C4 Fall off a cliff

Looking at the fine iron eagle plume arrow on the ground, Li Mu's pupils shrank. He realized that there were two big words carved on the arrow — Shadow Killer.

"Friends of the Shadow Door, please show yourself. I, Li Mu, have never offended you, why would you want to assassinate me?"

Li Mu's eyes were like lightning, staring straight at the forest in the distance as he shouted loudly.

The Shadow Door was a huge assassination organization and its power was located in the surrounding cities of the Sunset Cloud City. It was rumored that there were Innate realm experts overseeing the operation.

Shadow Door usually took on assassinations missions, regardless of status or family, as long as they could afford it, there were no people they couldn't kill.

Although Li Mu had never gone far, he had heard of some of the powers within Muyun City. Thus, when he saw the carved arrow, he immediately knew the identity of the person who had come.

"Hahaha, as expected of a genius from the Li Family. He's so young, yet he knows of the existence of my Shadow Door!"

In the face of Li Mu's shouts, five figures walked out from the forest in the distance. All five of them were dressed in black, with their faces covered with cloth, and held swords and bows in their hands.

"Everyone, how have I offended you all?" Although he was unable to use his elemental energy, the unique sensing ability of the Pre-Sky Realm did not affect him in the slightest. Among the five opponents, three of them were solid, three of them were at the early Houtian realm, and one at the middle Houtian realm.

"Our Shadow Door has always been accepting money to help others get rid of their affliction. Kid, you have not offended our Shadow Door, but you offended our employer. Someone spent fifty thousand silver to take your life, you cannot blame us!"

Five disciples of the Shadow Door surrounded Li Mu, and one of them, the one who was obviously the leader, laughed coldly, the person with the highest cultivation, who was at least a mid stage precelestial.

"Fifty thousand taels of silver is such a huge sum of money. A cripple like me who doesn't have much time left is actually worth that much money. My five friends, seeing that I am about to die, can you make me understand who is trying to take my life time and time again?"

"Brat, don't even think about prying into my words. Among all the rules of my Shadow Door, revealing the information of your employer is the biggest taboo. In any case, it's death so you should go and rest in peace! "Before I die, I can tell you, my code name is Shadow 49."

The leader of the Shadow Door waved her hand, and all the people of Shadow Door shot their bows and arrows at Li Mu.

Li Mu subconsciously retreated, but at this moment, he was at the peak of Setting Sun Summit. Not far away from him was a towering cliff, and he had nowhere to retreat to.

I'll accept it in your hands today, but I'm very curious. Although many people know that I am poisoned and am unable to use my Essence, but for me to leave the Li Family, other than the limited number of people in the Li Family, it's impossible for anyone else to know about it.

"You're a dying man anyways, so I'll reveal something to you. You guessed right, the mastermind was indeed related to your Li family, but as for who, you should ask Hades!"

As Ying 49 finished speaking, the broadknife in his hand lit up with a yellow light, it was one of the symbols of the sword that had been infused with vitality. The broadknife flashed with yellow light, transforming into a blade image that slashed towards Li Mu.

"Clang!" With a crisp sound, Li Mu gathered all of the strength in his body and waved his sword to meet it. However, as a person who was unable to use his vitality, how could he, who was only relying on brute force, be a match for his opponent? Under his opponent's blade, he was forced to take a few steps back.

"Can't you let me go? In the future, when I return to the Li Clan, I will definitely repay the Li Clan's kindness! " Looking at the hundred and fifty meter tall cliff behind him, and then looking at the five people from Shadow Door, Li Mu clenched his fists tightly, feeling a little unresigned.

"If we let you go back, will we still be able to live?" Give me your life! " After saying that, Ying Forty-nine took out the longbow on his back. He drew an arrow from the bow, and at the same time, a stream of Essence Qi poured into the refined iron eagle plume arrow in his hand.

Along with Ying forty-nine streams of Yuan Qi pouring into the arrow, the arrow began glowing with a faint yellow light, and a destructive power started spreading out from the arrow.

Sensing the terror of the arrows, Li Mu looked hatefully at the five people in front of him. Without waiting for them to attack, he decisively turned around and jumped off the thirty thousand meter tall cliff.

This was the first time Li Mu felt that he was floating in the air, even though the death knell was ringing, he still felt that it was very strange.

In the end, Li Mu felt that he was too tired, he was too tired from living. Even if he had many regrets, such as the news about his own mother, the Li Clan's people who tried to poison him, the peak of their martial arts that he had yearned for in his time, all of these would eventually disappear with the passing of today.

The sound of the wind beside his ears was still hurried, but just as Li Mu was about to die, an invisible force suddenly surged forth from one side, it seemed to be a berserk Qi flow, under its effect, Li Mu felt the sky spinning and the earth spinning, as though it had struck something.

Li Mu felt dizzy and his head hurt. He did not have the time to open his eyes to size up before he fainted.

On Setting Sun Summit, the forty-five man team members looked at each other in dismay. Li Mu jumping off the cliff was somewhat out of their expectations.

"Chief, that kid jumped down just like that. I'm afraid his employer won't be able to explain when we get back!"

A Shadow Door disciple said towards Shadow Forty-nine with some misgivings.

We can't stop him even if he wants to jump off the cliff. This Sunset Cliff is so deep that we can't see the bottom, not to mention a mere early Houtian realm boy like him, even a Xiantian realm expert wouldn't be able to survive if they fell down. I don't believe that the other party will go against my Shadow Door just for this! Ying Forty-nine sinisterly laughed, and then left with the other four people without turning back.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Mu blurrily opened his eyes. The moment he regained consciousness, his first feeling was pain, especially to his head. The pain made him grind his teeth, and after the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the pain slowly faded away.

Li Mu also didn't know why he hadn't died yet. After carefully thinking about it, he only remembered that before he fainted, he seemed to have been swept away by a strange air current, and finally fainted upon colliding with something. Other than that, he had no other impression of himself.

Using the light rays coming from the hole, Li Mu was able to see his current environment. This was a cave, the cave was not wide, it was only about three to four meters, but it was very long, with no end in sight.

"What is this place!?" It should not be the bottom of Sunset Peak! "

Li Mu slowly stood up, he was in a sorry state, his clothes were tattered and his blood stained all over, many parts of his body were rubbed together, but luckily, all of them were small injuries and not even his bones and muscles.

After walking around, Li Mu did not discover anything special. This cave was very ordinary, other than a few tunnels in front of him that led to some unknown places, there was nothing special about it.

In the end, Li Mu walked to the entrance of the cave where the light was coming from. Generally speaking, a place with light would be the exit.

"Holy sh * t!" When he reached the cave entrance, he could not help but curse. This cave entrance was actually opened at the edge of a cliff. If he was not careful and did not step out, he might have fallen off by now.

"Could it be …" Could it be that this cave is located on the precipice of Sunset Peak? "

"Yes!" This must be the only explanation. I clearly fell off a cliff, but I didn't die, so I must have been caught in the air by some kind of air current and was sucked into this cave! "

Li Mu had already roughly guessed the cause and effect of the matter. While feeling deeply that he had not died from the calamity, he was also feeling depressed, because he didn't know how he should leave this place.

"We don't know the bottom of this place until we reach the top. I don't know how high we are above the ground. Unless we put on wings, there's no way we can leave this place!"

Li Mu didn't know whether this was luck or sadness, but he was currently in a dilemma.

"I can't hope to leave through this entrance, but I don't know if there are any other exits. Since I have nothing better to do, I might as well explore for a while." Li Mu pondered for a while as he walked into a passage at the other end of the cave.

The cave was connected in all directions, it was unknown if it was man-made or natural, but as they went deeper, Li Mu's face became more and more unsightly.

This cave seemed to have no end, not to mention how far the passage was, but the fact that this passage was connected to all directions and there were many forks in the road, making it seem as if there was no end to it. Even with Li Mu's astonishing memory, under the dim light, he had no choice but to stop.

"This cave must have been man-made, otherwise it would have been so difficult!" Li Mu muttered to himself, just as he was hesitating about how to escape from the trap, his expression suddenly changed, and became surprised.

"The fifteenth time! There are actually rules to follow. " Li Mu muttered to himself. The reason he said that was because ever since he entered the tunnel, he would occasionally feel a hot wind blowing out from the depths of the tunnel.

This hot wind was not strong, so strong that normal people would not be able to feel it. In the beginning, Li Mu did not pay too much attention to it, but many times, he was able to clearly feel it through his sharp senses.

"Logically speaking, a place with wind should also be the exit location. Since there's a pattern, we might as well use it as a clue to keep going forward!"

Li Mu thought for a while before making up his mind. He headed towards the direction of the hot wind.

Just like this, Li Mu followed the hot wind that spread out once in a while to determine the direction they were coming from, and walked for nearly an hour.

"Why is it so hot, could the source of the hot wind be a fire pulse?" Li Mu wiped the sweat off his face, looking at the tunnel that he could not see the end of it with shock.

As Li Mu went deeper and deeper, he realized that the temperature in the cave was growing higher and higher, as though he was nearing a huge stove. If not for the fact that his body was being trained in the solid state, he might not be able to hold on.

After he walked forward for another few hundred meters, a terrifying heat wave pervaded the entire passage, and the beads of sweat that were as big as beans continuously dripped from Li Mu's face.

Li Mu felt like he was in a furnace, no matter how strong his body was after breaking through to the tenth layer of the solid state, it was still unbearable under this kind of terrifying temperature.

"What kind of place is this? Why is it so hot? Could it be that this is the heart of a volcano? I've never heard of the name Sunset Peak being a volcano!"

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Li Mu panted heavily. He even suspected that he would die from dehydration before he could reach his destination.

"Hmm? There was light! Could it be an exit!? " Just as Li Mu was deciding whether or not he should continue, a fiery red light suddenly appeared in front of him.
