Li Mu couldn't be more familiar with the middle-aged man lying on the platform.
There was a statue of him in Thousand Fox City.
Although Li Mu saw the corpse of the Heavenly Lord of Illusions, it didn't mean that he was dead. Hu Jiu could still be alive without a body, and Qian Huan had died countless times. Even if he was surrounded by three cultivators of the same level, the chances of a seventh level cultivator dying were too small.
However, to make a seventh level cultivator leave his body behind and escape with his soul, it was enough to imagine how fierce the battle was.
Chen Shiyi asked, "Grand Elder, this corpse …"
Li Mu waved his hand, and the corpse of the Heavenly Lord of Illusions disappeared.
He said, "This is the corpse of the Heavenly Lord. I will keep it for the Huan Clan. You can focus on refining the two corpses."
Chen Shiyi had already guessed the identity of this corpse, but he didn't dare to use it. He bowed and said, "Yes, Grand Elder."
Li Mu said, "I still have something to do. You will be in charge of the Corpse Sect when I'm not here."
Chen Shiyi cupped his fists and said, "I will not disappoint Grand Elder."
Li Mu rewarded him with some Fu-lu treasures and left the Corpse Sect.
Chen Shiyi accepted the First Elder's reward happily. However, he was a little worried. He could hide it for a while, but he couldn't hide it forever. After a year, if he couldn't hand over the refined corpse of the Lord of Heaven, the Sage Sect would definitely find out. By then, they would have to face more than just a Fifth Realm Black Lotus Emissary.
However, even if he died, he had to refine the two corpses. If he could use the corpses of eighth level cultivators to refine corpses, he would have no regrets even if he died.
Chen Shiyi took a deep breath and began to look forward to the return of the Sage Sect envoy.
…
Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, Thousand Demon Country.
Ever since the fall of the Demon Emperor, the once unified Demon Clan had fallen apart. The situation of the major forces ruling over a region had lasted for three thousand years.
Now, the entire Demon Country was going through a change that hadn't happened in the past three thousand years.
In these three thousand years, the Demon Country's forces had never stopped changing. Small demon races rose, large demon races fell, and the various forces swallowed each other up. This happened every few years, but the Demon Country was always able to maintain a balance.
Now, this balance had been broken.
Under the secret instigation of the Demon Path, the once hostile Thousand Fox Nation and Tian Lang Nation actually joined hands and began to annex the surrounding large and small Monster Race forces. The balance of power in the Monster Nation was broken. Some of the smaller Monster Races were in constant fear, while some of the larger Monster Races chose to surrender. There were also some that were unwilling to submit to the Demon Path and chose to stubbornly resist to the end …
The eastern part of the Yao Nation had completely fallen into the territory of the Thousand Fox Nation.
In the past, Thousand Fox Nation's sphere of influence was limited to Thousand Fox Nation and its surroundings. They didn't care about the demon clans outside their sphere of influence.
Now, under the orders of the new Monarch of Thousand Fox Country and the Grand Elder of Meizong Sect, Bai Xuan, all the experts of Thousand Fox Country and Meizong Sect were out to sweep the mountains in the eastern part of the Demon Nation and take in the various Demon Clans. Those who were willing to submit were sent to Thousand Fox Country to accept orders. Those who were unwilling to submit were exterminated and their Demon Cores and souls were taken. In recent days, some of the smaller Demon Clans in the Demon Nation were exterminated.
At this moment, the Rabbit Demon Clan of Tianfeng Mountain was facing such a situation.
The Rabbit Demon Clan was one of the weakest Demon Clans in the Demon Nation. There were only a dozen or so Rabbit Demons in this clan, and the strongest was only at the Fourth Realm. Most of them were small demons who had yet to transform. There were many great demons in the Demon Nation, and they usually didn't dare to show themselves. They could only hide in their cave abodes on Tianfeng Mountain and cultivate silently.
On Tianfeng Mountain, a man with an aquiline nose floated in the air. He looked down at the Rabbit Demons from above and asked calmly, "Have you thought it through?"
The transformed Rabbit Demons looked at each other and shook their heads.
If the Rabbit Demon Clan submitted to the Fox Clan, they would have to go to Thousand Fox Country and be ordered around by the Fox Clan. They wouldn't even have the power to decide their own lives.
Not a single rabbit had ever walked out of the Thousand Fox Country alive. It was easy to foresee what would happen to them.
They would either be used as cannon fodder and die in battles with other Demon Clans or become food for the Fox Clan.
The Fourth Realm Rabbit Demon raised his head and said, "Sir, our Rabbit Demon Clan only wants to cultivate here …"
The aquiline-nosed man said calmly, "So you're not willing to submit?"
Beside him, another subordinate said, "Sir, why are you still talking nonsense with them? Take their Demon Cores and souls. Tonight, we'll have spicy rabbit heads and rabbit stew …"
A hint of greed flashed across the aquiline-nosed man's eyes. Although he was ordered by his superiors to take in the Rabbit Demon Clan, it wouldn't do him any good even if he did. He might as well take the Demon Core of the leading Rabbit Demon. The other transformed Rabbit Demons could be used as cauldrons to absorb their Dharmic powers. As for the remaining Rabbit Demons who hadn't transformed, he could bring them back and stew them.
A hint of bloodlust flashed across his sharp eyes. He said sternly, "Since you're not willing to submit, then die …"
As soon as he said that, his body swooped down from the sky.
Against the weakest Rabbit Demon, he didn't even bother to use weapons. His hands turned into sharp eagle claws, and his nails shone with a cold light. He grabbed at the Fourth Realm Rabbit Demon's abdomen.
Although the two demons were both Fourth Realm, the Eagle Demon's Dharmic powers were much stronger than the Rabbit Demon's. In terms of bloodline, the Eagle Demon suppressed the Rabbit Demon.
The Eagle Demon was extremely fast. Although the Rabbit Demon was more agile and kept dodging, it still couldn't make up for the difference in strength.
Poof!
At a certain moment, the Rabbit Demon let out a painful growl. A bloody hole appeared in its abdomen.
A bloody Demon Core floated in the Eagle Demon's palm. He licked his lips, opened his mouth, and swallowed it directly.
Most of the Core Formation Stage Demon's Cultivation was in the Demon Core. After losing the Demon Core, the Rabbit Demon's Cultivation immediately fell to the Transformation Stage.
The Rabbit Demon didn't care about wiping the blood at the corner of his mouth. He gritted his teeth and said, "Run!"
"Big Brother!"
The other female Rabbit Demons had tears of grief and anger on their faces. When they wanted to escape, they found that they were already surrounded by the Eagle Demon's subordinates.
The Eagle Demon licked the blood at the corner of his mouth and said, "Kill all the male Rabbits. Keep the female Rabbits and send them to my room tonight …"
Just as the demons were about to attack, a ray of light flashed across their heads.
A young Eagle Demon raised his head and said angrily, "Who is it? Come down!"
The Eagle Demon Clan had pledged allegiance to the Thousand Fox Country. No one in the Demon Kingdom dared to provoke them. Someone actually dared to fly over their heads.
The ray of light had already flown over, but when it heard the voice, it flew back and landed on the mountain peak.
It was a young and handsome human man. He looked at the young Eagle Demon and asked, "You called me?"
When the Eagle Demon saw Li Mu, he was stunned for a moment and blurted out, "Human?"
The Demon Kingdom was a forbidden area for humans. Who would have the guts to swagger in the air here? His cultivation shouldn't be high. He didn't expect that not only would he be able to eat a Demon Core today, he would also be able to swallow a human Primordial Spirit. The Eagle Demon was overjoyed and immediately flew towards the young human.
A ray of golden light flew out from the young man's hand and turned into a rope that wrapped around the Eagle Demon's neck.
The Eagle Demon felt that the spiritual power in his body couldn't circulate and fell from the sky.
He was shocked and knew that this person was not to be trifled with. He immediately shouted, "I'm a disciple of the Meizong Sect in the Thousand Fox Country. If you dare to hurt me, the Meizong Sect won't let you go …"
"Meizong Sect?"
Li Mu glanced at him and shook his head. "The Meizong Sect is getting more and more casual with their recruitment."
He came to the Thousand Fox Country alone and just happened to lack first-hand information. He was still worried about where to ask when a demon came to him.
Li Mu directly pressed his hand on the Eagle Demon's head and forcefully searched his soul.
The Glory Sect sent three elders to ambush the Heavenly Lord of Myriad Illusions who was in seclusion. The Heavenly Lord of Myriad Illusions was severely injured and only his primordial spirit managed to escape. The three Glory Sect elders were also severely injured and are recuperating in the Thousand Fox Country. With the help of the Glory Sect elders, Bai Xuan's cultivation base has broken through to the sixth level. He is now the king of the Thousand Fox Country and the Great Elder of Meizong Sect. He is currently looking for Huan Ji in the entire Demon Country … "
The information Li Mu found from the Eagle Demon was similar to what he heard from Lord Ju, but more detailed.
The Lord of Illusions was indeed not dead. For existences like them, as long as a trace of their Primordial Spirit was still alive, it was difficult for them to completely die.
The fact that Primordial Spirit was not captured was also good news.
In addition, the Demon Path really wanted the Celestial Wolf Tribe and the Thousand Fox Country to unify the entire Demon Kingdom. Their goal was self-evident. When the Demon Kingdom was unified, it would be the time for them to wage war against the Great Zhou.
Li Mu finished searching the Eagle Demon's memories for the past few months. The Eagle Demon's expression became dull. His mouth opened and saliva flowed out.
He let go of his hand and the demon fell to the ground.
Then he saw a few rabbit demons standing in the distance, looking at him in horror and trembling.
Li Mu's throat moved. Hu Jiu was right. Lady Rabbit and Lady Cat were much cuter than the other demons.
Although they had transformed into human form, they still retained their long, furry ears. At this moment, due to the shock, their rabbit ears were drooping. Their hands were hanging in front of their chests, and their beautiful faces were pale. However, they looked even cuter and could easily arouse the pity of others. Li Mu could not help but want to go up and rub their ears …
