three Demon Lords discussed, they decided to proceed with this plan. They quickly allocated personnel, with some remaining in the Central State Spirit Realm, while others returned with them to the South Wilderness Spirit Realm.
