Half a year ago, the Law Bell, which had not rung for years, rang several times a day.
After half a year of peace, another woman died with grievances. Before she died, her grievances resonated with the heavens and earth, giving birth to a new Dao technique, causing the Law Bell to ring again.
Not long after, when the Law Bell rang again, a crack appeared on it.
Such a thing had never happened before since the establishment of the Fu-lu School.
An old man with white hair and a white beard stood in front of the cracked Law Bell. His gaze was deep, and he was silent.
The head of the fifth branch, Hyun Jinko, walked forward and asked in a low voice, "Senior Brother, this …"
The old man said slowly, "The sound of the Law Bell is related to the strength of the Dao technique. The stronger the new Dao technique, the louder the sound of the Law Bell. To be able to crack the Law Bell, I'm afraid that a powerful Dao technique has been born …"
"It's the North Region again …" Hyun Jinko said with a serious expression, "I'm afraid this is not a coincidence."
The old man looked at a woman in a palace dress and said, "Such a Dao technique will definitely cause a phenomenon in the North Region. Junior Sister, please go down the mountain and investigate the reason …"
North Region, outside the city.
Five powerful auras surrounded Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon from five directions.
The crown on Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon's head had already fallen off. His hair was disheveled, and his aura was extremely weak.
Facing five experts of the same level, he had no chance of escaping.
The North Region County Governor looked at him and said coldly, "Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon, surrender."
Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon panted heavily. He looked around and realized that all his escape routes had been sealed.
He knew that he could not escape today. He looked up at everyone and said sternly, "If it wasn't for that liar, do you think you can kill me with just trash like you?"
They were also well aware that if it weren't for Li Mu holding back Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon, Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon would probably have already sacrificed all the citizens of the city and advanced to the Sixth Realm. At this moment, the roles of hunter and prey would have completely reversed.
Until now, they still didn't know how Li Mu, a mere Third Realm cultivator, managed to hold off Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon for as long as an hour, and how he managed to break the Great Eighteen Hellish Prison Formation...
The White Demon King looked at Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon and said indifferently, "Unfortunately, there are no ifs."
The North County Governor said, "Everyone, attack with all your might and kill this fiend!"
Five auras soared into the sky. Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon stood in the middle, laughing towards the sky. "No one can kill this king. You Ming can't, Thousand Illusions can't, and trash like you can't either!"
As soon as his voice fell, a strong aura fluctuation suddenly came from his body.
The North County Governor's expression changed drastically, and he immediately said, "Retreat!"
Everyone quickly retreated. A powerful destructive force erupted from Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon's position, destroying all life within a radius of several thousand feet.
County City.
Li Mu and Bai Yinxin were both quite injured. Liu Hanyan and Wanwan supported Li Mu on both sides, while Xiao Bai and Bai Tingxin supported Bai Yinxin as they returned to their residence.
Li Mu lay on the bed, while Liu Hanyan sat at the head of the bed. She didn't say a word as she silently wept.
This was the first time Li Mu saw her cry. He held Liu Hanyan's hand and comforted her. "Don't be sad. I'm fine now …"
Liu Hanyan wiped her tears and sobbed. "If something happened to you, what would Wanwan and I do?"
Li Mu looked at her and asked seriously, "Do you want me to abandon you and run away alone?"
He pulled Liu Hanyan into his arms and said, "Have some confidence in your man, okay? A mere Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon is nothing. Master Qianhuan is more powerful than him, right? In the end, he still fell into my hands …"
Liu Hanyan leaned against his chest and gently pounded it. "You're still trying to be brave at this time …"
Li Mu looked at her tear-stained face and kissed her gently. "Believe me, I won't let anyone hurt you."
Liu Hanyan did not respond to Li Mu with words. She used her lips to kiss Li Mu's lips.
"Cough!"
Bai Tingxin coughed at the door. Liu Hanyan hurriedly got up from Li Mu's body. In front of outsiders, she was still a little shy.
She awkwardly wiped her lips and said, "I'll go see Miss Yinxin."
Li Mu glared at Bai Tingxin. It was not easy for Liu Hanyan to take the initiative and be so enthusiastic, but this snake ruined the atmosphere.
Bai Tingxin looked back and saw that Liu Hanyan had gone far away. She jumped on the bed and threw herself on Li Mu, kissing his face incessantly.
"Shut up!"
Li Mu mustered his strength and pinched her mouth. He said in shock, "Are you crazy …?"
Bai Tingxin sat on top of him and snorted. "At that time, I swore that I would marry anyone who could save me. You saved me and my sister from Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon. I want to marry you …"
"Nonsense!"
Li Mu glared at her and said, "Did you ask me? Did you ask your aunt …?"
Bai Tingxin said, "I can be the concubine …"
Li Mu said angrily, "I'm your uncle. What you're doing is incest. Get off me!"
Bai Tingxin giggled. "I'm not getting off."
This snake was really crazy. Li Mu felt a few familiar breaths approaching quickly. He said, "Your father is here. Get off quickly!"
Bai Tingxin pouted. "Don't try to lie to me. I'm not getting off …"
"Tingxin!"
A majestic voice came from behind. Her body trembled and she immediately jumped off the bed. She stood obediently in the corner and bowed her head. "Father."
The White Demon King and Xuandu walked in quickly. They asked with concern, "Third Brother, are you okay?"
"Don't worry, I won't die …" Li Mu smiled and asked, "Where's Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon?"
County Minister Chen said, "Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon knew that he was no match for him, so he self-destructed his soul. It's a pity that Lord Shen won't have the chance to take revenge personally."
Li Mu looked at the White Demon King. The White Demon King knew what he was going to say. He smiled and said, "I've already collected the remaining soul power of Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon and the Eighteen Ghost Generals."
County Governor Lin walked forward and said to Li Mu, "You deserve the most credit for North County being able to avoid this calamity. I will personally write a letter to the imperial court and ask for a reward for you."
Li Mu smiled and said, "As officials of Great Zhou, our duty is to protect the people. This is what we should do."
"How did you stall Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon tonight?" County Governor Lin finally asked the question in his heart. It was also the question in everyone's heart.
Li Mu had already thought of an explanation. He said, "I lied to him and said that there was a Level Seven Ominous Ghost suppressed under the State Temple in the county city. If Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon sacrificed the people of the county city, the Ominous Ghost would break out of the seal. At that time, even if he reached Level Six, he would still be devoured by the Ominous Ghost and die."
Everyone was shocked. They could not understand why Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon would believe Li Mu so easily.
Li Mu knew their doubts and continued, "He didn't believe me at first. Later, I pretended to be Monk Qianhuan, and Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon no longer suspected me. I lied to him and spent an hour preparing the array to suppress the Ominous Ghost. That was how I managed to stall him until you all arrived."
County Governor Chen was stunned. He said, "You pretended to be Monk Qianhuan?"
Li Mu nodded and said, "When I was in Yangqiu County, a wisp of Monk Qianhuan's remnant soul wanted to possess me. Fortunately, a senior master came to my rescue and destroyed Monk Qianhuan's remnant soul. I also obtained some of his remnant memories. In these memories, there were old stories about Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon. I used these to deceive him …"
Li Mu's words were half true and half false. He had a Pure Yang Body. When he was in Yangqiu County, Monk Qianhuan had a deep relationship with him. Combined with Li Mu's testimony last time, it was not difficult to explain this matter.
Obviously, both County Governor Chen and County Governor Lin were very familiar with the incident of Monk Qianhuan a few months ago.
Both of them also knew that Li Mu had a Pure Yang Body. Monk Qianhuan had once attacked him, but he was saved by a master whose Taoist name was "Laozi". All these were recorded in the case file.
County Governor Lin praised, "It's really rare to have such astuteness at such a critical moment."
He asked again, "You also broke the Eighteen Hellish Prison Formation, right?"
Li Mu did not deny it. He said, "At that time, Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon was ready to sacrifice all the people in the county. If I didn't break the formation, tens of thousands of people in the county would have become the sacrifices of Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon. In a hurry, I had to curse the sky with the Incantation of Truth. I used the Force of Heaven and Earth to break the formation. Actually, most of my injuries were caused by the backlash of the Force of Heaven and Earth. If it were not for the Eighteen Hellish Prison Formation, I'm afraid I would have been killed by the Force of Heaven and Earth …"
County Governor Chen was stunned and said in astonishment, "Is that possible?"
Li Mu said helplessly, "At that time, the situation was urgent and I had no other choice but to take the risk. Fortunately, I succeeded …"
County Governor Chen said curiously, "Although the Force of Heaven and Earth is powerful, it is not easy to activate it. Does Heaven have a special favor for you?"
In a sense, Li Mu was indeed favored by Heaven. Every time he recited the Tao Te Ching, Heaven wanted him to die on the spot.
Li Mu looked at Xiaoyu behind Xuandu and said, "Actually, I was also inspired by Xiaoyu's incident."
Xiaoyu looked at Li Mu quietly and did not say anything …
