Jiujiang County.
Hundred Thousand Mountains.
In a hidden palace in the mountain, after a spatial ripple, Phantom Princess's figure appeared out of thin air.
A few figures sitting cross-legged in the palace slowly opened their eyes. A stooped old man asked, "Who actually forced you to use a teleportation talisman? Lord Heavenly Lord also refined one of this talisman. Could it be that you encountered a Sixth Realm cultivator …?"
"A despicable human cultivator." Phantom Princess's beautiful face was filled with anger. "How dare he do this to me. The next time I meet him, I'll make him wish he was dead!"
She did not say that the person who had forced her to use her life-saving trump card was just a minor cultivator in the Transcendent Realm. She had lost to a realm four cultivator and even lost her weapon. This was an extremely embarrassing matter.
Even now, she still didn't understand how a fourth realm cultivator with magical powers could have so many strange magical powers, magical weapons that were impossible to defend against, and high-level talismans that he didn't feel the slightest bit of heartache when he threw them away …
She walked out of the palace and the people outside bowed. "Greetings, Lord Phantom Princess."
Phantom Princess's face darkened. "Tell Cui Ming that the mission failed. Tell him to pray for himself …"
…
North County.
When Li Mu walked into Yangqiu County, he still could not figure out who had asked the Devil's Doctrine to hunt him down from afar.
Cui Ming and Zhou Ting were the most likely culprits.
After all, he killed Zhou Ting's son and caused Cui Ming to lose his position. He also caused him to be searched. The purpose of returning to North County was to send him on his way as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, the fox demon got away. If it wasn't her chest that was tied up but her hand, this wouldn't have happened.
It was this indecent talisman that was to blame.
But then again, that fox demon's teleportation talisman was really heaven-defying. As long as he crushed it when he was in danger, he could immediately escape. It was more effective than any offensive or defensive talisman.
When he returned to the Fairy's Capital this time, he had to ask His Majesty indirectly if he could get one for himself.
What made him helpless was that he already had a lot of enemies. Now, there was another level-five fox demon.
The Heavenly Fox race was very stubborn about revenge. For a gentleman, ten years wasn't too late. For a fox, a hundred years wasn't too long.
Not only were they vengeful, but they were also very patient. In order to take revenge, they could suffer hardships that ordinary people could not. They could endure pain that ordinary people could not endure. Often, fox demons would go undercover by their enemies' side in order to take revenge. They would follow them for decades just to find an opportunity to take revenge.
One could only be a thief for a thousand days, but not a thief for a thousand days. If he had the chance to see her again, he was afraid that he would ruthlessly destroy her and eliminate her completely.
After returning home, Liu Hanyan stood in the courtyard and asked, "Where did you go?"
Liu Hanyan already knew of Su He's existence. Li Mu didn't hide it and said, "I went to find Miss Su. This time, I'm going back to the Northern County to bring her back to the Divine Capital to testify and let the imperial court punish Prince Cui Ming …"
Liu Hanyan glanced at him and said, "So you didn't come to see me and Wanwan."
Li Mu looked at Xiao Bai and said, "Xiao Bai, help me testify. Did we go to White Cloud Mountain to find them as soon as we arrived in the Northern County?"
Xiao Bai ran over and nodded seriously. She said, "As soon as we came back, we went to find Sister Liu and Wanwan."
After she finished speaking, she seemed to have noticed something and sniffed. Then she glanced at Li Mu and silently lowered her head.
Liu Hanyan explained, but Li Mu found that ever since he came back, Xiao Bai had been acting very strange. She seemed a bit disappointed and would occasionally glance at him. When Li Mu noticed this, she quickly lowered her head.
After dinner, Li Mu came to her room and asked, "What happened?"
Xiao Bai lowered her head and said, "Benefactor, you have another little vixen by your side. Don't you like me anymore?"
Li Mu was stunned for a while before he understood what she meant.
He didn't expect Xiao Bai's perception to be so sharp. She even knew that Li Mu had come into contact with another vixen. Just now, besides fighting, Li Mu had helped her up when she fell. In order to test her, he had deliberately touched her fox feet.
Li Mu didn't mention this matter. Liu Hanyan and Wanwan didn't know, but Xiao Bai sensed it.
He smiled and explained, "There's no other vixen. When I came back, I fought with a vixen who wanted to kill me. It wasn't easy to catch her, but she ran away …"
He patted Xiao Bai's head and said, "Don't worry, I can only have you by my side."
After hearing this, Xiao Bai's face lit up with joy again. Then she was a little worried and asked, "Is that vixen powerful? Are you hurt?"
Li Mu nodded and said, "She's very powerful. She's a five-tailed vixen. She should also be a descendant of the Celestial Fox. I don't know if she will come to me for revenge in the future …"
Xiao Bai said firmly, "I will work hard to cultivate and become powerful as soon as possible. If she comes to you for revenge, I will protect you …"
Li Mu reached out and pinched her face, saying, "Stay at home and don't think too much. I still have something to do and have to go out. By the way, don't tell Sister Liu about this. Don't make her worry."
Xiao Bai said obediently, "Go ahead, benefactor. I will keep the secret."
After comforting Xiao Bai, Li Mu left home and went to the county government.
In the Yangqiu County Government, Constable Zhou saw Li Mu and said in surprise, "Li Mu, why are you back? I heard from Zhang Shan that you went to Shen Du …"
Li Mu smiled and said, "I have some business to attend to, so I need to go back to the North County."
Constable Zhou sighed and said, "Although the salary in Shen Du is high, it's not easy to survive. How are you doing there?"
"Not bad." Li Mu exchanged a few words with him and asked, "You haven't been back for two months. How did the Gulf of Clearwater become like that? Does Constable Zhou know what happened?"
Constable Zhou said, "I don't know the details. It's said that two masters fought at the Gulf of Clearwater and affected the water in Yangqiu County …"
Li Mu asked, "Does the county government know where the master of the fight went?"
Constable Zhou shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Li Mu regretted it. He missed his wife so much that after returning to the North County, he went straight to Baiyun Mountain and didn't find Su He first.
Although the battle between her and the Tree Demon had already happened at that time, it hadn't been that long. Perhaps he could still follow some traces and find her. However, it had been quite a few days since the battle, and there were no traces of her at all. There was no way to find her.
Since he didn't get any useful information from the county government, Li Mu used a high-level Teleport Talisman and went to the county government as fast as he could.
In the past, it took him more than half a day to go from Yangqiu County to the county government. Now that his cultivation had increased, it took him less than an hour with the help of the high-level Teleport Talisman.
After Commandery Officer Shen's cultivation increased, he left the North County. Li Mu wasn't familiar with the new commandery officer so he went to find Constable Zhao directly.
Two days ago, Li Mu had just treated them to a meal in the county capital. Constable Zhao saw him and said with a smile, "We'll be going to the county government soon. Do you want to drink tonight …"
"Not today," Li Mu shook his head and said, "I came to find you this time because there's an important matter."
Hearing Li Mu's words, Constable Zhao's expression became more serious and he said, "What is it? Tell me."
Li Mu said, "There was a battle between two masters in Yangqiu County and it affected the water. Constable Zhao, do you know?"
Constable Zhao nodded and said, "I know. I personally handled this matter. From the traces at the scene, it was at least a battle between two Fifth Realm cultivators. Moreover, it was very likely that they were a ghost and a demon. Fortunately, the place where they fought was desolate and uninhabited. No one was injured …"
Li Mu asked, "Does the county government know where the ghost cultivator went?"
Constable Zhao shook his head and said, "I don't know about that."
Li Mu looked disappointed. At this moment, Constable Zhao continued, "However, a strange thing happened in Yu County these two days. Could it be related to this …"
Li Mu immediately asked, "What strange thing?"
Constable Zhao said, "Two days ago, a thick fog rose from the mountainside of a mountain in Yu County. When the people entered the fog, they couldn't see their fingers in front of them. No matter how they walked, they would eventually come out of the fog. The initial suspicion was that a ghost was causing trouble, but the ghost didn't hurt anyone. The local government investigated and the county government's cultivators couldn't enter the fog. Yu County just reported it and the county government hasn't had time to deal with it yet …"
Li Mu couldn't let go of anything that could be related to Su He. He thought for a moment and said, "Which mountain in Yu County? I'll go take a look …"
