Li Mu sighed with Hu Jiu, "Yes, who leaked the secret?"
Hu Jiu looked at Li Mu and seemed to realize something. She murmured, "Damn it, did I accidentally leak it when I was drunk?"
"Shh."
Li Mu put his index finger on his lips and said, "Brother Hu Jiu, be careful. Don't drink anymore …"
…
In the end, Meizong Sect did not find out the spy. The matter of Hu Liu being exposed was left unsettled.
In Illusion Princess Mansion, Li Mu put his hand on Illusion Princess's shoulder, but his mind was not on her.
He could not go on like this. He did not have the patience to spy beside Illusion Princess for eight to ten years. When Lord of Illusions came out, the risk of him being exposed would increase greatly.
He had to get the Tomes of Arcane as soon as possible. But how?
Li Mu massaged Illusion Princess's shoulder with no interest. A figure in white slowly walked in from outside.
It was an extremely handsome young man. He walked in with a smile on his face, and a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes when he saw Li Mu behind Huan Ji. After that, he said, "Junior Sister, he's the snake demon that joined the Charm Sect not long ago, right? Junior Sister, have you investigated him?"
Illusion Princess looked at him indifferently and said, "Are you suspecting my people?"
The young man smiled and said, "Junior Sister, don't misunderstand. I am just reminding you. Hu Liu's incident happened not long ago. We have to be vigilant. If someone with ulterior motives sneaks into Meizong Sect and something like Hu Liu happens again, Meizong Sect will lose."
After saying this, he said, "Father is holding a banquet in the palace tonight. Mother asked me to invite Junior Sister."
Illusion Princess said without hesitation, "I have something important to do tonight. You can go back first. I am going to cultivate."
The young man nodded and said, "Then I will go back first."
After turning around, the smile on his face disappeared and was replaced by a gloomy look.
Seeing the young man turn around and leave, Li Mu looked away from his back.
He had been in the Thousand Fox Nation for some time and had some understanding of this person's identity. This person was also a fox demon, but compared to other fox demons, his status was much more noble. He was the only disciple of the Lord of Illusions and the Crown Prince of the Thousand Fox Nation.
Although the Myriad Illusion Heavenly Lord had a high status in Thousand Fox and was respected by the demons, the Huan Clan was not a royal clan. The royal family of Thousand Fox was surnamed Bai and the royal family was the Bai Clan.
However, the Ten Thousand Illusions Lord was very powerful. Even the Imperial Family respected him very much. The Phantom Princess also had a high status in the Thousand Fox Country.
Li Mu had heard from Hu Jiu more than once that Bai Xuan, the Crown Prince of the Thousand Fox Country, had been chasing after Huan Ji. Everyone knew that even though the Lord of Heaven had a son and a daughter, Lord Huan Ji was the one who received the true teachings of the Lord of Heaven. The Lord of Heaven had even passed down the Heavenly Book to her. Whoever could marry Huan Ji or be married by her would have a limitless future.
Entering the Meizong Sect, capturing Li Mu, and marrying Huan Ji were the three highest ideals of the demons of Thousand Fox Country.
Li Mu stood behind Huan Ji and said, "The Crown Prince likes Lord Huan Ji …"
Huan Ji said indifferently, "The line of people who like me can stretch from here to the Divine Capital. Bai Xuan is not one of them … I heard from Hu Jiu that you also like me?"
Hu Jiu did not disappoint Li Mu. As long as he told Hu Jiu a secret, it was the same as telling everyone.
Li Mu said honestly, "The first time I saw Lord Huan Ji, I fell in love with you. I have liked you for a long time."
If other girls heard this, they might panic. However, Huan Ji had experienced this countless times. Even her tone did not change at all. She said, "You are too weak. I will not like a man who is weaker than me."
Li Mu did not know what was wrong with her. If the Empress also thought this way, she would probably be lonely for the rest of her life.
Although he was complaining in his heart, his expression became firm. He said, "I will work hard to cultivate."
Huan Ji shook her head. She could not bear to hurt him anymore. After all, she had bullied him enough. She had to give him some hope.
At this moment, Li Mu asked again, "Lord Huan Ji, what kind of contribution do I need to make to be able to comprehend the Heavenly Book?"
Huan Ji asked casually, "Why do you need to comprehend the Heavenly Book?"
Li Mu said, "I heard that the Heavenly Book contains the laws of heaven and earth. Those who comprehend the Heavenly Book can comprehend the laws of heaven and earth and become stronger."
Huan Ji did not expect him to be so determined to become stronger. She smiled and said, "You don't need to make any contributions. Follow me for five years. After five years, I will ask my father to make an exception and let you comprehend the Heavenly Book once …"
Li Mu shook his head, "Five years is too long. I have no chance …"
Huan Ji leaned comfortably on the chair and said, "Then there is no other way. Unless you can subdue the Wolf Clan or capture Li Mu alive in front of me. Or you can bring the heads of the top ten Heretical Cultivation here …"
After a while.
Li Mu found Hu Jiu and asked, "What are the top ten Heretical Cultivation?"
Hu Jiu asked in confusion, "Why do you ask this?"
Li Mu said, "Tell me first."
Hu Jiu explained, "The top ten Heretical Cultivation are the ten hangers-on of the Jiujiang Commandery Prince. They are all evil people. Their hands are stained with the blood of the Demon Clan. The Meizong Sect has tried to assassinate them many times, but they are not weak and very cunning. They are also protected by the Great Zhou court. We have been helpless against them …"
The top ten Heretical Cultivation did not refer to the ten most powerful Heretical Cultivation cultivators, but specifically to the ten hangers-on of the Jiujiang Commandery Prince. Their cultivation was the strongest in the Creation Realm, and the weakest in the Heretical Cultivation. Their strength was not the strongest, but their background was the most profound. They firmly controlled the black industry that sold and hunted the Demon Clan. Countless Demons were killed by them. Some were killed for their elixirs and souls, and some were sold to cultivators as Cultivation Furnaces or entertainment tools. Because they had the support of the Jiujiang Commandery Prince and the imperial court, no one dared to provoke them.
Hu Jiu looked at Li Mu and asked, "Why do you ask this?"
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Just asking …"
…
In the morning, after Huan Ji got up and washed up, she habitually shouted, "Li Mu!"
No one in the courtyard next to her responded.
"Li Mu?"
Huan Ji shouted a few more times, but there was still no response. She flew to the courtyard next door, but there was no sign of Li Mu. She opened the door, and the quilt on the bed was neatly folded.
She thought that Li Mu had gone out, but he did not appear for the entire day.
It was not until night time that Huan Ji found Hu Jiu and asked, "Did you see Li Mu today?"
Hu Jiu was surprised and said, "Little Snake, isn't Little Snake following you from morning to night?"
Huan Ji said, "I didn't see him today."
Hu Jiu said, "I'll send someone to look for him."
Not long after, Hu Jiu flew back with a puzzled expression and said, "I've looked everywhere in the city. Bathhouses, brothels, and taverns, but there was no sign of him."
Li Mu had never disappeared for no reason, except for the time when he broke into the Heretical Cultivation Organization alone and took back Hu Jiu's body.
Huan Ji seemed to have realized something and blurted out, "Did he really go to kill the top ten Heretical Cultivation?"
"The top ten Heretical Cultivation Organization!" Hu Jiu also remembered something and said in shock, "He just asked me about the top ten Heretical Cultivation Organization yesterday. Why would he go to kill them?"
Huan Ji was annoyed and said, "I told him that as long as he killed the top ten Heretical Cultivation Organization, he would be able to comprehend the Heavenly Book. I didn't expect him to really go!"
Hu Jiu was worried and said, "Lord Huan Ji, you shouldn't have said that. You know that Little Snake looks smart, but he is stubborn. Even if you were just joking, he would definitely take it seriously!"
Huan Ji was also regretful and murmured, "I, how would I know that he would really go …"
Hu Jiu flew around anxiously and said, "It's over, it's over. If he wants to kill the top ten Heretical Cultivation Organization, he will definitely go to Jiujiang County and the Jiujiang County King's Mansion. There are countless experts there. He will die there. No, Little Snake is so beautiful, he might die there. He, why does he have to comprehend the Heavenly Book …"
Huan Ji didn't know how to describe her current feelings. She knew why Li Mu had to comprehend the Heavenly Book. He wanted to become stronger because of what she said.
Just because she said that she didn't like men who were weaker than her, he risked his life for the chance to become stronger. Huan Ji's heart was very complicated. She gritted her teeth and said, "This idiot!"
