Chapter 484: Ten Years Later
Chapter 484: Ten Years Later
February 10th, 2025
In a deep mountain range with towering trees and dense foliage, several figures were swiftly dashing through.
One figure was fleeing at the front, while the others were in pursuit.
Each figure exuded a powerful aura, causing the birds and beasts in the mountains to tremble and flee in all directions.
"Li Bao, don't even think about escaping. You violated the sacred mountain's decree and slaughtered the entire Miao family village, including hundreds of lives, for a mere spirit grass. Your crime deserves death!
Do you think that by hiding in this remote Qiao Prefecture, no one would know?
Even if you escape back to your sect, the Cang Mountain Sect would never dare to shelter you. Surrender now and come with us to the sacred mountain for your trial!"
As the figure in front continued to flee, it seemed to be getting further away.
The pursuers behind grew anxious, and the leader among them shouted.
"Hahaha... You little brats from the sacred mountain, catch up to me first before you talk!
I only killed some lowly mortals, and you want me to go to the sacred mountain and atone?
Pah! You sacred mountain's lapdogs, one day when my divine power is complete, I will flatten that so-called sacred mountain!
Even the three old fools of the sacred masters will kneel and beg for mercy under my feet!"
The figure, known as Li Bao, heard this and burst into laughter, his tone filled with arrogance.
The pursuers behind him were merely at the initial stage of the Xian Tian Realm.
With his lesser stage of the Xian Tian Realm cultivation, he was not afraid at all.
If not for his respect for the sacred mountain's reputation, he would have turned around and killed these brats in an instant!
"How dare you insult the sacred mountain and the sacred masters!"
The pursuers behind Li Bao heard this and immediately became furious.
As members of the sacred mountain's law enforcement team, the sacred mountain and the three sacred masters held an extremely high position in their hearts.
Hearing Li Bao's audacity in insulting the sacred mountain and the sacred masters, they couldn't help but be enraged.
In his anger, the leading youth took out a talisman from his pocket and activated it with his spiritual power.
The next moment, a bolt of thunderous light shot out from the talisman, heading straight for Li Bao.
"What?!"
Li Bao felt the sudden surge of deadly energy and was shocked. He couldn't continue fleeing and instinctively rolled to the side.
He felt a sharp pain in his right arm as the thunderous light grazed past him.
An intense explosion occurred in front of him.
"Ah! My right arm!"
Li Bao looked at his right side in horror. His right arm had disappeared, leaving only a small, charred stump attached to his body.
The thunderous light had completely severed and incinerated his right arm.
"Li Bao, where are you going to run now?"
As Li Bao clutched his severed arm, the pursuers behind him caught up and surrounded him, pointing their weapons at him.
The leading youth held a white talisman, aiming it directly at Li Bao.
The aura emanating from the talisman made Li Bao's heart race with fear.
"Li Bao, you have nowhere to run. Surrender now and come back to the sacred mountain with us!" the youth holding the talisman said calmly.
"Thunder Flash Talisman, I didn't expect that you, a mere initial stage of the Xian Tian Realm enforcer, would possess a Thunder Flash Talisman!" Li Bao exclaimed, feeling the deadly energy from the talisman.
He had heard that some of the sacred mountain's law enforcement teams had control over extremely mysterious talismans.
However, most of them were basic talismans like the Lightstep Talisman.
As for powerful talismans like the Thunder Flash Talisman, only enforcers at the greater stage of the Xian Tian Realm or even the Zhu Ji Realm would have a chance to control them.
He never expected that even in this small team of initial stage enforcers, there would be someone with a Thunder Flash Talisman.
No wonder these initial stage enforcers dared to pursue him, a lesser stage of the Xian Tian Realm cultivator who was almost at the greater stage.
"Thanks to you, I have to use the Thunder Flash Talisman that I've been saving up for so long." The young man's heart ached as he recalled this.
The Thunder Flash Talisman was something he had earned through countless merits and had finally exchanged for.
Originally, he had intended to use it as a trump card, but now he had to use it for this mission ahead of time.
Little did he know that the Thunder Flash Talisman could only be used three times at most.
He had already used it once during a previous crisis.
After using it this time, the Thunder Flash Talisman would only have one last use left.
"Even if I capture Li Bao and earn the merits, it can't make up for this loss." The young man's heart was bleeding.
For this capture, he had initially made perfect preparations.
He had even sought the help of Tenji Tower's experts to calculate Li Bao's hiding place.
However, what he didn't expect was that Li Bao actually knew a highly skilled Lightstep Technique.
Even after they used the Lightstep Talisman, Li Bao still managed to shake them off repeatedly, taking advantage of his familiarity with the terrain.
As the effect of the Lightstep Talisman was about to wear off, if Li Bao escaped again, their mission would fail.
Left with no choice, the young man could only grit his teeth and use his ultimate move.
"Seal his cultivation and tie him up!" The young man's gaze turned sharp as he looked at Li Bao.
"Yes!"
The other members of the law enforcement team responded in unison.
They took out the Magic Needles and inserted them into Li Bao's vital acupoints, completely sealing his cultivation. Then, they bound him with sturdy ropes made from the sinew of a powerful beast.
Throughout the process, the young man maintained a Soul Talisman aimed at Li Bao, ensuring he wouldn't dare to make any sudden moves.
At such a close distance, with the aura of the Soul Talisman enveloping him, any movement from Li Bao would undoubtedly trigger an attack from the Thunder Flash Talisman.
Just a brush of the talisman would sever one of his arms.
If it hit him directly, he would undoubtedly die.
Li Bao understood this as well, so he didn't resist, allowing them to seal and bind him.
However, his expression was filled with despair.
He knew the style of the Holy Mountain; the sin he had committed this time was indeed grave.
Once he was brought back to the Holy Mountain, he would either face immediate execution or an unknown number of years in prison.
The young man and his team didn't care about Li Bao's thoughts.
This man was willing to massacre an entire village for a single spiritual grass.
Calling him a vicious and heartless villain wouldn't be an exaggeration.
As members of the Holy Mountain's law enforcement team, they despised scum like him who indiscriminately slaughtered innocent people.
If it weren't for the need to bring him back to claim the merits, they would have ended his life right there.
The other squad members shared the same sentiment.
So, after sealing and binding Li Bao, they didn't show any courtesy. They carried him and prepared to return to the Holy Mountain to report their mission.
There weren't any more obstacles on their way back.
The law enforcement squad from the Holy Mountain was a force to be reckoned with.
Even the most powerful sects who had attended the Sacred Assembly in Central State a decade ago would treat them with respect and not dare to offend them.
After all, they represented the Holy Mountain.
Within the Holy Mountain, not only were there the three Sage Masters, but behind them stood that one person.
Anyone who had attended the Sacred Assembly in Central State ten years ago knew just how terrifying that person was.
As the young man and his team hurried back, they finally reached Central State.
In the distance, the majestic Holy Mountain came into view, and a passionate gleam appeared in their eyes.
