Chapter 352: Sihai Gang

Mount Longyun is more than a thousand miles away from Guiyunfang and is already at the edge of the Fuyun Mountain Range. In order to hide his tracks well, Li Mu did not fly with his sword the whole way this time and spent several hours more than his usual travel speed before quietly arriving here.

This mountain was originally a first-grade mid-quality spiritual vein, and there were all kinds of low-tier demon beasts entrenched in the vicinity all year round. After the demon beast turmoil decades ago, taking advantage of the fact that many demon beasts around the Fuyun Mountain Range died in the turmoil, several loose cultivators in the Qi Condensation stage took advantage of the fact that there were no demon beasts on Mount Longyun and joined forces to occupy this mountain, opening up a cave dwelling to cultivate here all year round.

Unfortunately, good times did not last long. Before a few years had passed, many demon beasts began to gradually migrate southward from the depths of the Fuyun Mountain Range. Overnight, the vicinity of this spiritual mountain was re-occupied by the demon beasts that had permeated through, and those few loose cultivators could not bear the long-term harassment of many demon beasts and could only take the initiative to abandon the cave dwelling and leave this mountain.

Now, because there are quite a few demon beasts entrenched in this place on Mount Longyun, although there are no people in the vicinity, it can still occasionally attract some loose cultivator demon-hunting teams to come here to look for demon beasts.

Li Mu carefully stood at a relatively hidden place at the foot of the mountain and hid his figure. When he first arrived here, he had already observed the surroundings of this spiritual mountain for half a day, and he didn't even see a shadow of a person. He didn't know whether those Sihai Gang cultivators he was looking for were still in the vicinity.

Just as Li Mu was carefully observing the surroundings, suddenly, beside a small hill opposite Mount Longyun, two somewhat sneaky figures appeared.

Seeing someone appear in the vicinity, Li Mu hurriedly put on the Hidden Spirit Shirt and carefully followed behind these two people to see where they would go.

I saw these two people carefully avoiding the demon beasts in the vicinity. After arriving at a forest under the small hill and walking forward for dozens of steps, the figures of these two people suddenly disappeared into a green wood forest.

Li Mu, who was following behind, did not show much surprise when he saw this scene and directly put away the Hidden Spirit Shirt, slowly revealing his figure.

"Hehe! I said that I had wandered around Mount Longyun for half a day and didn't see any shadow of a person. So they were hiding here."

The purpose of Li Mu going down the mountain this time was naturally to help Feng He find a suitable target for possession. The reason he targeted this group of people from the Sihai Gang was that he heard that there was a person with good spirit roots among this group of loose cultivators.

The Sihai Gang, like the Huolang Gang that Li Mu had seen when he saved Shi Chun back then, are all loose cultivator organizations mixing around the Fuyun Mountain Range. These people, relying on their large numbers, often bully those loose cultivator demon-hunting teams that enter the Fuyun Mountain Range, snatching the demon beast corpses or spiritual items they obtained with hard work.

Such loose cultivator organizations do not like to fight hard with demon beasts and always think about relying on snatching others to survive. Some of their actions still have a bottom line, only snatching spiritual items and not harming human lives, while some with poor bottom lines and notorious reputations are basically no different from those bandit cultivators in Eagle Nest Ridge.

For these loose cultivator organizations that are not very obedient and often make trouble, Guiyunfang naturally will not welcome them. On the contrary, some loose cultivator organizations with notorious names will also appear on the wanted list issued by Guiyunfang.

It is precisely because of this reason that Li Mu felt that these people were a very good target to take action against. These people are all on Guiyunfang's wanted list. Even if they are killed directly outside, no one in the Wei State will come out to pursue this matter.

After leaving Mount Funiu, Li Mu came directly to Guiyunfang and began to secretly inquire about the news of these wanted loose cultivator forces in Guiyunfang from many sides.

The leader of the Sihai Gang is a Qi Condensation ninth-layer cultivator named Wang Sihai. Although this person is from a loose cultivator background, his cultivation speed is very fast, and he had already cultivated to the ninth layer of Qi Condensation before he was fifty years old. It is rumored that this person is very likely a dual spirit root cultivator with outstanding spirit roots.

When Wang Sihai first entered the Dao in his early years, he once married into a Foundation Establishment family. After having a stable spiritual land, his cultivation base also improved very fast. But because of his status as a son-in-law, he was never trusted in the family, and his status was extremely low. In anger, he abandoned his Daoist partner and left that family, becoming a loose cultivator again. Since then, he began to mix around Guiyunfang.

More than ten years ago, Wang Sihai's cultivation base broke through to the late stage of Qi Condensation, and he established the Sihai Gang with a few like-minded people. He originally wanted to make friends from all over the world and go out to hunt demon beasts together.

It is a pity that what he thought was too simple. Since the establishment of the Sihai Gang, it has been repeatedly squeezed out by surrounding loose cultivator forces and gangs. Wang Sihai is also a person who is unwilling to suffer losses. After several fights, the Sihai Gang offended many people and it was difficult to gain a foothold in Guiyunfang.

In a fit of anger, Wang Sihai simply took his brothers and left Guiyunfang, beginning to mix in the Fuyun Mountain Range. In order to survive and cultivate, besides daily demon hunting, these people also began to take action against other loose cultivators entering the Fuyun Mountain Range. Over time, the Sihai Gang and Wang Sihai and others all ended up on Guiyunfang's wanted list.

After finding out the place where the Sihai Gang was hiding, Li Mu no longer hid his tracks, walked out swaggeringly, and came directly to that forest.

Seeing those two people walk here and suddenly disappear before, Li Mu had already seen that this place had been hidden by a formation.

Although this concealment formation was somewhat exquisite and could deceive those low-tier demon beasts in the vicinity, in front of Li Mu, a second-grade formation master, it still appeared somewhat insufficient.

"Knowing how to set up a phantom formation, it seems that there is also a formation master among these guys!"

Li Mu observed the surroundings patiently, muttered to himself, took out a few formation flags he carried with him from his storage bag, inserted them into the positions of the formation eyes in the surroundings, and began to prepare to set up a method to break the formation.

"This Senior, please do not destroy the great formation we have set up. May I ask what instructions you have? Please tell us directly, so that we can also relieve your worries."

Li Mu had just started to cast spells when he saw this green wood forest suddenly blur for a while, revealing another scene. Li Mu looked carefully and realized that it was the cultivator who controlled the phantom formation inside who had taken the initiative to lift this phantom formation.

Not long after, seven or eight figures walked out from the side and walked quickly to Li Mu, bowing and saluting.

Among these people, the leader was a middle-aged man wearing blue clothes. Li Mu looked at this person and found that he looked somewhat different from Wang Sihai on Guiyunfang's wanted list, so he asked a question: "Are you people from the Sihai Gang?"

Facing Li Mu, who was wearing a bamboo hat and could not see his face clearly, the blue-clothed cultivator answered somewhat nervously: "We are indeed from the Sihai Gang. I don't know what instructions you have, Senior, for coming here to find us."

"Are you Wang Sihai? Why do you look somewhat unlike him!"
