Thousand Fox country.
Imperial palace.
Bai Xuan walked over and asked, "Where is she?"
Li Mu and Hu Da were standing at the entrance of a palace. Hu Da pointed at the palace behind them and said, "Inside."
Bai Xuan pushed open the door and entered. What welcomed him were two cold lights.
He calmly reached out and grabbed Huan Ji's two short swords. He shook his head and said, "Junior sister, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Is this how you treat your senior brother?"
"Bah!" Huan Ji spat and said coldly, "I don't have a senior brother like you!"
Bai Xuan used a bit of strength and took the two short swords from Huan Ji.
Huan Ji looked at him and said in shock, "You're already at the sixth level!"
Bai Xuan smiled and said, "I've said it before. If you follow the sage sect, you'll get endless benefits."
He walked into the room and sat on a chair. He said, "You can't blame me for master's current situation. You've disobeyed the orders of the sage sect many times. The sage sect has long wanted to kill master. Even without me, the sage sect would still get rid of him."
Huan Ji looked at him coldly and said, "You don't need to find excuses for yourself."
Bai Xuan sighed and said, "I've already warned you not to go against the sage sect. If you follow them, you'll get endless benefits. If you disobey them, you won't have a good ending. Unfortunately, you've never listened to me …"
Huan Ji said coldly, "This is why you betrayed your master?"
Bai Xuan sighed and said, "This was the decision of the sage sect elders. I had no other choice. If I didn't cooperate with them, they would've gotten rid of me as well."
He looked at Huan Ji and said without hesitation, "Junior sister, the reason why the Huan family is like this is all because of you. It's your kindness that harmed master, harmed senior brother, and harmed yourself. You're a monster, but you're kind to humans. You even disobeyed the sage sect's orders. It's all because of you."
Huan Ji stood in the room dejectedly. She didn't have any hope in her heart.
At this point, she couldn't take back Thousand Fox country and avenge her father. Killing Bai Xuan before she died was her only wish.
But now, this wish was mercilessly shattered.
Bai Xuan looked at her and said: "Junior Sister, you know that I had no choice. If you can forget the past, I will treat you well. I'm even willing to make you the queen of Thousand Fox as long as you say the word …"
Huan Ji glared at Bai Xuan and said word by word, "Don't even think about it!"
Bai Xuan didn't force her. He just stood up and walked to the door. "I'll give you three days to think about it. After three days, I'll kill a prisoner in the dungeon every day. The first one will be Hu Jiu, the second one will be Huan Yun, and the third one will be Hu Liu …"
Huan Ji bit her lips, her nails digging into her flesh.
Bai Xuan pushed the door open. Li Mu looked at him and whispered, "First Elder, you promised that you would leave Hu Liu to me …"
Bai Xuan patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry. You have done a great service to Meizong. When the Sage Sect Elder comes out, I will ask him to help you raise your cultivation level."
Li Mu cupped his fists excitedly and said: "Thank you, First Elder!"
Bai Xuan looked behind him and said: "You don't have to do any other tasks these days. Watch her carefully. If she has any requests, try to satisfy her. If she does anything strange, report to me immediately."
Li Mu said with a solemn expression, "Yes, sir!"
When Huan Ji was locked up in a palace, Hu Jiu was also taken to the dungeon.
Here, he saw many Elders who were loyal to the Lord of Heaven. They were locked up in cells and tortured. They looked withered and weak, and their hearts were filled with sorrow.
Until he saw Hu Liu in the next cell.
The other Elders were chained up with iron chains. Their clothes were ragged, and there were many traces of torture on their bodies. Hu Liu was clean and didn't look like he had suffered at all. He was even a little fatter than last time.
Hu Liu saw Hu Jiu and said in surprise: "You're finally here. Is Lord Huan Ji here too?"
Hu Jiu looked at him blankly and murmured: "Lord Huan Ji and I are in Bai Xuan's hands. Are you happy?"
Hu Liu couldn't hide the joy on his face. He ordered the two small demons guarding the door of his cell: "You two, go out and buy me five roasted chickens, ten spicy rabbit heads, and two jars of sweet wine. Hurry up …"
The two small demons left happily. The woman in the dungeon was Commander Eagle's woman. They didn't dare to neglect her.
As the God of War of Thousand Fox Country, the new Elder of Meizong Sect, and the favorite of the First Elder, Commander Eagle was in the limelight recently. Everyone who saw him would want to curry favor with him.
Hu Jiu looked in the direction where the two small demons disappeared. Then, she looked at Hu Liu and said in disbelief: "What's going on?"
Hu Liu knew that Hu Jiu couldn't keep secrets, so she didn't want to tell him at all.
He looked at Hu Jiu and asked directly: "Where is Lord Huan Ji?"
Hu Jiu lowered her head and said: "I was wrong. The damn Mountain Cat Clan betrayed us. I shouldn't have saved them!"
Hu Liu finally confirmed the news and was overjoyed: "That's great!"
Hu Jiu raised his head and looked at her. He seemed to realize something, and his face gradually showed extreme disappointment.
He stared at Fox Six and said in a trembling voice, "I know. You betrayed us and surrendered to Bai Xuan. That's why they treat you so well. Sister Six, you've disappointed me. I've misjudged you again. I've misjudged you every time. What's the use of my eyes!"
Hu Liu looked at him speechlessly and said: "You don't have eyes anymore."
Hu Jiu leaned against the wall of the cell. His soul dimmed a little. When he was seriously injured and his life was hanging by a thread, he didn't feel so desperate. He slowly closed his eyes and said sorrowfully: "Little snake, I'm going to go down to accompany you soon …"
Hu Liu ignored him. When the two small demons came back, she handed him a roasted chicken and a rabbit head and asked: "Do you want to eat the roasted chicken and rabbit head?"
Hu Jiu's eyes suddenly opened. He gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, why not!"
He walked over and took the roasted chicken and rabbit head, saying: "Even if I die, I'll eat until I'm full. Also, give me a jar of wine!"
In the dungeon.
In the palace where Phantom Princess was, Hu Da looked at her and tried to persuade her: "Lord Phantom Princess, the First Elder is sincere to you. He hasn't crowned a queen yet because he's waiting for you. Why are you so stubborn?"
Phantom Princess didn't even look at him and said coldly: "Get out!"
Hu Da took a deep breath and didn't say anything else. He looked at Li Mu and said: "I'll leave this to you."
Li Mu nodded and said: "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on her."
Hu Da turned and left. After taking two steps, he turned back and said to Li Mu: "A Ying, I know you're a pervert, but she's the First Elder's woman. Control yourself and don't be too presumptuous."
Li Mu said unhappily: "Am I such a Ying? Although I'm a pervert, I have a bottom line. Even the First Elder trusts me, but you don't trust me …"
Hu Da let out a breath and said: "I'm relieved that you know."
This time, he left with a peace of mind and closed the door of the hall.
Elder Phantom Princess wasn't a normal fifth realm cultivator. Even if her cultivation was less than 10%, she still couldn't be underestimated. There had to be someone watching her 24 hours a day.
In terms of endurance and focus, no one was more suitable than Ying Qi.
After Hu Da left, only Li Mu and Phantom Princess were left in the room.
Li Mu walked to the door and confirmed that Hu Da was far away. There were only two lesser beasts guarding outside. He then walked to Phantom Princess's side.
Before he could speak, Phantom Princess said coldly: "If you want to persuade me to become Bai Xuan's queen, then shut up and don't waste your breath."
Li Mu shook his head and said: "What I want to tell you is that if you rely on others, you can only become the queen. If you rely on yourself, you can only become the queen …"
Bai Xuan's subordinates definitely wouldn't talk to her like this. Phantom Princess's expression froze and then she suddenly stood up. She looked at Li Mu and asked: "Who are you?"
Although he had already taken out a magic artefact to hide the secrets of the heavens and no one could see this place, Li Mu still couldn't be honest with her here just to be safe.
Li Mu didn't say much and continued: "This isn't a place to talk. Sit down and send your primordial spirit out. I'll take you to a place."
Phantom Princess only hesitated for a moment before following Li Mu's words and sat down.
In such a desperate situation, any choice she made could not possibly be worse than the current situation.
Then, her primordial spirit left her body.
An illusory figure also floated out of Li Mu's body.
Then, the two primordial spirits disappeared.
The two little demons outside the hall seemed to have heard some movement inside. They turned around to take a look and vaguely saw two figures. Then, they relaxed and continued to slack off.
Inside the hall, Li Mu and Phantom Princess were like statues, one standing and one sitting.
In the Beast Emperor Space, two illusory figures appeared at the same time.
Phantom Princess turned around and looked at the person beside her. She could no longer remain calm and said in shock: "It's you!"
Her voice was filled with shock. After the shock, it was joy.
Even she didn't know why, but the moment she saw this face, her heart immediately calmed down as if she had found someone to rely on.
Li Mu smiled and asked: "Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"
Phantom Princess floated in the air in a daze.
What Li Mu gave her was more than just surprise and joy.
This was simply coming back from the jaws of death. When she was lost in the endless desert and was about to die of thirst, she met an oasis. When she sank into the endless darkness, a ray of hope appeared in her eyes …
Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she suddenly looked down.
On the lake below, there were ripples.
Phantom Princess waved her hand at the lake and something flew out from the bottom of the lake. She held it in her hand.
This was a spiritual jade. In the middle of the spiritual jade, there was a mark similar to a drop of blood.
Li Mu looked at the spiritual jade in Phantom Princess' hand that contained a drop of her essence blood. He was completely stunned.
At this moment, he and Phantom Princess experienced what a surprise was …
