Celestial Wolf Kingdom.
At the highest peak, within a cave dwelling, there was a tall and sturdy man with a faint 'King' character on his forehead sitting cross-legged in a corner. Around him, countless monster souls twined around him.
These Daemon Souls were of different races. There were deer souls, monkey souls, tiger souls, and so on. All of the Daemon Souls were in pain. They wanted to break free, but it was futile. Every time the man breathed, a Daemon Soul would be sucked into his body. Every time he refined a Daemon Soul, his aura would vaguely become stronger.
At a certain moment, the space in the quiet cave rippled and a figure fell out.
The Blue Wolf King's hair was disheveled. He had lost an arm and was covered in blood. His aura was much weaker as well. The shock still lingered on his face.
The man suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the Blue Wolf King in shock. "How did you get injured like this? Did you run into those two old guys?"
The Blue Wolf King's face was filled with bad luck. He told him what had happened today.
As a level-seven ancestor, there weren't many people in the Yao Kingdom who were qualified to be his opponent. He had run into two today.
He didn't know what the cultivation of the strong cultivator in the city was like. His abilities were too strange. He could actually use the power of the world to directly injure his body and soul, making him lose two years of cultivation for nothing. The female human cultivator he ran into later was even more terrifying. He almost died at her hands. He only barely managed to escape by using Blood Escape.
Only now did he have time to grow a new arm. Although he could regrow an arm, it couldn't be compared to the original one. He didn't know how long it would take for him to cultivate it back.
After a moment of thought, the man said, "The first person to injure you should be a peak level-six Legalism cultivator."
"Impossible," the Blue Wolf King said firmly. "How can he injure me without level-seven cultivation?"
The elder glanced at him and said, "Even during the Esoteric Debate, Legalism cultivators were among the top. If it really was a level-seven Legalism cultivator, you wouldn't be able to see me today. He should be the one who founded that small Yao Kingdom. Legend has it that there's an important step for Legalism to reach level-seven, which is to establish a kingdom with laws. It seems that the legend is true …"
He couldn't compare to the Sage Sect's elder in terms of knowledge. The Green Wolf King didn't suspect anything. "When we recover, we'll go and meet that so-called Legalism expert …"
A trace of fear appeared in the elder's eyes as he said, "It's best not to provoke this person. The school of Legalism is not to be trifled with. Right now, the most important thing is Qianhu Country. It's best not to complicate things."
Fear appeared on the Green Wolf King's face again at the mention of the Thousand Fox Nation. "Who was that female cultivator? Why did she go to the Thousand Fox Nation? I have a feeling that if she wasn't in a hurry to go there and wasn't serious, I would've died at her hands …"
The Elder of the Sage Sect pondered and said, "As far as I know, there are only two known female cultivators in Zuzhou who have such strength. One is the Empress of the Great Zhou, and the other is the leader of the Danding Sect. The Empress of the Great Zhou won't leave Luoyang. The leader of the Danding Sect may have come here to look for elixirs. Do you have a portrait of her?"
The Green Wolf King shook his head. "She's much stronger than me. I can't use the Mystic Light Technique to create a portrait of her. Her appearance may not be her original appearance either."
He looked confused and asked, "Why would such a strong cultivator go to Qianhu Country?"
The Elder of the Sage Sect knew what he was worried about. "Don't worry. No matter who she is, she won't stay in Qianhu Country for long. She won't affect our plan. I'm worried about the eight corpses …"
The Blue Wolf King said, "What's so scary about those eight corpses? Even if all eight of them work together, they can only stop one of us temporarily. Myriad Illusions won't recover his strength that quickly. As long as we break that bell, either of us will be able to suppress Thousand Fox Nation."
The Elder of the Sage Sect said in a deep voice, "You're too naive. Do you know what eight level-six corpses mean?"
"What do they mean?" the Green Wolf King asked.
The Elder of the Sage Sect Taoist priest said, "Even the Fu-lu School of the Six Taoist Sects only has seven level-six first seats. After Myriad Illusion died, the Corpse Sect didn't even have a level-six cultivator. The fact that they can produce eight level-six corpses means that there's a very powerful organization behind Qianhu Country. If they can produce eight level-six cultivators, could there be a level-seven cultivator behind them? What's more, when did such a powerful force appear on the continent that we've never heard of before? And it's obvious that they're our enemy, not our friend …"
The Green Wolf King's expression turned serious as he pondered the Elder of the Sage Sect's words.
This was still a mystery for the time being. He released dozens of demon souls and said, "Let's heal ourselves first. We'll know if there's such a force behind Qianhu Country when the time comes …"
…
Qianhu Country.
The mysterious disappearance of many demons made the demons panic. However, a few powerful demons still benefited from it. Qianhu Country gained dozens of subordinate demon tribes, and the number of demons under their rule increased by nearly 30%.
Li Mu's preliminary judgment was that this series of events should be the work of a level-seven cultivator.
There was no other reason. If their cultivation was only at the level-six, they wouldn't be able to handle so many things without leaving any clues behind. When he thought of the fact that the demon sect elder's primordial spirit was severely injured and could absorb a large number of demon souls to speed up his recovery, the mastermind behind this series of events was on the verge of being revealed.
If a level-seven cultivator wanted to take souls, there was no way to stop them. The only thing they could do was to protect more small and medium-sized demon tribes as much as possible.
In the past two days, Li Mu found something rather strange.
The Empress hadn't checked on him for two days in a row. It didn't seem very likely that she was angry because he had become the state preceptor of Qianhu Country. Li Mu had asked her in advance, and she had expressed her understanding.
Li Mu was about to take the initiative to ask when Hu Jiu suddenly walked in and said that someone from the Great Zhou court had come.
Li Mu walked out in confusion. The Empress didn't tell him that the court had sent someone to Qianhu Country. When he walked outside and saw Mr. Mei standing beside his statue in front of the palace, he was stunned for a moment. Then he asked in surprise, "Sister Mei, why are you here?"
It was undoubtedly a big surprise to be able to see relatives and old friends in the Divine Capital in the distant demon nation.
Mr. Mei glanced at him and said, "The court wants to establish an alliance with Qianhu Country and never attack each other. Her Majesty sent me to discuss with Qianhu Country."
Li Mu took the initiative to say, "Don't worry. Leave it to me."
Mr. Mei looked at the tall statue and said, "It seems that fox treats you well. She even built a statue for you."
Hu Jiu heard the Great Zhou female official call the Empress and said unhappily, "I don't know what status you have in Great Zhou, but this is Qianhu Country. You'd better show some respect to Her Majesty."
Mr. Mei glanced at Hu Jiu indifferently.
"Thump!"
Hu Jiu's condensed body felt weak in the legs and fell to the ground.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He didn't know why, but the Great Zhou female official's gaze was so terrifying that he felt fear from the bottom of his heart. Even his legs felt weak. Hu Jiu was ashamed and angry, but she didn't dare to reprimand the Great Zhou female official anymore. She got up from the ground and said to Li Mu awkwardly, "I have something else to do. You take care of the people of Great Zhou yourself …"
Li Mu took Mr. Mei to the palace where he was temporarily living. Mr. Mei looked around and asked, "Are you living in that fox's harem?"
Li Mu said, "Don't get me wrong. I picked a place randomly."
Four graceful figures walked out and bowed to Li Mu. They said obediently, "Sir, you're back …"
Mr. Mei looked at the quadruplet rabbit demon sisters, then looked at Li Mu and asked, "You picked them randomly too?"
Li Mu glanced at her and said, "Why are you like Her Majesty? Why do you care so much? Come in first …"
Li Mu dared to admit that he was a lecher in front of the Empress, so of course, he wasn't afraid of Mr. Mei. These four rabbit demons were actually maids that he had prepared for Liu Hanyan and Li Qing, but he didn't even bother to explain to Mr. Mei. He just let her think whatever she wanted …
Mr. Mei glanced at the four rabbit demons and didn't ask any more questions. He sat on the main seat that should have been Li Mu's and said, "I heard that you're going to be the Empress of the Thousand Fox Country?"
Li Mu raised his head and said in surprise, "Who did you hear that from? Although she does have this intention, am I that kind of person? How can a man be someone's Empress?"
Mr. Mei said lightly, "That's what people outside say."
Li Mu twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Can you believe those words? Some people even said that I'm going to be the Empress of the Great Zhou. Why don't you ask Her Majesty if she has this intention?"
