I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm-Chapter 247 - 173: "Sword Immortal Li

"I am Li Mu, the Artifact Refining Elder of Hundred Refinement Peak from Qing Xuan Sect. You must be fellow daoists from the Spirit Taming Sect!"

Li Mu smiled slightly and faced the silver-haired elder’s question, introducing himself in response.

Qing Xuan Sect, Elder Li?

The eight Nascent Soul True Monarchs exchanged glances, seemingly asking each other if anyone knew the background of this person.

The Spirit Taming Sect and Qing Xuan Sect are part of the Five Sects Alliance, with a friendship spanning thousands of years. By the time one reaches the level of Nascent Soul True Monarch, most are elders of their respective sects. With hundreds of years of old relationships, both sides are quite familiar with each other, and there’s usually a chance to have met.

However, the eight Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Spirit Taming Sect had unsteady gazes, obviously indicating none of them recognized this Elder Li from the Qing Xuan Sect.

Where did this guy come from?

"So, you’re a fellow daoist from the Qing Xuan Sect. There was just a battle here, wasn’t there? I wonder, who were you fighting against here? Could it be the demon cultivators from the Blood God Sect?" The silver-browed elder nodded at Li Mu, glanced around, and asked politely.

Linggu’s surroundings were a mess, with broken wood and huge craters filled with rampant spiritual power, clearly having experienced an intense battle. A Nascent Soul Demon Monarch’s corpse was ravaged beyond recognition; how such destructive power was unleashed is unknown!

"Yes, people from the Blood Demon Sect set up a blood array here; I happened to pass by and dealt with them!" Li Mu smiled slightly, nodded, and acknowledged.

Hearing this, the eight Nascent Soul True Monarchs were immediately relieved; they had asked the right person.

"I see. We received a warning from our sect and were preparing to remove the Blood God Sect’s people. Fellow Daoist Li, do you know whose corpse this Nascent Soul Demon Monarch is?" The silver-browed elder glanced at the mangled demon monarch’s corpse on the ground and asked Li Mu again.

"I do not know, but I do know that this person was extremely difficult to deal with. He possessed late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, wielded a tier five demon sword, and was full of demonic nature — truly formidable. He was the one who set up this Blood Sea Array. As for his specific identity, I am unaware." Li Mu smiled slightly and explained.

Listening to Li Mu’s description, the eight Nascent Soul True Monarchs couldn’t help but look at the ground, their spirits lifted as they saw the broken Blood Sea Demon Sword.

"A Tier Five Blood Demon Sword; if nothing else, this corpse should belong to the Blood Refining Demon Monarch, the sect master of the Blood God Sect!"

"The Blood Refining Demon Monarch is a Nascent Soul Peak cultivator, ready to promote to Divinity Transformation any time! Fellow Daoist Li actually took him down?"

"I’ve experienced the power of this Tier Five Blood Demon Sword in the hands of the Blood Refining Demon Monarch; there’s no mistake!"

"Fellow Daoist Li, you actually brought down the Blood Refining Demon Monarch on your own — truly remarkable!"

...

The Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Spirit Taming Sect speculated while inspecting the fallen broken sword and remains on the battlefield, roughly deducing his identity. They looked at Li Mu with eyes full of admiration.

The Blood Refining Demon Monarch was skilled in demonic techniques, committing countless killings over hundreds of years, earning an unmatched demonic reputation. His cultivation had reached Nascent Soul Perfection, ready to promote to a Venerable Divinity Transformation at any time, his prestige intimidating,

Going against the Blood Refining Demon Monarch alone, they had no confidence in victory, not to mention he held a fearsome tier five demon sword, coupled with his bizarre blood technique and sophisticated swordsmanship, making him invincible among those of the same tier.

Their purpose in traveling together on this mission was to prevent the Blood God Sect from birthing another Divinity Transformation powerhouse at any cost by slaying him.

In the end, the Blood Refining Demon Monarch was slain just like that, truly outside their expectations.

The Spirit Taming Sect’s Nascent Soul True Monarchs were both surprised and delighted, looking at Li Mu with eyes full of respect, wondering how he did it!

"Elder Li! The one you killed should be the Blood Refining Demon Monarch. We were just about to deal with him together, not expecting him to die at Elder Li’s hands, saving us a lot of trouble." The silver-browed elder looked at Li Mu with joy and introduced with a smile.

"Oh!" Li Mu nodded knowingly, not paying it much mind — having dealt with the Celestial Extinction Demon Venerable, a mere Nascent Soul Demon Monarch was no big deal — he disposed of him without much effort!

Seeing Li Mu’s indifferent attitude, the eight Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Spirit Taming Sect exchanged glances, finding it strange.

This Blood Refining Demon Monarch was a demon cultivator infamous for years, the sect master of the Blood God Sect, yet eliminating such a ’celebrity’ shouldn’t bring some happiness?

Just then, a red-haired, fire-robed Nascent Soul True Monarch carefully examined Li Mu, his eyes suddenly brightening as if he made a great discovery.

"Fellow Daoist Li, could you be that Sword Immortal Li who defeated the Celestial Extinction Demon Venerable?" The red-haired true monarch stared intently at Li Mu, asking in surprise and delight.

Hearing this, the remaining seven Nascent Soul True Monarchs simultaneously perked up.

"Sword Immortal Li, braving the Nine-Nine Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation, thwarting the Nine Demons Sect’s actions, forcing the Tian Jue Demon Venerable to flee — is that you?"

"..."

The cultivators of the Spirit Taming Sect could not contain their excitement, crowding around Li Mu with numerous questions.

This person claimed to be from the Qing Xuan Sect, specifically from Hundred Refinement Peak, skilled in artifact refining, bearing the surname Li, able to easily subdue Blood Refining Demon Monarch alone — all these pieces together pointed unmistakably to the ’Sword Immortal Li’!

Months ago, coming under siege by the Nine Demons Sect, the Qing Xuan Sect faced a brutal sect war, nearly facing annihilation.

At the critical moment, a Golden Core Cultivator weathered the Nine-Nine Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation. Despite the instability of their cultivation realm, they single-handedly opposed the Celestial Extinction Demon Venerable, turning the tide of the battle.

Eventually, with the assistance of Venerable Qingfeng, they deployed a myriad of sword arrays, destroying the Dharma Body and defeating the Celestial Extinction Demon Venerable, inflicting tremendous casualties on the Nine Demons Sect, thwarting their plans.
