In the next six months, Li Mu had to practice in the Happy House.
He lived in seclusion.
However, Little Nine and the Earth Rogue Tiger were quite famous in the imperial city. The tiger and the dog swaggered through the streets and made a name for themselves.
Of course, it was not a good reputation.
These two fellows had a bellyful of evil ideas. Most of the time, they caused a ruckus.
However, with the eighth prince's protection, and the trouble they made was not a big deal, so ordinary people did not dare to do anything to them.
Yuan Hou, on the other hand, had been following Li Mu all the time. It also lived in seclusion and rarely went out to cultivate.
Apart from Li Mu, his strength had been growing the fastest.
Half a year later, Li Mu was already at the peak of the Fairy Realm, half a step into the Banished Immortal Realm.
Yuan Hou was at the top level of the Fairy Realm, slightly weaker than Li Mu.
In the past six months, the eighth prince had taken good care of Li Mu. Not only did he provide Li Mu with cultivation resources, but he also took good care of Li Mu's daily life. He even got Li Mu a sixth-rank bodyguard with a saber and a salary.
Li Mu was very touched.
He went to the eighth prince several times to ask him to do something practical.
But the eighth prince comforted him.
Not only that, the eighth prince would invite Li Mu to a banquet in his mansion every once in a while, accompanied by many of the eighth prince's followers, which made Li Mu's status very high.
Just like that, another four months passed.
Li Mu finally stepped into the Banished Immortal Realm.
And Yuan Hou became half a step to the Banished Immortal Realm.
Little Nine's strength was unknown.
The Earth Rogue Tiger was barely in the Immortal Enslavement Realm, so he did not know how to improve.
One evening.
It was a banquet as usual.
In the hall, people toasted each other, and the atmosphere was warm.
But Li Mu vaguely felt that the atmosphere was a little strange today.
The eighth prince's core members were eight fierce generals, three counselors, and three assassins. These 14 people would definitely show up at the regular gatherings.
But today, not a single one of the three great assassins, Corner, Number Branches, and Plum, that were collectively known as Corner, Plum, or Plum, actually appeared.
And the eighth prince's face flashed with worry from time to time.
Li Mu snickered inwardly.
"This posture … Tut tut, the" meat show "is finally coming."
"The dagger is revealed."
Today was probably the day when the Eighth Prince would ask him to do something for him.
Li Mu knew it was time for him to cooperate.
He pondered for a moment, then raised his cup and said, "Your Highness, you look worried today. I wonder if you've encountered something troublesome?"
The Eighth Prince smiled faintly and said, "It's just a trivial matter, I shouldn't have said it and disturbed Brother Mu's mood. But, it's alright, let's not talk about it. Let's drink, let's drink."
Li Mu sternly said, "Your Highness, ever since I entered the Prince's Mansion, I've been living a luxurious life. I've been provided with a high amount of cultivation resources. It can be said that I've been treated generously. However, I haven't made a single contribution. Even if Your Highness favors me, you still need to consider the feelings of other guests. If this goes on for a long time, it will be detrimental to Your Highness's reputation. Since there's a chance today, why don't Your Highness make it clear? I, Mu Mu, am untalented, but I can help Your Highness solve your worries."
"This …"
The Eighth Prince glanced at Xiao Xiao.
The latter smiled and nodded.
The Eighth Prince waved his hand and said, "Irrelevant people, leave."
The dancers and maids all stood up, bowed respectfully, and retreated.
Only the Eighth Prince, the Three Advisors, and the Eight Generals were left.
The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became tense.
The Eighth Prince said, "Mister Xiao, come and speak for Brother Mu."
Xiao Xiao stood up, held his fan, and said, "In the Huangji Cliff God Dynasty, there are five princes who are favored by His Majesty and are given the title of King. They are the First Prince, the Third Prince, the Fifth Prince, the Thirteenth Prince, and His Highness."
Li Mu nodded. "I've heard about this."
Xiao Xiao said, "Oh? Young Master Mu is also concerned about this? "
Li Mu said, "Since I'm working for His Highness, I naturally need to understand the situation in the Imperial Court. However, His Highness hasn't sent me any errands, so I don't know much about it."
"Haha, Young Master Mu is really thoughtful." Xiao Xiao nodded with appreciation.
He continued, "All these years, the position of the Crown Prince has not been decided, and His Majesty has not expressed his opinion. Including His Highness, the Five Princes all have the hope of inheriting the throne. However, a month ago, His Majesty's chronic illness suddenly acted up, and half of his body is paralyzed. He can't attend morning court, and when his illness acted up, he seemed to have gone crazy. He has already killed several officials and guards. Everyone in the Imperial Court is in a panic, and they are looking for good doctors everywhere. His Highness has also asked around, but unfortunately, he hasn't found anything."
Li Mu nodded thoughtfully.
Does he want me to become a doctor?
Although I do have some skills, if the doctors in the Huangji Cliff Dynasty can't cure my Majesty's chronic illness, I'm afraid I can't do anything about it.
Maybe the Canghai Sect's alchemy skills are useful in refining elixirs.
However, this isn't because I'm good at alchemy.
Those high-level elixirs aren't something that I can refine just because I want to.
Xiao Xiao continued, "About ten days ago, the Third Prince found a divine doctor out of nowhere, and entered the Imperial Palace to treat His Majesty. It's really miraculous. These days, His Majesty's chronic illness has been gradually alleviated, and there are signs of recovery."
Li Mu glanced at the Eighth Prince, but he didn't say anything and continued to listen quietly.
Xiao Xiao said, "Because of this, the Third Prince's status has soared, and he is favored by His Majesty. The Imperial Palace has already spread the news that His Majesty intends to appoint the Third Prince as King Chu. The situation in the Imperial Court is changing, and it's extremely disadvantageous for the Eighth Prince."
Hearing this, Li Mu said, "Then, what can I do for His Highness?"
Xiao Xiao didn't say anything, and he looked at the Eighth Prince.
The Eighth Prince's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He glanced at everyone present, and slowly said, "Five days ago, I ordered 'Several Plums in the Corner of the Wall' to assassinate that divine doctor, and I wanted to break the Third Prince's reliance."
As soon as the words came out, the temperature in the Imperial Palace dropped sharply.
It was as cold as a world of ice and snow.
The divine doctor could cure the old Emperor.
However, the Eighth Prince sent someone to assassinate the divine doctor.
What was this?
It was tantamount to murdering the Old Prince, which was treason.
Since the Eighth Prince said this, it was obvious that he had a lot of trust in everyone present.
The Eighth Prince continued, "The plan was very thorough, and they acted very cautiously. But unexpectedly, the three assassinations all failed, and the three assassins were all exposed and killed … Alas, fortunately, they were loyal to me, and they didn't expose their identities, so no one suspected me."
No wonder.
Li Mu thought to himself, No wonder the three assassins disappeared today.
It turned out that they were all dead.
Those three assassins would usually wear masks when attending banquets, and would not reveal their true appearances. However, their strength was indeed not to be underestimated. They were all True Immortals, and possessed powerful assassination techniques. Who would've thought that they would all be killed?
They were really selling their lives for someone else.
As they sold their lives, they really lost their lives.
The Eighth Prince said, "As far as I know, not only this Prince, but my brothers have also sent assassins. Unfortunately, this time, the Third Prince is very well prepared. Moreover, there are several experts from the Imperial Palace in charge of the assassination, so they couldn't harm the Divine Doctor … Alas, if this goes on, I'm afraid that the Third Prince will really obtain the position of Crown Prince. At that time, this Prince will definitely be targeted and die without a burial place."
Li Mu said expressionlessly, "I see."
The Eighth Prince said with great melancholy, "I am a hot-blooded prince, and I want to take revenge on the Emperor's Cliffs. It's a pity that my grand ambition has to end like this. What's more, Young Master Mu and I got to know each other very well, but in less than a year, we have to part ways. Young Master Mu, I'm about to lose my power, and I will definitely drag you down.
"I see." Li Mu nodded.
You've said so much, but in the end, you still want me to go out and risk my life for you.
Li Mu looked at Xiao Xiao and said, "Mr. Xiao, tell me the divine doctor's address, strength, hobbies, and guards …"
The Eighth Prince pretended to be surprised and said, "Young Master Mu, you … what do you mean?"
Li Mu said indifferently, "To report to the Emperor about the Sword Reward Meeting, and to help the Phoenix Cry to die for the Emperor."
The Eighth Prince's heart skipped a beat.
Xiao Xiao's face also froze.
Even the eight valiant generals who usually despised Li Mu, a guy who only knew how to eat and did nothing, suddenly became eccentric.
This Mu Mu was so talented in literature.
Four words in a poem, but he instantly analyzed his own scheme so straightforwardly, and it was so shocking.
The power of the poem came from this.
It was a simple sentence, but it was more moving than a thousand words.
At this moment, the Eighth Prince was moved by Li Mu's talent. He wanted to change the final plan he made with Xiao Xiao, and he didn't want Li Mu to assassinate that divine doctor.
Xiao Xiao was shocked by Li Mu's talent and wisdom.
Li Mu was a pure immortal.
He followed the Eighth Prince out of respect and approval.
People with this kind of wisdom and boldness only existed in the golden era before the Immortal Collapse Era.
During the ten breaths of silence, everyone in the hall was changing, revising, and sublimating their evaluation of Li Mu.
After a long time, Xiao Xiao said with a slightly complicated look, "Okay, that divine doctor is Ouyang Yi, half a step to the True Immortal Realm. He now lives in the Yellow Dragon Pavilion less than a kilometer away from the east gate of the Imperial Palace. It is convenient for him to go to the Imperial Palace every day.
…
…
Midnight.
It was getting darker and darker.
Because the Emperor was not feeling well, the Imperial Palace was under martial law after nightfall. The imperial guards in heavy armor patrolled back and forth with their swords and spears out of their sheaths.
A small flying insect was flying in the night sky in a seemingly casual manner.
"The Yellow Dragon Pavilion is in front of us."
Li Mu turned into a flying insect with the Eight Nine Mysteries and floated in the air.
After entering the Immortal Realm, the various wonders of the Eight Nine Mysteries gradually emerged.
This cultivation method was known as the number one protector technique of Taoism. Not only could it cultivate the Invincible Golden Body, it could also cultivate the Seventy-Two Transformations. With the circulation of the Immortal Dao True Essence, these seventy-two transformations were finally perfected.
Li Mu was bold. In the air, he opened his Dharma Eyes and could see all the tactical deployments, traps, and restrictions around the Yellow Dragon Pavilion.
"There is an expert in the Golden Immortal Realm."
With the Qi Observation Skill, he saw something invisible to the naked eye.
In front of him, there seemed to be a world made of black and white ink. An expert in the Golden Immortal Realm was in the dark night, exuding a strong essence, like a smoke signal, soaring into the sky, extremely eye-catching.
"I can fight against a middle-level or low-level Golden Immortal."
Li Mu flapped his wings and approached the Yellow Dragon Pavilion.
He avoided all the restrictions and tactical deployments and landed on a window on the second floor of the Yellow Dragon Pavilion. Through the gap, he looked inside.
Heavy panting and moaning could be heard.
What he saw was an indescribable scene.
Li Mu was stunned.
"What's going on?"
"Did I go to the wrong place?"
"Today is the last day. Yesterday, on the Tomb Sweeping Day, I was stuck on the highway.
