486: Li Mu meets the Saint

Meanwhile, Wang Cao, Weng Qinghua, Wang Jia, and Qin Zhe were desperately searching for a way out of this place.

At this moment, their bodies were covered in wounds of all sizes, and their once neat clothes were tattered, making them appear extremely disheveled.

The most severe injury belonged to Qin Zhe; the deep knife wound on his arm was almost bone-deep, causing anyone who saw it to gasp.

Although Wang Cao and Weng Qinghua were not as severely injured, they were panting heavily, their faces ashen.

Wang Jia, on the other hand, looked around anxiously, trying to find a way out.

The four endured the pain in their bodies as they trudged forward.

Qin Zhe slowly raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop, and said in a deep voice, "Let's pause here and rest for a while. After a brief recuperation, we'll continue our journey."

After speaking, he immediately began setting up a simple protective barrier in the spot where they planned to rest.

The barrier, though seemingly crude, possessed a magical aura, emitting a faint glow that subtly enveloped their area.

Wang Cao's eyes widened in disbelief, and he couldn't help but blurt out, "Setting up a barrier? Isn't this making a mountain out of a molehill?!"

Qin Zhe frowned slightly, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes, and explained, "Everyone is injured now. Although this simple barrier cannot withstand powerful attacks, it can at least provide us with a relatively safe environment, allowing us to rest peacefully for a moment and recover some strength."

Wang Jia, standing nearby, nodded gently, a look of approval on his face. He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Hmm, I can truly feel that there are indeed many Yao Beasts gathered nearby. Having such a barrier will certainly put us at ease."

As he spoke, he reached out and lightly touched the edge of the barrier, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Wang Cao, however, seemed a bit impatient. He picked up a bamboo stick, waved it haphazardly in the air, his eyes full of disdain, and scoffed, "They're just mere Yao Beasts. Watch me unleash my Divine Ability and instantly kill them!"

Before he finished speaking, he was about to act.

At this moment, Weng Qinghua slowly got up, walked to his side, and placed a hand on his shoulder, a hint of worry in his eyes, and gently shook his head, saying:

"I understand your eagerness, but the current situation is not as simple as just Yao Beasts. Besides Yao Beasts, there might also be hidden Vicious Beasts and uninvited invaders. Moreover, each of us is severely injured, so we must remain vigilant and proceed with caution."

Qin Zhe said with a serious expression, "Indeed. If we can successfully find Lan Kun and Qin Zhe and their group along the way, it will definitely be much safer. After all, an extra bit of strength means an extra layer of security."

Wang Cao nodded slightly and responded solemnly, "I understand. I've always been worried that those Yao Beasts would suddenly rush over and cause you harm."

Meanwhile, Li Mu, with a gentle smile, slowly approached, followed by Shi Niang, Xiang Wenyan, Hu Bingbing, the Li Family Patriarch, and Camilla.

Shi Niang's eyes were filled with emotion, and she said in a slightly trembling voice, "It's truly unimaginable. The number of invaders here is so vast. If one were here alone, it would be far too dangerous. Thankfully, heaven blessed me to meet you, Li Mu."

Li Mu smiled warmly and comforted her, "It's alright. Everyone who meets in the Dimensional Space should look out for each other. After all, there are many people with high Realm cultivation in the Dimensional Space. Only by uniting can we better deal with various situations."

Xiang Wenyan: "What looking out for each other? We were all saved by you..."

The Li Family Patriarch stepped forward with a grateful expression and said, "Speaking of which, I forgot to properly thank you just now, little brother.

The Medicinal Pill you gave me has truly miraculous effects. The injuries I sustained earlier have now completely healed, and the effects of this Medicinal Pill are far superior to those refined by my Alchemists. You've truly helped me a great deal."

At this moment, Camilla quietly followed at the very end of the group. She silently gazed at Li Mu, who was walking in front, a strange emotion welling up in her heart, as if she felt a unique power and sense of security emanating from him...

So he was the Li Mu whom everyone praised, and also the protagonist in that diary!

Recalling how she had almost died at the hands of those despicable invaders, it was as if fate had intervened. Li Mu, like a brilliant ray of light, suddenly appeared and unhesitatingly saved her life.

Along the way, the vicious invaders and ferocious Yao Beasts they encountered surged like a tide, completely surrounding her.

And the Medicinal Pill Qi she had originally stored, in this Dimensional Space, had already dwindled like fine sand in an hourglass, with very little left.

At that critical moment, when the sharp blade was about to pierce her chest, when the shadow of death mercilessly enveloped her entire body, Camilla truly felt a sense of despair welling up in her heart, almost giving up the struggle.

However, Li Mu's sudden appearance was like a beacon in the darkness, instantly making her feel the dawn of hope emerging.

He not only saved her life but also, when she most needed Medicinal Pills to sustain her vitality, unhesitatingly took out precious Medicinal Pills to heal her injuries.

One must know that they were originally strangers who had never met, yet he proved with his actions that he was indeed a truly great person, just as described in the diary.

How could such brave, selfless, and life-saving actions not inspire respect in others?

No wonder he was hailed as a hero; his deeds would surely be passed down through the ages in this land, becoming a role model for future generations to admire.

The group was chatting enthusiastically, yet, in this seemingly peaceful atmosphere, they were suddenly interrupted by an abrupt and authoritative voice.

The voice, like a grand bell, echoed in everyone's ears, "Human Race? And a Taiyi Golden Immortal at that. How interesting."

As the words slowly faded, a mysterious figure gradually emerged from the Void Realm.

At first glance, this person's face appeared extremely youthful, seemingly only thirteen or fourteen years old, yet his eyes held a profound depth, revealing wisdom and experience far beyond his age.

His voice was no longer as clear and melodious as a child's; instead, it carried a sense of vicissitude unique to an elderly person, as if it had undergone the baptism of countless years.

Li Mu: "Saint?"

Elder Mu, standing nearby, smiled and said softly, "You Human Race have some insight, but unfortunately, you're about to die."

Upon hearing this, Shi Niang and the others were instantly stunned, their faces showing expressions of disbelief.

Saint?

One must know that Li Mu was merely a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Compared to a Saint, there was a world of difference. How could such a gap be bridged, and how could they fight against him?
