Although Li Mu guarded the prison for three days, Fox Six didn't suffer any torture after he left.
However, his reputation was damaged because of this. Everyone in Meizong of Qianhu knew that Eagle Seven was a pervert who cared more about sex than his life. However, he didn't care. They were talking about Eagle Seven behind his back. What did it have to do with Li Mu?
After resting at home for three days, Li Mu became Bai Xuan's personal guard and entered the Imperial Palace for duty.
The biggest benefit of being his personal guard was that he didn't have to run around tirelessly. What he was involved in were all confidential matters of Meizong and Qianhu.
Li Mu had two things to do now.
First, he had to find Phantom Princess. She was a legitimate demon and was very popular in Qianhu. Only she could replace Bai Xuan and become the ruler of Qianhu.
Second, he had to find out where one of Glory Sect's Youming Elders, the elder who was recuperating in Qianhu, was in seclusion. He had to take his life while he was sick.
Li Mu didn't forget that there was another level-seven old man in Tianlang. If he waited until Glory Sect's elder finished recuperating, Li Mu would have to die here alone even if he had eight demon corpses.
Only by getting rid of one of them and interfering in Qianhu's affairs would he have some confidence.
That Glory Sect elder was seriously injured and wouldn't be able to recover in a short time. Even if Li Mu couldn't get rid of him, he had to make him even more injured and eliminate the threat of a level-seven expert.
However, he hadn't gained Bai Xuan's trust yet and definitely wouldn't have access to such core secrets.
Although he had become Bai Xuan's personal guard, Bai Xuan only let him guard the door.
He had to do something to gain Bai Xuan's trust first.
Li Mu planned in his heart as he stood at the palace gate and basked in the sun. A group of people walked in from afar.
After those people walked in, another White Xuan guard beside him said hatefully, "Those wolf cubs are here again!"
Li Mu asked, "What are they doing here?"
Fox Eighteen said, "Of course it's to take over their territory. I don't know what the Sage Sect is thinking. We're clearly on their side, but they'd rather support these immature wolf cubs!"
Hu Shiba had a deep grudge against the Celestial Wolf Clan. In fact, he wasn't the only one. Most of the demons in the Thousand Fox Nation didn't like them.
It wasn't just because the two clans used to be enemies. As one of the Four Great Demon Clans, the conflict between the Wolf Clan and the Fox Clan was the deepest. For hundreds and thousands of years, this kind of conflict had long been engraved in their bones.
Although the two races had become allies from enemies, the enmity engraved in their bones could not be resolved.
What's more, even if they were allies, the two races still had conflicts of interest.
Under the instructions of Glory Sect, the Fox race and Wolf race began to swallow up the other forces of the Demon Kingdom.
Both clans wanted to strengthen themselves. When fighting for territory, they naturally would not give in.
However, the super expert of the Fox Clan, Heaven Lord Wanhuan, was no longer around. After the internal strife in the Meizong Sect, their vitality was greatly damaged. Their overall strength was far inferior to the Wolf Clan. In the beginning, the territory that they snatched was quickly snatched back by the Wolf Clan.
Later, Bai Xuan protested to the Glory Sect Elder. After the Glory Sect Elder stepped in, the Wolf Clan calmed down a little.
Moreover, the Glory Sect Elder also ordered that the two clans were forbidden to engage in large-scale fights for disputed territories. They would be settled by the most traditional method of the Demon Clan.
The most traditional method of the Demon Clan to resolve disputes was the same as when Li Mu and Leopard Five fought over Fox Six.
The bigger fist was the law. Everything depended on strength. If the Wolf Clan and the Fox Clan had a dispute, each clan would send out a person to compete. The winner would have the only right to speak, and the loser could only blame themselves for not being as strong as the other.
In order to avoid too much damage, the strength of the competing demons was limited to the fifth realm and below.
This was obviously to take care of the Fox Clan. After a wave of internal strife, there weren't many experts left in the Fox Clan. If the restriction was lifted, the Wolf Clan would simply crush the Fox Clan.
Even with the addition of this restriction, the Thousand Fox Nation had never won even once.
As a result, many of the territories that the Fox Clan had set their eyes on had already fallen into the hands of the Sky Wolf Clan. The better territories were all swallowed up by the Sky Wolf Clan. The Fox Clan could only pick up the scraps and bully the Rabbit Clan and other small Demon Clans that the Wolf Clan looked down on.
After winning a large number of territories through multiple competitions, the Wolf Clan had taken a liking to this method. Sometimes, they would even deliberately provoke conflicts and then rightfully take over the territories that the Fox Clan had set their eyes on.
Thousand Fox Nation, in front of the palace.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Bam! Bam! Two figures exuded a primal, bestial aura as they fought in the square in front of the palace. They did not use any Dharma treasures or external objects. They fought purely with their demon bodies and demonic techniques.
The Fox Clan sent out Leopard Five, while the Wolf Clan sent out a Tiger Demon.
The Tiger Demon Clan belonged to the Demon Sect and was also one of the top forces in the Demon Nation. Ever since the Sky Wolf Clan joined the Demon Sect, they ruled over the Demon Sect. Naturally, the Tiger Demon Clan also became a subordinate of the Sky Wolf Clan.
Leopard Five was fast, but compared to the Tiger Demon, he was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength.
In the beginning, he could still use his unparalleled speed to gain a slight advantage. However, as his stamina gradually depleted, it was obvious that he was going to lose. In a moment of carelessness, he was hit in the chest by the Tiger Demon. Like a kite with a broken string, he spat out blood and flew out of the arena.
A Sixth Realm Wolf Demon looked at Bai Xuan and said with a smile, "Brother Bai, I'm so sorry. It seems that we have to take over Black Wind Mountain."
The Fox Clan had sent people to take over Black Wind Mountain first, but the Wolf Clan, who arrived later, took advantage of it. Here, the Fox Clan lost again and completely lost control of Black Wind Mountain.
Bai Xuan's face was gloomy and he was extremely unwilling to accept this.
However, he could not disobey the rules set by the Sage Sect Elder before he went into seclusion. Bai Xuan looked coldly at the Wolf Demon and asked loudly, "Who's willing to fight next?"
No one answered behind him.
The Fox Clan had lost too many times. Everyone knew that if they could save face for the Grand Elder and Meizong Sect, they would be rewarded handsomely.
However, the demons sent by the Tian Lang Dynasty to fight for territory with the Fox Clan were all powerhouses who were half a step into the fifth realm. They could break through at any time, but they forcefully kept their strength at the fourth realm. These demons were strong and ruthless. If their cultivation foundation was destroyed by them, perhaps they would have no hope of advancing in this lifetime. In the past few days, who knew how many people who were eager to gain merit entered the competition vertically or horizontally. There were even a few who were beaten until only their demon souls remained.
With such a precedent, who would dare to step forward?
In the square, Bai Xuan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Not only did they lose, but no one dared to fight. It was a complete disgrace to him.
After today, the Sirius Kingdom would probably think that there was no one left in the Fox Clan. They would go overboard in the fight for the Demon Kingdom.
Just as Bai Xuan was about to randomly choose someone to fight, a voice suddenly came from afar.
A thin figure strode over and said loudly, "Grand Elder, I'm willing to fight!"
Bai Xuan looked at the personal guard he had taken in a few days ago with admiration. He had not misjudged the demon. A true warrior dared to face an undefeatable enemy and had the determination to stand up even if he knew he was no match for them.
However, Bai Xuan still shook his head and said, "Seventh Eagle, stand down. You've just recovered from your injuries. There's no need to force yourself."
Li Mu did not move from his spot and said in a low voice, "Seventh Eagle, even if you lose today and die here, you must let them know that Meizong Sect and Grand Elder are not to be humiliated!"
"Alright!"
Light flashed in Bai Xuan's eyes. Ying Qi's words had reignited the fire that had been extinguished in his heart for a long time. He said loudly, "You can give it your all. I will protect you. If you die in battle today, I will kill your enemy and avenge you!"
The Sixth Realm Wolf Demon looked at Bai Xuan and said unhappily, "Brother Bai, are you going to break the rules of the competition?"
Bai Xuan snorted and said, "If Seventh Eagle dies, the territory will belong to you. The person who killed him will belong to me. You can protect him for one day, but you can't protect him forever."
The Heavenly Wolf King didn't say anything else. The Wolf Clan had taken advantage of the Fox Clan too much recently. If they pushed Bai Xuan too far, it wouldn't be their goal. He could only look at the Tiger Demon and say, "Be careful. Don't kill him."
The Tiger Demon nodded and said, "I understand."
The Wolf Demon King looked at Li Mu with respect. Although they were on different sides, such an enemy was worthy of their respect.
The Fox Demon Clan and Meizong Sect's people were breathing rapidly. Their blood was boiling.
Seventh Eagle was hopelessly lecherous, but he never backed down in the face of difficulties. He was a true man of Thousand Fox Country.
Two small demons were about to help the injured Leopard Five down. Leopard Five looked at the figure and gritted his teeth. "Wait!"
In the square in front of the palace, two figures stood facing each other, separated by a hundred feet.
Judging from the degree of demon Qi they emitted, the Tiger Demon was undoubtedly stronger. However, compared to Seventh Eagle, he lacked an indomitable aura.
The aura of the two demons reached a peak and exploded. Their figures disappeared at the same time.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The demons with lower cultivation could not see them. They could only hear the sounds of collisions in the air.
Fourth Realm demons could barely catch a glimpse of their silhouettes. Only cultivators above the Fifth Realm could clearly see the details of the battle between the two demons.
The Tiger Demon King's fist against the Eagle Demon King's claw.
Soon, many people revealed looks of disbelief.
On the battlefield, the Tiger Demon, who was stronger, was at a disadvantage.
Although they were both Fourth Realm demons, there was a slight difference in their strength. However, this was not the deciding factor of the battle.
The Tiger Demon defended and attacked. However, the Eagle Demon only attacked. One was overcautious while the other was indomitable. The Eagle Demon would rather take a hit from the Tiger Demon to attack the Tiger Demon's fatal spots. His eagle claws were extremely sharp as they scratched at the Demon Core in the Tiger Demon's abdomen.
One of the Eagle Demon's arms drooped weakly. It was clearly broken.
There were also a few dents on his body. They were all caused by the Tiger Demon's attacks.
However, the Tiger Demon's situation was not optimistic either. There were a few bone-deep wounds on his abdomen. As he attacked, his Demon Core could even be seen from the outside …
If he was scratched a few more times by the reckless Eagle Demon, his Demon Core would probably be dug out.
The Demon Core was the result of his decades of cultivation. If it was destroyed, his life's cultivation would be destroyed.
Seeing the sharp eagle claws coming at him again, the Tiger Demon was completely terrified. It was not worth the risk of destroying his life's cultivation for a small achievement.
He quickly retreated and said in horror, "I'm not competing anymore. I admit defeat!"
In the square, Li Mu limped out of the arena with a drooping arm. He looked at Bai Xuan and said, "First Elder, we won."
Then, he blacked out and fell to the ground …
