Li Mu had seen the two horns on the head of the woman in the coffin last time, but he did not think that she was a dragon.
This kind of legendary race was too far away from them.
It was not an exaggeration to say that the dragon race of the four seas was the strongest race in the ten continents and three islands. When dragons were just born, they had the strength of a human of the fourth level. They could ride the clouds and summon the rain. Although they were not as strong as humans because of their small numbers and difficulty in reproduction, they were still the overlords of the sea.
The White Demon King's wife was actually a dragon …
Xuandu walked to the bottom of the stone platform and looked at the ice coffin. He said, "This coffin is quite mysterious. It's like there are two worlds inside and outside the coffin …"
The White Demon King nodded and said, "Grandmaster is wise. Inside this coffin is a world created by a supreme cultivator. It is completely isolated from the outside world. If it wasn't for this, my wife's soul would have already dissipated …"
Xuandu shook his head and said, "But this way, the mana of outsiders cannot enter the coffin."
He leapt onto the stone platform and said, "Let me try."
He pressed one hand on the coffin and his palm emitted a golden light. However, it was blocked by the coffin and could not enter the coffin at all.
After a while, Xuandu retracted his palm and shook his head lightly.
Even though the White Demon King was already mentally prepared, he still could not help but reveal a look of disappointment.
Li Mu walked onto the stone platform and said to Xuandu, "Master Xuandu, please lend me your mana."
This was not the first time the two of them worked together like this. Xuandu pressed one hand on Li Mu's shoulder and a steady stream of mana flowed into Li Mu's body. His peak fourth level mana was hundreds and thousands of times stronger than Li Mu's. Li Mu silently chanted the Heart Sutra and pressed his hand on the ice coffin.
The Buddhist light triggered by the Heart Sutra was still blocked by the ice coffin.
Li Mu focused and began to shrink the range of the golden light. The golden light on his entire palm gradually shrunk to the size of a thumb.
Below the stone platform, the Green Bull Demon's eyes suddenly widened.
The golden light, which had been completely excluded from the coffin lid, actually went in a little. Although it wasn't even half an inch, it was still a huge breakthrough.
The White Demon King's breathing slowed down as a strong sense of hope appeared in his eyes.
Even an eminent monk of the Sixth Realm, the Freedom Realm, would not be able to penetrate the Light of Buddha through the coffin lid. Yet, Li Mu, who was at the Third Realm, did it. Perhaps he could really create a miracle...
Li Mu focused his mind and focused all his magic power on a single point. In the end, he could only make the golden light penetrate an inch into the coffin lid, not even half the distance.
His forehead was full of sweat, and his clothes had long been soaked. Finally, at a certain point, he reached his limit. His body swayed, and he almost fell.
The White Demon King immediately supported him and channeled a strand of magic power into his body. He asked, "Little brother, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Li Mu looked at the ice coffin and said, "If I want to penetrate this ice coffin, I'm afraid I'll need the help of at least an eminent monk of the Dharma Phase realm."
The White Demon King's face was filled with excitement. He said, "I'll go to the Heart Sect immediately. No matter what price I have to pay, I have to invite an eminent monk here..."
"Amitabha." Xuandu suddenly chanted and said, "Demon King and Benefactor Li, please wait for me for a moment. I'll be back soon."
With that, he jumped off the platform and walked outside.
Li Mu leaned against the cave wall to rest. Suddenly, he felt a strong wave of magic power coming from outside the cave.
He and the White Demon King rushed outside the cave and saw Xuandu sitting cross-legged on the empty ground outside the cave. His hand seals kept changing, and a strong power of heaven and earth surrounded him.
The White Demon King said in shock, "Master Xuandu is about to break through!"
As soon as he said that, Xuandu's body suddenly shone with golden light. A wheel of light appeared behind him. The light was so blinding that one could not look directly at it.
Not long after, a golden shadow suddenly appeared behind the wheel of light.
The shadow was dozens of feet tall. It was a monk sitting cross-legged. One could vaguely see Xuandu's appearance.
The White Demon King said in shock, "Dharma Phase..."
The huge golden shadow quickly solidified. Then, it suddenly shrank and entered Xuandu's body.
Xuandu opened his eyes. Two blinding golden lights shot out from his eyes and gradually dissipated.
He slowly stood up and said to Li Mu, "It's done now."
The White Demon King cupped his hands at Xuandu and said, "Congratulations to Master Xuandu for reaching the Dharma Phase realm."
A moment later, on the ice cave's platform.
Xuandu placed his right hand on Li Mu's shoulder again. A Buddhist Dharmic power that was many times purer than before surged into Li Mu's body from his palm.
The golden light in Li Mu's hand began to slowly spread into the ice coffin.
One inch.
Two inches.
Three inches …
At a certain moment, Li Mu felt the pressure on the ice coffin decrease greatly. The golden light finally broke through the ice coffin and shone on the woman in the coffin.
After a moment, the woman's eyelashes trembled as if she was about to open her eyes, but in the end, she did not.
Li Mu's body was exhausted. He could only stop temporarily and rest against the ice coffin.
Xuandu said, "She doesn't have much soul power left. Although Benefactor Li can stabilize her essence soul and prevent it from dissipating, he still needs a huge amount of soul power to wake her up …"
The White Demon King looked at the woman in the coffin with a thoughtful expression.
"Amitabha." Xuandu chanted a Buddhist proclamation and said, "I know that the Demon King is kind to save your wife, but you must not fall into the evil path."
The White Demon Monarch sighed and said: "Don't worry, Grandmaster. I have never let down the heavens, the earth, and my heart. Even if I were to sacrifice my soul, I would never do anything against the evil path."
The simplest and fastest way to obtain a large amount of soul power was to create a zombie disaster in Zhou County like Venerable Thousand Illusions and secretly harvest the soul power of more than a thousand people.
From the White Demon King's education to Bai Yinxin and her sister, he was probably not such a demon.
But this way, he would not be able to collect so much soul power unless he sacrificed himself in exchange for his wife's life.
Unless there was a way for him to collect enough soul power without committing heinous acts. An idea flashed through Li Mu's mind, and he suddenly said, "I have a way to let the Daemon King obtain a large amount of soul power …"
The White Demon King immediately looked at him and asked, "What way?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon has 12 Ghost Generals under him. They commit all kinds of evil in the North County. Killing them and taking their souls can not only eliminate evil for the people but also obtain soul power …"
"12 Ghost Generals?" Xuandu said in surprise, "Why did I hear that Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon has 18 Ghost Generals under him …"
Li Mu explained, "Because of some reasons, there are only 12 left …"
Xuandu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid the soul power of the 12 Ghost Generals is not enough …"
"What if there's Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon?" Li Mu continued, "Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon is the biggest threat in the North County. The County Government has wanted to get rid of him for a long time. If the Demon King wants to get rid of him, the County Government will definitely support him. No matter how strong Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon is, can he defeat the Demon King and the County Government working together?"
Xuandu thought about it and said, "This is a perfect plan. Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon is a big threat in the North County. If the Demon King and the County Government plan to work together to kill him, I will not sit by and watch …"
The White Demon King thought for a moment and cupped his fists at Li Mu. He said, "I'll have to ask you to contact the County Government."
Li Mu nodded and said, "Of course."
The County Government wanted to kill Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon more than the White Demon King. If there was such a good thing, County Magistrate Shen would probably wake up laughing in his dreams. How could he not agree?
No matter how strong Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon was, he was only at the fifth realm. The White Demon King, Xuandu, and County Magistrate Chen were all at the fifth realm. When the time came, the County Governor would definitely take action. This way, Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon would not be able to protect himself. How could he care about Li Mu killing his Ghost Generals …
The White Demon King looked at Li Mu and said gratefully, "Brother Li, you have helped me so much. I really don't know how to thank you."
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "If the Demon King can help the County Government to get rid of Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon and return peace to the people of the North County, then you should thank me."
The White Demon King was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "I have an idea."
Li Mu said, "Please speak, Demon King."
The White Demon King looked at Li Mu and then at Xuandu and said, "I would like to become brothers with the two of you. What do you think?"
Li Mu was shocked when he heard this. He did not expect the White Demon King to make such a request.
He was a fifth realm Demon King, one of the strongest in the North County. To be able to sit on the same level as the County Governor and become brothers with a mere constable at the third realm, it could be considered condescending.
Before Li Mu could react, Xuandu laughed and said, "The Demon King is very emotional. I admire you. To be able to be brothers with the Demon King is a great joy in life!"
The White Demon King also laughed. Finally, he looked at Li Mu and asked, "Brother Li, what do you mean …"
Li Mu cupped his fists and bowed, saying, "Li Mu greets my two brothers!"
Although the White Demon King was a demon, he had a benevolent heart and was very emotional. Li Mu admired him.
Although Xuandu was sometimes violent and always wanted Li Mu to become a monk, he was upright and plainspoken. When it was time to be merciful, he would be merciful. When it was time to be violent, he would be violent. Li Mu admired his character very much.
More importantly, both of them were fifth realm experts.
Li Mu had just provoked Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon and was now embroiled in the battle of the Imperial Court. He was just a constable with no strength or background. He could only carefully survive in the cracks.
Now, it was different.
At least in the North County, he had two reliable backers. The next time he saw Bai Yinxin and her sister, he would be a generation older. Would they dare to be impudent in front of him?
Among the two humans and one demon, the White Demon King was the oldest, Xuandu was the second, and Li Mu was the youngest. He could enjoy the protection of his two brothers without any qualms.
The White Demon King suddenly looked behind him and said, "Don't hide. Come out."
Two figures walked out of the cave with their heads lowered. They were Bai Yinxin and her sister.
Bai Tingxin looked at Li Mu and Xuandu and asked in confusion, "Father, why did you bring him and this monk here? What's here?"
"Don't be rude." The White Demon King looked at them and said, "This is your Uncle Xuandu and this is your Uncle Li Mu. When you see them in the future, be more polite."
The two sisters' beautiful eyes suddenly widened. Bai Tingxin looked at Li Mu and said in disbelief, "He … Uncle?"
Li Mu patted her head and said with a smile, "Good niece …"
