Li Mu was in a valley covered in green grass.
In the distance, the mountains were green, and nearby, there was a gurgling stream. Foxes were jumping on the grass beside the stream. Some of them only had one or two tails, while some had a bunch of tails behind them. Some had five, six, seven, or eight tails behind them.
On a rock in the distance stood a slender White Fox.
Behind it, nine long tails fluttered in the wind.
Li Mu swallowed his saliva. The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was a supreme being among demons. It was comparable to a True Dragon. It was the highest form of the Fox Clan. It was also the ultimate goal of Little White, Fantasy Princess, and the other fox demons.
Nine-tailed Fox looked back at Li Mu. Their eyes met and Li Mu felt dizzy. Then, he realized that the one standing on the rock was himself.
…
In the morning, Li Mu slowly opened his eyes in Phantom Princess's room.
Phantom Princess sat beside the table and asked, "What did you see?"
Li Mu said, "White fog, thick white fog."
Phantom Princess continued to ask, "What else?"
Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "A three-tailed fox, a charm god art, an illusion god art …"
The mystical thing about the Heavenly Book was that different people would see different things when they comprehended it. Every time they comprehended it, the things they saw would also be different. Charm and illusion were the basic divine abilities of the Fox Clan after they transformed. Even if they comprehended it, it wouldn't be of much use.
Phantom Princess didn't tell Li Mu that he didn't comprehend anything useful from the Heavenly Book. She only said, "Cultivate well in the future. These two god arts are also very powerful when cultivated to a high level."
Li Mu cupped his fists and said, "I will work hard."
Walking out of Phantom Princess's courtyard, Li Mu's expression was a bit melancholy.
Hu Jiu floated over and asked, "What's wrong? Master Phantom Princess scolded you again?"
Li Mu didn't answer and just put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Let's go and drink. It's my treat today."
Hu Jiu was shocked, "Did the sun rise from the west today? You're treating me?"
"Why don't you treat?"
"Just pretend that I didn't say anything …"
…
It would take Huan Ji two or three days to gather the experts of the Meizong Sect. During these days, there was nothing urgent. Li Mu and Hu Jiu were drinking and eating in a restaurant in the Thousand Fox City, chatting with each other intermittently.
Now that Li Mu had achieved his goal, it was time to consider leaving.
His initial plan was to help Xiao Bai obtain the subsequent cultivation method, and then take the opportunity to escape. From then on, the name of Daniel Wu would completely disappear from the Monster Race.
But when the day came, Li Mu couldn't be so straightforward.
To Hu Jiu and Huan Ji, Little Snake was a member of Meizong Sect. Although he was a little stubborn, he was loyal and did not fear death. They would let Little Snake live in their hearts forever.
Li Mu asked casually, "When will the Lord of Heaven come out of seclusion?"
Hu Jiu said, "Why do you ask?"
Li Mu smiled honestly and said, "I admire the Lord of Heaven very much. I don't know when I can meet him."
Hu Jiu shook her head and said, "I think it will be a long time. The Lord of Heaven has been in seclusion often these years, and each time he stays in seclusion is longer than the last. I'm afraid we'll have to wait for a year and a half this time …"
Li Mu was actually most worried about Illusion Lord of Heaven coming out of seclusion. The power of a Seventh Realm expert was beyond his imagination. If Illusion Lord of Heaven could see through his disguise, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
Li Mu was relieved to hear this from Hu Jiu.
When they were halfway through their meal, a bell suddenly rang on the peak.
It was the bell of Meizong Sect for gathering. They didn't delay and immediately flew to the peak.
Many people from Meizong Sect had already gathered on the peak. Illusion Princess and Prince Bai Xuan of Thousand Fox Country were also there. They were both Elders of Meizong Sect.
Another handsome man with Sixth Realm cultivation who looked similar to Illusion Princess was accompanying a young man. The young man was dressed in white with a black lotus embroidered on his chest.
Li Mu's eyes turned cold.
The black lotus was the symbol of the Demonic Path Sacred Sect.
The status of the Demonic Path Sacred Sect in Demonic Path was equivalent to the status of Baiyun Mountain Ancestral Court in Fu-lu School. The sub-sects didn't submit to anyone, but the Sacred Sect had absolute control over the other nine sects.
Even a long time ago, these nine sects were separated from the Sacred Sect.
As a force that existed longer than Taoism and Buddhism, the Demonic Path Sacred Sect had always been a synonym for mystery. Outsiders, even the other sects of the Demonic Path, knew very little about them.
Li Mu had the memory of Thousand Illusions Venerable, but he only knew that the Sacred Sect was very powerful. There might be existences beyond the Seventh Realm among them.
Even the Demon Emperor Bai from three thousand years ago was extremely afraid of the Demonic Path in the depths of his memory.
The Meizong Sect gathered this time just to welcome this person from the Sacred Sect.
Not long after, the young man from the Sacred Sect went to the palace. The people of the Meizong Sect dispersed. Li Mu and Hu Jiu returned to the restaurant. They had only finished half of their food and wine.
Hu Jiu looked in the direction of the palace. She raised her head and took a sip of wine. She sighed softly.
Li Mu asked, "What's wrong?"
Hu Jiu said worriedly, "The people from the Sacred Sect have come with ill intentions. The conflict between the Lord of Heaven and the Sacred Sect has been going on for a long time. The Lord of Heaven didn't agree with the matter of the Jiujiang Commandery Chief. Later, the Sacred Sect bypassed the Lord of Heaven and sent Cui Ming to the Great Zhou court through the case of the Jiujiang Commandery Chief. The Lord of Heaven had no choice but to accept it. All these years, the Lord of Heaven has been cultivating wholeheartedly. The First Elder and Lord Illusion Princess have disobeyed the orders of the Sacred Sect many times.
The Sacred Sect has been disobeyed by the Sacred Sect and the Sacred Sect … "There was still too little information about the Demon Sect from the imperial court. If Hu Jiu hadn't mentioned it, Li Mu wouldn't have known about the conflict between the Sacred Sect and the Meizong Sect.
Many people from the Meizong Sect and the Meizong Sect also wanted to overthrow the Great Zhou court. However, they overthrew the rule of the Great Zhou in order to establish a Demon Clan regime. They didn't want the Demon Clan to be exploited and killed by humans.
The Meizong Sect hated humans, but she didn't vent her anger on all humans.
Over the years, while they rescued the Demon Clan, they also rescued many humans.
However, some people from the Demon Clan only wanted to destroy and kill. The Meizong Sect ignored the orders of the Sacred Sect and gradually incurred the dissatisfaction of the Sacred Sect …
Li Mu was certainly happy to see the internal strife of the Demon Clan. However, Hu Jiu was quite worried. The mysteriousness and power of the Sacred Sect were rooted in the deepest part of everyone's heart. Even the Lord Saint wouldn't have a good end if he went against them.
The Sacred Sect emissary stayed in the Thousand Fox Country for two days. The royal family of the Fox Country accompanied him the whole time. Illusion Princess also had to accompany him. Therefore, she didn't order Li Mu around these two days.
Imperial Palace.
Illusion Princess received Hu Jiu's message. Several strong people from the Meizong Sect had already returned to the Thousand Fox City. She cupped her hands to the youth and said, "Lord Emissary, I still have important matters to attend to. Please forgive me for leaving first."
The youth didn't speak. The Crown Prince of the Thousand Fox Country, Bai Xuan, looked at her and said with dissatisfaction, "Junior Sister, you don't know the rules. What is more important than the Lord Emissary?"
Illusion Princess said calmly, "There are countless people suffering. I have to go save them."
Bai Xuan said angrily, "Junior Sister, you …"
The youth in white smiled and said, "Saving people is more important. Miss Illusion Princess, you can go."
Illusion Princess cupped her hands to him and flew away.
After Illusion Princess left, Bai Xuan said apologetically, "Lord Emissary, please don't be angry. My junior sister has been so unruly since she was young."
The youth in white looked at the sky and said lightly, "She's not the only one who doesn't know the rules in the Huan Family."
Hearing this, Bai Xuan was shocked and didn't know what to say.
The youth in white looked at him and said, "I actually came this time to tell you something."
Bai Xuan cupped his hands and bowed. He said respectfully, "Please tell me, Lord Emissary."
The youth in white said, "The elders hope that the Bai Family can control the Meizong Sect."
Bai Xuan was ecstatic, but his face showed a difficult expression. He said, "The Meizong Sect trusts Master. Senior Brother Huan Yun and Junior Sister Huan Ji are the controllers of the Meizong Sect. Although the Bai Family has many people in the Meizong Sect, they don't have much power. After all, Master is at the seventh realm and Senior Brother Huan Yun is at the sixth realm …"
The youth in white said, "It's not important whether you can or not. What's important is whether you want to or not."
Bai Xuan said, "I want to, but Master won't agree. Senior Brother Huan Yun and Junior Sister Huan Ji won't give up the Meizong Sect …"
The youth in white smiled and asked, "What if they all die?"
Bai Xuan's face turned red. He said, "Lord Emissary, the Heavenly Monarch is my Master. Senior Brother Huan Yun is like my brother. Junior Sister Huan Ji is my most beloved woman …"
The youth in white said, "So you can't do it?"
Bai Xuan took a deep breath and said, "Please let me do it myself. My Bai Family is the king of the Fox Family. I've tolerated that old thing for a long time!"
The youth in white smiled and said, "Very good …"
Not long after, Bai Xuan came to the Huan Ji Manor. A servant said, "Your Highness, Lord Huan Ji just left."
Bai Xuan said with a worried expression, "What should we do? I just did a divination for Junior Sister Huan Ji. The divination showed a bad omen …"
