This powerful old man suddenly knelt down in front of Su He. Not only was Su He stunned, even Li Mu was a little confused.
He had already drawn his second bow and was not in a hurry to shoot.
Su He looked at the old man and asked in surprise, "What did you say?"
"This old servant has waited for hundreds of years. Finally, you are here." The old man lowered his head humbly and knelt on one knee on the ground. He said, "Disciple, quickly pay your respects to the Ghost Lord!"
Hearing this, King Yanluo hurried forward and knelt beside the old man. He said respectfully, "Greetings, Ghost Lord!"
Li Mu looked at Su He. Suddenly, a light flashed through his mind and he remembered something.
The cultivation path of the ghosts in the current world was created by the mighty figure of the ghost clan. As a top-notch expert, there were naturally many followers by his side. Among them, there was a group of ghosts that were most loyal to him. They were named the Ghost Servant Clan by him.
The other followers were his subordinates, and the Ghost Servant Race was his servant.
As a servant, the Ghost Servant Race received a lot from him, but the condition was absolute loyalty.
Their bloodlines were imprinted with the divine ability brand, and they were loyal to the Ghost Lord for generations. Although that mighty figure had already fallen, to the Ghost Servant Race, the one who had the Heavenly Book and could control ten thousand ghosts was the new Ghost Lord, and also the master they were loyal to.
Su He had the Heavenly Book and could control ghost cultivators. She was the master of the Ghost Servant Race.
This kind of servant was not like the Rakshasa King. Li Mu had used forceful methods to recruit subordinates. Their loyalty came from their bloodline and soul. They would never betray him.
Li Mu whispered a few words to Su He. Only then did Su He recover from her shock. She said to the old man and King Yanluo, "Get up."
"Thank you, Ghost Lord."
The old man and King Yanluo got up. Su He looked at the Rakshasa King and the others trapped in the cage and said, "Let them out."
"Understood."
The elder nodded in agreement. Then, he waved his hand, and the cage opened automatically. Luosha King and the other four demons flew out. This person's strength was unfathomable. If he had been by their side in the Land of the Fallen Gods, it would have been difficult for the female corpse in white to escape.
Although the First Ghost King had fallen a long time ago, he had left behind a huge inheritance for his successors. Any master of the Ghost Dao Heavenly Book could command the Ghost Servant Clan.
Yama Mountain, inside the main hall at the highest point.
Su He sat on a huge stone chair in front of the hall. The old man and King Yama stood below and said respectfully, "Your servant has been waiting for you for five hundred years …"
"500 years!" Hearing that, Rakshasa King was shocked. He could not help but exclaim, "How can anyone live for so long?!"
The Asura King and Yaksha King were also shocked. Only Ming Yi looked indifferent. He even looked at the three demons with disdain and said, "Frogs at the bottom of a well. Five hundred years is nothing. There are experts in this world who have lived for five thousand years …"
When the old man recognized the Sun Shooting Bow and called out Ao Xuan's name, Li Mu knew that he was also an old monster who inherited his memories. He had at least two thousand years of memories.
Li Mu gave a simple explanation. Only then did the Rakshasa King understand.
The Asura King was moved. He said in a low voice, "Why didn't I think of such a good idea? When my lifespan is about to end, I can use this method to pass on my memories. Wouldn't that make me immortal?"
The Rakshasa King glanced at him and said indifferently, "Aren't you lying to yourself? When the time comes, you'll still be dead. The new Asura King will just be another person who has your memories. Rather than letting an outsider occupy your Mount Mang City and sleep with your Dao companion, you might as well die and be done with it …"
The Asura King did not think much of it. He said, "I will erase his memories. When the time comes, he will be me, and I will be him."
Ming Yi looked at them again and said mercilessly, "Do you think you can pass on anyone's memories? If you want to pass on your memories, you have to be at least at the Ninth Realm. Which one of you has this ability?"
These words completely extinguished the Asura King's hope. Then, they looked straight at the old man. Only Ninth Realm experts could pass on their memories. Didn't that mean that this old man had reached the Heavenly Demon Realm before?
Li Mu was not surprised. Thousands of years ago was different from now. Although Ninth Realm experts were rare, they were not non-existent.
In comparison, it was the Ghost Lord's cultivation level that shocked and astonished Li Mu. Just what kind of powerful cultivator was qualified to have a Level-9 servant?
Li Mu cupped his hands and asked, "Senior, how should I address you?"
The old man saw that this young man had a close relationship with the Ghost Lord. He said, "You can call me Ghost Servant."
The strength of a Ghost Servant was not below that of the Five Patriarchs of the Demonic Way. Such an expert was willing to bow his head and be a servant for thousands of years. It was enough to show the strength of the First Ghost Lord's spiritual imprint.
Li Mu looked at him and asked, "You know Ao Xuan?"
The old man nodded and said, "He was an expert of the Black Dragon Clan 2,000 years ago. 2,000 years ago, Ao Xuan used the Sun Shooting Bow to dominate the Ten Continents and Four Seas. No one could match him. After Ao Xuan disappeared, the Sun Shooting Bow, the number one divine artifact of the cultivation world, also disappeared …"
Li Mu continued to ask, "The number one divine artifact?"
The old man's face revealed a look of reminiscence. He then said, "Ao Xuan's cultivation was not the strongest at that time, but after he obtained the Sun Shooting Bow, he began to sweep through experts of the same level. Even the only Ninth Realm Heavenly Demon of the continent at that time fell at his hands. From then on, the cultivation world recognized the Sun Shooting Bow as the number one divine artifact …"
Li Mu thought for a moment and asked, "Who made the Sun Shooting Bow?"
After comprehending the Heavenly Tomes, Li Mu also knew how top-grade magic treasures like the Dao Bell and the Sky Piercing Spear were made. He only could not understand the Sun Shooting Bow. The method of making this bow was not recorded in the Heavenly Tomes.
The old man shook his head and said, "No one knows. The origin of the Sun Shooting Bow was also a mystery at that time. At that time, Ao Xuan was chased by his enemies and had to hide everywhere. He disappeared for ten years. Ten years later, when he reappeared with the Sun Shooting Bow in hand, he killed all his enemies. From then on, no one dared to provoke him."
The ghost servant with thousands of years of memories obviously knew much more than Li Mu. Even the Rakshasa King and the others were listening attentively.
Feng Yi had been in the Devil Path for more than a hundred years. These things were not a secret to him, but to the Rakshasa King and the other ghosts, many of the things the ghost servant said subverted their understanding.
Li Mu pondered for a moment and finally asked, "Since even you have reincarnated for so many times, why didn't the former Ghost Lord do the same?"
The old man revealed a look of reverence and said, "Master said that the one who reincarnated was no longer him. Instead of deceiving ourselves like those fellows of the Devil Path, it is better to follow the Heavenly Dao and wait for the next fated person …"
Compared to the ancestors of the Devil Path, the Ghost Lord clearly had the demeanor of a powerhouse. Li Mu thought of something and asked, "Do you know why the Devil Path has been constantly searching for the Heavenly Tomes for ten thousand years?"
The old man was silent for a moment and slowly said, "I don't know their specific purpose, but the Devil Path once chased after several Ghost Lords for the Ghost Dao Heavenly Tomes."
Li Mu looked at Feng Yi, who immediately said, "I don't know either. I only know that the Heavenly Tomes may hide the secret of eternal life. As long as there is news about the Heavenly Tomes, we must report it to the Third Ancestor …"
