Ghost King Palace, Central Hall.
Li Mu had planned to leave, but they forced him to stay.
Although he didn't want to expose his identity, he had already fought. If he left right after the fight, wouldn't he have wasted his transcendence energy for nothing?
He sat at the very front of the hall, on an extremely luxurious chair made from a single piece of supreme-grade spiritual jade and carved with dragons and phoenixes. Below him were the servants of the Ghost King Palace, including three Sixth Realm Consecrators.
Shangguan Li stood beside Li Mu. Li Mu looked up at her and asked, "Ah Li, do you want to sit too?"
Li Mu wasn't the Empress after all. He felt uncomfortable sitting here with his friend beside him.
Shangguan Li glanced at Li Mu and shook her head, "No need. I'm used to standing."
Li Mu grabbed her wrist and shifted his butt to the side, saying, "You're used to standing, but I'm not. Anyway, this chair is big enough for two people."
Shangguan Li was forced to sit down by Li Mu, but she didn't say anything.
However, after witnessing that scene with her own eyes, a complicated feeling spread through her heart.
Experts of the same cultivation level as her couldn't even block a single blow from him. She didn't know when it started, but Li Mu's cultivation level had already caught up to hers. And now, she couldn't even see his back.
Li Mu didn't feel anything. His previous opponents were all Seventh Realm experts like Elder Xuanzong and the Elder of the Demon Sect. The Dongxuan he met was also a ten-thousand-year-old monster like Patriarch Blood River. He rarely fought with cultivators of the same cultivation level.
Due to his lack of experience, he didn't know how to hold back. So when he fought just now, he held back. If he was careless, at least one of the three Sixth Realm Consecrators would die.
Under Li Mu's gaze, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.
Li Mu looked at them and said indifferently, "Devil King kidnapped my friend and forced her to marry his son. Since Devil King isn't here today, I didn't want to bully the weak and planned to settle the score with him when he returned to Fengdu. However, all of you refused to let me off and forced me to make a move …"
If the ghost cultivators standing in the hall had intestines, they would definitely be green now.
The people of the Ghost King Palace would get married every few days. Some of them were willing, while others were forced. However, in their eyes, it was not a bad thing even if they were forced to join the Ghost King Palace. Even if the Little Rakshasa liked the new and hated the old every few days, they were still part of the Ghost King Palace. Be it cultivation resources or servants, they did not lack anything. Their lives were much better than before.
They were just unlucky this time. The person that Lord Ghost King kidnapped actually had such a powerful backer.
Originally, this senior was a man of martial ethics and did not intend to vent his anger on them. However, they had to provoke him. Blood Blade Venerable Master and the ghost cultivator who was severely injured and almost had his soul dissipated were extremely regretful.
"It's all this junior's fault for being blind. Please forgive me, senior!"
"This junior has eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. Senior, please forgive me!"
Li Mu looked at them and said indifferently, "Did you think that I would forgive your offense just because of your words?"
"Please forgive us, senior!"
"Please forgive us, senior!"
…
As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, everyone in the hall immediately knelt down. Li Mu waited for a while and gave the three Sixth Realm powerhouses enough psychological pressure before he said slowly, "The heavens are virtuous. I'm not a murderous person. Otherwise, the three of you would be dead by now."
The three immediately bowed. "Thank you, senior, for not killing us!"
Li Mu said coldly, "Don't be happy too early. Originally, I had no karma with you, but since you provoked me, you have already planted the seeds of evil. Serve under me for ten years and remove the karma, and I will let you go. Otherwise, I will use an even simpler method to remove the karma."
The three of them naturally understood what a "simpler method" meant.
When a person died, karma would dissipate. There was no simpler way to remove karma than to silence them.
These Transcendent Old Monsters had all seen through some of the principles of heaven and earth, and they placed great importance on karma.
They were guests under the Devil King. Betraying the Devil King would definitely infuriate him, and there would be trouble in the future. However, if they did not agree to this, they would be in big trouble now.
While the three of them were hesitating, Li Mu said leisurely, "I have never liked to force others. If you are unwilling to serve under me, I will not force you."
The three of them trembled at the same time. This was a blatant threat.
"Yes, yes!"
"We are willing!"
"We are willing too!"
…
Soon, a drop of Soul Blood and two Soul Essences floated in front of Li Mu. He took them. Seeing the worry in the depths of the three's expressions, he knew what they were afraid of. He said, "Don't worry, Rakshasa King won't have the chance to trouble you. He has already formed a karma with me. Sooner or later, I will settle this with him …"
Li Mu did not intend to subdue the three of them, but now that things had come to this, and he had formed an irreconcilable feud with the Devil King, it would be a waste not to poach them.
After all, he was no longer a small disciple of F Lu School.
As the future School Master, he shouldered the heavy responsibility of the school's rise.
Xuanzong was extremely powerful. If F Lu School wanted to catch up with Xuanzong and avenge Xiao Bai's family, they still had a long way to go. He would not let go of any opportunity to strengthen the school.
Although the Sixth Realm was not enough in his eyes, they were still top-notch powerhouses on the continent and were targets that all major forces wanted to recruit.
Since they were already on his side, Li Mu was not stingy. He casually threw two pills to the middle-aged man and the severely injured ghost cultivator and said, "Take these and heal your injuries."
"Thank you, Senior!"
The two of them took the pills and knew that they were not ordinary pills just by smelling them. They immediately clasped their fists and thanked him.
They had just become someone's slaves, so they were a little conflicted at first. But now, their thoughts were slowly changing.
It did not matter who they became. Compared to the Devil King, this senior was more powerful and had the demeanor of a powerhouse. He was also so generous to his subordinates. It might not be a bad thing to work for him.
In the cultivation world, strength was respected. It would not be easy for the Devil King to severely injure them. Following such a powerhouse was not a humiliation. Perhaps they could even obtain greater opportunities.
Then, Li Mu let the two injured people heal their injuries. The other person comforted the Devil King's subordinates and the ghosts of Fengdu.
He originally only wanted to rob the Devil King's treasure house, but he was forced to take over his Fengdu.
Just take it as punishment for bullying Ah Li.
Li Mu turned to look at her and asked, "Are you not angry anymore?"
Shangguan Li lowered her head and said, "Thank you."
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "We're all family. What's there to thank me for?"
Shangguan Li blushed and said, "Who's family with you?"
Li Mu explained, "His Majesty and I are family. His Majesty treats you as his younger sister, so you can be considered my sister-in-law. As the saying goes, sister-in-law's … In short, we're family. If anyone dares to bully you, I'll be the first to punish them."
Shangguan Li was not convinced and said, "Who's your younger sister? I'm three years older than you."
Just as she finished speaking, more than ten figures rushed in from outside.
"I was blind and offended you, Senior …"
"Please have mercy on us, Senior. Please spare us!"
"I'm willing to be your slave and serve you for the rest of my life …"
… …
Little Rakshasa's wives and concubines all knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy. It was as if there were thousands of ducks in the hall.
Li Mu had a headache from the noise. He waved his hand and said, "I don't want to do anything to you. Disperse."
More than half of these female ghosts were snatched by Little Rakshasa. Li Mu had no enmity with them, so he didn't want to punish them. He just wanted them to leave quickly and stop bothering him.
"Thank you, Senior, for your mercy!"
Several female ghosts immediately ran out of the hall after Li Mu spoke, but a few stayed behind. The coquettish female ghost in the lead boldly walked behind Li Mu and massaged his shoulders while saying, "Senior, I'll massage your shoulders …"
The other two slightly more beautiful ones knelt on his left and right, one on his right. They put their hands on his legs and said, "Senior, we'll massage your legs …"
"Uh-huh!"
Shangguan Li's expression was cold as she made a heavy sound.
Li Mu's mind moved, and the three female ghosts were immediately teleported out. He looked at Shangguan Li beside him and said seriously, "Ah Li, as you can see, I'm a good person who doesn't do anything wrong. When you go back, you can't talk nonsense in front of Her Majesty …"
Shangguan Li snorted and said, "That'll depend on your performance in the future."
Outside the hall, several female ghosts appeared in a flash.
They were all shocked. This senior's strength was indeed unfathomable to teleport them away without a sound.
The Fifth Realm female ghost looked regretful and muttered, "This senior is much more powerful than Little Rakshasa. It's a pity that he doesn't get close to women …"
