Yu County.
In an ancient tomb somewhere in the mountains.
A cloud of grey mist covered an area of dozens of feet. Li Mu formed a seal with his hands. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew and the grey mist gradually dissipated.
Whoosh!
A blood-red tongue suddenly flew out from the mist. It was extremely fast and created a gust of wind. It went straight for Li Mu's head.
Clang!
Li Mu slashed out. The Baiyi Sword struck the tongue and produced a metallic sound. Sparks flew from the tongue and it suddenly retracted. The mist was completely blown away by the gust of wind, revealing a thin ghostly figure inside.
Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon's eighteen ghostly generals. Apart from Madam Chu, four of them were in Yang County and Yu County.
The Red Hair Ghost and the Big Head Ghost in Yang County had already been killed by Li Mu.
A few hours ago, the Rakshasa Ghost hiding in an abandoned house in Yu County had also been killed by the Baiyi Sword.
The last Long-tongued Ghost lived in this ancient tomb. It was not weak and was ranked seventh among the eighteen ghostly generals. It had been resisting Li Mu for a long time.
The thin ghostly figure was covered in black gas, only revealing two eyes. His eyes were glowing fiercely as he looked at Madam Chu and said angrily, "Damn it, Madam Chu, you actually betrayed His Highness. Have you ever thought about your end?!"
Madam Chu floated above and said coldly, "Worry about your fate first."
After saying that, she urged Baiyi to meet the attack head-on.
The Long-tongued Ghost used its tongue as a weapon. Its tongue was extremely flexible and could be hard or soft. It was actually on par with Madam Chu who was wielding the Baiyi Sword.
This was even after Li Mu had exhausted most of its spiritual energy. After all, as the seventh ghostly general, its strength was much higher than Madam Chu's.
Li Mu stood far away. Occasionally, he would send down a bolt of lightning. Although the Long-tongued Ghost dodged most of the time, it was still flustered. Madam Chu seized the opportunity and gradually gained the upper hand.
The Long-tongued Ghost tried to escape several times but was forced back by Li Mu's lightning technique.
He was struck by Madam Chu's sword again. He couldn't help but feel anxious and angry. He asked, "Damn it! Do you dare to fight me for real without looking for help?"
Madam Chu sneered, and the momentum of her sword became even sharper.
The long-tongued ghost had already lost more than half of his mana, and was gradually losing ground to Madam Chu. After being stabbed a few more times, he was accidentally struck by a bolt of lightning, and his soul was already extremely illusory.
Just as he was about to fall into despair, a monstrous killing intent suddenly came from the distant horizon, followed by an extremely angry voice.
"You're courting death!"
Sensing this extremely familiar voice, the long-tongued ghost heaved a sigh of relief and exclaimed, "Lord Soul, save me!"
When Madam Chu felt this incomparably powerful aura, her expression changed drastically. Taking advantage of the moment when the long-tongued ghost relaxed, she pierced her sword through his chest and absorbed all of his soul energy. Then, she quickly flew to Li Mu's side and said anxiously, "Benefactor, leave quickly! He's the first ghost general under Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon. He has already become a ghost spirit!"
A ghost spirit was equivalent to a cultivator in the Creation and Golden Body realms. In terms of aura, he was slightly weaker than Master Puji of the Jinshan Temple.
Li Mu held the Baiyi Sword in one hand and formed a seal with the other. He said quietly, "Heaven and Earth are limitless, borrow the power of the universe; the power of the universe is born from the heart, and it grows endlessly. Heavenly Lord Taiyi, as the law commands! "
The Baiyi Sword buzzed, and countless sword shadows appeared behind Li Mu's back. Tens of thousands of swords moved together and slashed towards the black shadow in the distance.
The black shadow's body suddenly exploded, turning into countless black gas. After the sword shadows slashed past, the black gas gathered together again.
"The Art of Soul Division!"
Li Mu's heart skipped a beat. According to Honored Master Thousand Illusions' memories, soul cultivators who mastered this secret magic would be able to split their soul body into smaller parts when their life was in danger. That way, they would be able to avoid large-scale attacks.
Li Mu did not hesitate to flee on his sword. The Demon Slaying Protection Spell was the strongest move he could use at the moment, but it could not do anything to the first ghost general. Other than running away, he had no other choice.
Using the "Army" Formula, he was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he appeared a thousand feet away and sped in a certain direction.
"You can't run away!"
After witnessing the death of the long-tongued ghost with his own eyes, and in just a few short months, only twelve of the eighteen ghost generals remained, the black figure known as Lord Soul was enraged. He quickly chased in the direction Li Mu had fled in, his extremely cold voice echoing in the air.
"I will grind your bones and scatter your ashes, extract your soul, and refine it. I will make your soul suffer the pain of being burned by ghost fire every day …"
Li Mu heard the threat of the first ghost general behind him and fled even faster. He pulled away from the black shadow again.
Although he could not defeat the other party, he could not easily catch up.
After killing four of Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon's ghost generals, the first ghost general was obviously furious. He chased and cursed. Those who did not know better would think that Li Mu had dug up his grave and scattered his ashes …
Li Mu channeled his mana, and the distance between the two was pulled apart again.
He looked behind him and shook his head. "It's just four ghost generals who died. Is there a need to fight so hard …"
Madam Chu thought for a moment and said, "Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon seems to value the eighteen ghost generals very much. For the past five years, he has always wanted to raise all of us above the Soul Realm and give us all the soul power he obtained …"
"Eighteen Soul Realm …" Li Mu thought for a moment and suddenly exclaimed, "He can't be thinking of setting up the Eighteen Yin Prison Formation, right?"
Over the past few days, Li Mu had digested a lot of the memories left behind by Venerable Thousand Illusions. He also had some understanding of some demonic methods.
The Eighteen Hell Grand Formation was an extremely formidable Devil Dao Grand Formation. It was set up by 18 ghost cultivators at the Ferocious Soul Realm, and coupled with King Chu Jiang taking the lead, it was capable of trapping a sixth realm expert at the Profound Insight Realm to death.
The eighteen ghost generals corresponded to the eighteen hells. Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon had painstakingly cultivated the eighteen ghost generals. If it wasn't because he had obsessive-compulsive disorder, then it was because he wanted to complete the Eighteen Yin Prison Formation.
Of course, five of his eighteen ghost generals had already died at the hands of Li Mu, and one had become Li Mu's ghost. There were only twelve of the eighteen ghost generals left. At most, he could set up the Ten Ghost Trapping Formation, and there would be two more substitutes.
Without eight ghost generals, the power of the formation would be reduced by more than half. It would only be left with less than thirty percent.
No wonder this ghost general wanted to kill him. If it were Li Mu, he wouldn't be able to tolerate it either.
There were ghosts chasing closely behind him, and he couldn't shake them off for a while. Li Mu changed direction and flew towards the mountains in the distance.
As soon as he was chased by the first ghost general, he already had a plan in mind.
The first ghost general's murderous aura was monstrous. Li Mu flew straight to a familiar mountain. Just as the ghost general was about to reach the mountain, a powerful demonic aura suddenly came from the mountain, followed by a cold snort.
"Scram!"
The Ghost General's body quickly came to a halt as he stared at the mountain peak with a look of dread.
In the North Region, there was only one person who could have such a demonic aura.
He floated in the air and clasped his fists. He said, "Greetings, White Demon King. I am the first ghost general under Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon. I have no intention of disturbing you. This person killed four of my ghost generals. Please hand him over to me …"
An emotionless voice came from the mountain. "If you don't scram in three breaths, you can stay here forever."
"Does the Demon King want to go against His Highness …"
"One."
"White Demon King, you …"
"Two."
…
Before the word "three" came out, the ghost swept up a black fog and flew away without looking back.
Li Mu landed somewhere in the mountain and clasped his fists. He said to the middle-aged man in front of him, "Thank you for saving me, White Demon King."
The White Demon King asked, "How did you offend Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon?"
Li Mu said, "Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon ordered his subordinates to do evil in Yang County. I killed a few of his ghost generals."
The White Demon King had a strange expression. He said, "Most of the ghost generals under Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon are at the fourth realm. I didn't misjudge you to be able to kill them at the second realm."
Li Mu smiled embarrassedly.
The White Demon King did not mention this matter again. He said, "Tingxin has troubled you these days."
"It's no trouble." In front of the White Demon King, Li Mu naturally could not despise his daughter. He said, "In the past few days, Miss Tingxin has also helped the people get rid of evil and killed several evil ghosts."
"Tingxin is stubborn. Little brother, you have suffered." The White Demon King looked into the distance and said, "That ghost hasn't left yet. I'll get Second Brother and Third Brother to escort you back."
Bai Yinxin ran out from behind and said, "I want to go too!"
When he saw Bai Yinxin, Li Mu's legs went weak out of reflex.
The White Demon King asked, "What are you going to do?"
Bai Yinxin said, "I'm worried about Tingxin outside. I want to protect her."
In the end, the White Demon King agreed to let Bai Yinxin go with him. This made Li Mu feel a little guilty because the way the two sisters looked at him was the same.
The current Bai Yinxin was already a Core Formation realm demon cultivator and was not weak. Under the White Demon King's instructions, she escorted Li Mu back to Yang County with the Green Bull Demon, the Tiger Demon, and the Rat Demon.
