At this moment, the Azure Rainbow Sword was not even 0.01 centimeters away from Li Mu's neck.
A cold and sharp sensation came from his neck. Li Mu could feel that a sharp Sword Qi had already locked onto him.
As long as Li Qing wanted to, she could take his life.
Li Qing would not do this for no reason. Li Mu looked at her and asked, "Boss, what's wrong?"
"Don't call me boss!" Li Qing's face was cold, and her eyes were filled with worry. She looked at Li Mu and said coldly, "The one who just left the county office was not Li Mu. Who are you?"
When they left the county office, Li Mu's body was completely controlled by the Venerable Master Thousand Illusions. With his cultivation, Li Qing, who was only at the Spirit Conjuring realm, could not see through him.
However, it was clear that Li Qing had already noticed the abnormality at that time.
Li Mu looked into Li Qing's eyes and said, "I am Li Mu."
Li Qing met his gaze. His eyes were clear, and Li Qing was familiar with them.
Perhaps someone could possess Li Mu, but they could not imitate his eyes. Her eyes gradually became confused, and her hand that was holding the sword loosened.
Li Mu sighed in relief and said, "But when I left the county office, my body was controlled by someone and I was almost possessed. It was not easy to escape."
From the beginning, Li Mu had been holding his body up, not wanting to be seen through. At this moment, he did not need to hide anymore. After he relaxed, his Qi immediately withered.
"You're injured!" Li Qing put down her sword and quickly walked over. She poured her mana into his body and asked, "What happened?"
"We were all wrong." Li Mu sighed and said, "The Flying Stiff that the seniors of the Fu-lu School destroyed was only a doppelgänger created by Master Qianhuan using the souls of Yin and Yang and the five elements, as well as a large amount of blood essence and soul force from living people. The real him is actually in the county government, by our side all this time."
Li Qing instantly understood Li Mu's meaning. She felt a chill in her heart and said in shock, "You're talking about Old Wang!"
Li Mu nodded and said, "Old Wang is the Venerable Master Thousand Illusions. A few months ago, he was possessed by the Venerable Master Thousand Illusions and was lurking in the yamen. He was the only one who could freely check the records of the people. He did all this in secret, and after we found out, he didn't hesitate to abandon the Flying Stiff clone. He wanted to possess me, but I killed him …"
Li Qing looked at him in a daze and asked, "You … killed the Venerable Master Thousand Illusions?"
Li Mu pointed a finger at the sky and said, "I swear on the Dao that if there is even half a lie in what I said just now, let me be struck by lightning and not …"
"You don't have to swear. I believe you." Li Qing covered his mouth and shook her head. "No wonder you weren't sad at all when you saw him die. So you already knew …"
Li Mu sighed and said, "Actually, I didn't want to believe it either, but it was the truth. He was extremely cautious. If he didn't want to possess my body, I would have thought he was already dead."
Li Qing said in disbelief, "This person is actually so treacherous and cunning …"
Li Mu looked at Li Qing and said, "Boss, can we not report this matter to the higher-ups?"
Li Qing asked, "Why?"
"If the higher-ups know, they will definitely ask me how I killed the Venerable Master Thousand Illusions. This will attract a lot of unnecessary trouble." Li Mu explained, "Anyway, the Venerable Master Thousand Illusions is already dead. There is no need for these twists and turns."
Li Qing thought for a while and nodded slightly. She said, "Let me help you heal first."
Actually, it would be best if Li Mu went home and used the Heart Sutra to heal himself. However, he still allowed Li Qing to hold his hand and channel her mana into his body.
Li Qing did not ask Li Mu how he killed the Venerable Master Thousand Illusions. Li Mu took the initiative to explain, "I have a divine ability that can prevent others from possessing my body. The deeper the cultivation of the person possessing my body, the greater the backlash. The Venerable Master Thousand Illusions' soul was dissipated by the backlash of that divine ability. Before he died, his monstrous hatred for me turned into evil emotions. After my injuries are healed, I will be able to condense the sixth soul."
Li Qing thought for a while and said, "In this way, you only have the fifth and seventh souls left. Have you thought of a way to condense them?"
Li Mu was startled. The fifth and seventh souls were born from love and lust respectively. Li Mu had thought of a way to collect these two emotions, but how should he tell Li Qing?
Should he say that he planned to marry a few more wives and that love would develop over time?
Li Mu shook his head decisively and said, "No."
Li Qing withdrew her hand and said, "If you were a mortal, losing any of the seven souls would endanger your life. However, you are a cultivator. Even if you lose two souls, it is not a big deal. You can condense your soul first. When you have the chance in the future, it will not be too late to condense these two souls."
Li Mu smiled and said, "I think so too. Before the Venerable Master Thousand Illusions died, he left me some pure soul energy. I should be able to condense my soul very soon."
Li Qing reminded him, "Using other people's soul energy to condense your soul is a shortcut, but don't rely on it all. Otherwise, the mana you cultivate will not be solid enough. You will be like Ren Yuan, having only a cultivation level but not the strength to match it. In the future, when you fight with others, it will be very easy for you to be at a disadvantage …"
"I know."
Cultivation was not just about guiding and refining Qi. If Li Qing did not learn Fu-lu, martial arts, or abhijina, her current cultivation level would definitely not just be at the Spirit Condensation realm.
Although Ren Yuan's speed of improvement was fast, if they really fought, perhaps he would not be as good as a Fu-lu School's Spirit Refinement disciple.
In order to not arouse suspicion, Li Mu did not stay here for long. He left the duty room and, together with Zhang Shan and Li Si, arranged Old Wang's funeral.
Li Mu did not appear as sad as Zhang Shan about Old Wang's death.
He was not the original Li Mu. The time he had spent with Old Wang was only these few short months. In these few months, he had treated Old Wang, who was possessed by the Venerable Master Thousand Illusions, as a true friend. As for the other party …
When Li Mu thought of this, he could not help but shiver all over.
He busied himself until he was about to go to the yamen. Then, he dragged his tired body and walked home.
On the street, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes grabbed the arm of a sloppy Taoist priest and said excitedly, "Old Immortal, last time I took the medicine you gave me. In less than two months, my wife became pregnant. You must come to our house and let our family thank you properly …"
The Taoist priest flung his sleeve and said, "You bought the medicine with money. No need to thank me …"
He tidied up the stall on the ground. Just as he was about to leave, he glanced and saw a young man coming from the front. He felt that the young man was somewhat familiar. After thinking for a while, he said in surprise, "You're not dead yet!"
Li Mu looked up and saw the Taoist priest who had said that he only had half a year to live.
The Taoist priest circled Li Mu a few times. He clicked his tongue and said in surprise, "Not only are you not dead, but you've also condensed four spirits. You've also collected enough evil feelings for the sixth spirit. Boy, what have you done to make people hate you so much? Don't tell me you went to harm other girls …"
After being stunned for a moment, Li Mu bowed to the old man with folded hands and said, "Senior, thank you for reminding me that day."
The Taoist priest did not care and said, "What are you thanking me for? I took 800 coins from you that day. Just to remind you, you don't owe me, and I don't owe you …"
Li Mu was no longer the rookie who had not even touched cultivation. Naturally, he would not treat the old man as a Jianghu swindler.
The old man could see through Li Mu's seven spirits and even the accumulated emotions in his body. His cultivation, if not Dongxuan, was at least at the Creation Realm.
The old man looked at Li Mu and said, "I don't think you're an evil person. Have you thought about how to condense the last two spirits?"
Li Mu immediately said, "Senior, please enlighten me."
"It's fate that we can meet here. Well, I'll give you some advice for free this time." The Taoist priest waved his hand and said, "The fifth spirit is born from love. The seventh spirit is born from smelly lungs. You only need to find a female cultivator of the Spirit Condensation Realm and become a Taoist companion. Then you'll have both of them."
Li Mu had thought of this method before. He shook his head and said, "It's not that easy to find a female cultivator of the Spirit Condensation Realm …"
"Then you can only marry a few mortal wives …" The old man looked at Li Mu and said, "With your appearance, it's not difficult. If you can't find love, you can go to brothels more often. Even if you can't find love, you can still have as much lust as you want. The girls there love handsome men like you …"
Li Mu's first kiss had been given to Su He. The other one could not be lost in that kind of place. If he had to go to brothels to sell his body to collect lust, he would rather not have that spirit.
The old man carried his "Divine Strategy" flag and said, "Whether you can condense the spirits or not depends on your luck. I'm leaving. See you again if fate wills it …"
Li Mu watched the Creation Realm or Dongxuan powerhouse leave. He did not have much contact with him.
Although the sloppy Taoist priest had a high cultivation, his temper was quite strange. After the incident with Thousand Illusions Shangren, Li Mu was very cautious of these masters.
To be safe, it was better not to have anything to do with these people.
He returned home. Just as he opened the door, a white figure appeared in front of him.
The little fox stood in the yard and said in a clear voice, "Benefactor, you're back …"
Two figures walked over from the side. Liu Hanyan looked around and asked in confusion, "Who were you talking to just now?"
Li Mu shook his head and said, "No."
Liu Hanyan was confused. "Why did I hear a woman's voice? And it wasn't Constable Li. Did you bring a woman home?"
"How is that possible?" Li Mu said, "Maybe you heard wrong …"
Wan Wan saw the little fox in the yard at first glance. She ran in happily and said, "Miss, this little dog is so cute …"
The little fox lowered her head and said sadly, "I, I'm not a dog …"
"Ah, this puppy can talk!"
"Li Mu, there's, there's a monster!"
Wanwan was shocked. Liu Hanyan's face was pale. She hugged Li Mu's arms tightly and hid behind him.
