Mr. Mei looked at Shangguan Li from afar and sighed. "Now do you know the benefits of having someone by your side?"
Shangguan Li's body was still trembling slightly. She said lightly, "That's all there is to it."
Mr. Mei shook his head. "You're already so cold, yet you're still so stubborn. Girl, come, let me hug you and warm you up …"
…
Although the astral winds were bone-chilling, with Wanwan and Xiao Bai's blanket, it was warm to the heart.
It was so warm that it was a little depraved.
When he thought about how Li Qing was cultivating in seclusion while he was here, enjoying Wanwan and Xiao Bai warming his bed, Li Mu felt that he was really too depraved. After some self-reflection, he felt that he could not go on like this. He pulled his arms out of Wanwan and Xiao Bai's embrace, sat cross-legged on the bed, and continued to comprehend the Heavenly Book.
At this time, after many days of fermenting, the news of the Demon Emperor Bai Di's cave abode had finally spread.
The Six Daoist Sects, the Four Demonic Sects, the Demon Kings, and even the Great Zhou court had all participated in the fight for the Demon Emperor's cave abode. Although most people did not know the final result, one could imagine that with so many factions and countless experts, there was only one Heavenly Book and one Bai Di's inheritance. No matter who obtained it in the end, there would definitely be an extremely fierce fight …
During this period of time, the actions of the various large forces all proved this point.
Within the Demon Nation, the Bear Tribe, the Snake Tribe, the Wolf Tribe, and the Leopard Tribe suddenly formed an alliance. Before this, there were many conflicts between the various Demon Kings because of territorial disputes, and there were no signs of an alliance.
After the Four Demon Kings formed an alliance, some news also spread within their Demon Nation.
It was said that in the fight for the Demon Emperor's cave, the four Demon Kings had suffered heavy losses. The Demon Generals that they had sent out were almost completely annihilated. In order to avoid being swallowed up by the other Demon Kings after their strength was greatly damaged, they had no choice but to form an alliance.
As for the Demon Dao Demon Sect in the Demon Nation, they had always been arrogant and had constantly swallowed up the surrounding small demon tribes to expand their own forces. However, in recent days, they had suddenly become much more well-behaved. Not only had their forces shrunk, but the demons that used to rely on the Demon Sect as their backing had also become terrified.
This also confirmed some of the rumors that had spread from the territories of the Bear King and the Snake King. It was said that the Demon Sect had sent five fifth level Demon Generals into the White Emperor Cave, but none of them had returned. The Demon Sect Head Elder had lost half of his capable subordinates. It was no wonder that the Demon Sect had suddenly become obedient.
At the same time, in the faraway Youdu Ghost Region.
Soul Sect.
The two soul shadows stood in Soul Palace and looked at each other.
Two years ago, the Soul Sect had a sixth level Great Elder, and below him were the Ten Kings of Hell. Each of their cultivations were above the fifth level.
Since Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon had died in the North County, King Wuguan, Emperor Song, and the Great Elder Nether Saint had all died in the hands of Li Mu. The Soul Sect's strength had been greatly damaged. In this fight for the Demon Emperor's cave, King Qinguang had sent out five Kings of Hell.
In the end, not a single one of the five Kings of Hell had returned.
The once glorious Soul Sect had countless experts. Now, only King Qinguang, who had been forcefully raised to the sixth level, and the King of Cakravarti of the Ten Kings of Hell were left. They had completely fallen to the bottom of the Ten Sects.
If other forces in the Ghost Region had encountered such a setback, the surrounding Ghost Kings who were eyeing them covetously would have been unable to sit still. The only outcome for them was to be swallowed up and divided up.
However, no matter how weak the Soul Sect was, it was still one of the Ten Sects of the Demon Dao. With the giant tree of the Demon Dao behind them, no forces in the Ghost Region dared to swallow them up.
The main reason was that they themselves could not accept the decline of the Soul Sect.
King Qinguang said in a deep voice, "We must recruit some experts as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Soul Sect will only exist in name."
The King of Cakravarti shook his head. "The fifth level Spirits of the Ghost Region have already been absorbed by various forces. We can't snatch them from them …"
The major forces in the Ghost Region did not dare to touch the Soul Sect because they were afraid of the Demon Dao.
However, if the Soul Sect came knocking on their door, they would not be polite. With the Soul Sect's current strength, they could not afford to offend anyone.
King Qinguang said, "Not all the Spirits have joined the major forces. I heard that there is a female Spirit in the West Mountain who has just become a Spirit. A year ago, the east of the Mei Mountain was also occupied by a fifth level soul cultivator …"
The King of Cakravarti thought for a while and said, "Great Elder said that Madam Lin of the West Mountain and the powerful existence of the Mei Mountain …"
King Qinguang said, "It's them."
The King of Cakravarti shook his head. "Half a year ago, King Taishan was ordered by the Saint to invite Madam Lin, but she rejected him. The one in the Mei Mountain is extremely powerful. King Pingdeng and I went to invite her, but we did not even get to see her face. King Pingdeng was almost killed by her because he spoke rudely. If I did not mention the name of the Saint at the critical moment, the two of us would not have made it back …"
King Qinguang frowned and asked, "The two of you almost died before you even got to see her face. Could it be that the soul cultivator has already reached the sixth level?"
"No." The King of Cakravarti said. "Her cultivation is not much stronger than ours, but her remarkable ability is really terrifying. It is simply unheard of …"
King Qinguang asked, "What kind of remarkable ability?"
The King of Cakravarti said, "She can make snow fall in a ten-mile radius. The snow is bone-chilling and can harm souls. She can also control lightning, which is very effective against us …"
King Qin Guang's eyes flashed as he said, "She does have some ability. If I can subdue her, wouldn't I have another helper by my side? I definitely can't let this girl go. However, before subduing her, I need to go meet Madam Lin …"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body turned into a cloud of gray mist and left the Hall of Souls, flying towards the west.
At the same time, a certain matter caused a stir in the Demonic Path.
The reward for the second arrest of Li Mu by the Lord of Illusions was even more generous than the first.
Anyone who could capture this person alive would become the personal disciple of the Lord of Illusions and wield the Heavenly Tomes for a year.
After all, the previous reward for Li Mu was only to guide his cultivation and help him comprehend the Heavenly Tomes once.
To become the personal disciple of the Lord of Illusions and be given a year to comprehend the Heavenly Tomes … This was not a recruitment of a disciple, but a recruitment of a son-in-law.
This benefit did not seem like it was for an outsider.
Everyone knew that the Lord of Illusions had a beautiful and talented daughter. If one could become the personal disciple of the Lord of Illusions, there was a high chance, no, a 90% chance, that one could marry the Lord of Illusions and become a family with the Lord of Illusions.
As soon as this news spread, it caused a heated discussion in the Demonic Path.
"What did that Li Mu do to make the Lord of Illusions put a bounty on him?"
"This is the second time he has put a bounty on him …"
"Did he sleep with the Lord of Illusions' daughter?"
"The Lord of Illusions loves Princess Illusions very much. I think it's possible …"
"No, I must kill Li Mu. It's not to become the personal disciple of the Lord of Illusions or to comprehend the Heavenly Tomes. The main thing is that I can't tolerate him sullying Princess Illusions!"
"Forget it. The Lord of Illusions said that he only wants him alive …"
"Why is it so much harder to capture him alive than dead …"
…
The Lord of Illusions' bounty for Li Mu was not only limited to the Demonic Path. No matter if it was the Demon Race, Ghost Race, or Human Race, as long as they could bring Li Mu to him alive, they would be rewarded by the Lord of Illusions.
As for why the Lord of Illusions only wanted him alive, everyone speculated.
In the end, they all agreed that it was because Li Mu had abandoned Princess Illusions and angered the Lord of Illusions. The Lord of Illusions must have planned to use extremely cruel methods to torture him after capturing him alive.
…
In the Changle Palace, Zhou Yi was holding a secret report from the Demon Sect. He looked at Li Mu and said with interest,
"The spies from the Demon Sect said that you made the Lord of Illusions' daughter pregnant. The Lord of Illusions has put a bounty on you in the Zu Continent. The person who captures you alive will become his personal disciple and will have one year to comprehend a page of the Heavenly Tomes … When did the thing between you and that fox happen?"
Wanwan was so shocked that her mouth was wide open. She didn't even realize that the candy in her hand had fallen out.
Xiao Bai was in a daze. Thinking that her benefactor already had another fox outside, she suddenly felt that her life was bleak.
Could it be that her benefactor's love for her would disappear …?
