Daqian deposed the crown prince, and the emperor begged him to stop rebelling

Chapter 100 The Long and arduous journey
"The Tianwu Pass is just ahead!"

Standing on the top of the mountain, Shen Pingan looked at the towering and steep city gate in the distance and said with a sigh:

"Are we really going to continue on?"

Now, Li Mu has completely fallen out with the Third Prince.

After killing Chi Kuan, Li Mu's strength could no longer be hidden.

At this time, would it be unnecessary to go to the Fallen Immortal Lake?
Li Mu looked at the towering city gates in the distance and the vast mountains behind the city. After a moment of silence, he slowly nodded.

He must go!

If he stayed in Qian State, he would definitely become the target of Li Tai's full-scale pursuit.

At this point, it is not yet time to engage in a full-scale battle with them!
Rather than staying in the territory of Qian and wasting time,
It’s better to go to Fallen Immortal Lake!
It would be fine if I died at Guiwu Pass or Fallen Immortal Lake!

But if he could really succeed, he would be able to become as powerful as that peerless warrior from Da Sheng.

By then, the entire Daqian will tremble under his feet.

Moreover, by then, the people of Daqian would know that a top warrior had appeared in the country, and that this warrior was the abandoned crown prince of Daqian...

Li Mu's reputation will also reach its peak!
Only then will Li Mu have the strength to completely overthrow Li Tai!

After leaving Yuzhou, he and Shen Pingan quietly went to Tianwu Pass.

Although Chi Kuan and others had been killed,

But in order to prevent Li Tai from having any other tricks up his sleeve, the two of them worked non-stop and even made some changes to their appearance.

Bingdao is not only good at hiding and assassinating, but also good at disguise.

With their help, Li Mu had now turned into a rough man with a full beard.

Shen Pinganye turned into a man with a sallow face, two rat whiskers on his lips, and even looked a little shriveled.

Even if those old friends from Tiangu Pass saw them, they would probably not be able to recognize them.

Li Mu looked back.

The ice skaters dressed in black stood not far away with respectful expressions.

They escorted us all the way, which showed their loyalty!

"Once we reach Tiangu Pass, you don't have to follow us!"

Outside Tiangu Pass are the Ten Thousand Mountains!
There, there are monsters everywhere, and there will be many strange people and strange things!
Li Tai might also set a trap there.

The more people there are, the bigger the goal becomes.

A team of more than a dozen Qian people will inevitably attract attention wherever they go.

Therefore, Li Mu decided to travel in secret, with as few people around him as possible!
The ice skates looked at each other, but then turned their gazes to Shen Pingan.

Shen Pingan is their lord and the core of the Black Ice Platform:

Ice core!

Shen Pingan nodded:
"You go ahead!"

"Yes, Lord Ice Core!"

A group of ice skaters clasped their fists, bowed, and then turned and left.

After they left, Li Mu took Shen Pingan down from the top of the mountain, and then walked into the city gate along the path in front of Tianwu Pass.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

The soldiers guarding the city quickly stopped the two men, looked at them vigilantly, and asked loudly.

Shen Pingan's face was immediately filled with smiles:

"Master Bing, we are traveling merchants!"

Although the depths of the Shiwanda Mountains outside Tianwu Pass are dangerous, many Qian people still go there to trade.

Many countries in the mountains produce beast leather, various rare herbs, and many strange and weird things.

Although it is dangerous for merchants to go deep into the mountains, it is also profitable to transport these things to Qian Country. "Do you have a customs clearance certificate?"

Shen Ping'an quickly took out two pass certificates from his arms.

It is not difficult to get two pass documents at Heibingtai, but the difficulty lies in whether you can deceive the soldiers guarding the pass.

The soldier held the pass, read it carefully, compared the text on it with the appearance of the two people, and then returned the pass to Shen Pingan.

"You came at an unfortunate time. Tianwu Pass is already closed!"

"what……"

Shen Pingan and Li Mu were both stunned.

Tianwu Pass is actually in seclusion!

This Tianwu Pass is the only way out of Daqian leading to the Hundred Thousand Demon Kingdom. It has only one city gate and is guarded by tens of thousands of Tianwu soldiers. The one in charge of guarding it is Zhennan Hou Yuwen Ba!
If they were in seclusion, it would be impossible for Li Mu and Shen Pingan to pass.

Shen Pingan quickly apologized with a smile:

"Then... Master Bing, do you know when the switch will be turned on and off?"

The soldier sneered:

"Who knows? This is the order of the Marquis. He only said to close the door, but did not say when to open it!"

"Maybe it will be turned on and off in a day, or maybe in ten days or half a month!"

Hearing the soldier's words, Li Mu couldn't help but frown.

There are still ten days until the Fallen Immortal Lake opens.

If Tianwu Pass really takes ten days or half a month to open, then what's the point of going there!

However, since we are already in seclusion, we can only enter the city first.

The two men took back the pass and walked towards the interior.

Tianwu Pass is not very big. After walking through several straight streets, you will arrive at the pass leading to the Shiwanda Mountains.

However, the city gate here is built close to the steep cliffs on both sides. The city wall is more than ten feet high, and it is straight and steep as if it was cut by a knife or an axe!
There were many Tianwu soldiers standing at the critical moment, each of them had a strong build and it was obvious at first glance that they were all martial artists!

The city gate below was tightly closed, and there were nearly a hundred soldiers guarding behind the gate. There were several layers of barricades in front, and spears and halberds like a forest behind!
The pass is long and the distance is thousands of miles!
One general defending the city, ten thousand men cannot break through!

Shen Pingan couldn't help but shook his head:
"How can this be tolerated?"

Li Mu glanced at the city gate and said:
"Let's find a place to rest first, and we'll talk about it in the evening!"

The two then found a restaurant nearby, and after having lunch, they rested in the guest room on the second floor of the restaurant.

The window of the guest room faces the Tianwu Pass city wall!
Shen Ping'an stood in front of the window looking at Tianwu Pass not far away. He felt that he had no idea what to do, so he had to go back to bed and lie down.

In the blink of an eye, night enveloped the sky over Tianwu Pass.

Soon, three drum beats were heard from outside.

But it's already midnight!
Li Mu suddenly patted Shen Pingan who was lying on the bed.

"Get up, let's get through!"

Shen Pingan was stunned.

"The city gates are open?"

Li Mu smiled faintly:
"We can't just sit here and wait for the switch to turn on!"

Obviously, Tianwu Pass must have received some information, which is why they closed the city gates and blocked the pass.

If I wait here obediently, I might not only fail to wait for the switch, but I might even wait for Li Tai's men.

Therefore, Li Mu immediately prepared to take Shen Pingan and sneak through the city gate late at night.

He had looked carefully during the day. Although the wall of Tiangu Pass was more than ten feet high, the wall was steep and smooth and could not be climbed at all. There were soldiers guarding it.

But near the west side of the cliff, there are gaps between the city wall and the cliff, and you can climb up along these winding gaps.

And the soldiers' defense here is also the weakest!
As long as they reach the city wall, he will lower the rope and pull Shen Pingan up, and the two of them can climb over from the other side!
