Although Liu Hanyan trusted Li Mu completely, she still could not believe what he had just said.
Those hedonistic sons of rich families were tyrannical and lawless in Fairy's Capital. Liu Hanyan had grown up hearing about their misdeeds. What exactly did these people go through to change their personalities in just two months?
As long as she could remember, there had been a law of paying for crimes. Many officials had proposed to abolish it, but in the end, there had been no result. How could it be abolished so suddenly?
The Academy no longer had a transcendent status, and the young ruffian of the Zhou family, Zhou Chu, was dead … Were these all the trivial things he had done in the past two months?
Liu Hanyan looked at Xiao Bai and asked, "Is what he said true?"
Xiao Bai nodded and said, "It's true. The people of Luoyang like you very much. When we buy things on the street, they don't even take our money …"
After the shock, Liu Hanyan was only left with worry.
She looked at Li Mu worriedly and asked, "You've offended so many people. Where will you go in Luoyang in the future? Why don't you quit being an official? We'll stay in Beijun. You can cultivate with me on Mount Baiyun …"
Li Mu smiled and said, "Don't worry. You know how many treasures I have. Besides, Her Majesty will protect me in Luoyang. It's the safest place in Great Zhou."
Li Mu and Liu Hanyan did not walk the same path of cultivation.
She had a master who was at the peak of Dongxuan and had a Pure Yin Body like her. Liu Hanyan was destined to inherit the mantle of Yuzhenzi. The resources of The Ancestral Court of Fulu School were at her disposal.
However, Li Mu's cultivation depended on himself.
The faith of the people was the foundation of his cultivation. Since he stood on the side of the people, he naturally had to stand on the opposite side of the privileged class. It was inevitable that he would offend people. Fortunately, he had the Empress and his own trump cards were not weak. Luoyang seemed dangerous, but it was also safe.
After comforting Liu Hanyan for a while, she finally dispelled her worries.
After two months of not seeing each other, Liu Hanyan had made rapid progress, and Wanwan was not bad either.
Her cultivation had already reached the Spirit Condensation realm, and because of her Lingtong, her strength was far beyond the Spirit Condensation realm.
Just now when Li Mu was invisible, Liu Hanyan didn't discover him, but he couldn't hide from Wanwan's eyes. If Wanwan were to advance to the Middle Realm one day, her Spirit Eyes would probably evolve as well.
After not seeing each other for two months, Xiao Bai had endless things to talk to them about. Seeing that it was getting late, Li Mu and Liu Hanyan looked at each other and understood what each other meant.
The two of them stood up at the same time and said to the two girls, "It's getting late, you should rest early."
After a while, the two of them sat cross-legged on the bed in Liu Hanyan's room. Their hands were clasped together, and mana flowed back and forth between their bodies through their hands. Traces of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi were attracted and quickly entered their bodies.
After two months, Li Mu once again experienced the joy of Duo Cultivation.
Cultivation was a boring thing, but Duo Cultivation of Yin and Yang brought a special sense of pleasure to both the body and the soul. This might be the reason why they were addicted to Duo Cultivation.
The next day, the two of them didn't wake up until late in the morning.
After that, Li Mu rode on his sword to Qing Xuan Peak. After being notified by the disciples guarding the peak, Han Zhe quickly walked out of the Daoist Palace of Qing Xuan Peak.
He strode over and patted Li Mu on the shoulder, and asked, "How was Luoyang?"
Li Mu smiled, "It was fine."
He looked around and didn't see the figure that often followed behind Han Zhe. He asked, "Where's Junior Sister Qin?"
Speaking of Junior Sister Qin, Han Zhe looked helpless, and said, "She didn't cultivate properly and always followed behind me. I asked her to go into seclusion. She's not allowed to come out until she reaches Spirit Concentration."
As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Li Mu with a strange look, and found that he couldn't see through him at all.
The last time they met, the two of them were Spirit Concentration. Now, in Han Zhe's eyes, Li Mu was just like an ordinary person.
Naturally, his cultivation couldn't have regressed. The only explanation was that Li Mu's cultivation had far surpassed his.
Han Zhe probed, "You have Divine Power?"
Li Mu didn't deny it and nodded slightly.
Han Zhe was stunned for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, "Freak, I thought Junior Sister Li was fast enough. I didn't expect you to be even faster …"
Li Mu was silent for a moment. His lips moved, but before he spoke, Han Zhe said, "I know what you want to ask. Junior Sister Li isn't here. I've kept an eye out for you. She hasn't returned to the sect in the past two months. If you really want to see her, maybe you can come back in four months. In four months, it will be the triennial Peak Competition. Junior Sister Li's strength is one of the best in Purple Cloud Peak. She should be back to support Purple Cloud Peak …"
After chatting with Han Zhe for a while, he went to supervise Junior Sister Qin's cultivation. Li Mu returned to White Cloud Peak again.
Liu Hanyan was watering the flowers that Wanwan and Xiao Bai planted yesterday. She asked, "Did you see your friend?"
Li Mu nodded and said, "Yes."
Liu Hanyan asked again, "Did you see Miss Li?"
Li Mu shook his head and said, "I didn't go to Purple Cloud Peak. When I was talking to Han Zhe about her, he said she wasn't in the sect."
In front of Liu Hanyan, Li Mu didn't deliberately hide anything. Their relationship was only one step away. If he hid it too much, it would show that he was guilty. It was better to be honest.
Li Mu didn't continue this topic. He asked, "Han Zhe said that in four months, there will be a Grand Competition in the sect. Will you participate?"
Liu Hanyan shook her head and said, "I don't think so. That's a competition for the younger generation. What would I do there …"
Li Mu almost forgot that Liu Hanyan's status was equal to the elders of the various peaks. With her strength, it would be a bit of a bully for her to participate in such a competition.
The Grand Competition's requirements were for young disciples under the age of 25. At this age, those who could reach the Spirit Convergence realm were already outstanding. Those who could reach the Divine Power realm were already top geniuses. They either had great talent or incomparable perseverance. There weren't many people like this in the entire The Ancestral Court of Fu Lu School.
Although talent was very important on the path of cultivation, it was very difficult to become strong with talent alone without hard work and the accumulation of years of cultivation.
Although it was rare for young people to reach the Spirit Convergence realm, it wasn't that they didn't exist.
However, the fifth realm cultivators Li Mu had seen were mostly middle-aged or old. Xiaoyu's situation was special. The youngest Creation realm cultivator he had seen was Shangguan Li. However, she was five or six years older than Li Mu. If she hadn't been by the Empress' side all year round, it would have been impossible for her to become a strong cultivator so early.
The Empress wanted him to return to the Divine Capital before the imperial examinations. There were still two months before the examinations. Including the preparation time, there was plenty of time. Li Mu planned to stay in the North County for a few more days to accompany them.
He stayed in Baiyun Mountain for three days and then went to the County City with Liu Hanyan.
After leaving the North County City, Liu Hanyan handed the Yunyan Pavilion to Zhang Shan to manage.
He didn't make a name for himself as a constable, but he was very talented in business. He didn't let down Liu Hanyan's trust. The Yunyan Pavilion's business was getting better day by day. Zhang Shan was so busy that he lost a lot of weight. However, he was more energetic and his eyes were shining.
Li Mu didn't lack cultivation resources now. He spent some effort to guide him into the path of cultivation and gave him some Fu-lu and Dharma treasures to protect himself.
Although he didn't have to do dangerous jobs anymore, he could still cultivate to protect himself. At the very least, he could strengthen his body and prolong his life.
In the County City, Li Mu accompanied Liu Hanyan for three more days. He originally wanted to drink with the White Demon King and see his two nieces. However, he only saw the Green Bull Demon. From him, he learned that after Madam Bai came out of the ice coffin, the White Demon King and his family went out to play and hadn't returned yet.
Li Mu was able to return to the County City. In the end, he returned to Yangqiu County with Liu Hanyan.
This was the place where they knew each other. It was also the place where Li Mu had lived the longest when he first came to this world.
In these few days, the two of them cherished this reunion very much. They were together for almost 24 hours every day. The progress of their relationship was only one step away.
Li Mu wasn't in a hurry. For a woman, this matter was sacred and had a sense of ceremony. It had to be left until the night of the wedding.
Their original plan was to leave this day for the day of their breakthrough. They would use each other's Primordial Yang and Primordial Yin to break through to the Middle Realm. However, no one expected that Liu Hanyan would enter the Fu-lu School and Li Mu would meet the Empress. The two of them had already broken through to the God Power Realm. They definitely couldn't wait until the next breakthrough.
On the second day after returning to Yangqiu County, Li Mu left the city and went to Clearwater Bay.
This time, other than returning to the Northern Region to see Liu Hanyan and Wanwan, he also had an important mission.
That was to bring Su He back to the Divine Capital and send Cui Ming on his way.
After leaving the city, Li Mu flew on his sword and arrived at Clearwater Bay in an instant.
Landing in front of the familiar hut, Li Mu was stunned as he looked at the surroundings.
The illusion that Su He had set up was gone. The house by the shore had collapsed. The surrounding trees were crooked and some had even been uprooted. More importantly, the deep pool that originally existed here had dried up!
The altar at the bottom of the pool was still there, but it was almost destroyed. The female corpse on the altar was also gone.
Li Mu's face was gloomy as he searched the surroundings. Not only did he not find Su He's presence, but he also didn't find the two female ghosts. He only found the reason why the pool where the altar was located had dried up.
For some unknown reason, the river that flowed through the Gulf of Clearwater suddenly changed its course two li before it passed through the Gulf of Clearwater, bypassing the Gulf of Clearwater. In this way, without the suppression of the water vein, the formation on the altar at the bottom of the sea would immediately lose its effect, unable to trap the female corpse underwater …
Li Mu looked around and saw the mess by the shore of Clearwater Bay. Could this be caused by the battle between the female corpse and Su He after she escaped?
Although they were of the same origin, one was a soul and the other was a physical body. They both wanted to devour each other's consciousness to reach perfection. When the two appeared at the same time, a great battle was unavoidable.
Li Mu carefully thought about it and relaxed a little. After refining part of Thousand Illusions' soul force, Su He's strength was much stronger than that of the spirit corpse. If she stayed in the array, she would have a chance to retain her consciousness. Once she left the altar, she would be killed by Su He and her body would be taken over. Li Mu didn't have to worry about Su He at all.
What he cared about now was where Su He had gone.
