The group flew across the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Half a day later, they landed in a city in the mountains.
The handsome little demon asked the handsome man next to him, "Brother Hu Jiu, where are we?"
The handsome man smiled and said, "This is the Thousand Fox Country. It's also where the Meizong Sect is located."
After entering the city, everyone dispersed. Hu Jiu said to Li Mu, "Come with me."
Although the Thousand Fox Country was a demon country, the demon capital was no different from a human city. There were streets, shops, all kinds of buildings, teahouses, taverns, and even brothels in the city. If it weren't for the demon Qi emitting from the people passing by, it would be impossible to tell that this was a demon country.
Although the demon race and the human race were often at odds with each other, they also yearned for the human race's appearance and the splendid culture they created.
The royal family of the Thousand Fox Country were fox demons, but there weren't many fox demons on the streets. Most of them were demons of other races that were attached to the fox race. The other demon countries were probably in a similar situation.
In addition to demons, there were also humans on the streets, but there were very few of them. They should all be from the Meizong Sect.
Hu Jiu led the little demon through several streets and walked into a very large mansion.
The two of them came to a side courtyard near the front of the mansion. Hu Jiu brought him to a room and said, "This is Lord Huan Ji's mansion. You can stay here for now. When you have enough contributions, you can use your contributions to move out and live in a separate mansion … Okay, you rest first. I'll come and see you tomorrow morning."
Hu Jiu walked out of the room and the door closed automatically.
The handsome little demon sat on the bed and let out a long sigh of relief.
When he was discovered by Phantom Princess during the day, Li Mu wanted to escape directly into the Sky Teapot Space. But on second thought, this was a rare opportunity. If he missed it, Xiao Bai's cultivation would be delayed for a long time.
As the saying goes, you can't catch a fox without entering the fox's den.
For Xiao Bai's cultivation and to find out the details of the Meizong Sect, Li Mu finally chose to take the risk.
Only by getting close to Huan Ji would he have the chance to obtain the subsequent cultivation methods of the Fox Clan. Furthermore, he wanted to find out how many spies Meizong had planted in the imperial court.
The Meizong Sect liked handsome and beautiful men and women. As an enemy, the Phantom Princess had extended an olive branch to Li Mu from the start. It could be seen that the Meizong Sect was lacking in people. Of course, Li Mu could not use his original appearance. For safety's sake, he pretended to be an extremely handsome snake demon.
For Li Mu, who possessed the Demon Clan's Heavenly Book, pretending to be a demon was a simple matter.
He could even use the demon race's divine ability to change his form and transform into a snake.
What happened after that went according to his expectations.
As long as they didn't get too close to Lord of Heaven Illusion, they wouldn't be discovered. On the way there, Li Mu had already learned from Hu Jiu that Lord of Heaven Illusion had just gone into seclusion. Moreover, the seclusion this time was extremely long. Before the seclusion, he had completely handed over Meizong to Huan Ji.
In other words, Thousand Fox Nation and Meizong Sect would not have a Seventh Realm powerhouse guarding them for a very long time.
In other words, Li Mu could do it boldly.
Right now, he was just a newcomer and couldn't gain Huan Ji's trust. He could only take one step at a time and wait for the right time.
He first secretly sent a message to Liu Hanyan and the Empress, informing them of his plan and telling them not to worry. Then, he turned off the lights and went to sleep. From now on, he was an ordinary little demon in Huan Ji's residence.
The next day, Li Mu had just woken up when a familiar voice came from outside the door. "Little snake, are you awake?"
It wasn't Li Mu's first time seeing Hu Jiu. When Huan Ji brought people into the White Emperor Cave Abode last time, Hu Jiu was by her side.
Perhaps Hu Jiu felt that this name was familiar, so she didn't call him by the fake name he gave himself. Li Mu got out of bed, opened the door, and asked with a smile, "Big Brother Hu Jiu, what's the matter so early in the morning?"
Hu Jiu walked into the room and put a pile of things on the table. She introduced them one by one, "This is your waist token, which can prove your identity as Meizong Sect. These spiritual jades are the cultivation resources you can receive every month. Originally, with your level, you only received ten pieces, but Lord Huan Ji said that you just joined Meizong Sect, so she gave you an extra ten pieces this month. I see that you don't have any weapons, so I'll give you this sword. Although it's not a powerful Dharma treasure, it should be enough …"
Other things aside, Meizong Sect treated newcomers very well.
Not only did they provide him with food and accommodation, but he also got paid before he made any contributions to Meizong Sect. Not to mention other things, just the sword in Li Mu's hand at this moment was of a higher grade than Bai Yi.
Hu Jiu continued, "Your strength is too low, so I don't have any important tasks for you for the time being. You should cultivate slowly and advance to the Upper Realm as soon as possible. Now, you have to come with me to see Lord Huan Ji …"
Walking out of the courtyard, Li Mu asked, "Big Brother Hu Jiu, why is Lord Huan Ji looking for me?"
Hu Jiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, although Lord Huan Ji has a noble status, she usually treats her subordinates very well. Following Lord Huan Ji, there are countless benefits. She should be looking for you today because of the sect entrance ceremony."
"What sect entrance ceremony?"
"You'll know in a while."
Hu Jiu led Li Mu all the way and soon entered a spacious courtyard.
The courtyard was very large. There were artificial mountains, ponds, grass gardens, and everything else. Huan Ji stood with her back to the door. Hu Jiu led Li Mu in and bowed, "Lord Huan Ji, I've brought him here."
Li Mu also bowed and said, "Greetings, Lord Huan Ji."
Huan Ji turned around, looked at Li Mu, and said lightly, "Those who enter my Meizong Sect must abide by the rules of Meizong Sect and keep the secret of Meizong Sect. Those who betray Meizong Sect, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will personally kill you. You still have the chance to go back on your words."
Li Mu pointed to the sky and said, "I, Daniel Wu, swear to the heavens that if I betray Meizong Sect, let me become a dog …"
For the Snake Clan, there was nothing more ruthless than this oath. Li Mu learned this from the two sisters, Yin Xin and Ting Xin.
Hu Jiu smiled and said, "Your Snake Clan still doesn't like the Dog Clan."
Li Mu coldly snorted and said, "From the moment they pledged allegiance to humans, they were no longer Monster Clan, but our enemies."
Huan Ji crossed her arms and said, "Well, as long as you do one more thing, you can become an official disciple of Meizong Sect."
Li Mu cupped his fists and said, "Please instruct me, Lord Huan Ji."
Huan Ji pointed to a stone statue next to the rockery and said, "Slash it with your sword."
Although he didn't know what strange rule this was, Li Mu still walked to the stone statue next to the rockery. When he raised his sword, he was stunned for a moment, but it was only for a moment. Then, the sword in his hand fiercely slashed down.
Clang!
Li Mu's sword slashed the stone statue, leaving a shallow sword mark. He walked back and asked curiously, "Why do you want to slash this stone statue?"
Huan Ji looked at him indifferently and said, "This is not something you should ask."
On the way back, Hu Jiu explained to Li Mu, "That person is Lord Huan Ji's enemy. If you meet him in the future, you have to avoid him."
Li Mu was confused and asked, "Why? If I meet him, shouldn't I kill him to avenge Lord Huan Ji?"
Hu Jiu glanced at him and said, "Then you have to have the ability to do so. This person's Dharma Power is very strong. Countless cultivators of the Devil's Doctrine have died at his hands, including the First Elder of the Origin Soul Sect, Nether Saint. If you could kill him, you wouldn't be here."
Li Mu smiled embarrassedly and asked, "What enmity does this person have with Lord Huan Ji? Why does Lord Huan Ji hate him so much?"
Hu Jiu glanced at him and said, "Don't ask about Lord Huan Ji."
Li Mu immediately became serious and said, "I know."
Hu Jiu added, "However, if this person happens to fall into your hands in the future, don't kill him. Bring him back and hand him over to Lord Huan Ji. You will receive countless benefits and even have the chance to comprehend the Heavenly Book. Although that Heavenly Book belongs to the Fox Clan, other clans can also benefit from it."
Li Mu shook his head and said, "Forget it. Even such a strong strong person is not his match. Wouldn't I be courting death if I go?"
Hu Jiu slapped his head and said angrily, "You are a snake demon. How can you be more cowardly than a rat demon? You are a disgrace to the snake clan."
Li Mu laughed and said, "There is nothing wrong with being careful. Only by being careful can we live longer …"
Hu Jiu nodded and said, "That's right. That Li Mu is not only strong, but also very handsome. Even a strong person like the Empress of the Great Zhou is infatuated with him. It is said that he often goes in and out of the palace and sleeps in the Empress' bedroom …"
Li Mu said in surprise, "You know this too?"
Hu Jiu smiled and said, "The spies of the Meizong Sect are all over the world. You will know in the future …"
Li Mu's eyes shone with admiration and said, "The Meizong Sect is too powerful!"
Hu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That Li Mu is the powerful one. He did what Cui Ming couldn't do in 20 years in two years. It is said that in the imperial court, he is in charge of the imperial court alone. If we pull Li Mu into the Meizong Sect, every move of the Zhou Kingdom will be under our control. We can even control the Great Zhou through this person …"
Li Mu laughed dryly and said, "Good plan!"
Hu Jiu continued, "However, that Li Mu is a very upright person. I'm afraid it won't be easy to win him over. However, we can take advantage of his lecherous characteristics and think of a way to let the women of the Meizong Sect seduce him …"
Li Mu was stunned for a moment and said, "Lecherous?"
Hu Jiu nodded and said, "According to our spies in Luoyang, every time Li Mu goes out, there must be beauties by his side. His wife is an outstanding beauty, and the two concubines by his side are also first-class beauties. One of them is the most beautiful woman in our Fox Tribe. Not to mention, there is also the Empress of the Great Zhou … Rumor has it that this person will have ten women every night and won't get up until late in the morning …"
Li Mu said angrily, "Slander, this is pure slander!"
Hu Jiu looked at him strangely and asked, "Why are you so agitated?"
Li Mu said angrily, "Which spy provided this false information? If Li Mu really followed the Empress of the Great Zhou, how could the Empress allow him to have an affair with other women? This information is obviously false. That spy is too irresponsible. If he acted rashly based on this false information, wouldn't he be letting our sisters of the Meizong Sect walk into a trap?"
After thinking deeply, Hu Jiu said, "What you said makes sense. That Li Mu seducing the Empress of the Great Zhou may be false, but it must be true that he is easily fascinated by women. Is it possible to win him over through the woman beside him …"
