Huan Yun, the son of Heaven Lord of Illusion and the Grand Elder of Meizong, was the most important criminal in Thousand Fox City.
During the internal strife of Meizong, he and some other Elders of Meizong who disobeyed the Bai Family had their cultivation sealed and were locked in the dungeon under the palace.
Other than Huan Ji who was not in Thousand Fox Country, Hu Liu, Hu Jiu, and all the other Elders of Meizong who were loyal to Heaven Lord were captured by the Bai Family. Although Huan Yun was powerful, he could only surrender in front of the Seventh Realm Elders of Sage Sect.
Li Mu and the other two demons walked into the palace and went down the stone steps into the mountain.
In the past three days, Leopard Five and Pig Eight were guarding Huan Yun and the others.
Perhaps it was because he was a traitor, but after Bai Xuan took power, he treated everything with extreme caution. Even a small task like guarding the door was assigned to the three demons. The three demons cooperated with each other and supervised each other. No one could play any tricks in the dark.
After arriving at the dungeon, Pig Eight snorted and sat comfortably on the chair. He said, "It's so comfortable here. It's much better than guarding the city gate. I have to be exposed to the sun outside. You guys keep watch, I'll take a nap …"
"Lazy pig."
Leopard Five snorted and walked deeper into the dungeon.
Li Mu followed behind Leopard Five. Their duty was to guard these criminals and prevent them from escaping from the dungeon. If anything happened, they had to report it to their superiors immediately.
These former Meizong Sect Elites had their cultivation sealed. The chains passed through their shoulder blades and they were covered in wounds. Their auras were very weak.
Leopard Five walked all the way to the innermost part of the dungeon. He picked up the whip on the rack and whipped it hard at a figure tied to the rack.
The figure's hands and feet were tied. There were also chains passing through his shoulder blades. His hair was disheveled and he looked at Leopard Five indifferently.
Leopard Five was frightened by this gaze. But he soon realized that no matter how powerful he was in the past and how high his status was, he was just a prisoner now. What was there to be afraid of?
Thinking of this, he waved the whip even more frequently.
"Do you still think you're the Grand Elder of Meizong Sect?"
"How dare you look at me like this?"
"Try looking again!"
…
In the past, he didn't even have the qualifications to be looked at by Huan Yun. Now, he could stand in front of Huan Yun and humiliate him. This made Leopard Fifth feel a sense of accomplishment. It was the current Great Elder Bai Xuan's idea to humiliate Huan Yun every day. Not only was he following orders, but he also enjoyed the pleasure of tormenting experts.
Huan Yun's cultivation had been sealed, so this kind of whip could not hurt him. However, the physical pain and psychological humiliation were unavoidable.
After whipping himself for a while, Leopard Five handed the whip to Li Mu and said, "Eagle Seven, do you want to come?"
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Do it yourself. I'll study other torture devices."
Leopard Five's excitement had already worn off. He returned to the torture chamber at the front and called Zhu Eight to gamble with spirit jades.
Li Mu picked up a soldering iron and a pair of scissors. The torture tools in Thousand Fox Nation were even more varied than those in the Ministry of Justice. In the end, Li Mu didn't pick up any of them. He walked forward and patted Huan Yun's face. Shaking his head, he said, "I didn't expect that a Sixth Realm cultivator would end up like this …"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Huan Yun felt a surge of Dharmic powers in his body erasing all his pain and slowly repairing his body. He slowly raised his head and looked at the departing figure.
In the dungeon, Leopard Five and Zhu Eight were gambling with spirit jades. Li Mu sat on a chair and closed his eyes to rest.
It wasn't that he couldn't save Huan Yun. However, if he did, it would definitely cause a commotion. His identity was also very likely to be exposed. For the sake of the big picture, it was better to let Huan Yun suffer a little first.
The Imperial Court's alliance with the Nine Heaven Snake Clan and the Tianshan Bear Clan was rejected. Li Mu's reputation was no greater than that of the Dean of White Deer Academy. It was very likely that these two clans would ignore him.
Therefore, Li Mu didn't want to ally with them from the beginning.
The simplest way was to help Huan Ji regain control of Thousand Fox Nation and destroy the Demon Sect's plan. However, those three old fellows were still here. It was not easy to do that.
If there was only one of them, it would be fine. However, he couldn't deal with three seventh realm experts no matter what.
Li Mu didn't believe that these three old fellows would stay here forever. Although the Demon Sect's foundation was deep, there wouldn't be many seventh realm experts. These three people definitely wouldn't stay here forever.
Li Mu looked at Leopard Five and said casually, "Old Five, aren't you afraid that the Heavenly Monarch will come back and regain control of the Demon Sect? When that time comes, you will be skinned alive by the Heavenly Monarch …"
These words made Leopard Five tremble. Then, he waved his hand and said, "His Primordial Spirit is severely injured. It's impossible for him to come back. Besides, even if he comes back, the Elders of the Demon Sect won't let him go …"
Li Mu asked in return, "Will the three Elders stay here forever?"
Leopard Five said, "Don't worry. Although two Elders have already returned to the Saint Sect to recuperate, there is still one Elder who will remain here until we unify the Demon Nation. If the Heavenly Monarch dares to return, only death awaits him …"
Li Mu patted his chest and said, "Then I'm relieved …"
Now, he was really relieved.
It turned out that Thousand Fox Nation only had one injured seventh realm expert. One seventh realm expert couldn't break the defense of the Dao Bell at all. Li Mu set up the Eight Desolation Corpse Refining Array. Even if he couldn't kill him, he could trap him. If Chen Shiyi and the others finished refining the last two demon corpses and the Three Elders of You and Ming gathered, he wouldn't be afraid.
The problem now was how to find Huan Ji. Only by finding Huan Ji could his plan continue.
However, there was someone more anxious than him about finding Huan Ji.
After Bai Xuan took over, he sent out most of the experts of Meizong and Thousand Fox Nation to capture Huan Ji. Li Mu's strength alone couldn't compare to all of them.
The only thing he needed to do was to wait.
Li Mu was watching Leopard Five and Piggy Eight gamble with spirit jades when he suddenly heard footsteps outside.
The two escorted a woman in. The woman's figure was plump and her looks were also top-notch. Although she wasn't young, she had a mature charm. Leopard Five and Piggy Eight glanced at her and couldn't move their eyes away.
A handsome man walked in front. Leopard Five and Piggy Eight immediately stood up and said respectfully, "Greetings, Grand Elder!"
Li Mu also stood up and bowed.
Bai Xuan didn't even look at them and just waved his hand casually. He looked back at the voluptuous woman and said, "The Huan Family has become a thing of the past. Why are you so stubborn? I don't want to attack my own people anymore. If you're willing to submit, you'll still be an elder of Meizong, and your status will be even higher than before …"
The voluptuous woman spat and gritted her teeth. "You traitor. You betrayed your master, senior brothers, and junior sisters. I feel disgusted just by looking at you. Bai, you'll die a horrible death …"
Slap!
Bai Xuan's face sank and mercilessly gave her a slap. A handprint immediately appeared on the woman's face.
Bai Xuan didn't give her a second chance. He glanced at Leopard Five and the other two demons and said, "I'll leave her to you."
Leopard Five looked at the voluptuous woman and swallowed his saliva. He asked, "Grand Elder, can we do whatever we want with her?"
Bai Xuan patted his shoulder and said, "You can be bolder."
With that, he turned and left.
Leopard Five licked his lips. Just as he was about to walk toward the voluptuous woman, a figure blocked his path.
Eagle Seven looked at him and said, "You think I don't exist?"
