Chapter 208 A Powerful Warlock?

Still, he did not want to hurry back.

Sitting cross-legged amid the Leaping Dragon Formation that was shut down for the moment, Li Mu began to review the gains of this secret practice. Bit by bit, all the energy settled down and transformed into real combat ability.

When he took a look inside his body, he made one more discovery.

That wisp of Natural qi, which was as thin as a hair before, now made about 10 of its original width. It seemed that as he practiced the fourth style of the Zhenwu Boxing, the Grasping the Birds Tail, his internal qi and Natural qi also circulated automatically inside him and were nurtured and enhanced as well.

At this rate, in one year tops, I can refine all my internal qi into Natural qi and enter the Celestial Being Realm.

Li Mu felt more and more confident about his future.

In comparison with yesterday, today his strength had grown by leaps and bounds. If other people knew he had become even more powerful, they would probably be scared out of their wits. With his renewed strength, Li Mu was sure that if he ever encountered an opponent like the Heaven-Sword Celestial Being who suddenly reached the Natural Realm the other day during their duel, he could kill the opponent like chaff instead of wasting a long time to tussle with him.

Another two hours flew by.

Its time to go back.

Li Mu left the military cemetery.

Ive been gone for one day and one night. Hua Xiangrong must be worrying about me.

Miss Hua, please come with us anyway.

A young man in flying fish clothing (a uniform for imperial guards with patterns of a python with fins and a fishtail) was standing in front of Hua Xiangrong. The business-like look he cast at the girl was commingled with a hint of ill-disguised lust, because it really took him by surprise that the Hua Xiangrong from the Holy House was so beautiful that her beauty was beyond his imagination.

Xiner, the maid, had tightly grasped Hua Xiangrongs hand.

Beside them, Bai Xuan forced a fawning smile and said, Your Honor, Huaer did know Young Master Li Mu, but she had no clue on his whereabouts. Nor could she be his accomplice or anything. As you know, our Holy House is a business place. Anyone here is our customer. And Li Mu is merely a customer of Huaer. So, I think you may have gotten it all wrong, havent you?

But that young man in flying fish clothing laughed coldly. Then, he snapped, Everyone in the city of Changan knows that recently Li Mu has spent all nights at Miss Huas place. He favors Miss Hua only. I never say Miss Hua is surely his accomplice, but she has to go to the government with me and accept our investigation. I believe when Li Mu learns that Miss Hua is at the Supervisory Department, he will go there to turn himself in on his own accord.

How can you take her away now? Bai Xuan said anxiously, Huaer needs to participate in the Top Beauty Competition that will take place the day after tomorrow

Humph, what Top Beauty Competition? Is it more important than the laws and regulations of the empire? demanded the young man, whose expression hardened at once. Who dares to stop the Supervisory Department following a case? Madam Bai Xuan, I know you do have some influence in Changan. Nevertheless, I suggest you staying out of this case, which is none of your business in the first place. This case is supervised by Routing Supervisor Lu, who has been sent directly from the headquarters of the Supervisory Department in Qin City. Thus, it is not something you can meddle in.

Bai Xuan was now so edgy that sweat began beading on her forehead. But if the young man was truly determined to take Hua Xiangrong away, she did have no guts to stop him.

After all, everyone would turn pale at the names of those working in the Supervisory Department. They were more fearful than the officials in the administrative government. Rumors had it that the prison in the Supervisory Department was not better than the Shura Hell. Even men with willpower strong as iron would yield and beg for their mercy once they were jailed. Innumerable great figures that had once overrun the whole world completely vanished from the mortal world after they were arrested by the Supervisory Department.

Where on earth did Li Mu go? Its been a whole day and a whole night since we last saw him. Did he really flee away without facing his conviction?

If so, he has really left Huaer in a dreadful situation!

Bai Xuans heart was torn with anxiety.

However, what everyone did not expect was that Hua Xiangrong, a concerned person in this case, looked quite composed at this moment. She shook her head softly and said in a bland but as-a-matter-of-fact tone, I wont go anywhere until Brother Mu comes back. If I go with you, when he returns and cant find me, he will get worried.

The young man was taken aback by her remark. He never knew a popular prostitute in a brothel could still stay calm when hearing the title of the Supervisory Department. But he soon smiled, then, threatened, Im afraid this is not up to you to decide.

Routing Supervisor Lu had made it clear to everyone that he was going to take Li Mu down. Since this Natural Expert had no strong backing, the Supervisory Department had no fear of him no matter how genius he was. There were already some Natural Experts who died in the prison of the Supervisory Department in the past few years. Accordingly, capturing a prostitute who had wound up in the Musical House by force was far less challenging. Adding that Hua Xiangrongs beauty was so stunning, so beyond his wildest dream, the greed and desire burning inside the young man spurred him to make the decision that he would take the girl to the Supervisory Department no matter what. And once she was landed in jail, this drop-dead gorgeous woman would be totally at his mercy.

Do not push me into this! Hua Xiangrong took a step forward and shielded her maid, Xiner, behind her back.

She looked resolute to resist. Her eyes were already flashing signals of a desperate fight.

After practicing the simplified Xiantian Skill, Hua Xiangrongs spiritual force and intuition became incredibly sharp. She had easily picked up that vicious, scorching desire of having her by force in the eyes of that young officer of the Supervisory Department. Plainly, there would be no return once she was really thrown into the prison of the Supervisory Department. She could already picture the horrible things that would happen to her without much thinking.

But her heart, her body, her chastity, and everything she had belonged to her Brother Mu.

If the man simply had to bring her back, she would fight him. Even if she might get killed, she was willing to because she would turn into a ghost belonging to her Brother Mu all the same.

She was determined that in her lifetime, she would not allow anyone else to see her dance or her body.

Oh? The young officer was a little astounded. But soon he broke into a roar of laughter. Haha, want to resist me? Youre merely a hooker. How can you fight me off? Haha, dont humiliate yourself, girl. Otherwise, when you arrive in the prison of the Supervisory Department, youll find 72 terrible ways of tormenting people waiting for you. When that time comes, haha

But before his words faded, his cold laughter stopped abruptly.

Because a wave of fierce energy fluctuation of warlock magic surged up in the room.

Hua Xiangrong gently lifted a hand. On her delicate hand as of carved out of a perfect jade was a shining electric ball that was issuing sparks of purple lightning. Slowly, it swelled up. That bursting electric sparks and the vague but quite vigorous fluctuation of magic power all advertised the frightening destructive power inside that electric ball.

A six-star warlock?

No, she is even stronger than that!

The young man in flying fish clothing gawked at Hua Xiangrong with rounded eyes and wide opened mouth, unable to believe what he saw.

The intelligence the Supervisory Department had obtained never mentioned that the most popular girl in the Holy House was also a powerful warlock who had surpassed the six-star level.
