Li Mu had been thinking about Illusion Princess day and night. When he saw her again, he was so happy that he forgot that in order to not expose his identity, he threw the spiritual jade that contained Illusion Princess' essence blood into the lake in the Spirit Demon King's dimension.
Now that he brought Illusion Princess' essence soul in, wasn't he walking right into a trap?
Li Mu used the Clear Heart Art to calm his heart. His face didn't change at all as he asked Illusion Princess, "What is this?"
Illusion Princess looked at the spiritual jade in her hand and then looked at Li Mu's essence soul. She said, "I should be the one asking you this question. Why is this item in your hands?"
"What in my hands …" Li Mu glanced at her and said, "You clearly took it out from the lake yourself. Isn't it just a spiritual jade? If you like it, I'll give it to you. Let's not talk about this anymore. I brought you here because I have something more important to talk about."
Illusion Princess waved her hand and said, "Let's not rush other things. Tell me first, why is this spiritual jade in your hands?"
Li Mu thought about it and said, "I think I got it from the Jiujiang Second-Prince's Palace. I remember that I got a lot of Spiritual Jades. This piece of Spiritual Jade was flawed, so I threw it into the lake. Let's not talk about this Spiritual Jade anymore. I didn't take such a big risk to talk to you about this …"
Illusion Princess put away the spiritual jade and asked, "Did you also reach the sixth realm? When did you learn the art of disguise?"
Li Mu's lips moved, but he didn't know how to explain.
Illusion Princess was probably the smartest fox he had ever seen. All of her questions hit the nail on the head and went straight to Li Mu's weakness. She wanted Li Mu to understand that not all foxes were like Xiao Bai.
Li Mu looked at her speechlessly and asked, "Aren't you curious why I'm in Thousand Fox Country and why I brought you here?"
Phantom Princess lightly said, "The unification of the Fey Kingdom is the most disadvantageous to the Great Zhou. Therefore, you must have come here to prevent the unification of the Fey Kingdom. The Tian Lang Kingdom has sided with the Demon Dao. The Snake and Bear Tribes have never allied with humans. You want to obtain the support of the Fox Tribe to resist the Tian Lang Kingdom … Am I right?"
The topic had been cleverly changed by him. Li Mu crossed his arms and said, "Go on."
Huan Ji continued, "The Great Zhou cannot interfere with the Shifter Nation's affairs. Once you enter the Shifter Nation, the various Shifter Tribes will quickly join forces. Therefore, you can only divide the Shifter Tribes from within. The best way is to support the Fox Tribe, but the Fox Tribe is currently under Bai Xuan's control. Therefore, you want to help us regain control of the Thousand Fox Nation, thus slowing down the Sirius Tribe's unification of the Shifter Nation and ending the Great Zhou's siege …"
She turned to Li Mu and said, "I'm done. It's your turn."
Li Mu shrugged and said, "You're done. What else can I say?"
Huan Ji was silent for a while, then asked, "What do you plan to do? Including Bai Xuan, the Bai Family has two Sixth Realm Elders and three Seventh Realm Elders from the Demon Dao. Unless you can invite at least three Upper Realm Elders from the Great Zhou, it's impossible to succeed."
Li Mu shook his head and said, "There's only one Seventh Realm Elder from the Demon Dao here. Moreover, he was seriously injured when encircling your father. There's nothing to be afraid of. As long as I can find his location, I can make him even more injured and no longer be a threat."
Huan Ji continued, "The Wolf Tribe's Blue Demon Wolf King has already joined the Demon Sect. Once something happens to Bai Xuan, he won't sit idly by."
Li Mu said confidently, "I have my ways. As long as I don't let him join forces with the Sage Sect Elder who has recovered from his injuries, I can still handle one Blue Demon Wolf King."
Not to mention the eight Demonic Corpses. After setting up the formation, they could withstand a Seventh Realm Elder. Even if they couldn't withstand it, Li Mu could release the Law Bell and cover the entire Qianhu Nation. A mere Blue Demon Wolf King could only watch from the outside.
Of course, the premise was that he had to deal with the Sage Sect Elder first. At the very least, he had to make him completely lose the ability to fight. Facing two Seventh Realm Elders and without a Seventh Realm Elder controlling the Law Bell, Li Mu didn't know if the Law Bell could withstand it.
Huan Ji looked at him and finally asked, "If the Sage Sect continues to send Elders over, can you withstand it?"
Li Mu sneered and said, "Of course I can't withstand it. However, I don't know if the Great Zhou court and the Fu-lu School will be able to withstand it."
The Diabolism had already sent three Elders into the Yao Nation and severely injured the Heaven Lord of Illusions, breaking the balance of power in the Yao Nation.
The Heaven Lord of Illusions was from the Diabolism's Meizong Sect. To a certain extent, this was Meizong Sect cleaning up their ranks.
Cleaning up their ranks was one thing. Directly interfering in the internal affairs of the Yao Nation was another.
After severely injuring the Heaven Lord of Illusions, they didn't directly help the Tianlang Nation and Qianhu Nation unify the Yao Nation. They only left one Elder behind to act as a deterrent. The other two Elders returned to the Sage Sect.
Not to mention whether the Sage Sect could mobilize other Seventh Realm Elders, even if they could, the significance of them entering the Yao Nation again was different from the last time.
The Diabolism's cleaning up of their ranks was none of others' business. However, if the Diabolism dared to openly help the Tianlang Nation or attack the Qianhu Nation that had already left the Diabolism, directly interfering in the internal affairs of the Yao Nation, the Great Zhou court and the Fu-lu School would have a reason to act.
Whether it was the Diabolism, the Orthodox Sect, or the imperial court, none of them wanted to see such a thing happen.
This was the bottom line and tacit understanding that all the forces had always abided by.
Phantom Princess finally had no more questions. It was Li Mu's turn to ask, "I can help you take back the Qianhu Nation, help you fight against the Tianlang Nation and the Diabolism, and even help you unify the Yao Nation. However, you have to promise me that you will work with the Great Zhou court to promote equal relations between the human race and the Yao Nation. You won't do anything that will endanger the Great Zhou …"
Phantom Princess looked into his eyes and said, "If you didn't trust me, you wouldn't have come here."
She was indeed an extremely intelligent fox. Li Mu didn't beat around the bush with her. He said, "I need you, and you need me. This is a win-win deal. Do you want to take it or not?"
Phantom Princess reached out her hand to Li Mu. A smile appeared on Li Mu's face. He also reached out his hand and bumped it with hers.
Smack!
A crisp sound echoed above the lake.
After a while, Phantom Princess stood by the lake and looked at the brand new Demon Emperor Space. She asked Li Mu, "Why don't you look for Huan Yun? He's stronger than me. He's more qualified to be the ruler of the Qianhu Nation."
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Why should I look for him? I'm not familiar with him."
On the surface, Huan Yun was the son of the former Meizong Sect's Grand Elder, Lord of Heaven Illusion. He was also a Sixth Realm expert. No matter how one looked at it, he was the most ideal partner for the imperial court.
However, as Li Mu said, no matter how suitable Huan Yun was, he didn't know Phantom Princess as well as he did. To him, trust was more important than strength.
Then, he realized the image he had set in front of Phantom Princess. He looked her up and down and said, "Besides, I helped you this time. Isn't that a great favor to you? Do you want to consider giving yourself to me?"
"Okay." Phantom Princess said without hesitation, "After I kill Bai Xuan and become the ruler of the Qianhu Nation, you can stay and be my Empress."
Li Mu was stunned for a moment. He coughed and said, "You want to keep me in the small Qianhu Nation? You should stay by my side."
Phantom Princess seemed to think of something and said, "That's true. Compared to the Empress of the Great Zhou, the Qianhu Nation is indeed small …"
Li Mu said angrily, "Watch your words. There's nothing between His Majesty and me. How can you insult …"
In order to avoid being discovered, Li Mu couldn't stay in the Demon Emperor Space for long. After he and Phantom Princess had a simple conversation, his Primordial Spirit returned to his body. He stuck a Soundproof Talisman under the table so that he could communicate with Phantom Princess directly.
In the palace, Phantom Princess sat by the table and played with the spiritual jade in her hand. She seemed to be thinking about something.
Li Mu stood to the side and thought about how to find the elder of the Sage Sect. If he suddenly mentioned this, it would arouse Bai Xuan's suspicion. However, if he delayed and waited until Bai Xuan's injuries were almost healed, things might not develop as planned …
While Li Mu was completely focused on this matter, Phantom Princess, who was sitting at the table, suddenly said, "Little Snake, help me massage my shoulders."
Li Mu habitually walked behind her and put his hands on her shoulders. After a few gentle massages, his hands suddenly became stiff.
Phantom Princess stood up and looked at his face. She sneered and said, "Should I call you Little Snake or Li Mu?"
