"Congratulations, brother. From now on, you are the master of the Punishment Department of the Great Immortal Court."
After reading the imperial edict, Jiang Zhu congratulated Li Mu with a big smile.
"Haha, thank you, brother. Same to you." Li Mu also smiled.
Jiang Zhu sighed from the bottom of his heart, "Throughout the history of the Great Immortal Court of the Eastern Sage Continent, there's no one who's as young as you managed to become the Lord of the Six Prefectures in such a short time. Not only are you strong, you're also extremely lucky. Even I'm envious of you."
Li Mu said shamelessly, "Humph, it's all thanks to Great Immortal Master's trust and favor. I'm also very grateful. In the future, I will do my best to serve Great Immortal Master until the day I die."
Jiang Zhu laughed and said, "Brother, you have such awareness. No wonder the Great Immortal Master favors you so much."
The two chatted and sat down in the Sky Reaching Hall.
The banquet began, and the guests and hosts were all happy.
Jiao Huang and the other heads of the five mansions were so shocked that they didn't know what to say when they learned that their master had suddenly become the head of the Punishment Department, one of the six mansions of the Great Immortal Court.
Over the past few days, the few of them had been trembling with fear.
After all, their master seemed to be playing with fire. If he was too aggressive against a giant like the Demon-subduing Pavilion, he would inevitably be pushed down by the wind.
No matter how strong he was, how could he fight against those big sects with tens of thousands of years of history?
But looking at the situation now, it seemed like his master had actually won this battle without any gunpowder.
When they looked at Li Mu again, their eyes were filled with flattery and deep awe.
In their view, Li Mu's means and background were simply too powerful.
The banquet ended.
Jiang Zhu said, "Time is pressing. Brother, make some arrangements and follow me to the Great Immortal Court."
Li Mu said, "There is no need to make arrangements."
In the Immortal Court of the Moon River Prefecture, he didn't have any confidants. He only needed to take Young Astro Emperor and Maid Yin with him, and then a dog and a tiger. That was about it.
Jiao Huang and the others looked at Li Mu eagerly.
When a man achieved the Tao, all his followers followed.
They hoped that they could follow Li Mu.
After all, there was a huge difference between the "central" and the "local". If he could follow Li Mu to the Great Immortal Court, even if he was just a small official, it would be a qualitative leap.
Li Mu looked at them and said, "All of you aren't strong enough. If you go to the Great Immortal Court, I'm afraid all of you will soon become sacrificial lambs in the internal strife between the major powers. Why don't you stay in the Moon River Mansion? You can still be a tyrant of a region, free and unfettered. You can go as far as you can. If I bring all of you to the Great Immortal Court, I'll be harming all of you instead."
These words were from the bottom of his heart, and he wasn't being perfunctory.
When Jiao Huang and the others heard this, it was as if a basin of ice water had been poured over their hearts, and they immediately calmed down.
That's right, he wasn't strong enough.
If a small fish tried to force its way into the waters where the giant crocodiles roamed, only death awaited it.
Furthermore, with his master's temperament of courting death, as the Disciplinary Hall's Chair, it was likely that he would provoke many forces. When the time came, he might be able to protect himself, but it would be beyond his ability to protect them.
"We hope that Sir will have a smooth journey and a bright future ahead of you."
"We wish Sir a meteoric rise, and a meteoric rise."
The Chair of the sub-mansions bowed and said.
Li Mu nodded and said, "Yingxin, will you relinquish your position as the Military Hall's Master and follow me to the Great Immortal Court?"
He Yingxin was already mentally prepared for this. He nodded and accepted the order.
He was originally sent to the Moon River Mansion to assist Li Mu.
Now that Li Mu had been promoted, with He Yingxin's ability, he naturally wouldn't stay in a small pond like the Moon River Mansion. He would definitely follow Li Mu back to the Great Immortal Court.
Even now, He Yingxin still felt like he was dreaming.
Originally, when he was chosen by the Great Immortal Master to assist Li Mu, He Yingxin was prepared that he wouldn't be able to return to the Great Immortal Court for about one or two hundred years. Who knew that things would turn out this way.
In front of Jiao Huang and the others, Li Mu said to Jiang Zhu, "May I know who the new Moon River Mansion's Immortal Master is?"
Jiang Zhu said, "Haha, the Great Immortal Master is still considering this matter. I believe he will make a decision soon."
Li Mu knew that Dongfang Yeren was going to arrange a trusted aide in the Moon River Mansion.
He nodded and said, "I've done a lot of things in the Moon River Mansion. It's inevitable that I've provoked some people. Jiao Huang and the others are just following orders. Brother Jiang, why don't you tell the new Young Immortal Master not to make things difficult for them."
When Jiao Huang and the others heard this, a trace of gratitude and warmth rose in their hearts.
They didn't expect that such a cold lord would be considerate of them before leaving.
Jiang Zhu burst into laughter and said, "Don't worry about it. Since you've spoken, the new Young Celestial Master will know what to do. After all, you're the new Young Celestial Master of the Punishment Palace. No ordinary Young Celestial Master would dare to disobey you."
Li Mu smiled.
"Damn it."
"This feeling of being a high-ranking official is really cool."
After a moment.
The Xuan Barge slowly rose into the air.
Jiao Huang, Gao Min, and the others watched Li Mu and the others leave outside the City of Hanging Clouds. They didn't know what kind of feeling they had.
He always felt that in the past month, everything was particularly magical. Watching Li Mu leave on the boat, he actually felt a little reluctant to see him go.
After all, it was really cool to follow Li Mu to "rob" the Moon River Mansion and clean up the Donghuang Divine Dynasty, the Xuanxian Sect, and other major sects.
…
…
Thirty-six prefectures of the Dongsheng Continent.
The headquarters of the Great Immortal Court was located in the Yuntai Prefecture.
The Yuntai Prefecture was the largest prefecture among the 36 prefectures. It was located in the core of the Dongsheng Continent. There was a lot of water in the territory, and there were hundreds of thousands of islands of different sizes.
The headquarters of the Great Immortal Court was located on the Meteor Island.
The Meteor Island was huge and extremely high above sea level. From a distance, it was half a circle on the water. It was said that a meteor fell into the boundless ocean and formed the island.
The part above the water was just the tip of the iceberg.
Under the cover of the water, the meteor was even larger.
Because the rocks of this meteor were rich in all kinds of immortal gold and immortal crystal ores, it was favored and competed for by all parties. Finally, when the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals established the Dongsheng Continent Immortal Court, it chose this island as the headquarters.
After more than 10,000 years of operation, today's Meteor Island was already the most heavily guarded place in the entire Dongsheng Continent, no, the entire Immortal Realm.
"Below is the Meteor Island."
All the way across the ocean, when introducing the Meteor Island, Jiang Zhu couldn't help but show a proud look on his face.
That's right.
The Meteor Island was the pride of the Great Immortal Court of the Dongsheng Continent.
Every person of the Immortal Court of the Dongsheng Continent would show a proud look when mentioning the Meteor Island.
This island was the symbol of the Immortal Court of the Dongsheng Continent.
Li Mu stood on the deck of the Xuan Barge and looked down.
The huge Meteor Island was covered with dense vegetation and was green in color. It was like a giant black beast with its back exposed, hibernating under the endless ocean.
Around the Meteor Island, there were hundreds of small islands.
According to Jiang Zhu, there were garrisons and checkpoints of the Great Immortal Court.
Along the way, Li Mu could feel the power of the headquarters of the Great Immortal Court.
There were endless fluctuations of tactical deployments in the void, and there were patrolling Xuan Barge, flying boats, and all kinds of knights riding immortal beasts …
These means formed an unprecedented three-dimensional protective network. Coupled with the scouts on the periphery, it was enough to ensure that even the experts above the Immortal Prince could not break through such a defensive circle.
In the void, a huge blue tactical deployment shield emerged.
After a round of inspection, a magic door was opened on the tactical deployment shield, which was wide enough for the warship to enter. After the warship entered, the door closed immediately.
The warship slowly descended.
Finally, it landed on the port of the Meteor Island.
Another round of inspection.
Jiang Zhu had a very high status in the Great Immortal Court. Under his lead, Li Mu first went to the Central Divine Palace to see the Great Immortal Master and get his seal. Then, he could go to the Punishment Mansion to take over the position of the chairman of the Punishment Mansion.
"On the Meteor Island, except for the Great Immortal Master, no one else is allowed to fly in the air. Otherwise, it will be a serious crime. My young friend Mu, you must bear this in mind."
Jiang Zhu reminded him.
Li Mu nodded and kept it in mind.
He could feel that there was a very obscure pressure on the whole island. If he used the power of the Immortal Way, he would be easily suppressed. If he forced himself to use force, he might even be counterattacked.
"Leaping and lightening spells using physical strength are allowed."
He Yingxin added from the side.
Jiang Zhu continued, "There are places on the island where immortal beasts can be tamed and raised. Little friend Mu, you can go there and buy an immortal beast that you like as a means of transportation. Generally speaking, flying immortal beasts are more popular than galloping immortal beasts. Of course, it still depends on your preferences."
Li Mu silently noted it down.
He had already seen immortal beasts such as cranes, phoenixes, earth dragons, winged tigers, and divine beasts soaring in the sky under the control of immortals.
These immortal beasts were born with the ability to fly and gallop, and they were allowed to use as means of transportation.
"Transportation? There won't be traffic lights, will there? "
Li Mu complained inwardly.
The three of them rode an adult cyan phoenix with a wingspan of 20 meters, shuttling between the mountains and forests.
All the way up.
The terrain was getting higher and higher.
Finally, after two hours, they arrived at the central main hall.
A group of palaces, set off by the green mountains and clear waters, was extremely beautiful. The style was like an ink painting, perfectly inlaid in the natural scenery, and blended harmoniously with nature.
Without a doubt, the main hall was located at the highest point of the terrain, but its appearance was completely different from the other guard halls around it. It was resplendent and dazzling, as if it was a hall high up in the clouds. Under the illumination of the sun, it reflected a piercing radiance, as if it was another small sun standing on Meteor Island.
From all parts of the Meteor Island, one could see the central main hall when looking up.
Therefore, the main hall was called the Divine Sun Hall.
The most elite troops of the Great Immortal Court were stationed around the Divine Sun Hall.
Even people like Jiang Zhu and He Yingxin had to go through heavy checks. Li Mu was a new face, so the checks were naturally more detailed.
That reminded Li Mu of the movies and TV series on Earth. Those commoners who had an audience with the emperor not only had to strip naked, but even their hair, anus, tongue, and throat had to be checked thoroughly to make sure there were no hidden weapons. Only then could they pass.
"Dongfang Yeren is so afraid of death."
Li Mu complained inwardly.
After another half an hour, Li Mu finally met the new Great Immortal Master of the Immortal Court of the Dongsheng Continent.
After the necessary formalities, Dongfang Yeren waved his hand and said, "The rest of you can leave. I have a private talk with Master Mu."
Jiang Zhu and the others left.
