The governor of Alkaid City and the others were all killed.
They were all killed by a single person.
A quarter of an hour ago, Elder Feng and the other demon cultivators would never believe such a thing even if they were beaten to death.
But now, it had really happened.
And it happened in such a short period of time.
Everyone looked at Li Mu with shock and awe.
Even Blue Empyrean was greatly shocked by this revelation.
Back in the prison, he had a fight with Li Mu. At that time, Li Mu only had the upper hand. Bi Lou had thought that Li Mu's strength was at the same level. But now, it seemed that Li Mu had not used his full strength.
"Your honor."
Bi Lou hurriedly bowed to Li Mu.
Li Mu nodded. Looking at the two shocking wind blade wounds on Bi Lou, he asked, "How did you end up in such a mess?"
Bi Lou smiled bitterly and said, "There was a little accident."
Seeing that, Li Mu didn't ask more.
Elder Feng and the other demon cultivators also came over and bowed to Li Mu.
Princess Cyan Lotus was very respectful in front of Li Mu. She said, "Your honor, thank you for your help. During this period, you have helped us twice in a row. I am very grateful."
Li Mu said, "I saved you just for the sake of Bi Lou."
When necessary, it was still very meaningful to maintain a cold and aloof persona.
Princess Cyan Lotus said, "Yes, I know."
Elder Feng, regardless of his injuries, bowed to Li Mu and said, "Your honor's kindness is like giving a new life. All the demon cultivators of the Heavenly Star Mansion will forever be grateful for your kindness today."
Li Mu glanced at him and asked, "You're poisoned?"
Elder Feng said in shame, "I didn't check and mistakenly believed that there was a mole."
Li Mu opened his palm, and a small jade bottle appeared in his hand. He gently pushed it over and said, "You've been poisoned by the Great Sorrow Paralysis of the Celestial Court. This is the antidote."
Elder Feng was stunned. He took the jade bottle and said, "Thank you, Your honor." Then, he opened the jade bottle and poured out a green elixir the size of a longan. A refreshing fragrance of medicine immediately spread.
Without thinking, Elder Feng directly put the elixir into his mouth.
Someone next to him exclaimed, "Elder Feng … cough, cough, cough."
Obviously, he was warning him to be careful and not fall into a trap.
Due to the Demon Suppressing Pavilion's years of torture and oppression, the Heavenly Star Mansion's demonic cultivators had a very bad impression of the Immortal Court. They were always hostile and distrustful of the Immortal Court.
Senior Feng swallowed the Medicinal Pill and said, "Haha! If Lord Mu wanted to harm me, he could have turned my old bones into dust with a snap of his fingers. Why would he go through so much trouble?"
As he spoke, he spat out a mouthful of green blood.
"Elder Feng …"
"Not good …"
The surrounding demonic cultivators were shocked.
However, Elder Feng waved his hand and said, "I'm fine."
As he spoke, his complexion visibly reddened, and his aura rapidly recovered. In just a few breaths' time, he had returned to the burly and imposing High Immortal Realm beast with a domineering aura.
It could be seen that the poison in his body had been instantly purged.
Only then did the demonic cultivators feel relieved.
Someone immediately apologized to Li Mu in shame.
Li Mu did not want to argue with these people.
The demonic cultivators cleaned up the battlefield.
After all, Elder Feng was the leader of the demonic cultivators in Yaoguang City. Although he seemed to be muddle-headed and incompetent after being schemed against by Ming Hua, when he really gave orders, he was very methodical and had a clear sense of reward and punishment. Obviously, he was a very capable commander.
Li Mu cupped his hands and said, "That's it. I'll go back first. If Elder Feng is interested in talking to me, you can come to the inn to find me."
After that, he turned around and left before Elder Feng could answer.
Bi Luo handed the baby girl in his arms to Princess Blue Lotus and turned to leave.
It was strange that Lian 'er, the baby girl who no one could hold except Princess Blue Lotus, did not cry or make a fuss when she was in Bi Luo's arms.
Holding the baby in her arms, Princess Blue Lotus looked at Bi Luo's back. Her expression changed slightly, but she did not say anything.
However, the Purple Qilin suddenly said, "Wait."
Bi Luo stopped and turned to look at him.
The handsome young demonic cultivator in purple blushed. After a long while, he said, "I … I … I … I was wrong. I'm sorry."
Bi Luo was stunned. Then, he smiled.
Without saying anything, he turned around and turned into a stream of light, following Li Mu.
He was just a young junior. Although he was a little fierce, he was full of passion for the demonic cultivators. What did he care about?
Elder Feng watched Li Mu and Bi Luo leave.
A thoughtful look appeared on his face.
Especially Li Mu's last sentence. He did not think Li Mu was just saying it casually.
…
…
After returning to the inn, Li Mu quietly entered his room.
Tonight, when the Celestial General reported the news to Wu Shang, Li Mu heard it with his superb hearing. That was why he followed the General without making a sound.
He just wanted to save someone.
As the saying went, do a good deed to the end.
Little did he know that he would kill tens of thousands of people.
It was a sin.
When Li Mu returned to his room, he took out all the storage devices carried by Immortal Hunter, Liu Dongyuan, and the other Celestial Masters. After "unpacking" them, he made a small fortune. They were all fairy crystals, immortal gold, minerals, secret manuals, and other personal belongings such as letters.
Then, he took out the Green Soul Purgatory Lamp and began to interrogate the Primordial Spirits of the Immortals, elders, and Celestial Masters of the Demon-suppressing Pavilion. He asked them everything about the Demon-suppressing Pavilion, the Thunder Prison, and the old faker's imprisonment.
This ancient lamp used to interrogate primordial spirits was truly a powerful tool for interrogation.
The Immortals and Perfected Immortals of the Demon-suppressing Pavilion, such as Jue Tian, Yu Tian, and Huntian, were also tough and strong-willed. But under the Green Soul Purgatory Lamp, they could only hold on for a few hours at most. In the end, they spilled everything.
Li Mu's understanding of the Demon-suppressing Pavilion was gradually deepening.
This time, he came to the Sky Star Mansion to save the old faker.
After mulling it over, the only way was to sneak in and save the old faker and then run away. If Li Mu attacked the old faker by force, even if he was sure that he could turn the whole Demon-subduing Pavilion upside down, what if those Fake Taoist priests killed the old faker in a fit of rage and killed the old faker?
If he wanted to sneak in quietly, he had to know the restrictions, terrain, layout, and all kinds of passwords and defenses inside the Demon-suppressing Pavilion.
So, Li Mu started with the City Lords, elders, and Perfected Immortals.
He interrogated them one by one and checked them bit by bit.
Once he met someone who was dishonest, he would immediately show his ruthlessness.
Time flew by.
When Li Mu was halfway through the interrogation, there was a knock on the door.
Knock, knock!
"Come in."
Li Mu put away the Green Soul Purgatory Lamp.
The door opened.
Bi Lou said at the door, "Master, Elder Feng is here."
Li Mu got up and went to another secret room.
"Elder Feng, you're fast."
Li Mu said with a smile as he made tea.
Elder Feng looked a little older, and his aura was weakening. He took the teacup from Li Mu's hand and said, "I have one foot in the grave, and I'm going to die soon, so I have to hurry up … Sir, you asked me to come here. What do you want to talk about?"
Li Mu smiled and went straight to the point. "What is the Night Light Operation?"
Elder Feng's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect Li Mu to be so direct. He hesitated and said, "It's a joint operation between the demon cultivators of the Sky Star Mansion against the tyranny of the Demon-suppressing Pavilion. It's been brewing for a long time. As for the details … I'm sorry, Master. I can't tell you too much."
Li Mu chuckled and said, "Elder Feng, since you came to me, it means you want to cooperate with me. Why don't you be honest?"
Elder Feng thought for a while and said, "It's not that I don't want to be honest. It's just that the Demon-suppressing Pavilion is a member of the Celestial Court and has great influence. I don't dare to take the risk without knowing your stance."
Li Mu shook his head and said, "If I said I'm on the same side as you, would you believe me?"
Before Elder Feng could answer, Li Mu continued, "Actually, you can't judge a person's strength by what he says, but by what he does. Elder Feng was just too concerned, so you didn't think it through. But if you think about it, do you think I'll use the lives of several Zhenren of the Demon-suppressing Pavilion, the City Governor, and the Celestial Master to deal with the demon cultivators of the Sky Star Mansion?"
Elder Feng's face was filled with shame.
After a while, he finally made up his mind and said, "A peerless Demon King has appeared in the Sky Star Mansion. His cultivation is amazing, and he's called the Little Demon Ancestor by the demon cultivators. In the past few years, the Little Demon Ancestor has united the demon cultivators, and his reputation is like the sun in the sky. He's working with the demon cultivators of the Sky Star Mansion and the surrounding provinces to besiege the Demon-suppressing Pavilion, rescue the Demon Ancestor trapped in the Thunder Penitentiary, and establish his own province. This is the Night Light Operation. He's looking for the light in the darkness. "
Li Mu had a rough idea.
Although Elder Feng didn't tell him the details, Li Mu was very satisfied with what he had said.
This Little Demon Ancestor was indeed someone worth paying attention to.
Li Mu made up his mind.
"That's even better. I'm also going to rescue someone from the Thunder Penitentiary. In this case, it's even more necessary for us to cooperate."
Li Mu smiled.
Elder Feng was quite surprised. "Your Honor, you're going to rescue someone too?"
As the head of the Punishment Department, he was also going to rescue someone from the Demon-suppressing Pavilion, and he even resorted to such drastic measures … However, when he thought of the rumors about the hostile relationship between Mu Mu and the Demon-suppressing Pavilion, everything seemed to make sense.
In fact, before coming here, Elder Feng had used some special channels to learn about Mu Mu and his deeds in detail. He also came to see Li Mu with the approval of the organization. He had thought that the head of the Punishment Department was specifically targeting the Demon-suppressing Pavilion at the behest of the Great Immortal Master to eliminate the influence and power of the former Great Immortal Master. Little did he know that it was for this purpose.
"I wonder who Your Honor is going to rescue?"
Elder Feng couldn't help asking.
Li Mu said flatly, "It's also a big demon suppressed in the Thunder Penitentiary … So, we have a lot of room for cooperation. However, I also know that if you want to discuss the specific content of the cooperation, Elder Feng may not be able to make the decision, so I won't ask you about the specific content of the operation. But you can go back and talk to that Little Demon Ancestor. If he's interested, he can come to me. I believe that if we cooperate, it will be of great benefit to you."
Elder Feng nodded his head and said, "What Milord has said has indeed exceeded the scope of this old man's authority. I will report this to my superiors as soon as possible. Once there is any news, I will definitely report it back immediately. However, I wonder how long Milord will be staying in Alkaid City?"
Li Mu said, "I'm leaving soon. Liu Dongyuan and the others are dead, and Alkaid City has fallen into chaos. The Demon-suppressing Pavilion will soon react. There's no point in staying here."
Elder Feng said, "We're also leaving here … How can I contact Your Honor?"
Li Mu said, "In Dongyang City. Just look for Bi Lou. I think you should have a way to contact her."
Elder Feng stood up and bowed. "Got it."
He turned to leave.
Li Mu suddenly said, "Wait."
Elder Feng stopped and turned to look at Li Mu in confusion.
It was the third night watch today, and there were two more to go.
