The matters of the world were often so wondrous.
Li Mu never thought that he would be able to meet Lin Wan and Xiao Yu again in the Ghost Domain. Moreover, they had become sisters due to the pressure from the Hall of Souls.
With their fifth realm cultivation, forcefully barging into the Fallen Gods Land was basically a death sentence. However, in order to repay Su He's kindness, Lin Wan still came without hesitation. This moved Li Mu slightly.
Xiao Yu attached herself to Li Mu. She said with surprise and joy, "I never thought that benefactor would also be big sister Lin's benefactor. Is this fate?"
Li Mu said to Lin Wan, "Thank you for telling me about her."
Lin Wan's worried expression did not disappear. She said, "Benefactor and big sister Su have given me a new life. Even if I die for her, it's nothing."
Shangguan Li, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly opened her mouth and asked Li Mu, "Who is this big sister Su you're talking about?"
Li Mu did not know how to answer this question.
If they were friends, they had experienced life and death together countless times. The word 'friend' could not be used to describe them.
However, if they were to go one step further, neither of them had taken the initiative to take that step. However, they had already given their first kiss to each other …
Li Mu thought about it and said, "Friends who have gone through life and death together."
Shangguan Li did not ask any more questions. Li Mu walked towards the Heavenly Tomes in the depths of the Fallen Gods Land as he asked Lin Wan and Xiao Yu about their experiences in the past few years.
Back then, after Lin Wan had left Sunhill county and arrived at the Ghost Domain, she accidentally entered an unknown place because she was not familiar with this place. She was sucked into a spatial crack, but her soul did not disperse.
She appeared in a small independent space. There was a mountain range formed from the corpse of a huge dragon and a lake of dense Yin Qi. She cultivated there day and night. Her cultivation rose rapidly, and she broke through all the realms before long. Only after becoming a Specter did she gain the ability to leave that space.
According to her description, Li Mu guessed that she should have entered the Heavenly Flask Cave of the ancient cultivators.
Coincidentally, before that ancient cultivator died, he engaged in a great battle with a giant beast in the cavern space. The most likely outcome was that both sides perished together. Because the giant beast died in the cavern space, the wandering souls of the Ghost Realm were unable to enter. That was why Lin Wan was able to take advantage of the situation ten thousand years later.
This could be considered her fortuitous encounter. On the path of cultivation, talent and hard work were not as important as fortuitous encounters.
And after Xiao Yu entered the Ghost Realm, because of her own strength, no one dared to provoke her. It was only until Li Mu heavily wounded the Demonic Dao, and killed the Nether Saint with the Empress, and then killed several Ghost Kings under his command, that the Soul Hall's strength was reduced to less than a tenth. They began to vigorously recruit subordinates in the Ghost Realm, and only then did they set their sights on her.
At the same time, Lin Wan was also a target that the Soul Hall wanted to recruit. The two women didn't want to work for the Demonic Dao, so they joined forces to resist the Demonic Dao that was led by Qinguang Wang. Although their cultivations weren't at the sixth realm, Xiao Yu's supernatural powers restrained soul bodies. With the two women joining forces, the Soul Hall that was already greatly weakened couldn't do anything to them.
As the group advanced, they had to be careful of spatial cracks at all times. They had to avoid waves of wandering souls, so their speed wasn't fast.
During this time, they also bumped into other factions of the Ghost Realm. There was no lack of factions that were fighting each other. Here, the various factions had to be on guard against the dangers that came from the Land of the Fallen Gods, but they also had to be careful of other factions.
Some of the ghost cultivators had seen Li Mu at the entrance. When they saw him, they stayed far away from him. There were also some forces that Li Mu had never seen before. When they saw that Li Mu was outnumbered, they foolishly approached him. Of course, the result was very miserable.
At a certain moment, Li Mu brought them closer to the Heavenly Book in the depths of the Land of the Fallen Gods. Suddenly, from the fog in front of them, a soul shadow ran out.
Behind that soul shadow, there was a powerful aura chasing after it.
Closely chasing after it was a wandering soul with the power of the seventh realm. The middle-aged ghost cultivator who was being chased was not weak. Although the aura on his body was weak, his cultivation should have reached the seventh realm.
When the middle-aged man saw someone appear, he immediately said, "Thank you for saving me. I will definitely thank you greatly!"
When she saw the middle-aged ghost cultivator, Shangguan Li's face was filled with hatred. She transmitted her voice to Li Mu, "He's the Rakshasa King!"
Li Mu raised his eyebrows. The Intellectual Sword condensed and pierced the wandering soul's body. At the same time, he summoned a thunder net. After the wandering soul was injured, it didn't continue to attack. Instead, it fled into the depths of the fog.
Although it hadn't developed intelligence, its instincts were stronger than other wandering souls. It wouldn't throw away its life for no reason.
While the Rakshasa King was shocked by this person's strength, he also breathed a sigh of relief. He cupped his hands to Li Mu and said, "Thank you for saving me. What are you doing!"
Before he could finish his words of thanks, a golden light suddenly appeared in front of him. A golden whip wrapped around his waist and dragged him over.
The Rakshasa King's expression changed greatly. He roared and his soul scattered. After it reunited, he had already broken free from the restraint. However, at this moment, a bell covered his head and trapped him inside.
The Rakshasa King tried to break out of the bell, but he couldn't break it at all. He could only shout to the people outside the bell, "I'm the Rakshasa Ghost King. You helped me. Let me out. I will definitely thank you greatly!"
Li Mu and Shangguan Li looked at him indifferently. They were indifferent to his words.
The Rakshasa King continued, "The entire Fengdu City of the Ghost Realm belongs to me. I also have a huge treasure house. What do you want? I will try my best to satisfy you!"
Li Mu looked at Shangguan Li and asked, "Ah Li, what do you want to do with him?"
Shangguan Li thought for a moment and said, "Let him hand over a wisp of his Life Soul."
Handing over his Life Soul meant that he would be controlled by others later. Trapped in the bell, the Rakshasa King's face instantly darkened. He said coldly, "Don't even think about it. I'm a ghost hero. It's impossible for me to hand over my Life Soul to be your servant. If I wasn't seriously injured, how could I be trapped by you …"
Li Mu looked at him and asked, "You won't hand it over, right?"
The Rakshasa King's face was full of arrogance. He said coldly, "I'd rather die than hand over my Life Soul to you!"
Li Mu's mind moved, and the Dao Bell started to shrink slowly. The Rakshasa King's soul was trapped inside, and the space he could fit in became smaller and smaller. He could only continue to condense his soul power. However, the Dao Bell could shrink infinitely, while the Rakshasa King's soul power could only shrink a little. Finally, when the Dao Bell shrank to the size of a palm, the Rakshasa King's soul couldn't shrink any further. Inside the Dao Bell, he shouted anxiously, "I'll give it to you. Is that not enough?!"
The Rakshasa King sullenly handed over a wisp of his Life Soul. He never thought that he would be so unlucky on this trip to the Land of the Fallen Gods.
First, he met a terrifying woman in white who severely injured him with one strike. Then, when he was running for his life, he accidentally ran into a Wandering Soul's nest and was chased by a Level-7 Wandering Soul everywhere.
When he finally got rid of that Wandering Soul, he fell into the hands of a human. Unfortunately, he couldn't even use ten percent of his peak cultivation. In order to save his life, he could only follow his father's request and give up a wisp of his Life Soul.
After accepting the Rakshasa King's Life Soul, Li Mu kindly released Little Rakshasa, whose cultivation had fallen to Level-4, so that the father and son could reunite.
When Little Rakshasa saw the Rakshasa King, he was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses.
At this moment, he'd found a place to vent all the grievances and resentment in his heart, and he cried loudly. "Father, these two fellows seized your treasure vault and seized Fengdu City, and they even forced me to lead the way for them. Quickly kill them and take revenge for me!"
The Rakshasa King grabbed him and said in shock, "W-what!"
Little Rakshasa pointed at Shangguan Li and said, "She's the woman that Father snatched back …"
The Rakshasa King stood there in a daze for a long time. He finally understood why these two people attacked him as soon as they met. It turned out that there was already enmity between them. With his status and strength, he could do whatever he wanted in the Ghost Realm. He never thought that he would end up like this because of a momentary impulse.
Perhaps this was the cycle of karma. The Rakshasa King's heart was filled with mixed feelings. Regret and hatred intertwined. He didn't know what to feel for a moment.
At this moment, Li Mu looked at him and asked, "Your cultivation is at Level-7. How did you end up like this?"
Should he say it or not? If Lord Rakshasa hadn't been severely injured, Li Mu wouldn't have been able to capture him so easily without using the Sun-Shooting Bow. Right now, the Land of the Fallen Gods was the least dangerous. With his cultivation, he shouldn't have been so severely injured.
Speaking of this, a trace of fear appeared on the Rakshasa King's face. He said with lingering fear, "The Heavenly Book has been taken away. That woman's strength is terrifying. I'm no match for her. It wasn't easy for me to escape from her …"
Li Mu's gaze turned cold. He said in a low voice, "Tell me more details."
The Rakshasa King described his experience of escaping from the woman in white again with lingering fear. Li Mu's expression also became more serious than before. The Heavenly Book that the Rakshasa King mentioned shouldn't be the Ghost Path Heavenly Book, but the other one that Li Mu sensed.
From his words, Li Mu indirectly understood the strength of the owner of the Heavenly Book.
The Rakshasa King wasn't her match. He couldn't even last one round. This meant that this person's cultivation was at least at the peak of Level-7. She was even stronger than the Empress. If Li Mu encountered her, there was a high chance that he wouldn't be her match.
After Li Mu took out the Heavenly Book, he obviously became that person's target. The safest thing to do was, of course, to leave this place. Before knowing Su He's whereabouts, Li Mu might have avoided her. But now, he had no way out.
He once missed an opportunity. He couldn't lose it a second time.
Li Mu looked at the unknown depths of the fog ahead. His gaze was extremely determined. He said in a low voice, "Let's go …"
