Li Mu thought for a while and said to Princess Linglong, "It's better not to tell her about these things."
It was nothing for a man to suffer a little outside. He was not afraid of the Empress being angry, but he did not want her to feel sorry for him.
He looked at Princess Linglong again and asked, "Are you ready?"
Princess Linglong nodded her head.
Li Mu let go of her hand, and the Sun Shooting Bow appeared in his hand. At the same time, an illusory shadow appeared in the cave. This was a doppelganger that Li Mu had created in a month. This doppelganger contained his full power.
The doppelganger walked into Li Mu's body, and Li Mu shot the bow into the sky. After a flash of light, the Earth Peak flashed, and a transparent shield collapsed. Li Mu held Princess Linglong's hand and immediately used Shrinking Distance. The two of them appeared a hundred miles away from the Demonic Island.
Almost at the same time when the Sun Shooting Bow shattered the protective array, Xuan Ming, who was cultivating in the tower in the middle of the island, suddenly raised her head.
Her cold and emotionless face revealed a rare look of shock. She blurted out, "This is … the aura of the Sun Shooting Bow!"
Then, her body moved out of the tower. At the same time, she felt a spatial fluctuation coming from one of the palaces on the Earth Peak.
Xuan Ming scanned with her spiritual will, but she did not find Princess Linglong. The aura of the Pure Yang Body had also completely disappeared.
"Li Mu!"
She immediately realized something, and a shocking roar reverberated throughout the Demonic Island. Spots of white light emitted from Xuan Ming's body, and in the next moment, she disappeared into thin air, leaving only a name reverberating on the Demonic Island.
"What happened?"
"It sounded like the voice of the Fifth Forefather. Who angered the Fifth Forefather?"
"Li Mu. Did this person do something again?"
…
Only after Xuan Ming left did the experts on the Demonic Island react. They all flew into the sky with a confused look, not knowing what had happened.
At this moment, a hundred miles away from the Demonic Island, two figures appeared from the void.
Princess Linglong's pretty face was filled with astonishment. Just a moment ago, they were still in the lair of Diabolism. In the next moment, they were above the sea, and they could no longer see the Ghostly Island. This kind of long-distance teleportation was something that even Transcendence experts couldn't master.
Before she could come back to her senses, a white line suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea in the distance, and it was approaching them at an extremely fast speed.
Princess Linglong asked curiously, "What is that white line?"
Li Mu was alarmed and immediately said, "Leave quickly!"
That was not a white line. It was steam rising from the boiling sea. Xuan Ming had caught up.
As expected of the Five Ancestors of the Demonic Dao, an old monster from ten thousand years ago. Even though Li Mu had taken the initiative, she could still catch up so quickly. Li Mu held Princess Linglong's hand and disappeared again.
After three breaths, Xuan Ming appeared at their previous location. Her face was cold as she continued to chase to the west. She said coldly, "Let's see how many times you can move …"
After teleporting out of the void once again, Li Mu's magic power had already been depleted by a small half.
Although the Shrinking Ground was extremely fast, it also consumed a lot of spiritual power. Usually, he would recover his spiritual power as he hurried along. In this situation, he obviously didn't have the time to recover his spiritual power.
As soon as the two of them appeared, the white line appeared on the surface of the sea again.
Li Mu continued to move. This time, he and Princess Linglong appeared on a small island.
Floating above the island, Li Mu didn't run away again. Instead, he quietly waited for Xuan Ming's arrival. After a few breaths, the white line on the surface of the sea swept over, and the figure of a woman in white walked out. She was about a hundred feet away from Li Mu.
However, she didn't attack Li Mu. Instead, she looked down at the sea below and said coldly, "Come out!"
A shadow flew out from the sea and turned into an old man. He cupped his hands at Xuan Ming and said, "Greetings, Lord Xuan Ming."
Looking at the old man in front of her, Xuan Ming's expression became dignified. She said coldly, "Ghost Servant, you dare to stop me?"
When she was at her peak, even the Ghost Lord was afraid of her. She didn't care about a mere ghost servant. However, in this life, she hadn't cultivated to the peak. The ghost servant in front of her had the strength to fight with her.
The ghost servant just looked at her calmly and said, "I have to obey the master's order. Lord Xuan Ming, please don't blame me."
"Then let's die together with them!"
Xuan Ming's expression was cold. The sea below also froze instantly. Her cold voice seemed to come from the endless hell.
As soon as Xuan Ming's voice fell, Li Mu felt that the blood and Primordial Spirit in his body were about to break out. Princess Linglong's face was even paler. Her Primordial Spirit Shadow appeared outside her body. Li Mu immediately sent her into the Flask Space. He also distanced himself from the battlefield.
Both Xuan Ming and the ghost servant had the strength of the peak of the Transcendent Realm. In the center of their battle, within a radius of ten miles, huge waves rolled up. The sea water boiled into fog for a moment and then froze into ice for a moment. The sky also dimmed. The white clouds near the battlefield were scattered and disappeared.
Li Mu was dozens of miles away. His hair and clothes fluttered because of the wind caused by the aftermath of the spell.
The ghost servant's spiritual power was more profound, but Xuan Ming's experience was obviously more abundant. The two of them couldn't determine the winner in a short time. However, if the battle dragged on for a long time, the experts of the Demon Sect from the Ghost Island would arrive. In Li Mu's hand, the Sun Shooting Bow appeared again. He quickly locked onto Xuan Ming and shot an arrow.
This arrow took away one of Xuan Ming's arms. Li Mu's spiritual power was also depleted. He quickly used the incantation to recover his spiritual power and waited for the second arrow to be shot.
There was no need to talk about martial ethics when dealing with the enemy. It would be best if he could kill her today. Even if he couldn't, he had to end the battle as soon as possible.
After being hit by the Sun Shooting Bow, Xuan Ming's strength was damaged. In the battle with the ghost servant, she immediately fell into a disadvantage. At this time, the ghost servant suddenly said, "Ghost Empress, please lend me the Sun Shooting Bow."
Li Mu didn't react at first. He was stunned for a moment before he realized what the Ghost Empress meant.
At present, other than the Tao Te Ching that could injure the enemy eight hundred and himself a thousand, the Sun Shooting Bow was his biggest trump card. Li Mu naturally couldn't give it to others easily. This bow couldn't recognize an owner. Whoever had it could use it. If it was given to an evil person, wouldn't there be endless troubles?
Li Mu was still hesitating, but Xuan Ming's expression had changed greatly.
She no longer fought with the ghost servant. Her body turned into a white light and disappeared into the sky in a flash.
The ghost servant slowly flew back. He cupped his hands at Li Mu and said, "Please forgive this old servant for being rash. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to intimidate her."
Li Mu hadn't seen the other abilities of the Five Ancestors of the Demonic Way, but her ability to escape was top-notch. Both times, she was decisive and straightforward, without any hesitation. No wonder her memory could be safely passed down for ten thousand years without any mistakes.
Li Mu didn't delay. He and the ghost servant flew to the coast of the South Sea.
At this moment, the crisis had been resolved. However, three days later, when the Third Ancestor woke up, they would have to bear the fury of an eighth realm expert. He had to make thorough arrangements early.
When Li Mu brought Princess Linglong back to Yong, Xuan Ming, who had lost an arm, also returned to Ghost Island.
He and the Third Ancestor didn't expect that Li Si was actually Li Mu. His purpose in coming to Ghost Island was to rescue Princess Linglong and steal the Heavenly Book. He actually succeeded!
Although the Sage Sect had obtained a page of the Heavenly Book from Yong, three pages had been snatched away by Li Mu. It was a disastrous loss.
What was even more infuriating was that everyone, including her and the Third Ancestor, had been fooled by Li Mu. For ten thousand years, no one had ever done such a thing. The Sage Sect had never lost the Heavenly Book they had obtained.
The commotion at the Earth Peak was too great. In addition, the Fifth Ancestor had returned with an arm missing. This matter quickly caused a huge uproar on Ghost Island.
"Li Si is a spy!"
"He is that Li Mu from the Great Zhou?"
"He snatched away Princess Linglong and the Heavenly Book …"
…
Countless Demonic Path powerhouses were shocked speechless by this news. No one doubted Li Si because he was brought back by their own people. It was even more impossible for them to think that he was Li Mu.
Who was Li Mu? The future headmaster of the Fu-lu School, the official of the Empress of the Great Zhou, the only demon empress of the Queen of the Thousand Demons, the man behind the Ghost Lord of the Ghost Realm. He single-handedly influenced the situation of the mainland and was the number one enemy of the Sage Sect. He was the man with the most power and the most prominent status on the mainland.
Who was Li Si? A good-for-nothing who was ravaged by women every day. Who would have thought that they were the same person?
"The Fifth Elder is in trouble this time. He was the one who brought Li Mu back. He can't escape responsibility."
"There is no doubt about the Fifth Elder's loyalty. I'm afraid that the Fifth Elder had been tricked by Li Mu from the beginning."
"This person knows when to yield and when to stand tall. He is the most difficult enemy of the Sage Sect. If he escapes this time, there will be endless trouble in the future …"
…
In the midst of the crowd's discussion, the Fifth Elder's face was ghastly pale, and he gradually collapsed to the ground.
Ninth Elder's face was lifeless as he clenched the medicinal pill he had concocted for Li Si. With a bang, he crushed the jade bottle.
