Xuandu seemed to have left a huge psychological shadow on Bai Tingxin. When she came to the room for the second time, she poked her head out and looked around. When she saw that only Li Mu was there, she walked in with relief.
"That monk left?"
"He left."
Bai Tingxin patted her flat chest and said, "That monk is too scary. I hate monks and their bowls."
She moved a chair and sat in front of Li Mu. She stretched out her leg and said, "My leg still hurts. Can you treat it for me again?"
Demons seemed to enjoy the feeling of Buddha's light entering their bodies. Bai Yinxin was like this, Bai Tingxin was like this, even Xiao Bai liked to snuggle in Li Mu's arms and let Li Mu use Buddha's light to expel the demon aura for her.
Of course, after she transformed, she could no longer enjoy this treatment.
"I'm not your doctor. If it still hurts, you can use your mana to heal yourself." Li Mu rejected the green snake and said, "I still have errands to run. You can play here by yourself."
Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon's subordinates took advantage of this incident to wreak havoc in Yang County. Li Mu was responsible for the stability of several villages.
Arrester Zhao originally wanted him and Bai Tingxin to be in charge together so that they could take care of each other. However, Li Mu had Baiyi in his hands. Unless Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon personally came, his ghost generals were not afraid at all.
Bringing Bai Tingxin with him would be a burden.
Seeing Li Mu leave alone, Bai Tingxin quickly chased after him and shouted, "Zhao said to let me go with you. Wait for me …"
Yang County, Inner Office.
The feminine man woke up from his bed and felt that his bones were falling apart. He roared, "Where is that damned monk? Men, take him down!"
Two figures walked in and said, "Sir, you're awake."
The feminine man looked at the two Divinity Realm cultivators and said angrily, "You're only back now. Where the hell did you go?"
The two of them looked at each other and said, "Didn't Milord ask us to capture that evil spirit …"
The feminine man struggled to get up and asked, "Did you catch that evil spirit?"
A Theurgy cultivator replied: "No, the two of us aren't her match."
The feminine man gritted his teeth and said, "Trash, don't bother about that Yin Spirit. Go and capture that monk. He dared to murder an official of the imperial court. I want his head to roll!"
Another divine arts cultivator said, "We can't capture that monk. He's a disciple of Heart Sect and has already cultivated a golden body. We can't beat him or capture him …"
The feminine man took a few deep breaths and calmed himself down. He said, "No matter what, we have to give Lord Assistant Minister an explanation for this matter. Investigate, investigate it for me. Investigate the birth of that Evil Spirit. Investigate it thoroughly!"
…
Yang County, a village in the east.
A black fog escaped from the village, but it was cut down by a sword light that came from behind.
Li Mu killed a vengeful spirit that was harming the common people with a single sword strike and collected the scattered soul force. In another direction, there was a black fog that was about to escape into the distance.
Li Mu wanted to give chase, but Bai Tingxin's voice came from behind. "Don't move, let me do it!"
She quickly gave chase and shot out a green light. The green light entered the black fog, which churned for a while before gradually calming down.
She extracted the soul force from the black fog and condensed it into a small ball. She ran to Li Mu and said, "For you."
Li Mu said, "I can deal with it myself."
Bai Tingxin stretched out her hand and said, "I don't care. I killed that ghost anyway."
Li Mu took the soul ball and didn't waste time talking to her. His palm emitted a golden light and touched Bai Tingxin's hand.
Bai Tingxin closed her eyes and revealed a satisfied expression. After a while, Li Mu retracted his hand.
She opened her eyes and said with dissatisfaction, "How can you be so fast? The previous times were much longer than this time."
Li Mu said, "This ghost's soul force is too weak. When you catch a powerful one next time, it will naturally take longer."
Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon took advantage of the situation. In the past few days, many ghosts appeared in Yang County, causing chaos in all the villages.
Li Mu and the others followed the orders of the County Governor to get rid of these ghosts. Li Mu was still in the Soul Condensing Stage. Although the soul power of these evil ghosts was not much, it was better than nothing. Many little drops make an ocean, so it was still somewhat useful.
Bai Tingxin saw that Li Mu needed the soul force, so she offered to help Li Mu kill the ghosts and retrieve their souls. Of course, it was not for free.
Every time she killed a ghost, she would contribute a portion of soul force to Li Mu. She would ask Li Mu to use the Buddha's light to make her feel comfortable. After careful consideration, Li Mu realized that this was a profitable deal.
He only needed to pay a little bit of magic power to get a free long-term job. Why not?
The cooperation between the two continued happily. Most of the time, Li Mu needed to stand by and watch. Bai Tingxin would help him kill the ghosts and retrieve their souls. She would condense the soul force and send it over.
This was the first time Li Mu felt that it was not a bad thing to have this snake by his side.
Unfortunately, these ghosts were too weak. If he could kill one or two Soul Realm ghosts, it should be enough for him to condense the remaining two souls.
Li Mu suddenly thought of something and a bold idea emerged in his mind. He sent a message to Madam Chu, "Do you know where the eighteen ghost generals under Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon are?"
The ghost generals under Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon were not gathered in one place. Like the Green-faced Ghost and Madam Chu, they had their own nests. The current Li Mu, with the help of Madam Chu, could easily deal with these fourth realm ghosts.
Since Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon could send his subordinates out to do evil, Li Mu could also take the initiative to find them.
Madam Chu said, "I don't know all of them. They are scattered all over the thirteen counties in the North County. I only know a few of them."
Although Li Mu did not want to be remembered by Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon, he had already killed one of his ghost generals. Killing one or two was still killing. He might as well use them to help him condense his soul.
After making up his mind, Li Mu stood up and said to Bai Tingxin, "You go back to the county office first. I'll go out and do something."
Bai Tingxin said, "I'm not going. I want to go with you."
Li Mu said, "Be good. Wait for me to go back. I'll let you feel comfortable for two hours."
"It's a deal." As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Tingxin disappeared in front of Li Mu at an incredible speed.
Without her dragging him down, Li Mu did not have so many scruples. With a thought, Bai Yi flew out of the scabbard. Li Mu jumped on the sword and turned into a stream of light, quickly disappearing into the sky.
In a valley in the north of Yang County.
This valley was shrouded in smoke and miasma all year round. Very few people came close.
It was rumored that there were man-eating evil spirits in this valley. Although no one had ever been eaten, the nearby people would take a detour when they came here. Even hunters and woodcutters would not come close to this place.
Outside the valley, a figure suddenly descended from the sky.
Li Mu felt the extremely dense Yin Qi in the valley and said, "You really know how to pick a place."
Madam Chu revealed herself and said, "That red-haired ghost is here."
She released her aura. After a while, thick fog rolled in the valley. A short man walked out of the thick fog.
The man was short and only reached Li Mu's waist. He had conspicuous red hair. When he saw Madam Chu, he was shocked and said, "Madam Chu, you're not dead!"
He sized up Madam Chu and said in joy, "Not only are you not dead, but you've also advanced to the Soul Realm. Why are you looking for me? Have you thought it through and agreed to dual cultivate with me?"
Madam Chu did not answer. What greeted the man was a sharp sword that shone with a cold light.
The short man was shocked and said, "What are you doing? Are you crazy? Aren't you afraid of His Highness' punishment?"
He hurriedly dodged and was slashed a few times by Madam Chu. His face was filled with anger and he said loudly, "Fine, if you want to play, I'll play with you!"
He stuck one hand into his chest and pulled out a huge mace from his body. Holding it with both hands, he waved it with the power of thunder.
After the red-haired man had a weapon, Madam Chu could not gain the upper hand.
Li Mu hid in the dark and watched. Although they were both at the fourth realm, Madam Chu had just advanced and her magic power was not as good as this red-haired ghost's.
In the same realm, the difference in strength would be great. Those that Li Mu knew, such as Su He, Xuandu, and Commandery Officer Shen, were all at the peak of the fourth realm. The tiger demon and the green bull demon were slightly weaker. Madam Chu, who had just advanced, would not be able to last long under their hands.
According to Madam Chu, this crimson haired ghost was a Soul Realm ghost cultivator, and he was ranked at the 14th position amongst the 18 ghost generals under King Chu Jiang. With Madam Chu's cultivation, it probably wouldn't be long before she lost.
Li Mu walked out from behind the tree and formed a hand seal.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning descended from the sky and hit the red-haired ghost's head.
All his hair stood on end. Although his soul was not directly destroyed, the aura on his body instantly withered. His originally solid soul body immediately became a little illusory.
When Li Mu was in the Soul Tempering Realm, he could already kill third realm demons with lightning techniques. Now that he was in the Soul Condensing Realm, although he could not kill fourth realm demons instantly, this move could be used as a sneak attack. It could be used as a surprise attack and cause considerable damage to fourth realm demons.
Li Mu's sneak attack was successful. The red-haired ghost's body faded and his aura withered. Madam Chu instantly turned the situation around.
The red-haired ghost was flustered and exasperated. He looked at Li Mu and said angrily to Madam Chu, "You actually colluded with humans. His Highness will not let you off!"
Boom!
Another bolt of lightning struck his head. The red-haired ghost could not dodge in time and his body became even weaker. He was angry and shocked and hid back into the fog. Madam Chu did not waste the opportunity and chased after him with her sword.
Li Mu felt waves of magic power coming from the fog. After a while, Madam Chu walked out of the fog with a solid soul ball floating in her palm.
The 14th ghost general under Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon was dead!
Madam Chu handed the soul ball to Li Mu and said, "The 12th ghost general under Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon is also in Yang County. Also, the Rakshasa Ghost and the Long-tongued Ghost are in Yu County, which is adjacent to Yang County …"
