Before Li Mu went to the Siming Mountain, he asked He Chenzi to go to the Demon Refining Pavilion to investigate the reason why the old faker's bracelet appeared on that yin-yang Taoist in the Demon Refining Pavilion. Then, he gave the bracelet to He Chenzi to carry.
The Demon Refining Pavilion was a force of the Moon River Mansion.
He thought it would be a piece of cake for the Immortal Court of the Moon River Mansion to investigate this matter. But unexpectedly, He Chenzi was detained by the Demon Refining Pavilion.
Not only were the generals of the Immortal Court in the hall angry.
Li Mu was also very surprised.
Although the Demon Refining Pavilion was a first-class force of the Moon River Mansion, it was far inferior to the Immortal Court.
Moreover, the Immortal Court represented the officials of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals. How dare the Demon Refining Pavilion resist the Immortal Court?
Was the Demon Refining Pavilion also a member of the rebel army?
No, if that was the case, wouldn't they have been wiped out long ago?
"What the hell is going on? Tell me slowly, "said Li Mu.
After the battle of killing Feng Hen, Li Mu had already established absolute prestige in the Immortal Court of Moon River Prefecture. His words were naturally imposing. As soon as he opened his mouth, the Cloud Reaching Palace immediately quieted down.
The general knelt uneasily and said, "The Demon Refining Pavilion suspects that Taoist Master He Chenzi has something to do with the murderer who killed their master. They ask you to explain this matter in person."
A strange look flashed in Li Mu's eyes.
Something was wrong.
He vaguely felt that the Demon Refining Pavilion detained He Chenzi because of him.
"Your Honor, the Demon Refining Pavilion is rude. I'm willing to lead 10,000 celestial soldiers to attack the Demon Refining Pavilion and let them know the consequences of going against your will." Jiao Huang, the head of the Punishment Department, wanted to please Li Mu, so he stepped out and volunteered.
"I am also willing to go."
Pei Wei, the head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, also seized the opportunity to show his loyalty.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen celestial generals and officials, all of whom were humiliated, volunteered to lead troops to attack.
This was the benefit of being the Immortal Master and grasping power.
Many things that seemed tricky in the past could be solved without Li Mu showing up in person. Many people were scrambling to do it for him.
"Good, very good, very good. Jiao Huang, Zhang Wenyuan, Ren Fangzhou, the three of you take ten thousand celestial soldiers and attack the Demon Refinement Pavilion. Bring back He Chenzi, as well as all the elders and experts of the Demon Refinement Pavilion. If they resist, kill them without mercy. Don't disappoint me. "
Li Mu ordered.
Everyone loudly acknowledged the order and went out to gather the troops.
The others also retreated.
Li Mu asked Pei Wei, the head of the Ministry of Revenue, to stay.
The Department of Revenue was in charge of the scale of the major sects in Moon River Prefecture, the name list of True Immortals and above, as well as all the individual cultivators who were recorded in the territory of Moon River Prefecture. It also recorded the information and contact channels of the Cloud Swallowing Beast King from Four Luminous Immortal Mansion and other great threat forces that were not part of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals.
Li Mu intended to get in touch with the herd of Cloud-swallowing Beasts in the Siming Mountain through the Ministry of Household to find Yuan Hou.
From Feng Hen's memory, Li Mu learned that Yuan Hou had mistakenly entered the forbidden lair of the Cloud-swallowing Beast that day.
This place was extremely dangerous. Even the Immortal Court had their reservations.
When the Great Immortal Master Dugu Anran wanted to ambush Fang Tianyi in the Siming Mountain, he had to inform the Cloud-swallowing Beast King in advance. It could be seen how terrifying a group of ferocious beasts of the Immortal Path was.
Although Li Mu was eager to save them, he also knew that he had to take it slow.
Otherwise, if he rashly barged into the nest of the Cloud-devouring Beast King, not only would he not be able to find any information, but he might also get himself killed.
After a round of questioning, he was not particularly satisfied with the results.
"Your Excellency, the lair of the Cloud-devouring Beast in the Siming Mountain Range is one of the top five forbidden places in the entire Dongsheng Continent. That Cloud-devouring Beast King is a creature from before the Immortal Collapse Era. It has a long lifespan, great strength, and a ferocious temperament. It has fought against the Immortal Court many times, but it's stubborn. Later, the former Great Immortal Master personally led an army to attack it. After a great battle, they barely reached an agreement. Both sides took a step back and did not interfere with each other. The Immortal Court does have a channel to contact the Cloud-devouring Beast King, but it's not in the Immortal Court of Moon River Prefecture, but in the Great Immortal Court of Dongsheng Continent.
Pei Wei, the Head of the Department of Revenue, said nervously.
Sitting high on the throne, Li Mu rubbed his chin.
"In that case …"
"You can leave now."
He waved his hand.
Pei Wei stepped back in trepidation.
This was an excellent opportunity to make a contribution, but unfortunately, it was indeed beyond his authority. So, he had to let it go. He only hoped that the Great Immortal Master would not bear a grudge against him or think him incompetent.
"Yingxin, you go to the Great Immortal Court in person and help me with this matter." Li Mu looked at He Yingxin and said, "I want to know the whereabouts of a monkey immortal named Yuan Hou. I want to know whether he is alive or dead, and if he is unfortunately killed, how did he die. Can you do that?"
He Yingxin accepted the order and said, "I will do my best."
Li Mu nodded and said, "Very good. Go ahead."
He Yingxin took the order and left.
Li Mu gazed at his back, deep in thought.
So far, Li Mu had not found out whether He Yingxin was on his side sent by Dongfang Yeren as he guessed. He had to be cautious about this matter, so Li Mu decided to observe him for a while longer.
This matter was one of Li Mu's means of observation.
He Yingxin came from the Great Immortal Court, so he must have some connections and means. It might not be difficult for him to get information.
If He Yingxin really couldn't handle it, Li Mu had to go to the Great Immortal Court in person and ask Dongfang Yeren, the new Great Immortal Master.
Li Mu made a move in his mind.
The Green Soul Purgatory Lamp emerged.
He activated the tactical deployment in the lamp to refine Feng Hen's primordial spirit.
The entire Lingxiao Hall was filled with Feng Hen's howls and howls, which made the guards of the Heavenly Court outside, as well as the celestial soldiers and generals, tremble with fear. Their awe of Li Mu rose to the peak.
As for looking for Wang Shiyu and Hua Xiangrong, Li Mu did not do it with the same fanfare as he did for Yuan Hou.
After all, the two women had special identities, and he did not know their current situation. If the two had joined the resistance army, if he searched for them with great fanfare, it would cause him trouble.
"Alas, I really accidentally boarded a pirate ship."
Li Mu sat on the throne and sighed.
Now, he and Dongfang Yeren were grasshoppers on a rope.
If he was exposed, he would naturally pose a great threat to Dongfang Yeren.
The Resistance Army had sacrificed Fang Tianyi's life to help Dongfang Yeren ascend to the position of Great Immortal Master. Now, Dongfang Yeren had to play a key role in reversing the situation at the critical moment of life and death in the future. If Dongfang Yeren fell into danger because of Li Mu's carelessness, Li Mu really couldn't bear the responsibility.
With this layer of concern, Li Mu really had his hands and feet tied.
He could no longer act as casually as before.
This feeling was like an old bachelor who suddenly got married. He no longer had to take care of the whole family. Instead, he had to take on the responsibility of the whole family.
Li Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
A series of orders were arranged.
Li Mu patiently waited for the results of all parties.
During the period, he took the time to guide the young Chen Emperor's cultivation.
Now the young Chen Emperor was no longer the emperor of the Extreme Cliff. Without other constraints, Li Mu could really teach him some top secret manuals and Cultivation Methods.
The young and beautiful Empress Dowager Yin watched quietly from the side with a smile on her lips.
Under the sun, the scene of Li Mu teaching the young Chen Emperor was like the relationship between a father and a child.
There were some inexplicable feelings in her heart, but she carefully restrained them and dared not show any of them. However, she could not help but pretend to be careless and look at Li Mu a few more times. Every time she looked at Li Mu, a feeling called satisfaction and happiness filled her body and mind.
The next morning.
The alarm bell rang in Hanging Cloud City.
The seriously injured Jiao Huang, the chief of the Punishment Department, staggered back and asked to see Li Mu.
In the Cloud Palace.
"Your Honor, something happened. The Demon Refining Pavilion rebelled."
The giant of the Moon River Prefecture knelt in the hall, covered in blood, and said in a hoarse voice.
Li Mu frowned and said, "Rebelled? With the foundation and strength of the Demon Refining Pavilion, even if they rebelled, they wouldn't let you go back so embarrassed. Where are the others? Where are the tens of thousands of celestial soldiers and generals? "
Jiao Huang, who was still furious, said, "The experts of the Demon Subduing Pavilion took action and protected the people of the Demon Subduing Pavilion by force. The leader is a man called the Heaven Severing Sect Master. He defeated the army of the Immortal Court, killed many of our experts, detained Head Ren and the others, and … and …"
Speaking of this, he didn't dare to go on.
"And what?"
Li Mu asked.
Jiao Huang gritted his teeth and said, "And asked me to bring a gift to you, Your Honor."
Li Mu narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh? What gift? "
Jiao Huang took out a lacquer box with both hands and said, "In this box, is … is … the head of Celestial Master He Chenzi."
Li Mu's pupils suddenly shrank.
There was a smell of blood coming out of the lacquer box.
The head of Li Mu's new follower, He Chenzi, was placed in the box with messy hair. It seemed that he had experienced something horrible before he died. His face was distorted and his eyes were wide open, as if he had died with a grievance.
A wave of anger surged in Li Mu's heart.
He Chenzi was not particularly close to him, but as the saying goes, a big dog should look at its master. The Demon Refining Pavilion was clearly targeting him.
It was a deliberate provocation.
An undisguised slap in the face.
"Heaven Severing Sect Master also asked me to bring a message to you, Your Honor. He said … he said … Your Honor, you are just a villain, a … a bastard who got lucky and became the Young Celestial Master, couldn't wait to attack the Demon Refining Pavilion. It's like an ant trying to shake a tree. He asked you to go to the Demon Refining Pavilion to apologize, otherwise … otherwise …"
Jiao Huang's voice became smaller and smaller. In the end, he didn't even dare to look up at Li Mu and say no more.
"Go on, otherwise what?" Li Mu said.
Jiao Huang had no choice but to continue. "Otherwise, he will personally come to Drooping Cloud City and kick you down from your throne. He will make you wish you were dead, and you will live in shame for eternity, never to escape."
Ren Weizhi, Ren Weizhi, Jiao Huang, Zhang Wenyuan, Ren Fangzhou, Pei Wei, Pei Wei, Gao Min, Gao Min … "
