At this time, they were already in an inn.
Li Ming thanked Li Ming with lingering fear.
"Well, you can go back. Come back to this inn tomorrow. You did a good job showing us around today. Let's continue tomorrow." Li Mu casually tossed a middle-grade fairy crystal to Li Ming.
"Ah, thank you, Your Excellency. I will definitely come back tomorrow."
Li Ming was overjoyed. He took the fairy crystal, thanked him profusely, and turned to leave.
The courtyard quieted down.
Li Mu raised his hand and set up several layers of restrictions to prevent the outside from peeping in.
"Do you know why I didn't let you do it?" Li Mu looked at Bi Lou.
Bi Lou said, "Your Excellency is worried that my aura will expose our whereabouts and cause the Demon-suppressing Pavilion to track us."
Li Mu shook his head and said, "No, it's because you are too weak. You can't take down Immortal Yutian in a hurry, so it's a waste of time."
Bi Lou was speechless.
He had been locked up in prison for too long and suffered all kinds of torture and torture. His body was weak and he had not recovered to his peak cultivation, so Li Mu's words were not unreasonable.
But these words really hurt his pride.
The other war slaves couldn't help but laugh.
In particular, the several demonic cultivators' war slaves had greatly changed their opinion of Li Mu.
As the head of the Punishment Department of the Great Immortal Court, he was willing to kill Immortal Yutian and dozens of experts of the Demon-suppressing Pavilion for the demon cultivator Princess Blue Lotus. No matter what his motive was, he had won their respect and approval.
If it was said that they obeyed Li Mu before, it was only because of the War Slave Contract, where their life and death were in the hands of Li Mu, then now, they more or less acknowledged Li Mu.
The Eternal Night Rakshasa was the only female among the seven war slaves. She was a stunner who was as cold as ice and as beautiful as a peach. At this time, she also had a trace of approval for Li Mu.
Only the Sky-devouring Boy lowered his head and did not speak. No one knew what he was thinking.
"All right, go." Li Mu waved his hand and said.
"Ah?" Bi Lou was stunned.
Li Mu said, "Haha, don't tell me you don't want to see your wife and daughter at all. Go, I'll give you one night to see your wife and daughter."
Jadefall's body shook in surprise.
After becoming a war slave, their life and death would be in Li Mu's hands. They could forget about freedom. Moreover, the Great Immortal Court's control over war slaves was extremely strict and cruel. They were no different from slaves who could not make any requests to their masters.
Bi Lou had already broken the rules once today.
If he did it again, he would be courting death.
This was why Bi Lou hadn't taken the initiative to visit his wife and daughter.
But he did not expect that Li Mu would take the initiative to propose it.
"This … Thank you, milord."
Bi Luo was very grateful, but she didn't say anything else. She bowed and left.
Li Mu did not say anything else. He turned around and returned to his room. He set up several more layers of restrictions, took out the Green Soul Purgatory Lamp, and began to interrogate the Primordial Spirit of Immortal Yutian.
Outside the room, the six War Slaves were on high alert, guarding with all their might.
Li Mu wasn't worried that Bi Luo or the other battle slaves would leak what had happened today. That was because their lives were in Li Mu's hands. If they made any strange moves, Li Mu would notice them at once. With a single thought, he could kill them in agony.
To a certain extent, war slaves were just puppets with intelligence.
Everything was under his control.
Clatter!
The cyan light swirled.
Immortal Yutian had been tortured in the wick for an hour. He was in a state where he could neither live nor die.
Li Mu used a little more tricks and Immortal Yutian would completely admit defeat and answer all his questions.
Li Mu compared his confession with that of the Sect Master of Absolute Heaven Sect and found that there was not much difference. Therefore, he was sure that Immortal Yutian did not play any tricks.
After getting most of the results he wanted, Li Mu did not destroy Immortal Yutian's Primordial Spirit. Instead, he temporarily imprisoned it in the Green Soul Purgatory Lamp.
At night.
The atmosphere in Alkaid City was even more tense.
In the center of the city, in the Demon-suppressing Palace, City Lord Liu Dongyuan gathered all the Celestial Masters in the city to discuss the death of Immortal Yutian and how to catch the murderer.
Immortal Yutian was a famous expert in the Demon-suppressing Pavilion. He was the brother of Sect Master Forheaven and the Sect Master of Absolute Heaven Sect who had died a few days ago. However, he was still young and had not reached the level of a sect master. But among the elders of the sect, he had absolute power and great influence in the Demon-suppressing Pavilion.
Immortal Yutian's death was extraordinary.
Once the news reached the Demon-suppressing Pavilion in the Demon Prison Mountain, Liu Dongyuan did not dare to imagine what kind of uproar and anger it would cause.
The only thing he could do now was to catch the murderer as soon as possible. Only then could he appease the anger of the Sect Master of Absolute Heaven Sect.
However, an entire six hours had passed since the incident occurred, yet there was still no news. There was no trace of Princess Green Lotus and the others either. This caused Liu Dongyuan to become even more irritated.
"Your Excellency, today's incident is not simple. There are no useful clues left at the scene. The only thing we can be sure of is that Immortal Yutian was killed quickly by the enemy without any power to resist. The person who killed him was powerful and ruthless. It was simply terrifying. I'm afraid it was someone above the Immortal Realm."
Heavenly Master Karmic Fire Wu Shang said.
Heavenly Master Zhu Sha nodded in agreement: "Yes, the person who killed him is terrifying. However, what I don't understand is when did such a terrifying demonic cultivator appear in the Starry Sky Mansion? If there was such a person among the demonic cultivators, why didn't they act earlier? Why did Princess Green Lotus, who had the demonic ancestor's bloodline, fall into the hands of Immortal Yutian … I'm afraid that the person who killed him is an old monster who recently came to the Starry Sky Mansion or came out of seclusion."
Liu Dongyang's eyes lit up after hearing this. "That's possible."
Lotus Fire Heavenly Master Cinnabar said, "Furthermore, Alkaid City is now completely closed. These demon cultivators must not have been able to escape in time. They have nowhere to hide, so they must have hidden their incarnations somewhere in the city to hide their identities. We should immediately expand the search area. Don't just limit it to the fourth and third class citizens. Even the second class and first class citizens should be the targets of our search. At the same time, offer a large reward for any suspicious clues. I believe that some clues will appear."
Liu Dongyuan said: "Yes, Heavenly Master is right. Let's do that."
A series of orders were issued.
The entire Alkaid City was mobilized.
Countless armored soldiers of the Heavenly Master Camp, disciples of the Demon Subduing Pavilion, and the Immortal Cultivators stationed in the city began to search every street, every house, and every household. Even the mansions of first-grade immortals and some nobles were not spared.
At the same time, Liu Dongyuan and the others began to mobilize experts and began to prepare for the appearance of the demonic cultivator who might be above the Immortal Lord level.
Immortal Cultivators' notices were pasted all over the streets and alleys of Alkaid City.
Many of the wanted columns flickered with brilliance. All the previous information was erased, and the most urgent and dangerous light appeared. It was the wanted notice about the search for the demonic cultivators and all suspicious people in the city.
"Suspicious people? What kind of people are considered suspicious? "
Li Ming, who had earned quite a lot today, stood in front of the notice board in front of the restaurant. He looked at the wanted notice with the smell of alcohol and muttered.
He had accepted a big job today and earned quite a lot. After work, he couldn't wait to go to the restaurant and buy a few jars of Blaze Brew to drink to his heart's content.
The hot immortal power of the wine fused into his limbs and bones, suppressing the cold poison hidden injury in his body that he had suffered more than ten years ago.
As he continued to read, he found that the description of the 'suspicious people' on the wanted notice was quite detailed.
"First time in Alkaid City, unknown identity, mysterious background, extravagant, went to the slave market in the southern city today … Hmm?"
Li Ming suddenly had a thought when he read this.
He suddenly realized that the distinguished guest he served today seemed … a little … in line with the description of the 'suspicious people' on the wanted notice?
Moreover, this distinguished guest did have several demonic cultivators by his side. They seemed to be slaves, but the demonic aura on their bodies was very obvious. Li Ming could be sure of this.
At the bottom of the wanted notice was the amount of the reward.
"Those who provide detailed clues will be rewarded with 100 immortal crystals. Those who assist in the arrest will be rewarded with 500 immortal crystals. If the real culprit is found in the slave market, the reward will be 10,000 immortal crystals … Heavens, this is a huge fortune. The City Lord's Mansion is really going all out this time."
Li Ming couldn't help but feel excited after reading it.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt the identity of the distinguished guest he served today was suspicious.
"Is he really the murderer in the slave market?"
"Even if he is not, it doesn't matter."
Because the wanted notice said that as long as he provided clues, no matter right or wrong, he could get immortal crystals.
Li Ming hesitated for a moment and went straight to the nearest Taoist Master Mansion.
…
…
It was late at night.
Bi Lou hadn't come back yet.
In the inn, Li Mu closed his eyes to rest and continued to comprehend the profound meaning of time.
He was currently walking the dual cultivation path of the Dao of Fire and the Dao of Time. The comprehension and improvement of the Dao of Fire required a certain environment as well as a variety of rare flames. The conditions were relatively harsh. On the other hand, the comprehension of the Dao of Time depended on the cultivation of one's mental state and comprehension. After all, time flows by one's side at all times.
Moreover, the profound meaning of time was extremely rare, so it was more powerful.
Every time Li Mu fought with an enemy, he only needed to dive down with the Time Phase to kill his opponent. Except for that time when he was in danger in the lair of the Cloud-swallowing Beast in the Siming Mountain, he had never used the Time Recovery.
Therefore, during this period, Li Mu had adjusted his major Profound Meaning to the Time System.
All of a sudden, he opened his eyes.
He could feel that from all directions, a large number of immortal experts were coming to surround the inn. Although they were cautious, they couldn't hide from Li Mu's perception.
"What's going on?"
Li Mu was quite surprised.
"Has what happened in the slave market been discovered?"
"Impossible."
"At that time, I didn't leave any clues at all."
"Or, did Bi Lou leak the news and betray me?"
Li Mu shook his head.
"Impossible."
Bi Lou didn't do him any good, and the war slave contract didn't give him any special feedback. The contracts of the other six war slaves were also completely normal.
Li Mu frowned slightly.
He got up, walked out of the room, and came to the courtyard.
"Master."
The six war slaves saluted one after another.
Li Mu nodded.
At this time, even the six war slaves noticed that around the inn, a large number of immortal experts were approaching, and at the same time, thousands of Taoist soldiers of the Demon-suppressing Pavilion were quietly approaching from all sides.
And there was no doubt that they were coming for Li Mu and the others.
Because soon, the courtyard where they were in became the center of the encirclement.
The other courtyards in the inn were spared, except for this one. Outside the courtyard wall, in the sky, immortal experts were waiting, and the Taoist soldiers had set up tactical deployments to completely surround them. Terrible pressure swept over.
