After abdicating from the throne, his life was very comfortable, and he would occasionally bring his wife and Tian'er to visit other places in Fallen Leaf City. Sometimes he would even go to his house to fight with his old friends for a few games of Go, but the information he gave others was that he had really retired.
However, in the end, only Tao Li himself knew the situation. He wanted to observe if there were any students following him. Fortunately, he didn't notice anything unusual in the past few days, so he could officially go to the Black Cloaked Alliance.
In the early morning silence, the first rays of light in the broad forest outside of Yellowfall seeped cautiously into the pale blue of the sky, and the warmth of its first rays mingled with the coolness of the dying night.
Tao Li had left home early to go to the ruined temple. This way, he would not be easily discovered by others. Moreover, he would also have to wear the face that the Black Cloaked Alliance sent him. He should be absolutely safe.
Earth Awakened and Mu Jin also stood outside the temple in the early morning, waiting for Tao Li. A master must enjoy high standards of treatment, not to mention a rare master.
"Will there be any problems?" Earth Awakening said worriedly. He hadn't even seen Tao Li's figure.
Mu Jin shook his head. Tao Li and his child both had the Four Symbols Seal, and betraying the Black Cloaked Alliance would be equivalent to courting death. There was no one in this world who was so foolish.
"They should be arriving soon. I can feel the fluctuations of the power of the four elephants, but ?" Mu Jin frowned as he spoke.
"But what?" Tu Xing knew that Mu Jin had a high innate talent for sensing things, so he quickly asked.
Mu Jin didn't say it out loud. Instead, he whispered into Tu Xing's ear. Tu Xing nodded as he listened, but from the expression on his face, one could tell that it was something shocking.
Not long after, Biao Lei flew down from the sky of the temple. When he saw that Earth Awakened and Mu Jin were at the entrance, he was startled and immediately greeted them.
"Chief, you're so early too!"
With a smile, he waved his hand and said, "Master, you've come with great effort. It is only natural for me to come out and welcome you."
"It's fine. I'm a member of the Alliance now. I'll do whatever I have to do." When Tao Li heard Tu Xing being so polite, he replied with a bow.
Just as Tao Li finished his words, Mu Jin, who was standing to the side, suddenly shouted into the air, "My friends, since you've come, there's no need for you to hide."
Tao Li turned pale with fright. He saw four figures darting out from the depths of the darkness in front of him. They were all people he knew.
"I didn't expect your perception to be so strong. You even noticed us hiding our presence." Liu Zhe said as he stared at Mu Jin in admiration.
"Master Tao, I hope you can give us an explanation. Why are there so many people?" Earth Awakened snorted and said fiercely.
"This?" Tao Li looked left and right, his face also at a loss. He really did not expect that the four of them would follow him here. However, Qiu Lingzhi on the other side kept blinking at him. What was that supposed to mean?
"Old buddy, if you see me again, you'll attack me. Maybe you can even save your own life."
"Are you sick? Why would I attack you when I'm still fine? "
"Just listen to me, I'm sure you're right."
Thinking back to a few days ago when Qiuzhi had come to his house to talk to him, Tao Li finally understood what was going on, so he took out his four shuriken swords and threw them towards the four students of Ye Luo Academy.
"Be careful! Earth Escape ? Return to Land!"
Without saying a word, Tao Li threw a few shurikens over. Xiang Hu quickly formed a seal, summoning the rock out of the ground to block the shuriken's attack.
"Clang clang!" The shurikens hit the rock, producing an ear-piercing sound.
"I'm no longer a student of Ye Luo Academy, stop bothering me. Otherwise, don't blame me for not remembering our old friendship." Tao Li scolded.
"Good!" "As expected of the Black Cloaked Alliance Grandmaster," Earth Awakened said with a face full of smiles. He knew that Tao Li's attack was not a fake, which meant that the four students of Fallen Leaves Academy had followed him and not Tao Li. In fact, Mu Jin had already sensed the power of the four elephants from Liu Zhe's group a moment ago, but the two of them didn't run away. They wanted to know if Tao Li had submitted or not.
"Old buddy, don't make a mistake!" Qiu Lingzhi said. He did not give up on Tao Li and tried to persuade her.
"I can't go back. Chief, let's go!" Tao Li ignored Qiuzhi and turned to leave.
Tu Xing nodded and patted Mu Jin's shoulder. "I'll leave this side to you. I'll bring Grandmaster away first." After he finished speaking, he and Tao Li turned into two figures of light and disappeared.
"Don't let him get away, chase him!" Liu Zhe hurriedly said as he saw them run away, and he also flew up into the air.
"Heavenly Law ? Seven Stars Lantern!"
Just when Liu Zhe and the others were about to catch up, seven stone lamps suddenly appeared on the ground. The flames inside the lamps flickered and dimmed, which was very strange. At this moment, they were controlled by Mu Jin and rushed towards them like a spinning top.
"Be careful!" Liu Zhe warned after avoiding a stone lamp. However, other stone lamps immediately flew over.
With a hong sound, the tiger was targeted by the two stone lamps at the same time. Finally, the two lamps collided into each other, creating a huge explosion.
"Hu Zi?" While she dodged the stone lamp, she shouted towards the direction of the explosion.
"This is just the beginning. Today, I'll let you all have a taste of my power!" After saying that, Mu Jin controlled the light emitting from the two fingers.
Immediately, the stone lamps that were bothering them flew into the air and began to merge with each other. With each disappearance of a stone lamp, the stone lamps beside them would emit light and become larger.
"This is bad!" Disperse! " Liu Zhe could feel the huge energy inside the stone lamp. It could basically destroy this place, so he quickly reminded them.
"Go! Destroy them! " Mu Jin viciously waved his two fingers.
The stone lamp immediately rotated, preparing to release all of its energy. At this moment, a thick stream of water spurted out from the ground, lifting it into the sky.
"Boom ~ ~ Boom"
There was a loud noise in the air, stronger than the explosion before, and even the ground shook a few times. The remaining sparks scattered like blooming flowers, and the water in the fountain was affected as well.
"It's the Rising Tiger!" Liu Zhe saw a shadow appear at the spring, so he looked over.
"Quite capable! "He's actually still alive even after being blown to bits by the Seven Stars Lantern, and it even stopped the big stone lamp from exploding." Mu Jin looked at the Chao Hu and praised.
Shuiyue flew to Tiger's side and said loudly, "Leave this arrogant brat to me. Quickly chase after him and deal with him. Otherwise, you won't make it in time." After saying that, Shuiyue prepared herself for battle.
