As a seventh realm cultivator, Ming Yi was in disbelief. This person was only Dongxuan, but he could hurt him. What kind of Dharma treasure was his spear?
At this moment, Ming San reminded him, "Be careful. This person's supernatural powers are strange. Even Xuanzong's Dao Chengzi was hurt by him. Don't be careless and treat him like a seventh realm cultivator!"
Li Mu held the spear in his hand. The weapon of a ninth realm Dragon King was indeed extraordinary. If he had used the Qingxuan Sword just now, he probably wouldn't have been able to break through the Demon Sect elder's defense.
After hitting the target, Li Mu formed another seal. The spear left his hand and pierced towards the elder.
With his sixth realm cultivation, he was extremely fast on his weapon. Countless spear shadows appeared in the void. However, as the spear shadows pierced towards the Demon Sect elder, his body also became illusory. Countless shadows appeared around him. Li Mu's attack couldn't touch him at all.
This person's cultivation was much higher than the Green Wolf King. Every time, he could predict Li Mu's attack and make preparations beforehand.
Li Mu couldn't do anything about this. After all, a Transcendent realm cultivator was on another level. This kind of supernatural power was almost always effective against cultivators with lower cultivation.
To cross the gap between the middle realm and the upper realm, one needed to catch the opponent off guard.
Just like the Intellectual Sword when he hurt Dao Chengzi and the first spear just now, Li Mu reached out. The spear flew back into his hand and he stabbed it in the air.
Ming Yi waved his sleeve. A black lotus platform flew out from his sleeve and smashed towards Li Mu.
Suddenly, the person in front of him changed. From Li Mu to Ming San.
Nightmare Three, who was watching the battle from the side, had just reacted when a black lotus throne came crashing down on him. He hurriedly put up a mana shield, but it only managed to stop the lotus throne for a moment before it shattered into pieces.
The lotus platform didn't slow down. It smashed into him. Ming San flew back a hundred feet and spat out blood. His aura instantly weakened.
Pei San suddenly appeared where that person was and took his attack. Pei Yi's eyes widened in an instant and then his pupils contracted.
Behind him, where Ming San had been, a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation suddenly came. He couldn't dodge in time and his waist was pierced by a spear. A blinding green light exploded from the spear, bringing with it a destructive force as it exploded inside his body.
Ming Yi's body turned into a cloud of black mist and instantly appeared a thousand feet away, condensing his body once again.
There was a ball of black gas wriggling around his abdomen. His aura was not as strong as before. He stared at Li Mu.
Li Mu didn't have it easy either. Earlier, he had expended a small portion of the mana in his body to forcefully perform Shadow Shift with one of the three elders of the Netherworld, catching them off guard and injuring them at the same time.
At this moment, Li Mu stood in the void with his spear. Two of the three elders of the Netherworld were weak, while the other's eyes were filled with disbelief.
The three of them had roamed the Zu Continent for so many years. When had they ever suffered such a great loss? And it was at the hands of a cultivator from Dongxuan. Where did he get such a treasure, and where did he learn such a strange ability?
The three of them looked at each other. The tacit understanding they had formed over a long time allowed them to connect their minds in an instant. At the same time, they shot out a ray of black light towards Li Mu.
The space was sealed. The three elders of the Netherworld blocked Li Mu's path of retreat from three different directions, leaving him no room to retreat. With his cultivation, facing three Transcendents head-on was no different from seeking death.
Just as Li Mu was about to summon the Dao Bell and prepare to resist for a while, the space in front of him rippled and a figure appeared.
The Empress must have just left the court. She was wearing a dragon robe and a phoenix crown. As she appeared, the three rays of black light were annihilated. The three elders of the Netherworld gathered together again with a shocked expression. Ming San even blurted out, "The Empress of the Great Zhou!"
Feeling the aura of the woman opposite him was stronger than before, Ming San wanted to retreat. However, he didn't want to let go of this rare opportunity. He shouted, "No matter how strong she is, she's only at the seventh level. Let's attack together!"
Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Ming Er's figure opposite him.
And at Ming Er's original position, there was a powerful aura that made his hair stand on end.
Recalling Li Mu's strange divine ability just now, Ming San's expression changed greatly. He wanted to retreat, but it was already too late. A tyrannical magic power swept across, and his body and Primordial Spirit were both severely injured.
Li Mu didn't miss this opportunity. He stabbed forward with his spear. Ming Er, who was teleported over by the Empress, was pierced through by the spear.
The strength of the Empress of the Great Zhou was beyond his imagination. Ming San didn't dare to stay any longer. He immediately said, "Let's go!"
A ball of black light burst out of the three's bodies at the same time. Then, they disappeared into thin air. When they reappeared, they were already gathered together. Their palms were connected. A black light flashed and they actually disappeared into thin air. Only a spatial fluctuation was left behind.
Li Mu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't let them escape!"
Zhou Yi appeared beside him. He closed his eyes and opened them again. He said, "It's a long-distance teleportation formation. They're no longer in Zuzhou. We can't catch up with them."
Although Li Mu felt it was a pity, capturing a seventh level alive was already an extremely difficult task. Moreover, there were three of them.
He didn't delay and immediately said, "I need to go to Xin Zong immediately!"
At the same time, on Tiantai Mountain.
In the concealment formation, a golden light suddenly flew out from one of the meditation rooms. It quickly flew towards Xin Zong's ancestral court. A few elders noticed this and couldn't help but wonder, "Junior Puzhi is in such a hurry. Where are you going?"
Just as the golden light was about to disappear into the horizon, a green light suddenly appeared.
The green light and the golden light collided and exploded with a violent wave of mana. Not long after, a figure flew over from afar. Li Mu carried Puzhi who was tied up by the Immortal Binding Rope and landed on a mountain peak of Xin Zong.
A few elders flew over. Elder Pu Xiang looked at Li Mu and then looked at Puzhi who was in his hands. He said in shock, "Ling Jizi, this is …"
Li Mu casually threw Puzhi on the ground and said, "Elder Pu Xiang, you should ask him properly."
After a while, the few elders of Xin Zong were all shocked and exclaimed.
"What?"
"Senior Puzhi is a spy from the Demon Sect?"
"How is this possible? Did Ling Jizi make a mistake somewhere?"
…
Li Mu said indifferently, "This is what the elders of the Demon Sect admitted personally. If you don't believe it, then there must be other traitors in Xin Zong. Otherwise, how could I be attacked by three Seventh Realm elders of the Demon Sect when I just left Xin Zong?"
One of the elders said in disbelief, "Three Seventh Realm elders of the Demon Sect can already fight Xin Zong. How did Ling Jizi escape from their hands?"
Li Mu looked at them and said, "If I didn't have some ability, how would I dare to carry the Heavenly Tomes of the various sects and walk around?"
Pu Xiang looked at Puzhi and asked in a low voice, "Puzhi, is what Ling Jizi said true?"
Puzhi raised his head and looked at Li Mu indifferently. He slowly said, "To be able to defeat the three elders, no wonder you dared to bring so many tomes with you. This poor monk has underestimated you. This poor monk has nothing to say."
After Puzhi finished speaking, the few elders of Xin Zong were shocked.
"Senior Puzhi, you really …"
"I don't believe it. Why did you do this?!"
"How can you face our brothers and sisters? How can you face Buddha?!"
…
Puzhi put his palms together and said in a low voice, "Since the mission has failed, you don't have to say anymore. I grew up in Xin Zong and return to Xin Zong. Amitabha …"
After chanting the name of Buddha, he lowered his head.
At the same time, the aura on his body disappeared completely.
Elder Pu Xiang looked sad. He put his palms together and said in a low voice, "Amitabha."
"Amitabha."
…
All the elders chanted the name of Buddha at the same time. Soon, the bell rang in the ancestral court of Xin Zong.
Li Mu didn't expect Puzhi to be so decisive and pass away just like that. He gave up his cultivation and life. Maybe sixty years of practicing Buddhism changed his temperament. Or maybe he expected the outcome of his identity being exposed and made him make such a decisive decision.
He wanted to get some information about the Demon Sect from Puzhi but now he could only give up.
When he left Xin Zong, Li Mu had a lot on his mind.
For thousands of years, the Demon Sect and the Righteous Sect had been opposing each other. The Six Taoist Sects, including the Fu-lu School, had all been attacked by the Demon Sect. Even Xuanzong was no exception.
Li Mu used to think that this was just a battle between the Righteous and the Evil Sect. Now it seemed that the Demon Sect's ultimate goal might be the Heavenly Book.
There were so many sects in the Zu Continent. They didn't pick on the small ones but went against the Six Taoist Sects. To a certain extent, it also confirmed Li Mu's guess.
There was no doubt that from now on, he would officially enter the Demon Sect's sight and become their number one target.
After all, compared to attacking a big sect, it was easier to capture a small sixth realm cultivator.
To a certain extent, the Demon Sect was also Li Mu's number one target.
The Demon Sect's method of prolonging life and the secret of longevity also deeply attracted him.
After leaving Tiantai Mountain, the space around him fluctuated and the Empress appeared.
Li Mu pondered for a moment and took out all the Heavenly Books. He said, "Your Majesty, you can keep these Heavenly Books."
Zhou Yi said lightly, "I don't need these things."
Li Mu explained, "The Demon Sect now knows that I have several pages of the Heavenly Book. They will probably send experts to find me in the future. You can keep the Heavenly Books. Even if I fall into the hands of the Demon Sect in the future, they won't get the Heavenly Books."
Zhou Yi said without thinking, "I don't want them."
Li Mu was stunned and asked, "Why?"
Zhou Yi glanced at him and said, "Since you know that if you fall into the hands of the Demon Sect, they will get the Heavenly Books. Then don't get caught by them. Think before you do anything."
Li Mu felt warmth in his heart and didn't insist. The two flew side by side and the back of their hands accidentally touched. Li Mu took the opportunity to hold her hand. Zhou Yi resisted a few times and let him hold her hand.
At the same time, above the South Sea.
The sea and the sky were connected and boundless. At a certain moment, a black whirlpool suddenly appeared above the sea. Three figures staggered out of the whirlpool.
The Three Elders of You and Ming were already injured. In order to escape from the Empress of the Great Zhou, they used the secret technique of the Demon Sect. They were teleported thousands of miles away and their magic power was almost exhausted. They floated in the void and panted heavily.
Ming Yi and Ming Er's bodies that were pierced by Li Mu's spear couldn't heal themselves. They could only use a cloud of black fog to temporarily seal their wounds.
Ming San said with lingering fear, "It hasn't been long and that woman has become stronger again …"
Ming Yi used one hand to cover his wound and said in a low voice, "With that woman interfering, I'm afraid Puzhi is doomed. Our fifty years of planning in the Heart Sect have gone down the drain …"
Ming Er said, "It's not like we didn't gain anything. Although Puzhi's position in the Heart Sect is high, we don't know how many decades it will take for him to control the Heavenly Books. Now we already know that the Heavenly Books of all the sects are with that person. As long as we capture him, we can get a few pages of the Heavenly Books at the same time."
Ming San shook his head and said, "You saw it too. It's easier said than done to capture him. It's impossible with just us. Why don't we report this to the Third Elder? With this person's importance, the Third Elder might take action personally …"
The three of them discussed and reached an agreement on this matter. They continued to fly south.
In the depths of the South Sea, there was an island shrouded in black fog.
The sky in the nearby sea region was clear and boundless. Only the sky above this island was covered in dark clouds. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the clouds. The entire island was shrouded in a thick black fog that emitted a strange aura.
The vegetation on the few small islands nearby had long withered. There was no sign of life. The bottom of the sea was dead silent. Regardless of whether it was the fish or the marine creatures in the sea, they didn't dare to get close to the island.
Three figures flew over from afar and flew straight into the black fog.
Within the black fog, there was an extremely dense spiritual energy. There were many buildings on the island and countless figures. Seeing the You and Ming Elders, the figures on the island all bowed and greeted them.
The three of them flew into a tall tower. In the small building at the top of the tower, there was a stone coffin.
The You and Ming Elders stood in front of the coffin and bowed, "Greetings to the Third Elder."
An old voice came from the coffin, "Who hurt you?"
It was difficult to say that they were hurt by a Dongxuan cultivator. Ming Yi said, "We met the Empress of the Great Zhou in the Zu Continent. But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that I found out that the Heavenly Tomes of the Five Daoist Sects and the Heart Sect of Buddhism are in the hands of one person."
Creak …
After an ear-piercing screech, the lid of the stone coffin opened. A skeleton-like figure sat up and asked, "You brought him here?"
The You and Ming Elders looked embarrassed. Ming Yi said, "This person's supernatural powers are strange. He also has a great treasure and the protection of the Empress of the Great Zhou. We couldn't catch him. If the Third Elder makes a move, we'll definitely be able to capture him. At that time, we'll at least get the six pages of the Heavenly Tomes …"
Two gloomy flames appeared in the eyes of the old man, who was so old that only his skin was left sticking to his bones. He said calmly, "As long as Tian Jizi is alive, I can't set foot on the Zu Continent. Who is this person you're talking about?"
Ming Yi formed a seal with his hands. An image appeared in the void before him.
In the image was the scene where the three of them intercepted Li Mu. The old man looked at the young man in the image with gloomy flames in his eyes. When he saw Ming Yi reach out to grab Li Mu, but his palm was pierced by the latter's spear, the gloomy flames in his eyes suddenly extinguished. He blurted out, "Ao Qing!"
