In the time that Shangguan Li wasn't in the Divine Capital, Li Mu had completely replaced her and became the subject closest to the Empress.
Although no one could compete with Li Mu for the Empress' favor if she didn't come back, Li Mu didn't want anything to happen to her.
Mr. Mei looked at the mirror and frowned. "Ah Li is chasing after Cui Ming this time. She has many internal guards with her. She also has the Fu-lu and talismans that Her Majesty gave her. Even if she met a Sixth Realm cultivator, with everyone working together, they would have the power to deal with him. The talisman that she left in the palace doesn't have any abnormalities, and it doesn't seem like anything has happened. But why didn't she reply …"
Li Mu thought for a moment and asked, "Maybe she didn't have time to send a message?"
Mr. Mei shook his head. "Ever since she left the Divine Capital, we've been sending messages every day. This is what we agreed on before we left the capital."
Li Mu asked again, "Could it be that the message talisman was damaged?"
Mr. Mei continued shaking his head. "This possibility is very small. The most likely possibility is that the place she's at is covered by a powerful formation that can't send messages."
Li Mu looked at Mr. Mei and asked, "Where was the last time she replied?"
Mr. Mei said, "Three days ago, Yunzhong County."
Yunzhong County was adjacent to the North County. Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "How about this? You continue to contact her. I'm going back to the North County anyway, so I'll go to Yunzhong County to take a look. If there's any news about her, I'll report it to Her Majesty immediately."
Ever since he got the little conch, Li Mu and the Empress' communication became much more convenient.
As long as he used his spiritual power, they could chat in real time. It was even more convenient than a phone.
The incident with Cui Ming was a great humiliation to the imperial court. If it weren't for the fact that there were so few Sixth Realm experts in the imperial court and that all of them held high positions, it would have been possible for them to dispatch Sixth Realm experts to kill Cui Ming and restore the nation's prestige.
Cui Ming was also someone that Li Mu had to kill. Unfortunately, the Empress wanted him to participate in the imperial examinations. Otherwise, when Shangguan Li had tried to kill Cui Ming last time, Li Mu had followed her.
Now that the imperial examinations were over, Cui Ming had not been caught. He still had a chance to act personally.
Before he returned, he had to inform the Empress.
Changle Palace.
After hearing Li Mu's words, Zhou Yi handed him a jade talisman and said: "This is A 'Li's Life Talisman. Hold it in your hand and channel your mana into it. You will be able to sense her position within a certain distance."
A Life Talisman was a special Dharma treasure made of spiritual jade. It contained a drop of the owner's blood essence. Within a short distance, it could sense the location of the owner.
However, the most important use of this Dharma treasure was not to sense location, but to sense life.
If the owner was seriously injured, cracks would appear on the Life Talisman.
If the owner died, no matter how far away they were, the Life Talisman would shatter immediately. The owner of the Life Talisman would also know of the owner's death immediately.
However, due to the special nature of blood essence, many evil arts and supernatural powers were performed through blood essence. Cultivators were very wary of giving their blood essence to others. Usually, only the owner's loved ones would have their Life Talisman.
As her competitor, Li Mu had investigated Shangguan Li in detail.
According to Mr. Mei, she was the Empress' playmate. The two of them had played together since they were young. She was like the Empress' little sister. Li Mu still had a long way to go before he could catch up to her position in the Empress' heart.
After all, the Empress had not made a Life Talisman for him …
Li Mu accepted Shangguan Li's Life Talisman and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will bring Commander Shangguan back safely."
Zhou Yi said, "You have to be careful as well. Just in case, I will give you a few more Dharma treasures and Fu-lu …"
This was the reason why Li Mu was so loyal to the Empress.
She did not paint a big picture or talk about dreams. Every few days, she would get a promotion and a raise. She would ask for leave without asking for the reason. She never let him work overtime. Instead, she sacrificed her sleep and taught him supernatural powers and spells late at night. She could bully Li Mu, but no one else could …
With a boss like this, Li Mu could work for a lifetime.
Although Li Si should not have said those words, he was right.
The Empress lacked emotions, so she cherished them even more.
As long as someone treated her well, she would return the favor tenfold. Therefore, Li Mu could not help but treat her even better.
Zhou Yi took out a few pieces of Fu-lu and a few Dharma treasures. She also taught Li Mu how to use them.
After accepting these things, Li Mu said happily, "Thank you, Your Majesty. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."
Zhou Yi thought for a moment and said, "Take a drop of essence blood. I will make a Life Talisman for you. In the future, if you are in danger, I will be able to sense it."
Li Mu decisively cut his finger and forced out a drop of essence blood.
Although the Life Talisman could not save his life, it at least represented the Empress's attitude.
Since he set Shangguan Li as his goal, he had to have what Shangguan Li had.
After this thought appeared in his mind, Li Mu felt that something was wrong. It was as if he was competing with Shangguan Li for favor in her harem.
This made him involuntarily recall the ridiculous dream he had that night. He could not help but shiver and did not dare to think about it anymore.
Perhaps, it was because he always wanted to compete with Shangguan Li for favor that he had the nightmare of snuggling in the Empress's arms …
Not noticing Li Mu's expression, Zhou Yi flipped her hand and a square piece of Spirit Jade appeared in her hand.
She stretched out her index finger and quickly drew a rune in the void. With a light flick of her finger, the golden rune entered the Spirit Jade. When Li Mu's drop of essence blood merged with the Spirit Jade, he vaguely felt that there was a subtle connection between him and the jade.
Li Mu was shocked and envious of the Empress's magical ability to draw talismans in the void. The cultivators of the Upper Realm had too many incredible magical abilities.
Zhou Yi took Li Mu's Life Talisman and said, "If there is an accident, contact me at any time with the spirit snail. No matter what happens, remember to protect yourself first."
Li Mu: "I understand."
Zhou Yi nodded and said, "Go."
Li Mu cupped his hands and said, "I will take my leave."
After leaving the palace, Li Mu returned home and told Xiao Bai that the two of them were going back to the North Region again and would be staying there for three months.
Xiao Bai heard this and cheered happily, "Then I will go buy some gifts for Sister Liu and Sister Wanwan …"
Li Mu grabbed her in time and shook his head, "There is no need this time. We still have urgent matters to attend to. Hurry up and pack your things. We will leave now."
Shangguan Li had lost contact and he did not know what happened. Every time he delayed, she would be in more danger.
Xiao Bai quickly packed her things and the two of them left the city. They immediately used a high-grade flight talisman and flew into the sky.
Yunzhong Region was in the east of the North Region. Li Mu first sent Xiao Bai to Fu-lu School. Liu Hanyan happened to be in seclusion with Yuzhen Zi. Only Wanwan was on Baiyun Peak. Li Mu left Xiao Bai on the peak and flew to the east alone.
