Cui Ming finally got what he deserved.
What goes around comes around. Mrs. Chu died because of him, and he also died in her hands, or perhaps in her mouth.
Mrs. Chu had been living for revenge for the past 20 years. Now that she had gotten her revenge, she felt a little lost.
Mr. Mei thought for a while and asked, "What do you plan to do in the future?"
Mrs. Chu shook her head and said, "I don't know."
Mr. Mei said, "If you don't have anywhere to go, you can come back to Fairy's Capital with us. If you're willing to become an internal guard, the imperial court can provide you with the resources you need for cultivation …"
After the spy incident was exposed this time, the internal guards suffered a great loss, especially the Fifth Realm Devil Sect spy. Among the internal guards without a Sixth Realm, he was already considered a core force. Every loss of one was a great loss to the internal guards.
Mrs. Chu was strong enough and had a clean background. She was the most suitable person to recruit.
Mrs. Chu was obviously hesitant. She looked at Li Mu.
Li Mu said, "This is your own business. You can decide for yourself."
Mrs. Chu thought for a while and nodded. "I'm willing."
She had to thank two people for getting her revenge. One was Li Mu, and the other was the Empress. Li Mu didn't need her to stay by his side. She could only do something for the Empress to repay her kindness.
Mr. Mei and Shangguan Li left under the escort of the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War. Li Mu lay on a stone chair in the courtyard and sighed in relief. "It's finally over …"
He had been worried about Cui Ming's matter for several months, and now the dust had finally settled.
He had gotten his revenge on Su He. He had also escaped from the Bay of Clearwater and regained his freedom. He had also reconciled with the female corpse. Li Mu had a lot of things off his mind. He felt relaxed.
He lay on the stone chair. A pair of hands rested on his shoulders and gently massaged them.
"Left, left, a little to the left. Yes, here."
"A little to the right. Over, over, over, come back a little …"
…
Li Mu closed his eyes comfortably. Then he realized that Wanwan and Xiao Bai were not here. Who was massaging his shoulders?
He immediately opened his eyes. Su He looked at him with a smile and asked, "Are you comfortable?"
Li Mu stood up and hurriedly said, "I didn't know it was you …"
Just as he stood up, he was pressed down by Su He. She put her hand on Li Mu's shoulder and said, "You helped me take revenge. Consider it as me repaying you …"
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "What kind of relationship do we have? There's no need to talk about repayment …"
Su He asked, "What's our relationship?"
Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "You saved my life, and I saved yours. We are friends of life and death. We are not brother and sister, but we are more than brother and sister …"
Su He said, "Only brother and sister? When we were at the Bay of Clear Water, you called me your wife …"
Li Mu hurriedly explained, "That was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I can swear that I never had that kind of thought about you …"
As soon as he finished speaking, his expression changed. He grabbed her hand and said, "Ah, gentler, gentler, it hurts …"
Su He picked him up and said, "Stinky brother, how can an older sister serve her younger brother? It's your turn to massage me …"
Women really changed their expressions as quickly as flipping a book. In this regard, Su He and Liu Hanyan were no different.
Li Mu stayed at the old mansion for another half a day before preparing to return to Mount Baiyun.
Su He had to stay here temporarily to watch over her parents' graves. Li Mu planned to come back and ask her about it before returning to Luoyang.
After Li Mu left, Su He stood at the door and watched his figure disappear. Her face no longer had the frivolous and lively expression she had when Li Mu was around.
She sighed softly and said with melancholy, "If only I was born twenty years later, how good would that be …"
The two ghosts, one big and one small, stood at the door. The small ghost couldn't help but ask Su He, "Sister, why didn't you tell him what was in your heart?"
Su He rubbed her head and said, "Humans and ghosts walk different paths. You will understand in the future."
She turned and walked into the courtyard, softly humming a nameless song.
"When I was born, you were not born. When you were born, I was already old. When I was far from you, you were at the end of the world. When we were born at the same time, I vowed to be with you. When we were not older, how much did I feel? So close, yet so far, so hard to express my feelings …"
…
Li Mu returned to Mount Baiyun and learned that Liu Hanyan still hadn't come out of seclusion.
Yuzhen Zi was only one step away from Transcendence. She brought Liu Hanyan into seclusion with her, which would be of great benefit to Liu Hanyan.
If she could advance to the Creation realm a day earlier, Li Mu would be able to fly away with her a day earlier.
Without her, Li Mu also went into seclusion on Mount Baiyun.
He borrowed a Fu-lu encyclopedia from Han Zhe.
Li Mu also knew a lot of Fu-lu, but it was all basic. These basic Fu-lu books only accounted for less than one percent of the Fu-lu books in the Fu-lu School.
Apart from a few precious Fu-lu books, most of the Fu-lu books in the Fu-lu School were public.
They weren't worried about outsiders stealing their knowledge. On the contrary, whether it was The Ancestral Court of Fu-lu School or the major branches, they all hoped that the Fu-lu school could be carried forward. Naturally, the more people who understood the Dao of Fu-lu, the better.
Fu-lu School, Spirit Array School, and Pill Cauldron School, compared to the South School, North School, and Xuanzong School, which had a longer history, were all unconventional. They blazed a new path outside of the Great Dao of Remarkable Abilities, so they paid more attention to the inheritance of the school.
Most cultivators could learn the Dao of Remarkable Abilities, but Fu-lu, alchemy, and the Dao of Formations had a higher requirement of talent.
Fu-lu and alchemy were especially difficult. Almost all cultivators could get started, but if they wanted to take a step further and become a Master of Talisman and Pill Dao, it wouldn't be so easy.
The Empress was extremely wealthy, but she could only give Li Mu normal heaven-level Fu-lu. In the current cultivation world, Fu-lu mid-level heaven-level and above could only be made by Fu-lu School.
If he kept getting Fu-lu from Liu Hanyan and the Empress, he would be suspected of living off them. As a man, Li Mu's pride wouldn't allow him to keep relying on women.
Now that he had enough free time, he could study the Dao of Fu-lu in Fu-lu School. In the future, he would be able to draw them himself.
On White Cloud Peak, Li Mu was in seclusion studying Fu-lu.
In the Ghost Region of Youdu, on a mountain peak that was forever shrouded by the curtain of night, there was an eerie palace. A black shadow that had just finished his seclusion looked at an extinguished soul lamp in the palace and roared angrily, "Who exactly killed Emperor Song? If I catch you, I will definitely extract your soul and refine it!"
The few ghost generals that were kneeling in the palace trembled under the pressure of this powerful aura.
Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon had just died for less than a year, and now Emperor Song had been murdered. In a short period of time, only eight of the ten Kings of Hell were left. In the future, they might as well call him the Eighth King of Hell …
The black shadow rushed into the sky and quickly disappeared into the endless night sky.
Country of Demons, southeast, Hundred Thousand Mountains.
The southeast of the Demon Country was adjacent to the northwest of the Great Zhou. The Hundred Thousand Mountains spanned the Demon Country and the Great Zhou, connecting the Life Continent and the Zu Continent.
The Country of Demons wasn't like the Great Zhou, which was a unified country.
The Demon Country was divided by demons. Within the Life Continent, there were no less than a hundred Demon Countries of various sizes. The larger Demon Countries ruled over a region, while the smaller Demon Countries relied on the larger Demon Countries to survive.
In the Demon Capital of a certain Demon Country, in the palace, an extremely handsome middle-aged man walked out of an underground secret chamber. Outside the secret chamber, everyone, including the Demon King of the Demon Country, knelt down and said loudly, "Greetings, Heavenly Lord!"
The handsome middle-aged man said indifferently, "Cui Ming is dead."
The men and women kneeling outside the secret chamber were all unusually handsome. One of the men said in shock, "Heavenly Lord already sent a clone to help him. How could he still die? Could it be that the Great Zhou Country sent an expert of the Upper Realm?"
The middle-aged man waved his hand, and an image appeared in the sky.
In the image, there were seven bloody holes on Cui Ming's body. It was obvious that the clone of the Heavenly Lord had taken over his body.
Opposite him was a handsome young man.
The young man successively executed four types of extremely powerful Divine Abilities and Dharma Spells, which easily destroyed the Spirit Clone of the Lord of Heaven.
After a short moment of silence, there was an uproar.
"Who is this person? How can he have such a powerful magic art?"
"To be able to kill the clone of the Heavenly Lord so easily, he must be at the Sixth Realm. But how can there be such a young Sixth Realm cultivator?"
"This person's magic art is too terrifying. If anyone below the Sixth Realm encounters him, there is only death!"
…
The scene of the Heavenly Lord's clone being killed really shocked everyone.
Cui Ming, who was possessed by the Heavenly Lord's clone, had strength that was infinitely close to the Sixth Realm. But he was killed by this person with a series of magic arts. If it were anyone else, they would also die.
In the crowd, Huan Ji looked at Li Mu in disbelief.
If he had shown the strength in the image last time, she probably wouldn't have survived until today.
The Heaven Lord of Illusions looked at them and asked, "Do you know who this person is?"
Huan Ji walked forward and said, "Father, his name is Li Mu. He is an official of the Great Zhou. He was the one who almost captured me last time …"
"Li Mu …" The Heaven Lord of Illusions said lightly, "If we let him grow, he will definitely become a huge threat to the Demon Sect. Pass down my order. Anyone who can kill this person will be able to obtain a treasure personally refined by me …"
Everyone's eyes burned with excitement when they heard this.
The Heaven Lord was at the Seventh Realm. If he could obtain a treasure personally refined by him, it could easily increase his strength and even give him an extra life.
But when they thought of how terrifying Li Mu's magic arts were, it was as if a bucket of cold water was poured over their heads. Instantly, they didn't want to think about anything else.
The Heaven Lord of Illusions looked at Huan Ji and said, "That clone was destroyed. I need to go into seclusion for a period of time. I will leave the Mirage Sect and Meizong Sect to you for the time being. If you encounter something important, you can discuss it with the elders."
Huan Ji bowed and said, "Yes."
The Heaven Lord of Illusions' body disappeared into thin air. Huan Ji raised her head and looked at everyone. She said, "Send a message to all the sects. Whoever can capture Li Mu will be heavily rewarded by the Heaven Lord. That's right, tell them that I only want him alive, not dead …"
Everyone nodded and left. Huan Ji waved the two whips in her hands and said, "You better pray that you don't fall into my hands …"
Although the Ten Demon Sects were not a whole, there was little hostility between them. Most of the time, they cooperated. Between each sect, there was a special method of communication.
In just a few days, the news of the Mirage Sect and Meizong Sect offering a reward for an official named Li Mu spread throughout the Ten Demon Sects.
The reward of the Heaven Lord was extremely attractive to them.
For a time, countless people began to inquire about who this Li Mu was …
White Cloud Peak.
In the dead of night, Li Mu sat cross-legged on his bed and sneezed a few times. He guessed that someone was thinking of him. There was only one person who would think of him in the middle of the night.
The Northern County was too far away from the Divine Capital. Ever since he left the Divine Capital, the Empress could no longer meet him every night through the Dream Invasion Technique.
So he picked up the spirit conch and used his magic power to activate it. He sent a message, "Your Majesty, are you asleep …?"
