After walking a few steps, Li Mu walked back and asked the middle-aged man, "Elder, what is the background of the woman inside? Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles. Junior needs to understand her identity."
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "She is the princess of Yong. She has a special constitution that is of great use to the Sage Sect …"
A moment later, under the gaze of the elder, Li Mu strode into the palace at the very front with his head held high.
The doors to the palace were tightly shut. Li Mu glanced back. The elder waved his sleeve, and the doors slowly opened.
Li Mu walked into the palace and looked back again. The elder hesitated for a moment, then waved his sleeve again, and the heavy stone doors slowly closed.
He patiently waited in the plaza. Regardless of whether Li Si planned to persuade her or sleep with her, as long as he could make her agree to work for the Sage Sect, he did not care about the process.
After the stone doors closed, Li Mu gazed ahead.
This was a courtyard that was even more spacious than the place where he cultivated. The decorations and furnishings within the courtyard were more abundant and exquisite. There was a pavilion in the middle of the courtyard, with a carved stone table and a stone bench. A woman sat on the bench, her back facing Li Mu.
As Li Mu approached her, he slowly said, "Miss, you are under someone else's roof. Why bother?"
The woman did not even glance at Li Mu, coldly replying, "I will not wallow in the mire with the Devil Sect. You don't need to waste your breath. Get out. This place does not welcome anyone."
Li Mu coldly snorted and said, "Do you think you are still the princess of Yong? Let me tell you, this is the Sage Sect's territory. If you are unwilling to submit to the Sage Sect, you will suffer in the future. Do you know what it feels like to have your soul burned …?"
As he spoke, Li Mu had already walked into the pavilion and placed a hand on the woman's shoulder.
The woman's body trembled, and her magic leaked out. She angrily said, "What are you doing? Don't touch me …"
However, in the next moment, her expression froze as a voice rang out in her mind.
"Listen, I'm an official of the Great Zhou. This time, I'm here on the orders of the Empress of the Great Zhou to rescue you from Ghost Island. From now on, pretend that you don't know my identity. Don't reveal any flaws. I'll come find you again …"
As these words rang in her mind, Princess Linglong's beautiful eyes widened. Soon after, her face regained its coldness and said without fear, "Cut the crap. If you want to kill me, then kill me. If you want to torture me, then torture me!"
Li Mu revealed a gratified look. This Princess Linglong indeed had an exquisite heart. Although there were still some flaws in her acting, there were only the two of them here, and no one else could see it.
That Demonic Path Elder was definitely paying attention to this place. Now was not the right time to explain everything to her.
Li Mu took his hand off her shoulder and said, "I'll give you one more day to think about it. After one day, if you still don't submit to the holy sect, I'll let you have a taste of my means …"
With that, he strode out of the palace.
In the plaza, the Ninth Elder asked him, "How is it?"
Li Mu shook his head and said, "Dripping water can wear a stone. It's not the work of a day. Elder, don't worry. Within three days, I'll definitely convince her to change her mind and have her wholeheartedly swear loyalty to the holy sect."
As this matter concerned him, the Ninth Elder was not at ease. He continued to ask, "How do you plan on convincing her?"
Li Mu replied, "First I'll use the hard approach, then I'll use the soft approach."
The Ninth Elder pursued, "How do you plan on using the hard approach first, then the soft approach?"
Li Mu thought for a moment, then said, "Since she's not afraid of death, then we'll use her family to threaten her. Tell her that if she doesn't agree, we'll exterminate her Yong imperial family."
The Ninth Elder revealed a disappointed expression. "If this kind of threat was effective against her, would it even be your turn?"
Li Mu thought for a moment, then said, "Then I'll use the soft approach. I can use my male charms to seduce her. Once she falls in love with me, she'll be at my mercy. Naturally, she'll pledge allegiance to the holy sect with a single word from me."
The Ninth Elder glanced at him and rudely said, "Who do you think you are to make a princess fall in love with you in three days?"
Li Mu proudly said, "I have confidence in myself. If I use my full strength, I can easily capture the Empress of the Great Zhou, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons, or even the Ghost Lord of the Ghost Realm, let alone a trifling princess of Yong …"
The Ninth Elder took a deep breath and said, "I hope you have the ability. I'll wait for your good news."
The Ninth Elder was at his wit's end when it came to the Yong princess. The Third Ancestor had said that he couldn't use torture on her, or else he would destroy her Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart. However, if he didn't use torture, he didn't have any good ideas.
At this moment, he could only try everything he could and place his hopes on the person in front of him.
Although he was full of arrogant words, it couldn't be denied that he was handsome and handsome. Perhaps he really did have a glimmer of hope.
As for his talk of capturing the Empress of the Great Zhou, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons, and the Ghost Lord, the Ninth Elder only treated it as a joke. Who did he think he was? The continent's number one Xiao Bai face, the Great Zhou's powerful minister, Li Mu?
The Ninth Elder gave Li Mu three days to convince Princess Linglong. He also gave Li Mu a command medallion that could open the stone door to the dao palace she resided in.
Li Mu didn't appear to be in a rush. After sleeping peacefully for the night, he once again headed for dao palace number one.
At this moment, Princess Linglong, who hadn't slept the entire night, was sitting in a pavilion within the dao palace's courtyard. She appeared somewhat haggard.
Half a month ago, that white-clothed woman had descended upon the Yong Kingdom. Her father, grandfather, and great-grandfather had all been defeated by her. Yong's Heavenly Tomes had been stolen, and she had been captured and brought here. She had been surrounded by demonic cultivators. She had tried to escape several times, but every time, she had been captured before she could leave this mountain peak.
It was absolutely impossible for her to pledge allegiance to the demonic cultivators and decipher the Heavenly Tomes for them. After running out of hope, she thought of committing suicide.
As long as she died, the demonic cultivators would no longer be able to force her.
However, just as she had made this decision in her despair, the Great Zhou official who had infiltrated this place gave her hope.
Although the Great Zhou was the sovereign state of the Yong Kingdom, Princess Linglong hadn't expected that the Great Zhou would actually send someone to infiltrate this place for her sake. After being here for half a month, she already knew that there were countless experts here. Not only was there that terrifying white-clothed woman, there were also eighth level experts. Even if the Empress of the Great Zhou came here, she probably wouldn't be able to rescue her.
Compared to having another person die in vain, she would much rather have that Great Zhou official never come here.
Rumble …
The stone doors of the dao palace slowly opened and then slowly closed. The young man who had been here yesterday once again appeared before her eyes.
As Li Mu walked towards Princess Linglong, he asked, "A day has already passed. What's wrong? Have you thought it through?"
Princess Linglong's voice was still cold. "Even if I die, I won't do anything for the demonic cultivators."
Li Mu walked in front of her and shook his head. "You're such a beautiful young lady. It would be a pity if you died. Think about it again …"
As he spoke, he extended his hand towards Princess Linglong. Princess Linglong immediately understood and extended her small hand to hold Li Mu's hand. This way, the two of them could directly transmit their voices through their bodies and not be heard by anyone else.
Princess Linglong transmitted her voice with some uncertainty. "Sir, are you really an official of the Great Zhou?"
Li Mu replied, "Other than the officials of the Great Zhou, who else would come to save you? I know everything that happened in the State of Yong. This time, I've come to save you."
Princess Linglong took a deep breath and continued transmitting her voice. "This place is filled with experts of the demonic cultivators. You can't save me. You'll only throw your life away."
This young lady clearly didn't believe in his strength. Li Mu shot a glance at her and asked, "Then I'll leave?"
The faint light in Princess Linglong's eyes dimmed. She nodded and said, "You can leave. If you can return alive, can you make a trip to the State of Yong and tell Father and Grandfather that Linglong didn't do anything to let them down …"
Li Mu said indifferently, "Since I'm already here, I, Li Mu, am not someone who gives up halfway."
Princess Linglong suddenly raised her head, her eyes radiating light. She said in disbelief, "Sir, you are Li Mu, Lord Li?"
Li Mu looked at her and asked, "You know of me?"
Princess Linglong immediately replied, "Of course. Who doesn't know of Lord Li? He helped the Empress pacify the Great Zhou, dealt a heavy blow to the demonic cultivators, established an alliance with the Yao State and the Ghost Realm, and established the peace of the Zu Continent for thousands of years. Many of the officials of the State of Yong view him as a role model …"
When Princess Linglong spoke of these things, her eyes were filled with light. Li Mu didn't expect that the person he wanted to save would be his own little fangirl. Even though he was thick-skinned, he still felt somewhat embarrassed and said, "You flatter me, you flatter me …"
Princess Linglong's hand, which was holding onto Li Mu, trembled. She nervously asked, "Sir, are you really Lord Li?"
Li Mu nodded and said, "Because I had to sneak into the Ghost Island to save you, I changed my appearance."
Princess Linglong's face was filled with anticipation. She asked, "Lord Li, can I ask you a question?"
Li Mu knew what she was worried about and said, "Don't worry. I said that I would save you, so I will definitely save you."
Princess Linglong shook her head and said, "I want to ask you, are you and Her Majesty really lovers?"
